" Vienna October SI 18.4. n 1: was stipulated by the Convention of Amis. t;ct . cs i the 23 of last February, existing betwi4en :re..t Britain and the Kingdom of Naples, that there !„„ij ail entire cessation of hostilities, by land and bv sea , and atfree commerce between this kinedotti :Ind Ch. , : • !shililfi of the Mediterranean and the Ada i •,‘ 'icri• British troops were stationed, or forces un j, the command of English Officers. ° In consequence of these stipulations, his Majesty !I , ICino; of Naples has not only permitted a free ~.,:nmerce between his States and Sicily, comprehen m!..l in t h e Convention of the 3d of February, as one •' islands of the Mediterranean in which British m!.oops were t.ttinricki, hut he has done all that &pen cn I,;m to place himself upon good terms, and yea in L:rect relations, with the Sicilian Government. c. But this letter, after having rather tolerated than I rermittid s:me communications with the kingdom m Narie3, imposing upon them, at the same time, trictions offensive to the Court of Naples, has at t.. rig th prohibited the admission of the Neapolitan into the ports of Sicily, as well as the sailing of vesieis to the kingdom of Naples. 4 , Ills Al.nesty the King of Naples relies with toa conficiaxe upon the integrity and justice of t:nt Government, to doubt that it will be suf ueut ;or it to know this conduct of the-Sicilian Go striinient, order to induce it not to suffer so mani fest an infraction of a solemn act, stipulated in she • am: and with the sanction of the English Govern - I.,nt. recognised by it. " To that end the undersigned Minister and Coon . !lor of State of 11:s Majesty the King of Naples, I•rstens to communicate to his Excellency, Lord Cas 'lt:re:ll.4h, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Hs c Nfajes!y, a letter from the Commandant of Messina to the Commandant of the Calabrias, that tle may know the order of the Sicilian Government, which prohibits the relations of commerce between two kingdoms. And, at the same time, he utrinot emit to inform his Excellency, that according t . °) all the intelligence received by the Neapolitan Go. vernmnt, it appears that this order *of the Court of Sicily is only the precursor of hostilities which it is repahlg against the kingdom of Naplet, under the otection of that pacific attitude which the Neap°. ;aim Government, faithful to the Convention of the of February, has continued to maintain towards S.cily. si The Undersigned begs, in consequence, that his f rcellency, Lord Castlereagh, would engage hii Go vernment to take the necessary steps for causing the Scilian Government, agreeably to the stipulations and the spirit of the Convention of the Sd February last, to revoke the prohibitory .ordars which it has given, or which it may since have i,..sited, against the liberty of commerce and the free communications be tween the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. 44 Requesting :ha his Excellency L' , rd Castle reagh would hon.ittr him %rid' a positive ausvrer upon this subject, the Undersigned seizes this occasion to teuew the assurances of his high consideration. (Signed) " The Duke of Camrocuuno." FLANDERS MAIL. VIENNA, APRIL 6. Marshal Berthier is just arrived here. Concerning the real state of the Congress, a more profound silence than ever has prevailed for some days ; there are not cat% ilt:y reports in circulation. We in vain look for the reasups of this enigmatical state of things. 'file appearance of Napoleon has certainly some influence, but peace will not be disturbed by it ; it is merely an executi,nai y war, (that is, a war to enforce a judicial sentence) merely some territorial pointad niay be chsanzco ; the peace itself remains as concluded. The troops of the Allifs, which are marching againu France, will be on the Ithifie about the end of April, and immediately begin their operations: The army of Prince Schsvartienberg will consist offniz corps and a reserve. The two first corps, each consisting f 45.000 Austrian troops, ate commanded by General Printe Hohenzollern and Count Collo. redo; the third by Prince Wrede; and the fourth by the Prince Royal of Wirtemburg. The reserve, con sisting 0160.000 chosen Aosirian troops, will be under the Archduke Maximilian, who is just arrived from Italy. The army commanded by General Frimont, in Italy, opposed to the Neapolitans, i s daily becoming stronger. Hostilities are expected to take place soon. By the middle of this month, Russia will have 200,000 hien in the first line, 200,000 on the Elbe, and 100,000 in Poland. It is not the intention of the Allies to make war with France, or to dictate laws to her. She called for Louis XVIII. it is for her to support him : they will make war only upon Napo leon, and will not lay down their arms till he is inca pacitated from doing farther mischief. France may gamier, whether after having so shamefullt aban doned her lawful Sovereign, who studied her happi ntss, she will expose herself to the miseries which , ensue to her, if she continues to support a tyrant and an usurper Ann. B.—The Archduke Charles sets out for Mentz to-morrow. The Crown Prince of Wurtem. burgh left us last night ; it is supposed he will cross the Rhine immediately on his arrival, with the Wur temburgh and Baden troops. The King of Naples has throwa off the mask, mid blood ha: flowed. ANOTHER I.ETTER, MME DATE. His Majesty the King of Bavaria left this city yes terday, to return to his dominions. 