Mr. LYALL the Messenger, who arrived yesterday in nine days from Vienna, has brought intelligence that a skirmish has actually taken place in Italy be tween the advanced guard of MURAT'S army and that of the Austrians. The fact is more than pro ()Able, for i has also been mentioned in the French F irms ; but it may have been without orders on either side, and may still admit of adjustment without either party being committed. We cannot, however, dis guise our tears, that it will soon be put beyond dis. puce that MURAT takes part with BoNaraltrz. The Note from the Plenipotentiaries of the King of NA- mu to Lord CAsuLttk.:Aon, given in another column, slows th.tt so Lite as the 11th of February, MURAT's Minister at Vienna had not received such an answer as he was solicitous to obtain respecting the guarantee of his master's sovereignty. We yesterday mentioned a fact, which sheers that. not in Italy only have the outposts come to blows. We have si,ice got more full particukrs t—The 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons, on their march along the rroni-r from Ostend towards Lisle, were sur- prised by x party of French troops, which had con• eealed themselves in the woods by the road side, and several were killed and wounded on the first onset ; but the British recoveling themselves, became in their turn the assailants, when the French fled, were pursued, and the whole of them cut to pieces, no quar.er being given. • These little skirmishings are in themselves of no importance—if on both sides they have been the un authorised act of the military. But, on the other hand, it they have been the effect of Orders from either of the Governments, the die is cast, and Europe will again be deluged in blood. The private letters received within these two days from ditlerent parts of the Continent are interesting. It appears by letters from Italy, that the news of boNAi'ARTE's march to Paris had created much alarm. This, and die movements of Mve:ves army, WAS soon followed hy the flight of the Pope and his Cardinals from Rom* in quest of safer quarters.— Among those put to much personal incoa:venience by the late events' we have to mention her Royal Highness the PRINCESS of ‘VALES.—For the means of removal—a parlay little vessel, she was indebted to Mr. HOPE. Our Correspondent at Leghorn, it? letter tl4cal the 30th ult. states, that a line of battle ship belong. 1 1 ing to the King of NAPLES, having 1000 troops on board, WAS laying in the roadstead, and it was gene rally suspected th it an atieinpt would be mAtie to laud them, and take i,osseasion of the town ; a British 74 was also their, watching her 'notions, and an action was expected btawcen them every moment. We are concerned to state, that, according to let- tern froth well inhumed persons in several parts of Germany, the populace are far from exhibiting that aVersion to the French that might have been ex pected.—This feeling is ascribed to the taxes which have necessarily been imposed to windy the French dilapidations when they were in the country : besides, when the French were among then► they lev?ed the it contributions only directly on the rich, and Made the odium of the collection fail on them ; and Vk e believe that in some places those of the rich who have the power have been, as might be expected, endeavouring to recover a part at least of their losses from the gi neral community. The effect of this on utenfot tiled minds is what might have been anticipated, had the possibility of such a crisis as the present been con temphated. On the other hand we know by authentic accounts from France, that in France also the popular feeling runs counter to that of the rulers respecting 'Mihaly services. in many districts the Decrees for calling out the young men of 1813 and 1814 , are openly set at nought. The youths do not, as formerly, abscond, but they positively refuse to Match. We are assured, by a Gentleman who left Calais only on last Sunday afternoon, that whilst he was pre sent on the morning of that day, seven gen-d'atmes arrived, to aid the pol►ce in compelling the young men of that town (upwards of an himdred) to join the army, in conformity to the decree just published.— Their names were all enrolled according to the cus tom of the French, and many of them were at home and easily found, but not one of them would consent to proceed with the gen.d'armes. The Mayor cf the town sent for the parents of the young men, and in timated to them the ill consequences that might at tend their refusal to march ; •but all remonstrances were in vain, and not a soldier was obtained. Gene neral VANDAMAII, who had come from Dunkirk, was •m the spot, and reviewed at Calais the 56th regiment, which is well clothed and equipped, and comprised ,t tine young men. This regiment, which consisted of 1200 men a fortnight ago, has now been reduced ;o 1050 by desertions alone, notwithstanding the gates are lucked every evening, and that it would ap• pear they !Lid no mc.ins of. escape except by sea. BoNApAirre will, therefore, experience great difli _ulties in bringing troops into the field. However, he s very active, as also his adherents. The French are now collecting a large :w i mp at Amiens—forty thou sand Men are assembling in the neighbourhood of Valenciennes; and at Strasburgh preparations are making for the reception Of eighty thousand soldiers. By our private letters we fini that a prActice, which we thought had been confined to our own gambler in the public Funds, is not uncommon , on the Conti nent. Bets have been taken At some of ihe Continental co urts, that before the end of September next the Sd. vereigns in Europe will, in Congress, acknowledge NAPOLEON as Sovereign of France. A file of Philadelphia papers to the le2th ultimo, reached our Office at a late hour this forenoon. The extracts from the Washington and New York Journals have been anticipated by preceding arrivals from those places, and the local articles of intelligence are nut worth extracting. Private letters, brought by the same opportunity, mention, that it had been deemed expedient to send out a larger force against the Algerines than was at first intended. The expedition has of course been delayed. It would appear that the Algerines. apprised of the meditated attack upon their shores, had had recourse to formidable precantionny measures—their fleet is strong, and their forts and castles along the coast in a better state irt defence than was at first supposed. The Americans seemed to t ntertain confident hopes that they would be joined in their laudable attempt to crush the pirates, by several European Powers. FRENCH PAPER S . MILAN, APRIL 1. p (T ips of the Neapolitan army has occupied R„ nie . The Pope left the capital on the 22d, after a ppointing a Junta of State. Murat demanded pas sage for two divisions of his troops through the Papal territories, which heft refused as a •iolation of neu trality, led to these hostile measures.

