The FAl,Eitoti of AUSTRIA was expetaed to.
make his entry into his Capital on the 16th. It ap-
pars, however; that ,a large body of French Troops
were to retnilln iii Germany, The Division of Auo
BEAU, W-t;; stationed in Besse Darmstadt, was
to bpreinforced by 15,000 men, and placed under the

command of LANNE'6. It is also stated, that 12,000
French Troops were to remain in Bavariii; 13V-url

these Countries. The KINGS of BAVARIA and WWI-
Tzmr,tinox will thus pay dear for their newly as-
sumed Regal Dignities. The,real object of •so large
a body of French Troops remaining in Germany is
probably to keep Prussia in cheek, in case that
Power should'evince any hostile spirit..
The hints thrown out in the Continental Journals
render it more and more evident that an. attempt
will, ere lcng, be made, at least_ to wrest some 'of
the Turkish Provinces from toe Ottoman Porte; if
not entirely to dismetriber the Empire. We are
told, in elle of tie German Journals, that the Star
of Austria is to become more resplendenc than ever,
and that the Crescent is, about •to be obscured ; in
plain English, that Austria is to be indemnified
out
sof Turkey for the- Territories which France
has choSen, to take from her. The old stories
of InsurreCtions in the Turkish Provinces, Of which
recently we have not heard much, are revived, and

VONAPARTE was to leave Munich on the 20th.

The French... Army under the command of; ST.
CYR were marching in three c6umns to the Neapo-
litan Territories. The Letters from N:lples speak of
great preparations for defence, but we much fear
that scarcely any exertion of skill or bravery could
save the Neapolitans from the rapacious grasp 'of the
French, particularly as there is great reason to be-
lieve that the English, Ftussian,, and other Foreign
Troops, had re-embarked.
A Line of Neutrality is talked of in some, of the
German Journals, which is to extend 'from the
mouth of the Ems, nearly in a southern dire ion, to
Friedberg on the right Bank of the Mein, and from
thence through the territories of Wurtzbourgh and
Bamberg, including Bayeuth.

This morning' we received American Papers to
the Bth ult. One of them contains a Atong Memo-
rial of the Merchants of the City of New York to
the President and Congress of the United States,
complaining of the obstruelions thrown by .this
Country in the way of th&r carrying trade be-
'tweet) the Colonies of our Enemies and the Mother
Country, which they assert to be just and legal, and,
to protea which they pray for 'the assistance of .a
permanent Navy. The Memorial is very long, but
as it is of considerable importance, 'we shall endea-
vour to lay it before our Reader's to-morrow.
The only other-article of importance in theSe Pa-
pers is the following, which• is extracted from the
.iVeuP=lOrk Advertiser of the 6th -tilt': •

• ", Captain Wtt.Ls from Curracoa informs,. that
the Island of Aruba, about 30 miles to leeward of
Curracoa, had been- taken from the English by a
Dutch Sloop of War ; there were eight Spanish
Prizes at the Island. A Britishl'ender, of 14 guns,
engaged the Stoop of War two hours, put several
shot through her quarters, and succeeded in getting
off a Spanish pride, Worth .(.,,,0,000 dollars ; she got

BREMEN. JAN. 17,

SOME days 2go nothing was talked of but an im,

mediate embarkation of the British TroOs, in con-
sequence of the arrival of some transports from Eng-
land ; but it would appear at present that the Army
would not.quit the Continent so soon as expeaed,
as the division of'the Germm Empire, which 80.
. .
NAPARTE has schemed out, certainly does not plemet
the KING of PRUSSIA, and it is the unanimous opi-
nion here, that he will not permit thp English Army'
.to be,.<re-shipped before an arrangement be-made
suitable to his wishes. • . -•
The
.adVancement of 'the apostate Ele&ors to
Regal dignity, and the Vast acquisitions of territory
which they have obtained, throws a wonderful
balance of power-in favour of France,. and reduces
his Prussian Majesty to quite.a cypher on the Con-
tinent ; yet, whetherle will maintain his dignity,
or submit to be wreathed with the galling Gallic
yoke, is not yet positively. known. His army is in
an excellent situation, well equipped with all the
implements of war, and known to possess uncom-
mon patriotism; so that, should BONAPARTE force
him into the field, he will certainly find that kind of.
resistance which lie hh.s not been in the habit of ex-

