One the would exclude, becaufe it is ton diftant ; another, hecanfe it is feparated be an arm of the fea from the Continent ; and evading an a nfwer to the remonfirances of the Powers nearest the danger, offerable, troops on their frontiers, and i t, c atens them with a rupture if they place them in a flee of defence. Under inch cireumflances, it becomes neceffary Ca other Powers to arm, to fupport each other, and to *loin in maintaining their own, and the general fe i:y. Thus the military preparations of the Court (t. Vienna are provoked by the preparations of France, as well as by her negleft of all means of fecuring and maintaining a true peace, and future tranquillity. All Europe knows the fit!cerity of the with for peace which his Imperial Majefty has difplayed, and the pananality wherewith he has fulfilled the obligations of the Treaty of Loneville ; that fince sity cannot fail to be recognized in the great con eeffions made in confequence of the injurious et tenfion given to that Treaty in Germany, and in the not lets great moderation with which his Im perial Majefly has condueled himfelf on the firll depastnre of the French republic from that treaty, in refpea to the concerns of the other Republics.— While thefe changes were afcribed to the neceffity of (miring from all danger the difclofere of the plans for the refloration of Monarchical Government in France, his Majefly made net difficulty to recognize the Rate of things which towards the end of the year ski, was eflabliffied in Italy. His Majelly's confi dence in the views of the Fird Conful was confirm ed by she obligations which the latter owed to the Italian Republic in his chandler of Prefident, by his frequent and folemn afl'uranees, before and after his elevation to the Imperial dignity, that he was fat from entertaining any plans of farther aggrandife oleo! or of encroachment on the independence of the Italian State , . In fine, by the pledges which be had given to the Emperor f ruflia, particularly with te- IpeEl to the indemnification of the King of Sardinia, and the a. ncral arrangement of the affairs of Italy. All t'iere confederations concurred in exciting and el.erifhing in his Majefly's bofom the hope that the confolidation of the new Empire of the French would fpeedily bring back the policy and proceedings of its Government to a fyflem of deportment compati ble with the balance of power and the fafety of Eu rope ; and fcme time after, when the &It reports of new-meditated changes in the States of Lombardy, induced the Ambaffador from the Court of Vienna, at Paris. to demand explanations upon this ruble& ; his Majefly, by the official affurance communicated in the name of the Emperor NAPOLEON, was con firmed in his hopes-that the Italian Republic would not he united with France, and that no, innovation fhould take place which might prove injurious to its political independence. Europe will decide whether thefe promifes have been fulfilled. The Emperor has not ceafed to de mand their execution, as the correfpondence evinces, which took place between the two Governments, and alfo the official and oftenfible propofitions which were transmitted to the Amhafrador, Count Pateir Co• stwrzr : and though the Notes in which the Em peror Naronson communicated his intentions as to the eßablifliment of a kingdom of Italy, were ac companied with threats and military preparations; though every thing, atthe very time, indicated what events have fince confirmed, that the Emperor of the French was refitived to accomplifh thefe innovations by force, his Majelly, neverthelefs, did not remon &ate againtt difpothione, which were announced to him as nothing more than a provifional arrangement. He retied fatisfied with refuting the charges which furnifbed a pretext for thole menaces, and with ex preffing his hope, that the principle of feparation and independence, which had been cnnfecrated by the treaty, fhould be carried into complete execution by the definitive arrangements, which the Emperor NAPOLEON left to depend upon ulterior negociations, with the Courts of St. Peterlburgh and London, at the period of the re-eflabliffiment of peace. There nerciations were, in fad, the only hope which remained ro his Majefly of fucceeding, by con ciliatory means, in maintaining peace, and ultimately ro tame repot to Europe, which, from its northern to its R.uthesn extremity, laboured under alarms ex cited by entetprizes, which momentarily increafed, both in number and magnitude. His Majelly the Emperor of the French had made a pacific overture to the King of England, in terms which pretended to preclude the latter from the right of taking any concern in the important interells of the Ccutinent. This reftriftion, combined with the relations existing between the King of England and rhe Court of St. Peterfburgh, induced his Britannic Majeßy to have recourfe to the mediation of his Ma- Jeßy the Emperor of Raffia. Notwithliandins the tufpenfion of all official