These are the motives which in duced' his Majesty to contract political engage ments, in virtue of which he has jOined . his Ma jesty the Emperor of France against Russia. ,His Majesty expects, with the utmost confidence, that 'all is subjects will concur in fulfilling his pater nal wishes, and not suffer themselves to be led astray by the sophisms of a foreign policy. llis Majesty relies upon the obedience and assistance of his faithful subjects, and upcin the Co-opera tion of each of theta ; hut particularly upon his brave troops, who have in this war already dis tinguished themselves by their zeal, bravery, and discipline."

AUGSBURG, AUG. 23.—We have seen, some days ago, pass through our town, the second bri gade of Neapolitan troops, who arc proceeding to the Grand Army. The regiments of cavalry of the guard, the regiment of mounted velites, and the light artillery of the guard, arrived here on the 21st. They were on the 23d 'followed by two battalions of the foot velites, the 7th regi ment of infantry (in which' there are some hun dreds of Negroes.) All these troops halted, here, and afterwards continued theirroute to Nurem berg. , To-day the battalion of velites, belonging to the guard of his Serene Highness the Prince of BoRG FUSE, arrived here. In 'some of the GOttcnburgh letters, it IS aflirni ed, that the Crown Prince has actually set off for 'Abu, accompanied by Baron Acilerkreutz, for the purpose of having an interview with the Emperoi Alexander. The report of the death•of BUOZZAPAATB, seem ed to diffuse a general joy throughout the metro polis, and most people expressed their hopes that a confirmation of this gratifying intelligence- ould soon arrive. This feeling'would doubtless pre vail all over the world, if the event had really happened. What must ,be the condition of his mind; when he hears, which he certainly will do, as the English Journals are read to him, of the pleasure which his death , would afford in 'this country; particularly as he must infer that it would be still more gratifying in every part of the Con.i tinebt, singe it has suffered much more by his tyranny than we have done, and can have no hope of a deliverance from oppression while he continues to be the scourge of the earth. If his mind were constructed like those of mankind in general, he would suffer deeply by this considera. tion, and it would come upon him with increased poignancy at the present moment, since his pro_ spects in the PeninSula, and, we trust, in Russia also, are Of a very gloomy description. How lamentable is it to reflect, that if this man had employed his vast power and resources to the hap. piness rather than the oppression of mankind, t, at a different state would Europe now exhibit. A Morning Paper, speaking of the wound re. ceived by the French General Otmwot, which is •said to have hen given by a IliscAYArt, ludi crously imputed the Action to the resentment of a Spanish Patriot. The Bisrvyan, however, Was a piece of ordnance of that name. It=is but justice to the Bishop of Noawlcx to state, that he did not visit Ireland, as seems to be insinuated, upon any business rulative to the Irish Catholics, but in consequence_of a message from.the family of'his Lady, who had previously gone to that country, and who was represented to 'be in a state of alarming illness.
