We this forenoon received the Paris Papers of Tuesday last (to the 19th) ; their contents are highly interesting. There can be no doubt that hostilities have commenced in Italy. Ihere is yet no official confirmation of the successes of the Neapolitans, but we find it stated in the Papers just received, that the King of NAPLES had beaten the Austrian army at ModGna. The ■}fair is repesented as having been very bloody, and the Austrian • General STEPIIANT, was killed. It is added that Leghorn has• been tilten possession of by a part of the Neapolitan army, and that Italy has very generally declared in favour of the inserter of its independence. The Aestrian troops either find ' l it advisable to make off, or join their opponents; they are otherwise' beaten or made prisoners. Luctur BONAPARTE has entered heart and hand into the support of the new Government. Ile is made Minister of the Interior, CARNOT changing to his old place of Minister at War, for which he is se Well fitted. The French Funds have bad a great rise : the 5 per cents. are now at 62. The following are ettracts COURIER EXTRAORDINARY. Tees lay Murning. PARIS, APRIL 18.—By a decree of his Majesty the Emperor, of the t7th of April, Lieut.-General Count Grouchy, has been tamed a Marshal of France. It is sail, that Prince Canino (Lucien Bonaparte) is appointed Minister of the Interior; Count Carnot, Minister of War ; and M. Merlin, of Douai, Minis ter of Justice. 17.—Thts rumour is in general circula tion to-day of the King of Naples having beaten the Austrian army at Modena. The affair is said to have been very bloody ; And that Stephatii, the Austrian Ceneral, was killed. It is added, that a Neapolitan division had taken possession of Leghorn. Nothing official has yet arrived; but several letters from Genoa mention the facts as certain. The Third Corps of Observation, which is a - ambled on the side of Merieres, is placed under the command of the Duke de Plaisatice. There have been already formed in•the derirtmcut of the Vosges 28 battalions of the National Guard, who are all to unite tlwmselres with the army for the defence of the country, in case they shall be me. paced. We are assured, that the new Constitution will be trade public iu a fow days. Among other enact o►ents for the benefit of the people, it will give to them the nomination of the Mayors and Judges of the Peace, in the choice of %s ham the nation has the greatest interest. Gen. Hugo has again taken the command of Dijon. vale. The news from Italy, which make!' mention of ele success of the Neapolitan army, appears to have been communicated by M. de Beiufremont, Aid-de. Camp to the King of Naples. That Officer relates, that repairing to his Prince, he had been detained at Turin nine days, and obliged to retrace his steps. Ile bad been assured that the rumour was general et Tu- T:n, that the King of Naples had arrived at Plaisance, after having constantly beaten the Austrians from Rimini. We are assured that he had made 15,000 prisoners ; among which number is the force under General Nugent, who wero beaten and taken. M. Filangieri, Aid-de-Camp of the King, had been killed. The Proclamation of the King of Naples fur the Independence of Italy is dated March 30. News from Crevelt, of the date of the 25th of * March, states, that on the arrival of the news of the Emperor Napoleon's entrance into Paris, the elli tem of the Saxon corps cantoned in that city at.d the neighbourhood assembled together for the pur pose of celebrating that event. liey write from Lille that the Datch regiments; THE STATESMAN. which were at Mussels, have been seat to the rote of the army. The Po, arrived at Genoa on the 3d of April; pe several Cardinals preceded his Holiness to that city. The Austrian and Hengarian troops which arrive in Italy are to occupy the line of the Po. By news from Italy it appears that at Milan the greatest uneasiness prevailed on the advances of the King of Naples, and the spirit of insurrection was manifest throughout the whole of Italy. Many per sOns had already left Milan to seek refuge in Mantua. The Government was occupied in emptying the ma gazines. 'this day (Monday) his Majesty received the De putations of Chauny, Rochefort, and Versailles. His Majesty is gone to reside at the Palace of is Elysee. FRENCH FuNns-5 per Cents. 62 f. 75 c.—Bank Bonds 835 f.—Dollars 5 f. R 8 c. about 4s. &I. VIENNA, Aram s.—Marshal Berthier has arrived here. Very serious measures of precaution are taken against all strangers, but particularly against the French. The Emperor Alexander will not repair to Prague as has been said. The Allied Sovereigns are now to assemble at Ulm. METZ, Aram 15.