The following Order of the Day on the commence. rt►ent of hostilities and the action on the 4th instant, on the Pinar°, has appeared at the head-quarters bf the Comsnander.in-Chief of the Italian army, Baron Frimont FIRST OFFICIAL BULLETIN. " Head-quarters, Piadena, April 6, 1811. " The King of Naples has violated our territory with arms in his hands, and commenced hostilities without any previous Declaration of War. At the saute time that I acquaint the army with a conduct so unworthy, and contrary to the law of nations, I seize this opportunity of announcing also the first successful military event. " Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron Bianthi thought it due to the honour of our arms to engage with our right wing. The action took place on the 4th inst. on the line of retreat assigned him, en the Pamir°, at the bridge before Modena. Upwards of '2OO pri scums, It much greater number of killed and wounded, among the latter of whom was the Neapolitan Gene ral Fitangiero, mortally, were the honourable results of this conflict. ,‘ May the army, proud of having confirmed its military glory, consider this success as the prelude to greater and more decisive victories. . 1 FR IZIONT, °Meta d Cavalry. " Commander.lo.Chief of the Armpit ttaly." SECOND BULLETIN. VIINNA, APRIL SO. The following Bulletin of the Army, respecting the operations in Italy, has appeared : A Courier, just arrived from Italy, brings the following accounts from the head-quarters of Baron Frimont, dated the 12th of April. The enemy re mewed his attack on the tete-de-pont of Occhio Bello, on the Sth and 9th of April, with two strong divi sions, but was every time repulsed with considerable loss. Baron Bianchi, who had been ordered to take a positi"n before Burgoforte, between the Cavo -Ben tivogiio and the Po, but to harass the enemy as_ n uch as possible, attacked, on the 10th, in two co lonies, the enemy's post of Carpi, occupied by batta lions of the division of Carascosa. The action was very obstinate, till at length the enemy abandoned the , own in a complete rout, in which twelve officers and 500 men were taken prisoners. The loss on our side is very tfifling. " The enemy upon this abandoned Reggio, and re treated by Modena. Lieutenant Field Marshal Baron Mohr has re te'ved orders :o advance from the tete-de-pont of Occbto Bello, to clear the citadel of Ferrara of the enemy. In the Grand Duchy of Tuscany the divi sions of Livron and Pignatelle proceeding along the road from Cortona, had advanced to Florence. after his Imperial fiigheess the Grand Duke bad retired to Pisa. General Count Nugent, who was with his cor p:; at Pisto n s, learned that the enemy was directing his march against him, for the purpose of driving him from a position the more disadvantageous to the Nea. reitan main army, as the arming ot the mountaineers Was for wardeJ by his presence. He marched against the enemy, waited for him in a favourable position, routed and pursued him to the gates of Florence. .4 Captain Radisits, of the Quarter.Master-Gene ral's Staff, with seven Lichtenstein buvars and 13 Tuscan dragoons. attacked the head of the enemy's column, and tlirew it into complete disorder ; one Colonel and 3'2 men belonging to the Guuds are among the prisoners." THIRD suLLErIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY, Vicuna, Aeiti It. By a Courier who left the head-quaners of the Army of Italy on the 14th, the following intelligence ia just received : It was indispmssibly necessary to clear from the enemy the point of Ferrara, which was nut yet put into a proper state of defence and provisioned. To ibis. end, Norm Frimont ordered Lieutenant Field- Marshal Mohr to push forward, from the true-de flout of Occhio Bello, upoo !Lava* and casaglia, in order to attack and drive of the enemy, " This attack was made on the 12th, in the after noon, with great vigour by Mohr's division, while Lieriredant Field Marshal Count Neipperg threatened the flank of the enemy. The latter, though Am brosio's division had hastened to reinforce him, was completely routed, all his works destroyed, and by leis total retreat, which took place in the night of the 1341), Ferrara was fortunately delivered. " Lieutenant Field Marshal Mohr pursued him itrl all directions towards Bologna. The regiment of Weid Runkel took one piece of cannon, with some a mmunition waggons ; many prisoners tell* into our lands, and the loss of the enemy in killed and wounded was very conbiderable; among the latter is General Ambrosio. , 4 On our part we have lost 150 killed and woun dA, among whom are several Officers. In ' lar we lament the misfortune of the brave Major Ivanovich, of St. Julien's, who has lust a leg by cannon ball. The Generalof Cavalry hi g hly com mends tie conduct of Lieutenant Field Marshal Mohr, and likewise of General Baron Lauer, who gallantly delended the unfinished citadel of Ferrara, a g ainst two violent assaults. 