FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. BY EXPRESS. PARIS, rce. 18. It appears that the stay of the Prussian Minister of St.tte, Count Hangwitz, at Paris, will be much longer than was imagined. The Prussian Minister, the Marquis Lucchesini, set out for Bolin the day before yesterday. It is thought that llis Excellency will return in three weeks. yrs. 19. _ _ The Emperor went last Thursday to the Pan theon, minutely inspected every part of it, and in-- dered the works to be continued with dispatch. 'His Majesty has further direeted, that this edifice shall be restored to the Catholic worship, by its old ap pellation of St. Genevieve the Patroness of Paris. To this place will be removed all the monuments which formerly decorated the different suppressed churches, and which arc deposited in the Museum of the street Des Petits Augustins. This church will be set apart as a place of interment for all those Frenchmen who shall have deserved well of their country, in any career whatever. The Emp-i or has likewise directed, that the church of St. Denis shall henceforth be the place of interment of the French Princes. The death of Mr. Pitt has furni.hed the Journal of Angers, with an opportunity of remarking, that this Statesman was burn at Angers, and was cursed for several months in that city, where his father, Lord Chatham, at that time. resided.

The Grand Duke Constantine passed througq Koningsberg, on his return to Petersburgb, the 29th set January. The Emperor of Russia has appointed Prince Dolgorocky to be Inspedor General of the Russian Hospitals in Silesia and Poland. They write from Lemberg, that Generals Kutu saw and Buxhovden arrived at Lemberg on the loth January. Forty-eight thousand Russian troops were to pass through that city ; the first and second column had attired on the I!rth and 21st January. The epidemic fever had eased in Austria and Moravia, but vast numbers of person. continued to die of various complaints. I he day before yesterday, Sunday, the Parisians enjoyed a spetlacle, of which they had been de prived since the departure of the Emperor for the Army. It was that of a grand per tJe in the Court of the Thuilleries, and the Place du Ca: ousel. This exercise, at which the Emperor presided, was one of the must beautiful and brilliant of the kind that has been seen for a long time. The moment the Monarch appeared, he was saluted by the most animated acclamations of an immense mulritude of spedatnrs, attract d by the desire to see the con queror of Austerlitz. His Majesty, mounted on a grey charger, superbly caparisoned, rode through the ranks of all the troops which have recent. ly arrived at Paris. He received horn a great number of persons, memorials and petitions ad dressed by them to the Chief of the State. White the Emperor was attending to the citizans who had favours to ask of him, one of his Aides de-Camp rode through the place, and received the memorials of those who could sot ap proach His Majesty. The Emperor wore the grand cordon of the Order of the Iron Crown ; he had, the Same morning, distributed several grand crosses of that order of tie kingdom of Italy, of which Messrs. Marescalchi and Aldini, residing at Paris, as Mi nister of Eater for Relations, and Secretary of Bute of the above-rrftntioned kirgdern, are Grand Chan cellor and Grand 'Treasurer. When the review WAS ov.r, the acclamations which Lad welcomed the Emperor on his arrival, accompanied him to iris palace. After the parade, the Emperor gave a [sli ver, audience to M. de Cetto, ci-devant Ministet of the Eiet.tor Treatise of Bavaria, who presented his credentials in quality of Minister of the King of ' Bavaria. The whole (arts dridenia'squc was then admitted to an audience of His Majesty, with the usual ceremonies. Most of the Foreign Ministers, who are now at Paris, presented, on chi:: occasion, several distinguished rersors of their tespective na tions. to the Emperor. Among others, those pie- I rented by M. Brairthen, the batavian Arinister, , were particula r:) noticed. Thee were, Admiral Vet hue!, a: the head of the Marine Department at the Hague, and sent to Paris by the Chief Mart;ee trate of the II ttavian Republic; on a confidential mission ; M. Zuiler van Ny veld, attached to the Legation; and M. Brugmans, Professor of the University of Leyden, andiDiretior-Gencral of the Military Hospitals of Holland. In the evening of the same day, the Minister of the Marine gave an exceedingly splendid ball, Which the Empress ho noured with her presence. The pnblic curiosity was, however, soon diverted from these subjeas, by others of still gteater ims pot tance. Last night, during the performance of the first ad of Racine's tragedy of Atha.'id, at the Thiatee Francois, which was honoured by the presence of the Emperor, His Majesty received dispatches from Italy. At the conclusion of the eel, one of the performers came forward, by order of His Majesty, and announced to the audience, that the French Army had entered Naples, and occupied all the forts of that city. as well as all the principal fortresses in the kingdom, and that the Neapolitan army were prisoners of war. This communication was received with an enthu siasm impossible to be described. The presence of the Emperor caused the shouts of applause to he incessant, so applicable to His Majesty's reign was a passage which had just before hero repeated— " Eh, quel him jet jamois plus fertile en miracles V"— What age was ever more fertile in miracles ? The important intelligence of this new success of the Imperial Arms was rapidly circulated, and, to-day, we have all the details. The French Army had only to appear and begin the attack, when the whole country submitted to its new destiny, which will cause it to pass under the domination of one or the branches of the Imperial Family, who will suc ceed the present dynasty in the government of the two Sicilies. The following are the official parti culars : Prince Joseph Napoleon writes to His Majesty, from the head quarters at ('apua, the 14th of Fe bruary, armearricing, that his orders have been ful filled. He states, that he divided his army into three bodies, and marched with the centre division, under the command of Marshal Massena, through Stn Germano and Capua, while the right, under Geuerai Regnier, went by lerracina and Gaeta ; and the left, consisting of a corps of Italians, under General Let chi, proceeded by way of Iti i. ' General Regni.ir, on arriving at Gaeta, sent to the Ponce of Hesse, who commanded that place, the following SUNIMON S. "General—R.:fore 1 begot the operations which wi;l put me in eusses.i.il of the plum which you 01,11'11A114, 1 inv.te you to reflect on your situation, and ors the neon ashy which obliges eon to surrender Gaeta to my army.

