Princes are successively breaking off their connexions with the Cabinet of' London, and that soon there will he no British Ambassadors ac- credited at any Court in 'Germany, 'ercept at the Courts of Vkfinrt and Berlin. These concluding ex- pressions, whilst they pomt oui: the despot whu has produced this effect, prove, the stttte of imbecility 'and dependence to which he has reduced the petty German Princes. He can oomrmuid them. and they are therefore afraid to suiter a British Minister to reside at their Courts. He cannot command the Prussian or Austrian Governments, and our Am- bassadors are received by them 'with'the distinction j tiue to the representatives of so great a country. A report has been circulated "among the Dutdl: that Russia is determined to remain neutral. Yet Russia is charged with having occasioned the de-. parture of Gen.

His Prussian Majesty, it is positively asserted, has assured the magistrates of Lubec pf-his protection in .'resisting the., demand ofa loan recently made upon that city by France. A lttter very au- thentic quarter, dated the 23d ult. is strongly cor- roborative of this fict, <ts well as of the accounts al- ready published, respecting the dHScnptiun of per- sons who committed the late -uutragc on Mr. Wag- staft", the messenger. The letter to which we allude says.:— -1 The French have demanded from T,ubec a loan of '2QO,QOO ri.v-dollars; bur us it appears from the liberation of Sir George Huinbcid, that the King Of Prussia. will exert' his mnueiice in favour of the circle of L^wer Sa.xony, the city has been embol- dened to refuse it. The persons who fobbed the English courier, Mr. Wagstaffr are well known the principal, wax the Commandant at Ratzebifrgh." There were bte^ sides, rrit(i five. counnun soldiers. An article from Milan of the 4th, says, that "-As soon as his Holiness the Pope has left Italy, a de- claration, it is said, will be'published relative to the. kingdoms 'of the two Sicilies and Et.ru ria, as aiso the Ecclesiastical State, signifying, that in the pre- Sent circumsfances of Europe, the same neutrality as heretofore cannot be permitted. The English at, Leghorn and Naples, are already making prepa- rations in cunsequeuie." An article from Vienna states, that the- King of Naples ha.s ordered a recruiting of every 80th man ia his kingdom capable of bearing arms but whe- ther tor the purpose of t'esistmg the invaders of his kingdom, brtbr aiding the projects of theCorsican, is. not vet known, though the circumstance of the active Cardinal Rudo's recall induces, a hope, that the prospect of Russian aid may induce his Si- cittati M<<je:-ity to make a. spirited effort to recover the independence of his kingdom. M.

L<. ;hoi i is still a prey to the contagious distem- per, a.ud a cordon of troops has been drawn round .t city. Intelligence has been received, from the channel fleet respecting the, French fleet in Brest harbour, inct that part of the arrtiv ot Englahd quartered in ahd near. that place, which, if correct, is of consi- derable import u-ice. One of .our at sta- tioii spoke on the 30th inst.the jpruSsian ship Die Twee Geischweisters, C iptaiu Tauberg, which had saiiej the pr€ce iiog day from L'Orient for Leg- horn. The Captain reported, that he had been in Br*:st a.bout ten-days^x*fore-he put to sea, and; that it was understood- General Augereau, ,whose arri-, vai there we have-already no ticeajhad- brought wich ■him new instructions tor Admiral Gantheaume. h,is stay at Brest, 1 limSelfhad'vvitnessed the embarkation of two- divisions -of troops, coii- s'isiing of t<),o0() tnei a r ti^OOO more-had been previously emoarked. It WHS. not conceiiled that vey were to be commanded,by AQgereau in'person, who hid under him Generals"Pes Jardin, Dormer, and Doazelol.

