Pasewalck. This Officer was also the bearer ct
another letter to His Prussian Majesty, to be. for-
wurded to Berlin-by the Prussian Commandant.

ESSEN, MAY 23.—A1l the late reports, 'relative to
the, departure of the French and Prussian Troops
from this quarter have perfe&ly died away. It is
now said, that the Duchy of Arenberg and Croy is
to be incorp6rated with CleVess; and that French
Troops will occupy that 'Territory in the course of A
few days.

companied by an Aid-deCatnp, has been dispatch-
ed as a Courier from Munich to Vienna, by Prince
ALEXANDER BEI-Cif-I'ER.

FRANKFORT, • MAY 23. ---Nbtwitlistanding the
dispositions making by a considerable part of the
French Army, a great number of Troops are to re-
main upon the Right Bank of t!,e „Unine till the-
affairs of the 'Empire ' are definitively settled, and
this must of necessity be the case in the course of a
tew months.

Marshal SOULT is at Ratisbon but though many
reports are in circulation, hi visit has no object but
that of private curiosity.
PARIS, MAY 30.—0 n the departure of the• post
from Madrid, on the 19th inst. the Princess of llstu-
rias was despaired of.

The audience at the Thuilleries, on Sunday, the
Ist of June, it is said, will be uncornintutly Epl!!ridid,
that being the•day appointed for the iorinal pre;e.nt7
ation of the Batavian. Deputation to his Majesty the
Emperor ; after which they are to have an audience
of his Imperial Highness Prince Louis, the Consti-
tutional King of Holland. Most probably our Offi-
cial Raper will very shortly publish the result of the
Negotiations, between this Government and the
Commissioners. '

CONSTAN'TINOPLE, APAIL 2.52.---It is asserted, that
a Courier ws lately sent to St. Petersburgh with a
letter; in the Sultan's own hand, to the liloperof of
Russia. This letter expressed the Sultan's satisfac,
tion at the declaration of Russia : consequently, in
case of any attack upon the Sublime Porte from any
quarter, 'sufficient support is confidently 7expe6ted
on the part of Russia.

AIA Y 22.—We learn by Letters from -
Vienna, that a body of Austrian Troops, composed
of ten Battalions of Infantry, have marched from:
Zengg, and other. parts of Dalmatia, tbr Cataro, to
take possession, Oftliat place, in order to its being'
delivered into the hands of the French, conforma-
bly to the stipulations of. the Treaty pf Presburgh.
We also • learn that it was on the nth instant the
Messenger so impatiently expeded at Vienna arrived
there, on his return from St. Petersbu*; and it has
since been reported, that the Eniperor of Russia had
sent orders to the Commanda:lt L:t Cataro to put the
Austrian Troops immediately in possession of that
place. SApriVate letter from Vienna contains some
piirticulars relating to this intelligence. • It mentions,
that the. Emperor ALEXANDER addressed the Ern-
, peror of Austria direaly on this subje6t, and took
an oppOr,tunity to declare his friend!liip and regard
i. for him; attributing to these, in a great measure, the
resolution he had taken, and expressing, besides, his
determination not to protrak any longer the cause
of inisunderstandinti° between France and Austria.
In consequence of this disposition in the Court of
St. Petersburgh, it is believed at Vienna, that the
Fortress of Brannan will be soon delivered up to the
Austrians, and that the French will not long re-
main on the,Banks of the Inn and Danube.
VI EN NA, MAY 21 . —We are, assured the EMPE-
ROR Of GERMANY will SifOrdy visit a part of the new
Frontiers of his MOnarchy, accompanied by the Arch-
duke JOIIN„ to examine such points as it may 'be
found necessary to fortify. Austria is 'not yet in
possession 'of Brannan, which is hereafter to be the •
principal Fortress Lpon the Inn;. nor is this expeaed
till intbrmatron shall ,be received of the delivery of
Cataro to the French. general BEI.LEGARDE is
charged by the EMPEROR to receive Cataro from the
hands of the Russians, and to give it up to the
French. The post of the Austrian 'Ambassador, at
Paris, is now filled, it being conferred upon Count
METTERNICH, the late Imperial Envoy at* Berlin,
He is to be succeeded by General MEERVELDT, now
upon an extraordinary Mission at St. Petersburgh.-
-This clay Baron FELTZ, who has been ordered to
resume his funtiions at the Hague, will set out for
Holland. The Count D'ELST is appointed to.tht•
Court 'of Madrid, and ‘vill depatt in the course, of
a' few days.

The armed citizens (Volunteers) of this place are
now aubtnented to -0;000 risen : other places fol-
lowing their example, there will shortly be a second
line of defence erected, which will 'exceed 400,000
men.

tugal has returned from his late tour to the Fron-

last War, sent him. a Deputation, expressing their
regret at that circumstance, and their wish to be're-
ceived again under his prdteation. The Prince of
Peace has taken 30 much umbrage at this affair, that
the Members of the Deputation are to be prosecuted
at law.

The Fable chiefly depends on the attachment of
two Noblemen and their mistresses, and this qz.ta-'
drriple Connexion. giv'es occasion to mistakes, equi-
vogue, intrigue, and intricacy, that on the whole
proved amusing. There was at least liveliness'and
,spirit in the dialogue, if nor much wit and humour.
There were also some smart 'turns, which were el-
feEfive, if not very 'original.
Mrs. GLOVER and. Mrs. MATTOCKS, as well as
Mrs. H. JOHNSTON, exerted themselves very suc-
cessfully in their respeiStive,parts. Mr. BRUNTON
spoke a Prologue; written by the Author of the

Epilogue, writrea by Mr. T.,DIBDIN, with her usual
spirit. . •

The benefit was for the-.joint advantage of- Mrs.

MATTOCKS and Mr., FARLEY; It might be thought:
that au Actress whose talents. have so long been
known. to the Stage, and who has long enjoyed po-
. pularity, might have ventured to take a benefit on
her own account but nothing is more uncer-
tain than 'public fwour; particularly in the theatrical
iir',..)fession—a truth, however,, of which the followers
of THESPIS in general do not seem to be sufficiently
aware, since they are too apt to sacrifice fame arid
profit to, pride and caprice.

Lady CALLENDER gave a grand Masquerade last,
right at her house in Mansfieldstriet. The'whole
interior. of- the }louse was fitted up in-a very tasteful
Manner,, and in the garden was ereded a temporary

not until half past twelve. The supper, which took
phice at two, was of the rarest description.

.The CountesS Of TEMI'Lg gave last night a splendid
Ball and Supper; at her 'pew residence at Whitehall.
The preparations on: -the occasion- Were of the first
elegance : the passage leading-to the ball was hung

temporary ball-toom, between sixty and seventy feet
long, by forty wide.and fifty high ; the interior was