—The following are particulars given by an Officer who left Vienna, the 7th of April :—Russia has in full march for the Rhine 17 divisions Of troops, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, forming altogether a force of 110,000 men. Prussia has an army of 90,000 men in march for the Rhine, burning with hatred to the French, and disposed to commit every possible evil in the country. England, Holland, Hanover, and Hesse, have upwards of 60,000 men united under Lnrd Welling ton ; the Bavarian army amounts to 44,000 men, of whom 9.5,000 are in march for the Rhine, it is well organized and equipped, and full of resentment against the French. Austria has 180,000, destined for Italy, bat not more than 120,000 can be counted upon as etective. The Austrian army on the Rhine is estimated at about 110,000 men. That Monarchy has much ap prehension übout Italy. Wirtemberg will famish shout 10,000—Baden about 10,000—Hesse Darm stadt has already 40(X) men reedy. The Allies have published, at Vienna, as follows : 'Russia—That whatever prisoners she makes shall be met to the extreme of Russia, •never to be ex. changed or given up ; such sof them as do not chaser to enter into her service to he sent to form colonies ' near Monet Caucasus, and treated as slaves. The other Powers have made similar declarations, that all prisoners shall he treated with the utmost 'entity. It is understood that the army under the Duke of Wellington will form the siget wing—lo t)se centre the Pi ussians and Saxons, under Blucher-41m left will be composed of Austrians, Bavarians, \Virtem burghers, &c. The Count de Lille is still at Ghent. The Saxons hare halted between Juliers and Iture monde—they constantly quarrel with the Prussians, and the cry of " Long fife to Father eiolet," is perpetual. The considerate Reader will peruse with a fearful anticipation the Copy of the Treaty of Vienne, con cluded on the 25th ult. which we this day lay before the public, and by which the Principal Powers of Europe, Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, have bound themselves and invite all others, to make war—the circumstances of the case will not allow us to say as the Treaty does, against a single man, but against the whole population of France. Ad hering to their former sanguinary declaration that NAPOLEON BONAPARTE had by entering France for feited his title to existence, and been in consequence placed by them without the pale of civil and social law ; this Treaty pledges the Contracting Powers 66 to use all their efl'orts to bring him and his adhe rents (pretty numerous they seem to be) to justice, in case a demand to that effect should be made upon them by the (late) King of FRANCE. What a great man is Louts XVIII. still! What an opportunity has he yet to be magnanimous ! lie sees the chief powers of Europe ready to march and desolate his fine country at his bidding—he sees them standing, unschooled by experience, fretting and fidgeting, like " Ruin with his sweeping besom, till Ileaven commission gives him," to sweep man and civilisation from the earth—skid some like the death-devoted stripling, exclaiming, even " before he shall speak out I. will accept !" On whom now does Europe's peace depend ? Who moves the war? Louis or NAPOLEON ? NAPOLEON is peaceful, and France is quiet.—llas Lours XA TIER STAN ISL AUS given the signal for the destruction of those whom he calls his children? On whom will the responsibility of Europe's devastation rest if the fearful signal has been given for trampling under foot the foundations of public safety ? On him who is the first to issue the bloody mandate. All the Contracting Parties solemnly engage not to lay down their arms until the object of the war shall be attained, nor until BONAPARrE shall be wholly and complete ly deprived of the power of exciting disturbance,. Lest disturbances should be excited same lime or •other, they must be created now ! And this is called maintaining the peace of Europe! How would a plea of this sort sound at Bow-street ? For this great aim (we meats giving France a Sovereign, whist whom the whole uatiou has tumultuously de dared) the four above-named Powers 46 will have constantly in the field (if we can pay them, doubt. less, froth the stipulation) 150,000 men. This, says the arithmetician of the Times, who quotes COCKER for the information of the English, and VATTEL for the French, will make 600,000. The ' other Powers, if they wall accede, and the other ifs that will naturally occur to political calculators shall be all removed by actual demonstrations, are ' expected to furnish, at least, 200,000. Who the other Powers are that will furnish this 200,000 is not, however, so exactly known.