The wea- ther having become moderate yesterday morn- tug, she was hauled oft from her perilous situation, and brought into Yarmouth Roads. During her 9 I, danger, the greatest anxiety prevailed on shore for the saiety of the men, as, from the shallowness of the beach she would probably have gone to pieces before any assistance could have been rendered them Several boats were, however, taken down to the beach, in readiness to go off in case she had unfortunately struck. Hopes are entertained, that the Admiral Magon, French privateer, will be also got off', as the damage she received appears to be but trifling. SATri:n.vv, Dec. 1. French papers to the 93d ult. arrived last night. One of them states, on the authority of a. letter trom Cadiz, that as soflu as the Governor of that «ity received advice of the attack of the English on the Spanish frigates, he laid an embargo on all the English ships in. the harbour, among the num- ber of which was a frigate, and that ah order to the same effect was immediately dispatched to all, the other ports of Spain. The letters received direct from Spain, state, that the merchants in Cadiz had but just learned, at the date of the above letters, the differences that subsisted between the two countries; but they express their hopes that the business will be mu- tually settled. They further add, that they were certain the Court of Madrid would fully, concede to every thing required by our Government sooner than enter into a. war, afflicted as Spain is with pestilence and famine. At this time, however, it must be recollected, that they were ignorant of the capture of the Spanish Irigatcs. That an em- bargo, as the Paris papers state, may have, been laid upon our ships is very probable-but there was no British frigate in the Spanish ports, and but a very trifling number of merchantmen. ri Mf With respect to the assertions in the letters that Spain would fully concede to every thing required by our Government, it should be recollected, that Spain, must act as Bonaparte pleases, and that her instructions or her interests will not be consulted. The Hamburgh mail due on Sunday last was re- ceived this day. It has brought a. copy of the note presented by Mr. Jackson to the Court of in consequence of the seizure gi* Sir George Rumbold; from the terms. of which it appears, that previous to that outrage, the King of Prussia had declared his determination to protect the in- dependence and neutrality of the North of Ger- many, and particularly of the Iianseatic Towns". 1 The intervention, therefore, of his Prussian Ma- S. jesty, in the, case of Sir George llumbQld, was not caused merely by the indignation he nust feel at the cojnniission of so atrocious an outrage, but seems to have been the result of a. deteruifnation, previously formpd, to opptlse some barrier to the intolerable.iuspiehcc and rapacity of the French Government. The King of Sweden addressed the States of Po- m'erania in person, on the 8th uit. at Stralsund and the latter have voted the necessary supplies to maintain their own independence, and to defend their, country against the curse of French pro- tection The British Embassy, whosg expected arrival at Ratisbon was lately talked of, will not now proceed thither; the: principal States of the Empire having declared that the Diet at Ratisboll has no. relations with England, having no affairs to transact with that country, A letter from Vienna, states, that the Emperor and King is going t6 assemble in Hungary a large body of troops, to be in readiness to act immedi- ately on the death of the Grand Seguior, whose health is in a precarious state, incase'a neighbour- ing |>ower should attempt to execute the pian lonw* since meditated, of driving the Turks out of Europe* It is understood that if a rupture should take place between France and Russia, the Court of Vi*' enna is resolved to form an.army of observation on the frontiers. • M The Austrian Government of Tyrol is making preparations to draw a cordon between that coun- try and Italy. -a^ The discontent tn- Holland is so great, at the interdiction of British' ,g0o.ds, and the abominable measures that have been taken to pr'event their in- troduction, that the French have found it conve- nient to march an additional number of troops" to every part of the sea-coast. The great commercial house of Benzi and sou, of Genoa, has stopped payment. It has failed for a very large sum, as it was one of the greatest bank", ing-hbuses in Italy. Ijetteïswere yesterday received from Cadiz, by way of Holland, dated the 26th of October, which is a week later than those received by the last Lisbon mail. By these we learn, that the iever had so far subsided in that city, that on the 25th of October, the number of deaths had decreased to 31, which included those who died in the hospi- tals. The rains and cold season had just set in, and-the most sanguine hopes were entertained, that a few days of such weather would restore.per- fect health. the order issued by Government, prohibiting the admission of vessels, except those laden with grain, had been revoked, and vessels of every description were admitted as usual. By these, letters we also learn, that the fever at Malaga had completely subsided; and that the in- habitants who had fled from that city were daily, returning to their homes, and resuming their occu- pation. A letter from an officer on board the Superb, off Toulon, lately received, says, We are now fit- ting up a state-room in an elegant manner, pre- sumed for the purpose of taking home our gallant Admiral, Lord iNelsott 5 but prcvi-ous to his sailing tor England, his Lordship tutends paying his re- | spects to the'Kiiig of Naples. Another letter, of a more recent date, also from an officer on board the, same ship, dated off .Na- ples, to a gentleman in this country, mentions that his Lordship, on his arrival there, was received X 11 ivith the highest honours; but that he expected to pas^ his Vhristmafi in s>ld.England,' Admiral Cornsvallis ha«:irfisunjed hjis station off Brest, which b:e held during -^he.r.^h(4'e of the", late ;.strong easterly winds. -a/; We are sorry to tliat the Diamond, James, froiu Aberdeen, and four othe have been taken off Tynemouth by. the General:Bryne privateer, and; cirfie'd ilito Vile. •' Lady 1 rig'gft,. wha)(ately came to England from .GibraTtar .In theponca;ster transport, which has bcea performing qua-rantine ia sUude;ate Creek, arrived yesteidav at h.er house in Siville-row, in perfect health, Sir (whose zeal for the public service, in remaining firtnat his post, in despite of all personal danger, and all pnvate considerations, during'the malady, is above all praise) w,ill, we trust, be speedily restored to his' country and his friends, as the last' accounts from the Rock were of a very favourable nyture. The sta,tement of oOruaval force, made up to this day, is highly grat'fymg. We have now in commission 685 ships °f war, 104 of which are of the ,iiiie beside 270 in ordinary, repairing, build- ing, &c. which form a grand total of 905. MONDAY, DEC. 3. Some letters from Spain received by the Ham- burgh mail which arrived op Saturday evening, state, that the French Charge d'Affaires at Madrid had presented a violent note upon the subject of the detention of the Spanish ships. That increased activity had in consequence taken place in the naval and military departments, and that an em- bargo upon British ships Was expected to take place immediately. It will be of little consequence to us whether an embargo be laid or not, for there are scarcely any British ships in the Spanish ports. Admiral Gravina is to.-be recalled from Paris to take the command of the Spanish fleet. A Swede which left the Texel on the 23d ult. has brought intelligence to our squadron, that 50,000 French are now advancing into Holland, supposed with orders to march and take possession of Ham- burgh and Swedish Pomerani.s. A letter from one of the ofiicers on board our squadron off the Texel, states that the officers. and crew of the Romney were sent on the (weh ult. in a French privateer to Amsterdam. The Hon. Capt. Colville has sent a letter by a Dutch schuyt, say- iug,that H^ith^ theoiSeers nbr meii?saved a single article of property but, the. clothes on their backs, A. letter from a naval omcer at Barbaddes, to a friend in Truro, dated the 2,4th August, says," the Galatea's boatsm.ade an attempt a few nights since to cut out the Lilly sloop of war from the Saintes, a very strong place; but she was prepared to meet them and the attempt failed of success. One of our boats was sunk. Four officers and 29 men were killed or drowned, and 12 wounded. A second representation: of the robbery of the English courier, with the necessary changes, has a pi, taken place in the North of Germany. The post- boy travelling with the mail to Gottingeu, was stopped on the 10th ult. by a disguised banditti, and was not suffered to depart, until the letters which he carried had been examined. Parliament will certainly meet on the 15th of Ja- nuary; but we understand that after voting the customary address of thanks to the King for his speech from the Throne, both Houses will adjourn to the 22d of the same month. Saturday's Gazette contains an account that three barns in the occupation of Mr. James Bing- ham, sen, near the Marshes, in Essex, had been consumed by fire, together with most of the corn they contained, on the 23d ult. and ofters a re- ward of 100 guineas for the discovery ofiiiy*of ttie incendiaries, except the principal. It also contains his Majesty's promise of pardon to any of the offen- ders, except such principal, who shall give such in- formation that .the other parties may be prosecuted to conviction. Some say that the produce of 96 acres of com W3,s eoasuwed by these nefarious ruffians. Tt'ESDAV, T)ec. 4, Ilis Majesty has been pleased, by his Royal Let- ters Patent under the Great Seal of Ireland, to translate the Right Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Alexander, Bishop of Killpioe andrKilsenora, to the united Bi- shopncks o-f Down and Connor, vacant by the death of the Right Rev.

