A Russian squadron of 400lroops had ar rived at Portsmouth. ' Paris papers of the 7th October mention, s that Buonsparte was on hit way from Mentc ' to Wurtzburg, where tbt French army was to have been united on the 4th. Litters from different parts of the continent report that a second action had been- fought on the 26tH Aug. in Calabria, and that the , British had defeated the French. ' The Prussian head-quarters coiitinnrd at Naucnburg on' tho STlh September but it ' was expected they would be advtnced to Iloff, in the principality of Bayreuth, before the end of the month. Fhs preparations of France are stated to be upon the most enor mous scale i and that all the dUpoiable force from Boulogne to the.lnn, is brought to besr on the Saxon frontier 'Austria, if not' prepa ring for actual hostility) it, st least,- taking every prrcaotion td cause her territory to be respected. She ha' assembled a very large army in Bohemia, between Tabor Se Prague. Buonaparte will therefore wraken his army, by sending part of it la watch the Austrian. If the French troops are confident of success, the Prussians sre no less so ; and at no peri od has the spirit of the people, and the army been more exalted than it is now. A large body of Austrian csvalry has established "tl stir on the frontiers of Bohemia. The change efpo.iiiori l,y Souk's corps fi-om Pasiau snd Ingolttad, is, perhaps, to be attributed to this movement. It was expected that Buonaparte would commence hostilities ori the 7tb of Oc tober that being the day thst he attacksd tbe Auttrians the last year with so much success. , The Times" of the 10th ssys TUu- tit vcrsar satisfaction which bas appeared s tnong all ranks of people, tn the official com munication cf lord Lauderdale's immediate . return from Paris, h a proof of the. central confidence in the resources of the country, ss , well as the wWe snd effectual administration of them.

A Ca binet Council .had beeh summoned at Vis count Ilowick's ofTice,' In expectation of his Lordship's arrival,' which' he attended. "A bout four, his Lordship arrived,-at his house in Queen-street, May Fair, "where he remain ed about half an hour, and then set out for Holland House, where he slept last night. His Lordship left' Paris on Thurulay sfter noon, and alept that night st Chsndly.. It is to be observed, that . the Noble Lord asked for naasports st the time that the Emperor act out for the army, and from that moment all negotiation ceased, l'sssports were not refused,' bu( they were not granted ; and, it seems obvious, thst it was the policy of the French Emperor to endeavour to gain time, in the hope of making a compromise' with tlic king of Pnnsiflj and to keep the English mi nister' in . Paris as a colour to his intrigue. The manoeuvre did not deceive the British Government, snd they resolved forthwith to begin their warlike operations. Our fleets were ordered td sail on the Important expe ditions which ere meditated, end as a means of preventing the march of troops fiom the Coast of I rancc," into Germany, 'directions .wcco given for A trial . of the inflammable ar row, against. the flotilla at Boulogne. This .was ordered atter Lord Lauderdale tiad de manded b"is passports, .when all hopes of qm ciliation were abandoned, and our ministers were informed of tbe troops being in full msrch from tbe iptcrior, of France towsrds Germany. The French were taken a'ltage iher unprepared." About seven thousand men only had been left, , at Boulogne, and they seemed no longer to entertain the least appre hension of annoyance there.' Our boata haJ about eix hundred men on board. The at tack, as we apprehended yesterday, excited jryeat resentment at Boulogne.