—lt will !be found rather unfortunate for the number and the cause, that Marshal MURAT, as Lord LIVERPOOL calls 44 the person" whom his col league, the Foreign Minister, lately recognized as the King of Naples, has withdrawn his eighty or a hundred thousand veterans from the Coalition, and found ample employment for the whole of Austria's contingent in Italy. If this 800,003 men (" provided always" that they can be collected and paid), at once entering France, cannot defeat and d stroy the two millions who are to be opposed to them, the Contracting Powers agree to . devote to this great and salutary object all their disposable force. ' 66 One most judicious feature in thi; Treaty," says the Times, 4 6 is, that as it !s entered into simply end solely with a view to support France against the attempts of a set of rebels, his most Chrirtion Ma.. jesty is invited to accede to the alliance" which is to devastate his country, " and to assume that rank in it which the important interests of his country demand." Do the interests of France demand this—this inva sion, this threatened subversion or destruction ? The proof tt,lt they do so will not be found in Vette!, nor will the French people see that the Allies coming thus or at all into their country again, with out provocation, come " to maintain the legitimate monarchy of France in a truly paternal French Go vernment, to protect their privileges, their laws, their religion, or their property." One word more on legitimacy, if the choice of a people is allowed to constit nte a iv part of this claim. Let us hear the French ttIPMSeI Veg. 44 \Vhen the EMPEROR presented himself, without suiteand without arms, to the people of Lyons, there was not one man who for two millions would deliver him up to his enemies. When the Duke of Angouleme tied final atuphine, there was 10,(;00 peasnnts to arrest the Prince and his whole Staff, gratis. On which side is the voice of the nation'?" The policy of the " imperative interference" which would dictate to this voice, will be sufficiently evident from this hint. Notwithstanding every day shows the cause of the Boutteorts to be mere and more hopeless, the iniel ligence of every day evinces more and more also that war must take place. Hundreds of thousands of Rus sians and of Cossacks are said to be on the road for France; the Gazettes of our Allies tell us ahltallt. daily, that the Austrian armies are filing off to the West and to the South, and the legions of Prussia, too, are on quick march to the land lotted off to their Sovereign on the Rhine; but though the cry is "still they come," we have no authentic information that more than 80 or 100,000 men are any way near the scene of expected operations, and a great portion of that army was there before BONAPARTE entered France. Hanover, it is said, is to furnish a con tingent of 37,000 men. Fifteen thousand have al ready proceeded to the army, and 10,000 are to reach Antwerp by the Ist of May. It is supposed that these troops are to form part of the British con tingent. The Bill for the renewal of the Property Tax, without any modification, has been brought in, and is making rapid progress through Parliament. We have only room to say that the discussion on this and other subjects which engiged both Houses last night were of great importance, and that the report which we give will be found highly interesting. THE LETEE.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT held a Levee at Carlton-house, which did not close till about five. His Royal High ness first received those who have the privilege of the entie in the roomadjoining the levee.room, when a number of foreigners were introduced to his Royal Highness by the Ambassadors and Ministers. 'The French Ambassador presented seven or eight, who only arrived in London on Wednesday ; among them was Count DE LYNCH, the Mayor of Bout. Beaux. The REGBNT afterwards proceeded to hold a General Levee, which was attended by the Dukes Of YORK, CLARENCE, KENT, GLOVES TER, the Archbishops of, CANTERBURY And YORK, the Cabinet Ministers, the Lords Chief Jostices of the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, &c. &c. A consider able number of persons were presented to the Pa iNCX REGENT, among whom we observe the names of Mr. LAWRENCE, It. A. who was Knighted; Colonel Sir N. CAMPBELL, on his return from Elba ; Sir Men ta n STR ACH AN, on being made a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. The Mayor of Bristol presented an Address on the conclusion of peace with America, and was Knighteeis as also was Mr. Aldelman VAUGHAN from the same city. An expedition of considerable force is in progress of arrangement and preparation at Cork, to consist of most of the regiments now in Ireland, and some of those expected from America. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, from the extraordi nary change of circumstances on the Continent, has of necessity changed his intention of remitting abroad till the next year, and may therefore he ex l i - peeled in England with his Duchess in the course of the next month. Mr. Serjeant PALMER, the Judge of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, died on Wednesday morning, at his house in Carey-street ; Lincoln's Lan-fields. NAVAL NT E LIG En' E.

