On the 19th ult.there was a considerable insurrection against the French garrison in that city ; but, in c onsequence of the Austrians and F.aglish being at, too great a dis tance, tranquility was restored. About 4S gon doliers and fishermen, who with great boldness an d activity attempted t• take sonic of the forts, have been shot, while a still greater number have been put in chains, The enemy have evacuated Verona and the position of Rivoli. An Austrian division is at present quartered in our neighbour hood, and will move forward to Verona.. We every moment expect accounts that the Austrian army has crossed the Adige. The advanced guard of Lieutenant Field Marshal Sommariva is already befo - re Rivoli. BREMEN, FEB. 18.----B.egarding the battle near ilaniburgh, which took place 'on the 9th instant, the.official details have not yet been received. In the mean time we learn that it was of very long continuance. The French General, Oster, and another officer of the same rank, were badly wounded,. and have since died - of their wounds. — We have taken 1000 prisoners, 12,pieces of ar tillery, 40 barrels of, gunpowder, about 30,000 cartridges, besides 100 hogsheads of wine and brandy, for the use of the garrison, which were destroyed. The troops in the neighbourhood., consisting of Llainburghers and Lubeckers, funning the Hanseatic Legion, have received orders to break up for the purpose of besieging Haarburg. It appears that their • Commander, Colonel Von Witzleben, will have the command of all the troops before Haarburg, - consistingof 20,000 men. We arc assured that the intelligence of the battle of Brienue was sent by a flag of truce by Gelieral Beunigsen to the Prince of Eckmuhl ; the person who carried the flag has not yet re turned.—We learn also, that a very destructive epidemia prevails in llamburgb, and that the Admiralty-street has been separated from the rest of the city. LIEGE, FEB.

The num ber of waggons which pass with troops is incre dible : to-day, \ among others, there were ten laden with money. FRANKFORT, FEB. 12.—We have here some ex traordinary reports. Among others it is said, with ail appearance of probability, that the Re public of Genoa, with some small change in its former - Coastitution, will be restored, and that the Viceroy of Italy will be placed at the head of it, with the title of Duke. Verona was on the Ist instant evacuated by the enemy—the Austrians entered the next day, and passed the Adige at several points. In the Aus tria:3 army there is an Italian volunteer corps, to which hundreds of soldiers, and even many Of& cers, daily desert, and enter into. All Savoy is evacuated by the enemy, and they are employed there iu forming a corps in the ser vice of the Xing of Sardinia.

American Papers have been received to,the ult. The Boston Advertiser of the 29th mentions, that the United States sloop of war John Adams, lying at that port, had been selected to convey Messrs. CI:AY and Russ.m., the Plenipotentiaries appointed to treat with Great Britain, to Gotten burgh. The John Adams was expected to sail about the 20th inst. The President; on the 18th ult. transmitted a report to the House of Representatives, with the documents on the subject of. the Russian mediU. tion. The subsequent extract is.from.the letter of the • Russian Minister : , " ills Majesty, who takes pleasure in doing justice to the wisdom of the Government of. the United States of America, is convinbed, that it has done an that it could do to prevent the rupture; but that treating of it directly would take away from the negociatiou all semblance of impartiality; Ina di rect discussion, every thing would tend to excite the preju dices and the asperity of the pieties. ins obviate this meou venience, his :oilijesty the Emperor, gratified at being able to give a proof of his friendship alike fur his Majesty the King of Great Britain, and the United States of America, wishes to ffer them his mediation, and charged the undersigned to roposeit to the President of t h.! United States." The following is an extract from Mr. MUNROE'S answer to this part of Mr. DASCIIKOFF'S fetter : " President is aware that many of the inco . nveniences resulting from a direct communiettion between the parties themselves, May be avoided by the mediation of a third person, especially one entitled to and possessing the entire contideir.e of both the belligerents. To the clnim of Russia to that d is tingoished consideration, the President does not hesitate to express . his full acknowledgment. Lie recollects, with much satisfaction; that during a period of great and general con tention, th e oqations of ft iendsliip have always-subsisted between the rnit - i States and Russia; and he finds in the F e, t,onal qualities chaiacter of the Emperor Alex indcr, a sacred pledge ivy the justice and impartiality which xuay ii expected from his biterposition." Mr. CLEVES has beer; elected Speaker of the douse of Representatives in the room of Mr. Mr. ROBINSON returns immediately to Head quarters in France with the answer to the (lit:- patches of which he was the bearer. 'J'hcrc are a thousand guesses in circulation respecting the na ture of these dispatches, and the reply'to them by the British Cabinet: The patriotic Opposition and.les Trembleurs (for they scarcely merit English names) assert, that BUONAPARTE'S mighty victories. have brOught down the insolent tone of the Allies, and especially of Great Britain. They harp upon the old ch6rd of the disinAination of Austria to press upon the Corsican, and all with-as good and ra tional grounds as ever.. We will take upon us to repeat our assertion, that neither victory nor de feat (nor the unsubstantial claim of either), has caused any alteration, or any disunion in the Al lied Councils. Austria has, perhaps, from the beginning, carried too much of the Mediator into the Warrior; but there exists, and has existed, only one sentiment in the Coalition. The Morn ing chronicle, assuming a little more courage as the affairs of its Idol appear to brighten, has the impudence to say this morning, " The incredulity of the war-faction, on the subject of Bt;o- NAPARTE'S force, nom gives way to the proof of our own bul l.