LONDON, Nov. %.
Cattle Nuovo, the RrongeN fortrefs in the mouths
OF the Cattarro, has been taken by form by the
French under general Marmont He ha, publifhed
proclamation inviting the inhabitants of Cattaro to
give up that place him, and threatens to treat them
ieverely If they are found fighting the de Of the
kuiians IL is extremely probable, therefore that BY
this time the whole of Cattaro is in the hands of the
French.
In Poland the French received with great ioy
and in feveral places the inhabitants have already
rien upon the Prufhan garriGons and dfarmed them.

While Bonaparte is reducing the court of Vienna

1t is evident that he means to t.rrify Denmark in

Immediately make, and which will have for their OBJ

IL is abundanty plain that Bonaparte breads lean
Ruiha, by her great local advantages hall fnatch
from his paws the central parts of the Turkii nonar
chy and that he wants by every means of ehicane
or force, to obru her way and leave the road clear
and unembarrafed to himfelf. 1t is well known TO
Europe what he thinks of the independence of the
Pore. Did he not declare TO lord Whtworth, in his
celebrated conference with that ambaIador that the
lursifh empire muA foon fall to pieces, And was
ne not ready then to enter upon the partition of
his extraordinary fuccehes have fnce prompted hn,
appears, to graP at the whole. As it very clear
that 1t is only Ruilia rather Rui1ia and Auftria
combined, that can prevent the accomplishment of
ions huf at1t 81,
themielves, both of thefe powers ought to be encou
ragged to look for their decentralization in Turkey, in
lieu OF any facrifces which they may fuaan in Po-
land, or eiewhere. Germany is forlorn hope
Should Ruilia and Auitra, by laying open to Bona
parte the Turkiih domnIons, obtain the removal of
his troops from Poland and Berlin, he would be able
to march in one month"; to his ancient petitions: thus
would they only weaken themfelves on the one (ide
without strengthening themlelves the other and
Europe, to Till greater extent would be laid at the
feet OF the Oiiturber. As 'ruri,fh ground he
would fight at 70 great a dillance from France, &,
excluded from the fea, with infinite disadvantages {;
and they, in the vicinity of their own dominiops,
with the command of the fea, would fight with inf
mite advantages; it is here, if any where that we
may hope iucceisful contea might be wsged with
him.
The mails OF calamtous intelligence which il is our
unhappy fate to communicate this day is beyond any
thing that has preceded il in thefe times 70 fruitful in
dilaters.
The French armies fpread themielves in every d.
reetion. Martial Mortier has taken poGelIion of
Hamburg in the of his matter. The French
folders placed free quarters in the boufes of
the inhabitants All Englifh property is under re-
qultion, which is to be enforced by domciliary vi
fits
In coniequence of this gloomy intelligence, the
funds experienced comfortable depreiion. omnie

The equalization Of Butcher has removed all diff
hculty of communication between Hamburg and the
different towns and places udted between that city
and the frontiers Of Poland But though we have
now received accurate intelligence Of the march and
movements Of the French armies we are without any
certain accounts from the Pruilisns or the Rufians
Where the king Of Pruf5a is and what force is left To
him after the wreck and ruin Of the army that fought
at Jena, we know not. We fuppofe he is retiring
further from the right bank Of the Vinula. The
Ruliians, 10000 arong, were in full march for the
frontiers Of 5ilefia, but they have fallen back The
only ytem they adopt is that OF pro,raaed war

courts Of Petersburg, Vienna and Berlin 70 much
