ITALY.

The Official Paper of Milan of the Q Ist of OEto-
ber, contains'two Decrees, dated Sclioenbruno, 14
Odober. The first is as follows:

" NAPOLEON, by the grace of God and the Con-
stitution; Emperor of the French, King of Italy,
and Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine ; we
have decreed and do decree as follows :

of Istria, formerly Austrian, the Provinces of Fiunte,,
and. Trieste; the countries known by the name of the
Littorale, the part of, Croatia, and all that has been
ceded t 6 us on the right bank of the Save; Dalma-
tia, and its islands, shall hereafter bear the• name of
the Illyrian Provinces."
The substance of ,the second Decree is, " the
Counsellor of State-DAOO-nr, is appointed Intent.
dant-general of the Illyrian Provinces ceded- to us
by the Treaty of Vienna." •
Another Decree, of the tOth ofoaober, direas,
that the kingdom of Italy shall be
.divided intb six.
-military divisions. The first will consist Of the de-
partments Agogna, Rona, Lario, and Adda, and the
head-quarters.' Will be at Milan ; the second of the

cona ; the sixth of the departments of tire Bocchi-
glione, - Brenie, Piave, 'Tagliamento, Adriatic Sea,

MUNICH, Ocr. 21.--The most -satisfactory intel-
, ligence bas- .been received, from the two Bavarian
divisiuns which had orders-to enter. the circle of the
hero. The first division,
.commanded by his Royal
Highness r the Hereditary Prince, entered Loper or
the 17th in the 'afternoon. It had preitiously
had an atiair, in which the rebels lost about.
300 men killed 'and wounded, 400' prisonerS, twq
pieces of -heavy artillery, and sornetaiison.s. SPECK.±
:one of their principal Chiefs, is amonk'the
slain'. The ,prisoners ..asserted; that they had been
• forced to take part in the hisUrreClion. The prottp-
' . mode with which the Inshrgents were attacked at
once on several points, was the caoSe .that the
sion had onlylvl3 men' missing, and six wounded,.
The troops di.tingaished thernielies 'not More by
-their tburage than by their discipline.
At the same time, the second division, cnna-
,manded by Lieut.-General Witapz, marched upon
Kessin, where the head-quarters were estalkshed
on the 17th. Had it not been for the bad StAt
roads, it would have entered St. John on the...same
day. When the advanced guard left Reiterwinkle,
the rebels Made a discharge at 1500 paces *distance.
from their entrenchments upon - the •Schtnidiberg
and Rlatisberg,, and then took, to flight so pre-
cipitately, that our advanced guard could not over-,
take• them. :The insurgents endeavoured to take
the 11ridge of Attren, but were . prevented.—
' The troops of . the second division distinguished
themselves equally by their, valour and their dis-
cipline.' We expea 'the reports of the 3d division'
which advanced by Kufstein.— (Leyden Gazette,
oa, 3 i .)

POLICE.

The account that we-gave of the earlier anti 111',5t
outrageous excesses which prevailed in: this Theatre
since it first opened, may be referred to as a faithful
description of.what passed last night. Tt:e riav it -
tended for representation was Othello, and the en-
tertainment The Blind -Boy. Very Ito le 'of the for-
mer, however, could be heard, as the turhulerce
broke forth very soon after the drawing up of the
curtw, and nothing of the latter piece. There was
a .numerous" audience from the hgioning, and
among them many Ladies, and a great prons,rtion
of respeaable men. -But the..persons who came to
interrupt •the performance carned-all be :,;re thew,
by every species of eproar,that could'bc invented.—
Horns, .rattles-, trumpets, -apd-all .the insquCrients
that had been previously in.use, wgre •rpost actively
employed last night. The. mingled roar of. voices,
and the din of. these various: instruments, ,procfuced
a more disgusting riled than-can be. imagined, by
those .who. have not witnessed these outrageous
scenes. A large Placard, if it may be so called, in
the form of a shield,- was held forth, quartered like
a coat of arms, representing horns and rattles;, and
the letters 0. P. In the. centre there was speci-
ous attempt to cover riot. under the mask of boy ,!v,
exhibiting the words, Public, Rights and Loyalty."
On another of these Placards was

Thus, not only an attempt is made to drive a re-
spectable family off- the Stage; but also a' zealous
servant 'of theTtreatre, who•baS faithfolly exeihned
his dUty for upwards of forty years, and whose only

ployers.,—" Vidory and Old prices,- were inscribed
