The long talked of junction of MURAT with the Allied forces,. it is said, is .at length confirmed, and 40,000 Neapolitans are said to be about to join the confederation' against France conditionally that Muaivr is to enjoy his kingdom for lite and his eldest son to have the dukedom iu Italy for his inheritance.

GRA- 11AM ; and when the Packets came away it Was known, at Helvoet, that the bombardment of that place had commenced, and as it was supposed, with every prospect of destroying the fleet : this . opinion is further corroborated by the arrival of an Officer from the Roompot, who re ports, that, previous to his departure, Admiral YotJ*G had sent the Nymphen and ;oral frigates, with two heavy brigs, through the Weiling Pas sage, to force their way. by Flushing, and assist in a general attack on.

The ice between i3lacktriars and London Bridges . gave way yesterday, as we on Saturday predicted it would, in consequence of the-high tides. On Saturday thousands of people walked on the ice fronecnie bridge to the other, notwithstanding there were evident signs of its speedily breakiag np ; and even early yesterday morning some-fool hardy persons passed over from Bank-side to Queen h idle. About an hour atter th is, the whole mass gave way, and swept with a tremendous range through the noble arches of Blackfriars-bridge, carrying along with it all within its course, including about forty barges. The new erections for the . Strand bridge impeded its progress, and a vast quantity of the ice was *ere collected, but the strong cur rent on the Somerset-house side carried every thing before it, and the passage of the river be came at last free. Numbers of boats were then • busily employed, saving rafts of, timber, and tow ing the drifted barges to the shore. On Saturday morning, lir. Laurence, of the Feathers, in Timber-street, Queenhithe, erected . a booth on the Thames, opposite Brook's Wharf, for the accommodation of the curious. At nine o'clock at night he left it to the care of two men, taking away \ all the spirits and liquors except a pint of gin, which he gave to the two men for their own use. 'At two o'clock 'yesterday morn, in; the tide began to flow at London Bridge with great rapidity, nd being occasionally re strained in its impetuosity by the obstructions of the vas pieces of ice, it is impossible _to conceive its fury when that restraint was beoken down. Time thaw assisted the efforts of, the tide, and the booth was hurried along with the quickness , of lightning towards Blackfriars - Bridge. 1 There were seven men in the booth, and in their alarm at the violence of their progress, they ne glected the fire and candles, which - communi cating with the covering, set it instantly.' in a flame. They succeeded in getting into a lighter, which had been broken from its moorings.; but immediately after this protection left them, being dashed to pieces against the arches of Blackfriars Bridge. The poor fellows, most of whom were exhausted, however, got hold of the balustrades, and having rested alittle, reached (five ( ;of them) Puddle Dock, and the other two a barge. We are concerned to state, that a considerable number of persons were lost in imprudently ad venturing upon the ice on the Thames on Satur day, above Battersea Bridge. FRENCH PAPERS. THE BCPPRESSED MONITEUR; OR THE DOUBT. MONITEUR OP 20, 1814 / ADVERTISEMENT. There has appeared in.circulation a small num ber of copies of The Moniteui, No. 20, dated Jan. 20, the contents of which are almost, entirely diffe rentlront those of The Illimikar published and distributed on the same day. This phenomenon of the appearance'. of , a double Newspaper, with _ the same number, and the same date, has eY-tited the more curiosity, as those ‘Nrio were in posrs sion of it, spewed it only in a secret manner,.as if it .had been illegally obtained. We have taker' all possible means to obtain it, and to learn how this Paper escaped from the printing-office of The Moniteur, auia we have succeeded._ It Contains the papers relative to the negociations for peace. We have learnt that this number was printed, and that the delivery . of it was begun, when the prin-• ter received orders to suppress the impression, and take back all the copies that had been distributed. It should seem that this order having been given late, it was not possible to get back more than a small part of the copies already distributed; we know not whether some subscribers more cunning or less do cile than the others, refused to give them back, or whether the order was negligently executed. Be it as it may, the persons in whose hands these copies remained have shewn them; and some bare ,even sed them' for money. It was in this latter. man we obtained that which we reprint. We have asked ourselves, what motives could have led to the suppression of thiS paper, and we have disco vered nothing certain on this head ; but in read ing in The Moniteur, No. 20, of the 20th January which was published, and which the Editor ac knowledges, the article " Park," which ari nounces, that the 'Duke of Vicence was- to re ceive his passports at Chatillon-sur-Seine, we con jecture that the courier who brought this informa tion arriving