ExcIisTADT,"FEB. 15.--While every other region
seems to enjoy the blessings of Peace, this little
Principality is in ..as pitiable a situation as if the War
continued. For fourteen days past, the Divisions of
NANSOUTY and BOURCIER'S Cavalry have been.can-
toned upon us. Since the Bth also we have been
visited by-Marshal BERNADOTTE ;" and we have. to

thousand horses, while our own population' does
not. amount-to less than thirty-eight thousand sotils.

NAPLES, FEBRUA/IY s:—The Crown Prince,. to

trusted the Governnieht of the Country., had dis-
patched Prince THEODORE to Prince Jbscrit, to
enter into Negotiations' with him. A Courier is
arrived with intelligence, that thoSe Negotiations
.have terminated in smoke; and there Was nothing
more for our-Royal Family to hope or to stipulate.
This news has made' a wonderful impression; all the
'Lazzaronii hoWling With rage, flew to arms ; the
Crown Prince has put himself at their head; and a
resolution has been taken of defending the country
to the. last extremity. The brother of. the Cro'wn
Prince has set off from hence with a view of putting
himself at the head of the crowd en masse in Calabria.

FROM THE FRENCH PA PERS.

SUNIMONS OF GENERAL IiEGNIER TO THE

COMMANDANT Of •GAETE.

" Gx NEs A:to-Without pursuing ,those operations which
ought to render me. master of thq place you command, I
.advise you to reed upon your situation, on the necessity Un-
der which you will find yourself to surrender Gaete to the
Army—you have lit tie ammunition,few means of defence, and
no hope of succour : in a few days r shall have reduced you to
the last extremity ; and you arc not ignorant that the inhabi-
tants must then become the sufferers.' Well you know, no-
thing dare oppose itself to the victorious march of the French
Army. To-day, General, I will grant you a Capitulation,
with all the Honours of War, and I recdmmend you to send
your answer immediately to my Aid-de-Camp.
" I have the honour to sign myself,:your's., ere.
(Signed) " REGNI-ER."
ANSWER.
• •

•
G EkER A L—Hav,ing received from my King stria orders
to defend this place tO the last extremity, and having furnish-
ed myself with 'the means, I can do no less than obey him. I
therefore' inform•ytiu, that I cannot accept the terms of sur-
render which you offer ; and remain, with'a determination to
justify the confidende which the King reposes m me, your's,
&c. (Signed) " The PIUNCE 1-IESSE,"

After the reply of the Prince •of klEssz, - General
REGNIER attacked the redoubt of St. Andre, armed
with six pieces of. cannon, and raised- it. Gen6-al
GRIGNY had his head carried off by a bullet ; lid was
a distinguished Officer, regretted by the Army: he
leaves a wife and a daughtei.- Prince JOSEPH has
recotnmended them to the Emperor, and has asked
permission to grant them a pension.
The 12th of February the Corps of the centre in-
vaded Capue, which answered the summons by a
discharge of cannon. On the 13th, in the Morning,
Deputies from the City of Naples were introduced.
to the Prince, and signed the resignation of Gaete,
of Capue, of PeStara, of Naples, and Other Forts.
General PARTONNEAUX entered Naples on the
15th. Prince JOSEPH departed to shew himself.—
The Neapolitan Officers having requested permission
to serve in the French Army, the Prince has formed
a Corps of Neapolitans, and constituted M. VIGNA-
TELLS, Lieutenant-Colonel of
,the regiment of Na-
poleon Dragoanc, Colonel of 'the 'lst regiment of
Napoleon Light Infantry.
Prince JOSEPH has been to Caserte—the buildings
of which appeared to him most beautiful and sump-
tuous. Recovered from their first terror,, the people
Of Naples have shewn great .friendship towards
France. They detest the English. The Nation is
detested by the whole Continent; and well it has de,
served to be so.

