information from Trieite, tarn;
the Austrians have
declared war against France. The truth of this in-
telligence is said to be confirmed by letters received
here from the Swedish Consul at Seville ; and it is
so generally believed, that more than a dozen of the
passenger's who..had engted to go by the Willsing-
ham, have declined %cling. Indeed, it seems -pry
bible tharsomething has happened to interfere with
the plans Of the French, by their not following up
the advantages they gained in the neighbourhood of
Corunna and Vigo; on the contrary, they are said
to have retreated towards the frbritiers of France;

" The Prench, ,who were in La Mancha, retreat
preCipitately for Madrid, leaving behind them. bag-
gage and a quantity of arms, which. General the
Marquis de Palacea has ordered to be colleaed. A
German Gentleman has'alsO arrived here,. with dis-
patches froms the Supreme Junta ; he states, that
when he left Germany, the Archduke John had
already entered the Tyrol, and that it is, probable,
that at present the Akhduke Charles has entered
Bavaria. He assures us also that in the port of
Trieste there were 130 Sail of Ships for the trans..'
port of troops, which were 'to be convoyed by the
English. This intelligence has animated all, on ac-
count of its imped:ng the treats reinforcements
which the French wished to bring into Spain ; the
enlistment of troops in these Provinces is incessant,
as the manufatltire of all kinds of arms, for the.
purpose of organizing a-fresh a new army, and arm!.

It was then referred to the City Lands Committee
to -rosecute the Petition in Parliament forthwith„
agreeably to the Resolution, anal the Town Clerk
was direded to write to the Lords of the Board of
Track, assuring them that the Conn williminadtate-
ly take into consideratitAi the state of the Market,
~and, by enlarging and better regtilating the same,
remove the evils complained of. The CommisSion
of Sewers was 'staled with the City Seal.

It has been already stated, that the Queen of
PRINIIIA had used alt her influence with the Einpe-
ror.ALexatinea, dUring her visit to the Court of St.
Petersburg!), far the purpoie'of changing the ;recent
political system of the Russian Court ;• and it is
stated that her Majesty. had not been 'altogether un-
successful, since it is asserted that Russia. has posi-
tively determined to take no active part against AUS-
triJ; in any war she may, on the present occasion,
engage in with France.
On. Friday last, after resting one night in Berke-
ley-square, on their vav through town from Corn-
Wall, the remains of -the Hen. Enwaect \VALDE-
t3/1 AVE, who unfortunately perished on board the
Dispatch Transport, were deposited in the family
vault at Navistock. The Earl of WALnEGR VH,
anxious to pay the last tribute of regard rolhe
mory of alamented brother, attended, on the occa-
sion, as Chief Mourner, together with his brother-
in-law, Mr. Alto( LeTtivAtrei•and other friends..-,
It must have been highly gratifying to his Lordship
to have seen a number of. his tenantry voluntarily
came forward to mark Their respect and attachment

Among the recent 'arrivals in England,• i 9 one

nish AMbassader at the. Hague, the recognised re-
presentative of Cn ARLES IV. has been permitted to
leave 'his post, and is come to this country. His
Eiscellency, it appears, refused to recognize 'Don
JOSEPH N APOLIZON as King of Spain, acknowledging
FRRDINAND VII. only as his Sovereign. The per-
mission of any ,person of an Ambassador's rank to
leave a 'country under the authority of France, un-

with the pretences net up by the Usurper.
opaNA.,-.4 new Opera, of the heroic kind,
yens bleneht Gkrward tuat night nt the King's Thea-
tre, under the title of La Cacera rli &rico IV. The
story of this piece is dtari,ved from a French Drama,
- which was very popular a 'few years ago in the higher
circles, when read by TEXIRIA. The music of this
piece was composed by Pocar,and it is more cre-
ditable to his talents than any which he has hitherto
produced in this country. It is rich, scientific,
and interesting. The piece, besides its intrhisi
Worth, bad the merit of introducing Sinus' again
to. the Opera House, and was throughout much
applauded.

of the timely arrival cf fire-engines from all quartets.

breaking fresh ground, at Porthole, in North Hitt,
near Launceston, Cornwall, one of them in sinking
about 29 inches below the surface; struck his.pick-
axe against an earthen vessel, which, on examinat ior,
was found to contain the skeleton of au infant.. The

app*tarance of the, bones, and the smutty outside of
the vessel, indicate that the body hid been burnt
previous,to its concealment ; and the supposition is,
that the murder was perpetrated in order to conceal