in the night of the-19th, this news was supposed to be of such a nature, as would satisfy the public; and make it 'unnecessary to give it the satisfaction of learning by the state ment of the negociation, the point at which it• had arrived. In our 0pi,.i0,1 this reasoning was false, and in _whatever manner the indiscretion has taken place, we profit of it, and will let the public benefit of it likewise. t Here follow the Declarations at Frankfort . ; Prince Schwartzenberg's Proclamation to the French, dated Lorrach o Dec.2l ; arid Field-Mar shal Blucher's Proclamation to the inhabitants of the left hank of the Rhine, dated January 1,1814., which have been already before the Public ] NOTE OF COUNT METTERNICH INANS'VER TO-THAT OF THE DUKE OF BASSANO, DATED DRESDEN, AUG. 11 PRAGUE, AUG. 18, 1813.!--The undersigned Minister of State and for Foreign Affairs, receiv ed yesterday tlte official note which his Excellency the Duke of Bassano did hint the honour to ad dress to him on the 18th inst. • It is not now that war has broken out between Austria, and France, that the. Austrian Cabinet thinks itself ealled . Upon to reply to the gratuitour exculpation contained in the note of the . of Bassano. Supported by the general opinion, Austria . calmly awaits the judgment of Europe, and that of posterity.„ The Proposal of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, still offering to the Emperor a glimmer ing of hope to attain a general pacification, his Majesty has thought it his duty to lay hold of it. In consequence, he has ordered the undersigned to acquaint the Russian and- Prussian Cabinets with the desire for the opening of a Congress, which should employ itself during the war with the means of bringing about a general pacifica tion. Their Majesties the .Emperor AlexanAer and the King of Prussia, animated by the same sentiments as their august Ally, has authorised -the undcrs4gned to declare to the Duke of Bas sano, that being unable . to decide on, a point in which all seem equally interested, without having previously conferred upon it with the other Allies, the three Courts will, without delay, make them acquainted with the proposal of France. The undersigned is charged to transmit, with as little delay as possible, to the French Cabinet, the overtures of all the Allied Courts in an an swer to the above proposal. • lie has the honour to offer to his: Excellency the Duke of Bassanc, the renewed assurances of his high considet ation. (Signed) The Count of ;METTERNICH. REPORT OF THE BARON DE ST. AIGNAU tire On the nth October, haVing been for two days past treated as a prisoner of war at Weimar, at which place were the head-quarters of the Em perors of Austria and Russia, I received orders to dep:trt the next day with a column of prisoners, who were to be sent to Bohemia. - I. had till then see•.i nobody, tior made any reclaMmion, thinking that the title with which I was invested was suf ficient reclamatio'n of itself, and having protested beforehand against the treatment which I expe rienced': In these circumstances, however, I thought it my duty to write to Prince Schwart zenberg and Count Metternich, representing to them the unsuitableness of this proceeding. Prince Schwartzenberg immediately sent to me Count Parr, his own aide-de-camp, to excuse the mistake that had been made respecting me, and to desire me to call either on him or on Count Metternich. I immediately repaired to the house of the latter. Prince Schwartzenberg having just absented himself, Count Metternich received me with marked eagerness. He said but a few words on my situation, from which he took upon him self to relieve me, being happy, as he said, to do me_ this service ; and, at the same time, to ex press the esteem which the Emperor of Austria had. conceived for the Duke of Vicenza. Then . he spoke to me of the Congress; without my hav ing said any thing that could lead to this conver sation :—" We were sincerely.desirotts - of peace," -said he ; " we are so still ; and we shall make it. Nothing more is required than to take up the ques 7 .tion frankly, and without evasions. The coalition will remained united. The indirect means which the Emperor Napoleon would employ to obtain peace, can no more succeed. Let the parties de clare themselves frankly, and peace will be made." After this pouversation Cotint Metternich de- yep e I s f_t ib t ; f! hear from #. him ; and that he hopd td se tin' Ott my lethin. I Set off for Toepliti on the 27th Cler; sober. I arrived there cii the 30th - , and on the cld November I reeeired a letter, from Unfit Metter4- nich, in consquetice of which I quitted Toeplitt on the 3d November, tind repiired to the heed quarters of the Emperor of Austria,-at Fraukfort,; where I arrived do 'the Bth. I went, the same day to Count Metternich. He spoke to me immedi= ately of the pFogrAs of the allied arms—of the Ye= volution which was taking place in Germanv---of the necessity of. making peace: I4e told me that the Allies, long before'the Declaration of . Austria, had saluted the Emperdr Francis with the title of Emperor of Geemany ; that he did not accept this nnmeaning title, and that Germany was ml more to him in this manner than