His Majesty the Emperor was at the representa-
tion of Athalie' when he heard the news of 'his
Army having entered Italy. He charged General.
MONTON, Aid-de-Camp of his own service, to cause
TALNA to announce this news at the end of the first
acct, and the punishment attendant on the .perjury of
the Queen of Naples.
The leaden sceptre of this modern Athalia is upon
the point of being broken without resistance. The
most beautiful country in the world will soon be sub-
jea to a strong but liberal government. The Em-
peror will re-establish the kingdom of Naples under
a French Prince; but-he will establish it on the laws
and interest of the people; and on the grand prid-
'ciple that the existence of the Throne, the power and
the splendor which encompass Sovereigns, the per-
petuation of, power and inheritance, are institations
for the service and re elation o'f;tho. -peOple. Europe.

As for the Kingdom of Naples, the least of its,
advantages is_foenjoy the liberty of commerce, and ,
to be no longer subject to the piracies of the Alge-'
rines. But the first and most obilbus of all is, that
they will be no longer exposed as the theatre of war,
but will he goVerned by-fixed, principles, according
to the interest and happiness of her people, and not
by furious and insensatepassion.
A circumstance favourable.ta: the Italian' nation is, - !
thatl its principal agents, who have .caused, the rain
of the throne, were Tuscans,.and-strangers in the
country. It is known that M. ACToty was an Eng-
lishman by birth, and by nature,- and that he only:
jadged of the interests of the.li,ingdom of Naples
by ,the interests of England.
We may assert, without , pretending
.to be pro-
ph3ts, that the house which shall saai-ifice-the repose,
the interest, and the welfare of the Continent; to the.
Whims, and to the guineas of those avaricious. and in-

applause of ,all the people of the Continent, and of

BERLIN, FEB. 25,.—There' is talk of the meeting
of a congresS at Berlin, in which "negotiatiOns will-
be opened for a Peace between England and France,

sion.-7-(ALcille du Nord.)

LEIPSIC, FEB. 23,—The report of a Congress for
a Peace between England and France, tote held at .•.
Berlin, tinder the mediation of Prussia, is entirely
unfounded.—(Hanzturgh Corecpondenten, Atfarck 1:)

ST.. PETERSBMIGH, FEB. 7.-Our Gsaette!s-con-
tains the following Article, dated Breslau, Jan.: 15 :
‘F Certain accounts from Vienna contradia, in the
most positive manner, the Assertions in many Jour-
nals, of a junEtion between the French and Austrian
Troops, 'in order to the occupation either. of Servia
and Bosnia, or of Moldavia and Wallachia; The
same accounts assure us, that his Roman Imperial
Majesty will never depart from those principles of
honotir and integtity which have invariably guided
his coudud in his .relations with friendly and allied
Powers ; and that he will list9n to no proposals that
may have 'hostile intents against any neighbouring
States." '

ANSPACH, FEB. 25.—Proclamation of Genera
BERNADOTTE to the Inhabitants of the Country of
Anspach "In consequence Of a Treaty concluded
between France and Prussia,"FliS Prussian Majesty
has consented to cede Anspach to the King of Ba-•
varia, and the occupation of this Country, conform
ably to the said Treaty, was to take place at
the same moment that the Troops of the King.
of Prussia were to take possession of Franq-
ver. The. F'russion having occupied that• 41e6to-
ire, I have received orders to proceed to the occu,

°pation of Ampach. The revenues and the resources
of the Country shall be put in sequestration for
the maintenance of the Troops which shall occupy
it, during the time which shall be judged necessary.
" The Army, the command of which is entrusted
to me, shall observe stria discipline; and I will pu-
nish with all the rigour of the laws every soldier
who shall desert, or who shall disturb the tranquillity
of the inhabitants.

LONDON,
MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1s(16.

