ferming together an extent of 986 E nglish 
square miles, and containing 697,240 in- 
habitants; which provinces  conformably 
to Napoleon’s decree of the 18th of Au- 
gust, 1807, are to form a part of the 
kingdom of Westphalia, as well as the 
Old Mark, Magdeburg, Halle, and the 
county of Mansfeld.

miles.

square miles in extent, with 116, 000° in- 
habitants, which province is expected to 
be added to the territory of Holland. 
This country was not materially im- 
portant to Prussia, in a financial respect, 
but in a commercial point of view its loss. 
falls equally heavy on the merchants of 
England and East Friesland. Embden was 
the only good part that Prussia had on the 
North Sea. Its situation between the 
Baltic and Atlantic rendered this town, 
during Great Britain’s maritime wars with 
Holland and France, uncommonly favou- 
rable to the extensive commerce of Eng- 
lish manufactures and. colomal produce 
with the nations of the interior of Eu- 
rope..

[Dec. 1, 
On casting up the losses of Prussia by the 
peace of Tilsit, they will be found to ex- 
ceed 11,000 Enelish square miles in ex- 
tent ywith a population of considerably 
more than four millions. 
That Prussia had been aggrandized by 
conquest; by the unjust partition of a 
and by an un- 
principled alliance with the modern de- 
vastators of Europe, cannot be denied; 
yet the continent of Europe will have 
cause to lament her fall. Already are 
all the states of Germany, except Austria, 
confederated with France; Italy obeys 
the sway of the Gallic ruler; Switzerland, 
Holland, Naples, and Spain, are his vas- 
sals ; the power of ‘Turkey im Europe is to 
expire with the present year; and if Au- 
stria obtains no share of the spot, her 
ruin appears almost inevitable. «The two 
remaining powers will then contend for 
univ Saal dominion. The weight of Prussia 
thrown into either of the scales will be no 
longer able to balance them, and a few 
battles will decide whether the whole con- 
tinent of Europe is to obey the emperor 
of the East or the emperor of the West. 
The kingdom of Prussia, at present con- 
sists of, 
1. Prussia itself, which is divided into 
Eastand West Prussia. Hast Prussia con- 
tains the provinces of Samland, Natan- 
gen, Oberland and Ermeland. Its ter- 
ritorial extent is about 3,300 English 
square miles, and the number of its inha- 
bitants before the war amounted to 
980,000. West Prussia contains the pro- 
vinces of Pomerellia, in which is situated 
the free city of Dantzic; the northern 
part of the circle of Culm with Grau- 
dentz, a strong town, which was no- 
bly defended by the veteran General de 
l’Homme de Courbiere, whose services 
have been rewarded with a field marshal’s 
staif; and that part of the Netz District 
which is to the north of a line drawn from 
Driesen in the New Mark of Branden- 
burg through Schneidemiihl to the Vistula 
below Graudentz. The territorial extent 
cf West Prussia may comprize about 
2,180 English square miles, and the nur- 
ber of its inhabitants may be computed 
at 520,000. © 
e: Brandenburg, which is divided into 
Middle Mark, Pricgnitz, Ucker Mark and 
New Mark. Its extent is about 2,640 
English square miles, and deducting the 
147,260 inhabitants, which it loses with 
the Old Mark and the circle of Cotbus, 
from the 1,300,000 whom it contained 
before the war, its present population will 
amount to 1,152,740.