•
periencing.
The EMPEROR of RUSSIA will undoubtedly. support
Prussia to the utmost extent of his power; so that,
considering his present Political situation on the Con,
tinent, he has Certainly much less to fear now:than at
any fiture period. It is eXtreinely to be lamented
that he hesitated so long to take an aaive part in the
present contlid ; a inontk sooner would have de-
cided the fate. of Europe more to the interest of

every man in it. • .
General TOLSTOY is expected this evening to ar-
rive here, but whether on a visit to Lord CAnI-
CART, cr on military business, is not known.
The. reports from .Berlin are extremely, contra.
diaory : some affirm that 1-lauoWrrz is dismissed;
Others (which I think most likely), mention his de.
parture to Paris on a very important commission.

No alteration in the position of the British tinny.
They are all quite alive here, but provisions of
every clekription very dear, but flit; karc3. The
Peasantry its the country, and the Trades-people in,
are getting rich as fast as possible.- net.

P. S. Since writing tlaa above, I have been fit-
voured with the following remarks, from good au-
thority—The modest Usurper insists upon Prussia's.
giving up. Silesia to the House of Austria, qs an in,
clernnificatiOn for the Tyrol, and to tale Hanover in
lieu of it also the Port of•Erribdcn, and the whole 9f
East Friesland, to the Dutch ;. for which he pro-
poses, in return, some part of Holland contiguobi
to Prussia. These, and several other changes of an
inferior nature, he insists up.on as-a sine qua nop of
his friendship.

THE OPERA.—The beautiful Opera of Argenide
e ,erze had a very splendid and nunic;ous Audience,
on Saturday at the King's Theatre.—Mrs. BILLIN6-
TON was finely in voice, and .she was most ably se-
conded by BRP,HA l‘iusic of this. Opera in-
creases in popularity at every .tepetition.—The
PRINCE of WALES and all the Fashionable World.
were present.

THE THEATRE.—The,Tracredy of Cymbeline was
repeated on. Saturday last at Covent-Garden 'rhea-
tre.—KEMßLE. was so, much oppressed by a severe
cold that he was unable to attempt the part of Post-
humous, which Was- therefore undertaken at a short
notice by Mr. H. SumoNs, from the other Theatre.
He performed the charadter so well altogether as to
stand in little need of the indulgence which would
otherkvise have been due to his sudden assumption
of it, and received much applause. --COOKS
sufficiently recovered to take the part of lachimo,
in which he is more easy than at first —Miss SMITH
excited interest and obtained considerable applause
in Imogen.—" We Fly 17j Night" detained the whole
of the Audience, and strongly operated on their ri-
sible feelings.

Master BETi'Y'S Douglas was well "attended on
Saturday at Drury-Lane'Theatre; but the bustle'and
competition tol. plaCes are now entirely at an end.—
All illiberal opposition to hird is at an end also, for
though the applause he received was languid indeed,
compared with what it has heretofore been, there
was no hostile attempt against him.

A very liberal arrangement has taken place.at the
Post-office, and was, w•e believe, one of the last acts
of the late lamented Premier; throughout every de-
partment some advance has taken place, and the
Clerks, independent of their former chance 'of suc-
ceeding to situations of more emolument, are now
assured of 2001. per annum after 15 years service,and
an additional 501. for every succeeding term of five
years.
The price of dollars has fallen two-pence per. oz.
hi consequence of the partial suspension of sp..fcie
remittances to the Cont neat, ,and it is .expeded to
-be much lower.
