1t is confidently reported that the Jews of
Pruflia have declined Tending any of their Rab-
bies to the Grand Sanhedrim convcked BY the
French Government, and now actually fitting
at Paris. In coniequence of the invitation fent
to them, the Rulers and Heads of Tribes among
the Prufiian Jews have Attended, and declared
% the mott unequivocal, clear, and foemn man
ner, that Pruiiia is their country, that they ne
yer with for better, and that it is not a point
IN their religion to prefer the Holy Land to any
other, as has been fappofed by the Chraian
Divines. CoHformable to this doctrine, they
have notified, in the mott public and authentic
manner, this declaration, and have invited his
Pruliian Majcfty TO receive their homage and
oath of fealty, before the altar. at the Grand
Synagogue at Potzdam. II is faid that his Ma
jeffy has expreiied much fatsfattion at this de-
claration, and has given the Jews to underiland,
that he will attend at their place of orihip on
his return from the army.-The voluntary fub-
fcriPtlons OF the Jews ar Berlin are without ex-
ample, tome of them having fubfcribed 900
guineas, and none under looI. terling.

According to accounts from the French coan.
mott of the troops in the carlton in that line
have been marched to the feat of war; If this
be true, either the allied armies mutt be in on
hderable force, or Bonaparte wilhes to put an
not require TO be repeated. If the latter flioud
be his object, it may be defeated by experience
and dexterity. The Pruiilans have dearly pur-
chaied the one; and if Lord Hutchn(on fhoud
reach the allied camp in time, he NAV be fafcy
looked TO for tue other. Much, fay perhaps
the whole, in the end, will depend on the part
which AuitrIa may take in thefe ftrugsles The
neutrality of that Cabinet will req ON the fac
ceiies OF Bonaparte; for if fortune ihould con-
tinue to fmile on him, it would be the height of
raihneis to take any part that woud draw down
the lightning of his vengeance on her head.
Under the pretext of neutrality, Auftria may re-
crult her forces and recover from the wounds
inhlcted in the battle of AuferItz and if an
opening fhould offer, either policy or generality
would, in all probability, unfheath the fvvord
ne military requilitions in Spain have given
Jiie to different opinions. To re6t the opprec
mons OF France, cannot be the object; nor yet
south America; for in the feeble fate of the
oPanth Navy, troops could not be transported
thither. The invafion of Portugal, in all likeli-
mood, rs the aim. We cannot, from the difsri.
button OF our land forces, allit the Portuguese
with men; and it is men only can fave them.
IT. the fubiugation of Portugal then ihouId be
Inc object OF Spain, and if the former fhould be
conitraned TO yield, the Court of Lifbon, it is
thought, will remove to Brazil, where it will be
'oliowed by all thofe who do not with to bend
their neck to the Spanfh yoke
1t is now confidently faid, that Vera Cruz is
the tirit object of the expedition which failed
few days fnce, under general Crawford; and
then Lima. When gen. Crawford has reached
his deitination, we ihall have ten thoufand men
