The discussion of the Prince Regent's message, in which I .klinisters ob'ained a majority of 33 I to 92, in favour of war, r a y hein followed by t-he grant of five millions of subsidies for Rtosia, Prussia, and Austria. Although those Powers are only bound, in conjunction arith us, to bring 150,000 pen into the field, Lord Castlereagh has stated their respec tive ((are in motion as follows: Austria 550,000 me►► ; Rus sia37s,oon; Prussia 236,000; the inferior Powers 150,000; England and the Netherlands 100,600. In all 1,161,000 rneu. This will rather disarrange the calculations of the Trench Politician, who in one of the Papers received yester day, gives the following estimate of the armies of the Allies and their positions. " If we recapitulate the forces of the Allies, we shall end, in following the most reasonable details, that Russia has organised and put in march 110,000 men ; that 70,000 Dutch, Hessians, and Ilanoverians, maintain a menacing attitude . upon the Scheldt, the Lys, and the Sambre ; that Bavaria has moved 25,000 men ; that Aus tria, after having inundated Italy with 100,000 Germans, has directed 40,000 to the Rhine; and that Wurtzburg, Baden, Hesse, Darmstadt, and Piedmont, furnish from SO to S's,ooo men. All these forces are not yet up, and it appears that they will not act until they are all united upon the line of operations. Such is, they say, the advice which the Em peror Alexander has made to prevail on the Council of Kings. But the Russians, debouching from Bohemia by the route of Egra, or, according to other accounts by that of E: fort, will scarcely have passed the Rhine five weeks hence; or, in other words, the Allies would not be in a state to open the campaign until the end of June.—Here an important question presents itse.f—Would the Emperor Napoleon wait patiently until all the preparations of the Allies are completed ? We will not prejudge a question 'lrish is properly a secret of state, and which in common reason appears to be already resolved. We come now to examine the respective positions of the Allied armies. That of the Doke of Wellington extends from Ostend to Char leroi : the Prussians, under Marshal Blucher, are stationed frau Namur to Treves ; joining their left wing is the army of Prince Schwartzetiberg, which lines the eastern frontier from Ti eves to Switzerland. It is said to consist of four corps, of from 30 to 40,000 men each, under the command of Prince Wrede, Count Colloredo, the Prince Royal of temberg, and the Prince of Hohenzollern. This last corps, amounting to fifty thouaaml men, is assembled behind the Black Mountains, between the Lake of Con stance and the Rhine. The Swiss also have furnished their frontiers, on the side of France. with a federal army of 3 ` ), " 0 met]." The article proceeds to state, that Switzer land 'wishes to remain neutral ; that the Allies can expect no sup port frog► Spain, in her present state of irresolution and em barrassment ; and that the Regency of Lisbon would not march the Portuguese army until they had received ex press orders from the Prince of Brazil. it then dwells upon 347 the want of unity in this allied at my, comprehendin; such diversity of interests, languages, and manners, cou'rasted with the French, consisting of one people, united 'in one common cause, directed by one single genius, and w;th a force of 3C0,000 veteran troops, and 200,000 citizen soldiers.

Aquila, in the Neapolitan terri:o. ries, has been taken, and Ancona is blockaded. The Aus. trians are much nearer Naples than Murat. Lord Exmouth's arrival off Genoa, with ten sail of the line, is announced in the Genoa articles of the toth inst. It is supposed that it will immediately proceed against Naples. Marseilles has been declared in a state of siege, and its na tional guard dissolved. The disposition of the inhabitants is uniformly faithful to the Born bons. Bonaparte remains at Paris, and not a word is said of his departure. Disturbances have taken place at Montanbon. Barrere appears again upon the scene. He has published .a work upon Constitutions, and announces himself a Mem• her of the Electoral College of the Upper Pyrenees. ' The Funds are drooping -57. Franckfort Papers arrived yesterday to the 20th. They suppose that the Austrian army entered Naples on the 9th ; but as General Bianchi-was not much beyond Aquila on the 6th, we do not think they could have reached Naples so soon as the 9th. VIENNA, MAY 152.—The King of Denmark leaves this capital on the 15th,—the King of Prussia on the 17th,--the Emperor of Aust►ia about the end of the month. " Large contracts have been concluded fur the army. " It is believed here that the Austrian troops must hays entered Naples on the 9th.
