Officers of the different armies are all transferred to the General Staff of the French army, in purfuanee of the arrete of the 9th Otto ber.

The Grand Seignoe is Caid to have.again made a tender of pardon,to PAS MAO 00t00 ; but the latter refuted, repeating the well-known laying, tt When I drew my fword againff my Sovereign, I threw the fcabbard into the Danube." Aram I.—The lquadrun of Admiral WARRIII, which had entered Melton, after having been chaced by Rear Admiral Gartteaau ma, has taken the advantage of the entrance of our fleet into Toulon again to put to.fea. He appeared off the Gulph of - Naples on the 16th March, with four (hips of war and two frigates. The fqnadron lay to the whole of the 17th. The Engli(h had fre quent communications with the city. It is even confidently (fated that they took on board bifeuit baked at Callillainere;' On the evening of the 17th the fquadron difappeared. It appears certain that, in fpite of thparmiftice, the communications between Malta and Sicily are very frequent, and every thing flews that M. Ac row dces not ezecete the treaty with good faith. It is known that this Minifler ' who has all his for esaw in England, is not very fi ncerely attached tO Naplest when he than have conftanmated the ruin of his country, he will embark in the Engin fleet, and will find himfelf in Louden one of the rich& lubjefts• in Europe. It was reported at Naples on the esti Ventofe, that the Englillt bad failed from Mani on the sad of February ; that on the ill of March they arrived before Abou kir, where they can anchor, waiting for the army of the Grand Vizier; that they had not dared to difembark, but that they were at tempting to renew the correfpondence which they had f"ormerly kept up with the army. It is 'Amite nateJ that the Englint had got poilisfflon of the insult! of Zante, where they found ire Ruffian hips, and tint they behaved with great violence to all •he Ruffians whom they Met. The Army of Obf:rvation of the South on the aohof March was at Turin, where General MoILAT had his head-quarters. The arminice has erpired.

Arnie 3.—The Foreign journals are filled with complaints that the money rifing out of the contri• butions inipofed upon Germany, had been fent into France, in order to pay the army of the Rhine on their return into the French territory. Thefe complaints are wholly without foundation ; Ger many in general did not (lifer much from the con tributions ; and the afertion of thefe journalifts is betides ungwinided. For the army of the Rhine is in arrears feven or eight months. Thefe arrears are to be paid off in France out of the funds railed for the year 9; and the DireElor of the Public Treafury has already taken meafures in conic quence.—Moniteur. The young Prince ADOLPHUs, who was at Ber lin, has precipitately left that city and proceeded to Hamburgh, from whence he intends to take his paffage for England. By private letters received at Nantz, we are in formed, that the Senate of the Unitcd States has confirmed the ratification of the Treaty with France, without any reftriaive condition. ThAuflian Minifter, difpatched by the Em peror Pauc to the King of NAPLES, is arrived at Palermo. It is Rated, that he was to proceed to Florence, for the purpofe of affitling at the Con grefs which is to adjult the terms of Peace between France and Naples. APRIL 4—All the avenues to the Palace of the Tribunate are Phut up, as a new hall is conftruding for that Affembly. The houfes of Comity, BAUDOUIN, and BROOM, are to be pulled down, in order to give to the Ca ressed a regular appearance, and to afford a full view of the Confular Palace. _ _ The Tier, Confolidi were yellerday at c6f. 13c. Yellerday the promenade of Longchamp was doled for the feafon. The days on which it was open proved to Paris a real fource of fellivity and attraftive magnificence. There, all the riches of luxury were difplayed, all the fafcinations of beau ty, and the elegance of talk exhibited. Numer ous crowds conllantly attended it, and the effed of this charming fcene was very much heightened by the fplendour of the carriages, and the variety of objets which compofed the cavalcades. A report prevailed that Portugal had made her peace with Spain. It is reported that the Englifh fleet, under Sir HYDE PARKER, have palled the Sound ; that it has prefented itfelf before Copenhagen, and threat ened tobombard that city, and burn the (hips in the port, if the Court of Denmark does not inflant ly to a formal renunciation of the Northern Coalition. The Prefea of the Gironde has fuppreffed the Bourdeaux Newfpaper called la Speaatter, for having, in the fir d place, Rated the /4; val prepa rations in the port of Rochfort, and the names of the (tips which lately anchored there, coming from the file d'Aix ; and, fecondly, for having given currency to an atrocious falfehood, relative to the fuppofed murder of a young female, near Blaye, by her lover. Ten men and fix women are now before the Criminal Tribunal (thole people, it is known, were implicated in the late attempt to murder the PHI Conful). Silty-two witnelfes have been fob peened on the occafton ; and, though the Court has been fitting fine IVednefday laft, only one has been examined, namely, Lambe', who fold the horfe and the cart, on which the infernal ma chine was placed. A general difcuffion took place on the depo. fition of this individual : the prifonen were inter. rogated, and the whole tenor of their anfwers went to deny the fat& itfelf, though feveral of them con. feted the truth of many collateral circumtlances, which tended, in a grcat meafure, to fubdantiate their criminality. Carbon, for inftance, owned that he purchafed the horfe and cart, but denied that he had been in the Rue St. Nicaife ; and de clared that he had no evil intentions in purchafing the horfe and cart. Saint-Regent declared he did not let fire to the machine, and that it was by chance he was in the Rue de Malte, where he was wounded through the effeet of the explofion.— Sevetal of the prifoners Rand stecufed of having teemed Saint-Regent and Carbon.

Several men of war approached even fol near the batteries of the Ifle of Goree as to be within reach of the fhot. Some troops from this garrifon have been fent to that Ifland. It is not true that the Swedifh Admiral Csortsrror has arrived in Batavia, as announced in feveral of the French Journals: neither has General ANGLRLA u arrived, but he is hourly expected.

Th:fe troops are expeded to arrive in the courfe of the day. Accounts are juft received, that the Englith fleet bad arrived at the entrance of the Sound. The Engin Admiral difpatched a flag of truce, charged with requiring, tit, The free paffage of the Sound for his Beet ;--2cl, That Denmark Mould withdraw from the coalition :—the Englifh Ad miral went fo far as to call upon his Dual' Ma -1 jelly to come to a decifion within the fpace of four hours. The King, however, felt indignant at the propofal, and Brialy refuted to fubmit to any fueh demand. The Engliflx Ambaffador embarked im mediately, and went to join the fleet that was pre paring to force the paffage of the Streight. The refult of the attempt is expeeted with the moil anxious impatience. BERLIV I MARCH 22.—The rupture of our Court with that of St. James's, is inevitable.

This army is eflimated at forty thouffind men. We hear from Wallachia, that the troops of Passwam Occou ftill continue their ravages u that quarter, and no doubt is entertained that the rebel PAC HA has got polfeffion of Bucbareft. We are impatient to know how he will behave when the Ruffian army than have penetrated into Wal lachia and Moldavia. It is affirmed in letters from Confiantlnople, that the Grand Seignior has again offered the Puha a general amnear, without effea. Piss, Maned ;7.-.'We are afffired that the Army of Qbfervation is in motion, for the purpofe of marching to Naples.
