LONDON, March 9. SUBJUGATION OF NAPLES. The last communications from the continent were brought through the medium of Dutch Journals down to the 6th and French to the 28th ult.
By these we learn that the tyrant has carried his measures into execution with respect to the ill-fated kingdom of Naples, which country it appears has been compelled to submit to the iron yoke of that hideous monster, the military despotism, misnamed the imperial government of France.
Joseph Bonaparte, the usurper's eldest brother, who is said to be destined to succeed the royal Dynasty of the Neapolitan king, has advanced with an immense French army to that capital, which with the fortresses of Pescara, Gaeta, and Capua, surrendered, after a feeble resistance, on the 13th February, and on the 16th a grand mass was celebrated by cardinal Ruffo.
Prior to the entrance of the enemy's troops into the above unfortunate country, the king and royal family had effected their retreat to Sicily. So far the private accounts. The papers, however, state, that the vessel which carried the queen had been by adverse winds driven on the coast of Naples, and that her majesty had fallen into the hands of the common enemies of the human race.
Such, indeed, is the present degraded state of the French press, and the base degeneracy of the Gallic nation, that instead of commiserating the misfortunes of a virtuous and helpless female, the Moniteur, the tyrant's official mouthpiece, stoops to the most vulgar scurrility against the above illustrious princes.
Every person throughout Europe whose bosom glows with humanity, and who feels the impulse of common honesty, must detest alike the imperial robber, and the unprincipled panders of his villainy.
It is the general belief on the continent, that the tyrant will not be satisfied until he has effected the entire subjugation of all the states, and established the universal dominion, in his own person, throughout continental Europe, or at least, until they have been reduced to mere viceroyalties, subject to his will & caprice.
With this view, his armies have nearly encompassed the Prussian dominions, and occupied the marquisate of Anspach, which the king of Prussia held in virtue of a treaty of cession from the late margrave, who died some time since in this country.
In order, however, to check any designs which the tyrant may have formed against the Turkish dominions in the east, another Russian army consisting of 180,000 men, has been assembled on the frontiers nearest the parts menaced by the foe, and most vulnerable to his attacks.
We sincerely believe, and have hitherto heard of nothing to persuade us to the contrary, that Prussia has been all along playing a double game; nor can we think that she would tamely view the indignity offered to her neutrality, and the encroachments daily making upon her territories by the tyrant's troops, did not a secret understanding exist between the Prussian cabinet and that of the Tuilleries.
arms, were driven on the coast of Naples, and taken possession of by the French.
Bonaparte does not seem to be satisfied with the disposition of any of these powers. He fears Austria endeavouring, with an activity unparalleled almost in history, to repair her disasters, and recruit her armies.
The archduke Charles has been appointed generalissimo of all the Austrian forces, with powers surpassing the authority of the aulic council, which is in future to obey his orders.
In the letter in which the emperor announces this nomination to the archduke, there is an expression worthy of remark. "In case I should be forced into a war," says his imperial majesty; "woe, woe to the French, if they are not immediately made use of."
Russia is again assuming a warlike attitude; her forces, instead of returning home, have received orders to halt, and an army of 200,000 men is to be assembled near Warsaw.
Nor are the Russian troops that were to co-operate with ours in Hanover to return home; they are to remain on the other side of the Elbe.
The emperor Alexander is again about to leave his capital to rejoin his army. Of the disposition and politics of the Prussian cabinet, we have not yet sufficient information upon which to found any very decisive opinion.
Whilst some accounts talk of the continuance of a good understanding between France and Prussia, and of the cession of Anspach to Bavaria in return for the permission to occupy Hanover, other accounts mention that the Prussian army is to be placed on the war establishment, and that his Prussian majesty's field equipage is getting ready.
A merchant who left Berlin on the 26th ult. is said to have brought a report very current in that capital, that France had determined upon hostilities against Prussia and that a numerous French army was already on its march, the first operations of which would, of course, be directed against Hanover.
The Lüneburg gentleman adds, that serious fears were entertained for the safety of Hamburg. But accounts from Holland conjecture that the march of the French army is for the purpose of occupying the Sound, to prevent our ships from passing it.
Angereau, whose army has been reinforced by Dumoncau's and Bernadotte's divisions, has occupied the Prussian towns of Lippstadt and Detmold.
Lerebore follows and covers the movements of Angereau. The number of conscripts that have passed the Rhine within this month, are estimated at 12,000.
Thirty thousand French troops, it is said, are to remain on the Rhine.
Some rumours of a congress being about to be held at Berlin for a general peace, have been contradicted by the Hamburg correspondent of the St. In.
The fleet for the West-Indies, consisting of 152 sail of vessels, under convoy of six frigates, failed from Cork the 31 inst.
March 11. As it would be absurd to suppose that Prussia has ceded Anspach merely to leave to occupy Hanover provisionally, we take it for granted, that Hanover is the equivalent granted by Bonaparte for the cession of Anspach and Bayreuth.
The two transactions are represented to be of the same nature and character. The French are to take possession of Anspach as soon as the Prussians have taken possession of Hanover.
Nothing is said of that possession being merely temporary and provisional.
Yet notwithstanding this agreement between Prussia and France, by which one receives what the other has no right to give, and which might induce us to suppose that a good understanding subsisted between them, it would seem that each were suspicious and distrustful of the other.
A large French army hovers almost on the frontiers of Prussia, and no regard is paid to the neutrality and independence of Hesse and the other powers which Prussia had taken under her protection.
Bonaparte seems to suspect that a secret understanding subsists between Prussia and Russia; he finds that a large Russian army is assembling in Poland, & in that part of Poland belonging to Prussia.
The connivance of the latter at the formation of such an army would justify him in believing that her sentiments were hostile to him.
This will account for the activity with which he is reinforcing the army under Angereau, which has been increased not only by the divisions that have evacuated the Austrian provinces, but by fresh levies of conscripts.
It must be confessed that the position of Prussia is critical; if she connect herself with Bonaparte, she will incur the displeasure of the emperor Alexander, and endanger her Polish territories; if she declare in favor of the emperor Alexander, she will displease Bonaparte.
It is not easy to see how she will extricate herself from this dilemma. In the mean time, she is doing what prudence dictates, putting all her troops upon the full war establishment.
March 12. The cessions required by Prussia are not confined to the margraviate of Anspach.
The intelligence from Berlin of the 1st, announces that in the convention concluded with France, Prussia has ceded Neufchâtel and Valsengin to France; Anspach to Bavaria; and Cleves to the archduke Ferdinand.
The Hamburgh Gazette adds, that Wetzel is also to be ceded to the archduke.
Nor is that all, the elector of Hesse Cassel is to be raised to the kingly dignity, under the title of king of the Cattis, and is to receive a large accession of territory; he is to have from Prussia the bishopric of Paderborn, and from Hesse Darmstadt the greater part of its possessions in Westphalia, and all its territories in the county of Witten;
he is to have besides the county of Pyrmont, which is to be given to Prussia. The counties of Saxe, &c. he is to cede the Hessian part of Schaumburg, Aug.

