In pursitauce of the circular address from the
Government to r.2l the Prelates of Tuscany, our
Archbishop trailstuitted to all the Clergy within
his diocese a pastoral letter, of which the follow-
ing is a passage :
w As seine of those who are subject to our au-
thority, forgetful of the most socred duties of a
Christian, have dared to take the liberty of cen-
. taring-Ilse Gorernment, we admonish you, both in
pitblic•sud private, to hold the Sovereign in re-
*poet and honour, sad by your sample and in-
structions to encourage the faithful to obedience.
Remember that the holy Apostle Paul calls
the servants of Cod ; cud the kings, of whom the
Apostle speaks, here no other than heathens and
Illivenultiel to the cause of Chri,t. The true Chris-
tian is the enemy of no man, much less of the Em-
peror, for he is aware that :Ls Majesty holds his ap-
pointment from C:od, and that lie must love and
shonour him, and offer up his prayers for his pre
eriatiou." _ _ .

Not only did the inhabitants testify their joy by

Bosco% JULY )6.

His Majesty this morning continued his journey
from Bribiesca. He gave aulience oa the way to
all the ;11aistcates of tue tliaszreitt j.laces he preued
through, who were solicitous of the honour of ati-
dressini; Ilis Majesty.
The King reached this city at eight in the
morning. triumphal arch, prepAred in ex-
pectation of his arrival, was erected at the en-
trance by which he had to come. The garrison
was drawn up on each side of the street, the win-
dows of the lionscs were ina,plifieently decorated,
wed the firing of cannon and ringing of bells con-
tributed to make Ilia Majv,ty's entrance splendid
in the extreme. .

Several tn.-lily-caparisoned chargers were in readi-
ness, in cart His 'Majesty had chosen to enter the
city on horseback. All the officiatiog servants
of the royal household waited upon Ili:, M ijesty.
Soon after his arrival Ills Majesty gave audience
to the Archbishop, the Chapter, intendant Cor-
regidor, the Consulate, the Ecclesiastical Col-
leges, and Spiritual Communities, together with
a number of persons of distinction resident in the
city and environs. Ills Majesty conversed a enabi-
acrable time with each of them ; entering into the
particular subjects which related to their ►espective
functions.

Having taken .op his residence at the Arch-
leshop's palace, which adjoins the Cathedeal, His
Majesty, soon after the Levee, went to see the Ca-
thAral, where he we received under a canopy, with
all the solemnities justly due to, and usually eb-
ltived with respect to Royal Personages.
At six in the evening His Majesty again gore au-
dience to the above-mentioned periods, and also to
a great number of officers, who hail the honour of
being introduced to him.
There was a general illumination in the evening,
and all these who had the Amour of being admit-
ted to His Majesty's presen:T, departed to their re-
spective houses highly trausported with the recrp-
boo with which he had been graciously plenme.:l to
hessour them, and the inte•cst which ld s Majesty
took in the concerns of the Uifierent places I►e passed

LON DON,
MONDAY. Auatist B.

DEPARTURE OF BONAPARTE FROM BAYONNE.
--WAR BETWEEN FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.

We have received Paris Papers to the 27th lust,
and Dutch to the ist iustant. They communicate

the important intelligence of the departure of Bo-
NAPAITE from Bayonne. He left the castle of
Merac, in the vicinity of that town, ou the
July, in the evening, and took the rout to Paris.
His subsequent movements are studiously involved

iu doubt and uncertainty. Some accounts state,
that he means to make a tour of the South-West
Coast of France ; others that he is gout to

—At the preseut moment we do not think thut he•
has either leisure or temptation to visit Nautes,
Brest, and Bordtanx.We believe that he is goue

to Paris, but tiaitis not his ultimate destination.

More pressing matter calls Inns to the Rhine, and
we shall probably ere long hear of his arrival ut
Strualturgli.—A Gentleman, who left Holland so
late as the evening of Tuealay the 2d instant, re-
ports, that, ea the preceding day, the AUSTRIAN
MIN ter La demanded his passports, and had actually

let out for Vienna. He also brings intelligence
that die Ambassador of the same Power to the
Court of France was recalled, and that General
ANDICOSSY had quitted 1 ienna. He " further
states that the Frencti troops were pressing in every
direction towards the countries bordering on the
Duchy -of Austria and kingdom of Bohemia,
mud Opt every thing indicated immediate
hostilities between Austria and France. The