* n c I. rfr y n In Wirer Even in cavalry he chews himself (and it is marvellous), to be superior to the Allies. It was the Chronicle itself which, in its cele brated letter, said " the Cavalry is the weakest, and yet it is 25,000 in number," and now it would fix the assertion on us, for the purpose of con founding the question, and getting out of its di lemma about the " six hundred thousand well-dis ciplined soldiers" in Kendal green ! The artifice will not do—there is no credulity in the country so weak as to be imposed on by the Chronicle fabrications. Why, where is By oNY's own army of 230,000 men : where the armies of VIGTOE, AUGEREAU, MORTIER, and MAR moNT," which 'were in addition to, and in com munication with this mass; where the 50,000 men at Paris; and above all, where the other 200,000 in reserve at Meaux, Chaloni, Troyes, and Arcis sar-Attbe ? ,Pooh ! false Chronicler, these bounces will not do I We have reason to believe that the Bourbon Standard has, 'ere thi3, been hoisted in more, than one Province in France—God speed it. Our Columns to-day present an important De tail of the recent affairs of the world in almost every quarter, extracted from the Gazelle of Sa turday, French Papers, Dutch Papers, ,and va rious other sources of intelligence. The imforma tion, via Holland, which. reaches to the 25th, is of more than ordinary interest, and relates to events,of uncommon magnitude, were not our at tention so deeply absorbed in the contemplation of the grand theatre where Fate is unravelling the tangled web of EurOpe's destiny. Yet even amid the awful suspense of this scene, a brief enumeration of the contents of these Papers is de sirable. A Provisional Government for the Ne therlands has been constituted at Brussels, and thus the finishing hand havbeen int to the incle pendance of those Provinces, with the existence of which the Tyrant has declared the safety of France to be incompatible. The 'march of troops into the North of France continues incessantly; and at the time we now write there must be another, and one of the finest armies in the world, un der the direction of ,the ablest Commanders, conctqltrating within a few days march of Paris. Glogau and Mentzbave proposed to capitulate ; and as it is iMportant to release the troops occu pied in the siege of these places, " it is probable that they will obtain more easy terms than they tted Other Witt hope fo'r; ti.lsOn the edtiditibti their immediate surrender. - Huniagen is about to be formally besiegek; Reinforcements conti nue to pa,s through Bask, both,for the Grand Army'and far General 131113 NA. There has been a severe action near Ilamburgh on the 9th, in which the Enemy suffered a very considerable loss. From Italy the news is equally strange and im portant. Verona and Rivoli have been abandon ed by BEAUHARNOIS, of whom it is reported that he has consented to abdicate the Vice-regal title, and content himself under the Allies, with the State of Genoa, constituted into, a dukedom in his .favour. Venice has been shaken by an in, surrection," and must speedily be relieved from Gallic chains. At Ancona. the dereliction of Mu- Rat, Grand Chancellor of France, from the cause. of BUONAPARTE, has been signalised by an act of hostility, on. the part of the ComMander of the Neapolitan troops, against BARBON, the - French Commandant, who consequently shut him- Self up in _the citadel. But perhaps the most sin .gidar docuMent of all from these parts is the pro clamation issued by Gen. LAVANGUYON, a French man in the service of . Mortal', on taking provi, sional poSsession of the States of the Church, Rome, &c. in the ;lame of King CHAR LES—and abolishing the functions of the Corsican's re presentative, Miot,Lrs 3 While .ou this point it may be well to correct ' an error into which many Journalists and a portion of the priblic have fallen,- on the momentous subject of the arrange ment with MuttaT, and which this' Proclamation seems further to elucidate. It has been supposed that a grant had been made to him of the whole of Italy to the Po, which is a most absurd suppo, sition. His troops were only ordered to occupy this territory in the name of the Allies ; and so far from having an extension of dominion which would rank -him among the second Pov..ers in Europe, he speaks of receiving compensation for • the Neapolitan Fleet and Islands of Ischia, Pro cida, and Capri, which he vos compelled to de posit in surety for his fidelity. Savoy is freed from Slavery. The French Papers contain little remarkable, with the exception of au Order of the Day, issued at Gerona by &CHET on the 2d, to a part of his Army sent to reinforce AUGER EAU, at Lyons. This is a vital point in the present situation of the cam 'paign ; and the maintenance of a respectable force in the South has a potent effect upon the operation near Paris. by PvP"oinE r1 , ....".n10 line of communications on the left of the Allies from the Rhine to the Seine, to be assailed by an ene my rendered dangerous by the direction of his means to a single object on so ex tended a line. It is not therefore impro bable that the operations of Lord WELLING TON may have some tendency to counteract the : efforts of the foe in this quarter. His Lordship is at the head of a noble Army, approaching (as said) to the number of 100,000 valiant and tried wariors. Weakened as his immediate adversary has been, - we look for a most dashing advance on his part, and should not be surprized were the speculations of a contemporary to prove correct ,and that his Lordship should approach Bourdeaux by sea and land, and, after securing his marine communications by that great port,strike directly into the heart of France, and oppose himself at once to any force the 'Ty rant may assemble in the Southern Provinces. The Gazette intelligence is only valuable from giving officlal and more particular accounts of events which were, however, accurately known to the Public 'before, through the medium of the newspapers. A Message is to be sent down to the two Houses'of Parliament•to-morrow, recommenling another adjournment to the 4 2ist March.
