THE SUN. 60141.1 QUIS DICSItr. ?Atli/hi AUDEAT ? L 0 N,D 0 N, THURSDAY, APRIL ai l , Igoso AT the time that BotveaAare made Overtures of Peace to this Country, a proposition of a, pacific tendency was also made by him to the Eta? exox' of RussiA. The °Ned of these Overtures was obvi. busby to destroy the harmony subsisting between this Country and Russia, and to prevent those Powers from joining in a confederacy against him, whom, he flattered himself, he should be able to subdue in detail. We have the strongest reasons to believe that his artifices , have completely failed, at the Court of St. Peterburgh, and that a very short time indeed will elapse before Russia will take an aaive part 'in the 'War against France.— The last Dispatches received by Government are of the most foiourable nature ; the arrangements be. tweets this Country and Russia are in such a state of forwardness, that they will, we believe, be very shortly submitted to Parliament. We have been favoured with the perusal of a Letter from Amsterdam, dated the 9th inst. which States, that it was the general opinion of the Mer cantile People in that City, and even of the French, that a War between Russia and Fiance was ine vitable, and they were in hourly expedation of bearing of the commencement of Hostilities. Several Ships destined fur Russia, that. were taking in their cargoes at Amsterdam, have dis Continued taking in their lading,' in consequence of orders issued for that purpose by the French Commandant. The People in general are extremely averse to the new Con. stitution ; but they knew that all opposition to it would be fruitless, and , there is no doubt that it will be adopted. The principal inhabi. tants of Utrecht have presented a strong Me. tumidl against it. The Batavian Diremury have i ss ued positive orders to the Proprietors of all the Newspapers not to' publish the Memorial. Limiest BOXArARTZ Still continues under arrest. A Private Letter received this morning from Hamburgh, dated April tz, says, " The City of Lubec had offered the French 100,000 marks banal, but on condition that they Should be allowed to &dal from that sum the interest of the last Loan, and receive se. curity that no more bhnuld be required of them during the occupation of Hanover by the French Troops. It is slid they ware encouraged to insist an these terms lay a very favourable Letter from the KIN of Paussr,s, as also by a Letter from the Prussian Minister, HARDENBERG, to General BCRNADOTTE, entreating him no lunger-to moles and obstrua the trade of the City of Lubec. The French General, however, has refused to accept the awn offered, and demands 200,000 marks banco. The Senate has assembled to deliberate on e this de. 'nand, and has positively refused to comply with it, in expeetation of, being supported by the KING ui PRUSSIA. tt We arc assured here that the proposals made to Russia on the part of France, under the mediation of Prussia, have not been accepted by the former Collar, as Russia will listen to no proposals but such as are compatible with the general interests and leace of Europe." Gls. CRAIG, with the Troops under his corn. strand, was expelled to' sail this day. The e and the Dragon, with the Transports, dropped down yesterday to St.' Helen's. The last accounts from the Channel Fleet state, that the movements of the French Fleet indicated a disposition to put to aea. A Letter f rom ,Liverpool, after mentioning the *viva' of the intelligence respecting the evacuation of Dominica by the French, says, " The defence was very gailant, and the enemy lost a great num. bet` of men the loss on our side fell chiefly on the Militia. I have only seen the names of a Mr. 13E Eck killed, and Arm vit.ion wounded, Th e y have retired to Martinique, and intended going a, , ainst St. Lucia, where we have 12 . 00 Rtgllhri no d /50 Mililj4, beiide the crews of the Centaur , and Merchant...ships, ready to oppose them ; in short, the 'Merchants here are in high spirits, particularly those conneflod with aiminica, who, until the tews of this day, were very much depressed. The Ships taken, 'had discharged their cargoes, except isle h e tooting to the piebesit Mayor of this town." T H R namlur g b Mil due yesterday arrived ails morning. The following are the principal A./tides of intelligence which it brings V/INNA, APRIL 3.—The Regiments frotti Bti. ria, Carinthia, and other Provinces, which were ordered to Pardenone, to form a Camp there, have been countermanded, by an order made the day he.. fore yesterday, as the manoeuvres of the' Troops on the Italian Frontiers will not now take place. The new President of the Aulic Council of War, General Count Di LA Tutu, is arrived here. Within the last week the Russian Ambassador, Count RMUlvtp WWI, has had two conferences with the Minister of State, Count COB li EL. MILAN, MARCH 25.