i - • )1 of our politicians, they have not hitherto be.e. Ile to discover any thing positive concerning the em•r,n4'r of the artisles of the tre..ty of Presburg ; but the want of publicity on this head will nu longer appear sur ; stising, whorl it is kn , wn that many of the most import Ant articles of this treaty being sub ject to the acceptation of other Courts, whom it may be desirable to conciliate or to disarm by sacri fices, it is- pertec.ly simple that tbr public should not yet be admitted into the secret. The voluntary retreat of the allied powers from the Electorate of Ilanoser, which has taken place in coisseq ience of their negociations with Prussia, t►e mission of Messrs. de Haugwita and Lombard, from the Litter Court to Paris, demonstrate that negociations are en foot for a general pacification, the hope of which most ■at'trally depend, or more properly speaking, direct the effect of the transas— Lions at Presharg. It is, however, indubitable, that we are on the eve of very important events, which will instantaneously give a new lace to the politics of Europe. Orders have been issued for recruiting all the regi ments ►educed to skeletons by the unskilful manceu ems (sot to use a harsher term) of General Mack. This measure is so much the more necessary, as we tan depend only an the return of the national pri• goners, alt hnpe at recoveting the others, especially the Poles, being apparently abandoned. It is teporte , l, that the F,mperor will make a jour soy into Bohemia, where he w:II remain for a Plrt night. The states of that kingdom, which has dis tinguished itself by its patriotism and its loyalty, !stye obtained, like those of Austria, the privilege of wearing a and ,rm ; it will be green, richly embroi dered with geld. Report speaks of a projeft, the execution of which •would give a great military consistency to this mo harchy, anJ would infallibly revive a martial spirit. The unexampled loyalty manifested by the inhabit. eats of the capital and the country people, has created cor fidence in the sovereign ; who is said to have resolve., to permit his subjects to form volunteer corps, lik- those of Vienna. They will meet and Irrn Ci Se (mee every fortnight, but are never to be called out, unless for tie defence of the frontiers. This measure will furnish a force of 600,000 men, at the first sound of the drum. When the deputation c( the armed burghers of Vienna waited upon the Archduke Charles to present their homage, that Prince gave them the appellation of comrades— ( Knees- Cnrearadrir.)

This letter does not speak of the reported disunion between the Eng lish and Russian troops.

Waitzburg was occupied on the lit inst. At twelve o'clock at noon all the Bavarian arms were taken idovftt, and those of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria put up in their place. Afterwards a Proclamation was published to the people, giving them to understand, that this had taken place in punt/aloe of the peace concluded at Presburg. But as the Archduke's indemnity here is far front being adequate, it is thought that some other countries will he added to it, and that the move ments of the French troops in our vicinity have re lation thereto. 141LAK.„1•N. Kasha) MAssena, after arriving at Bologna from the Austrian states, soon proceeded on his farther destination. On the 17th of this month he joined the army marching to Naples on the Papal fron tiers. On that slay he arrived at the head-quarters of the army at Spoletta, where he tock the com mand, and addressed the following proclamation to the troops : ARMY OF NAPLES ...ORDER OF THE D " Soldiers, lead Quartets, at Spolette, Jan. 18. " His Majesty the Emperor and King has confided to me the honour of conducting you to the new theatre of vu.r. While Isis arms wars employed in re-estedishing the tuuntla tion acitilized E,:rope, a ',enured Court opened as port: to the English, those eternal dt,turhers of the Continent, and to those Russians, whoni he had conquered and huntilided on the plains of Austerlitz. " Soldiers of 1151)-esThe recollection of so important a day till militantly excite in you transports of enthusiasm Re, member that you ate now going to Agin in the same cause. Your Emperor has his eyes Axed on you. He wilt soon juilge whether you are worthy of participatrug in the glory his brave troops have acquired in this campaign.

