VERONA, FEB. 1.-,-This morning his Imperial
Highness the Prince Viceroy reviewed,' in the
squares of this city, all the Royal Guard. A great
concourse of spectators admiral' the fine 'appear-
ance of the different corps of infantry and cavalry.
It is said that on the 3d his Highness will review a
great part of the 'army in the great plain near Ve-
rona. Several movements bavetaken place .among
sonic divisions of the army which have sometimes
changed the distribution of the troops before our
city.

MILAN, FEB. 2.—The last accounts from Padua
and Vicenza-give a melancholy picture of the state
of that department. In addition to all the bur-
thens which the inhabitants have had to bear, they
now have•to dread the spreading of a disease
which rages in the Austrian hospitals, and has
every-appearance of an - epidemic. There are an
immense number of sick in the hospitals from
Udine to Padua and Vicenza.

The last regiments which came from. Dresden
have brought with them the germ of a nervous
fever; which causes tit eadful ravages in these corps;
near GO men die daily in the hospitals at Padua.
MONTAUBAN, FEB. 4.—On the 29th Jana the
Prefect having learnt that the 9th division of the
army of Spain, going post to Paris, would pass
through MOntauban on the .30th, lost no time in
preparing 300 carriages and providing quarl'ers and-
provisions. Though the weather was very bad °and
the time so short, all was procured by the zeal of
the Magistrates and the readiness of the inhabit-
ants, who, though it rained in torrents, tvent out

to meet the troops, and contenled for the honour
of taking them to their houses, and affording them
every assistance. The Prefect had procured 1400

pair of shoes, till-kb he tegvel. t!: c colt rmis to
ae-
r.ept as a mark of the interest which the inhabit-
ants take in their present fatigues, and in the new
dangers which,. they are going to incur to Aletiver
the French territory.. •

The brigade of d,a.agoons of 'General Spaire
passed the next dpy, and was received with the
same attention.

EXTF,ACT OF A LF,TTER TO M. D'LAFOACE, AD-

JUTANT COMMANDANT OFFICER OF THE LE-

GioN OF HONOUR At MONTAUBAN:
" Camp before ;3ayonne, Jan. 28.
"There has heenno' action here since the .13th
of December ; it does not Seem that the English,
have any mind to attack us. They lost such an
'immense number of officers and•soldiers in the last
affair., that they have greatly .abated their- preten--
sions of advancing. They suffer all kinds of pri-
vations; the difficulties which their vessels ex-
perience in approaching the Coast is the cause of
their being often in want of subsistence.
,English deserters, whom 1 yesterday spoke to,
confirmed what I tell you.—Want and distress
make them desert daily. Our army is well pro 7,
vided ;- half of the division works every day at the
advanced posts,of Bayonne between the Nive and
the Adour ; they are in a condition to resist -all
the attacks of the English. These works are
,fur-
nished with excellent and numerous artillery.—
There is not a single Spaniard in the line. '
There are no epidemical.4isorders in any.of
our• hospitals. The Theatre at Bayonne is open
as usual ; some of those inhabitants who►n fear
had caused to remove are returning to their
houses.'

" The right bank of the Adour is` lined with
troops, who protect the navigation for conveying
provisions for the army, and for Bayonne. Our,
conscripts behave extremely well, and, exercising
daily,. wilL in a few months, be equal to old sol-
diers."
[The Paris Journals of the 11th contain an Ad-
dress, which has been posted up in all parts of
Paris, ,in which the Prefect invites the Parisians
to furniih ,by voluntary contributions the articles
'necessary for the temporary military hospitals, to
be established in Paris, telling them that the cori-
sequence of their refusal to fulfil this humane duty
would be, that the wounded soldiers would be
quartered on them, to be provided for at their ex-.
pence. The articies required are 6000 bedsteads,
8000 paillasses, 7000 mattrasess, 6009 bolsters,
18,000 sheets, 8000 quilts; 24;000 shirts, 12,000
caps, linen for bandages. at the rate of a pound
per bed, and lint at the rate of two pounds per bed,
'besides money for the purchase of medicine and
kitchen utensils, which cannot be furnished in
kind.]

• THE ;HAGUE, Fts. g.--The attack upon An-

twerp has failed, owing to the great precaution
which the French took
,to preserve their ship.f..
1 he head-quarters of Sir Thomas Graham, which
were at Merxem, close to Antwerp, were to move
on the 7th to Groot Suudert, which is to be
evacuated by the Saxons. The English thus fall
ba'c'k upon their former line, and are expected to
take up winter-quarters. In the attaA upon the
fleet at _Antwerp, the highest praise is given to
the British artillery; and they say the French,
diiplayed very little ability in their firing, upon
the village. From 800 to 1,000 of 'the Guards
hare landed at Helvoetsluys, and proceeded to
head-quarters. The Duke of. Clarence is gone to
the head-quarters of the Prussians under Gen.
Bulow, which are expected to be at Brussels.
_ Tottow, JAN. 18.—It having been strongly re-
ported that French treasure to au immense amount,,

besides plate, charts, and plans, belonging to the
Empetor Napoleon, were concealed in the fortress
-of Torg,au, Gen. Taucnzien, by whom the place
was'taken by storm, appointed a Committee of
Officers, and others, to investigate a matter of
such importanee: After a strictinvestigation, how-
ever, into the cheSts, books, baggage, and effects
Of the French garrison, there was no vestige fOund
of.any such plate or charts.. The French officers,
and other authorities, were also examined, and-de-
clared upon their hon Our that this false rumourpro-
bably originated in the successive arrival, about the
20th October, of a number of boxes with the words
Tresor Imperial" written upon them. The
most of them; however, were either empty, or the,
small sums which they contained were thrown by
the former Governor, Count Narbonne, into the
principal chest. From the books it.appeared that
the total amount thus collected was 181,084 francs
in specie, and 411,000 francs in bills on Paris:—
How inadequate this sum must have been., even
to. supply the pay and various wants of a mass ofo
troops , then collected there, to the amount of
:30,000-men, it is easy to conceive. In the last
weeks; also, of the siege, the.garrison received
hardly any pay. Upon the whole, the Committee
reported to General Tauenzien, that 'the rumour
was wholly, unfounded.
The situation of the hospitals of th:s garrison,
on its capture; was the most deplorable that can
be conceived. In the coverts of the hospitals were
found waggons laden with dead bodies, which little
care seemed to be taken to bury ; nay, there were
even found 'corpses lying at the entrances half
covered with snow. The atmosphere within the
rooms was so pestilential; from the miserable ob-
reti themselves, and the foulness of the bedding
