~.~ 'A' titterers of vain declamations much more circumspect. Ti le English who are at Vienna, and of whom a great number have been at the Island of Elba, are generally, in society, very favourable to the Emperor. They exclaim with indignation against the pretensions of the on the score of legitimacy. I n t h at case. ',I :ay, tin" Stuarts arc our legitimate masters. r . rest. they have at Vienna false ideas of Y :, tlcy suppose that the Emperor has no niore t...in 100,000 men, and '20,000 horses. They d „ no : dispute the attachment of the old soldiers who I:aic seen hint on the field of battle ; but they educe his forces by the deduction of all that be might n ave to leave in stron, . places, on the Alps, on the csts ; and they conclude from thence that he could riot present from Dunkilk to liuningen more than 1 .,), ( x)0 men, and '20,000 horses. This calculation sustains their courage ; and the ;,, , pc of being 6 to 1 makes the only prospect of suc c,.si in a, war into which they wish to precipitate oi:twelves with so much imprudence. In the societies of Vienna I have heard it said, by 7lo n of business, terrified by the fall of the exchange, t. But before we give ourselves up to armaments so upensive, would it not be more natural to propose to Napolew to ratify the Treaty of Paris ? It he does not rainy it, the war at least will have an object : but he is w:lF.eg to ratify it, the war has none." We are assured, at Vienna, that the Archduke Charles has rzfused to t.ike a command : it is coli c', med that he said—" 'rile danger is not on the side of Parse, bat on the side of St. Petersburgh. By :narchiog against Napoleon we should march against all France : the simplest observations prove it. How could it be possible that a man against whom, for a year, so many injurious things have been spread, whom attempts have been made to depreciate in so many manners, could arrive alone and take possession of France, if he had not the whole nation for him 1 will not meddle with this war I see nothing in it but disasters. Sire, said he to his brother, make haste to recognise your son-in-law: send to him his wife and son, and if he ratifies the treaty of Paris, let armaments cease on thc one side and on the other.

In theinselVes these affairs are of importance only in so far as they endanger the entire separation of the Neapolitan te e :u: cos from those of the Allies.;—or in other Words; Cair employment in furtherance of the Schemes of BONAPAitm. We must remark, however, that.it the date of these affairs, the result of the Negotiations NviliCh had been carrying on at Vienna; and which, according to the last accounts froth Vienna—Pee the STAR of Saturdafl—terminated in a new 'Fluty of Alliance between Austria and Naples, I,':Cre not known at the head-quarters of either of :le armies in Italy.