relations with France, his Ma ietty did not hefitate to employ his mediation, to.dif patch an Ambarador for that purpofe, and to make application to the Sovereign of Frar.ce to furniih him (e;:h parports. The hopes, however, to which there pacific Reps gave birth, fpeedily vanilhed. At the very moment -Then the requifne patfports were tranfmitted to the R 'Zan Negotiator, to enable him to proceed on his journey to France, Er& attacks were made on the political exiltence of other independent (bites in Ita ly. From that Whitt the Emperor Alexander con ceived that his charafler mull have been compro. mired as a mediator. On the other hand, French armies were rapidly affembled in Italy, without any regard to the promifes given that no military prepa fhould take place in that country. An en campment of thirty thoufand men in the plain of Ma , :ago was fpeedily followed by another encampment of lorry thoufand on the frontiers of the Tyrol and t!.e Auftro-Venetian provinces. His Majefly thus sound himfelf under the neceffity of providing, with ( ut delay, for his own fafety. He was now convinced 111.,t his pacific, friendly, and moderate fentiments, r ere not met by fuch fentiments on the part of his : 1 4it'ay the Emperor of the French, as to permit • ?• 117 m any lotger to negleSt taking the ttezfrary rn'sa fures for *getting his jail rights, and Maintaining the dignity of his Empire • This is the cattle of his prefent armament. The fame ditpofitions, however, which made his Majelly fo anxious to avoid a recurrence to filch meafures, have alfo determined their precife object. The Em peror arms not with hotlile views; he arms not to operate a diverfum againti a landing in England.— Betides. the execution of this defcent, after two years menaces, dnes not teem to be exactly calculated for the moment when France provokes Aullria and Rot (is, by enterprizes which have no relation whatever to the quarrel whh Great Britain. The Emperor arms for the maintenance of the peace trifling be tween him and France. He arms for the mainte nance of thofe.pacific ftimdations, without which this peace roold become illufory, and to attain the jntl eqmpoife which depends on the moderation of all the Powers interelled, and which is calculated to fecore die balance and the permanent tranquillity of Eorope. . • „ . . The Rep by which his Majefly has at the fame time invited all the. Courts interelled to renew the negotiations which have been broken off, is direeted to the fame (Ned. The unexpeded releeinn which his interpolition has experienced on the part of his Majefly the Emeetor of the French, does not prevent him from renewing that invitation. . He has been more fortunate in his application to, the Emperor Atxsaisa. This Monarch, wh o fills t fo lionourabk and diflinguilhed a place in the gen . ate of the Powers of Europe ? whole equality and general profperity form the objeas of his contlant folicitude, teßifies, in the anfwer which. he has tracf mined, and which is hereto annexed (vide fuppr) a fimillir with with that of his Majelly; for the ; conch,. Pion of a jull and moderate arrangement. He is alio convinced of the neceffity of an eventual armament ; and, on account of the dillance which he has to Oafs, in order to fop Port the caufe of juflice and the iffile of his moderation, he feels it to be his duty to caufe a part of his troops to 4dvance, for the purpofe of ' conferring on the Paid mediation all the importance and all tbe effe/t which are worthy offo great a Power. As a demotillration of the reaitude of the fend ments entertained by the two Imperial Courts cf Autlria and Raffia, it is hereby formally declared in the name of both : That they are read] to enter into a Negotiation with France, for maintaining the Peace of the Con. tinent on the molt moderate terms which are compa tible with the general tranquillity iswcl fecurity : That whatever (ball be the Me of the Negocia tions, and even Ihould thd commencement of Willi- ties become unavoidsble, they, at the fame time, pledge tbemfelves to abilain from every proceeding tending to interfere with the internal concerns of France; or / to alter the Rate of poffeffion, and the legallye:ifting relations in the German Empire or•, in the flighteft degree, to injure the rights or interefts of the Ottoman Porte, the integrity of whore Domi nions they are, on the contrary, prepared to defend to the utmoft of their power: Finally, that the fentitnents of Great Britain are conformable with thole herein expreffed, and that the has difplayed the fame moderate difpofition for the reftoration of Peace between her and France. His Majelly hopes that this fincere and frank de claration will ferve to remove any doubts which his Majeßy the Emperor NAPOLEON may entertain re (peeing his views and motives. His Majefly will he happy, and his higheft with will be gratified, if this Declaration tend to prevent thole misfortunes which it is not his power alone to avert from mankind. I LONDON.