11,e news brought here on Monday, by the Arch c.tike Maximilian of Este, from Modena, of the ad -iarice of the King of Naples into the Roman terii "9, causes much speculation among the public.— fin army, it seems, consists of WOO men, with vieci: he is advancing, in five cultimns, to middle Italy. It appears that the mission of Captain Hud cl;.ika really related to the resolution of the Congress, welch requirdd that King Joachim should give by Naples, wherenp6n ate King, taking adirantagh of the present state of things, resolved to make a (Hier. sion in favour of Bonaparte. He, however, previ. ously announced to the Austrian Ambassador, that if the Congress would definitively recognise him; and wiar.intve i is d minions t.) him, he would Place 30,000 men at the disposal of Austria. While all this was passing in Italy, there was con clucled last week, with the Neapolitan Ministers here, Princes Campochiaro and Cariati ( who declared tliey had extensive powers to maki a definitive treaty) a new treaty ot alliance, to which, besides Austria, almost all . the European Powers acceded. With this Treaty it was, that Count Neipperg went express last Saturday to Ancana. It will now be soon seen whether King Joachim will stop his march. Very strict measures are taken towards all strangers - patticularly French; no Frenchman is allowed to leave the city ; and it is almost impossible for any etsl, comers to fix themselves here-4 very necessary precaution, as it is clear that Bonaparte had nume rous emissaries here 'doting the Congress; and no German can forget the evils which French emigrants have brought upon Get many by espionage and treachery. The King of Wurtemberg Las surpassed all ex pectation by his energetic measures in collecting his army. Last night the Princess Borghese (Fanline) passed through the suburbs of Vienna, with Tier mother, and Mr. and Madame B tcciochi (Elise), going to the fortress of Mungatsch, on the frontiers of Hungary. They had a numerous suite with eight carriages, and were not allowed to pass the night except in places where there was a good garrison. Among their suite is Marquis Lucchisini (the father). General Lapi, and all the rest of lionapute's people who were found at Porto Ferrajo, are also cnstveyed to Hungary. A courier of Napoleon's, coming from Paris, who had got to BarkersdorfF, one stage trom Vienna, has been stopt there, and forced to go back with his dis patches. The Boundary Treaty between Bavaria and Aus tria is signed. Imediately after the Bavarian troops received orders to proceed by forced marches to the Rhine. BERLIN, APRIL 9, To-morrow it, fixed for the King's departure from Vienna, to return to his capital. He will stop only three days here, and then repair to Frankfort, where the Emperor of Russia will arrive about the same time. This city alone has furnished 8000 men to the land wehr• A French spy was taken here yesterday. He had papers concealed in his boots, which were of the highest importance. GHENT, APRIL 17. Last Saturday night his Majesty, Louis XVIII. received a Courier, who, it isaffirmt.d. was the bearer of good news from France. The Duke of Whine has left Ghent upon a mission:' French soldiers daily arrive along the whole line of our frontier, coming to place themselves under the standard of their lawful Monarch. COLOGNE, APRIL 15; The Tet , l-de-Pont at Manheim is putting in a for. midable state of delence, jo as it was some years ago. It will be protected b' numerous artillet y.— General Schaffer, who distinguished hiinceif in Spain, is appointed to tlic command of the troops of Baden. GENOA, APRIL I. On the 30th el March arrived here the Qesam-tit Etruria, with the young King her son, and the Princess her datig'ner. She was accompanied by her Court, and cscot ted by a piquet ut the Royal Ctrabineers. BASLE, APRIL 7. It is remarked, that among our French neighbours, if not repentance, at least serious reflections on the appr etching events, begin to mingle with their en thusiasm. We have lately seen here many Frencr , Officers from Huningen without cockades. Oae of them privately shewed to an acquaintance a white cockade, which he wore in his bosom. The artillery is commanded by General Terlet, and the =Otters by General Hato. The army opposed to this, between the Maese and the North Sea, is already 130,000 strong, and is re ceiviug daily accessions of strength. MIDDLEBURGH, APRIL io. By a ship which arrived yesterday at Flushing, from Names, we receive the news that the miseries of civil war are already felt in that city. On one side of the city the white flag was flying, and the tricoloured Wig from the other, while the people murdered each other in the streets. The sailors are mostly on the side of the good citizens ) but the soldiers are for Napoleon. DORSTEN, APRIL 12. All the Prussian troops now at Wesel and the neighbourhood, about 15,000 strong, cross the Rhine to-morrow, to proceed to their further destination. BREMEN, APRIL t t. Government has decreed that 110 Frenarnan, or any one who Nas resided in France, shall be allowed to remain at Brawn wi:hout R. new passport granted by the highest military Minority, and containing an exact description of the person, &c. &c.

