It is statea that Altpter, the French Ambas sador, has quitted Nor.les, and that the Minister of His Sicilian Islajesty, the Chevalier de Medici. has issued a Proclamation, to announce to the pee. pl., that this event will not affeEt the neutrality of the kingdom.

Within five days we expo& the return of his High ness to this place ; and as the head-quarters are to be fixed here, five largo houses are already taken for the accommodation of the Officers. I, DEC. 7. Last night late arrived here very unexpectedly, his Imperial Highness Prince Louis, brother of the Em peror, with his retinue. This morning early, his High• css i:l.pested the works of the citadel, maga zines, asJ the few depot of French troops ; and at eleven o'clock, he set off for Breda, on his way to Nimeguen. Since the Prince's arrival here, it is asserted that orders have been issued to put the city in a state of defence, and to form magazines. BREDA, DEC 8. This morning, at sir o'clock, the guns wer: fired, aanouncing to us the unexpefled arrival of Prince Louis, Constable of France, as Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Army, destined, among tither Os jeds, to cover our frontiers. The Prince declined politely, the compliments which the Constituted Au thorities intended to pay him. However, the lower, the Town-house, and the Hall, were and the bells were a-ringing to celehrate the arrival of the Prince in this city. After having previously taken some refreshment with the engineers belong ing to the fortifications of this citadel, the Prince dined, and departed at ten o'clock in the night, his staff, bureau, Ate. following him a few hours after. wards. Yesterday 2000 men marched through this city for Bois-le-Duc and 2000 were quartered here for the night, and to-dry pursued Cher march : others are expeEted to-morrow. Yesterday and to-day, fromi to S,OOO men passed through Floogstraten. The head-quarters are to be provisionally established at Nimeguen. A OSSUBO, Nov. 30. From Vienna we learn, that an order of the day had been issued by the Emperor of the French, from the head-quarters at Brunn, on the 43d of Noveni bei, importing, that he wished to grant some repose to the troops. '('bey were, in consequence s to go into cantonments, and to labour to put to rights their apparel and appointments, which have been a little disordered since their departure from France. It is thought that his Imperial and Royal Majesty will go to Vienna. We understand also, that on the IGth of Novem ber, General Marmnnt, Commander-in-chief of the second division of the Grand Army, arrived at Gratz, the capital of Lower Styria, with his staff, and the General of Division Vignolles. A part of this division, consisting of the 84th and 93J regi ments of infantry, of dragoons, and Batavian hus sars, the 18th regiment of mounted chasseurs, and a detachment of French hu , occupied the tov.ns. The officers were quartered on the Bour geois, and the troops were lodged in the barracks. It is calculated here, that, by the 10th of Decem ber, the grand army would have received a rein forcer:lNa of more than 43,060 men. It will then amount to iiiu,ooo men in Moravia alone, without reckoning the division stationed in Bohemia on the lee, and those on the right, w iich occupy the Ty ro:, :Styria, and Carinthia. As soon as Marshals Massena and Augereau shall have effected a corn plc :e junction, the tot,l of the French troops :n Germany. will amount to 280,000 men. without eluding the contingents of the three Hectors, the allies of N . the Emperor N rpoleon. The Eleabral Governmttut of Wirtenilrerg has :Axed its arms and symbols of posssession to all the prop ty of the Equestrian Older in the Canton if Odenwald.

