The Pruffian conful has been authorized to ,
warn all matters of Prufian fhips in :his coun- |
thy, againft entering amy ~ the ports of France
and Holland, as thereby their veliels might be
brought into danger"
This ~circumtance affords a deciGve proof of
Pruiia having determined to join her arms to
thofe Of the Allies. Yet there arc fomc who.
think that no differences favourable to an immr-
date declaration of hotilitv againft France can
be drawn from this, but that there is only C.
noueh in it to R,ew that the indignation of his
PrufIian Maicty is not to be foot.ea except by
full and ample concefion and PREPARATION. Il
In the firit place we mutt reinitate what we
afierted vetterday. thar the violation ofthe An
fpach territory, though it may have Confirmed
and strengthened Pruliia in her determination
totake an active part againf France, was not
the caufe of that determination and We fuc.
peel that 'Bonaparte, at the time lis troops were
violating the Pruaiau territory was fully aware
ofthe fentiments and Intentions of the Prttsan
Cabinet: I'm the fecond place, it feems ftrange
for any one who has followed the cautious
movements and iteps of that cabinet fnce the
peace OF Bale, to fuppofe that Pfnfia would
have adopted 10 decilive a meafure, if A mere
apology for the violation, or repayment for the

In this aufpicious f~tua.ion uf affairs, his Ma.
iefy's Miniiters have very wi!ely determined to
ftnd an extraordinary Embaly to the conrt of
Berlin.--Lord Harrowby has been appointed
Amba1adour Extraordinary, and is TO he &C.
companied by Mr.. Hammond as principal fe-
cretary to the ErnbafFy, and Mr.. Montague as
his private fecretary. Colonel Antruther is to
go to the North of Europe as Commifiary or
Agent with the Allied Armies, and is to ac-
company the Prul1ian armies. Lord Harrow

1t was reported yeterday that Prufia had &C.
tually declared war: but this rumour is pre-
mature.-Government have not yet rec eived adj
vices of fuch a declaration having been pubiifh-
ed +; it may perhaps be brought by the next
mail. Dnroc fill fingered at Berlin, when the
Taft accounts left that city (; Bonaparte whining
to keep him there as long as ponible in order to
induce a belief that the negotiations between
the two courts are not at an end. TIE Bava-
rian and French minifers at the Prufian court
have experienced lately feveraI flights and NOR.
tihcations---M L.aforef has been, under vari-
Gus pretences, refufed an audience of the cabi.
net m'nifter, M. de Hardenberg (; and the Ba-
varian miniler was equally upfucceisful in his
attempt to apologize in perfon for the conduct
of his mater in joining France after having
pledged himftift to make common caufc with
Auftria. sfr~ q
But the evaporation of Pruf1ia with the allies
is likely alfo To be accompanied withpthe Coo
peration of other powers. Saxonv and HeGe, &
Denmark will, in all probability, make common
cauie with her. The junction of all thefc pow
ers will bring a vaf a~cceiion of Arength to the
philcal force of the allies. The Pruffian ar
mics are upwards of 100000 hrong, all in the
hneft order and difcipiine, and ia complete rea-
dinefs for immediate fcrvice.
But II mnf not be ~fuppo(ed that PruGia has
Joined the Allies without certain Populations &
conditions (; we ftated yefterday that her Coo
peration was to be Under certain eouditions--
what they are, is not accurately known but
they may eafily be eucIed. One of the frR
mcalures that will be adopted will be the ref
cutEg the Dutch Provinces from the grafp of
France, iorthe purpofr, we fnppofe, of giving
them to Prufiia.-So long as France poiiefirs the
Netherlands, Holland cannot exit as an inde-
pendent State.-No power but Prufia can pre-
veht France from continuing to e~xercife that
influence over them, which has made them in
tact, ifnot in form, a department of France.
We need icarcely add, that in this country
there could not be a moments heftation with
reipect to fleeing them in pohefion Of 4 power
that conld protect them aga;nft France.-But
though Great Britain might view fuch an event

We have received Paris papers to the Esd, and
Dutch gazet,es to the IS h iui. The Moniteurs of
the 18th and iSti contain the 4th and 5th bulletins
OF the grand army. The IN bulletin is dated Auss-
burg the llth, and gives an account of a battle at
Gunzburg on the preceding day, in which the French
were victorious. Gunzburg was defended by Prince
Ferdinand in perfon. The place was carried, after
an obttniate %reiiitance, and the Aufrians made three
1ueceihve attacks to recover it, but all in vain. The
lois of the Auitrians in this affair, is nated at $500
killed, and 200 made prifoners. The lois of the
French in killed and wounded, is eliminated az one
tenth or about 400. The 9Th bulletin is alto from
Augfburgh, and dated the 18th inf. I, fates. that