S FRASBURGH, APRIL S. it appears singular that on the other side of the Rhine, rive P Enrperesr is cried, as well as in the heart of France. 1 was the other day on the bridge of Kehl, and I heard the Bavarians shouting it. In the south of Germany, the Prussian yoke is insupporta. hle, and this country is on the eve of a great revo lution. APRIL S.—Count Rapp has published an Order of the D.ty, in which lie says, " If foreigners trouble our peace, you will prove to them that you have not ctasid to be the first soldiers in the world,—an honour which you owe to those heroes who fond ict.Nl you from the cataracts of the Nile e'en t the banks of the Mokwa." BRUSSELS AND FRANKFORT PAPERS. VIENNA, APRIL 1. The Archduchess Maria-Louisa has indeed changed her liveries, but they still are green and blue, which ire the colours of Parma. It was, therefore, a mis t.ike when she was stated to have taken the livery of the Archdukes; she drove out that day in a carriage f the Archduke's, to escape the curiosity of the 7teple. For some time past she has appeared in high ,pirits, and visits all the public promenades. A very trict guard is kept at Schoenbrunn, and nobody is towed to go in or out without giving an accuunt of 4 .imself. The King of Saxony is to come here on the :ah, and will reside in the Imperial Palace. APRIL s.—The Neapolitan army has not passed 1-rough Rome, but has made a circuit about the Thy% It is not estimated at more than 50,000 men. Every where on its route it posts up Proclamations, nviting the inhabitants to concur towards the insie ridence of Italy. A Russian army of 50,000 men will, it is said, March from Prague to Italy. The Archduchess Maria Louisa has returned no uswer to Napoleon's Letter to her, announcing his arrival in France There is a talk of leaving Saintly under its present Government during the whole of the war. Twenty housand of our troops have already passed the Iron ..lers Bavaria ; another column follows immediately If ter them. FRANKFORT, APRIL 7. This city has decreed an extraordinary levy of 1000 men, and a subscription has been opened for heir equipment ; the sum subscribed soon exceeded &:;e amount that is requisite. APiiiL 11.—Yesterday his Excellency Prince s.7 .tliscl:lcen, High Chamberlain to his 'lsliijesty the :;inpour of Itu,sia, arrived here with his suite. A public Print states, that by the new Treaty ef Alliance. EnglAnd gives £5,000,000 sterling in ,ab idies, besides us contingent of 150,009 men. The ivAlry of the combned armies, (which will amount nearly one million of men), is estimated at 200,000, lid the artillery at 4000 pieces of cannon. A great many Members of the Saxon States, and Deputies from all the Circles, have arrived at Vienna, o remonstrate against the partition of the country. I'he King will consult with them on the best measures 'hat he can take at this moment for the good of ;Amy. C. unt Neipperg is gone to Naples. It is ffirmed that the King of Naples has required of the lilies a definitive declaration respesting the future de of the kingdom of It +ly. BERLIN, MARCH 4s. According to more particular accounts the tumult Dresden was more serious than we at first believed :re. In all great cities there is a licentious populace. ' tally persons of this description, on the news of Na- Aeon's landing in France, indulged themselves in decorous behaviour and insult to the Prussian na. yial troops, which the Prussian Commandants Ge. ral Von Dobschnts, judged it proper to check, by ;circus measures. Since then several of our regi. .nts have been ordered to Dresden. COLOGNE, APRIL IL The march of troops through our city will tom• trace immediately. Between the 15th instant and = 7th of May a great many Prussian battalions will ss through, making but a short stay here : tile) 'I Proceed without delay to the frontiers of France ussia is to have 350,000 men on foot, terrain, Cn cf,rp,, tour of which will immediately take di and the others will form the reserve.