We have given softie ;aati , l;:s among our extracts. Ele Paris Papers hive ceased to mite the public xii.:cution respecting tile return of the EmPums. It •:;:o appears that M. l't.atiAus, who was sent to Anna on that business, returned to Paris on the hilt, with the mortifying intelligence, that NAPO. •E'-'N'b Mid 1-doux could not be received.—The French I.und s on Wednesday left off at 58 and a fraction. A If amburgh Mail arrived this morning, with in :filtence from Berlin of the 15th, and from Vienna t the 10th inst. The King of PRUSSIA has published most spirited Proclamation to his subjects, in whieb •• 'he virtually declares interminable war against )3oNA PARTE and his adherents. At Vienna hopes'are still held out that MURAT will join with the Allies, not withstanding his recent totalities. We select the following extracts: VIENNA, APRIL 10. It is remarkable that Murat, though he has com• menced hostilities, and given our Court notice of it, by a letter from Ancona of the 27th March, repeats his offer of acceding to the alliance against BA:vane, under the considerations which he had previously sub mitted to the Congress by his Ministers Campochiuo and Carioti, as they formerly announced to the Con gress on the 28th March. The sudden commence ment of hostilities is ascribed to the inconsiderate keat and precipitation of Murat, who did not wait for the report of his Ministers upon the proposals which hr ordered them to lay before the Congress; but, upon the unfavourable communication made to him by at. Austrian Courier, who had been dispatched before, immediately took up arms. We are therefore curious to see whether Murat will approve of the Convention concluded by his Plenipo tentiaries with the Allies, which seems the more pro bable, because, notwithstanding the commencement of hostilities, these Plenipotentiaries declared, on the Gth instant, to Prince Metternich, that he would stili make common cause with the AM.:4 if they would recognize him as King of NI/ties. These hostilities with Murat do not cause any great apprehensions here, his army not being above forty thousand strong. Our forces are prepared,to give him a good reception. It is thought in general that he merely takes his advantage of circumstances, to compel tlp Allies to recognize him. Prince Eugene will reside during the war at Daireuth. BERLIN, APRIL. -15. Our Papers contain the following Proclamation 14 When, in the time of danger, I called my people I to arms, to combat for the freedom and independence of the country, the mass of the youth, glowing with emulation, thronged round the standards, to bear with joyful self-denial unusual hardships, and resolved to brave death itself. Then the best strength of the people intrepidly joined the ranks of my brave sol diers, and my Generals led With me into Wale a host of heroes, who have shewn themselves worthy of the name of their fathers, and heirs of their glory. 66. Thus we and our Allies, attendA by victory, conquered the capital of our enemy, our banners waved in Paris—Napoleon abdicated his authority —Liberty was restored to Germany, security to thrones; and, to the world; the hope of a durable peace. This hope is vanished—we must again march to the combat. A perfidious conspiracy has brought back to France the man who, for ten years together, brought down upon the world unutterable miseries. 66 The people, confounded, have not been able to oppose his armed adherents . : though he Itimaseli, while still at the head of a considerable armed force, declared his abdication to be a voluntary sacrifice to tne happiness and repose of Trance ; he now reg:ri ds this, like every other Convention, as nothing ;. he is at the head ut perjured soldiers, who desire to render mar eternal. Europe ii again threatened ; it cannot .suffer the man . to remain on the throne of France, who loudly proclaimed universal empire to be the object of his continually renewed wars, who con founded all moral principles by his continued breach of fahlr, and who can therefore give the world no se entity fur his peaceable intentions. 44 Again, therefore, arise to the combat ! trance itself wants our aid, and all Europe is allied with us. United with your ancient companions in victory ;. re inforced by the accession of new brethren in arms, you go, brave Prussians, to a just war, with me, with the Princes of my family, with the Generals who have led you to victory. The justice of the cause we defend will ensure us the victory. I have ordered a general arming, according to my decree of Sep. tember 8, 1814, which will be executed in all my dotnihions. The army w:11 be completed, the volunteer com- panics of Y.tgers be formei, and the Land&ehr called together. The youth of the chief classes of the citizens, From the age of 20 upwards, are at li berty to join either the Landwehr first called out, or the Yager corps of the regular army. “ Every young man, who has completed his 17th year, nlay, if possessing the requisite bodily strength, join the army at his own choice. I publish a parti cular regulation on this subject. Concerning the for mation of single corps, and of the Land wehr, a notice will appear in every province, from the Constituted Anthorities. " Thus united with all Europe in aro% We again enter the lists against Napoleon Bonaparte, and his adherents. Alin then, with GOO for your support, for the repose of the world, for order, lor morality, fot your King, and your country. (S;gned) •. TtIRDEHICIL WILLIA3I."

The two eldest sons of the King, the Crown Prince, and Prince William, and also their cousin Prince Louis, will make the campaign, and are busy with the necessary preparations ) : but they will stop till the King comes here. It is noticed as a ♦ery probable circumstance, that in the formation' of the Prussian atmy in the field, the garrison of Dresden is taken jab the account. The fine regiment of Hussars raised by the States of Pomerania, passed on the 9th through Magde burg. At Magdeburg so many young Men have offered to march against France, that It is StoepOss'i- 4 ble to clothe them all immediately. ; VIENNA, APRIL to.

All those whO had, been allowed to retire have hastened at the first signal ; they have left wives and children, their homes, their brides, and their parents, knowing that, they belong first to their King and country, and . that at home, the King and his faithful savants will take care of all that is dear to them. " The volunteers hasten in crowds, not only the , youths, but the men ; even 'fathers ofl'.•r themselves,, at the same time, with all their sons. Neither office, nor wife, nor child detain them. The boys would willingly pass for men, that they might be allowed to take the field. The most respectable women volun. tarily offer themselves to attend the Hospitals for the soldiers.

