FLANDERS MAIL.
TURIN, Mc. IS.
The Austrian army has lately made several move-
ments to take route concentrated positions, the ob-
ject of which aplicars to be to approach the Po,
espef.,ially those points at Awhich it would have to
effect its passage in ease it should receive orders to
cross that river, which it has not yet done. Mean-
time numerous reinfitreements continue to come
down fr. in the Italian A Ips, and to accumulate in
the states of Lombardy and Venice. %Vhen all the
reintlircemcnts expected from the hereditary states
shall have joined the army in Italy, its Cue, it is
said will amount to 260,000 men : of this force,
one halt only, we are assured, will be employed in
the cxredition with which the kingdom of Naples
is threatened ; the other will remain, us an army of
observation, as the foot of the Alps, beyond the
rivers which separate us from Lombardy. Whatever
may be the issue of the diffbrences between Austria
and the kingdom of the two Sicilies, and of the
events which threaten the south of Italy, our Court
seems to abide by its resolution of maintaining
strict neutrality
VIENNA, nrc. 19.
Our Emperor will arrive here from Troppau 'on
the 28th, but the Emperor Alexander will not bc
here till the Ist of .tottery, because he will remain
at Kremiser to pay a visit to the Cardinal Archduke
RudMpli. Fetes are preparing ter the Sovereigns,
but they will be very short, as it cannot be doubted
that their Majesties will set out almost immediately
fbr Lavlxich in Carinthia, where the King of Naples
is expected by the 22,1 of January. The prepara-
tions for war are carried on without intermi4sion.

FAANKFO:t r, tire.
Great curiosity is excited to learn the contents of
the protocol of the conferences at Troppau, which the
cabinet of Vienna has addressed to all its diplomatic
agents at foreign Courts. It is known that the
affairs of Naples tin in the only subject of them, and
that they strongly condemn the principle of revolu-
tions made by un armed force, and of constitutions
thus imposed upon Sovereigns.
The Great German Courts have communicated
to all the States of the Confederation by the medium
of their Ministers to the German Diet, their views
respecting the revolutions in Naples, Spain, and
Portugal, and their firm resolution to oppose all
changes of Government which may take place in
consequence of insurrectio
The German Diet will shortly have to deliberate
on subjects of the highest importance. Most r.f the
ministers who form a part of that assembly have
already received fresh instructions from their res-
pective Governments. It is affirmed, that a law
respecting the press is in agitation, which will be
made binding fur all the States which compose the
Confederation. As for the military affairs, the dis-
cussion of them will in all probability be again ad-
journed tar a time.
BRUSSELS, DEc. 30.
Yesterday morning at five o'clock, a dreadful fire
broke out in the palace of the Prince of Orange,
which entirely consumed that line building, in spite
of the most point as:istaiace of every kind, and the
extraordinary zeal and courage of the citizens, who
were eager to show their affection to the Prince rmd
Princess, by the most extraordinary efforts to stop
the progress of the flames.
His noyal Highness the Prince of Orange directed
the workmen, and encouraged their zeal with cool-
ness and intrepidity which so eminently characterize
him. Meantime the archives were removed from
the palace of the States General (which joins that
of the Prince), as well us the most valuable furni-
ture which could be rescued from the flames, and
carried into the park and the neighbouring houses.
The tire seems to have begun in the chapel of the
Princess, at the upper story. The Prince imme-
diately directed all the assistance which could be
given by the persons of his household, but in vain.
At seven o'clock tic Princess and her three sons left
the palace, which began to be a prey to the flames
and which soon spread further with amazing yin-
knee. They communicated to the noble hull of the
States General, decorated with so much taste and
elegance by M. Vander Stracten, the King's acid-
tees. Only the bare walls of that magnificent
building remain, but its fine frontispiece, which we
owe to the skilful hand of the sculptor, M. Gade-
charles, is happily uninjured. All the archives
and papers of the ancient government, those of the
province, and of the Tribunal of Commerce, have
been preserved. Nlany valuable eilects have been
saved, but many have also been destroyed. The tire
was not got under until five p. m. ; hut at ten there
was a fresh alarm, which, however, was soon re-
moved. Many persons have received sericus bodily
injuries, but it is not yet known whither any person
has perished. Tileir Royal Ilighnesses are at present
in the house of the Marquis tr Aach, Tire hope of
recovering some jewels, or incited sil.•er plate cau'tul
orders to be given to enclose the whole •apace with
boards ; in tact, some things have been faiind. The
jeweller of the Court, M. DAUS, has found sonic
same very valuable articles, but very mucii damaged.

The Prince has sent liberal assistance to the per-
sons injured dutinq their exertions at the tire, who
receive in the hospital all possible attention.

NAPLES, Dm 11.
On the Bth, at seven o'c!ock in the morning, all
the avenues of the Parlilment Llouse were besieged
by am immense crowd, whose attention was excited
by the Message of the King, presented on the pre-
ceding evening. The sitting coinmeneLd at ten
o'clock. The Ruggiero invited the people, with
whom the tribunes oveabwed, to assume a calm
attitude. The Deputy 13orelli, in the name of the

the Message cf the King. It concluded in these
words:—
" Ist. The Parliament will represent to his Ma-
jesty, that it has no power to adhere to any thing
which the Message contains contrary to the common
oaths, and the axial part which establishes the Spa-
nish Constitution." .

" 2d. The Parliament does not acknowledge the
power of consenting to the departure of the King,
ex-xi:in so far as this departure may have for its
object to smtuin the Spanish Constitution sworn in
common."
The Deputies Niciilai, Areorvita, Dragonctti,
Pepe, Taponaro, and Gddi, spoke in their turn.—
There was a cry for potting the question to the vote,
and the Parliament instantly adopted by acclamation
the conclusions of the Committee. An Address to
the King, also dictated by acclamation, contains the
itillowing passages:— •

DEC. 13.—We arc in a moment of crisis. The
naws of the departure of the King has excited a very
great agitation in the public mind.—This night the
populace assembled in tumultuous groups in the
Rue de Toledo and the public places. Two Procla-
mations have been •published, which appear to have
• somewhat tranquillised the feelings of the people.
The King embarked this day, about five o'clock,
on board the Vengeur. The French frigate, the
Duchess of and an English frigate, accompany
his Majesty, who will laud at Leghorn. Among
the persons composing the suite of the King,
amounting to forty-eight, we have noticed the
Duchess of Florida, the Prince de Viscentl, the
Marquis Rah, Minister of the Royal House, Prince
Iluoti, Captain of the Guard, Prince de Buttons,
Gentleman of the Chatnber, Father I'orta, his Ma-
jesty's Confessor, &c.
FLORENCE, DEC. 10.
We learn from Legharn that the squadron wish
the King of Naples and suite on board, was yester.
toy descried in our port. It is expected to enter
the road this day, and preparations are making here
fbr the reception of this august traveller.
The suite of this Monarch is composed of about
sixty persons, including the Marquis de MN), the
Princess Niseeni, the Marquis del Vasco, and Mons.
Frilli, Private Secretary of Isis Maje.ty's Cabinet.
The Princess of Purlanne, Duchess of Florida,
Consort of his M.tjesty, accompanies him only as far
as Florence. She will await in Tuscany the return
of the King from Laybach. The King is resolved
to cross the Apennines and the Alps with all possi-
ble dispatch.
It is said that, under certain circumstances, the
Duke de Gallo, present Minister fin. Foreign Affairs;
may be called by the King to Laybach. No disorder
has been committed at Naples. The people Wowed
the King, crying, " Vive le Rol!" until the mo-
ment he embarked.
