• (MONITEUR, DEC. 23.)
ATILAN, Nov. 29.—We learn at this moment
that an Anglo-Russian Squadron, consisting of 12
Ships of War and some Transports, has landed be-

12 and 15,000 men at Naples, on Tuesday,
Ole 20th of November. Immediately after this de-
Ilarkation, his Excellency the Ambassador of His

kajesty the Emperor of the French took down the
4rtas of France, which were placed over the door
of his hotel, and demanded his Passports. The

Nsports were granted him, and the Ambassador

retired to Rome. t Royal Decree has since been
Pablished on this subje& at Naples, the expressions
which convey a just idea of the warmth with
which the Court of Naples has endeavoured to
Valise the Neutrality to be respe&ed.—Private Let-

ter% deserving of credit, assert, that His. Sicilian
kajeSty has engaged to strengthen the Army of the

Anglo:Russians with aconsiderable number of pea-
sants, of whom he had immediately ordered the levy.
These Letters add, that the command of the Na-
Poli-Anglo-Russian Army is given to the Russian
qeneral Likszx (who has resided at Naples`-six or
seven mouths), and that the guard of the City of
Naples is confided to an Etyglish Corps of eighteen
hundred men. We do not know what are the fur-
ther intentions of the Military Corps collefted at
Naples ; but every one knows what success must
await an At my composed of three Nations, foreign
to each other in habits, languages, and evert inte-
rests. In the mean time it is certain, that the Eng-
lish squadron \suffers much from an epidemic mala-
dy, and was obliged, on its departure from Sicily,
to leave there 3,000 sick ; and when it made a de-
barkation at Naples, the Hospitals of that Capital
Were incumbered with Russians and English.

Let us hope, for the happiness of the Neapolitans,
and eve) for that of the Anglo-Russians, that the
Bulletins of the Grand Army will arrive soon enough
%infant. them of the fate reserved for them, should
they dare to oppose their force yo ours. Let us hope
that the Anglo-Russians will hasten to spew them-
selves faithfUl to the first Article of-the Capitulation
proposed to Prince MURAT by the Aid-de-camp of
His Imperial Majesty of all the Russias, and that
they will return to their posts by the way tIY which
they came., . At the same time the intelligence of
the landing at Naples, and of the manner in which
the English and Russians have been received, sug-
gest some refie&ions which it is impossible to sup-
Press. Thus then the Court of Naples has the de-
%Rah lehaslotir of surpassing in perfuly,even the
Cabinet of London. Thus!, 'at the moment when
this Court ratified, at Portici, on the sth of Oetober,
reos, the Treaty of Neutrality which. its Ambassador
had signed at Paris on the 2i st of September* at the

nletnent when it promised (Art. I. of the Treaty) to
rePulse by force every attack made upon the rights.
and duties of its Neutrality., it was resolved not only
ne't to repulse our enemies by force, but even to
LIPPIy from its own subjeks auxiliaries to the
nglish awl Russians against France and Italy. Thus,
at the motnent when this Court promised on its
honour, (Art. 11. of the Treaty) not, to permit any
C011:15 of Troops, appertaining to any Belligerent
Power, to land in or penetrate ate Ind of its territO•
rY, it promised England and Russia to open to theca its
Pcnts, its arsenals, and its hospitals. Thus, at the
l'ooment when this Court engaged (Art. 111. of the
Treaty) not to confide the command of its Armies
csr Places to any Russian. English, or Austrian Of-
-scers, it promised to enlist its peasants under the
Command of the Russian General LASEY, and to
confide to the English the guarding ofits own capital.
Thus, in fine, when the Emperor, of the French and
Xing of Italy, faithful to Art, V. of the Treaty,
withdrew all his Troops from the Neapolitan States,
and gave up the places and military posts of that
Country to Neapolitan Officers, the King of Naples
resolved to remove his own Officers from their places
and military posts, and cause them to be replaced by
_English and Russians. No such infamy and cowar•
dice shall remain unpunished. The indignation of
all nations, the discipline and valour of the French
and Italian Armies, the genius of their August Chief,
shall avenge the present generation fur the mean
perfidy of which the Queen of Naples has given the
dreadful example.—(Extraa from an Italian
Journal)
Murticn, Dxc. g.—We learn that the Archduke
enAamas has taken a position on the Frontiers of
Hungary, which he will preserve till the conclu-
*oll of the negotiations for peace.—(Journal de
Commerce)