berg, &c. to Prussia; and to Darmstadt, Hanau, with the district of Schwargenfelds. As the elector of Hesse Cassel is very rich, Bonaparte, we dare say has exacted a pretty large sum in payment for the kingly dignities and these large territorial acquisitions.
Paris Papers to the 3d, and Dutch to the 7th, arrived last night. One of the latter states, politically, that the Prussians have occupied Bremen.
The earl of Lauderdale is understood to be fixed on to go to India as governor general of Bengal. There is no situation to which the noble lord can be appointed which he will not fill with advantage to the country, and with honour to himself.
A morning paper states, that information has been received, that the emperor of the French has arrested a number of persons in Paris, and has exiled others from that metropolis, under pretext of their holding correspondence with persons in England. And that he is also determined to abolish his conservative senate, and to new model the whole of his imperial government.
March 13.
According to a letter from Paris of the 22d ult. the pecuniary difficulties of the French government are as great as before Bonaparte's late brilliant campaign in Austria. Several more banking and commercial houses of Paris, Bordeaux, Nantz, Lyons and Marseilles have stopped payment, and the public treasury was entirely exhausted. The army of the interior has not been paid for eleven months, and the army on the coast, not for seven months. Bonaparte's public functionaries have received no salaries for eight months, and his household troops are unpaid since last September. The armies of Germany & Italy have also several months pay due to them. The manufacturing towns are however, in still greater distress than the seaports; because, while the former have neither capitals, workmen, or protection, the latter are regularly supplied with the productions of the French colonies by the assistance of American traders.—Sun.

