Brother —lt is more than a month fincc Prussia has been arming, and it is well known by all the world that (he arms against France and the confederacy of the Rhine. It ia in vain that wc feck for the motives—we can not find them. The letters written to us by his Prufiian Majcfty are friendly ; his Minister for Foreign Affairs has notified to our Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, that he acknowledged the confederacy of ihe Rhine, and that he had nothing to objert against the arrangements made in the South of Germany, Are the armaments of Prufllt the result of a coalition with Rulfia, or only the intrigues of the different parties in Berlin, and of the inconsiderateness of the cabinet ? It is their objed to force Hesse, Saxony, k the Hanfc Towns to contrart engagements which the two latter pewers do not seem willing to en ter into ? Would Prussia endeavour to make us dc fift from the declaration we have made, that the Hanfc towns shall not enter into any pri vate confederacy i a declaration which is founded on the intcreft of the commerce, both of France and the South of Germany ; and upon this also, that England has given us to understand that any change In the pre lent situation of the Hanfc Towns would but add more difficulties to a general pace. We have likewise declared that tic Prin ces of the Germanic Empire, who Were not comprifcd in the confederacy of the Rhine, ought to be at liberty to confnlt nothing but their intcreft and their convenience ; \hat they ought to confider themfelvcs as perfect ly free ; that we would not do apy thing to make them enter the confederacy of the Rhine, but that wc would not fuffer any one whatever to force them to do *ny thing against their plcaforc, their policy, and the incertfts of their fubjerts. Could a declaration that is so just, have offended the cabinet of Berlin, and would Prussia oblige us rctrart f Among aft these motives, which is the real one? Wit can not guess; and the events alone will be able to reveal to us the fccrct of a coriflurt as ftrangc as it was unexpected. We buf fered a whole month to pass over without paying any attention to thole preparation. Our forbearance did but encourage the bun. S le rs who wish to precipitate the court of Berlin into the molt inconiidcratc contest. However, the armaments of Prussia have brought about the case that was forefeen by one of the articles of the Ucaty of the 12th of July, and we think it necessary that all the Sovereigns that compose the con federacy of the Rhine (hould arm to defend their own intcreft, to protect their territo ry, and maintain the inviolability thereof. Inftcad of 20©,o«o men that France is obliged to furnilh, Ihewill furnilh 300,000, and wc have just ordered that the troops neccffiry to complete this number be trans ported, by to the Lower Rhixc j the troops of your Majcfty having always re mained on a war looting, wc invite your majcfty to order that they mty, without delay, be ready to march with all their campaign-cquipages, and to concur in the defence of the common cause, the fucccfs of which, we date expert, (ball corrcfpond with its jufticc—if however, against our withes as well as our expectations, Prussia do not oblige hs to repel forue by force. Upon this we pray the Omnipotent that he may keep you. Brother, in bis holy and facrcd protection. (Signed) NAPOLEON, Given at St, ClouJe , Sept. 12, ISO 6. Wc have this moment received private letters from our Hamburg corfefpondent, by which wc are informed that the King of Prussia has lent xway from Berlin every thing which la most precioas in that city, . even the trcafurei of the churches, and that it is said, in order to apply himfclf with more tranquility to the operations of the war. September 27. Lord Lauderdale’s indisposition having obliged him to pass forae days in the Coun try, Gen. Junot, Gov. of Paris, has made an offer of his feat to his Lordship. October j. General Knobelfdorf, the Prussian envoy extraordinary at our court, has suddenly left this city yesterday morning, and battened towards Mayence, in order to have an in. terview with the French emperor on either bank of the Rhine, and to lay before him the latest dispatches which he received from his court. LONDON, September 3*. Capt. Whitby of the Lcander, has re turned (ram the American station, under ar rest, in that (hip 5 and a court martial is im mediately ordered upon him, for tiring upon the American veffcl, which made so much noise. By these means, the truth of those proceedings, which have given so much unaafinefs to both countries, will be indubi tably determined. The Moniteur dates the departure of Bonaparte, in the following brief para graph! : Paris, September 26. “ Their Imperial and Royal Majesties set out from St. Cloud, in the night between Wcdnefday and Thursday. The Emperor, it is supposed, proceeds towards Mayance ” It was understood at Paris, that Tal leyrand left that city on Friday, to fol low his matter ; at ieaft it was not doubted that he would soon join him, and it is equally certain that Bonaparte is gone to put himfclf at the head of the army. From the whdle tenor of the intelligence contained by these papers, war between France and Pruflia