, GENOA, Dsc. 9.—The Crews of the Neapolitan
Vey.els detained in- the Port of Genoa, in conse-
•quence of the violation of the Treaty of Neutrality
c;,rnnaitted by the Court of Naples, have presented
4 Petition to his Highness the Arch-Treasurer, re-
ei,uesting the necessary assistance for their subsist-

the violation of the Treaty of .Neutrality. I ordoi,:
the Consul of Naples to give. them such a,,,sit;tance

as circumstances may require. If he refuses, I will
do for them myself what humanity prescribes"
To-day (Dec. 9, ssos), at 1 s in the morning,
his Highness caused the Captains and Masters of the
Neapolitan Ships to be called before him, when he
said, " You have requested assistance from me:
I .bring you liberty. The Emperor of the French
restores to you your Vessels and your Cargoes. Tell
your fellow-citizens, that NAroLEoN the Great is

FROM THE HAMBURGH MAIL.

VIENNA, DEC.lB.—The Emperor NAPOLEON an-
nounced in the Order of the Day of the Army, on
the 14th lust, that he had concluded an Armistice,

and opened negotiations for Peace. His Majesty re-
commends, at same time, to the Army, not to

rely upon this Armistice, until the moment when
Peace shall be in reality signed, but only to consider
It as a moment of repose, and as the means of pre-
paring for new combats. They will profit of this

inter6l, it is stated in the Order, to procure stores

of every description, and to place themselves in an
attitude of attack the tirst moment it may be re-
quired.
It is said that a column of French Troops com-
menced its march the 2 Ist instant, and will evacuate

the country.
BREstAtT, DEC. have at length received
sonic certain. information respeaing the battle of
Austerlitz. Seven Russian Generals were made pri-
soners; amongSt'whom are the Princes REPNIN and
GALLITZIN.. The number of other Russian pri-
soners amounts to 3300. Amongst the killed is
Colonel Vit.t.A.Ror, an Officer of the greatest merit.
The valour with which the Russian Troops, and par.?
ticularly 'the Guards, fought, is proved by_ the filet,
that there remained alive only 250 men of the Horse
GUards, and 400 Uhtans of the Guard.
From Teschen we learn that the Archduke
CHARLES, at the head of a well-disciplined Army, of
fiOM 80 to 90,000 men, is near Oedenbourg, in Hun-
gary. Fits head-quarters were on the 18th at Stein.
It is stated that a part of the Hungarian levy en
passe is already under arms, to the amount of 5 ti,ooo
men, of whom 24,000 are cavalry.
MoNicH,DEC.2I.—The intelligence from Vienna
and from Nicolsburgh is highly favourable, and we
expel} a peace soon. We have already designated
here the different territories which are to fall to the
, lot of our Elettor. Nothing, howtter, is known
Officially respecting this subject.
RATISDON, DEC. 21.—A Courier expeEted from
Berlin by M. LAFORET, and travelling to Munich,
passed through here the day before yesterday in the.
evening, and brought intelligence to the French
nister that his Prussian Majesty had given orders to
such of his troops as had advanced to retrace their
steps. -