' . ' THE EVhNlisiurMt THE AAmr. Yesterday the Duke of Yout held a Military Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, as Coin minder in Chief of the Btitish Army, Which WAS more numerously attended than any Ncolkcted, there being between 70 and SO present. The following Circular indicates the anxiety of Government to complete the preparations for war : " HORSE GUARDS, APRIL. IS, NIS.

With this view you will please to adopt the seadirtt means of completing the equipment of the regiment in every respect; but the pint to which I am directed mixt particularly to require your attention, is the Recruiting Service, on the success-of which must necessa rily depend the possibility of the Regiment taking its share in the contest whick may coon ually await us. It is confidently ex pected, that the Increase which has recently taken place in the levy money, and the aheraion which his been admitted in the standard of the age and height of recruiti, will give new energy and facility to this branch us the service; and it must be your especial cote to avail yourself of these favourable circunistances, to which nothing will more contribute, than a judicious selec tion of the nun-eonundmiouisd officers and soldiers whom you employ on this Important duty, taking special care that those only are thus employed, In whose zeal, activity, and intelligence )eu have reason to Ogee: the utmost reliance.

The Bloomsbury anti Inns of Court Volunteer Association, are about to offer their services to Go-, velment as during the late war. A tender to that effect, is already signed by the greater part of the Members of the former Associations The St. James's have also tendered their services, which have been acccptr.d. The 3d Battalion of that erce lent corps the Royal Scots, or Duke of Kawr's own, commanded by Lieu tenant-Colonel COLIN CASIVIIELL, with a number of its old Officers, the Ht.roes of Salamanca, Vittoria, St. Sebastian, and St. Etienne, has been ordered to join the British atmy in Belgium, under the com mand of Fitld Marshal the Duke of WIILLINOTON.-••• This Battalion was with the expedition to Walcheren, whence it encountered all the campaigns in the Pe ninsula anti France.

In the course of the evening, a variety of.loyal and patriotic toasts were drank, corresponding to the aspect of the times, to which the Band of the regiment played ap propriate airs. It is currently reper:cl on 'Change this morning that Mr. CANNING has arrived at Falmouth, from Lisbon. This morning a Messenger set off with dispatches for Brussels. Although most of the private papers belonging to the BOURBONS were destroyed before the Km; left Paris, yet a great mass of public documents, relative to the proceedings at Congress, and correspcndence respecting the Negotiations with America, fell into the hands of BoNAVARTE.