before. ; , that he desired that the Emperor Napoleon should persuaded, that the greate2t calmness and . the spifit et Moderation presided' in the councils of • the Allies ; that they should not disunite themselVes, because they wished to retain their activity and their strength ; that they so much the stronger, as they were, modertit:. that nothing was intended by any body against the dynasty of the Emperor Napoleon ; that Engiand was much more moderate than was thouglrt ; that there never had been a more favourable moment for fleeting with her; that if the Emperor Napo , loon really desired to make a solid peace, lie would spark humanity many misfortunes, and France many clangers, by not delaying the negotiations for peace ;‘ that they were near coming to art un- 4 derstanding ; that the ideas conceived of peace ought to give just limits to the power of England, and to-France all the maritime liberty which she had aright to claim as well as the other powers of Europe. That England was ready to retore to Holland, as an independent state, what she would not re store to her as a French province ; that what.lll de - Marfeldt had been charged to say from the Emperor Napoleon, might give room for the words which he requested me to convey, that he asked -me only to deliver them exactly, without nag any alteration in them, that the,Emperor - Napole=on wouldnot conceive the possibility of an equilibrium arming the cowers of Europe that the balance was not only.possible; but necessary ; that it had been Proposed at Dresden to take for in demnity, countries Which the Emperor no longer posesSed,•such-as the Grand Duchy of ‘Varsay; that similar comperisations might be mae.e on the present occasion. On the 9th Count de Metternich sent to me to come to - him at 9P. M. He was just come from the Emperor of Anstria, and delivered me his Ma jesty's letter for the Empress: He told me that Count Nesseltode was coming to and that it. Would. be in concert with him, that he would charge me with the words which I was to deliver to the Emperor, He begged' me to tell the Duke of Vicenza that the same sentiments of esteem were' still preserved towards him which hiS nobla character ,has always inspired. A few moments after Count Nesselrode enter ed. He repeated to me in a few words what 'Count Metternich had already said_to plc on the mission which I was invited to take upon myself, and a dded, that Count Hardenberg might be consi dered as present, arid approviug all that was go ing to he said. Then M. de Metteinich explain ed the intentions of time Allies, such as I was to report them to the Emperor. After having hearl answered, that as it was my part to listen, and not to speak, I had nothing else to do them% report his words literally, and that in order to be more sure of this, I desired to note them down for my own sole use, and to submit them to his. perusal. Then Count Nesselrode having•propos ed that I'should write.this note on the spot, M. Metternich led me alone into a closet, where I wrote the subjoined note ; when I had written it, I returned into the room. M. de Metternich said, c‘ Here is Lord Aberdeen, the EngliSh AmhaSsltdor ; our intentions are the same ;—=- we may therefore continue our discourse in his presence. He then asked me to read what I hail written. When he came to the article relating to England, Lord Aberdeen seemed not to have well understood it. I read it a second time; then he observed, that the expressions freedom of commerce and rights of navigation' were very vague. I- answered, I 'had written What M. de Metter nich hail commissioned me to say. M. de Metter-` nich replied, that in fact these expressions might confuse,the question, and that it would be better to substitute - 'others -for them. He took the pen and wrote, that England Would make the greateA sacrifiees . for peace founded on these bases (those before haul down). Tere I observed these expressions were just' as vague as',those for which. they -had been.- substituted. Lord Aberdeen assented', and said that it would be just as'well; to restore what I had written, that he reitFrated the assurance that England was ready to make the greatest sacrifices ; that she possessed much, and [hat she would. restore with lavish hands. The rest of the' note haying been found conformable to what I had heard; the conversa tion turned On different subjects. Prince SchWart zenberg.caMe in, and all .that had passed ‘vas re peAted to him. Count Nesselrode, who 'had ab sented himself a moment during - this conversation, returned, andicoMmissioned me from the Emperor Alexander •to tell the Duke of Vicenza, that •he would never, change the opinion he had of ha good faith, and of his character, and'that matters would soon be settled if he was .charged with a negociation. I was to set off the next day, Nov. 10, in the morning, 'but Prinbe SChwartzenberg sent t 9 beg •me to wait till . the next evening, not- having 1).1(1 tune to write to the Prince of Neufchatel; In the night be sent Count V,agna, -one of his Aides-du-camp, to me, who delivered me the ter, and conducted me to the advanced posts. • (Signed) SAINT AIGNAU. NOTE WRITTEN FROM FRANKFORT NOVEMBER 9, BY BARON ST. AIGNAU.