—This day advice was re. ceFicrl here by a Courier frlrn Paris that NAPO LEON I. had accepted the Dignity of King of Italy, which intelliget:ce occasioned here the greatest joy. In the course of last week all the Trees of Liberty here were removed. Yesterday a Regiment of Cu. rassiers arrived at Lodi, where it will remain in Garrison. Several other Regiments of Cavalry and Infantry are expeeted in a short time. The greater part of the Austrian Troops distil. bitted along the Adige have now, according to our clazette of this day, gone into cantonments in the Interior of the Country, and princip;illy in the vi cinitY of Padua. There is talk of a Fortress which will be erefted on the Banks of the Adige, in the Austrian Territory, to supply the loss of Mantua. The Anniversary of the . Eleftion of the Po re, who now enters on the 6th year of his government, was celebrated at Rome on the I¢tll inst. by a Mass and other solemnities. Prince BELVIDERIi died at I\l4les on the sth instant. The magnificent State carriages which the Em. pero'r of the French presented Ito the Poi t passed this day through Vercilli. In the Italian Republic the quarantine for, persons and goods coming from Tuscany has been reduced from 40 to zo days. Rome, :VIARCNI 24.--General DANIA', before his departure from Naples for Sicily, .was honoured with . the Order of St. Ferdinand. The report that he has resigned all his places is unfounded. In the notice published on his departure it is expreisly said, that the King had yielded to his request to absent himself for a time from public business, and repair to Sicily ; and that His Majesty had ap. pointed him to the post of an Inspettor of the Troops, with the salary,and emoluments annexed to that oflice. We are assured that General DAMAS has gone to. Messina, to avoid meeting with the Chevalier Actor; at Palermo. GI NOA, Mmtcii a6.—The expense which will be occasioned by the sending of the Deputation front the City to meet , the F:,mperor at Milan will amoont,to two millions of livres and upwards. This sum will probably be raised by some new taxes. A Corvette that was building here is now core. pleted, and we are beginning to raise Sailors for t h e stench service, agreeable to the stipulations of the late Convention. The raising of these men has occasioned ,a tumult in a small village near cenoal; but the insurgents were principally worw, and tranquillity was soon restored. Though the anger and violence of these women, at having their hue. funds taken away, appears tir admit of some excuse, yet the village was condemned to pay a fine of 25,000 !lyres, and to receive a garrison of 200 soldiers. MILAN, MARCH 25. —It is said that the Court of Naples has given to that of France new as. surances with regard to its' neutrality ; that it has eogiged no longer to furnish provisions to the Eng. fish Fleet in the Mediterranean, and has undertaken to maintain the French Troops in Neapolitan States. HANAU, AeltlL 6.—The greatest obscurity still prevails with roped to the conspiracy lat e ly di s , coveted at Stutgardt. Some say there was a plot against the life of the Duke, which has given occa. siun to a great number of arrests ; others say tha t the origin of this affair has been traced to as early a date as 1790. At any rate, it, is not doubles' that M. DE BLANCKENSTEINycommonIyInown by the name of WZZGER, who is under arrest, was t h e informer. On the 2-21 of March a smart shock of an earth. quake was felt at Inspruck. The Canal which will juin the Rhone to the Rhine, and which was bett,un in Odober last, will bear the name of 14 The Canal Naphon." It is also proposed. to creel a monument to his Majesty the Emperor, in the plain of Muhlhauben, on the ' spot where the Grand Canal joins that of Hunin. gum• HAGUE, APRIL 9.—Yesterday the voting for the new Constitution began here, and many v otes were given in Its favour. In the othet towns, as will always be ►he case in ,such changes, there were many opposers of the new Constitution. Several Citizens at 'Utrecht have joined in a representation 6, the DireCiory an►l M. SCHIMMELtUNNINCK, iigainst the Ile , „ti C,m4titutit,n, Tut American Papr: to the 6th ult. which xi.. riveA yesterday, bring no intelligence of importance ; the arrival of the French Squadron in the West ladies was not known in New-York '*t that time. It was reported that DCSSALIwts intended to make an attack upon the City of St. Domingo, and had colleted a formidable Force for that purpose. THE Clyde Ships, part of the West-India Con. voy, have arrived safely at Greenock, except the Gil:era! Humter, MTRAIL, which is supposed to have made for Cork. Lord HAIIItOWBY arrived in Town on Tuesday from Bath; he had a long interview with Mr. PITT the same day, and afterwards dined with him at Lord HAwcssaures. As his Lordship's health is quite re.cstablislied, it is not improbable that he will again return to office. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY and the DUKE Of SUSSEX ) PRINCESSES SOPHIA and AMELIA, ac. companied by Count MUNSTER, General FITZROY, and the Hon. Mrs. EGERTON, took an airing on horseback in Windsor Great . Park. - - HER MAJESTY and PAtticassas took an airing to Frogmore. The Stafford Militia march from Windsor to. motlow for Henley and Reading, Yesterday morning early Sir THOMAS TROU.

