. DUTCH PAPSRS. • PARIS, APRIL is reported, that the Prince of Esling will set out in a few days to as sume the command in Spain. The Ministers have gone ko Compeigne to hold a Council with his Majesty. His Majesty the King of Naples has set off for . his States, where, upon his arrival, events of the highest importance will most probably take. place► The latest advices from Sicily affirm, that some of the inhabitants arc dejected in the extreme, and that others entertain apprehen sions, which aro certainly well founded. It is said that the English Government has, at length, consented to receive the King of Sicily, if he should ho compelled finally to abandon his dominions. Ile will, in that case, proceed, not to Malta, but to England. Theislaud is well supplied with pro visions, but uut so with artillery and ammunition. The English complain of the total incapacity of the inhabitants fur military service, and the latter complain of the arrogance of their guests. Nu-' ineruns reinforcements were anxiously expected from Portugal, to garrison the various' fortresses opposite to the Continent. With this aid, it was . hoped that the enemy might be resisted, or at least so far as to severe the safety of the English army, VIENNA, APRIL 14.—Our Court Gazette con. tains a formal contradiction of a report that a Mr. neppelatl, as Austrian Chargé d'Affaires, noti. fled the marriage of the Archduchess Maria Louisa to the English Secretary of State fur Foreign Af fairs. 'We are,' it says, t authorised to declare, that there is no Austrian Charge d'Affaires hr England, nor any other political agent, who could' Lase made an official notification of themarritge; and consequently that the whole of the- article,, . both in substance and detail, is false and unfounded.' His Imperial Majesty gave an audietice'to Count Otto on the 10th, at six o'claele tfr-the evening, at which he delivered a letter to his Majesty troll' the, Emperor Napoleon, and seven .cerdons of the Legitin of Honour. His Majesty retained one for himself, lend presented another to the Archduke Charles' ) intending to distribute the - rest upon a future. occasion. . A. letter from Constantinople of the 19th ult.: says, 66 the Grand Seignior means to put hituself at the head of his Asiatic troops, in whom he has greater confidence than in those of Europe. Fur some time past, he has personally superintendeff their exercise. The recent disturbances in Mace donia were occasioned by stomp excesses on the part of the Janissaries; and had no relation what ever to political events. Macedonia, in fact, is one of the provinces that are least desirous of a Revolution. Thessaly, and thu rest of Greece, openly - express their wishes fur a change of Go verumeut." 134102 - 0 It .IL4iI - CH 13. lit W a d tjl i tLios Pi 'I to t o is rcl co ZS =1 ft Pa CP 0 LOC 0 K 3 I O- I 1 6 ° 11 Cr t.. 1 41.

Sir George Beckwith gave a grand dinner at Basseterre, Guadeloupe, to all the principal naval, military and civil characters of the island, includ. ing upwards of eighty persons of distinction; among them, the Council and all the Public Func. tionaries. The dinner was given ala Francoise, and served in great style, but the decorations of the roost were truly British ; the wainscoting and cieling being covered with our triumphant flags, the Royal Standard conspicuously spread over the centre.. The only toasts by Sir George were, " The King," and " Prosperity to the Island of Guadeloupe;" and on that of the French visitors x 66 The General and Admiral." Nlajor.General Carmichael, by the last accounts vra hourly expected at Guadeloupe ; and on his arsival Major. General liilop.would immediately return to his Government at Trinidad, where his presence must be much desired, as we are sorry to learn, that the leaven of old discontents has been fermented in his absence. ' The French frigate that lately looked into Gua. daloupe, and so privately made off without being seen, after sending a boat ashore, it appears, had. on board the intended successor of the l at e C a p .. tatn.General Ernatif, together with his Staff and a new Prefect, and 200 troops fig the garrison of that Island. s .t CITY DUNN EsS. Yestertiar s Gourt of Aldermen was held at Guildhall. The Court proceeded to examine the Meal-weighers' Reports, and ordered the price of Bread to be continued at is: Std. tbe quartern.loaf of wheaten, and is. 2d. household. . .The Committee appointed to examine by what means, or under what circumstances, some per_ sous were killed or wounded by the military with. in the City, on the 9th ult. presented a report re lative thereto, which was read, and ordered to be printed, and a copy thiteof sent to every Member of the Court previous to its being taken into coo. Aticration at the next Court. The Court voted their Thanks to the Lord Bi shop of Oxman and Archdeacon hurrowowtu, for their Sermons preached before the Court - at, Christ Church; in Newgate-sireet, on Easter Dlonday and Tuesday last. Precepts fur the election of Sheriffs, Chathber. lain, &c. were ordered to be issued for Midsummer • day next. Several persons were admitted and sworn Bro kers, and a qnintity of gold was sworn to as fo reign, for exportation.
