PEP" FLANDERS MAIL. TURIN, Mc. IS. The Austrian army has lately made several move ments to take route concentrated positions, the ob ject of which aplicars to be to approach the Po, espef. , ially those points at Awhich it would have to effect its passage in ease it should receive orders to cross that river, which it has not yet done. Mean time numerous reinfitreements continue to come down fr. in the Italian A Ips, and to accumulate in the states of Lombardy and Venice. %Vhen all the reintlircemcnts expected from the hereditary states shall have joined the army in Italy, its Cue, it is said will amount to 260,000 men : of this force, one halt only, we are assured, will be employed in the cxredition with which the kingdom of Naples is threatened ; the other will remain, us an army of observation, as the foot of the Alps, beyond the rivers which separate us from Lombardy. Whatever may be the issue of the diffbrences between Austria and the kingdom of the two Sicilies, and of the events which threaten the south of Italy, our Court seems to abide by its resolution of maintaining strict neutrality VIENNA, nrc. 19. Our Emperor will arrive here from Troppau 'on the 28th, but the Emperor Alexander will not bc here till the Ist of .tottery, because he will remain at Kremiser to pay a visit to the Cardinal Archduke RudMpli. Fetes are preparing ter the Sovereigns, but they will be very short, as it cannot be doubted that their Majesties will set out almost immediately fbr Lavlxich in Carinthia, where the King of Naples is expected by the 22,1 of January. The prepara tions for war are carried on without intermi4sion. FAANKFO:t r, tire. Great curiosity is excited to learn the contents of the protocol of the conferences at Troppau, which the cabinet of Vienna has addressed to all its diplomatic agents at foreign Courts. It is known that the affairs of Naples tin in the only subject of them, and that they strongly condemn the principle of revolu tions made by un armed force, and of constitutions thus imposed upon Sovereigns. The Great German Courts have communicated to all the States of the Confederation by the medium of their Ministers to the German Diet, their views respecting the revolutions in Naples, Spain, and Portugal, and their firm resolution to oppose all changes of Government which may take place in consequence of insurrectio The German Diet will shortly have to deliberate on subjects of the highest importance. Most r.f the ministers who form a part of that assembly have already received fresh instructions from their res pective Governments. It is affirmed, that a law respecting the press is in agitation, which will be made binding fur all the States which compose the Confederation. As for the military affairs, the dis cussion of them will in all probability be again ad journed tar a time. BRUSSELS, DEc. 30. Yesterday morning at five o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out in the palace of the Prince of Orange, which entirely consumed that line building, in spite of the most point as:istaiace of every kind, and the extraordinary zeal and courage of the citizens, who were eager to show their affection to the Prince rmd Princess, by the most extraordinary efforts to stop the progress of the flames. His noyal Highness the Prince of Orange directed the workmen, and encouraged their zeal with cool ness and intrepidity which so eminently characterize him. Meantime the archives were removed from the palace of the States General (which joins that of the Prince), as well us the most valuable furni ture which could be rescued from the flames, and carried into the park and the neighbouring houses. The tire seems to have begun in the chapel of the Princess, at the upper story. The Prince imme diately directed all the assistance which could be given by the persons of his household, but in vain. At seven o'clock tic Princess and her three sons left the palace, which began to be a prey to the flames and which soon spread further with amazing yin knee. They communicated to the noble hull of the States General, decorated with so much taste and elegance by M. Vander Stracten, the King's acid tees. Only the bare walls of that magnificent building remain, but its fine frontispiece, which we owe to the skilful hand of the sculptor, M. Gade charles, is happily uninjured. All the archives and papers of the ancient government, those of the province, and of the Tribunal of Commerce, have been preserved. Nlany valuable eilects have been saved, but many have also been destroyed. The tire was not got under until five p. m. ; hut at ten there was a fresh alarm, which, however, was soon re moved. Many persons have received sericus bodily injuries, but it is not yet known whither any person has perished.
