GALLIC DOM IN ATION, Tat Tit THWOUG-11 THS.ITALIAN RFPUDIAC, ATrD THE -.NEWLY ACQUIRED TERRITORIES OF ritANCE, TO HOLLAND. • A very intelligent English Gentleman, just arrived in town I,oni the Continent, .has favour&dtis with the particulars of his tourney through these interesting Countries'. Our limits will noradniit of our submitting to our Readers'the while of this c.nrimis detail, or of the ingenious observa tions with which it is eveiy whereineerspersed.. The ac count is the result Of zie.c.titAtv-peitional obseriatiorts, Made during the last thriv 'months, by , a Gentleman who- had access to every authentic source of iiihmnation. As the bets' tel rn.iy theiefore be' relied upon, and will serve to - elucidat,l the general 8) stern of French policy,. witirre sped to the dependencies of that ,Empire, Its well as the gross opi. , :ession with which the untOrtunate States in•al liance, or otherwise entuieeled with Fratirtel.• arc treated by tlij Military TyrantS establistotd antongstlhelh, we shall give an abst rad of this interesing rejatton. • Early in July last the C;etylemsn so whom we are indebted for this account,., left. Florence :and vi. sited antl , gne, Ferrara,. and Venice.. From Ve. n i ce h e proceeded to Milan through Veropa.and B. escia. That paii of the Dutch) , of Verona which lies,on the left Bank of the .Adige, and belongs to the Itatian Republic, is fat supeti-r to the Austrian parr, both in po'ptilation and the advantages of 'commerce, thongh subject to a regular imposition .of forty per cent. on property, to. occasional mi. litary.e-ntributioni, and. the forced loans exaeled t i,r G-vernment at Milan. The .Decree of the President BONAPARTI, of the 20th . of. February, tFo3; declaring Verona• a free .Port, admitting all • articles that may be legally :imported, duty Ike, .11:14 improved the commerce of the City very ,mate... rially, but all :articles, in' their transit through the Repottlic, are gait ft to the ordinary duties.. , The' peat Arrwhittitatre is, still preserved with the great. tst care and veneration by the Veronese,. and firaina. tic pieces are still represented there in the open air. Milan,• the' seat of the present Government, was formerly' the Archducal residence, but though now essentially more- miserable, presents a more. hustling scene than tinder the former regime.., Numbers, • both French and Italians, who have. enriched. them. selves with the spoils of Italy, have chosen thiaCity fur their abodes. An increase of population, of luxury, and of equipages, , which _last are.of a very infer Fir and shabby quality, has consequently. taken place. There' are scarcely any French Troops in Mi. 'an., -except alittaChlTlCtit of Cavalry ; JOtrannts, Mar•lial of the resides• in the ci.devant Ate 'Palace, and keeps up the pomp of a petty King, with-two pieces of artillery and a party • of 1-lorseGuards at his door. The native inhAritants of this' City suffer the most grievons oppressions. They are subject to the same taxes, .contrihti. lions, and loans, as . the other sobjeas of the Re. publiC, whilst their :trade with Switzetland is al. most wholly annihilated by the heavy duties on goods ) and they, have scarcely any with the rest ,of the wnt.d, exceprin their silkti and in the colonial pr 'duce, which they get from -Leghorn. Public credit is entirely, destroyed, and all classes of the people are reduced to the last extremity. The Vice 'President, Mr t, zi, is much esteemed as a good and well intentioned man, IF has frequent. ly been a martyr to the gout, solicited permission to retire from his dike without effed ; but hit Fre , ch Teo p: and measures, are inveterately's e. tested by. the, Milanese, who delight in exclaiming violently against both ? whenever they can do it with safety. he capital nt, formerly the re sid:nee of his Sardinian Mjesty, the seat of re. fittement, loxtry, and politeness, is now 85 wine s An I insipid, a, any provinCial to c q of Italy. or Franco. Aan %II MR NOV, who commands trier , rules wida the m Ist deipotic sway, and k exe. crated by all the inhabitants. His extrav e agance in keeping up a kind of .Eastern magnificence has led him into enorm •tii. expellees. He is.said to hi in _ debt to the mercers, jewelle t s, , and other trades- , peorle, to the amount, of tix nsilih ns.of livers, fOr, no bill of bib has been paid since his apoointment,to the chief commind at 'rutin. The following ant7e, dote may give some idea of the mildness.of the. A. ministration of Givernment in the. conque,red, pc°. vincei, as