A Proclamation from Lingen complains that a pact of this province is a shameful exception to t: - .e zeal strewn in other parts of the Prussian monarchy ; that bodies of young men, two or three hundred da number, have fled to Holland, and only the qui'c aged are left at home. Severe measures :tre conse quently ordered.. In Hanover the armaments are extremely active ; the Hanoverian army in 13rabar.t will be from 35,000 to 40,000 men. Exchange on London 25. The mnrning we received a Nen-York Paper of the IGth of March, and containing the latest Litchi. Bence from America in town, but the contents are comparatively uninteresting. " CIIARLIsTom, MARCII s.—The United States schooner Al ligator, arrived here on Saturday ever' ig, in three days from Cumberland Island, where she had beer" with a disratelt front Major-General PancsNcv, announcing to Admiral COC/011:RN the cessation of hostanies.

" The British acknowlidge the loss of about ?O in and wounded in a predatory eapedition is the Savannah : one Mid shipman died of his wounds and was buried on Wedmsday last on Cumberland " The Captain of a bomb ship aad the Captain of the Primrose brig, were both b idly wounded. " There had b en no reinforcement of troops at Cunt berlard their while force wis said to be from Ili to 1800 men." Mr. LABPENT, on the part of the British Govein. ment, and Mr. KIN . G, (son of Rut•us KING, Esq. of New York,) have proceeded to Dartmoor Prison, to investigate the circumstances leading to die late un fortunate event at that prison, whereby 67 Americans were killed and wounded. Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which s.-it till about halt past three. At the breaking up of the Council, Vis count CASTLEREAGH waited upon the PRINCE RE* GENT at Carlton House, with the result of their deli. beratioas. At a late hour, on Saturday night, Vis count CASTLEREAGH summoned another Meeting of the Cabinet for yesterday. They met at the same place at three o'clock, and broke up at a quarter be fore five. Yesterday, soon after three o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT visited the Duchess D'Amuouteme, at the French Ambassador's house, in Portman-square.— The REGENT remained with the Duchess near two hours. Saturday the Duke of Oncenns had a long inter view with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER at his hone in Downing-street. Yesterday, abcut eleven o'clock, Mr. DOUGLAS ar rived in town, in a chaise and four, with dispatches from Bru►sels, &c. The LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience yesterday morning of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. Lord BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, in returning from the House of Peers on Friday, through the Park, was thrown from his horse and severely bruised. After the stormy discussion on lriday night is the House of Commons, Mr. WHITBREAD crossed Il HOLM, and shook hands with Lord CASTLEREAGH, and they walked out together. The Papers relative to Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK'S instructions, whilst acting on the coast of ltAly, wrie on Friday night laid before the Howe of Cominons. The general substance of these Papers authorises the British Commander to encourage the efforts of the Italians to shake of their yoke, and to assist them with arms, &e. for that purpose ; but not to encou• rage them to any premature exertion, which pruelen dal considerations might not justify s he was not to embody any Italian troops under the pay of Great Britain. The Heads of Colleges have determined, that, is consequence of the fever at Cambridge, it is not expe dient that the under-graduates should return to Col lege before the 40th of May.

The last arrival from Ostend was the Britannica packet, who came in here yesterday evening in rich: hours : she brings no news. The Couri:T from Tors. who landed here on the 17th instant, arrived from Landon to-day on his return with dispatches for that capital, and will proceed to Ostend. He embarked 011 board the Union, GRANT.

A million and a half of ball-cartridges were shippld on Monday, from the ordnance wharf at Chatham, for Belgium. There has been a rumour in town for these two days, that the Duke of WELLisoroN came over last week, incog. from Ostend, and had a conferexce with the PRINCE REGENT and Ministers on Friday We do not know the fact; but it is universally,c ported. He was certainly at Ostend in the beginning of the week. By arrivals from Havre at Portsmouth, we learn that the soldiets there are very discontented ; above 200 had deserted frcim the only regiment of the line in the place (the 88th)-500 National Guards had been ordered to Paris, but after going about ten miles they anew away their arms and dispersed. The whole gatrison of Havr?, we ate positively assured, does not exceed MO men—a few guns are mounted, but the place altogether is by no means prepared for a sudden attack. The frigate building has been launch ed, and is certainly a very line ship of her class-- Having felt the serious effect upon their conimetce, the inhabitants deprecate Bosaeattre in the severe s t manner, nor are they at all reserved in the:: t emu.