The Constituted Authorities themselves of this kingdom ate adverse to the raising of the peasants, whom evil minded persons wished to organise. 1 he Bailiff of Klattau has published a Proclamation, which says, " that the subjeas of this Bailiwick may not think, in any case, of taking arms, and augmenting the evils of war, by their imprudence; all the officers and intendants of the Bailiwick are requested to take care, that all the subjeas confine themselves within the bounds of A wise and diEDDIDI COMIUSI." 1011'1E10N, DEC I. A letter from Breslau contains some details re spefling the Russian troops, which appear more au thentic than those :which hair', been published is the Lemberg Gazette. The army of General Ku mow, upon its arrival upon the hanks of the Inn, was composed of only five column., forming a total of :10,000 effettive men. A 6th and 7th co lumn, which joined it in Lower Austria, forming from about 8 to 10,000 men, raised it to 40,000. We do not believe that it ever amounted to more. But since the opening of the campaign, this army. having lost, upon a probable estimate, from 1.1,000 to 18,000 in killed, wrunded, and prisoners, we cannot now consider it as amountin to more than from f.'2 to 21,000 men. The second Russia's army, command id by Ge neral Michelson, which has been upon its march sirce the month of August, had rot i an id ei-devano Poland until about four or five Wet Ls ago. It is . seid to be from 4o to 50,003 men strang. In a fortnight it miy reach the theatre of war. The first columns have already joined Kutusow. This army is divided into two grand ciirps, which have marched in different diredions. The one com manded by General Buzhowden, had been canton ed for a long time between Radom and Kossenics,, in Western Gallicia. and was from thence to pursue its route by Southern Prussia ; but, in stead of that, it is proceeding towards ('racow, without at all passing through that city. From thence it advauces by Belech, Troppeau. and Jagerndorff, into Austrian Silesia. Three et these columns are still upcn their march. Among these latter are the regiments of the guards of Peters burg, which had remained a lopg time stationed in the vicinuy of Wilna. The second corps, com manded by Michels° t in person, has crossed all ieuthern Poland, and proceedei by the sboaest route to Breslau, where its advanced guard has arrived. The first orders to this corps direaed it to advance into Bohemia, but upon its ar rival at Breslau, Michelson received orders to pro. 'toed to Austrian Silesia, and to join there the corps Of the army of Kutusow and Buthowdea. • * Michelson, it is said, is appointed Generalissimo of all the Ilu;sian forces. It is thought this ap pointment will give general dissatisfadion. This General is detested by the greater part of the other Russian Generals, who, whilst they do justice to his courage and valour, keep at a sii,tance from him, on account of the ferocity of his manners, which are al together Russian, and who, besides, are not sufficient ly acquainted with his talents for holding a great command. Thus, when all these forces will be unite ed, they will form, at most, a total of aO,OOO men. General Tolstoy is, besides, in Lower Saxony, at the head of four corps, destined to co-operate with the English, Hanoverians, and Swedes. They speak also of some other Russian corps, who are to proceed to Germany ; but, whatever their numbers or destination may be, they cannot reach the theatre of war these three months ; and before that time, we may flatter ourselves the war will be terminated. 1- r. tit sr, scmtl. The army of Marshal Augereau having no longer any enemy in the Tyrol to combat, arc returning by the same route they advanced, and re -crossed the Danube at this city, in order to take their post, as an Army of Observation, in the circle of Franconia.

Letters from A uesburgh positively assert, that the corps of the Archduke John. has not been able tel 'den its jitn.fli , m with the army of Prince Charles, because at the moment when it came out of the Italian Tyrol, the army of Marshal Massena was *heady is possession of the whole rem , bora o f Venice.

It is announced in letters from Naples, that His Sicilian D•lajesty has enteted into po.itiveengage ments with the English and Russians, that they shall be allowed to make levies of men in the Nea. politan provinces. The same letters sod, that the command of this army, to be composed of Russians, English, and Neapolitans, is to be given to the Russian General Lacy, who has been at Naples these six months. What will be the end of this perfidy? Has the Court of Naples resolved at last to vie with ths treachery and meanness of that of Londe,'? Has this ungrateful Court already f wgraten, that it rati fiad at Portici, on the Bth of a:lobar, 1803, the Treaty of Neutrality, which its Ambassador had signed at Paris, on the 21st of September? Hes it forgotten, that the fir,t article of this treaty was to panidi and repel by force every infringement of the rights and obligations of neutrality? What does k now mean by suffering the most perfidious of the e. , emies of France (the English) to make levies in the provinces of its Empire? What was the second A r.icle of the Treaty of Pertici ?