The Treaty FonclOcled at Vienna on the 25th ot Mach, of which we yesterdat laid a copy before our Readers, caused some conversation last night in the HolisiolCommons. In answer to tome ifuestions from Mr. WHITBREAD, Lord CASTLEREAGH admitted that the document is authentic, bet t h e copy inaccu rate in some of its expressions. This inaccuracy, We emiceive, from what passed, to relate only to that part in which the expressions employed in the transla tion amount to a declaration that the Allies will bring to punishment all who have joined, or hereafter may join the party of NAPOLEON* The general substance we take to be correct, and the House argued respect. ing it on that conviction. It was admitted by Mini sters, that they were possessed of the Treaty on the 7th instant, the day on which Lord CASTLEREAOII obtained the Address to the PRINCR REGENT ; but Ministers contended, that there was nothing in consistent between the terms of the Treaty and the Address ; and that the Opposition had no right to maintain, that an instrument adopted under one course of circumstances is to be conclusive under circumstances of a different description. The jet of the argument we conceived to be this—that a prepa ration for war, or Treaties entered into in the con. temptation of such an event being possible. did not necessarily import that a war must, at all events, be entered upon ; and looking at the Treaty itself we observe in it one clause which certainly leaves room for an honourable retreat from a hostile conflict' should that conduct appear best for the interests of Europe ; for the Allies engage to' act only in the BRUSSELS, APRIL 15. Within a 'few days- a considerable number of troops, from the lute* tor of France, have arrived upon the frontiers. The garrisons of Dou.iy, Lille, Mau burg, and Valet:iciiiies, have been reinforced. The rest of the troops are cantoned in the villages between the fortresses. Marshal Ney is expected back at Lille at the end of this month, to take the chief command of the French force on that side. What... the French are taking these defensive mea sures, there prevails, along our frontiers, an activity without parallel. Fresh troops daily arrive there with large convoys of artillery and ammunition. Mons, Tournay, and Ypres are already in a good state of detente, ani covered by numerous corps.— The landing of English troops at' Ostend still con , tinnes. The Prussians on the left wing continue to receive large reinforcements. The Prince of Orange is going to visit several points along the frontiers. The Army of Reserve, under Prince Frederick, is nearly com plete. The troops ate animated with the best spirit. The celebrated Sir Sydney Smith has numerous conferences with the Doke of Wellington. It is sup. posed he will have a command upon the Scheldt. Sir C. Stuart has had the honour to present his Majesty his credentials, as Ambassador from the *Prince Regent of England to the King of the Ne therlands. We learn from Tournay that some French lancers, being a part of the advanced posts at Baiseux, two leagues from that town, after having pillaged the vil lages of their cantonments, entered our territory ; but the Hanoverian Hussers did not give them time, and having sabred some of them, took the rest prisoners. The General commanding at Lille having claimed them, with the promise to have them punished as disturbers of the peace and robbers, they have been sent back to him. BRUSSELS, APRIL is. The Russian Courier, with dispatches from the Emperor Alexander to our Government, arrived here to-day. The accounts from Milan, of the 2d instant, do not mention the approach of the Neapolitan army,) they only say that Prince Schwartzenberg was ex petted there. The accounts from Florence, of a later date than those in the Paris Papers, which announce the pretended engagement between the Austrians and the Neapolitans, the entrance of the latter into Rome, Bologna, and Milan ; the SAM Austrians taken pri soners; the 30,000 insurgents who had. joined the event of being requiresl to do so by the Km of FRANCE. The meaning of this cannot be misunder stood. They will not be so required unless they them selves shall be persuaded of the prudence of such a step. At a late hour last night, Brussels Papers to the 20th, and