In consequence of this' answer, General Reg:;ier ordered so attack to be made upon the redoubt of St. Andre, mounted with six pieces of cannon, which was carried. General Grigny had his head shot off by a cannon ball. He was a distinguished officer, and is much regretted by the army : he has WI a wife and a daughter, whom Prince Joseph has recommended to the Emperor, and has re quested his permission to grant them a pension. On the ('Soh of February, the 'centre division in vested Capua, which answered the summons by a cinch* , ge of its artillery. On the 13th, in the morn ing, a deputationfrom the city of Naples waited on the Prince, and signed the surrender of Gaeta, Capua, Pescara, Naples, and the other torts. (See the annexed papers, B. C. D. E.) General Partounaux has entered Naples: the forts were immediately occupied; and on the 1!) h, Prince Joseph set off for the city. The NcJp , ditau cflicet s having requested rerna . rssion to set ye ; Prince .1 aseph has formed some turps of Nerspoli• ants, and h.as placed over them the Neapolitan officer* who ter: in the pay of the kingdom of Italy. lie has appointed M. Pignatellt to be colonel of die fir st re giment of Neapolitan light intnntry. Prince Joseph has been at Caserta : the buildings appeared very beautitul and magnificent. The people of Naples, as wino as they had recovered from their first alarm, manifested great attachment to the French, and the utmost detestation of the English. That nation is treated as it deserves to be, All over the Continent. His Majesty, the Emperor, was attending the representation of ilthnlit, when he received the in telligsnce of the entry of ha army into Naples. He slireiled General Moreton, the Aide-&-camp in waiting, to cause this news, and the punishment cf the perjury of the Queen of Naples, to be an nounced by Talma, at the conclusion of the first aft. The leaden seeptse of the Queen of Naples, that modern has just been broken for ever ; and the finest country in the wmld will henceforth be under a lirm and liberal Government. The Emperor will revive the kini:dorn of Naples under a Fiench Prince, but he will restore it on the basis of the laws, on the interests of the people, and on the great principle, teat the existence of the Throne, the splendour and power with which Sovereigns are invested, the p-r -peruity of hereditary possession, are institutirms formed for the service and the organization of the people. All Europe will behold, with satishation, the expu4ion from the throne of a Queen who has so grossly abused the sovereign authority ; whose every step has been marked with revolutions, with perjuries, and blood. She is as much hated and despised at Vienna, as she is hated and de spited at Naples. But her name is already con signed to history, for the new kingdom of Naples will henceforth form a part o f t h e federative states hf t!-e French Empire. sri it toil he neceissry f t shake that Empire to its vet y foundation. before new acquisition can be touch-d. On this occasion. France cannot be accused of ambition for what could she do more than pardon three times in the space of a few years ;. nLI what engagements coahl she make with a power who viol aced, twenty days after it had been ratified, the most solemn, and, to itself, the most advantageous treaty The honour of France, and the nature of have hastened the ruin of the Throne of Napf;!, since no passibility any longer existed of concludiee a treaty with it. hasides. the occupation of th'e thrones of Milan and Naples. by French Princes, it scarcely equivalent to the occupation of the thrones of Naples and of Spain by French Princes of the th•rd dynasty. With regard to the kingdom of Naples, the least of its advantages will be, that it will enjoy laxity of commerce, and no longer be subject to the pi racies of the Algerines; but, the fist, and mot natural of all, wail be this, that it will no longer be liable to be made the tlwatre of war, but be f.. , vertt. ed by fixed principles, in conformity with the hap. piness and interest of the people, and not by fatious and insensate passions. It is to the credit of the Neap°lit in nation, that s the principal agents who h toe caused the subver sion of the throne, were Tuscans and foreigners. It is well known, that M. Alton silts an Ln g li s ,h_ man by descent, and by inclination ; that he had secured his property in England, and that he never judged of the interests of Naples, but by the into. rest of England. We may affirm, without pretending to be prophets, that that House, which shall again sacrifice the top ise, the interest, the happiness of the Contineii, to the caprices and the guineas of those greedy and insatiable speculatias, will lose its thitm amid the general applause of all the nation; of the Continent, and of our whole generation ; which, alto having been so long agitated, has at length occasion for peace and tranquillity, and which CAR no longer be deluded with empty words.
