PRIVATE LETTER.

VIRSNA. APRIL 23.

Our Go►ernment has ordered three new fortresses
to be built in the ci Venetian States, and two
in Tyrol. The plan, after being approved hy the
Archduke Charles, is ordered to be carried imme-
diately into execution. But this, as well as the com-
pletion of eil our regiments, is only a defensive mea-
sure. It has, notwtthstanding, caused suspicion in
France—and the French Ambassador here has bad
several conferences on this subjea with our Ktnisters.
An outline of an alliance between the two Impe-
rial Courts has been drawn up at St. Petershurgh
and, with little variation, approved Isere. It is,
however, not yet igatd, as the King of Prussia has
been invited to accede to it, and his definitive an-
swer is nct yet known. Since the removal of Haug-
wits, we suppose he will join in a conneaies, s, rpt
cs, rcrtaix caws. merely defensive, against the future
encrneehments of France. Bonaparte's einissaf,es,
informed of this negotiation, do every thing in their
power, by intrigues, by bribes, or by threats, to
peva,: us conclusine.
The Emperor has sent two of Lis CLamberlaists
to attend the Queen of Naples, who is expe&d
here ; as Jan6ts are yet entertained, that the Fteach
