In the papers and letters by the mail,
nothing is said at any negotiations being
opened by lls king Of Prussia, and i,
might have been doubted thas any ever

If the king of Prussia is fortunate
enough to nnite the remains of his army

This indeed is more likely to be attended
with success than risking every ,hipg ia
pitched battle. The iaT1edia, sae1lRce
Of such course would Ire severe, but Il.
is the only enc hat will succeed. The
French seem 10 have unads conquest, but
it would be insecure. The Prussian d, :
mics apd gcneraIs would be formed by a
succession OF epgag &c eIts. and the French
woald be cut OF in detail In pitched
battles they appear to have slnr Advantage,
but protractsd war, aud an obstinate re-.
isistanee, as 10 the case Of Calabiia, ex,
poses them TO defeat and disgrace. Even
the Mobtsnegfins in Dalma.ia have cut eff
vast numbers of them, bu4 when j, CONES
10 regular engagements, they obtain the
advantage. If, however, the corps of The
dukes of WeiInar and brunswick Gals
were to- be defeated and that of priace Ho.
henlohe again routed, the means Of re-
sis,ance would be so diminished, that it
might be doubtful what osght to be done.
Hitherto the king of Prussia has displayed
grea. forsitude, and We are convinced tiSas
he will continue to do what can reasonably
be expected Of him. Ito