Foreign Pipers communicate several circum-
"stances calculuied to prepare the public mind for
tins fault. The French army is assembling si-
lently, hot rapidly, on the right bank of the
Rhine. Under pretence of perfecting them in
their discipline, several corps have already marcked
to that quarter, where, under the immediate in-

spection of Marshal IiCI.LERMAN, they are pro-
bably preparing for a new attack on Austria. But
it is nut alone in these preparations on the
NAPOLSON'S distrust of that power may he per-
ceived. A large army, and. the neces,ary maga-
zines, are ordered to be collected at Udine, the

capital of Friuli ; and it is probable that the
French troops, so long stationary in Dalmatia,
were suffered to remain there, to overawe Austria.
and not to effect the dissolution of Tnrkey, their
ostensible purpose. We have always looked for-
ward tailor departure of Naebt.aos from lia)inine
as the gigolol to announce that theaffairs of Spoil' had
taken a decisive turn. It was rumoured last week
that JoSFell 1108.trAaT8 had arrived et Madrid
on the 20th ult. it is probable he did. An article
from that city states he was expected there at that
time. He arrived at Burgos ou the t6th, and left
it ou the following day.. The honours paid to him
at this Oder, the capital of Old Castile,. were of a
more nearsificent cast than those which he received
Ls the towns through which he itreviously passed.
—He here had an opportunity of displaying
some of those acts of clemency, which. among
a generous and high-minded people, would
be likely to gain him more sounterous partisans
:kali the army by which he is supported.—
He pardoned a number of persons who' hod
been concerned iu the late disturbances,"
for so it is found convenient to call the unanimous
determination of the people of Spain to assert their
right to have the Sovereign of their ch•ice. NA-
PotAtoti may hope to save his credit, and affect
to consider the entrance of Josses into the capital
of Si sin as the completion or his work ; but
the world will not be so deceived. Mach remains
yet to be done, much more, we trust, than he will
ever be able to accomplish. He has sent his bro-
ther, under a gourd. to Mcxlrid ; but the Spanish
proplc are yet to be conquered. The Muniterts to
the tttit6 contain several alterations, as well us
new articles that have been made and incorporuted
in the Spanish Coustitittioa. We have neither
spree nnr leisure to give them at present. They
are chief y calculated to conciliate said reeloacile
the middle and lower orders to this monstrous
usurpation. We understand that the Aloniteurs
of the 27th and 28th have been received, but that
they contain no intelligence whatever respecting
Spain.

'We this day resume our extracts from The Serilk
Casette, and The Comm. I)iary. Aiming them is
a detailed acount of the battle of Rio Seco, in which
the Spanish Patriots were commanded by CUSITA.
The advantage appears to have been for a consider-
able time on their side. A vigorous attack, how-
ever, by the French, towards the conclusion of the
engagement, threw the left wing of the Spaniards
into confusion, and deprived them of the honour of
remaining masters of the field.
This account is given in an article from Bene-
velar, the proximity of which place to the field of
battle furnishes a strong presumption in favour of
Ns accuracy. liidted, of the defeat of the. Patriots
in this utfair, there can I w little doubt. Of the opera-
tions of the respettive armies in Leon and Old
sub3rquent to the retreat of the Patriots
from ANI orga, and the departure of 111611111ERLS
from Beucreut., on the ifithk last, we have

nri information in the Spanish Papers ; but a letter
from Corunna states, thtt official aceouutts were
received there on the g9th, of the capture of the city
of Leon by a snail hod). of French troops, without
opposition.

The most important article in The Seville Ga-
zette is a detailed account, confirming the victory
of the garrison and citizens of N'aleutia over the
French army, comma:idea by General liloscev.

It wiU be found among our extracts from that
palter. Former accounts of this affair state, that of
10.000, the amount of MoNcky's corps, duly
effected their escape, and joined General Fakme
at St. Clemente. We always considered this loss
of the French an exaggeration. The remains of
MOXCEY'S army are stated in this account at be-
tween 2 and 3000. It WWI probably much greater,
as the Seville account only speaks positively to a
10-is of from 6 to 7000 on the part of the French.

We !Intl from the Spat:kit Papira, and it is ;1143
confirmed by letters from Cadiz, of the lGth ult.
that the troops under the command of General
Sec/mutt lead not proceeded to join General CAS.
TANOS, but remaiued at St. Mary's and Puerto
Real, where they disembark:ld.

There are strong grounds to fear that Bcsurrtrs
will be able to form a junction with Juisor before
the arrival of Sir AATILUEL WELLESLEY'S Evolu-
tion in the Tagus. It is said that he had marched
from Zamora, which is life more than IQ tia‘s
march from Oporto, and as his force is horn 11! to
14,000 mew, it would not be likely to meet on ot-
stacle in its way competent to arrest its progrtos.

A strong

:r, it it aid, has been de-

livered by the Russian Minister at the Court of
Holland against the application of the principle of
the decree for the exclusion of foreign couimme
to vessels under tlic Hag of his nation.
