Ff 19211 THE PRINC3 PAPERS. • (MONITEUR, DEC. 23.) ATILAN, Nov. 29.—We learn at this moment that an Anglo-Russian Squadron, consisting of 12 Ships of War and some Transports, has landed be- 12 and 15,000 men at Naples, on Tuesday, Ole 20th of November. Immediately after this de- Ilarkation, his Excellency the Ambassador of His kajesty the Emperor of the French took down the 4rtas of France, which were placed over the door of his hotel, and demanded his Passports. The Nsports were granted him, and the Ambassador retired to Rome. t Royal Decree has since been Pablished on this subje& at Naples, the expressions which convey a just idea of the warmth with which the Court of Naples has endeavoured to Valise the Neutrality to be respe&ed.—Private Let- t er% deserving of credit, assert, that His. Sicilian kajeSty has engaged to strengthen the Army of the Anglo:Russians with aconsiderable number of pea sants, of whom he had immediately ordered the levy. These Letters add, that the command of the Na- Poli-Anglo-Russian Army is given to the Russian qeneral Likszx (who has resided at Naples` - six or seven mouths), and that the guard of the City of Naples is confided to an Etyglish Corps of eighteen hundred men. We do not know what are the fur ther intentions of the Military Corps collefted at Naples ; but every one knows what success must await an At my composed of three Nations, foreign to each other in habits, languages, and evert inte rests. In the mean time it is certain, that the Eng lish squadron \suffers much from an epidemic mala dy, and was obliged, on its departure from Sicily, to leave there 3,000 sick ; and when it made a de barkation at Naples, the Hospitals of that Capital Were incumbered with Russians and English. Let us hope, for the happiness of the Neapolitans, and eve) for that of the Anglo-Russians, that the Bulletins of the Grand Army will arrive soon enough %infant . them of the fate reserved for them, should they dare to oppose their force yo ours. Let us hope that the Anglo-Russians will hasten to spew them selves faithfUl to the first Article of-the Capitulation proposed to Prince MURAT by the Aid-de-camp of His Imperial Majesty of all the Russias, and that they will return to their posts by the way tIY which they came., . At the same time the intelligence of the landing at Naples, and of the manner in which the English and Russians have been received, sug gest some refie&ions which it is impossible to sup- Press. Thus then the Court of Naples has the de %Rah lehaslotir of surpassing in perfuly,even the Cabinet of London. Thus!, 'at the moment when this Court ratified, at Portici, on the sth of Oetober, reos, the Treaty of Neutrality which. its Ambassador had signed at Paris on the 2i st of September * at the nletnent when it promised (Art. I. of the Treaty) to rePulse by force every attack made upon the rights. and duties of its Neutrality., it was resolved not only n e't to repulse our enemies by force, but even to LIPPIy from its own subjeks auxiliaries to the nglish awl Russians against France and Italy. Thus, at the motnent when this Court promised on its honour, (Art. 11. of the Treaty) not, to permit any C01 1:15 of Troops, appertaining to any Belligerent Power, to land in or penetrate ate Ind of its territO• rY, it promised England and Russia to open to theca its Pcnts, its arsenals, and its hospitals. Thus, at the l'ooment when this Court engaged (Art. 111. of the Treaty) not to confide the command of its Armies cs r Places to any Russian. English, or Austrian Of -scers, it promised to enlist its peasants under the Command of the Russian General LASEY, and to confide to the English the guarding ofits own capital. Thus, in fine, when the Emperor , of the French and Xing of Italy, faithful to Art, V. of the Treaty, withdrew all his Troops from the Neapolitan States, and gave up the places and military posts of that C ountry to Neapolitan Officers, the King of Naples resolved to remove his own Officers from their places and military posts, and cause them to be replaced by _English and Russians. No such infamy and cowar• dice shall remain unpunished. The indignation of all nations, the discipline and valour of the French and Italian Armies, the genius of their August Chief, shall avenge the present generation fur the mean perfidy of which the Queen of Naples has given the dreadful example.—(Extraa from an Italian Journal) Murticn, Dxc. g.—We learn that the Archduke enAamas has taken a position on the Frontiers of Hungary, which he will preserve till the conclu *oll of the negotiations for peace.—(Journal de Commerce) , GENOA, Dsc. 9.—The Crews of the Neapolitan Vey.els detained in- the Port of Genoa, in conse •quence of the violation of the Treaty of Neutrality c;,rnnaitted by the Court of Naples, have presented 4 Petition to his Highness the Arch-Treasurer, re ei,uesting the necessary assistance for their subsist- Re artswereci--" i vn extremely affliaed at teir.g reth.ee4, by the pefitiy of the Court - of Na- Velt, tv cy.ercise rigours atithorized by the law of nat:t.:nr cn unCertur.2te pi-rfenl . wl,o ate innocent of the violation of the Treaty of .Neutrality. I ordoi , : the Consul of Naples to give . them such a,,,sit;tance as circumstances may require. If he refuses, I will do for them myself what humanity prescribes" To-day (Dec. 9, ssos), at 1 s in the morning, his Highness caused the Captains and Masters of the Neapolitan Ships to be called before him, when he said, " You have requested assistance from me: I . bring you liberty. The Emperor of the French restores to you your Vessels and your Cargoes. Tell your fellow-citizens, that NAroLEoN the Great is the friend of commerce and the friend of nations. He knows no enemies but those Governments who are false to the faith of treaties , and he will be able to punish them without making their subje&s unhappy vi6lims."