Mr. Robinson was selected by lord Castlereagh as -the bearer of his last dispatches on account of their importance, and in order that he should impress with more force than before the sentiments wl:ich his Lordship had • already expressed on the subject of peace. We find, in consequence, that soon after one o'clock on Friday last, the Earl of Liverpool, accom panied by Mr. RoLinson, went in his carriage to Carlton House, whew they had an interview with the Prince Re gent till near three o'clock, when the Noble Earl went in his carriage to the Foreign 011 ice, to attend a meeting of the Cabinet Council. The Cabinet continued in delibera tions till past five o'clock. The dispatches brought by Mr. Robinson, and his ;ver bal communications, more important, perhaps, than hie dispatches, remain known only to the Regent and his Mi nisters. It ha been stated" that the object of the Allies was to enter Paris, and then to make a full disclosure of their views. Austria is said to have adopted this measure ith some reluctance. I; lore the battles of the 'l7th and Pith, Buonaparte is said to have transmitted a project of a treaty upon the bases of the ancient limits, ai u the retreat of the grand Austrian army toTroy - es after the partial disas ters experienced by the Russians, Bavarians, and Wurtem burghOs alone, at .yang's and Montereau, is suspect 2d to have taken place on account of Napoleon's proposals, backed by his victories. The Emperor of Austria, who did not entirely approve of the attempt on Paris, "finding that the other armies had failed, and that all the weight of the enterprise fell on his own, after their defeats, or dered his troops to fall back, although only one of their corps (Bianchi's) had been partially engaged, and they still possessed a great superiority of numbers, which no doubt would have ensured the r success had they re solutely pushed on to the French capital. This retrograde movement, and the explanation of the reasons on which it was founded, as well as of the renewed pacific views of Austria, arc thought to have created some difficulties amongst the Allies, and to have occasioned the important communications which. Mr. Robinson has been ordered to make to the Prince Regent. REPORTED ACCESSION OF MURAT AND BEAUHARNOIS. The Dutch Papers received in the course of the week, continue to assert that Murat has abandoned the cause of his brother-in-law, Napoleon, to become a member of the coalition against him. They even give an article from Milan, containing a proclamation said to have been is sued by the new Ally, in which he is made to state that he has purchased the friendship of the coalesced Powers by the cessiola of the three small islands in front of Na- 139 pies, and of his whole fleet : and that he has obtained in compeusAtion the whole of Italy as far - as the right bank of the Po. We• still doubt this intelligence. The force which Muriit possesses, is taro trifling to - produce in the balance an effect correspor lent to the magnitUde of the advantages said to be granted him. He cannot, 'at the • Utmost, bring . thore than 20,003 men to the field, and yet Rome and the S' - ates of the Church, all Tuscany, Parma, And Modena, would be ceded to him as a substitue fors the sacrifice of his lieet, consisting of a few vesSels, and a re ward ;for his future exertions in the common 'cause. It is evident, too, that his proclamation NS c,::1(1 not be allowed to be published at Milan where Bucnaparte still rules in the .perst)n of the Viceroy of Italy. It is true that rumours have been circulated of Benuharnois having at last forsaken Napoleon, on condition of being made King of Lombardy ; but these are setfic!ontly dis , proved by the battles which, on the 10th and 14th, ho fought with the Austrians on the Mincio. It is known, besides, that whet! offers to that purpose were made him l ; Fo me time since, by hi 3 father-in-law, the King of Bavaria, he returned a positive and indignant refusal. Another reason that seems decisive against the - reported accession either of Murat or Beanharnois, is the total silence maintained on the subject by our ministers with the allies. Neither is it likely, that whilst the a/cc is. laid at the foot of the tree, the saplins which it. has produced should be carefully spared, and even tenderly nourished. The probable return of Ferdinand Vllth to resume. the crown of Spain, has caused the Cortes to issue a wise de cree, by which they order that the King shall only be ac knowledged free, and obeyed such, when he shall have taken the oath prescribed by the new constitution. No armed force, and no foreigners, are to be allowed to enter with the King ; but the General who shall receive him shalt appoint a detachment of troops to accompany him with the honours glue to his rank. The President of the Regency is author iced to present him a copy of the new constitution, in order that he may have time to deliberate before he takes the oath, which he must do immediately after his arrival in the capital, after which the Regency shall deliver the Go vernment into his hands. There is no doubt but these pre cautions will produce the intended effect, and pi event the exertion of any undue French influence in future in the Pew i nsula. In the sitting of the Cortes of Feb 3, the Deputy for Se ville, named Reyna, had the temerity to declare, that when Ferdinand VU. was born, with. him was born the right of commanding despotically all Spain ; and that, consequently, when he shall return to Spain, the new Constitution will be null and void. The people who were in the gallery, could not restrain their indignation on bearing this outrage against the majesty of the law, and at the same .moment many . of the Deputies rose from their seats, •ind demanded justice of the aggressor. Reyna was driven from the Assembly, and a commission was immediately appointed to consider of the form of proceeding to be instituted against him. Monsieur is said to have arrived at Frankfort, where he found a dispatch waiting for him from the Emperor of Russia, inviting him immediately to repair' to the Imperial head-quarters, for which place he set off the next day. We have the pleasure to state , th at the French frigates, Alcmene and Iphigenie, are taken off Madeira, by his Ma• jest y's ships Venerable and Cyane. A