We alls mentioned that the extra& s from the Mo niteur, of t ith May and r9th Juoe, referred to in the Refcript, related to the troops afremhled at Marengo and Calliglione. Want of room, and the latenefs of the hour at which thefe documents reached us, pre vented our laying. any more of them before our Readers yefierday. The Monitenr of the r rth May Rated that, in the camp of Marengo, there were afTembled thirty batta lions of infantry of the line, four battalions of light infantry, and (even fquadrons of cavalry. The other article from the camp of Caßiglione, dated the t 3th of June, fays, " at the moment of our arrival, forty-eight battalions of infantry, and forty-five fqua_ drops of cavalry, with filly pieces of cannon, are ez ercifing in the immenfe Plain of Montechiaro. France never had better troops, which performed ' their exercife more readily, or were animated with a better fpirit. If you fee this camp, after that of Ma rengo, and know, that we have, independent of thefe, a divifion at Genoa, another at Florence, and a third in Naples, you will find that we have at this moment a greater army in Italy than ever, without reckoning the corps of Italian troops, which is forming under the eye of its Mailer, and appear to be animated with a defire to render itfelf worthy of its Sovereign." The " Declaration:" above alluded to, comprize the following ofocuments s.

A Declaration delivered at Vienna on the 3 tit of Augult by Count RA3OO MOV MY. the Ruffian Envoy. Laftly.a fecood Declaration from the Court of Vienna to that of France. which was fent froinYientia to Path the 3d of September. Such of the above important papers as have not yet been laid before our readers, we have given in the preceding columns. The movements which have taken place among the troops of the Continental Powers gave fufficient indi 7 cationof the approach of hankies, but, taken along with the official documents now before the public, no room appears left for the flightell hope, that Europe will gain a ploper degree of fecurity againft the tur lialence and rapacity of the Frcnch, without an ac- Hal appeal to arms. Betides thefe state Papers, we have received other details of movements among the armies, of a nature fimilar to thole we gave yellerday,,but want of room obliges us to defer them. One circumftance, how ever, ought to be Hated, as it is very important : By our private advice' we are informed, that a b oocr Ruillans have atWally landed at Strablfund, near which place 25,000 Swedes are encamped. The French troops, on their march from Hanover, gave loofe to every excels, plundering indifcriminately all the places through which they paned; and corn. muting all the enormities which marked their memo rable retreat from Franconia. Previous to their departure, they extorted a fum of money from the Senate of Hamburgh. BIitKADOTT . II made, by.Bouatimrs, a demand of a million of rix.dollars, offering for that futit to eva cuate Itixhuttle and Cuxhaven. The Senate refuted the money. The demand was then reduced to soo,ooo dollars. Thi Senate fill pleaded inability. Bova . - ISPINT came down in his demand to 300,000 dollars, and Willed en having this rum, with menaces whith the Senate no longer judged it fate to defpire. The money was paid. BERNADOTTI was no foonet fore of it, than he m arched woo of his trbors into Cux haven, on pretence that it would be frized by the Enemies of Franceif ht fhotild teave it without fuch proteilion Such is that conflant violatioit of faith, fuels that difregard of all the Laws of Peace and 'War, by which AONAPAILTI has railed all Europe in arms againft the Nation whofe Government he ufurpr A letter from Paris, of the 14th infant, lays— " With the exception of 5,000 men, all the troops of the garrifori here and of the Emperor's houlhold, were ordered to march for the Rhine left Tuefday, and left us left Thurfday. The Emperor himfelf intended to follow yeflerday, but not only his journey has been deferred, but 4,0c0 of the troops returned unexpeaedly laft night, and are quar tered the barracks nearef the palace of the Thu illeries. Among a people more curious than I well affeSed, thefe occurrences have caufed new rumours of a confpiracy againit BONAPARTI, and re ports of the arrell of tome Generals, Paid to be {hut up in the Temple. There rumours, and thefe re ports, deferee, however, but little confidence." We know not whit degree of credit is due to this letter; but we are inclined to think BONAPAITS has encountered Tome alarm. General FRZRII, it is hid, has been atrefted, and the chirge again& him is, that he has been carrying on a correfpondcnce with the Ruffian Government. The rumour of .a new Coalition is again revived. We know not the authority on which it reds, unlefs it be Mr. Fox's unexpeded arrival in town from Nor folk. laMr. GARLICEP t his Majeßy's Minißer at Copen hagen, and Baron CoartLam, from Sweden, arrived in town on Wednefday, with important communica tions to Government. Two Meirengers from Ruin* alfo reached town at the fame time. _ _ .

Lieutenant of the FORWARD gun brig at Yarmouth. We yellerday received the following letter from an Officer on board Adm. Cou.swcwooes fleet, dated " OfF CADIZ.