—Journal de Commerce) FROM THE HAMBURGH MAIL. VIENNA, DEC.lB.—The Emperor NAPOLEON an nounced in the Order of the Day of the Army, on the 14th lust, that he had concluded an Armistice, and opened negotiations for Peace. His Majesty re commends, at same time, to the Army, not to rely upon this Armistice, until the moment when Peace shall be in reality signed, but only to consider It as a moment of repose, and as the means of pre paring for new combats. They will profit of this inter6l, it is stated in the Order, to procure stores of every description, and to place themselves in an attitude of attack the tirst moment it may be re quired. It is said that a column of French Troops com menced its march the 2 Ist instant, and will evacuate the country. BREstAtT, DEC. have at length received sonic certain. information respeaing the battle of Austerlitz. Seven Russian Generals were made pri soners; amongSt'whom are the Princes REPNIN and GALLITZIN.. The number of other Russian pri soners amounts to 3300. Amongst the killed is Colonel Vit.t.A.Ror, an Officer of the greatest merit. The valour with which the Russian Troops, and par. ? ticularly 'the Guards, fought, is proved by_ the filet, that there remained alive only 250 men of the Horse GUards, and 400 Uhtans of the Guard. From Teschen we learn that the Archduke CHARLES, at the head of a well-disciplined Army, of fiOM 80 to 90,000 men, is near Oedenbourg, in Hun gary. Fits head-quarters were on the 18th at Stein. It is stated that a part of the Hungarian levy en passe is already under arms, to the amount of 5 ti,ooo men, of whom 24,000 are cavalry. MoNicH,DEC.2I.—The intelligence from Vienna and from Nicolsburgh is highly favourable, and we expel} a peace soon. We have already designated here the different territories which are to fall to the , lot of our Elettor. Nothing, howtter, is known Officially respecting this subject. RATISDON, DEC. 21.—A Courier expeEted from Berlin by M. LAFORET, and travelling to Munich, passed through here the day before yesterday in the. evening, and brought intelligence to the French nister that his Prussian Majesty had given orders to such of his troops as had advanced to retrace their steps. - _ AUGSBURGIt,. DEC. 23:—The lot of our free and Imperial City appears to be decided. It has been announced to the Magistrates, on the part of the Eleaor of Bavaria, that his Eleaoral Highness is about to occupy the City with his troops, as welt as the territory of Eichstadt. From Munich we learn that the Bavarian Troops will also occupy several Bishopricks in Suabia, such as Furstenberg, Tour and Taxis, Metternich, &c. NUREMBERa, DEC. 93.—The Bavarian Troops have occupied the City and Territory of Augsburg!). ft is said that the Eleaor of Bavaria will obtain, by the Treaty of Peace, a very considerable accession of Territory, amongst which is mentioned the Southern Tyrol, a great part Of the Austrian possessions in Suabia, &c. Brat.tx, DEc. 28.—Count HAUGWITZ arrived here the day before yesterday, accompanied by Ma jor-General Ds Pt , trut, whom His Excellency met on the road, and whom he induced, after a short conversation, to return with him. The result of .his mission it not known—it appears, however, Certain, that 'there is no fear of war breaking out.— ' The warlike preparations are nevertheless not yet countermanded. It is supposed that the Electorate of Hanover will throw the greatest difficulty in the way of the negotiations for peace. The Emperor NAPOLEON received DE HAUGWITZ with the great est distinction, and all the propositions which that Minister made to him, in the name of his Master, were received by His Imperial Majesty with satis faaion and.kindness. The Grand- Duke CONSTA:sITINE,iS still here. The stay of this Prince has given birth to several fetes. BERLIN, DEC: 28. , ;-The report that General Von PFUHL is set Out again for the Fsench head-quarters, is totally unfounded. From the several Regiments of Infantry which ar rived here within these few days, from their respec tive garrisons, only the Regiment of Freskow, from Dantzig, remains yet behind. The rest have already marched for their respective places of destiny. The Regiment of Hussars of Eugen of Wurtenberg is quartered in the neighbouring villages of Berlin.

WISEDE. This atta - th.,was made contrary to the Armistice which His Majay , ..the Emperor of the French had granted to His Majesty-the Emperor of Austria. It was only .because I relied upon this Armistice that I suspended my march to Iglau, to which place I. should have advanced, to support the Bavarian troops, and to attack those under your command. I presurne that the Austrian troops were not at the time informed of the Armistice having been concluded. It is impossible for any soldier Ns ho knows his duty to make any other conje&ure. I therefore request that your Royal Highness will cause to be set at liberty,: . withity',2,4 hours, all the Bs t varian prisoners which were taken in that action. My request is well fOunded, and I have no doubt that your Royal Highness will immediately acquiesce in it. I shall be obliged to your Royal Highness to transmit your answer to Iglau, where I shall arrive the day after to-morrow, in the evening. " BEICNADOTTE."

