10. Easter.day, _Epistle, Cu!. S. I. Gospel, St. John 20. 1. This day I
has been since the time of the Apostles, kept most solemnly, in com-
memoration of the resurrection of our Saviour fiom the Bend. Tie be
came 'the fest fruit; of them that slept," and this act of the Omnipotent
was one of the greatest pledges which man could receive tsswards his ul-
timate salvation, " !or •ince by man came death by man came also the
resurrection of the de :d : for as in Adam all die : even's() in Christ shall
all he made alive." 1. Cor. 15. 20. It was therefore natural that the
followers of Christ should hate from the beeinning celebrated this mi-
raculou, transaction with appropriate pomp, and that the Allelqjah should
be sung in all churches ns a watch-word for rejoicing in Christ. The
word Easter has purrled s• many learned commentators that it would be
p; estr,ipt nous to make a new attempt at explaining it ; but the word
Os:icrls na Latin. which is rendered by East in English, fury kart to a CO4l-
- of the disp-ite, those who are satisfied to know that the light of the
Gospel rose for us as the Sun does, in an Eastern part of the globe.—

REPORTED DECLARATION OF AUSTRIA AGAINST
FRANCE.

On Thursday last a Hanoverian Officer arrived with dis•
patches for Count 111usrER, and also for Government.
The latter contained the impottant intel!igence, if true, that
Austria had joined the common cause with an army of
180,000 men, 80,000 of whom were to act in Germany and
100,000 in Italy. A rumour had previously prevailed that
-Austria had concluded a treaty of neutrality with Rus-
sia and Prussia. On inquiry it was ascertained that the
report transmitted to Government respecting the accession
of Austria, only rested ors the authority of ganiburgh net's-
papers. A passenger in the C./um/trite pilot cutter, whit!'
arrived on Wednesday, at Harwich, from Heligoland, also
• stated, that the Hanoverian Consul at that Wand, bad re-
ceived a lettei: from Altenbyuck, near Cuxhaven, asserting
