LONDON, April *3.
THE lati letter b from Berlin, by the fail
ordinary mail, seemed to indicate that
public affaiis had takeu lather a more favor
able appearance; but we arc fmee enabled o
speak Irom the bed authority, accoidinx 10
more tecent and higher iufoiraation, that
holt.lilies between Austria and the King of
Pruflia uovv appear inevitable, as the twolm
penal Courts wilt rather choofc to nlk the
event of a campaign than fur render the im
portant pods of Belgrade and Ocxikow. Ac
the King ot Frudia goes frefh into the field,
with a large treasury of his own, and a pro
bable indemnification from the Turk** for h a
expeiKcs, it is not bkely lie will lelTen hi#
demands. A dcdaiatian may the. efure ihou
ly be expelled from the Coutt of (terliu, in
juftification of the King of Pruflia’a con duff
m this affair. The funds will hardly feel it#
effect- for we again repeat, that Gicat*Bri
taiu had no iharc in the dispute. and that no
Miuifter’s firft object is—the continuance of
peace to this country.
He lie, and all its dependencies, Branfwick,
Hanover, Anfpach, and Dtuxponts, will
openly cmbr«ce the fide of Piuffia ; but they
will be balanced by Wertemburg, M.inftrr,
the Electorate of Cologne, Wetzhourg, an I
other Imperial towns, who will declare m
favor of Leopold. They have already agreed
to iuruiih 1 5,000 auxiliaries, to defend the
province of Luxembourg for the Hoafr of
Austria. Accounts from Frankfort mention,
that the vaugu.itd of the army, Under the
Prince of Saxe-Cobo’rg, had been attacked
by the Turks neat Nagodiu, but the lattcC
were repuiled ; and that the Prince had con
tin ed his march towards Cladova, in order'
to attack it, and theieby ptevent the
from lending any fuccours to Orfowa.
Hia Majesty remains extremely averse to
the dissolution of Parliament at thi* moment >
the convulsed Rate of Europe is, perhaps, a
complete juftification of that opinion.