46 General Count Nugent has repulsed several at tacks on the 10th and 11th at Pistoia, and took Irom the enemy 40 prisoners. " In the different actions up to this time 2,000 Neapolitan ptisoliers have been brought in. The results of all the operations in Italy prove that Merit has been obliged to relinquish the offen sive. Beaten at all points, he has retreated from the banks ot the Po. His airily is demoralized; the peace of Italy, *frith lie menaced, is secured; and our army will be ready to attack him in a few days with a superior force, whilst another corps is assem bling in the frontiers of Piedmont, for the purpose of observing the South of France." According to the latest accounts, the Neapolitans had already left Bologna, and Ids Imperial highness the. Archduke Francis, Duke of Modena, after an absence of ten days, had returned, on the 13th, to his c 66 Discontent and alarm (says the Giornale Varz;" of tiie 14th) begin to pervade the Neap ti all tro , i v,. who themselves cruelly disappointed i n A l i hop‘s which they were latoAlit to ii.dulge.— Desertion - increases daily among them, and the hen ribla ezeieises which they committed have rendered them so odious to the inhabitants, that in many places pi. • . r , • • the people took up arms against them." The wounds Teceteed .by the Neapolitan General Ambrosio, be- fore Ferrara, are so dangerous that his life is despaired of. as well as that et General Filangieri, who received two balls and four sabre wounds in the first action on the Panay).

Exchequer 4s. to Is. pre. The official Austrian Bulletins given in another column from the Vienna Gazelle, agree in the general detail with the accounts we have already laid before our Readers, respecting the hostilities which have been commenced in Italy by MURAT. Respecting Waal. there have been, many reports and different opinions. Fiom the dispuision brought on last night in the House of Commons, by Mr. Hoareza's motion for papers respecting the negocia dons and correspondence that had taken place with MURAT, the public will be able to fonts a pretty cor rect opinion of the degree of confidence whicii ought or ought not to be placid In the integrity of the King . of NAPLES. Lord CASTLEREAGH read copies and ex. tracts of many curious documents respecting the per fidious conduct of MunaT, while professing attach ment to the cause of the Allies, and promising co operation to hurl BONAPARTE from his throne. From all the documents but one inference could be drawn: that MURAT was acting with equal perfidy to the Al lies and to BONAPARTE. While treating with the Allies, he was also in treaty with NAPOLEON for the sovereignty of all Italy south of the Po. The silence Of BONAPARTE produced his union with Austria ; but even after this he did every thing in his power to thwart the objects of the Allies. In one instance when a Ft Ench corps was shut up in Reggio he so disposed of his own force as to give them an opportunity of escaping ! Our Readers, to form a correct opinion on the curious facts disclosed by these documents, should read the able speech of Lord CASTLEREAGH with great attention. There is only one point more which we can notice in tfiii place :—the claim of 1‘1:: It AT, by his Minister At the Congress, not only to be considered as King of Sicily, but of the Two Sicili:s -This barefaced thief not only desires to have his right to the kingdom of Sicily, which circumstances had put into his hands, confirmed by the Congress, but would have bad the Allies to join in a tubbery to dispossess the rightful Monarch of those parts of his tetritories whirl still remained under his dominion ! Yesterday her MAJESTY, accompanied by Paiaa cesses ELIZABCTiI and NIAIIY, arrived at the Queen's s, Palace from Windsot. In the course 01 tbe day they' ssete visited by the Duke of YOltK, the Duchess of ORLEANS, and a number of Nubility. In the course .of the evening the ?MN/ A; ItEIiENT dined with the goyal Party, and at nine o'clock her MAJESTY had a eel .ct party to tea, etc. It is said that the Ratification of the Treaties of Alliance and Subsidy is arrived, and a Message may be speedily expected Announcing the fact. It appears from the Vienna Papers to the 5'.3J, that the Monarchs then remained in that capital. A Declaration of War against Murat has, it is said, been determiaed upon by our Government, and will be speedily issued. The annual Westminster School Election Dinner was yesterday well attended, and the usual quantity of Latin Epigrams were given as a dessert after dinner. The Rev. P. W. Biamezao was Steward. Alter the dinner the venerable and respected Dean, Dr. VINCENT, made his appearance, and was wel comed with the plaudits he so well merited. THEATIM—After the representation of 1 Riti d'Efeto last night, the beautiful now Anacreon tic Ballet of Oar: ct L' Amour was again presented to the audience, who followed the action of the piece with increased delight, and rapturously applauded the performers through all their varied and grace ful exertions. The union of so many agreeable qualities which characterise this Ballet, gives ample assurance of its continuing a medium of great at traction to the House. The company were elegant • and numerous. _ _ DRURY-LANE.