Letters fruit Italy mention, that the Arch-Duke John, after inspoling the Austrian troops, in the ei-domet Venetian territory. has visited all the . mountains in Tyrol, together with the different mi litary positions in that country. His Royal High ness had in his suite the first officers of the engineers in the Austrian service, which has caused some un easiness and much speculation in the Italian Repub. lic ; but as our troops, during the last war, occupied entirely Tyrol, the military positions there are as well, if not better known to us, than even to the Austrians themselves ; and with the iron frontiers, with which the French Empire, the Italian Republic, and our other allies, are surrounded, the valour of our troops will soon make us master of it again, should English or Russian intrigues bring about a conti nental war. and the Emperor of Germany forget our taartatim and gentrosity, in the treaty of Lune wille. Notwithstanding the number of Russian troops in the Seven Islands, they with difficulty keep the in habitants quiet, who are unanimous in their wish of once more being united with the French Empire. Trees of Liberty have lately during the night been Vidlitcd in many places, and though cut down during the day by the Russians, aew have again been planted. As they dared not wear outside their hats the emblem of I rencii rrrrnera tiers and liberty, the tri-coloured cockade, it was sewed fast inside, and had long been a signal to rally, for all true patr'ots. Some traitor discovered this lady to the President, who is entirely in the Russian interest ; and the haler, who invented and sold them. after being fined one hundred sequins, was sent away to Terra Firma. This p, trig is a Frenchman by birth, and is now on his way to Pa eh. The Russian partisans report, that 10,000 more Russian troops will arrive in the Seven Islands before the autumn. Upon the Emperor's return from the coast, and during His Majesty's residence at St. Cloud, Mal. maisun, or any other places the same distance from the capital of his empire, he is always to be ACCoIII - ponied with certain members of each section of the • Council of State, some Senators, and all the misters. Those who cannot be lodged in the Im perial palaces will be quartered in a manner wrathy their rank upon the principal inhabitants, or new hotels a ill. at the Emperor's expence. be built Isir their receptian their salaries will, besides, be doubled during their absence from Paris, or during sister journeys with the Emperor. The Eledlor of Bavaria has ordered numerous re emit% to be raised in the principalities of Vsrutz burgh and Bamberg, acquired by His Serene Highness as indemnities iu the late peace. They write from Munich that the Bavarian army will soon amount to 60,000 men, of whom 40,000 will be encamped near the capital next autumn. The General of Division Mainoni, a German by birth, and Governor of Mantua, has been appoint ed by the Emperor a Commander of the Legion of llonour. Great sickness prevails among the soldiers of the Italian Legion quartered in the Island of Elba. The Vice President of the Italian Republic has addressed $ Memorial to the Emperor of the French on this account,, and his Majesty has graciously ordered se• vend French Officers of Waltz, to go to that island, and has besides taken other measures, so that it is - i Loped this complaint will soon cease. / The installation of tort new Sc u ators has tak en place with great pomp a t G enoa i n t h e N at i ona l Palace.

LON DON, MONDAY, ACM'S'. 13. The Gawk of Saturday night announces, that all the ports of France, from Havre to Antwerp, are declared in a state of blockade : Brest and Toulon were already in that situation ; and we shall nut be surprised, if, after the arrival of a Russian auxiliary fleet, which, according to report, is upon its way to join us. the Scheldt, the Meuse, the lexil, and the Ems, shall suffer the same fate. England has often astonished the world, by the extent of her sesnurces and the greatness of her exertions; bat never were her strength and visit more niani fest than in this attempt to throw a chain ouout one half of Europe, from the coast of Denmark to the Gulf of Genoa; thus cutting off the meek Emperor of Fe ANcs and his dominions from all intercourse ss ith three fourths of the globe. We never thought, as patty spirit would insinuate, that Mr. PITT condemned the system of his prede cessor, merely on account of some iniperteStions in the Defence Bill, and the insulEcisnsy of the naval s see off Boulogne. England esseSted from his ents• r/ i sing and ardent mind, a bold, vigorous, and comprehensive system of warfare. Too long have the anscoito fie , ts" of France been suffered to boast their escapes fro t port ui port, in sight Mt a British Navy. But fleets and armies will not spring freln the earth, at the mete stamping of a Mini ster's toot. It r, quilted time t•i pr.vide stout brigs and slumps, sufficient, in minsbet and quality, tor an enterptise of such vas. extent as that now upon the eve of being e-rota: into cited ; and if the prepatotinus be now ..srnplste, no man can charge the inister with delay. As a military mca,u,e, this is the most effeaual mode of vas fare that present circumstances admit. It sv:l give a death blow to all that gases:sc..: :1 which inspire the slaves of Bo :AP-::TL wi h false courage, and foreign nstioas with a false sled of his pnwer.

T idea t our superiority being thus ever present elt ey:s, fsar will take possession of their hearts, and all toe enthu siasm sought to be excited by dreams, sy omens, and every other artifice of s iperstitii ii, wit. di. .way That the Neutral Powers supply sue French arse sits with naval stores, the Gazetteers of Bus rE do not affea to conceal. But, by this eastire, every exterior means of recruiting or augmenting his fosse are cut off, along with every s, scies (it to reign trade. The difficulties in the way of invasina will consequently encreose, and the privations, which neutrals share in common with Fiance, must extend and coniirm the desire for the return of peace. The exercise of the right to visit 'nd search newt ols has been questioned, and never fails t u produce senior.- stronce and In the Lee w.tt, it pr( .a.:e I the Northern Convention against Eng:and. The right of blockade, on the contrary, has not been disputed, and it is more efficient than the right of visiting nem: a's. I; operates severely. to doubt, upon neutral coaanerce ; but, as it is just. neutrals do not complain, and entertain on that account an hostile feeling. For these, and mmy other obvious reasons, this bold, vigorous, and comprehensive uo , dertoking, is entitled to the praise of every man who feels for the safety, die glory, and pr, %petits , of England. It displays her greatness, and the LI , tleness of her enemy. It changes the invader into the invided ; and elevates a defensive into an off, n sive spirit. Should this system he persevered in tor only a few months, the little foreign commerce that remains to France will be annihilated. When an old trade is intercepted by force, it cannot return to its ' old channel as soon as the restraint has been removed. We have received some of the sm 01 Paris Papers, to tie Ist, from which we have made some extratts. All our homeward-bound fleets are safely arrived ; while G Cl.llll vol., who probably expeftel to he able to intercept some of diem, has thought flt to put back into Brett.

About ose o'clock yesterday, as three little boys were playing at the fort, one of them, cf the name of Ait MIT AGE, ran after a butterfly, and fell down the high cliff. He fell into a hole, whirl► had some water in it, and had both his knees broken. The mother saw the accident ; but was unable to give any assistance.
