The peace concluded with RufIia on the goth
July, and the pending negotiations with G..
Britain, which had nearly attained maturity, &C.
oa6oned uneahnefs at the court of Berlin. The
uncertain, bat always increaing reports, and
the fad of all the powers, after being alter
nately betrayed by that cabinet, having reafon
to camplain ofit--occafioncd it to give credit
TO fome rnmor5, which aherted that one of the
fecret articles of the treaty w:.h Ruffia, 1ipu-
lated that Poland fhoud be given to the Grand
Duke Conftantine, with the title and dignity
of king-Se6a to be given to Auftria, for her
flare of Poland-and laftly Hanover to Eng
land. In word, the court of Berlin firmly be-
Iieved that thefe three powers had projected a
plan, in conjunction with France, from which
great danger would be likely to refult to the
Srown of Prufia.
The complaints of France of the conduct of
Pruiiia, took their origin at very early period.
Firit of all, Pruflia took arms with view of
benehttiRg by her intefine connections. Then

way by the treaty of Vienna.
Ruiha had to complain of her. That power
cannot politely fulfil the former nor forget the
treaty of Vienna.
The grievances given by Pruffia to the empe-
Tor OF Auftria, and to the Germanic body
more numerous than the former-have always
been well known. She was always quarreIlng
with the congregation of the empire. When
The German empire was engaged in any war,

III the chs.reeter of the PrufIian Monarch, would
mo sremfrlges greatly deceived. For the aft
SO years, the court of Berlin has bee the ltage
on which the guarrals of party fpirt have been
decided by alternate Victories. One party is
diipofed for peace, and the other for war. The
leaf political eveot, and the mott trifiing inter

On the fifth Aug. a courier arrived at Berlin
from the Marcus of LucheIini, aud brosght the
moa poftivt accounts and ahurances of RulIia
and France having agreed to reftore the kingdom
of Poland ~ conformity to the treaty of the
goth July, and of taking SileiS from PrufIia.
The Importers of war became inRantly in1a-
med--they ovcrpowered the feelings of the
king-forty couriers were fent off in a Jingle

The news Of this fudden explofion reached
Paris on the 10th day of the fame month. Eve
ry one pitied an ally who was 70 cruelty milgui-
ded. The nece6ary explanations were imme-
diately given, as well As the NOT pofitive affu-
rance and, az an error was evidently the only
motive for the ornaments Of Pruffia, it was ho-
ped that, on mature deliberation, fuch madnefs
would be terminated.
In the mean time the treaty fgned at Paris
was not ratified aud fucceeding accounts of
