Letters from Lille of the 17th state, that there is a great spirit of desertion in the troops in Artois and Picardy ; there are frequently bloody disputes among the troops in garrisou at Lille, and the cry of rive le 1:21 is often heard. thauat Trivulzio, :could scarcely have held to.l w thou ; and proclaims himself the chief of the Italian nation, which has within itself dynasties that have reigned for ages, and which has seen spring up in its finest countries that august family which pater nally governs sn many nations. He, King of the ex tretne part of Italy, wishes, under specious ideas of natural limits, to present to all the Iti.lians the phan tom of a kingdom, of which he cannot even fix the capital. precisely because nature has fixed, with sepa-, rate limits, separate governments to the different por tions of Italy ; and has shewn, that it is not extent of territory, number of population, nor force of arms, but good laws, the conservation of old habits, and an economical administration, which form the happiness of nations ; and hence it is that in Lombardy and in 'Tuscany the immortal names of Maria Theresa, of Joseph and of Leopold, are still recollected with sen timents of admiration and gratitude. " The King of Naples, not satisfied with deceiv ing the multitude with the dream of independence, wishes also to lead the most unthinking of the Italians into error, by persuading them that the very Powers which are already renewing with admirable prompti tude the most formidable armaments by sea and land, and who, in a few days, will give the win* world a new proof of their indissoluble union in the same principles; have a secret disposition to second his plans ; as if Italy, governed by him, could call itself independent, and as if the Powers did not now know better than ever that there can he neither peace nor truce with him who does not respect his promises, nor is sensible to the generosity of conquerors. 64 The benefits conferred by the Emperor Francis the First on the whole Italian army, none of whose component parts have been left without honourable', means of existence, and which are also extended to the numerous class of civil servants; the paternal cares with which, without regard to political opi nions or past conduct, the Austrian Government, since its restoration in Italy, has endeavoured to mac all parties, and to consider all as his children, follow ing the same paternal course even towards the Snlill number of those who were misled ; all these facts are so notorious, that they at once destroy die calumnies propagated with such emphasis in the ProclamatiOn of the King of Naples. " Inhabitants of Lombardy! the Austrian Govern ment, naturally sincere, and systematically veracious, has promised you tranquillity, good order, a paternal administration : it will keep us promises. Call to mind the happy times anterior to 1796, the institu tions of Maria Theresa, of Joseph 11. of Leopold, and compare their system of government with that which was subsequently imposed on you, and which, founded on the wile principle:, announced %skit the same falsehoods, is now held out to you as an obj.:ct of hope, and a motive for new efforts. " Your too ready credulity to the promises of French democracy has already caused your ruin ; be now more prudent, because, with the experience of the pat, your folly will be more serious ; and co operate under all circumstances, with the docility of your character, with that reflescion the fruit of intel ligence, and that attachment to your Sovereign sa worthy of your heart, for the m tietenance of order, and the defence of the country and the throne. (Signed) " SELLEGARDL, 6 ' Field Mai 431 and Governor-General." All the advices hom Italy announce that the Kiiig of Naples continues to advance. 're arellers who have arrived from Milan state, liac an Aid de Camp of the Emperor of Austria, who had lest Vienna on the evemi g (f the day when intelligence was re ceived there of the debarkation of the Emperor Na poleon, was the bearer to King Joachim of the for mal declaration, that the Allied Powers could no longer recognize him as a legitimate Sovereign. The King, with whom Austria had cancluded a year ago treaties the most sacred, treaties to which almost the whole of the great Powers had acceded, considered this proceeding as a formal declaration of war. Next day he put himself at the head of his army, and openly attacked those who wished to deprive him of his crown. Every where the Italian people have re ceived hint with open arms. Marshal Brune has set out to take the command of an army of 'observation, consisting of 30,000 amen, who are assembling at Antibes. The plan of the new constitution was finished this evening. It will be published next Sunday. An army of 40,000 men is assembling in the en virons of Chambery. General Girard had already established his head-quarters in that city on the 15th instant. Marshal Grouchy was immediately expec ted there. In the vicinity of Befort a corps of observation of more than 25,000 men is assembling, under the corn i mild of Liectenant-General Lecourbe. Count Chaptal is appointed Director of Commerce and Manufactures. A Guernsey lugger, on the 15th, anchored in St. Maloe's roads. Tile Captain reports, that the Gover nor, who had just received the L ondon mail, told hint that the Emperor's courier had been received, that the Ministers were assembled, and that there was no talk of any thing but peace at London. He adds, that two French vessels, stopped off the Garnnne, had been released by order of Government. Phis news caused the most lively satisfaction at St. Maio. The people and seamen are intoxicated with jay. FLORENCE, APRIL 11. On the 30th ult. there was a skirmish at St. Laiare between the Neapolitans and Austrians. The latter fell back, abandoning their baggage. The Austrians have since continued their retreat, pursued by General Carascosa. On the 31st, the King of Naples reached Forli, and, on the Ist inst. he moved his head-quar ters to Faenza. The troops with which the King of Naples arrived at Rimini consisted of from 33 to . 34,000 men. The Austrians are forming a conside rable encampment between Bologna and Modena. Aram s.—Yesterday, after the arrival of • courier, the Grand Duke, our Sovereign, quitted this capital, accompanied by Prince Rospigliosa, and repaired to Pisa. This morning the following Proclamation was posted up : 66 ' His Imperial and Royal Highness has given no cause to any power to be at war with him. The Ne - Hlitan troops are, nevertheless, entering his States. is Highness thinks it his duty to remove t,, a dis tance from these troops, being ignnrant of the ooject of their movement, inasmuch as it is contrary to the formal declarations of their Sovereign. He intends, however, unless circumstances shouid render it ni.- , ceseary, nut p ciuit his Stales. i3ut, at all event, his • • Highness will find his cessolution in the rectitude ot his conduct, in the remembrance of his dear subjectr, and in the assurance that he will live in their heart during his momentary absence.