I true you will chew yourselves faithful to the rules of di*tipline, for, without that Adrift*, no rem; honour Van elitist. When your arms shall *pen to you the territory occu pied by the enemy, remember, Soldiers, that though it is guar duty to punish a Government which has been unfaithful to its treaties, you are not at wat with fiat people. The annals of our country present more than/me exam - i lls:of union and good un derstanding botwarn the French and the N-apolitans. MASSENA, " Genend in Chief, and Muchil of the Empire" It does not appear, however, that Marshal Mas sena will long retain the command. Prince Joseph, the Emperor's brother, has arrived in Italy, and is to head the expedition against Naples. Meanwhile the troops are advancing : a column arrived on the 19th at Rome, and, after resting there some days, continued its march towards Naples. It appears that His Sicilia. Majesty has endeavoured, by the intervention of the Pope, to avert the storm which threatened Naples. Such, it is said, was the ohjea of Cardiaal Ruffo's journey to Rome; but that Pre late, it seems, did not succeed in his mission. The same Prelate afterwards set out for Paris, as it is said,but it is very doubtful whe:her he will be mere strecessfal in that quarter than in Rome. The fate of Naples will soon be decided by arms. The in ternal state of that kingdom is, at present, little known. In particular, there is no authentic advices respeaing the movements of the foreign troops.— The embarkation of the Russians is still reported to have taken place. Article from Cadiz, dated Jan. 14, and publish. ed by the Official French Journal :—A Portuguese frigate, arrived from the Brazils, brings the follow ing report : —An English squadron, with sixty transport vessels, having from eight to ten thousand men on board, for debarkation, having arrived in the roads of Brazil, sent a brig to Baya to an nounce that a tempest they experienced had obliged them to enter there ; that they were in want of provisions, and unable to proceed far- ther, in consequence of the vessel, en board of which were the sealed papers respeaing their desti nation, having been whr,lly wrecked on the rocks of Fernando. The day after the arrival of the brig, she squadron entered, and cast anchor. The Portuguese Commandant-General had placed all his forts in a state of defence, and had armed all the freemen, and even the slaves. He prepared, with his garrison, to defend the place, in case the enemy intended to aft as they did at Gna. The English General demanded refreshments. He was answered, he should have whatever supplies could be afforded. He &sired to land his troops, which was refused; but it was agreed, that 400 men should debark, without their arms, at a place appointed, on condi tion that they returned on board the same evening. A place was pointed out for the English to establish their hospital fir the Sick. It appears that this squadron is likely to'remain there for some time, if it he true that it must wait for new inserts/lions. According to the reports circulated at Madeira. the English Commandant, when he anchored, wished also to debark there. It is presumed, that the true destination of this squadron was the Brazils, or the Spanish possessions. • THE BRITISH PRESS. lA)NDON, THURSDAY, Fssaumtv co. Yesterday we received Paris Papers to the 11th, and Dutch to the 16th inst. The former are to tally barren of information. The Utter throw some light on the affairs of Naples. Marshal Mas sem A, on the 17th of January, joined the French ar my for the invasion of that kingdom, on the papal frontiers, at Spoletta, where he took the command, and addressed a Proclamation to the troops, pointing out the Government of Naples to their vengeance. A column of this army had arrived at Rome on the 19th, and, after some days rest, continued its march for Naples. It was supposed that JOSEPH BON A... PARTE would assume the command in chief of the French army, before it entered that devoted king ciom. Private letters, of the 14th of January, from Naples, state, that the Russian and English troops were on the point of embarking, and that the Court was making preparations for its departure for Sicily. An article from Cadiz, of the 12th, said to have been puhlished in the l'oni'ear, states the arri val of a Portuguese frigate, a ith an account that an English squadron, with 60 transports, having I o,ooonien on board, had arrived at the Brazils; they pretended to have suffered a storm, and did not know %here to go, the sealed papers which contained the secret of their destination having beet, last ; they therefore requested to be accommodated there, until they received farther instruCtions. Alter same ex planation, they were allowed to establish an hos pital on shore, and Lad some trorps, but without arms. if there be any truth in this story, it must be Sir Hosts Portia x's squadron, and this was a stratagem to get quiet possession of that colony, with a view to proted it against the French. The Hortre Cworda, of the 15th inst. contains a Proclamation of Marshal A VGENIAU, dates Darm stadt, the 4th, levying, on the City of Frankfort, a contribution of one million. All the previous papers assured us, that BON Ar•ars was to respell the free City of Frankfort.