The Foreign Journals state, that the Spanish Go vernment has ordered fifty new Ships of the Line to be fitted out immediately. Such an order is easily given—but when will it be obeyed ? It is net generally known that the late Mrs. DUFF, whose death has been the subject of so much rearet fell a vidim to the bite of a fiwourite dog.— In fondling with him he merely scratched her fore head, and the appearance was so slight, that it was not thought an objea that required any ettention.— The animal, however, not long after bit a boy who was playing with him, and discovered some symp toms which excited alarm, and he was therefore se cured. Excision and the actual cautery was applied to the boy, who was by these means haenilv saved from danger.---The dog afterwards exhibited every symptom of madness, and was destroyed. Unfor tunately the melancholy flea was not discovered till too late to rescue a beautiful and amiable Lady, who sunk into the grave in the bloom of life, and in possession of every thing to niake life- pleasant and endearing.—We should not think it. proper to mention this affecting circumstance, if it were not to hold forth a warning to those of the female world who are fond of such animals, by the lamentable proof of one striking example. Yesterday- morning, Itween four and five o'clock, the inhabitants of London and its vicinity were aroused from their peaceful slumbers by one of the most dreadful tornadoes felt for many years. It is a wonderful coincidence, that scarcely had the body of Lord Net.soN reached the Admiralty, than a hur ricane burst forth, only inferior to the one we are describing ; and scarcely were his mortal remains de posited in the sacred tomb, and the ceremony of hiS inhumation finally closed, when the elements were a second time convulsed, and it seemed that the pa:,- sage of the Hero to immortality was to be as much distinguished by storms, as the life by which he bad merited the palm of glory had been by daring enter prizes. The rushing of the wind was dreadful, and threatenedgeneraldestraCtion—fr.boesands arose from their beds, alarmed at so unusual a visitation—the thunder growled, and repeated flashes of lightning added to the awfulness of the scene—the rain, or rather hail, fell in torrents. The Mail and stage coaches travelling the rondo were stationary, for the • affrighted horses were unable to move, and the dri vers, equally alarmed, were obliged to alight. Nu merous stacks of chimnies and dilapidated houses were blown down—some of the Vessels in the Ri ver were driven from their moorings, and materially damaged---the Ships in the West India Docks, sheltered as they are, were much strained by the violence of the wind. - The lead and copper cover ings to the roofs of a nussiber of warehouses were wrenched off, rolled round, and carried to consi derable distances. In St. James's Park there are two trees broke asunder, the one of ancient growth, at the bottom of the trunk, 'and the other, a young tree, and prote6ted by a fence, right in the middle : a third, too vigorous to bend to the blast, is torn up by the roots, and the earth scattered around it.— Some trees were also blown down in Hyde Park. The neighbourhood of Finsbury-square was for a few seconds illuminated with a fiery meteor, which made an awful appearance, and very seriously alarm ed many of the inhabitants. These are only the par tial etfeas of the tempest, which have come to out knowledge. We anticipate melancholy accounts from the Coast, btit hope to Heaven oar fears üby not be realized. . Jusncr.-Room, GuttainALL.---Yesterday a young man, of the name of Harrison, who stood charged on suspicion of haying stolen two bullocks from King ston, in Surrey, a few days' since, and which Were slaughtered in Fleet-market, underwent a final ex amination before the Sitting Alderman., The hides and - horns of the beasts were produced and sworn to. The Prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial.---Two men aud'a IA were charged with picking pockets on Thursday afternoon, on Ludgate-hill and at, St. Paul's, during the Funeral Procession of the late Lord NELSON. The two men were committed for forther'etatnination, and the lad was sent on board the tender.- PUDLIC OFFICE, WHITECHAPEL.—Yesterday Ro tecca Taylor, a woman of the town,, underwent an examination; being charged by some women with cutting and maiming them iti a most dangerous manner, on Wednesday last, in a tumult in Cathe rine-wheel-alley, Whiteehapel. .The Prosecutrixes not wishing to Charge her criminally under Lord El lenborough's Aet, She was - committed to prison for the assault, for want' of sureties, to appear at the Quarter SeSsions to the charge. The Quarter Sessions for Westminster' com menced on Thursday, - but-did no business until yes terday. No case bc any public interest occurred. On Saturday evening last an affeaing circumstance took place at the seat of Colonel Rigby, at Mistley ; the Rev. Matthew Thompson, Re .or of Bradfield and Mistley, was invited with a party to dine, the company were informed dinner was ready, and Mr. T. in 'the a& of rising to walk into t'he dining-room, fell down and • expired immediately : he has left a wife and eleven children. On Christmas Eve an accident, rendered singular by the pruvidential escape of the person to whom it happened, occurred at Boston.- - -An old woman, l a . bouring under the infirmity and inactivity of Itr years, fell from the garret window of a house down upon the pavement, and, notwithstanding the great descent, received no other injury tlian•sotne alight bruises.
