.It is ..natural for BONAPARTE to 'wish to fot-
-tify the situation of his family by matrimonial
alliances in case of his death, an event that
he has reason to believe is every day likely to
happen, but it Is not equally consistent 'with- the
policy of his chara&er to force .such a form of Go-
vernment upon a People as they never knew, and
have always beheld with dislike. It seems indeed that
he has relaxed in 'his views of converting Holland into
a Monarchy in consequence of the general remon-
strances of the people, yet it is suSpeaed that
he has . not relinquished his purpose, but will
endeavour to accomplish it at a more seasonable
period. What must be the consequence ? The King
-9f Holland will-certainly lose his authority, if not
his life, the moment the Emperor of France is no
more. As to the conjugal alliances by which he has
attempted to. secure his family in power after his
-own demise,• little dependence can be placed on
them. The ancient families with which they are
connected must consider them as a race of upstarts,
with whom they have been induced to unite from
fear of ruin?, 'and as soon as the death of BONAPARTE
takes place, an event that must be desirable to all
but the minions of his power, and the panders of
his will, all those ancient fainilies will of course be-
gin to feel the pride of birth, acid long to get rid of
.their Corsican exciessencies.

If BoNTArAkTE- should take his Imperial 'Dame
with him on his intended visit to Brussells, it may
be well for BARRAS to retire from that spot, consi-
dering His f(,:rener Conneelion with the' Lady, lest her
husband should cast " an eye of
,jealousy" on him,
which would most probably be " an eye of death."

ments on the,frontiers of Moldavia and Wallachia.

FROM TILL FRENCH PAPERS.

(FROII THE MONITEUR.)

ViENI.4A, Nts4 the !difficulties which had
occurred between France and Austria, relative to
the Qccupation of the Boccha di Cataro, are now
removed ; the Court of St. Petersburgh having order-
ed-that it should be given up to the French Army,
conformably to the Treaty of Presburgh.
VICNNA, MAY 7.—The'Ambassador from the Su-
blime Porte to the Emperor NAPOLEON, arrived .yes-
terday,in our Capital, and will resume his journey
for Paris on the gth inst.
RAGUSA, !APRIL 13. The Russian General
SINIAVIN, during his stay at Cataro,• solicited the
inhabitar_ts to certify in writing, that it was them-
selves who had invited the Russians ; the Greeks, as
might be expe6ted, complied, but the Catholics re.-
fused. From the condut of this. General, we might
be led to imagine, that what is done in the Black
Sea, aid the Adriatic, is dOne without the knowledge
of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and that it is a
measure of' the Russian Agents themselves, who, as
well in negotiation as in military enterprizes, take
advantage of the distance they may be from the seat
of government to ad according to their caprice.

(VRONI THE JOURNAL DE L'EMPIRE, MAY 18.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 7.—lt ik reported, that
in consequence of a Note transmitted to the REIs
EFFENDI by the French charge' d'Affaires, the Ot-
toman Porte will 'formally concede all the posses-

as forming an integral part of the French EMpire.

been erected fronting the Royal Palace, to celebrate
the happy return to Naples of His Majesty King
SEPH NAPOLEON ; a Guard of Honour, • the Civil
and Military-Authorities, and the Clergy, will meet

soon follow. Several military Corps have been or-
ganized here, both Infantry and Cavalry. The
Corps of Gendarmerie is almost complete.

131tUStELS, MAY, 15.-It is asserted, in a manner
' which appears certain, that his Majesty the Emperor

at the Imperial Palace of Laeken, where every pre-
paration is making for his reception. It is added,
that the Empress and Prince Lotus will accompany
his Majesty.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER .FROM HAMEURGA, MAY 20.

" We all admire here Mr.- 'Ewes • speech respea,
ing Prussia ; it is full' of
.energy : all half Measures.
are good for nothing, and the only good efrea to be,
produced must be produced by vigorous measures.
You have no idea of the consternation that reigns in
Prussia. It is said at .present, that Hanover will be
evacuated in a few weeks, and that :BERNADOTTE
will Again occupy it ;. but this I do not -believe.—
The King of Sweden a&s with great consistency. .
The King of Prussia lately sent Major BRONEKowsKI,
-his Aid-de-Camp,-with a letter to the King of SWer
den, assuring him that he had noshostile intention
against Sweden ; adding, that 'be expe&ed hostile
measures would no longer 'be put in force against
the
.Prussian commerce. His Swedish Majesty re-
plied the same day, that as. soon as Hanover was
evacuated, and the ports open, -to British commerce,
he would put a stop •to those measures. It seems
you are extremely anxious about the King of Swe-
den—Prussia cannot attack him without losing Bay-,
reutli; for 'ars soon as the Prussians march :to Stral- -
sunk the French will' take possession of Bayreuth :.
and as it is not easy to take Stralsund, the King of
Prussia will not venture it. HoWever, Prussia is not
content with the answer of the king of -Sweden.—
I cannot think that Russia will sacrifice Sweden; but
if she does, I hope Old England will support the
brave Monarch with all her power.—Denmark will
maintain her neutrality."

The following faca May be implicitly relied Upon,
and can be attested by every Officer on board Sir
JOHN WARREN'S Squadron :--When the English
force under that gallant Officer had put into St.
Jago, 'after the capture of the Marengq and the
Belle Patric, Admiral LINOIS requested Sir JOHN'S
permission to assemble the French Officers, for the
purpose Of reading to. them. an Imperial Edict,
which he had by !nth for some time, and which
materially affeEted his and their interests. The
English Admiral having accordingly assented to this
demand, with all that urbanity andpolitenesS which
distingukh him, the French Officers were got to,
gether, to the amount' of nearly 70, when the in-
strument in question' was read to them ,by Admiral
limo's. It began by reciting-, that flis Imperial
Majesty, BONAPARTE, having had serious cause of
chagrin and displeasure at the repeated checks and
disasters his Naval Force, had hitherto experienced
in his contest with England, was determined that
it should undergo a thorough reform. Then, lifter
many regulations for the better ordering and con-
cluding. his Navy in time of hostility with other
PowerS, and for the excitement of his Sailors to
heroic deeds, it concluded by stating,, that in fu-
ture all Officers of his
,Navy, whci were captured
by the Enemy, should be from that moment re-
duced to one-fourth of. their aCtual pay. " And
.you, GentleMen,...therefore," continued LINO'S,
with myself, are hereby so reduced; and must shift
as well as we can with the little that remains !" It
is not in words to describe the. agitation And murmurs
which succeeded this communication. - Execra-
tions, " deep not loud," were poured out against the
unfeeling Tyrant who could liais coolly resolve on
embittering the flouts of captivity, by reducing at a
stroke nearly two-thirds of their' whole number to
less than nine-pence a day, and who must heneefor-
ward depend Upon the charity of an enemy for bare
subsistence ! Will this abominable proceeding, when
it shall he knOwn in France, be tolerated ? Will any
gallant spirit. again fight under the tlag-'of such a
cold-blOodect econotnist? All further comment is
unnecessary. The-fad, we repeat, is Strialy true;
and we shall only add, what we can say with pride;
that English generosity has already been applied tp
alleviate the Calamity of these unfortunate Gentle:
men,. not brought upon them for a dereliction of
dlitY •or principle, but" for bravely fighting 'in ;be
c:qic of a Despot ! ! !
