VIENNA, MARCH
According to a letter from Senilin of the i!rth,
March, the approaching arrival of she Pacha hat
caused, at Belzrade; such great confusion, that fc.r ,
some days all the commercial relations between that
city and Semlin hacl entirely ceased. The Janis-
saries declared. Loudly that they would not acknow.
ledge the new Governor till he paid- them, or made
the Portery them.. the arrears of their pay, which
had been dtte for nine years. This reto3irti4m was
notified to him by deputies which the Jan.ssaries
sent to Semendia, where he had arriv.,td with lig
Spahis. The new Pacha is resolved to make great
efforts to reduce the militia to-passive ohediencel
and he will immediately march likai:ast Belgrade
with as great a number of troops as be can assemble,
and lay siege to the place if he shall be refused ad-
mittance. This news has spread consternation in
belgrade, most of the merchants have shut their
shops, and have wished to take flight with their most
valuable effeds. The latter make preparations of
defence, and 'endeavour to obtain provi4ons which
will he very difficult for them, as the source Of then
is shut on our side, as well as on the side of Turkey.

STUTGUARD, ARIL 5.
The new acquisitions of Austria in Upper Suabia,
excite the public attention : the plan of the Court of
Vienna appearS to be, to throw back the northern
frontiers of the Voralberg and of the Tyrol towards..
the Danube, in consequence she has made very ad-
vantageous propositions to several counts and prin-
ces of Suabia, to engage them na. cede their territo-
ries for exchanges ur grants-of domains in Bohemia,
and in the other provinces of the .Austrian mo-
narchy. Hitherto the most part of these princes have
..hewn much repugnance, in consenting to these ar-
rangements, she still however hopes to succeed with
the count De Quadt, recently come to the posses-
sion of the county of Yysnij, many of these nego-
oiations are carried on in mystery : if she can suc-
ceed in acquiring the southern part of the bishopric
of Augsbourg, the limits of the Tyrol, and of the
Voralberg, will extend to the territory of Kernpton,
and she will 'possess all the country situated between
the lake of Constance, to upper Bay aria: The new
principality of Brezenheim, composed of the ci-defiant
imperialcityaLindau, and the ancient abbey of that
name with their territories is definitively cededto Au? ,
stria. The Pi ince of Brezenheim, natural son of the
Elector of Bavaria, who by meansoi the liberality of
his father had obtained one of the richesrdistricts on
the left bank of the Rhine, had demanded to be in-
demnified when that di:trict was ceded to Fran
with 'the other countries of the left bank of the.
Rhine. This city and this abbey of Lindan had
been assigned to hirn, but the revenues. of tho e
countries not being so consider3blesas tihCse of the
ancient principality of' Brezenheini, he addressed
himself to the deputation of the empire and to the
mediating Ministers to obtain a supplementary in-
demnity, but his demand was not acceded to. .I)isT.
affected at this decision, he has shewn himself fa-
vourable to the plans bf the Imperial Court, and
after having repaired to Vienna to negotiate in per-
son the trei:ty of the cession of his new ?ossession:
that include nearly 6000 souls. • Lindau chief
place of all this country in which are included, be-
sides the castle of Tegelstein, -the towns of Shinau,
ltickenbarg, Siegmarszel, and a great number of
villages and farms.

PARIR, 25d GER:iIINAL, APRIL 13.
A letter from Lisle states, " that the only subject
of considerivion is Bonaparte; every one is looking
forward am iJus for the happiness of having him witll.
in their walls. The inhabitants are preparing
brilliant fiie for him a: the circus. The city is to
give him a grand ball at the Salle de Spectacle, which
is to be newly decorated on the occasion. The
chosen of the youth have united to form a guard uf
honor. It will be composed of two hundred men,
one half infaniry-.and the otherhalf cavalry, all in
;it-and uniform and perfectly ;quipped. 'The ex-
pence will be considerable, but that is thought no-
thing of. They only contemplate the happiness of
receiving that astqnisifing man, of whom they know
not how to quality their encomiums. That man who,
rising suddenly by the force of his genius, has com-
bated, destroyed, or dispersed our enemies abroad,
'oppressed those at home, and attached the most
part of them to the country ; that man who has
nut only withdrarm France from t::e brink of an
abyss, but has exalted her by a treaty, which, assu-
ring continental peace, leaves her in possession of
all her forces,: and all her means to punish those
who shall attempt to trouble the peace of the sea.
Such are the terms in which every one is continually
speaking, and it is in the midst of the effusion of
our gratitude, so many benefits ought to inspire, tbac
•qr hearts anticipate the arrival of him who is the
objet of them. Judge of our impatience !We learn}
from Brussels, what the hotel ef the Prefe,Rtze whichf
the First Conul is to occupy dining his stay in this
city, is to be painted the colour bl the soil of Egypt :
a great number of private persons have also adopt,
ed that colour to paint the front of their -houses?
:the grand staircase of the Prefedture has beeft
adorned under the direcctiOn of the most able artist*
with Egyptian statues? mummies, bass reliefs, an 4
hieroglyphics.

and 25th militarj divisions, who have proexedel
