On Friday Lord Grenville moTed the

The Hamburgh mail arrived last night,
and has brought iiiteiiiger.ee of a molt
important nature, which the steps adopted
by this country have occcafioned.
Change it the Cattail of Bei lin.
Count Haugwitz, who lias been the
fatil auvtfer of tiioie meafnres which
h-vc produced and threatened (till greater
mtfehief to this country, has retire and
from an outwhich he had neither the
talents nor integrity neccffary to render
efficient for the public good, and has
left Count Keller 1:1 the full admitiiftra
tion of affairs. The circumllanccs which
produced this event, are stated to have
proceeded from the King's requell to
the latter minilier, to luggift the means
moll likely to bring about a reconcilia
tion between the courts cf Berlin and
London. The fbft itep taken, has been,
to produce orders to the Prussian ports
in the Baltic, not to obittuct the en
trance or departuie of any Bmilh Ihips,
on the contrary, to treat them in a friendly
manner. Other measures were in con
templation to forward the renewal of a
good underlfatiuing between the two
countries.
Will Prulfir ft ill maintain that it oc
cupies Hanover as a rightful p. iLfuon ?
Will Napoleon luffer Frederick William
to open his parts to Britilh commerce ?
rheie arc que.l.oua'vv..:cb a little time
will lolve.
It is poluble this change may lead to
the trc.rng ever {jr:: drpGmrr : c

f-ime n-grciatton for r •-'ecmtmocitsng
the differences between ti.e two coun

the public should not be f.afty to ea
coura,ie a ‘nope, in which they niay
be dtfappointed.
Another important piece of intelli
gence is stated in letters from Vienna, cf
the 6‘.h inflect. According to these,
“ the difTticnees relative to the mouths
of the Cattaro, have been amicably ac
commodated. The representations made
at fit. Pete:fb'jrgh, have produced the
effeft wished for by Austria, and the
Ruffian troops are making difpofitior.3 to
evacuate the Cattaro.” We know dot
what degree of credit is due to this
ftatt ment.
It is reported, that fucb is the under
standing between Prance and Auflria,
that an efftnfive and defealive alliance io
about to be, concluded, and Auflrta is
bound sftively to defend Bonaparte’s late
changes. Tide may he doubted.
Ti e difeuffions last nigh.t in thelloufe
of Commons are highly interfiling to
the nations at large. The Chjnccllor
of the Exchequer, ia introducing his
promised motion refpecling the pub
lic accounts in the Weft lotues, entered,
very unexpe£tcd!y, into a loag and
very important detail of tha meafurcs
in contemplation for the better ntactgs
mrnt of lire public acconn s in general.
From It's lordfltip’s ilatemcnte it appear
ed, that very little had bttn dote
towards exam ning the pub'.i: accounts
since th; American war. The amount of
the accounts now examined was four

to the amount of the national debt 1
I..betid of five commissioners, ten are
about to be appointed. These corn*
rriflLners are to be devided into three
diftiuCt boards, with the power, however,
o coir municating with each other. One
of th le boards is to keep up the ac
counts now under examination ; the
second board to examine the long arrears
of the navy ; and the third is to be en
trusted with the remaining accounts,
commencing from December Lft. The

A ciifculiion c-f considerable interest

th; improvement of cur military lyitem,
as it was originally submitted to the
House by the ‘Secretary for the war
department, is not to abandoned. Thofs
parts of the plan which relate to the
limited fervicc, and t’n; organisation of
the Lve en mujfe, ere, we believe, to be
tiri&ly attended tc—the regulations for
the vo’.u teer force arc likely to receive
fome modification. The Annual Mutiny
Bill, in which it is intended to include
the firft part of the plan, was brought in
and read a firft time to day. The second
reading will take place to morrow, and
on Friday fe’mght the bill will be con

of these important alterations in the
