• ace Generals Abbe, Caster, and Marulaz. Other di.' visions of reserve are assembling at VisoUl and Be svon, and connect with a camp which is about to t. r eatablished at Fort L'Ecluse, and forms the left of the army of the Alps. Lieutenant-Generals Molitor, 9r 3 hurreaux, Albert, Heudelet, Grandjean, Merlin, t ad Delon; are. employed in the Army o f the Rhine. to the second line, entrenchments are forming at tie seven passages of the Voigei, which•are guarded by two divisions of reserve,. the right of which rests t on tho canna at Beforti*and the left upon the army o f the Moselle. The troops of the army of the Moselle, comman ded bp i Lieutenant General Gerard, are every where in motion, to take positions in front of Thionville and t ang wy, coanecting themselves w i t h ih e army of •I!e Rhine by Bitche. Lietitetiam.Generals Lanusse, Wichrty, Tie Bouitrmnt, Morin, and JAC luinnt, are employed in Ws a rm y. We are Unacquainted with the dispositions of the ,• i •my of the Ardennes ; we only know that Lieute. :..nit General Vandamme commands it ; that the for , ti esscs of the Meuse are manned by National Guards, that they are proceeding with activity to fortify the d2tiles of the Argone ; that the towns of Leon; Sois s,sll;, Rheims, Chalons, Vitry, and Langres, are put ;ii a state of defence # and that a numerous artillery is citlirr already planted in battery, or, on its way to !hose places. It appears that the army of the Alps is already very strong in front of Chambery. 'The three first battalions of the regiments are in dine and complete ; but the 4th and 6th are not yet :! 0 . Ire expect numerous convoys of troops from the interior, and we hope that the inhabitants of Nor mandy, Bretagne, Poitou, Auvergne, and all the pro. vinces not on the frontiers, will hasten to send us the old t-oldiers that are intioded to complete those bat. taliuns, and to double our army. The rsgituems of cavalry, which a month ago had not more than 300 horses, have been rapidly augmen ted by numerous levies raised with success. They will soon be cOmplete. The preparations are every where proceeding with prodigious activity. Goierinfient must be at an enormous expense. MAY The Prussians who were on the frontiers, its the di. fection of Thionville and Longwy hate made a movement to their right. It seems that they are pro ceeding towards the Meuse, in the direction of Na nny. The news of the great success of the King of Naples over the Austrians has reached us by way of Switiettand and Frankfort, where it has excited great joy. If apilearg that the Prince enticed the Austrians to follow him they bad the imprudence to divide into two colunins : one of which advanced upon Rome, and the other Upon Ancona. The king, after uniting his fortes, marched against the latter, which w the left eolnren, commanded by Lieutenant Field Marshal Count Nejpperg, took 80011 priloners and 28 pieces of cannon one Lieutenant Field Marshal was wounded, together with four other Generals, several of whom, it seems, have been taken. Some letters say that it was General Bianchi who was wounded; ac torchng to others it was General Neipperg. GENOA, APRIL 29. Ring Joachim has published his alliance with Na imle.m. His Imperial the Archduke John it evert trimmest expected from Venice. LISLE. MAV i 4. The picked battalions of the Somme and the Aisne have entered our city ; the troops of the line and the national guards composing our garrison went to meet those battalions with music. The malcoritents turn pile, and the indifferent qr timid rouse from their apathy and blusth to see the defence of our city in trusted to our neighbours. BASLE, MAY 7. The number of troops that occupy the French territfiry, contiguous to the Canton of Bade', is stated to amount to 40,000 men . Fourteen regiments of infantry and nine regiments of cavalry have been for some days encamped near 3efort, under the corn inand of Gen. Lecourbe. There is also at Altkirch a wee park of artillery and ammunition, and a con siderable number of troops of all sorts. Huningen swarms with troops. On the 3d a con side! able reinforcement of gunners, together with 13 ammunition waggons, arrived there. The place is abundantly provided with every thing requisite to sustain a long siege, and great numbers of National Guard; keep arriving. In Alsace, and in the neighbouring provinces, all the young men above 1S; and all unmarried Men under 40, have been levied to reinforce the armies ; among theta are a number of Jews. On the 3d, pieces of artillery, of large calibre, v-ere planted on the ramparts of baste. The nervous fever continues its ravages there, and several persons have did of it. The whole of the eastern frontier of the Grand Duchy of Bade swarms with Austrian and Other Ger man mops. ROME, APRIL tt9• In the course of May the King of Naples will have More than 90,000 men with him, exclusively of the troops in garrison. At this moment news is circulated that the Aus trians have heft beaten at Moat with couside-' table loss. NUREMBERG, MAY $. We have at length received news of ail Russian army destined to join the Allies. It emitted its can tonments of Russian Poland, and the Duchy of War. saw, towards the 2Uth of April. Tit, corps of Ge neral Sackcn, with the exception of the advanced guard under General Vforonsoff, began its march at Ca. same time. This Russian army is divided intro three grand corps d'armee and a corps of reserve. The first, under the orders of general Sicken, will traverse Silesia, Lusatia, Saxony, and Franconia. The first brigade 'quitted Breslau, the 22d April, directing on Lusa tia ; the second arrived there the 22d ; and the third the 21th. This division consists of 9,000 men and 2+ guns. The other columns of this corps d'armee have not yet entered Silesia. The s-coed corps d'armee is under the orders of General I:rmaloff ; it is much weaker than the corps cif Sack: n, and began to move err the 20th April. Its direction is on Cracow, tram whence it proceeds by Moravia and Bohemia for Franconia. The (bird corps is commanded by General Lange ran. This corps has nor yet entered Gallicia, and cannot be oa the Rhine before the beginning obJuiy. LONDON. SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1815. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The pretended Proclamation of the Duke of WEL LINGTON gave rise to some conversation last night in Parliainent. It proves to be, as we suspected, an absolute forgery—but where fabricated we have yet to learn. We understood Lord LIVERPOOL CO he had seen it in the Moniteur of the 13th ; but we must have heard incorrectly, for it does not appear ia that Paper, or indeed in any Number of that Journal.—The News-paper which first gore it is, we think, bound to say, from what 'Journal it was trans lated. Till then we shall not charge the French with the forgery. At a late hour last night we received the Paris Papers of May 16th. The Emperor has not left Paris, and the French funds, perhaps on that account, keep improving, or rather we ought to say they do not fall backward in price. They left off at 59 on Monday. Tile French Journalists claim a victory for their faithful Ally MURAT, on the 29th ultimo : this is at least doubtful. The sirmies on the French frontiers are represented as in the best possible condi tion, and as burning to meet the enemy. They admit their deficiency in cavalry in many points. Paris is still in a most agitated state; and inflam matory Pamphlets are daily circulated. With respect to the dispositions of the people in other parts of France, the following extract of a letter received from Calais we consider as meaning to express more than meets the eye: " CALAIS, SUNDAY, MAT 14,1815. " MORTIER passed here a few days ago on a tour of inspection. He made such a cold speech to the military, that they do :tot know what to make of it, but appear evidently displeased ; the substance of i: wai--" Eery Frenchman ought to be useful to his country, and in case of danger, the military especially. I have served Louts, and I glory in it. Circumstances have changed. We are called upon by another power to support the honour of France, and it is to be hoped that no one will be deficient in his duty ;" thus avoiding the name of NAPOLEON, and omitting the esta blished custom of concluding by " Vive rEmpervor." Last night a Flemish Mail arrived, from which we have given, in the preceding columns, an inte resting article from Switzerland, from which it ap. pears that they mean to act in concert with the other Powers against France, having refused to recognize the Government which has NAPOLEON as its head. This morning we have received a fresh supply of Brussels and German Papers. Their general com• plezion is highly cheering. contrasted with the timhl and contemptible stile in which tkey used to write during the former tyranny of BONAPARTE over the Ness of the Continent, From almost every part of the French frontier wn have accounts similar to those we have for some time been in the habit of receiving from the opposite coast. Numbers of deserters and other young men pass into the territories of the Al lies, some to avoid perjury, oths to seek revenge for ;he evils with which the usurpation of NAPOLEON threatens their country. • Every where she troops of the Allies are in motion, and in some places the advancing columns follow in uninterrupted succession, every day hastening to the scene of action. Even the Saxon troops will prove more serviceable than was expected. It appears by an official account, published at Aix-la-Chapelle, that l ithe defection was by no means general; nn the con trary, the great majority feel themselves degraded by the unworthy part that his been acted by their misled companions, •who, as we stated on the authority of a Gentleman who was in Liege at the time, actually made an attempt on the life of Marshal BLUCHER. —The mutineers attacked his hotel, but his guards, whO were themselves &mons, all proved faithful.— Oa the 6th the Marshal published an Address to the soldiers who had remained faithful, acquitting them of all participation in the crime, and acquainting them that the Regiment of Grenadiers, the only one that disgraced itself, bad ceased to exist. The following are extracts of other articles which" appear in these Journals THE EVENING STAR. VIENNA, MAY 4. For some dAys past a great number of strangers, whom the Congress had brought here, have been leaving us. It is probable that by the end of thii month very few will remain. BRWSELS, MAY 15. Some manufacturing cantons of the departments of Jemappe, and of the Sombre and Meuse, were ceded by the treaty of Paris to France, to the great regret of the Belgians. All the men in these cantons able to bear arms being now called upon to march for the government of Bonaparte, they leave their homes in crowds, and seek an asylum from tyranny among their former countrymen—they affirm, that in seve