_
AUGSBURGIt,. DEC. 23:—The lot of our free and
Imperial City appears to be decided. It has been
announced to the Magistrates, on the part of the
Eleaor of Bavaria, that his Eleaoral Highness is
about to occupy the City with his troops, as welt as
the territory of Eichstadt.
From Munich we learn that the Bavarian Troops
will also occupy several Bishopricks in Suabia, such
as Furstenberg, Tour and Taxis, Metternich, &c.
NUREMBERa, DEC. 93.—The Bavarian Troops
have occupied the City and Territory of Augsburg!).
ft is said that the Eleaor of Bavaria will obtain, by
the Treaty of Peace, a very considerable accession of
Territory, amongst which is mentioned the Southern
Tyrol, a great part Of the Austrian possessions in
Suabia, &c.
Brat.tx, DEc. 28.—Count HAUGWITZ arrived
here the day before yesterday, accompanied by Ma-
jor-General Ds Pt,trut, whom His Excellency met
on the road, and whom he induced, after a short
conversation, to return with him. The result of
.his mission it not known—it appears, however,
Certain, that 'there is no fear of war breaking out.—
' The warlike preparations are nevertheless not yet
countermanded. It is supposed that the Electorate
of Hanover will throw the greatest difficulty in the
way of the negotiations for peace. The Emperor
NAPOLEON received DE HAUGWITZ with the great-
est distinction, and all the propositions which that
Minister made to him, in the name of his Master,
were received by His Imperial Majesty with satis-
faaion and.kindness.
The Grand- Duke CONSTA:sITINE,iS still here. The
stay of this Prince has given birth to several fetes.
BERLIN, DEC: 28.,;-The report that General Von
PFUHL is set Out again for the Fsench head-quarters,
is totally unfounded.
From the several Regiments of Infantry which ar-
rived here within these few days, from their respec-
tive garrisons, only the Regiment of Freskow, from
Dantzig, remains yet behind. The rest have already
marched for their respective places of destiny. The
Regiment of Hussars of Eugen of Wurtenberg is
quartered in the neighbouring villages of Berlin.
The British Brigadier-General CLINTON is arrived
here from Troppan ; Prince SULKOW33CY, from

AUGERZAU is marching toward:this neighbourhood;
the advanced guard arrived to-day near Darmstadt,
and the head-quarters are expeded to-morrow at

neerMayence,whilst others assert, that it will jova the
Army of the North, and march by W -eopha.ft to
Hanover.

lIANA V, Dt c 4.--Severat Estafettot

since observed in the town. The furlough* have

BERttADOTIT., to his itoyal Hightithis the,
Archduke.FEan INA :

firAn-ctuAturEtts, SAttsoseurrs, Dcc. 6.—" I
have been iiit)rined that the troops under the orders
of your Royal Highness, at two o'clock yesterday,
attacked the Bavarian troops commanded by Lieut.-
Gen, lle. WISEDE. This atta-th.,was made contrary
to the Armistice which His Majay,..the Emperor of
the French had granted to His Majesty-the Emperor
of Austria. It was only
.because I relied upon this
Armistice that I suspended my march to Iglau, to
which place I. should have advanced, to support the
Bavarian troops, and to attack those under your
command. I presurne that the Austrian troops were
not at the time informed of the Armistice having
been concluded. It is impossible for any soldier Ns ho
knows his duty to make any other conje&ure. I
therefore request that your Royal Highness will cause
to be set at liberty,: .withity',2,4 hours, all the Bs-
t varian prisoners which were taken in that action.
My request is well fOunded, and I have no doubt
that your Royal Highness will immediately acquiesce
in it. I shall be obliged to your Royal Highness to
transmit your answer to Iglau, where I shall arrive
the day after to-morrow, in the evening.

Gaston, 7an 7, 1806.