appears inevitable. It is impoflible to contemplate the approaching struggle, without the liveliest apprehension. The French troops in Germany, probably a mount to 120,000 men, confiding of eight separate corps, amounting to about i5,*00 each. This army may be brought to bear upon Pruflia, before the latter can receive any aid from Ruflia. The Prussian troops, however, on the frontiers of Saxony, where the full blow would probably be (trade, are estimated at 100,000 men, and the Hcflian and Saxon auxiliaries at 50,000 men. The Moniteur contains articles from CafTd of the 13th, and Dresden of the nth, accusing Prullia of an attempt to usurp over Hesse and Saxony, a sovereignty more overbearing than was ever claimed or exercised by the Emperor of Germany, as head of the Ger manic' Body, The Paris editors, perhaps, expeff that the intrigues of Bonaparte will be able to detach thelc Powers from Pruflia, as Bavaria was, in the late war, detached from Austria, but there ts no danger of any such defedion. The Prussian troops have, in fad, taken pofleffion of Saxony. The whole of the Saxon array, on foot, has joined them. The Hcflian troops to the number of 25,000 men, havclikewife joined the Pruflians. October x. It was imported yesterday that the Earl of Lauderdale had applied for his paflport*, with intent to leave Paris ; but that they were refufed by the French government. It appears, indeed, strange, that his Lord ship (hould voluntarily remain in that city after Bonaparte and Talleyrand had left it. The Hamburgh mail due on Sunday, ar rived this morning with letters and papers to the 24th ult. France and Pruflia appear to have exhausted negotiation, and their differences will now be decided by the sword. The Courier so long expeded at Berlin, with tliu answer of the French go. vernment to the propositions with which j Mr. Knobelfdorf was sent to Paris, return, ed to Berlin on the 17th. It appears that Benaparte has demanded the ceflion of the whole of Weftphaiia, as well as the country of Marck. It was this extravagant demand which extorted from the King of Pruflia the declaration so often repeated in the German papers, that he would not consent to any more cessions. It is evident that Bonaparte would not recede, and that the answer ttanfmitted by Koebelfdorf has been un. favourable. Immediately after the arrival of the courier at Berlin, all was warlike buttle and adivity in that city. Lieut. Colonel Krufemark set out immediately for St, Peterlburgh. The guards set out at the fame time and his Majesty, accompa nied by his life guards, was to set out pofi. tively the next day. A courier also arrived on the 10th at Berlin, with an account, that the Prussian minister Lucchefini, had left Paris, and might lie expeded at Berlin in four or five days. The French minifttr, however, remained at Berlin, and the con ferences between him and Haugwitz (till continued. But as Haugwitz was to join his matter at Headquarters on the 2ad, the French Ambassador would probably soon take his departure. Bonaparte appears to have forefeen this ifiue, and provided ac cordingly. The French troops m Germany have been concentrating thcmfelves for (ome time; and, on the 13th, the army of Marlhal Bcrnadotte received orders to dis. embarrass itfelf of all men unfit for adivc fervicc, and to be in readiness to march on the 15th—For fcveral days previous to the 16th, the French troops on the Rhine and th* Maine were all in motion. In the night between the 14th and 15th a confiderablc park of artillery passed through Frankfort, and on the i4ih, the firfl; battalion of the 24A Regiment of the lire left that city Another corps of 12,000 was to proceed in a few days to Ments ; preparations were making for the reception of Bonaparte i n that city, Pruflia, however, may relr upon powerful affiftancc.

This duel, which took place on Sunday morning betvrccn General Baron Hompefcb, and P.icharcfon, efq. a gentleman rc -1 Tiding near Cclchcfter, was mentioned in our paper of yefierday. It appears that ic was on Friday, about two o’clock, that the cahfe of this unfortunate affair originated in a rccontrc near Temple-Bar. Mr, Richard-" son had a lady on each arm, when he was met by the General, who unintentionally r?.n against them, being very sear sighted ; and accidently knocked cffihe hatol Mr. Rich ardson, who instantly knocked him down. On General Hompefch’s regaining his legs, he requefied Mr. Richardlon, ro retire with him, loan adjoining coffce-houfc, which be ing agreed to, the parties went to George’s coffee-hoofe in the Strand, where they ex changed cards. On Saturday Baron Hom pcfch sent coGeorgc’s coffcc.houfe, to enquire concerning the rclpcffability of Mr. Rich ardson who appeared to be known there. Or; being fatisfied on that point, it is supposed that General Horapefch sent a challenge to Richardfon, with an appointment to meet him at fix o’clock the rex: morning, on Elackbeath. On Saturday evening LzJy filter to the General, it is understood, lodg ed an information at the Public Office, Bo«'- flreet, as did also feme of Mr. Rich and Ton’s friends. The officers upon this occalien, as well as upon every other, were vigilant and attentive to their duty.
