THEY write from Palermo, that the preparations for the journey of the KtrG of NAPLES to Spain have commenced ; and from Barcelona, that the greatest preparations aie making for his reception, in that City. They write from Bologna; under date of the i 7th of March; that so great a quantity of snow had fal len in the Appenines within the two days preced. ing, that the road between the confines of the Ita lian Republic and those of Tuscany was obstrutled for many leagues. A great number of travellers had been forced to stop at Brlogna, and commerce was entirely suspended. CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 25.--The French Ge neral VIAL is expeded here immediately, to regu late the commercial relations between our Govern. ment and the Merchants of his Nation. RUFFIN has not yet made the customary visit to Lord ELGIN, as Charge d' ,tfaires of the French Republic. Some persons are ready to attribute this delay to a political motive, but it may also be ascribed to private reasons. The last news from Egypt is not more favourable than the preceding : the English have relaxed nothing in the rigorous measures which they had adopted. It is feared that this state of things will be extremely burthensome to our Commerce, which, since the Conquest of Egypt, has been prepared for great speculations. Two thousand houses _have been destroyed by fire in this Capital within these few days. The loss to the proprietors amount to many Millions. The Courier from Vienna, of the 19th of Ja. nuary, after having been expelled for more than a month, is at length arrived here, but in a most mi serable state, having been attacked and robbed by the Brigands of Romelia, who left him nothing but his clothes. The Courier of the zd inst. ought also to have arrived before this, 'and it is feared he has met with the same fate. - StOCKHOLNI i MARCH 16.—There has appeared this morning an Instrudion from the KING to the Chancellor of the Court, by which His Majesty confides to this eminent Officer an inspection the most extensive and the most severe, over all ing Presses, and the sale of all Books and Periodical Works in this Kingdom. Conformably to this Instruc tion, the Chancellor of the Court is solely charged with the Police respeding the objeas above-men , tionect, and he is to decide without appeal, upon all differences relative to them:- As de Z 1 B. ET, the a&ual Chancellor, is one of the most celebrated of the Swedish Literati, thei-e is reason to hope that the Arts and Sciences will flourish in this king dom under his Administration. VIENNA,. MARCH ZO4--We are assured that the ARCHDUKE CHARLES has succeeded in persuading Field-Marshal the PRINCE DE COUOURG to quit his Hermitage, .and to return to Vienna, where he will labour conjointly with the ARCHDUKE in the new organization of the Austrian Troops. According to Letters from European Turkey, the PACHA of SILISTRIA will not accept the Pa- Chalie of Belgrade, on account - of his great age. The Porte has in consequence appointed another, of whose name we are at present ignorant. The Ja nissaries continue their preparations for defence with the greatest ardour : they endeavoured to force the Servians to join them in their labours, but the latter energetically refused. A Paella has, it is said, arrived at l'algoro (one days journey from Belgrade) with a thousand Troops, who is to be joined by a more numerous body, when he will march against Belgrade, in concert with the son of the deceased Paella. MAaCH 23.--The news from Iht*gar) becomes daily more and more interesting : all the Troops cantoned in that Country are in motion, and it is no longer doubtful that it is intended to occupy some of the Turkish provinces. Several Battalions of Austrian Troops stationed in Transylvania have received orders to march to Schisburg, Cronstaa't, and Hermanstaa't, and several detachments are ex pe&ed at Bistriez. The number of those assem bled in Transylvania amounts to 24,000 men.— It is generally supposed that they are intended to occupy Bucharest, 7'ergowist, and the other Prin_ cipalities of Wallachia. Another Cordon of Austrian Troops is formed on the frontiers of Bosnia and Servia. A numerous Austrian Army is also assembling in Eastern Gallicia. The Troops destined for the adTanced guard of that Army have their rendezvous at Halitz and bobrilow. These Troops are to be commanded by General STARR AY, and seem in tended to seize upon Moldavia. A Corps of Russian Troops is to co-operate with them, and to take possession of Bender and Akierman. It is thought probable that these preparation's arc in tended to procure on establishment for the French Pretender, or for the Kt NG of Salto Tx's. STUTGARD, MARCH 27.—The three Hanseatic Yesterday a General Court was held at the East 1 India House, for the purpose of considering the printed Papers on the Private Trade of India— when the following Motion was made by Mr. TWINING, and seconded•by Mr. HUDDL ESTONE : " Resolved, that this Court confirm and approve the Proceediugs of the Court of Dire6tors upon the subjeCt of the Private Trade of India. That in their proceedings they have shewn themselves, and the Court are convinced will always shew themselves, desirous of preserving, by reasonable arrangements, that good understanding with the Board of Commis sioners, which is so important to the interests both of the Public and the East India Company ; but that the Court of Dire Tors be authorised to take such further steps as may appear to them necessary, for the defence of those rights which have been solemn ly sanctioned to the Company by their Charter, Which are essential to the interests of the Public as well as of the Company, and to the violation of which the Proprietors of East India Stock can never consent." In the course of a very animated'debate, it was moved by Mr. Imp EY, and seconded by Mr.HE Nc H MA N, to leave out all the words after " That," in order to insert the following Resolved, " That the question of Private Trade be tween India and Britain, on which such opposite opi nions are holden by persons of the highest authority, appears to this Court to involVe - considerations of the utmost importance, as well to the East India Com pany as to . the Maritime, Commercial, and Politi cal Interests of this Kingdom ; and this Court is of opinion, that previous to the final arrangement of a permanent system, a full and fair experiment should be made, as proposed by the Board of Commissioners fur the Affitirti of India." • At a very late hour the Question being loudly called for, it was moved that the original word, stand part of the Question ; which being carried in the affirmative, a division was demanded on the main Question, and Messrs. KEMBLE and IMPEY were appointed Tellers, who reported the numbers • to be— - 1 34 32 For the Question Against it Majority for the original Motion The Speakers for the original Motion were, Messrs. TWINING, HUDDLESTONE, JONES, ADA/ R, Sir FRANC IS BARING, Lord KI NNA IR D, Messrs. MOORE, BOSANOU ET, BE' 13 B, THORNTON, and Cli laHOLME. -102 Against . it, Messrs.

