PARTS, June IS.
The intercourse, by couricrs, with differ
ent Courts, and particularly with those of
Vienna and Petersburgb, is very frequent at
present; it is therefore concluded, with rea-
son. that wcighty matters are under discus
sion, the developement of which, is expect
ed with impotence. Various reports are
prevalent here, which have been received
from the Prnssian territory. According to
some accounts, that power will join the Ger
man Confederation, and place its contingent
along the whole coasts of the Baltic. Accor-
ding to others, the negotiations for uniting
Prussia 10 the German Confederation have
not succeeded.