well a• of the scruptilouvtegara to justice the Imperial Cabinet,, M strut; whom the owed above 4.07,000 !lyres, after many fruitless attempts to procure payment of even, part of his debt, contrived, by uncommon persevetoce, to obtain a personal interview , with the General., He found Metiou, nu be,ing ordeytd into the din. i ng saloon, with his Etat.Major„ in, one of his daily levels, iminersed in inebriety, and. reclin. ing on a Turkish sofa I He' made a very . affe:!ting ;ocal to. the .feelings of the. General, concerning. the' ruin which would inevitably fall on hiM, if, not paid some of. his Money. A dint.kenlan&h,socceed. etl his representation, when Mr N'OU cagily replied, " Mon anii, nenilurcbarinez p vas WM ay" er." w as instantly taken into an adjoining roam, 'tied up by the. heels by a couple of l‘inmelokes, and severely bastinadoed in the presence of NI k Noy, and after ~.vhich he was, precipitated frtim the window anti killed on the spot. The Mayor of the City had :utlieitmr spirit to transmit a process verbal.ol . the fatty to the Grand judge IttpNt R at Paris ; but no answer had been received to it so late as Augu,t l ist, • • " Geneva, the once independent and respelable seat of civil and religious freedom, is now,. reduced 'to the - rank of a French. Town, ant) govern4 i t by. a Preleo. An astollAting alteration has been el. 'feted by t:,e Reva utiitn, and there is ..aearcelY family in it that has not to bon , :nt the loss of some members dUring the massacres that had at titnt or other prevailed there. Their beautiful prone. node 'has been deserted in consequence of the fosil, lades that. took place ,'there ; and the inhabitants preserve still an.much of their independence, that the Milioty Officers, and the persons c•-mneeled with the Giverntnent, are excluded from the con. meetings of the rtien, as well as. from _the so. city o.t the females, 'Foreigners, however„ Ant i p,4 . ticularly the .Englisti, are cherished with great - , 100, excep.t.po the side, of : Germany is surrounded by France and the Italian Repub l ic, The total prohibition of some of its manufaCtures, the heivy dtitie; imposed on others, the rate of ex. change on foreign specie passing into Switzerland, and , the prohibition of the Importation of French money, are so severely felt, and will eventually so . completely put a stop to their commerce, that; to save the nation, from' ruin, they will have noilter. native hut that of 'applying to he incorporated With the French Empire,' the Government of which will, no doubt, on the occasion, secure its benignity in accepting the yass:tlage of in already enslaved !station. The *only. change Strasburgh has under. gone since the -fabrication of the Plot agAinst the-lifeof the. s CoisiCan, consists in the general pre. ' valence of saspicion, and the superior anivity.of the Police, *under an Irish "Prefect, named ShisA. M. .travellercan escape annoyance, however regular and, correct his Passports may be. The unfortunate Duke D'•I4..NGHIEN• was treated most Inhumanly during los shuit confinement in the citadel there, On his departure he-applied twice to the attending Officer for permission to take a favourite-dog .into, the carriage with him, without any answer; he then flung , his. purse to 'one of the soldiers," . and Pointing to the dog, desired: him to lift him into the carriage, when the Officer brutally kicked the dog away, and unfeelingly shut the catriage -door. The Prince on this betrayed the first tkot. emotion, looked ,for a moment through the window of the carriage at his dog, anti then with composure reclined back in his seat. This anecdote wtis universally known at Strasburgh, where the murder of the Duke is spoken of with the greatest, liorror, as well as that of PICEIRGRU. • From Sr rasburgh our tourist proceeded to Meetz, I where great preparations were making for the recep. tion of thesEtriperor, and thence through Coblentz and Cologne, in each of which Cities the gre'atesr aelivity prevailed in arranging the relics for the inspei.ticin Of BONAPARTE, who has a childish fond ness for such trifi:•S ; and the Caestitotti Authori." ties, with the Civic Guard of Honour, were con. sternly in Ottendance . to.receive His Majesty with. out the gates, lest they should be taken by surpri4e. This tstie also the case at juliens, ‘ 'wbith wa3 orna 7 merited with triumphal arches. On the 4.rh of Septemtler,he arrived at Chapelle, and as .the Emperor had arrived there before him, he found a difliculty in procering a. single room., for thirty-six, livres a .night.