YESTERDAY all the Hamburgh Mails, except that
which became due yesterday, arrived. We also re-
ceived Paris and • Dutch Papers, the former to
the Ist, and the latter to the _ Gth instant.
The intelligence which they_ contain is very impor-
tant, but in general of a very gloomy nature. The
'French have, as we Predieted;occupied Naples; brit
the accounts given in the French Papers of this
event are 'by no Means, ample, and in sonie
instances rather contradictory. It is however. dis-
tinaly stated, that JOSEPH BONAPARTE entered the
City of Naples•oh thei 15th ult. without resistance.
The only plade where it appearS the French
met' with any obstruaion was at Gaeta, of which
the Prince of Hassul was Governor. He refused
. to, Surrender, the Fort .on the summons of General
REGNIER, ands a cannonade ensued, int which the
French General GRIONY was killed. Mit a Depu-
tation was sent from Naples on the 13th to JOSEPft
BONAPARTE., the Members of which entered into a
Treaty with him, in consequence of which NapleS,
Pescara, and Capue, were surrendered. to the
French. The. king and :Queen of NAPLES have
taken refuge in Sicily ; the Jatter was very near
being lost on tier paSsage. It is not stated
any other French Papers whether the English:and
Russian Troops, ,which were in Naples, had re-
ernbaiked ; but •as" they are not mentioned in, any of
the accounts, it is 'most l)robable that they' had
quitted the 'Neapolitan Territories before the French
entered them. • .

Whether Naplei will be united to the Kingdom of
Italy, or whether it will ''be formed into a separate
Kingdom for one, of. the Bo'&APARTE FamilY, is not
distinaly stated ; but We. are inclined to think
that. it will 'be given to Prince JOSEPH ; and
ws'e,are very much mistaken if his territories be not
soon enlarged by the Ayhole, or at,least a very large
portion, of the States of the Church.

From the North of &trope tits News's eqtany
important. The French have taken possession of
the Prussian Territory of Anspach, and the Procla-
mation which Gen. BERNADOTTE published when
he occupied it, states, that a Treaty bad been con-
cluded between France and Prussia, by which the
latter had ceded Anspach to Bavaria; and it was
to be occupied' by French Troops as soon as
the King of Prussia's Troops should occupy Hanover,
It' the statement of General BERNADOTTE be cor-
teat, there subsiSts a much better understanding be-
tween Prussia and France than' recent events had led
ns to suppose. It appears, however, that the French
Army in Franconia has received considerable rein-
forcements,' and is likely to retain its present position
for'soine time. Whether this formidable Army is
assembled there for the purpose of keeping the
KING of PRUSSIA in awe, or whether BONAPARTE
entertains some apprehensions of the intentions
of the EMPEROR of GERMANY, we cannot pre-
tend to decide ; but the immense Russian Army
assembling in Lithuania, and the recent appoint-
ment of the Archduke CHARLES to be Generalissimo
of all the Austrian Forces; cannot but give the

Usurper some uneasiness.
We are precluded, by the great length of the Ex-
traas which we have made from the Foreign Papers,
from extending our observations upon. them at pre-
ient, but we will resume them to-morrow.

OUR Letter from Yarmouth, dated March ath,
si." The Carrier' Cutter arrived with intelli-
gence that the Enemy's Fleet has sailed from the
Texel, 'and supposed to be gone North about.
Vice-Admiral Russzt.i. has in consequence sailed
from hence, with every Ship in these Roads except
the Roebuck:"

Ti 2 West-India ileet, consisting of 152 sail of
Vends, under convoy of six iTrigates, sailed from
the; Cove of Cork on the 3d instant.

The Duke of DEDnairt's journey to Ireland is
postponed to this day week. Mr. Erzioar, it is ex-
peeled, will precede hint by two or three days ; and
Mr. PotisoNay was to have gone this day.
We understand that the SPEAKrIt has given it as
his opinion, that Mr. PONSONDY does net vacate his
Seat m Parliament by his Law appointment in Ire-
land, as there are abundant precedents of Commoners
holding the Seals in Ireland previously to the Union;
and as there was no disqualification in the formet
case, neither does there exist any ByTLaw in the
present. We believe Sir ALAN BRODE/iIrK and Sir
ICONSTANTiNE PHIPPS, with. the same office, sat in
the Irish House of Commons.
