According to the last letters from Naples, the
peo; le iu Sicily are impatiently expeamg the ar-
rival of the French. The Court of Palermo has
alacedy packed up its most vabialile effeEls, in readi-
nest to send them to Malta. Some frigates are also
in readiness, to depart with the whole as soon as
the French make their appearance.
A letter from Trieste, of the 29th of July, says,

terms, the cuanges that leave Lifscn „lace in Ilsaot.y,
bVersaw, Loattaic, and Prus ia ; but all this had
been promulged is the treaties of Tiled. With

all this atterition to brevity, however, he does
not forget to repeat, that the King of Paussi• owes
the shadow of a kingdom, wine.) he is allowed to
retain, to Bus AAAAAA s resp,:t lie the Emperor of
Kassa. He forgets that trie treacherous cuuncils
of Prussia enabled him so crush the German Em-
pire, and he taunts her as a pauper, indebted fur a
settlement to his respect for a Power, which com•
meaced the war Asher Ally, and ended it by j rising
with hareem>, to despoil her ; a putvcr which ne has
hitherto charaderised as barbarous, and totally untit
to be admitted within the pale of civilised harope.
The only prospedive part of the Speech is tea: in
which he says, "he wishes for peace by sea, and
declares that ha feels no imitation against us, be-
cause he cannot be irritated against a nation which
is the sport and vitim of the parties which devoar it,
and which is misled, as well with respect to it. own
au-airs, as to those of its neigh:sours." This passage,
it is true, is free from the petulant abuse in which
he has hitherto indulged, when speaking of England,
and is therefore regarded pacific ; but, we think,
very little can be colleflad from it. For the Head of
a Great Empire to promise that so petty passions
shall divert him from the true ieteresta of the coun-
try, is a pitiful thought ; and whatever moderation
may appear in the indecisive terms in which he

speaks of the result of the maritime war, is, per.
haps, over-balanced by his boasted isfluence over
Spain, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, and Rus-
sia. There is one other passage which may be con-
sidered as a deve:opement of the projea of Bors A.
• it is that is which, speaking of AL sz-
ANDIIII, he styles him, "the powerful Emperor of
the North." Some may think that this is thrown
out as a bait to induce Russia to compliment Bo-
wie!, the title of Emperor of the %VIVI' ;
but it is, perhaps, ..ating him too high, to
sappose that every word that falls from his
lips is charged with extraordinary meaning. The
lEmperor ALEIANDIik is truly descrihed the power-
ful Emperor of the Nosy. ; and Cu title coming

from any other Potentate in EutSpy