— As the Emperor was expeaed to visit the Theatre in the evening, our traveller made every effort to obtain a seat in the Parterre (Pit), and at length succeeded with some difliCulty. '['he House was ex. tremely crowded. The Austrian, Neapolitan, anti Portuguese Ambassadors, occupied the box. on the right of thi Imperial one. Though His Majesty was expelled with . much impatience, be did hot arrive till after the Farce had begun.-. During. the -anxious expenation of the Audience Plensier.Eu. teeters BeAutielebts entered the Imperial . 110 x, when instantly the whele company, `Ambassadors ar,d all, started on their feet,,, out of respea t o Hi s Majesty, whom they supposed to be arrived ; at length, when all hopes of his arrival were given up, an Meer . . rushed into-the Parterre, anti called " I'Em&ereur." The Audience immediately stood ty, and Botvr.eAtt're came forward, smiled, . And bowed itetoefol times to the Audience, amidst: ilia clapping of hands, and cries of rive l'Empereur.' The applauses proceeded exclusively from military men, and sume.persons of inferior description in the Pit. The Empress arrived anon after, and the same applauses were repeated. An Ado, 'then inter rupted the performance, by calling upon the coin. 'pany to celebrate the happy event, which over. wheltned with joy the inhabitants of Aix:la-Cha. pelle. The Musit instantly struck up, and one of. the Performers sang three verses of a son, was highly applatitled by the same deseription of persons s greeted, Their Majesties'...arrivd. The first verse contaieed,rbe Most .fulsome, adulation of the Emperor, and the third was repl e te, w ith t h e moss scuttilos abusr,,;‘A the Engl.i,h. Nor an in. diwi~lual in the'Boxes.aniatided, though each verse was repeated„ , except :the Portuguese Arnbassador,, who was severely animadverted upon at the Baths next day, for his condua. When the Emperor withdrew, the peoplein the Parterre rushed towards the dour, to get a sight of him as he passed down the stairs, but the door was securidintijgearded by 'soldiers, and the eager multitude weredisappointed; Our tourist had another,. oppartunity of seeing the'Emperor at, a Gala given by the city of Aix, ! la•Chapelle, in honour of the Emperor's arriya), to. which he had received an invitation from. 11)e M +pit.. A canopy was prepared at the head of the saloon for the Imperial Family . and Court, , with a plitfurtn underneath, eleVated 'ahotit ; a toot SILOVC the level of the floor. About midnight the Em, pre arrived, anti ten minutes after her Imperial Cowart was arrnoueced, by the. sound of,trunapets,. arid received .by the loud , efivereof the otilitair: He entered by . a privatie door, w hich had been pierced in the side 0,4 the canopy, a nd . bowed 'sec. cessively ; to the AsSembly and the Foreign Mini. He,staid ahoo a half an hour, and the Ep t . press an hour. BONAPAR*E wss pl4ioly,diessed ; the Empress magnilietntly. The' diaMtinds un her head and neck, were said to be worth Boomoo livres. The Emperor, together with his and numbers besides, woee , theCross of ,the Legion of Honour.. He endeavoured to .appear cheerful .efts his-.first, entrance, barite soon relaxed:into the au. sterity of a man watchful for. his personal, preserve.. !ion.. His constant apprehensions have given him a habit of slatting whenever any body , approaches him, and his piercing eyes are constantly roiling about, as if to observe.; every thing that pastes near him. There. is sorrier hing ghastly in sir rapid transitions, from an air of affetied cheerfulness to the gloomy. physiognomy of the wretch a. prey to a thousand anxieties and cares. . Outing his journey through France, our tourist had opportunities of conversing with persona di alt civil and military, and found them univer. sersally, at bottom, dissatisft,d with•their 'Ty rint's measures. The Emperor's great security is de.r . vrd from the number of partizans he has creme,' by th e ' disposal of lucrative pLaces and militarktomaiaids.

