CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 1 French Charge

in a Note,.in which France lays claim, as possessing
the Venetian Territory, to all the Possessions in.

BANKS OF THE INN, APRIL i',3.—The French
proceed very adively in the fortification 'of 'Brannan;
they have lately increased the number of trenches,
and have strengthened the works with palisadoes.
They have also put the small Fortress of Neuhaus,
mar Passau, in a better state of defence.
BANKS or THE LECH, APRIL 24.—Marshal SOULT
still.has his Head-quarters at Passau ; Marshal NEY
at Meanningen; Marshal BERNADOTTE at Anspach ;
Marshal DAVOUST atElwangeri ; and the. General
of Division VAN DAMME at tandshut. The Troops
have been obliged to extend their quarters of canton-

of slaughtering all their cattle if more forage should

be required-of them.
Munch, APRIL 25.---The Empress of Russia has
sent by a Courier, as a present to our Queen, a su-

casion to ditierent reports, and . among others, to that
of an approaching marriage. between 'our Prince
Royal and the Grand Dutchess of Russia.

Italy mention, that the French 'have attempted an
assault at Gaeta, but haVe been repulsed with loss..

command.

BANKS OF THE MAINE, APRIL 29.—The report
in circulation, that the Senator BEAUHARNOIS is in-
tended for the place of Supreme Head of the Hel-
vetic League,, acquires every day more consistence.
It is said that he will govern SWitzerland under the
title of " Landamman for life," but that at his death
the Country will pass to his sOn-in-law, the Electoral
Prince of BADEN. Should this project be carried into
execution, we shall see reign at Naples Prince Jo SE rn,
the brother of the Emperor; in Upper Italk; Prince
EUGENE, Viceroy; in Swifzerland, the uncle of that
Prince, the brother-in-law of the Empress ; along
the Rhine to the Main the Eleeloral Prince of
BADEN, son-in-law of M. DE BEAUTIARNOIS ; from
thence to Holland, Dute JOACHIM, brother-in-laW
of the Emperor; and in Holland, Prince LouiS, the
brother of that Monarch.

It appears certain that the Ele.Etor of Baden will
extend his possessions from the frontiers of Switzer-
land along the Right. Bank ofthe Rhine to the. Maine.
We are assured that the Negotiations on this sub-
jeet, between France and the Landgrave of Hesse
Darmstadt, are entirely concluded; that Prince
cedes his possessions on the Left Bank of the Maine,
which consist principally of Stenkenberg, for. which
he receives a complete indemnification in Westpha-
lia; Manheim will definitively be the residence of
the Ele6toral Prince of Baden.

_run along the
Coast of Africa; took two Liverpool Guineamen,
