The Dint de Lille, brother to Louis the XV Loh,

After long espeaat:on, we hope, the dny after to.
morrow, to see the Emperor and Empress within
our walls. Four superb regimenta of cavalry ace al.

ready arrived ben, to isaratbashoing their Majestic
stay. The number of princes and diplomatic persons,
who arrive here to be presented to their Majesties,
increase daily. The Rieder, and three Pr.nces of
Baden, with several other German Princes, are
already arrived. The Russian Charge des Affaires,
D'Oubril, seldom goes abroad. We suppose that
be will remain here at least a fortnight. The Coun.
eillor of Legation, Baykaii, is with him.

clineil to join in an alliance with France, is to retire 1
to Sicily; and his continental dominions, as also the
Ecelesisitical States, will ha occupied by an equal
number of French and Austrian troops. The whole
of this alleged plan of confederacy and revolution
was first mentioned by ore of CItAt4PIGNV'S Secre-
taries, at a political party. It may not be accurate
in the detail; but it is well understood at Vienna, that
BON AP A are if intriguing with ardour and diligence,
to divide and embroil the Continental powers, with a
view to the ultimate ruin of them all. Scarcely a
day passes in which C AMP IGN v has not a private
interview with CO BENTZEL, over whom he has as
great an influence as that exerci ;ed ia 1708 by the Abbe
SILT Ls over Hatrowirz at Berlin. Had it not been
for the French ascendancy at that time over the
Prussian Minister, the brillia, t Campaign of 1799
might, by the conquest of Holland and Switzerland,
have completely crushed the French Revolution,
and we should have heard no more of BON AAAAA
but as a wanderer in Egypt. The present influence
of France in the Austrian Councils may probably
blast hopes equally flattering, and produce Calami-
ties equally disastrous.

The Pope has ordered his Secretary of State for
Tondo Atain to communicate to the different
Comes his approaching journey to Paris, to which
he had teseireti two iavitations. As all official

MILAN, SEPT. 4.
We learn from Genoa, that the eight following
persons were brought from Port Maurice on the 29th
of August, under a French escort. and shut up in the
tower of the fort of that city : Leonard Strafforello,

The SPANISH Am Lassa Don, we understand, had
an audience of Lord HARROWIY, on Wednesday,
in consequence of the conference held by his Lord-
ship, on Tuesday, with the Committee of Merchants
in the Spanish trade. At the meeting, no doubt,
there was some explanation of the business of the
preceding day; and yesterday His Excellency sent
off a courier with dispatches for his Court. We
are informed, that he, at the same time, obtained an
assurance that no strong measures should be resorted
to, until our Government shall have received an an-
swer to its ultimatuni, which may be expel ed in the
course of a fortnight. According to reports in our
political circles, this ultimatum is at once moderate
and spirited.—equally political with regard to the
safety of England, and advantageous to the inde-
pendence and tranquillity of Spain. his said, that
not only the total disarmament of the Spanish navy
has been insisted upon; but that Minorca, the Ca-
nary Islands, and some island in the West-Indies,
have been demanded 'in deposit .during the present
war, as pledges, not so muds for the good faith of

