(Signed) JOACLIIM NAPOLEON. By command of the King, (Signed) Count of MOsBURG- Letters from Upper Italy state, that when Murat found his career checked by the skill and valour of •his Imnerial Gener Is. he contented himself with plundeling in the name .oflibrrlri, the provinces which he immediately occupied. and coMmenced . hi 3 r , treat upon A ncova s On the city of Bolouna alone Murat had levied four millions of francs, and in the like proportion upon others. In several provinces he has caused himself to be proclaimed Sovereign, as was in the Prpal -twes. All the French Ports of the Channel, from Dunkirk to Eav•e are now closed; a packet which sailed from Brighton for Dieppe on Wednesday was not permitted tb land her passenvrq, - By the George Canning, from the River Plate, letters and papers have reached town from Buenos Ayres, to the middle of Februaly The Buenos Ayres Government, it would seem, had taken the alarm, on learning that the expedition from cadiz wa- on its way thither, and a proclamation was. issued in consequence, setting forth the real state of the conn try. i!s means of defence, &c. and calling upon the" iieople for their utmost exertions in support of their threat ened lib ,•y and independence. Every encouragement with respect to commerce is held out to the British to secure theirreutnility. The private letters speak with confidence of their successful resistance, provided the British do not espouse the opposite cause. An article from Augsburgh states, that a revolution against Murat has broken out at Naples; and that the beaten a..d dispersed state of the Neapolitan army has enabled the Austrians to match all their re-inforcements to ,r o opet we with the Allies on the southern frontiers of tranre..-r—All accounts relative to Murat represent his affairs ,to be in a most desperate situation. The Austrians were at Arezzo, at Perugia, at Tolentino ; and one report even speaks of their arrival at Ancona. Murat has offered to retreat u itl - tin his own territories, on condition of suspension of arms ; but this proposal was not acceded to. Ilis troops aae admitted by the French papers to be in a state of almost entiic disorganization. Friday evening the Princess Charlotte of Wales honoured the 0 era with her presence, about half-past eight o'clock, attended b‘ the Countess of Ilchester, Miss Coates, Colonel AddenbrOke, &c. Her Royal Hiehness entered the Theatre at half-past eight o'clock, where there was a serjeant's guard to ;receive her at the exterior, and in the interior Mr. Reed the MAY 14. Depu►y Manager, received her Royal Highness with wax lights, and conducted her to her Royal Father's Box, the Prince Regent's. Her Royal flightless entered about the middle of the first act, when the audience rose, which, in fact, is more notice than her Royal Highness wishes. Her efloyal Highness looked extremely well, and appeared hignly delighted with the whole of the performances; the dancing especially attracted the particular notice of the distinguished visitor. The home was well attended„ and the pieces for the evening went off with considerable eclat. The Duke of Cumbei land is on his return home, unmarried• A punster on being told that the Duke of Wellington had given a dance at Brussels, observed that his grace had begun to accustom his army to balls already. The Marquis of Tayistock has had the most satisfactory letters from the Duke of Bedford, respecting his own personal safety, although it is perfectly true that the four gc (tames and two postillions were put to death by the hand .ti, to prevent as it is supposed, their pursuit and detection. Policies have been extensively signed at Lloyd's, giving 20gs. to receive longs. if hostilities with France do not take place before Nov. 1. The Intense cold which succeeded the unseasonable heat towards the end of March, has occasioned great ravage in the premature vegetation in France. Throughout the whole of Lorraine, Alsace, the Departments of La Moselle, La Mense, &c. and the young blossoms are all blighted. IMaimmoiminswimm. NATIVITY OF BUONAP.ARTE. [lll justice to our Correspondent, it is but fair to state that the following communication ri ached us before Buonaparte's arrival at Paris was known, and when considerable doubts of his success ex kted. It vas mislaid at the time, but is now given, not as a plctlke of our faith in ivitrological divinations, but as a curious coincidence % lilt sulkequent evcias SI t has been asserted, and perhaps with truth, that Buonaparte has expressed an anxious solicitude to know his future fate ; that he has not only consulted several who profess a knowledge of judicial astrology, but is not unacquainted with the rudiments of the science himself. If so, I can only say he could not have chosen a more fortunate time than the present, for the execution of the unjustifiable outrages he is now committing. According to my time and calcula tion, he has now (operating by direction, the lutn'naries in a 'mundane trine, and the moon in sextile of his tenth house, which bath designation of honour, power, and authority;) eminent indicative of honour, glory, great po pularity. and domestic happiness ; which, in my opinion, will have the effect of uniting him again to the Empress. A gentleman (Mr. Worsdale) in his publication of Napo leon's Nativity, has predicted, as his opinion, that he will suffer a premature death in his 46th year of age. But as I differ widely from that gentleman in respect to the time of his (Bitonapaite's) birth, 1 do not think he will meet with his death till about his 59th year, and then in a natural way. am sorry to say, (according to the rules of astrology) I do not perceive any thing like disaster to befall him, till about that time poor Louis is mnfottunate ; (his power and energy are not equal to his Virtues), he will not he able to prevent the crown of France being unjustly wrested from him by a too powerful and usurping tyrant, who has both power and energy to execute what his ambitious, subtile, and reflective mind wills. 18th March. .
