The great Parisian Military Festival will not take
place, accor u.,g to some accounts, till the end of
May, and perhaps even later. The principal scene
of th;s exhibition is to beian ancient koman triumph,
accompanied with all the decorations of modern
splendour.
The Duchy of Berg, which has been ceded by
Bavaria to France, contains 60 geographical Kuala
miles, and about 300,000 inhabitants.

■AILS, MARC!! 7.
If the prohibition to import our woollen stuffs,
muslins, &c. into France, has occasioned the great-
est alarm among our manufa6urers, another cir
cumstance has diffused still greater apprehension
among all classes of inhabitants. This is a report
that the importation of provisions from Swabia has
been forbidden. Our burdens will thus be doubled,
by the dearth occasioned by the diminished importa-
tion of the necessaries of life, while our profits have
been extremely diminished by the decrease in the'
sale of our manufaatires abroad. If these prohi-
bitions be carried into 'fed, our situation will be
truly pitiable. Meanwhile report speaks much of
near approaching great political alteration ; and the
preference which the Swiss manifest for Prince
Murat, renders the report probable, that they
will soon send a deputation to Paris, to request
him er some other French Prince as their regent.
By this voluntary measure, all our difficulties would
certainly be immediately removed.

NAPLISS, res. 2s.
The French army has divided into several corps.
One of thefts, commanded by General Regnier.is on
its n-.arch for Calabria.

Gaeta. where the Prince of Hesse Philippstal
*commands, has not yet surrendered. General Gar-
daunt coadues the siege. General St. Cyr corn-
mands the corps which is on its march for Apulia.
At this moment we learn, that the Neapolitan
troops. which had withdrawn to Calabria. are em-
barking for Sicily. The French army, however,
has not inteimitted its march : it will attempt a
lauding in Sicily. Heavy artillery has been sent to
the siege of Gaeta.
PIUS, MARCH IS.
Report speaks of the formation of a military
household for the Emperor, like that of the ancient
Kings of France. Several persons are already men-
tioned as members of this new corps. It is added,
that it will be necessary to bring proofs of nobility
to ()buil' admission into this corps ; not of that
which dates from the battles of Cressy. of Poitiers,
and Agincourt. but of that personal nobility which
was acquired in the plains of Ileums, at the re-
talturz of Weissemleurg. at Lodi, at Arcola. at
Marengo. at Ansterlks ; of that nobility which
transmits to children great examples and great du-
ties, without any privileges. In this manner the
whole Imperial Guard has been already formed.—
What are called quartersof noltility.are four wounds.
In this warlike family all the soldiers know each
other. and are known to the Empetor. ( Jew nal
de l'Elapire.
A Journal, which has a very extensive circula-
' time. contains the following passage : 44 We are
justified in believing that the Emperor, the first
among the warriors of every age. is leas desirous
to add lure to the throat. by the formation of a
military household, than to epee a career to a great
number of men, who, front inclination, and a thou-
sand considerations, are under the necessity of
adopting the profession of arms." The writer adds.
the reform made in the military household of the
King, contributed greatly to weaken the menial
spirit is France."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