THR AUSTRIAN ARMY IN I - - - - - - 4 4 Field-Marshal Lieutenant Bianchi having taken the command of a part of the corps which occupied the Legations, executed with the glearest order, in the face of the Neapolitan army, the retreat which had been prescribed him. Finding himstil upon the Eutaw, in an advantageous position, though his forces consisted of only tour battalions, four squa drons, and one battery, he thought it becoming the honour of our arms not to continue his retreat with out fighting. On the 4.:11, thetetore, he suspended his march, opposed the enemy on the great road to Modena, and rerilsed A Neapolitan column filed oft on his right on the side of Spilunberto, and took him in fl loft ; but it not succeed in this mt nceuvre, for it was repulsed, avid forced to retire.— The main body of the Netip:ilitan army having come up, the Feld Marshal continued his retreat upon Carpi, where he arrived on the 5,11. We have not yet any details of tins action, and it is therefore im posihle to determine our loss, which the Field-Mar- shal represents as trifling. That of the enemy in killed and wounded was considerable : we took, be sides, 100 prisoners; and the Neapolitan General Filangieri was left mortally wounded on the field of battle. - 44 Baron Frimont has published the following Order of the Day : " Head•quartera at Piadena, April 6. 66 The King of Naples has violated our territory with an armed force, and commenced hostilities with out any previous declaration of war. At the same time that I announce to the army this unworthy con- 1 duct, wholly contrary to the law of nations, I com municate to it also the first successes of the war which has begun.—[Here faliows the above Bulletin]. — The troops, in ho have ever maintained the honour of our arms, will regard this first success as the harbinger of more important and more decisive victories. 46 The General of Cavalry, Commander-in-Chief of the Italian army, 66 FIUMONT." ITALY, APRIL & By the last accounts from Vienna, his Imperial Highness Archduke Ferdinand of lisle will have a cpmmand in Italy. In a few days we shall have along _the Po strong columns of troops - from Austria and Hungary. The Prince of Peace arrived at Venice on the 3d. FRANKFURT', APRIL 16. The Archduke Charles is expected here tomorrow. They write from Manheim, that Prince Wrede will fix his head-quarters there on the 19th. An Austrian Courier from Vienna brings the ac count, that news had been received there of two bloody actions in Italy. The Austrians have re pulsed the Neapolitans, taken from them 300 pri soners, and four pieces of cannon, and killed one General and many Officers. VIENNA, APRIL 10. The head-quarters of Prince Schwartzenberg broke up on the Bth, and will be at Ratisbon on the the ta+th. The Prince is expected to leave this city on the 20th. Prince Charles sets out on the 12th for MAntz.— The bead-quarters of the Austrian army, as well as the Bureaux, go the stale tray to Ulm. it is sup posed that Baron Stein will have an important situa tion in the administration cf the armies. The Arch duke Jel►n will shortly go to Italy, where he will visit the fortresses. Fresh r‘. invents arrive daily from Moravia and Gallicia.—They have all more than their full com plement.

