q report was Yesterday circulated, that
the difference between Prussia and France
rad risen to suchn height as TO render hos.
tiii,ies- almost resitahlc.--Therc is not,
we believe, any foundation for .his report !;
but there cen be no doubt that the Cabi-
nets of Berlin ard the Thui!leriea must
view each other with degree of suspi-
cion and distrust which may very pro.
baby lead TO open hcstiIities /; though in
the presen, state Of Europe, they hRveboth
strong reasons to avoid il. rNssia can
not wish fer war With France, the result
etwhich may not only diminish her power,
but endangerher very existence az an in
dependent state on the other hand, Bo.
papsrte, with all his confidence In his Own
fortune, and In the bravery of his troops,
with oil his lust of conquest, must be
aware of the difficulties he would have to
encounter in engaging in a war with
Prussia, aching in concert with Russia and
Great Britain besides, Italy, though no.
minally subjected to his power, is in a
very unsettled state and Austria, though
hunEled, is by no means subdued. II
SCENE, indeed, frsm the last MSnifexrs,
that BoBaparte already begins to entertain
some unessiDess with respect 70 the dis
position and intention of the Cabinet of
Vienna. The French official paper makes
. formal complaint against the Emperor
Of Germany for employing Count Stsdion
AS his Minister; and If it be true that Ia.
ron Thugut is again to b. placed at the
bead of the councils Of Austria, we may
expett 10 find those complaints converted
iaie ,neneces.
Inc Paris ha3ters which arrived last
night 10 the 2slh, snd Dutch Journals to
tic 23t instant, afford little in addition to
what We have before stated Respecting
the slWa'ion Of Affairs -onihe continent.-
he French amy, on the Maia, was, ii
appears, receiving reinforcement., not on
ly by means of The troops returning from
Mo,avia, but the Division OF General
Laval, which formed part Of the Array
Of the north, and afterwards returned
10 S.rasburg, had received order. to
march 10 the banks of the Main. This is
an additional proof of the want of cordi-
Atty between Prussia and France and
although there may he at present dis
INCLINATION to enter into hostilitcs. we have
little doubt as We before stated that Prus.
sia viii ultimately find that she, must eli
thes sacrifice her honor and her rank az
q first rate power, at the shrine of the in
ordinate ambition OF Eoeapar,s, or reso-
lntely combat IN the Geld the armies of
France.

Against both these measures voted in
all their stages. The CAUSES, which il
