ally obliged. If the asylum afforded to the French
Royal Family in Flanders during 100 days can
be made a pretence to ask for commercial privi-
leges, what privileges might not England expect,
who fostered and cherished this same family for
20 years, and finallv restored them to the throne
of France ? The absurdity of such a claim upon
such grounds is thus folly exemplified, as is
also the petty malice and extreme ignorance
which put it forth. If the regulation of the
French Government is dictated by sound
Policy in other respects, we see nothing in
It 3 connexion now, or at any past period with
th! kingdom of the Netherlands, which ought to
.Prevent the adoption of the measure. The in-
consistency of the whole complaint could not be
made more apparent than by referring to the de-
Putation to the Minister of the Interior, to re-
quest him " to make reprisals upon France."

Below will be fOund a more detailed account
of the additional articles which are to be made to
the treaty between Austria and Naples for the
evii.ctration of the territory of the latter by the
Imperial troops. The number of men stationed
there was fixed at 33,500, and it has now been
agreed to reduce the number immediately to
5,G00, and a further reduCtion of 3,000 is pro-
Aided for when his SICILIAN MAJESTY shun de-
sire it. These troops have hitherto been paid by
the Sicilian Treasury, and thus Austria has been

!fflibled to keep up a large standing army, and
throw the expt'nce upon another kingdom.

VIENNA, JULY 16.
The Austrian Observer contains, at length, the new Conven-
tion between the Emperor of Austria and the King of the Two
. icilies, for the prohngation of the stay of part of the Austrian
troops in the kingdom of Naples till the end of March; 1827.
The preamble states, that according to the preceding Conven-
joil the number of the Austrian troops in the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies was fixed at 33,500 men, and the evacuation of the
kingdom 'to talcs place by the end of May, 1826; but his Sici-
beal Majesty had considered, on the one hand, that the
numerical strength of the Neapolitan army, and the degree of
PA organization, ‘vill probably render the support of other troops
necessary even after the expiration of the previous Convention,
441, on the other hand, that the consolidation of tranquillity in
the kingdom of the Two Sicilies is so certain, that diminution
(if the auxiliary arhiy may be effsected ; and as the Emperor of
Atlßtria has nothing more at heart than to promote, in concert
vith his allies, every measure that is calculated to accelerate
the entire evacuation of the kingdom of the Two Sicilica by the
Austrian troops, their Majesties have appointed, viz. the PAn_
Iperor -of Austria, Charles Lewis Count. V. &quelmont,
ca' 4e.. and the King of Naples, the Chevalier Lewis
~ e Medice, &e. &c., their Plenipotentiaries to draw up
some additional Articles to the existing Convention. The
. rtrbtiiciilehs,ed.five in number, are the same as have already been
As the state of the finances will not allow his Sid-
4411_,Majesty to be at a greater expence for the occupation than
i'',,e'L by the Convention of 31st Aug. 1824, and as the Austrian
in ought not to be burdened with an additional charge,
an conseauence of the prolongation of the occupation, it is
tfree'l toreduce the troops to 15 000 men, so that the saving
..,
..iereb
of the truing will cover the expence of the longer duration
limy °,ccupation, and if the numerical state of the Neapolitan
c ' 4'1°441 be sufficiently increased to allow the auxiliary
.he kin be be redlced, without endangering the tranquillity of
iesty bgtl°4l, this corps shall, at the desire of his Sicilian Ala-
, shiVbee.ledueed to 12,009 men, and the saving thence arising
• Artz "'the advantage of the treasury of his Sicilian Majesty.

ine Noll Fiht took place at Warwick, on

the disappointment
of the "latent's, and of the owner of the noble
brute. The first were disappointed of their sport,
for the

on either side ; and the second,

The
temper of the noble
animal was in no degree ex-
cited by the attacks of the dogs. He con"
teated himself by merely acting upon the
defensive, and never once attempted to bite,
4r to • put' forth the crashlirewhole of his strength to
dogs let loose upon hint, and after a
shOrt time the ci•ntest was given up.