PARIS, APRIL 19. The Minister at War has testified the satisfaction of the Emperor to G.nerals Grouchy, Laborde, Gilly, Pire, Corbineau, Lasalcette, and Chabert, who have contributed, by their conduct, so effectually to prevent a civil war. Lasalcette and Chabert have been named Lieutenant-Generals. An article from Vienna, of the 6th inst. says that the Prussian General ZAstrew had been appointed Inspector-General of the troops of the Germanic Confederation. The King of Bavaria and Prince Eugene Beau hirnois arrived at Munich on the (..t.h instant from Vienna. It is reported that General Flahaut was arrested on the Gth at Stuttgard. The King of Wurtetnberg assembled his Council, at which the Ambassadors nt Austria, Russia, and England assisted. The result was, that General Flahaut was released, and had set out on his return to France. A report from Count Lemarois, Superior Com mandant of the 14th and 15th military divisions, says that the Eridanus frigate had detained several French vessels, and sent them into Plymouth. The Admiralty. declared that the Captain of the frigate had no authority to detain them, and they were forthwith released. The master of a galliot received £lO from the Admiralty as au indemnity for his detention. ------------ PONT ST. ESPRIT, APRIL ts. The Duke of Angouleme is go% ! off for Cette, where he will embark in a Swedish vessel provided fur that purpose. General ltadet accompanies him. It was necessary to use great precautions to put the life of this Prince out of all danger. The people are indignant at the exactions and vexations of all kinds committed in his name riming his ephemeral govern ment in Languedoc. The Duke of Angouleme has contracted an en gagement not to re-enter France, never to approach within 6t)4eagues of the frontiers, to enter into no machinations against France, and to obtain from the Count de Lille the restitution of the Crown diamonds. MILAN, APRIL 9. It is repvted here that General Bianchi has been surrounded by the Neapolitans in superior force, and that he lost from four to 5W° men in an affair upon the T.tro. We have no advices from any part beyond the Po, except Genoa. It appears, beyond doubt, that Parma is in the possession of Joachim. The Austrians are entrenching themselves upon the Po. Lord Bentinck has gone to Mantua. Joadiiin issues proclamations, inviting all Italy to arm for its independence. He calls the English a great and liberal nation, but accuses the Germans of pet fitly. ANOTHER ARTICLE OF THE; SAME DATA. Hostil.ties commenced on the 4th, in the vicinity of Modena. The advantage of the first attack was on the side of the Neapolitans, who, it is said, have passed the Po at Ferrara, and occupied Padua. The Monikur contains a long report from General Grouchy, giving a detail of all his operations against the Royalists under the Duke of Angouleme. It also contains a report from Massena, of the 14th in. stant, to Bonaparte. It commences by stating, that his Majesty's orders had experienced insurmountable delays in the situation in which he was placed, in consequence of the movements excited by the pre sence of the Duke lof Agouleme, by the bad com position of the Civil Authorities, the continuance of the intercourse of the Royal Agents with Foreign Ministers, Sec. The Duke, he says, had taken three regiments from him, and wished to carry off the rest; and caused M. Riviere to inform the Marshal, that it was his Royal Highness's intention to place Toulon in the hands of .ngland, who wculd, in return, ad. vance money to the King of France. In this situa tion, after placing Antibes in a state of siege, he re. turned to Toulon, in order to preserve that place and the fleet for the Emperor. He then goes on to relate his proceedings, on learning, on the 10th, that the soldiers at Avignon had remounted the na tional cockade. A letter from the Maritime Prefect of Toulon states, that on the morning of the 11th the tri-colour ed flag was hoisted by the squadron there. PARIS, APRIL 20. On Tuesday night the Emperor was at the Opera. He entered his box unexpectedly, and was received with loud acclamations. The Milan Gazelle of the Bth contains the follow ing Proclamation, and confirms the news, given by several of our Journals, of the attack of the Austrian troops by the King of Naples, and the advantage gained by that Prince ; PROCLAMATION. Milan, April 5, 181 5. " Europe had scarcely begun to recover from its wounds, and the Powers assembled at the Conkress of Vienna were employed in laying the foundations of a 1 •ng peace, when an unforeseen event has again summoned all nations, already instructed by expe rience of the ambition of a single man, to take up arms. Amidst this momentary disorder, Italy might have hoped to remain tranquil, and for her defence alone numerous troops had already come from Ger many ; but the King of Naples, at last throwing off the mask which saved him at a most dangerous pe riod, without declaration of war, for which he was unable to assign any just motive, against the faith of his treaties with Austria, to which alone he owes his political existence, threatens again with his armies the tianquillity of this fine Italy; and not satisfied with introducing all the plagues of war, he endea vours every w here to.light up, under the pretence of Italian independence, the devastating fire of the ge. volution, which formerly smoothed for him the road to pass from the obscurity of private life to the splen dour of a throne.— fie, who is in indeed us much a stranger in Italy as he is new in the rank of Kings, he affects towards the Italians which an Alexander Yapese, an Aadrew Doria, q: he cc ill CI 111 SC CI TS CI te 0 J J