ral places there are none but old men, women, and children. I.AUSANNE, MAY 6. The Sardinian troops still occupt Carouge, but they are preparing to -leave it. We learn 'from Savoy that a great many priests and young men have lately arrived, having fled from that part of the principality which is left to France : the first to avoid taking the oath required of them, the lag to escape the military requisitionu of the Prefect of Mont Blanc. Several French regiments. of font and hone, about 7,000 men in all, which were employed in the South, are advancing towards *Ramilly and . Angecy. The conduct of Generals Curial and Maison, who have remained faithful to their King, gives great pleasure to die Savoyards, their fellow•countrymen, who, neighbours to the Swiss, follow, like them, the sentiments of honour and duty. ' A strong Austrian army is advancing from Alex andria to the frontiers of DAuphiny. The Pietlmon• tese. under General Latour. are joined to drib army. BASI.F, MAY 6. On the ?Bth ult. French Commissioners assembles' at Altkirch the young men of that and many neigh bouring communes, and made speeches to them, re quiring them to march. They were heard without interruption, but nobody would march. They called gene-d'armes to their aid, but these were pelted with atones and driven away. PRAGUE, MAY 6. By private letters we have the news, the authen ticity 6f which we cannot however vouch for, that the Turks have totally destroyed the city of Bucharest. HAMBUROH, MAY is. We learn from Copenhagen, under date of the II th instant, that in execution of orders received Isom Vienna, the Danish Governmvnt has taken strong measures against France, a n d th e a dh erents o f the system at present prevalent in that country. All commerce with France is prohibited under strong penalties. MIRO (IN SAXONY), MAY 2. Within these eight days the troops follow so closely that they can hardly make room for each other.— Twelve regiments have passed by this place, Dessau, Yerbst, and Mockern. They march from 25 to 30 miles a day.--Their knapsacks are conveyed in waggons. MILAN, MAY 3. It is said that Murat has published his alliance with Bonaparte. It is supposed that Count Nugent has already reached Rome with his army. In conseqnence of the Emperor of Austria having released some Neapolitan vessels, captured and car ried into Triest, Murat has issued a Decree, pro. hibitirg ptivateenng. A letter received thig morning from Brussels, dated the 16th instant, says-44 The only news we have here is, that the Duke of WIXLINGTON is not expected to move until the arrival of the Russians on the frontiers, which is looked for in about three weeks. It is calculated here that the British army will em plcy 15,000 horses, including cavalry. At Ostend, every thing seems neglected for the war arrange. ments ; all business is at a stand, and the only thing pod to be met with is Hollastit THE QUXrieS Butiu-D4T.—Yesterday being her MAJESI YIS Birth-day, when she completed her 71st year, it was obierved in a private manner. Since the indisposition of the KINCi t the QUEEN has not ob served her natural birthday, or the nominal one, on the 18th of January, when it used to be celebrated with a splendid Court, and other demonstrations of rejoicing. The number of all ranks of distinguished characters who flocked to the Palace to pay their re. specfs was very gieat—there were almost a continued succession of carriages during the day On Thursday the Pains /WENT will hold a Levee at Carlton-house. Mr. Restate was, during the whole of Thursday night, and until three o'clock yesterday, in consider. able danger, when the . disorder took a favourable turn, and sanguine hopes are new entertained of his ultimate recovery. His complaint is the gout, which it was feared had flown to his head, attended with a violent cough and oppression ow the hangs.. Moss, a Comedian of considerable merit, who per formed many years ago on the London Stage, and since in Dublin, Edinburgh, and almost every pro vincial theatre in the kingdom, is at this time a wretched inmate of the Royal Infirmary of the latter city, sinking under ape, malady, and misfortune. SHOCKING Faaa.—Yesterday morning a fire broke !out in a stable belonging to Mr. Burgess, hackney man, of Little Russell-street, Bloomsbury. Three horses were burnt to death, three stables, with their valuable contents of hay, stew, corn, &c. were demo lished before the flames were finally subdued. • By the fire which broke out on Monday last in the stables of Messrs. TIMERKLL and LONG, at Bradford, in Somersetshire, four valuable horses, worth at least 50 guineas each, were burnt to death before their stable-door could be got open. An accident occurred on Monday last at Manches ter, which for some time caused a considerable alarm through the town. It was the day fixed upon for the whole of the Sunday Schools to meet in the Old Church, to attend Divine Service. The children assembled amounted to nearly 8000 in number.— During .prayers, by some accident, one of the win dows was violently broken, upon which several of the children got upon the end of one of the forms placed in the aisles, to see what was the matter, and the form tipped up with them. This caused a violent scream and general' alafm that some part of the building had given way; a lush to the doors immediately took place, in consequence of. which one boy was killed, and several so much hint as to be obliged to be taken to the hospital.