Great, preparations are making in various parts of the !necropolis' for the approaching illuminations : those for M. ar - ro, at his house in Portman square, are on a very large and magnificent scale. The Marchioness Of HERTFORD gave a grand rout on Wednesday night, which was attended by a vast crowd : of Fasionables. Manchester-square and some of the adjoining streets were completely filled with carriages. Mrs. WALPoLt had a Party at her house in Grafton-street on Wednesday evening, which was very numerously. attended. Mr. MILES PETER ANDREWS gave a very grand Entertainment, consisting of a Concert and Supper, on Tuesday evening, at his House in Cleveland-Row, to an. immerse Company of high Rank and Fashion. An Ode was performed of his own composition, which wii, of course, much ad mired and applauded. Upwards, of 700 persons were present, among whom were the PRINCE, and the DUKES, Of CUMBERLAND and CAMBRIDGE, &C. &C. The Lady MayoresS does not give on Monday next the annual rout, on account of the Mansion_ house being fresh painted ; but there is no doubt of her Ladyship's following her predecessors, as soon as possible. We would recommend it to Madame MARA, not to turn round to the Band'in the manner she did on Wednesday evening. It is disrespeftful to the Audience, and cannot be very gratifying to the Bind, as it leads to a supposition, that they are not playing in time. Many of the best ?lieu in the City have been complaining, for some days past, that they are not, in the Stocks ! A present was yesterday made to the LORD MAYOR by HENRY SHEPHERD, Es-q. Water Bai liff, of a large Porpoise caught within the juris_ dktion of the City of London in the Thames. A melancholy affair happened a few days since on board an American Ship lying outward bound at Gravendale, near Don, in Holland. The Sailors, conceiving their number dot sufficient to navigate the Vessel, mutinied against the . Captain and Mate ; and, in the evening, 4bo ut seven o'clock, they pro ceeded to the cabin, threatening to hang the latter. The Captain, in return, threatened to fire among them, if they did not desist ; but this intimation not producing the smallest effea, he put his purpose into execution, and killed one man on the spot. The Captain and the Mutineers are at present in eon finenient at fort. Wednesday setnnight, whilst the town of Bea_ minster was illuminated, a house in the centre of the place caught fire, and but for timely assistance would have been burnt down. At Yeovil, during the il lumination there, a Lady's dress was set on fire by a rocket: Friday a Corances inquest was held at Mells, Somersetshire, on the body of farmer Jenkins, who was wilfully murdered by his son_in-law, John Hon. der, A reward was immediately offered for his ap prehension, and he was taken or/ Saturday.; near Shaft:thuryb • • , • towns, Bi•eviin; Ifanibursh; and bileC; have madt new represenkations to the Diet, fOr the ptirpose of preserving their Independence; and assuring to them= selves; in case of War, an unlimited Neutrality.— M.

The footing upon w hi c h the Bovereign hard thought proper that those RegiMents should serve: was the same with that upon Which several other British Regiments had served before amongst others, the present sth and 6th of Fodt, the Ofii cers of which suffered no loss of rank, when trap ferred from Dutch to British pay. Whence it czin. not be imagined to have been the intention of the Crown, that an interruption of an Alliance should affea the Rank of the Officers of the other three' Regiments, or of their successors.' • Although His Majesty's intention of recalling these last was desisted from, the Officers thought. that when an interruption happened iii the Alliance, they 'certainly would he recalled. However, in hopes, as they were informed, of a speedy accom modation, they were allowed to remain abroad until the States General issued an Rdie_t for changing them into Dutch Troops: A few months bet Ore the time appointed for • the execution of this Ediet, HIS MAJESTY was pleased to order a Letter to be written for the direction of the Officers ; .tuthoris.: ing such of theth as were particularly connetted abroad, to retain, in the country where it was most convenient for them to reside, all the advan tages that the Military Line affords, and promising his gracious protection to such of them as should return to this Country. - There was no necessity for its being specified in the Letter, that the Officer' who should refuse to quit the Royal Colours of Great Britain should not e:stclude themselves thei-e. by from the Military Line.. It Was certain that His MAJESTY would not give them tie least en.. couragement to renounce the advantages which their Brother Officers were autho'rised to retain, without resolving that they should suffer no loss by trusting. their fortune in fife to his disposal. As all that can excite the ambition of the greatest Military Charadersdepends.upon Rank, the loss of it is the same to Officers, that the loss of a great pecuniary Property is to Persons whose object is,the acquisi_ . tion of riches. Theref ore , as the Officers could not avail themselves of _His Majesty's gratious offer, without renouncing the Rank which the States General left in their option; and which their Brother Officers were authorised to retain, it cannot be doubted that His MAJEs - rt considered that offer as the same with the most explicit promise that their Rank should be secured in the British Army; conformably to the undoubted intention of 4is Royal Predecessors, who detached these Regiments from that Army': so that if any thing haS been done to the contrary, it was Withok His MAJESTY'S sane. donor authority.
