I-tbwrrrr, for the present, notwithftanci tng our defencelefs rtate, our danger is not great. The enemy are very weak, having cnlv 25 or 30,00 0 men in their intrench mcnts behind the Qmecli. Strong detach ments of cavaliy and artillery have been sent to their army of the North and to the army employed in Vendee. The French cominilfioners having com pleted the object of the million have at length quitted Frankfort to return into their own country. BRUSSELS, March 25. The precipitate and nnexpedled depar ture of liis Royal Highness, the Arch duke, for Vienna, hasjuit put us into the lit mod surprize. A thousand contradic tory, even ridiculous leafons, have been affiled for it—but the cause believed to be simply this :■ That at tlie General Council, held at ith, where tl\e plans for the operations if the campaign, brought by the Count le Haddick, from Vienna, were fubmit ed to the General, one of the fettled >arts of the plan was, that Gen. Clairfayt hould command the advanced army over :he Duke of York. To this his Royal Highncfs politiveiy objected. A difcuf and two meetings were held, at which Prince Charles and Lord Elgin affilted, in In pes of fet'ling the affair, but with out f.iccefs. The D ike of York perse vered fn demanding to have the chiefcom mand of the army in Flanders, under the diredtion of the Prince de Cobourg.— The debates were extremely warm, and personal altercation rose, it is said, to a violent height, infomili-h that the Duke of York, in confecjue'ice of some words "between the Prince of Saxe Cobourg and himfclf, declared that the British troops '{hotild not at\, until he had taken the di r e£tion of his Court ; Lord Elgin, after a long conference with his Highnrfs at Courtny, set out fqr England. Prince Charles had appointed 9 o'clock in the morning of Friday last, for his depar ture, but it was retarded until midnight, or. account of his Chamberlain, the Count de Werterlaw not having returned from Valenciennes, whither he was lent on a fpeci'ii million to M. de Cobourg. We have an unfortunate piece of news here—lt is said that the King of Pruflla is determined to make a frparare peace tfith the French Republic, and that his troops are retiring into the Martjraviates of Anfpach and Bareuth. This iill e vent is confirmed by the letters received this morning from Frankfort. OSTEND, April 2. We exped fomeihing very extraordina ry within a few days.

We have authority upon which we can - rely, to afiert, in oppolition to all the Guillotine prints, that his Prufiian Majes ty will not withdraw his power from the general alliante ; but, on the contrary, that he will bring more troops into the field this campaign than he did the last.— [Dublin Journal.} LONDON, March 26. It may be depened upon as certain, that the King of P, our great, faithful, humane, and good ally, will give no more affiltance in the war against France. This country may even be thankful if that virtuous monarch avoids taking an active part in favor of French Republi cans. It is rumdured that Prussia is not the only power that has (hewn fymptoma of defe&ion from the grand alliance. Spain too, it is said begins to think, that its bed policy will be to take care of itfelt. March 29. By an exprtfs which left .Portsmouth lalt night we learn that Lord Howe had in the afternoon made the lignal for all Captains, and several Line of battle-fliips and frigates were immediately ordered for sea.

Captain Bennet dates, that of the troops embarked on the coast of Franee, is advanced as far as Choifey island, with in five leagues of Jersey ; and the scouts belonging to Jersey have seen a valt num ber of troops on Choifey Island; and have been fired at by them. A great number of flat-bottomed boats are also there,-and they are forming entrenchments and magazines upon the island, to retreat to in cafe Jersey Iliould hold out longer than- they expect. Capt. Bennet brought 50 women and x children of the principal families. Lord Elgin, si.ice his arrival 111 Lon don, has communicated a final determina tion of his Pi'ullian Majcfty, but we are given to understand his LordlhipL has been empowered to mfiiiuate, that the fu ture services of the King of Prussia may Jtill he obtained—oll certain conditions.

Mondy,in the floufe of Commons, Mr. Grey ,aid, 1 here was one quetion which had been particularly put by ibme honorable friends of lus, and which had not yet receiv ed any anfwei 1 from Ministers—ii was ref pedhng a rumour that prevailed every where for some days part, and was received with every appearance of a truth—He meant the plain-tjueftion, « Whether the king of Prus sia had, or had not, withdrawn from this confederacy of the powers allied aga nft France ? and thus left us engaged in I def truihve and expensive war, after taking M U h S Part of the im P°« which he was bound to give." He consi dered the whole of this as requiring from i s importance a speedy discussion ; in hopes, herefore, that it would s oon come before the house, he would not now detain them longer. —Mr. Pitt remained iilent.

The official ac counts received on Saturday, make this force amount to 20,0.0 men. There are 34 f a fl of thf line, and three French frigates lying in Cancale Bay, besides three more frigates cruizing off Chaufe. April 4. In the house of Commons on the firfl inft. the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, he was sorry the house was not fuller, but he mull now give notice of a fubjedl of Confiderible importance. It might in the cou'rfe of the next campaign become advifeible for his Majesty to avail himfelf on the continent of the afliftance of Frenchmen who are willing to be employed in his Majesty's service there, and that this was likely to be to a very con siderable extent; and he lhould move for leave to bring in a bill on Friday for that purpose. The French iteet, according to an account brought to Weymouth by the matter of an American vessel arrived froin Brest, has failed in three divisions ; the last division consisted of seven fail, and one frigate. This divilion steered an easterly courle on Friday last, when the master quitted it. Britijh Army in Flanders. St. Amand, April i.

On the morning of the 29th, a heavy can nonade was heard from the Cambray quarter, which proved to be the Carmag nols attacking the the village of le Ceteau. At firlt they were fuccefsful from their great number, which is reported to have been above twenty thousand, and cart ied two batteries; but the Auftrians aflemb ling a con fiderable force of cavalry before they could well form their line, attacked them with such impetuosity, that they were put into confufion, and driven off w it'n the loss of five pieces of cannon, five hundred killed, and about one hun dred taken prisoners.

There was a smart press yesterday on the river forfeamen : and, in many of the avenues to the town, several hundred were picked up, and put on board the receiving ihip at the Tower. I he alarm beacons, and long flag ftaffs, now erecting 011 the SufTex and Wsftern coasts, are on a similar plan with those, which were established round the whole coast of France immediately on the com mencement of hostilities, between the two countries. 1 he Hefiian troops as well cavalry as infantry, lately stationed on the Isle of Wight, are all reimbarked on board the transports, and are to proceed without de lay to Oftend.

LONDONDERRY, April 8. In this day's paper we have impartially collected evefy article relative to the alledged extraordinary conduct of the King of Pruf lia, and the following seems to be the fub itance ; Ihe miniflerial prints confidently aflert, that his majeily will take the field this campaign with a greater force than he did lalt year ; and insinuate, thot it would be prudent to give him his demand, two mil lions of money, rather than lose his alliftance On the other hand, all the other papers concur in stating that a negociation is cer tain yon foot between the Pruflian monarch and the Trench Republic, and that his maief ty will either retire from the war a ltogether as a principal, or he will hire 30,000 of his troops, at 301. a head to England ! A short time will ftiew which of those opinions is the true one. In the mean time, the campaign has not yet seriously commenced—before this day last year, much human blood was flied.