GENERAL MIRANDA.
Capt. Edes arrived at Charleston on the 24th ult. from Barbadoes, informs, that an Express boat from Trinidad, brought accounts two days before he failed, that General Miranda had effected a landing at Barcelona, on the Spanish Main. It was further stated, that he had been joined by two British frigates. This intelligence excited considerable interest at Barbadoes. Reports had fixed Miranda's force from three to five hundred.

IMPORTANT. TO all those who wish either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delightful country south of Green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with six thousand acres of land, situate on both sides of Red river, and Big Whippoorwill, including several fine mill seats, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 90 acres of cleared land, under good fence, a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, together with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situation perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantation lies one on the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whippoorwill. Those streams afford water sufficient for the river (in particular) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is in rich bottom. The subscriber has also for sale sundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, one tract in Livingston county, and one on Cumberland river, Stewart county, state of Tennessee; he has in one complete tract in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that country. It is situate on the main fence of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a never failing fountain) it is situate in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from thence southwardly down the main river and the Sinking fork of said river, the distance of five miles (or more perhaps.) The subscriber has also another tract of land lying on the south side of Little river, about eight or ten miles from Cumberland river, consisting of 7800 acres, part well timbered, the remainder good level barrens. This and the other last mentioned tract, has a number of fine springs on them, and are both well calculated to form a settlement for a number of families. The former is sufficient to make a settlement for 20 families; the latter is sufficient to make 8 or 10 farms, and good settlements. The subscriber has for sale, sundry other smaller tracts in Christian, all or any of which he will sell upon terms perhaps more moderate than any such tracts have been sold for many years past. [The summer range in all this country is equal to any in the universe.] Incontestable titles will be made to the purchasers. For terms and further information, apply to the subscriber at his plantation, about 12 miles south of Russellville. Letters addressed to the subscriber, [post paid] and left in the post-office at Russellville, will be duly attended to, and answered through the medium of the mail. If part of the purchase money be paid in advance, a considerable indulgence will be given for the remainder. BEVERLY A. ALLEN. March 23, 1806. 2m

And any officer who shall be convicted of having, through neglect or design, omitted sending such returns, shall be punished according to the nature of his crime, by the judgment of a general court martial.

Art. 23. Any officer or soldier who shall be convicted of having advised or persuaded any other officer or soldier, to desert the service of the United States, shall suffer death, or such other punishment as shall be inflicted upon him by the sentence of a court martial.

And it shall be the duty of every officer, commanding an army, regiment, company, post or detachment, who is knowing to a challenge being given, or accepted, by any officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier under his command, or has reason to believe the same to be the case, immediately to arrest and bring to trial such offenders.
Art. 27. All officers, of what condition soever, have power to part and quell all quarrels, frays and disorders, though the persons concerned should belong to another regiment, troop or company; and either to order officers into arrest, or non-commissioned officers or soldiers into confinement, until their proper superior officer shall be acquainted therewith; and whosoever shall refuse to obey such officer (though of an inferior rank) or shall draw his sword upon him, shall be punished at the discretion of a general court martial.
Art. 28. Any officer or soldier shall upbraid another for refusing a challenge, shall himself be punished as a challenger; and all officers and soldiers are hereby discharged from any disgrace or opinion of disadvantage, which might arise from their having refused to accept of challenges, as they will only have acted in obedience to the laws, and done their duty as good soldiers, who subject themselves to discipline.

Art. 32. Every officer commanding in quarters, garrison, or on the march, shall keep good order, and to the utmost of his power, redress all abuses or disorders, which may be committed by any officer or soldier under his command; if upon complaint made to him of officers or soldiers beating or otherwise ill-treating any person, or disturbing fairs or markets, or of committing any kinds of riots, to the disquieting of the citizens of the United States, he, the said commander, who shall refuse or omit to see justice done to the offender or offenders, and reparation made to the party or parties injured, as far as part of the offender's pay shall enable him or them, shall, upon proof thereof, be cashiered or punished as a general court martial shall direct.

Art. 34.

Art. 35. If any inferior officer, or soldier, shall think himself wronged by his captain, or other officer, he is to complain thereof to the commanding officer of the regiment, who is hereby required to summon a regimental court martial, for the doing justice to the complainant; from which regimental court martial, either party may, if he thinks himself still aggrieved, appeal to a general court martial.