The Foreign Journals state, that the Spanish Go-
vernment has ordered fifty new Ships of the Line to
be fitted out immediately. Such an order is easily
given—but when will it be obeyed ?
It is net generally known that the late Mrs.
DUFF, whose death has been the subject of so much
rearet fell a vidim to the bite of a fiwourite dog.—
In fondling with him he merely scratched her fore-
head, and the appearance was so slight, that it was
not thought an objea that required any ettention.—
The animal, however, not long after bit a boy who
was playing with him, and discovered some symp-
toms which excited alarm, and he was therefore se
cured. Excision and the actual cautery was applied
to the boy, who was by these means haenilv saved
from danger.---The dog afterwards exhibited every
symptom of madness, and was destroyed. Unfor-
tunately the melancholy flea was not discovered till
too late to rescue a beautiful and amiable Lady, who
sunk into the grave in the bloom of life, and in
possession of every thing to niake life- pleasant and
endearing.—We should not think it. proper to
mention this affecting circumstance, if it were not
to hold forth a warning to those of the female world
who are fond of such animals, by the lamentable
proof of one striking example.
Yesterday- morning, Itween four and five o'clock,
the inhabitants of London and its vicinity were
aroused from their peaceful slumbers by one of the
most dreadful tornadoes felt for many years. It is
a wonderful coincidence, that scarcely had the body
of Lord Net.soN reached the Admiralty, than a hur-
ricane burst forth, only inferior to the one we are
describing ; and scarcely were his mortal remains de-
posited in the sacred tomb, and the ceremony of hiS
inhumation finally closed, when the elements were a
second time convulsed, and it seemed that the pa:,-
sage of the Hero to immortality was to be as much
distinguished by storms, as the life by which he bad
merited the palm of glory had been by daring enter-
prizes. The rushing of the wind was dreadful, and
threatenedgeneraldestraCtion—fr.boesands arose from
their beds, alarmed at so unusual a visitation—the
thunder growled, and repeated flashes of lightning
added to the awfulness of the scene—the rain, or
rather hail, fell in torrents. The Mail and stage
coaches travelling the rondo were stationary, for the
• affrighted horses were unable to move, and the dri-
vers, equally alarmed, were obliged to alight. Nu-
merous stacks of chimnies and dilapidated houses
were blown down—some of the Vessels in the Ri-
ver were driven from their moorings, and materially
damaged---the Ships in the West India Docks,
sheltered as they are, were much strained by the
violence of the wind.- The lead and copper cover-
ings to the roofs of a nussiber of warehouses were
wrenched off, rolled round, and carried to consi-
derable distances. In St. James's Park there are
two trees broke asunder, the one of ancient growth,
at the bottom of the trunk, 'and the other, a young
tree, and prote6ted by a fence, right in the middle :
a third, too vigorous to bend to the blast, is torn up
by the roots, and the earth scattered around it.—
Some trees were also blown down in Hyde Park.
The neighbourhood of Finsbury-square was for a
few seconds illuminated with a fiery meteor, which
made an awful appearance, and very seriously alarm-
ed many of the inhabitants. These are only the par-
tial etfeas of the tempest, which have come to out
knowledge. We anticipate melancholy accounts
from the Coast, btit hope to Heaven oar fears üby
not be realized.

. Jusncr.-Room, GuttainALL.---Yesterday a young
man, of the name of Harrison, who stood charged on
suspicion of haying stolen two bullocks from King-
ston, in Surrey, a few days' since, and which Were
slaughtered in Fleet-market, underwent a final ex-
amination before the Sitting Alderman., The hides
and-horns of the beasts were produced and sworn to.
The Prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for
trial.---Two men aud'a IA were charged with picking
pockets on Thursday afternoon, on Ludgate-hill and
at, St. Paul's, during the Funeral Procession of the
late Lord NELSON. The two men were committed
for forther'etatnination, and the lad was sent on
board the tender.-

PUDLIC OFFICE, WHITECHAPEL.—Yesterday Ro-
tecca Taylor, a woman of the town,, underwent an
examination; being charged by some women with
cutting and maiming them iti a most dangerous
manner, on Wednesday last, in a tumult in Cathe
rine-wheel-alley, Whiteehapel. .The Prosecutrixes
not wishing to Charge her criminally under Lord El-
lenborough's Aet, She was -committed to prison for
the assault, for want' of sureties, to appear at the
Quarter SeSsions to the charge.
The Quarter Sessions for Westminster' com-
menced on Thursday, -but-did no business until yes-
terday. No case bc any public interest occurred.

On Saturday evening last an affeaing circumstance
took place at the seat of Colonel Rigby, at Mistley ;
the Rev. Matthew Thompson, Re .or of Bradfield
and Mistley, was invited with a party to dine, the
company were informed dinner was ready, and Mr.
T. in 'the a& of rising to walk into t'he dining-room,
fell down and • expired immediately : he has left a
wife and eleven children.

On Christmas Eve an accident, rendered singular
by the pruvidential escape of the person to whom it
happened, occurred at Boston.---An old woman, la.
bouring under the infirmity and inactivity of Itr
years, fell from the garret window of a house down
upon the pavement, and, notwithstanding the great
descent, received no other injury tlian•sotne alight
bruises.