The history oldie man with the iron'. niltilirp. of • whom so much has already been said and 'written, will soon btaugmented with a new chapter. &pet *On, who thinks, hiniself able to explain this mss. tery in a More satisfactory manner, is preparing to publish his conj:clures, Heßretends to know, from a letter of Lou Lobs, XVI. that this Prince was unac. painted with the secret who that unfortunate per. son really,' was,who lived and died within iron mask over his rice. It is.ki4n, that one Of the suppo. tions which has obtained.thost credit isoliat he was the Counr I) V.samArinots, natural sun of Liitris XIV. by the DlItCheSS Di LA VALLIERE ; that the motive to, this extreme :Optic was an,ad pf, brutality of Count Ds. VERMANDOIS towards. the. .:,DAUPHIN. But .as , the Count was pulalicly buried, is supposed tbit, the :funeral Care monies performed ,for him were merely means` to mislead ,the histOrians of that time, and that a log of wood was buried in his ,ptace. It is 'the verification of his coffin, anti v what i! corttos, *hid) is the Objet of the above mentioned letter Louis XVI. now in the hands.of a:Member of rlie National Institute. : The King ordered the Bishop ,of Arras to , Orr), the, and to take a pr;tef-• (verbal of-its contents, and to send it. to his Majesty. Louis XVI. consequently' did not know any thing certain on this solids. This Letter will be dep_ sited in the-Imperial Library, as-an his * torical record, where every one may see . and read its contents. It is said, that after the-Publk have li•enmade acquainted' with the new e.tplanation ready: to appear, the !up' . of the iron Mask will cease to inspire the same in west as he has hitherto dotie.- - -::-(Gazetit de Fnvice.) The Public, is now .about to be plagued wish t h e hundredth ,supposition concerning the,ttutti the iron Mask, in consequence of a Letter Which Lotits XVI. wrote to the Bishop of Al 4 RAS, to have the coffin of the Count Da VE•IiN - SAN6.O ; arid wlpch . Was found to contain the bones or ashes. of • styne dead periou . of the eke in 1,010 . the (7,9unt died. Thar Loot, XVI, should he ignorant of whit Was I to his ancestors, and even to the courtiers and u. iters of Itis'oti'it times, is totally improbilo, Both the he bake Of Riciai vv and Vot.;6ta:f Were ac,qoainteel. With the name, birth, and rank,'of the person known ; under the name of the min with the ire?: musk, though in fan., this mask was of velvet with iron 'springs. The 111[11611;as of, this person are 'now no longer Mysterious, since a manuscript copt v in Vourm a ti's hand writing, is in die hands of his niece,. Madame Da Vra.L . ETTE, eXpbilliffithe Whole, and,which, Wi;h:other,ineditett manuscripts of that great Thilosopher, are bequeathed by her to a literary friend, on rendition of not being printed before tcn years, after her death. Many persons have, however, been permitted to peruse it; and, we can assure our Readers„ upon the most authentic.docu. merits, that the man with the iron ina4 was the son of the Qaten Dowager of Louis XIII. and the mother of Louis XIV, by Cardinal MAZAR /N, to whom she' vis-privately married, and chit he was - born in the Palais Royal, at Paris r 64.8. It ia.well known that MAznat re, though a Caldinal, had not taken Priests' orders, and rhat Louts XIV. alwayt treated him with the same respen :ind regard as it he had been• his parent. It was after: MAZARINri death, that the public first heard of the iron mask, becanse; during his life, his' son was travelling A broad with a private tutor, without knowing who were his parents or relatives. This tutor dying some time afterwards suddenly at Brussels, his pa. pare unforttinately discovered to yoUng M:tzAit,N, his high birth, who, in consequence, went ;6 Paris, and expostulated, rather imprudently, withisis mo. ther, who, to conceal what she thought 'her family . disgrace, by such a Marriage, consented to the treattnent , which her, youngest son„ afterwards. exile rienced, and who, on aecount of his great likeness to his brother,. LOUIS XIV, 'was obliged to wear a black velvet mask over his face... He was, hoW. ever, treated, in his confinement, with all the re. aped dui to a Prince of the blood, and even the Governor of the ItaStile dared' not to sit down in his presence without hit 'permission. He was always served upon plate; with• she choicest dishes and Wines, and'wore the finest, clothes and linen. Ex. cept his Libeity, he could command .every thing, and' every . one, about' him. Thesepareicalars TAT RR hatl:nnt only from his friend, the old . Duke of It cent,tau, but front the Duke of ORLIAN, the Regent undrir the mbiOrityL of 'Loir XV. The Letter of toti,s XVI. to the Bishop of ARRAS can, therefore, be nothing else but a mere matter of curi osity un the part of this - Prince, if it be teal ; but many thiok it 'one of' the many fabricated in his •narne by the Jacobins of 175 z, and 3793..--:(Afaia. d'.threcdoter.) On %ruby night Mrs. Hays, a most respeetable old Lady, above So years of age, and who has te:. 'sided a bove thirty years in her house in Pall.
