From the Frontiers of POLAND, September 13.

The King of Prussia has taken Possession of the District of Great Poland, situated between the Draque and the Neize, as well as of all the Country of Prussia and Pomerania on both Sides the Vistula, which the Crown of Poland has hitherto held under the Name of Polish Prussia, except the Cities of Thorn and Dantzick and, in a Manifesto, his Prussian Majesty says he hopes the Republick of Poland, after having maturely considered the Circumstances therein set forth, and weighed the Validity of his Claims, will behave herself towards him on this Subject in an amicable Manner. The States and Inhabitants of these Countries are enjoined, by the said Manifesto, to submit to his Prussian Majesty's Dominion, to regard him as their King and lawful Sovereign, to demean themselves towards him as faithful and obedient Subjects, and to consider themselves as entirely released from all Subjection to the Crown of Poland; promising, on his Side, to protect and maintain them in their Rights and Possessions, both civil and ecclesiastical, and especially those of the Roman Catholick Faith in the free Exercise of their Religion.

HAMBURG, September 19. Letters from Warsaw advise us that on the 14th of this Month the Prussians, Russians, and Austrians, took Possession of the different Parts of that Kingdom assigned to their respective Sovereigns.
