B.—The -following official ac cotints)*lth respect to the Armies in Italy, have been iitttlished here According to details ,received by a Courier from_ Field-Marshal ,Bellegarde, General Count Neipperg, with the van of the Austrian Army of Italy, after having, on the .26th of April, taken possessiOn of the fortress of ? Pizzighetone, entered Milan on the . 28th, amidst the rejoicing of . the people. On the same day the Italian troops eva cuated Mantua, which was entered by the Aus trian column under,General Mayer. The Muni cipality received him with great soleinnity. There, as well as at Milan, and in all the towns. entered by the Austrian troops, the popular feel ing is excellent. General t Stanisavlevieb has also taken pos session of the s►nall fortress of Boccal'Anso, in the valley of Sabia ; and all the - Italiin troops have provisionally taken up their quarters at Ber gamo, Crema, Montechiaro, and in their vicinity. " In virtue of the Convention lately entered into between Prince Borgimese and idarshal garde, for the evacuaTiou. of Piedmont and its_ _fortiesseS,• General Count Nugent has been or dered, '‘. \ :ithorit losS of time, to advance to Alex- , andria, and to take possession of that fortress, as well i ' lsSal, oft the Bth of May, -the day pointed for its evacuation .by the French.— . Fern:well-es, Tudn, and the other. fortresses on the right bank or the Po, will in like manner he • occupied, as soon as the Austtima troops shall have advanced. " Marshal Bellegar,le trusts that the-occtipa tion of Piedmont will be carried into effect in a short time, although General Grenier, who was appointed. to conduct the French into France, has, contrary to all expectation, infornted him, through the General of Brigade Comity, that he (Gre nier) had received orders croan the Prdisional Government of France to conclude au Armistice by which the Tesino and the Scrivia were to form the line of demarkation. Marshal Bellegarde, however, declared to him, that he had strict or ders to take possession of Piedmont, and that the Convention with Prince Borghese placed hint (Grenier) a second time under the obligation of retiring to France without delay. • This declara tion, and the solemn assurance with which it was enforced, that Marshal Bellegarde would resort, if necessary, to force of arms, to compel General Grenier to fulfil all the Articles of the Conventions entered into, must, in all probability, have, ere this, removed every impediment ; and there is little doubt that Pimins9nt is now in the prowi sional occupation of the Austrian troops." FINANCES OF THE UNITED NETHERLANDS. The Thiteh Minister of Finance, in a speech lately delivered to the States General, gave the fol lowing account of the expenditure and income of the United Provinces • " For the current year, 1814; the ordinary and extraordinary 'expences of the State may he reck oned at 63,500,000 guilders. The revenue to meet Clis expenditure could not be estimated at more than 38,480,000 florins, thus leaving a deficit of 25,020,000 florins. " This picture might, at first sight, seem very disheartening., tint when more closely looked into, would appear less alarming ; for this deficit was caused by circumstances Of such an extraordinary nature, as, by the blessing of Providence, were not again likely to occur. " The expenditure of. 63,500,000 florins might be distributed under the following heads : " I. For the income' assigned by the Constitution to th Sovereign Prince and the Hereditary Wince, 1,600,000 f. " 2. For the Department of the General Secretary of State, including- the expences of the meeting of the States-General, and of the Council of State, 339,581 f. " 3. For the Horne Department, including the expences of Dykes, &c.,(waterstaat), 7,180,230 f: " 4. For the Department of Finance, including the - interest of the national debt, 22,500,000 f. " 5. For the Foreign Department : 891,000 f. - " 6. For the Naval Department, 3,300,000 f.• " 7. For the - War Department, .23,658,034 f. " 8. For the Departments/ of Commerce and Colonies, 3,000,000 f. • " 9. Extraordinary and unforeseen expences, 1,022,132 f." The Finance Minister proceeds to assign the reasons why these charges are likely to he greater than may be expected in future " The public chests were carried off by the - enemy as effectually as they could ; the operation of all the taxes stood still forl . , while, and the loss upon indirect imposts could not be recovered; the war for a considerable time raged in our in terior; the fortresses occupied by the French, with their environs, produced nothing to the Treasury ; it required some months . to re-organise the system of indirect taxation ; and the produce of convoy duties and licenses only now becomes considerable from the re% - ival of our commei ce." After observing that the two first branches of expenditure would 'remain the same in future, he proceeds--to state, that " the expellees of the maintenance, and restoration of dykes would pro bably be much diMinished in' future. The ex treme neglect in which the late French Govern ment had suffered these most esssential establish ments to remain, in order to save money for other. objects, necessarily occasioned extraordinary wants this year ; but the dykes, when once re stored, will not cost more than usual for their maintenance. , " For the department of finance less would also be required in the ensuing year. On this point it would he sufficient to state, that the payment of the interest of the public debt was -so.much in arrear, that in this year it was necessary to pro vide for one and One-hall year's interest. In future, however, the interest will be paid half yearly, and each year will be charged with, its own burthen," The Secretary then proceeds -to state, that undek. the head of the foreign department less would be SOLEM QUI S C1.:2.. FALSUAI AUDEAT ? N,D N, Tr EDNES DAY, MA Y 25, 1814. We are still without an arrival of French Papers, and we do confess that this breach in the regular communications between tire Countries does ap pear to us to be not a little extraordinary. 'Some of our Contemporaries deprecate the anticipation of evil 'from' this circtimstauce, and others pre tend to state the reasons from France why- they have not heard from that_ Country ; .which we take to be rather an Irish mode of ex plaining the matter. A difference of opinion be tween Austria: and France respecting the line of -boundary is now mentioned as the cause of delay 'in the signature Of the Preliminaries. We shall nnt repeat the conversation reported to have taken place between two Crowned Heads on this point ; nor do we often indeed amuse our Readers with . these inventions, some of which' are calculated to' do greater mischief than the innocent one to which WC have just alluded. • We mentioned two dayS ago that an obstacle had arisen to protract the conclusion of the Treaty . .. No information has since reached us, and we can, therefore, communicate none. The following is front a Morning Paper : " The latest private accounts which we have received from Paris, lead us to believe, that the great work of pacific negotiation will not be brought to an "end so soon as has for sonic time past been expected. The chief baits, And indeed - all the principal points in the , Treaty, are understood to have been long since agreed s upon, and the outline' to be nearly the same as that which appeared in the Moniteur ; but the settling the boundaries of the pew States, and weighing our the various indem nities, are works of nicety, requiring no small portion of time and debate. It is now understond that these matters will not be settled at a Con gress, but by Commissioners, named by the late Belligerents. Our Correspondent writes, that be tween 30 and 40,000 of the British troops arc to be einbarked it, the Garonne fur Ireland; and a latge body for America." ,The American Papers, by the Chauncey, are to the 10th ult. 'one day later than those from which we extracted, the chief contents on Tuesday, the 17th inst, and consequently add little or not43ing to the information there given. The Private Letters, to which we have formerly alluded (and which we have not seen), assert that the Embargo and Non-IMportatiim Acts have passed in the ,House of. Reprtsetitatives, and will pass in the .Senate. A • . .