—Mr. BARTI.F.Y male his first ap pearance last night, iu the part of Jobrhornbary,in the comedy of John Bull. The picture of the strung feel ing, blunt sincerity, and fiery temper of the aftcted father and honest tradesman, was highly natural and effective, and in his scene with the proud and worldly Baronet, every speech was delivered with so much point end power., as to produce several rounds of applause. .formsvowe displayed his usual excellence in Dennis Bredlgruddery, and all the other parts were respectably sustained. New POST. OFrice.—The Committee appointed to examine the intended improvements in the Post-nflice have presented their Report, which has been printed. They approve the removal of the Post-office to St. Martin's-le-Grand, at the same time recommending a subsidiary of f ice in Lombard-street or its vicinity, for the convenience of the foreign merchants. The expense of the new building is estimated at £50,000; the value of the ground, &c. to be purchased at £205,162. The Report concludes as follfwvs 6' Witis regard to the principal front of public hu.idings, it may be observed, that whenever the proportions are ill them wives ample, the component parts kept upon a large scale, and the general divisions symmetrically arranged so as to lorm one uni orni design, together with a due attention to the breadth of light and shadow to be produced by the whole, any edifice of cot:utterable event can hardly he destitute ot character and dignity; but that or. tumentat decorations, introductd for the mere purpose of em bellishment, and unconnected w nth tar Hit y, while they prodigiously enhance the cost, rarely produce an effect, in point of elegance or grandeur, which compensate for it. An Office for the receiving anti delivery of Letters, which should be concealed behind a front fit for a palace, and flanked by triumphal arches, would present an incongruity no less offen sive to geoid taste, that* 111CvlIsialeit with rational economy." rifE ARM): 0 NIICESSARTIX—The Army supplied by W. JACK• NAN, No. 11, Cannon-row, Parliament-street, West- mit sten Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was very nume rously attended, there being between 70 and 80 Of ficers, &c. present ; among whom were-- Lieutenant-Generale Sir John Murray, Linsingen, and Haar • mond; Generale Goldie and Morshead; Major-Generals D. Campbell, Deakin, Lumley, andCalcraft ; and the Lord Lieu imam of Ireland. The 23d Dragoons passed along the Kent-road this morning, on their way for embarkation for Belgium. Three troops of the Royal Horse Guards (Blues) and the 59th Regiment, embarked and sailed yester day from Dover for Ostend with a fine wind. Orders have been sent to the Cape of Good Hope to reduce two troops of the 21st Dragoons, stationed there. The West Kent Militia commenced recruiting by beat of drum, in Maidstone and its immediate vici nity, on Thursday last, and in the short space of four days, enlisted upwards of fifty fine young men for that regiment. We understand, that the companies of the several Regiments whose depots are in the Isle of Wight, arc to be formed forthwith into a provisional battalion, sad to be sent to join Field. Marshal the Duke of 'WI:WM:ITO:7'S army in the Netherlands. The 40th Regiment (3d battalion) was last week inspected at Plymouth Dock ; when SO men, who had .received injuries in the Peninsula, were sent to the Veteran Battalion. RAMSOATE, MAY 2.—Sailed last evening for Os. tend the Swift extra packet, with Lord GREENOCK, Permanent Assistant Quarter -Master-General, and several Military Officers of note, on board. His Lordship took over with him in the Swift some of the most beautiful horses we have seen embarked here fin a length of time. Two troops of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) are now embarking for Belgium, and it is thought will get to sea this afternoon's tide: the other two troops of this fine regiment, destined for fo reign service, arc gone to Dover from Canterbury for embarkation.—The Impress Establishment has been re-appoin'ed here, and many valuable hands have been picked up.—Three r. at. A French boat, from Boulogne, with preserved fruit, &c. has just entered our harbour. The people state, that they are taught to believe that no war will take place, though the French Government are arming at all points, as ii war had already commenced. The following has been given as an Address of the National Guard of Amiens to all the National Guards of the Kingdom : • " At a nuubent whim Ilon.iparte, putting in opera:ion all that :mains to hint of hint:llsln: 11L .