It is the last; perhaps, we shall receive for some time; on account of the setting in of the frost. The interference of Prussia in behalf of Sir George Rumbold has diffused considerable joy in the north of Germany. They think that, some se-' curity may be hoped for, if Prussia undertakes their protection. It is said that General Brune, the French Am- bassador, had deferred his departure from Con- stantinople. This must surely be erroneous, for- mer accounts, which obtained credit, having; hot only stated his leaving the Turkish capital, but also his arrival at Vienna. The Pope left Rome on the 31st of October, fol- lowed for a considerable distance-from the city by a prodigious concourse of people, expressing their apprehensions, and -puttmg up prayers for his safety. He arrived at Florence on the 5th .of .last month, where he was to remain one :da.y to be- stow his benediction upon the people. In consequence of the recent arrangements in India, the following officers have been allowed to retire on the oft-reCkoiiing fuhd j' viz^ ;■ v Bengal :,jMajor-Gpn<irals C. Morgan, W. Jones, J.

Last night Master Betty appeared the second time in the character of Achmetj and, if possible, with increased effect. The audience was exceed- ingly numerous and select, and from the excellent regulations, which had been adopted, all the contu- sion which took place on Saturday was avoided.- See ogr 4 t h The Young Roscius-was introduced to the Prince of Wales, yesterday1 afternoon about two o'clock, at Carleton-IIou^e, by Mr. Sheridan.

The issue of this marriage extended to ftine beaufiftil children; eight of them were boys. For a long succession of years, thi s ettriy partiality seemed to beConfarmed aiid strengthened. Such WHS the joyful sit nation-of these parents, until a short, lime before they, met the present defendant at a ball at .Huntingdon, in the'neighbourhood of wliich town the, family resided. He saw, and admired the lady She a,lso saw, lelt, and admired, and from that time the felicity, ol her husband was tor ever destroyed. The ptaintin'immcdiately perceived, a. sudden change tn her manners; OIl every little domestic dispute, she threatened to leave, her husband, and the fond circle in which she had appeared;, and future events, could only cxpiainto the afflicted busbaodthis grievous revolution.

