Two very important reports have got in
to circulation. 1t was confidently stated on
Saturday, tina, the king of Prussia has de-
clared war against France and it was at
the same time asserted, that another battle
had been fought on the left bank of the Da
nude, in which Bonaparte had proved sue
cessful. The former of these reports obtain
ed considerable credit in the city, and let
tiers containing what was stated to be the
substance of his Prussian majesty decla-
ration of war, were shewn. TWAS observed,
however, that differences SO material ap
peared in thse descriptions of the pretend
ed Prussian manifestos, that no reliance
could be placed on the accuracy of any OF
them. The arrival of the young prince Of
Orange in this country, has tended we be-
lieve to spread an opinion that the king of
Prussia has resolved to take part IN the war
against FIance. and it is said that he hasbeen
determined to take this course in conse-.
quence OF Bonaparse having expressed him
self dissatisfied with ailthe explanations that.
have been offered by the cabinet Of Konings-
berg, respecting the onduct Of Schill.-
Ihe rumor, however, must be accompanied
by better evidence thar any that has yet
been adduced in its support, before the
doubts which it is calculated to excite can
be removed 1.-THE king of Prussia has de-
termined to go to war, it is probably III con-
sequence of a conviction that Bonaparte has
resolved to strip him of the small remains
OF power he has still left. It must be a last
effort of despair. With regard to the latter
report. 1t is certainly not improbable that a
battle has taken place on the danube ; but
the authority for that act is net better than
that for the Prussian declaration of war
The rumor is stated from letters in Holland,
and is said be cosroborated by a gentle
man who arrived on Friday at Harwieh, IN
a Neutral vessel from the continent.
Col. Washington Morton, a gentleman or

We understand that government is maxi
ing vigorous preparations TO equip another