FALSOUTII, APRIL 18.—Arrived the Duke o f Kent packet, with a Mail, from Lisbon in hiplifr days; also a few vessels, but none likely to bring the least intelligence. The packet brings dispatches for Government. CRIJI CON. IN HPGII LIFE. On Tuesday morning, a circumst ance was date.loped ha the neighbourhood of a Asstd..nable s q uare, which is likely to excite considerable uneasileg; A Lady of illustrious parentage, and wife o f 1„ 4 , whose presence was necessary in the cam try, was discotered in a situation, on the d iy stated, with Colonel --, which prated of the fact of criminality. it appeared that the parties bad been suspected by the domestics lot some time,• and the increasing skits of the Moe induced them to sati , ly their doubts. A plan sat laid to effect this nbjvct, and the parties were broken in upon. The Lady fainted; the Colonel left the room ; and an express was instantly dispatched to the noble and much-injured husband. TV ItTIIFR PA ItTICV LA ILL Lord D— had, for some time, suspected h i Lady. On Saturday, the 15th, he went out of toar, for his father's seat in the country. He had previously communicated his suspicions to his under butler and one of the footmen, enjoining them to watch the Co. lonel closely, n Weser he should come to the house, His Lordship's commands were obeyed, Dot oat with care, but with ingenuity. The Colonel is , musical man, a proficient on the violin, and his pre. tence for visiting the Lady so frequently was to irs. prove the taste she had acquired at a boarding-sch oo l. A note from him was intercepted, in which there was a great deal of love, but nothing of music. It p. pointed a certain time for visiting the Lady in the morning. Before that time, the observers of he Ladyship had bo!ed a hole through the floor, under One of the sofas in her dressiog-room, and had pan e d a wire through It, which communicated with a lon apartment. One of 'the spies concealed himself solder' this sofa ; the other took his station in th, room below. At the moment, whet, the Noir r wished to have an additlonnl witness, he putkd ti wire, and his associate imtnedictely mad• his appear, ance in the dressing-room. The parties were thus placed beyond all hope of explanation. The footman went down to his Noble Master, flu slight, by the mail-coach ; and, Wednesday mortun t at seven o'clock, his Lordship arrived in town. II drote immediately to an hotel, the Lady remainit at his Manse in street. It was on Moods, • Tdetection A. took place. ie gallant is nearly 40—the brother of an Irish Peer ; the Lady about 23. This unhappy young en. men' brought her husband a very large fortune. The Colonel offered the servants money to conceal what they had seen, but they refused it.—lt is said, hat probably without troth, that his Lordship promised the two men to settle upon them their salaries and board wages for life, if they served him truly in the matter. From IL Gentleman just returned from Gibraltar, we learn that Gen. MIRANDA was lately tried before the Secret Tributuil at Cadiz, and sentenced to be strangled with the Dargarate, which punishment he suffered accordingly. Eloped, on Monday last, from the neighbourhood of Cavendish-row, Miss B. aged about twenty years i possessing a considerable fortune, with a gallant sort of Mars. The happy fugitives- have, it is thought, 'leaped their course to the North. A large placard. announcing a reward of 10001. for the seizure of the person of BONAPARTE, as the murderer of th , late Capt. \Velum., was posted oa Tuesday through the town : it is a publication that will not, we trust, escape the notice of Goner. ment. Mr. TIERNEY'S speech delivered in the Rosiest Commons on the Civil List, is the theme of genersl admiration—so also is that incomparable Blacking manufactured by DAY and Maiivot, lit, buying Road, Southwark, while it produces the finest polish and jet black ever beheld, it preserves the leather and *repels wet.—Sold retail in stone bottles.
