Austrian and Sardinian engineers are arrived in the Guif of Spezzia,
charged to ckstroy the works which had been begun under the Gl-
vernment of Buonaparte, to forma military po,t :it that place. They
speak of an exchange, by which this fine Gulf would come under the
dominion of Austria.

It is stated that 'Marshal Massena had applied for pass-
ports to quit Frilace. The application is said to have been
made in consequence of his having learned that the Duke
D'Angouleme has, in his tour through the Southern
Departments of France, received information tending to
criminate the Marshal, and that the accusations against him
are supported by the signatures of 15,000 persons,
catered in books which had been opened for the purpose.

clothes, /cc. for the troops shall not be imported, except pro-