It so happened that t.h<j incUspositionof this officer did not ad- mit oHiis remaining ii> that humid climate, he therefore un- expectedly returned to his house at Hartford, near Hunting- don, where his wii'c then was. ^he appeared, on his' arrival, extremely agitated,and next morning left the place, aban- doning au .infant, ot only seyen jnonth? old, wholly un- protected.

She thought Captain Caul- field was then a lodger with her. From thence she moved to Prince's-street, Hanover-square; titence to Fuiham afterwards to Mint Farm, near Reigate and agaift to Bat- tersea; and in all these situations the -defendant attended her, and seemed to continue a lodger, and an acquaintance in her family, and no illicit intercourse was detected. Afterwards they went to Chertsey, and there likewise they had two separate beds and apartments; but from her çx- perience in her office, of chamber-maid, what, from their previous conduct, and the proximity of the rooms,, ?!ie strongly suspected that both beds were regularly disorder- ed and from more minute circumstances, whieh it is nei- tiler delicate núr necessary to explain, she had no-doubt- that the defendant had criminal intercourse with iier mis- tress(. ■ Mr; DaHa-i, for the defendant, admitted that if the case' ■were proved, no ■dvtinag.es.conldabc too serious, ajid iiec contpoMtttion could be -adequate to the inj.ury suffered by the plaintiff.. flowever, the claim of Mr. Cha-nibers, in a Court of Law, must depend iipbir the merit of his pre-. teuMuhs. lie. would produce to the jury a series of letters hewouhfprmiucea deed.'siincttoned'by ajtthe formali- ties of the law, wbickvwould exjtose a system, of brutaiity ín the conduct of the plaintiff; after which be could be entilled to no damages^ and it would equalhr excite the es3 aq It %"?! astonishment and the compassion of the Court, or perhaps • sttizit-Ile should have presumed to claim of the justice of his eonntrv, what virtue-and hiinianify aloiie bave a light to require.

In thfe third letter, w.hwrh is dated four days'posterior, heheseeches her to be reconciied to him, if not: Oh bis account, atlelLStfrolll her attachment to her children; from her respect for her own dignity and frbin every motive of policy: and expe- dience.

He took a view oftheletters which had been written by the plaintijf to his wife, and had been read in evidence, and observed nponthem in general, that they appeared to be written by a man who was in the habit of committing faults, and expressing contrition as it were al- ternafcty. for he. was perpetually throwing the whole blame, iipon himself and none on his wife. If by bis own miscon- dnct tlw plaintiff had stripped his wife of the best guardian of her honour, her aiiectioii for bim, he.ought to suiter for the lositof her affection up, to the extent to which he was in fault; but that was not to be converted litto a, license for ithe defendant to pay to her his adulterous. addresses, and to render the reconciliation of the husband and y4feimpos- ■sible.

The Moniteur states that the papers contained in three trunks found-at Sir George Rumbold's house, are undergoing an examination, and they will be comnmnica-ted, with the correspondence of Sir George's two agents, now in the Temple, in the ori- ginal, to all the Cabinets on the continent. They will fully make known, (adds the Moniteur) what England expects from her Ministers, and wil!:afford a.complete developement of Lord Hakesbury's ce- Icbra.tedcircular letter.

The answer of his Prussian Majesty has been communicated to the Diet of Ratisbon by the Count Gocrtx, the Prussian Minister. The'Diet, of course, must approve highly of the spirited, in-, terference ol Prussia, but if dares not,"at present, manifest -^t;s displeasure at the-conduct of Bc- uaparte.

Thisextraordinary occnrrence, the first of its sort dfiriiig the pfesent reign, has caused many rumours, and more speculations, particularly on account of the frequent conferences, at tlie-same time, of. the Russian and English Ministers with our Minister of State, Baron iiardenberg, and the unusual activity, which every one must observe in our military,departments. Some pretend that our Cabinet,haS: discovered some secret, agreements between-Austria, and France, iuYading or anuihi- latiug ■ all those subsisting between" France and Prussia;: others say, that though Bonaparte, upon the rejifesentation of our Ambassador, at Paris, released Sir GeOrge Itumbohl, he at the same time held insolent and threatening language, which neither the dignity nor the power of our Sovereign can endure without degradation, and therefore must: resent. Besides, from the-knowncharacter of. the' usurper, it is hp" longer a secret, that, against those Princes ot States, He pronounces insults, he meditates attacks, and acts of oppres- sion.
