LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By an sr,ivai at Bsjqoa on H,ixsay isf. ia 81
day fran London, bringing pspos Jr0s that flass
10 tie SD IF Afsr.5.

Dutch Papers have arrived TO the fri int.
and we find fl ON them that the indica. ions OF
hoftiliiics between Auitria and France grow
itronger every dav While the war laugui0i-
es ia Spaa and 10 confined entirely to the
fege of Saragoila, troops are marching in
great hate to the Rhine, and the lcene OF ac.
tive Military movements has been transferred
on fudoen from Spain to Germany. Divif
ions that were on their march to the Pyren-
ees have been countermanded, and ordered to
proceed TO the Rhine. Martial Money, who
was employed before saragoi1a has been d.
retted to return 10 Paris and Gen. Oudinot
has received defamation towards Augiburgh.
AT the fame time the grea,eft activity is OBJ
ferved among the troops Of Bavaria, Baden,
Darmftad,, and Wirtemberg, and their contin-
gents are TO be ready TO march at an hours
notice. The Palace of s,rawburgh is prepar-
ing for Bonaparte, and there are reports even
Of his having arrived at Augsiburgh But
this we do not believe. He has demanded
however, a categorical anfwer from the Court
Of Vienna, with relpect to the Object of its ar
maments, aud has required as proof of its
pacific difpsGtion that its military force fhall
be reduced to 5000 men, requiftion which
is circular letter from the Prince of Nailau
Ufipgen to the States OF the Confederation,
in which, while he talks of warlike prepare
tions, he expreiles hope that war may be a.
voided. Bonaparte has ALTO, in calling upon
the States for their contingents, ltated that il
will depend upon Au!lria whether they will
be wanted or not. But he is convinced, we
are perfuaded, that war is inevitable; though
il is his ulual practise to affect to believe to
the lait moment thar III Power can have any
hottie intentions tow ards him -" Why are
they going to war with me p was his hypo.
critical cry before the lalt war with Aultria,
and the fubfequent confict with Pruilia.
What will be the conduct of Ruiiia for of
Pruiiia il were needless to ipeak, her military
force being 70 fmall as to be of little Weight
in any fcaie into which it may be THROWN
Bonaparte has informed US that he and the
Emperor Alexander are Intimately united
both for peace and for war. No Cabinet is 70
remarkable for fudden changes of policy as
the Cabinet Of Pe,eriburgh: but wa fee lit
tie reafon at prefen, for fuppofng that Bona
parte has Ioft his influence over il. Il will
not, however, be able to unite ITS whole force
to the French, for the peace between Great.
Britain and Turkey, which has led to rup-
ture of the negotiations between Turkey and
Ruilia, will employ large part of the RulIian
forces in Turkey, and the war with Sweden
will occupy another portion. RuiIia mum
keep, too. ftrong a,litary force on her coait
TO oppofe any attempts we may make. II

MARCH by the vefiel which brought
from Heligoland the German Papers from
which we yeiterday gave extracts, an officer
arrived with dispatches for Government. If
we may credit the reports in circulation, thefe
difpatches confirm, in fome degree, the ac-
counts we gave in our Ian, of Ruilia not being
difpoied to join in Napoeon's projected over
throw OF the Aultrian A.onarchy.-If we may
Judge from ,he price OF Stocks, this news le-
ceives fome credit in the city.--A war be-
tween France and Aaltr,a is now conlidered
as certain.
GstisLwgb Msa,.-seven Mails arrived
this morning, brought to Harwick by the
Auckland packet. BY this conveyance
Meiienger arrived with dispatches for Govern.
ment, which it is believed relate To the new
afpeet which the relations of Kutia and Auf-
tria have begun to ailiime iince the late inter-
view between their piuilian Majeities and the
Emperor Alexander.

cent date, the following is correct Return

$4,000 militia, trained to arms in peaceful
times, aud by the Auitrian infurreetion.