butions. This demand of deposits may be con.
sidered by some political grammarians, and special
pleading politicians, an narrow, illiberal, and not
strialy consonant with the common law of Europe;
because not warranted by usage, in negotiations be-
tween independent States. The answer to this,
however, is dire and obvious. We do not live in
regular and ordinary times; and extraordinary cases
require extraordinary praaice. When ever did the
Power of France extend from the Elbe to the Streights
of Messina? When ever did France dictate to modern
Continental States as she now does? But we are not
driven to this defence, although it amounts to the
strongest we could urge, for it is a plea of necessity.
It is sufficient to appeal to the conduct of France,
as a precedent for our justification. Did France, in
the last war, consent to a truce with Austria, with-
out forcing her to surrender forts, and evacuate pro.
•inces ? France has established a new law of nations
for herself, and shall England be precluded from
availing herselfof it, when it may answer herpurpose ?
If England is to be pinned down to what is sanction-
ed by custom and usage, and use no other means
against a power that violates all usage, and tramples
upon all custom, we give our enemy a fearful odds.
We fight no 1 snger upon equal terms. We are no
longer fairly matched. Wt are tied down, and en-
tangled by bonds and obligations, and oppressed by
weights, while our enemy is left in the free
and ur.controulcd exercise of all his powers.—
Looking at the praaice of our enemy, and the
extraordinary situation in which we are placed,
England cannot be blamed for fighting Bons-
PASTe with his own weapons, and counteraaing
him with his own schemes. When his satellites
entered the kingdom of Naples, that moment
British soldiers had a right to occupy the island
of Sicily I when Bonatasta e last year laid
Portugal and Spain under contribution, that mo.
went England had a right to take posscssinn of
Cuba and Madeira; and when Bo N A rAar t's slaves
marched into Hanover, England had a right to
land an army in Egypt. Where one power respects
every thing, and another disregards every thing, it
is not difficult to foresee in whose favour the contest
must end.

their services, tempted by the hope of a large bounty &Aust.
is territorial indemnities, and fantastiz rl rank, which
BONAPA ATE distributes with such liberality to his
revolutionary recruits, at the drum head. In Italy,
numerous reinforcements are advancing from Mi-
lan to the Papal and Neapolitan States, to occupy
strong places, and augment the ranks of GeOmal
ST. Cert. These military movements, in the south
of that unfortunate country, might have been ex-
petted; but another infraCtion of the law of nations
has been committed in the north, for which, though
it can excite no surprise, the public mind was not
prepared. No fewer than three privileged persons,
the Swedish, Danish, and Batavian Consuls, have
been arrested, marched prisoners under a French
escort to Genoa, and thrown into the tower of the
fort in that city. The Corsican used to be con-
tent to bring down a single bird with a shot,
in the preserves of Europe; but now he spreads
his net over a whole covey, nor cares he for
leave, licence, or authority. Nu cause is assign-
ed
or hinted at in the foreign papers for this
violent and unprincipled aCt, which, probably, like
his other outrages, will pass without notice I or, if
made the subjeet of complaint, receive the same
satisfaCtory explanation that was given of the late
embargo at Leghorn. Should he even hang the
three Consuls, he will, no doubt, think it sufficient
to say, as in that case, "it was all a mistake." We
presume, however, that BONAPARTE has thought
fit to suspea the persons arrested and in prison,of some
conneetion with our cruisers in the Mediterranean, in
supplying them with provisions, or manifesting in
some other way a friendly disposition, and t'eat this
is the cause of his violent proceeding. The Foreign
Papers also inform us, that in the same week in
which the Minister of the King of SWEDEN official-
ly announces an end of all political communications
with BONAPARTE; the Port's Secretary of State
officially announces to the States of Europe the
official journey of His Holiness, to anoint and crown
au atheistical Assassin a most Christian Emperor.
History will not fail to mark this extraordinary con.
trait, and an sign to each of these twaSovereigns the
niche which they severally deserve to occupy in the
Temple of Fame. No mention is made of the
manner in which Russia has received the news of
the new title assumed by the House of AUSTRIA ;
but the arrival of a PRUSSIAN Niece at Vienna, and
the distinaion strewn to him, prove that Bomar ARTE
has made some progress in his plan to reconcile two
Sovereigns, whose Houses have been enemies or
rivals, with very little interruption, for upwards of
a ceatury, certainly since the conquest of Silesia by
FREDLAL.f. It the GREAT, in 1742.

More ships sailed on Wednesday from the Downs
for the French coast ; the wind, which for sonic days
has been from West to North, right on the Boulogne
coast. had changed to East, and enabled the enemy
to send their flotilla out of Boulogne and Calais if
they chose ; but they would not attempt to run from
Calais to Boulogne.
The *rather being uncommonly clear on Wed-
nesday evening, a distill& view could be obtained
from Dover heights of the French coast. There
was not a single vessel of the enemy's flotilla to be

could be distinetly perceived. The largest appeared
to be about four miles in length, and the smallcst
