FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

FRANKFORT, APRIL 8.
Great movements are remarked in every part o f
Italy, which is occupied by French troops. Great
reinforcements are very shortly expeaed.
General Murat has expedited several couriers to
Rome and Naples, and we are assured that he de-
mands a passage for a body of 30,000 men, which,
if war breaks out, will proceed to Sicily to effea
from thence an expedition against Malta.—Every
body disapproves highly of' the conduit of the
English, who, tinder vain pretences, obstinately
refuse to evacuate that island, which the Govern-
ment, however, promised in the most solemn man-
ner, to place in the hands of the Grand Master.
The latter (M. de Thomasi) has attempted in
vain to obtain the consent of the English Govern-
ment to deliver up Malta, and to take possession of
it in the name of the Order. The Neapolitan gar-
rison, which is now in that island, may be called
prisoners of war to the English, who occupy all the
fortresses, and who do not suffer a single Neapolitan
soldier to enter the town of Valette. The artillery
of the Neapolitans is in the power of the English.
Their Chief alone resides in the capital of the
island with his Etat Major, but he is in a state of
surveillance.
The English officers announce, in a high tone,
that their Government has made arrangements for
the keeping of Malta, and that it will send thither
considerable reinforcements. They expert the Eng.
lish garrison from Alexandria, which in an insur-
reaional movement, forced General Stuart, the
English commander in Egypt, to sign an engage-
ment, by which he promised to depart with them
from Egypt, in the course of the month of March.
This event is spoken of in different ways ; it appears
nevertheless certain, that the report which was
spread, of a battle between the English and the
Turks, is void of foundation. The most authentic
advices inform us, that the ravages of the plague,
and the disagreements to which the .i.nglish were
daily exposed on the part of the Turks, who did
not wish to suffer any longer the stay of those whom
they called infidels, induced the English to force
their General to quit Egypt in spite of the orders
of his Court, which had enjoined him to remain
there some months longer.

fIAMBURGH, APRIL 9.
All the accounts from Germany agree in an-
iouncing that the Courts of Vienna and Berlin,
have resolved to preserve the most exalt neutrality
in the event a renewal of hostilities. We are
assured that Prussia will receive the vessels of both
nations into its .ports.—The Emperor of Germany
appears willing. to adopt the same system. Al-
though the decision of Russia is not yet known,
there is reason to believe that it will be in favour of
Peace. It is asserted, that General Duroc will
make, immediately, a second journey to Berlin.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 17.
The small English squadron which was lately ob-
served off Ostend, consisted of six frigates and a
few cutters; it kept;: it zing along the coasts of

PRICE

'ENCE.

Flanders and Zealand as far as the mouth of the
Mettle, where it seemed to expert to unite with that
of three sail of the line and two frigates, in order to
observe the French armament destined to take pos-
session of Louisiana ; but as that expedition is sus•
pended, it is probable the English are apprized of lt;
and that their ships of war, which successively en-
crease in numbers on the coasts of Holland, will con:
tinue cruising on that point, in order to observe and
reconnoitre the military dispositions that take place
there as Well as in the ports.
The disembarkation of the troops that were em.
barked at Helvoetsluys still goes on in that pert
they provisionally take positions in the nei:ghbour
hood df that town. The General of Division,
Vidor, still holds the Command of these troops.
which in case of war; will be employed on another
expedition. The same letters add, that General Mon:
trichard, who has the chief command of the auxiliary
French troops in the pay of Holland, is authorised to
distribute those lately arrived in Holland,in such for-
tresses as it may be necessary to occupy, where they
are to remain until the great question of peace or war
is decided, which event is looked upon as quite at
hand; that they are then to be informed of their
further destination, accerding as circumstances may
require. In the mean time) a detachment has set
out for Antwerp, on its way to Breda, and still fur=
ther, small corps of troops are dire ling their march
towards the Batavian territory. It is also said, that
that in case of a rupture, there will be no camp
between Brussels and Louvaine at the time of the
First Consul's arrival in Belgium ; but that the
troops destined to form it) will proceed directly to
Holland.
BOURDRAUX, APRIL 15.
Citizen Dacitr, principal Commissary of the Ma-
rine of this place, has just published the following
extra& of a letter, addressed to him by Citizen Ber-
ton, Counsellor of State, and Colonial Prefeet of
Martinique, dated St. Pierre; Stith Ventose, (March
1(i).

u I am so much of your opinion respelling the
means of preserving our tranquillity, that from the
moment the island was taken possession of; I en-
forced the black code with the same strietness as it
was exercised previous to 1789. The people of co-
colour, who, under the English government, had
obtained greater moral liberty than under our an-
cient government, has resumed the habits of restraint
imposed on them under the government of Emerer
and Bonnie. I hope, my dear friend, that our colony
will continue tranquil, notwithstanding its vicinity to
Guadaloupc, which cannot be dangerous, in con-
sequence of the precautions which we have taken, by
subjeCting all vessels. arriving from that quarter to
a quarantine, in order to preserve us from the spirit
that reigns there, as the neighbouring places were
protected from the commottons which reigned at
Toulon and Marseilles.
" I send you some decrees which have been
issued relative to internal police, customs, finance,
and commerce. You will see with pleasure the
measures which I have thought it necessary to take
in favour of the mother countrY, by expelling the
English merchants, who had established their in-
dustry here at the expence of ours, and by granting
acilities for forwarding the progress of French.
merchandize.
" Your ships do not bring us any flour, and in
the mean time, I prohibit the introduCtion of Ame-
rican flour, with the view of giving to Bourdeaux,
this branch of commerce.

4, Wines are a present extremely low priced, but
we hope, that the English will ere long send orders
for them. Last week there were sold five thou-
sand casks.

" Our Colony is happy, tranquil, and produ&ive.
Its commerce will speedily be extended. I invite
the Spaniards to this place, and I endeavour by
all possible means to withdraw from any connthion
with the English Colonies, particularly with Tri-
nidad. But you know the Empire of habit, and
how difficult it is to conquer it."

STATE OF THE NATION.

Mr. PATTEN rose for the purpose of postpon-
ing his promised motion on the State of the Nation
which stood for to-morrow.--In doing so he was
not, he said, actuated by any motives of a personal
nature, for he was perfectly ready to submit the
question he had to propose to the House : but he
thought it his duty to comply with the wishes of
several Gentlemen who were desirous the business
should stand over in order to give his Majesty's Mi-
nisters an opportunity of tanking some comu►unica•
