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. May 6.