ZAIS En!. and which has been shewn to most of the Ladies of high distinction who intend to be present. The whole is surmounted by a lofty plumage of ostrich feathers. The Marquis De Clxort.t.n, the Neapolitan Minister, with his family, and a great many Officers of the Army attached to the Expedition to the Me, diterranean, are to go i n t h e Q ueen. Si r JAMES CR . A 1 G and the Officers of his Suite are to go in the Drava. Sir JOHN STUART, Wild .wils eXpC4ted in the latter ship, has taken a privare store ship for himself and Aides.dt.Camp; the other principal Officers of the. General StaW are di:til)uterl among the men of war and the transports; the latter are some of the finest ships of the description ever fitted out by the Transport Board, Government, yesterday, cAntraaed for the con. veyance of 4 00 tons of ordnance storei to the fol. lowing places, viz. 70 tons to Halifax, in Nu'la Scotia; 160 tons to St. John's, Newfoundland and 2 7 0 to Quebec, Miss F. S, the daughter of wealthy Merchant in the vicinity of lianover-sqoare, went, on Mon day night, to a public ball, in company with her sitter and a party of friends, and while the couples passed Merrily down, the suddenly retired front the room, • This circumstance caused a momentary con fusion, but it Was soon discovered, that a Mili. tury Officer, on the recruiting service, had also ab. tented himself. On inquiry, the fugitives, it was discovered, had rAl;en a coach from opposite port. man-street to Knightsbridge. The disconsolate friends of thela3y have taken every step in vain to An.f nut their retreat. The Officer is the nephew of a Colonel in the , Army, and the lody, who is twenty-four years of age, is already in possession of considerable property. • Ye3terday afternoon the City Brigade, composed of the 3d Loyal Lon.ion, Colonel KENSINGTON; the gth, J. P. 1 - intutity ; and the loth, Colonel R. HANK EY, marched out heir their parades to Hackney.fields, where they were exercised in Bri, gale manoeuvres by Major General LAYAIIII, and appeared to have been dr►lled in the new exercise with considerable effett since the last Br►gade day, The Royal East India Regiments are in enntinuql exercise, each having a drill.day and a dress day every week, so that every day is occupied, preparatory to the Grand Review in Brigade, which will take place in about three weeks. At Ferrol, a similar disposition appears to be manifested by the French and Spanish Squadrons.— The f►►llowing important intelligence cor►rained in a Letter from ar► Ofßeef on board His Majesty's Ship indefarigatie, dated " Off Ferrol. Aprll2. 'I Every opportunity that occurs, we make it our busines to sail in and off the harbour's mouth of Ferrol, to recon• noitre the French and Spanish Squadron laying there. 'They consist of six Sad piffle Line and one frigate, French, and eight Sail of the Line, two Frigates two Sloops, an d one Brig, Spanish. At C orunna there is one French Frigate, making altogether 54 Sail of the Line, fUttr Frigates, two Sloops, and utie Brig. 4' The French are already manned, and have a great num. her of 'Droops on board, and are expeeied to sail hourly. The Spaniards are not sufficiently manned as yet. Yesterday we boarded an American Ship that had just corms out from her. rol, and the Captain assured it that the Fretich would in the course of a few days put to sea, and that th e y were supposed to be destined for th e West Indies. 44 This day we were becalmed close in with the Ilarbour's mouth, off Ferrol. The Spaniards immedimely on seeing this came out in 21 lari-,e Gun-boats, and commenced a very heavy cannonade on us We took it coolly, and got our bower cable arranged along the deck, with springs on it, all ready to anchor, but a light breeze having sprung up, w e were able to brirsg our broadsid e t o b ear on them so corriplett— ly, that they soon judged it expedient to sheer off with the greatest speed." The Insurance Society, Shipowners, Merchants, and Underwriters of 'Bombay, in consequence of the coadutt of Sir NATUANI Ili. DANCE in the With LI No It, have entered into a subscription, and live thousand pounds were soon raised, which h ave b e e n sent home, as a 'tribute of their respect fur that gallant Officer.