Frankfort to the 16th, arrived in Town. Their contents are highly interesting. Germany is once more pouring forth her military population to wards the Rhine. It will be seen from the Vienna ar ticle, that the two si►ters of BONAPARTE and his mo ther, with a few more o(the late inhabitants of Elba. have been seized, and conveyed to a fortress in Hun. gary. Copious ektracts will be found in the prece,4- ing columns. The most interesting perhaps of all the articles presented in these papers is the one respecting the King of NAPLES. It is well known that MURAT had acceded to the former coalition against BONAPARTE. It is equally well known that one or more of the principal Powers had engaged to guarantee to him the Kingdom of Naples—that some hesitation at least to recognize his sovereignty had been ntani (cited by some of the Powers—that he employed the • • . fiestiolitalts. Ste: &c. make no moist en of any such nasal Means of negotiation—that failing in his ob. events; bat they tell us, that Joachim has taken a. j ct, or not obtaining it vs sp: he expected, posifibn in the Marches, which appeared to be ;mei\ he has latterly eleven a disposition to join his tort i;nes defensive. The letters frotn Genoa, of the 29th, to those of NAPoixos ; and that there have evvn hen confirtit the above. Tranquillity, say they, reigns skirmishes between his troops and those of Austria. in our city, in the midst of the fermentation produced' by the accounts from France. • The present accounts h )wever hold out a hor FROM THE LOWER RHINE, APRIL 14. he will soon be found heartily cu.operAting v id* the The German troops vhith are to compose the Al li es. grand arshies, reach in succession their destination or approach it rapidly. The troops of the great army on the Upper Rhine, and those of Baden and Wur temberg, are already at their post ; the Bavarians are every where on the march, and the Austrians who entered Bavaria on the 28th ult. are approaching with all speed. The Pruslians, to join the Army on the Lower Rhine, are passing through Hesse. Their appearance is admirable—and it is impossible to farm an idea of the enthusiasm which animates them. Besides the Russian armies that cattle through Bohemia, and 18,000 of the Emperor Alexander's Guards, are to land at Lubeck. Th. French troops are also advancing to their' frontiks---their number is small, compared to the vast Once (mimed to them. The French army which is to cover the Northern frontiers, and must doubtless be the most numerous, is stated by the French them selves, and therefore in all likelihood with much ex aggeration, at 60,000 men, divided into two corps, one under Count Erlon, whose head-quarters are at Lille, and the other uader General Rulle, at Valen ciennes. The Lord Wellington packet, Captaio Ilor.rEtsr. with 18 passengers on board, arrived at Br:gluon et an early hour yesterday morning, from D oppe, which place she left in the afternoon of Thursday. Several of the passengers, who left Paris nn night, represent that capital as being in a state of the utmost inquiewde. They were present at the p . retrel review on Sunday, and, according to their de , c;ii,.. tion, MACK'S army, at the moment of their grottiv.thot arms before BONAPARTE at Ulm, coul.l tact inive felt more debased and humiliated than did the Natioeal Guard on that occasion. So far from entliesi.om - being evinced, the utmost dejection and glom?, very generally prevailed. At the conclusion of NAN)Li;oN's harangue, sr;me approbation was manifested, but it uds catri , mv!y partial, and proceeded from the vilest of the There is scarcely a smile to be seen, except in the countenances of the soldiers, or of tkite inn-rested in war; and the joy of these is unbounef:?el.

The Army of the Duke of WeLsrmrrox, in Bel gium, occopies a line extending from Ostend to Cli sr leroi. The head-quarters are not yet fixed ; but it is believed they will b , ,.! established at Brusssels. This army consists of EnAlish, Flemings, Hanoverians, and Dutch. A corps cf Brunswicktrs is expected. General Hit.t. commands under the Duke of WEL.. LINGTON. Prince FREDERICK of ORANGE has the command of the Dutch and Flemish troops. His head-quarters are at Nivelles. The artillery of this army is numerous, and the cavalry well mounted and equipped.