Well, flop, let the army defend olterr:' bu rsa are sentimeuts of the National thrall Bonaparte says that the Bourbons arc bringing toreiguei s lieu France. What ! it he had not come to defile our soil, we should still have been at peace with all Europe. " Sebastiant is coining to snake us take up arms. We all swear that if this satellite of Bonaparte enter. our walla with pro-consular powers, and with the design to organize **de grading a measure, shall there find the chastisement due to his crimes; and woe to the traitors who shall dare to second his infamous projects ! " The rallying cry of the National Guards is,' Live the King! Live the Bourbons ! Death to the tyrant, and the bri gands who have supported him In his criminal enterprise!' " Frenchmen, the day approaches whets you will see floating on all your towers the white flag, the flag without stain, the symbol of happiness. LIVE THE KING !" The letters and papers hy the George Canning, trim the River Plate, have been delivered, and they are of the date of February ; from Buen)s Ayres the accounts from the mouth of the river are of the 14th of the month. The following is an extract from one of the letters : " But Nos Atats,Fis. 10. " The north bank of the river is over-run by - aC . hiet called Alta toes, formerly in the service of this Government, but now at war with it. He has devastated the waule of that country, and has handled the Buenos Ayres troops su roughly that it is determined to abandon that side altogether. It is reported, and generally believed, that RONDZAU, who commands the Buenos Ayres troops in Peru, has captured the advanced guard of Piz ut LA,the General of the Royalists, consisting of 1,5U0 men. This success would give him a decided superiority, and enable him shortly to open to us the lucrative commerce of Potosi. there is also a rumour, which however is little credited, that a revolution has taken place at Lima, and that in consequence of it the Viceroy has been expelled." HALIFAX, MARCH 29.---New BLOCKADE.--Tha Spanish Admiral Don JUAN GAVALLO has notified, from Porto Santo, to the British Admiral Dunsta ‘I, thas he has instituted a strict and rigorous blockade of all the ports and places in the Spanish American Provinces of Venezuela, which are occupied by the Insurgents. New York Papers, to the 26th ult. contain the Official Dispatches of the American Military Com manders, relative to the capitulation of Fort Bowyer. The news of the peace arrived soon after the surren der of the fort, which took place on the 11 th of Fe bruary. A detailed account is given of the capture of his Majesty's schooner the Sr. LAWRENCE, Lietre rant J. E GORDON, Commander, by a Baltimore pri vateer of superior force, called the Chasseur. The consequences of the late serious affray at Dart moor Depot have been, orders for the immediate em barkation of the whole of the prisoners, without wait ing for the arrival of vessels Irwin America. The first division embarked at Plymouth, on Thursday las' on board the Brunswick transport, and instantly sailed with a fair wind for their native or adopted country. Many of these captives have expressed a strong desire to remain in England, or to be permitted to go whither they pleased ; but this it has not been thought proper to permit. - Orders have been received at Chatham Dock-yard to get ready immediately ten flat-bottomed boats, and that a similar number should be kept constantly in readiness as 4 part of the estab'ishment of that de partment.
