Extract of a letter from Paris, express, Oct. 3.

War cannot be more talked of in London, than it is bandied about in this city; nor are the preparations in England, probably, more vigorous than in France. Indeed this cabinet have been playing safe and loose very long with you. Ever since Commodore Cowper was called out, now three months ago, the French cabinet took the hint, but they have been secret in all they have done. The Christian King hath appointed Mon. de Nieuille, who is of his own household, to carry to Berlin his Majesty's ultimatum in respect to the Princes of Orange, and the present situation of affairs in Holland: and he is set off for that capital. The Russian Envoy has frequent conferences with the Bishop and the Count de Montmorin, who at present do all the business of the foreign departments; and be assured they are by no means slovenly performed.
