There are very few treaties, ever since the Peace
of Westphalia, by which. France has not gained.
an accession of territory.
By the Peace of Westphalia (1648), which was
renewed in all subsequent Treaties to: the year
1790, she acquired the sovereignty over the three
Bishopricks of Metz; 'foul, and Verdun, and like-
wise over Alsace.
By the Peace of the Pyrennees (1659), France
retained the County of -Roussillou, arid several
towns in Flanders, Hainault, and Luxemberg„
By the Peace of Aix (1668), she gained the
towns of Charleroi,• Binch, Atli, Douay, Tournay,
Oudenarde, Lisle, Armentieres, Courtray, Ber-
gen, and Veurne. in Flanders and Hainault.
By the Peade of Nimeguen (1678 and 1679),
she acquired Frauche Comte (the County of Bur-
gundy), Valenciennes, Bouchain, Conde, Cam-
, bray, Aire, St. Omer,.. Ypres, Werwick, War-
meton, Poperingen, Bailleul, Mont Cassel, Bavai,
Matibetige (in Flanders and Hainault), and the
City of Freiburg (hi the Breisgau).
immediately atter the Peace of Nimegueii (1680),
France procured Strasburg; Courtray,
and Luxemburg, to be allotted to her by the Chum-
bres 4e Reunion ; but Strasburg and Kehl were re-
stored by the Treaty of liatis bon' (1684).
By the Peace of Ryswici,:, France acquired
Strasburg, but ceded Fort Kehl, Freiburg, Bref-
sach, and Philipsburg, together with what hall
been adjudged to her by the 'Cliatebres- de. Reunion.
Saar, Louis, and Longwy, were all that she retained
of Lorraine.
By the Peace of Utrecht (1713), which terini-
nated the War of the Spanish succession, Franca
lost Meuin, Tournay, Veurne, Fort Knoeqe'and
Ypres ; but, on the other baud, seated the House
of Bourbon on the throne of Spain, and:hY the
Treaty of Baaden (hi Switzerland, 1713); acquir-
ed the fortresi of Landah
• By the Peace of Vienna (1733), she secured the
reversion to Lorraine and Bar.
By the Peace ofAix-la-Chapelle (1738),Fraece
obtained' no accession of 'territory for herself. but
obtained for Don Philip, son-in-law of Louis XV,
the Duchies of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla,
though she was obliged to demolish the fortitica-
tions of Dunkirk.
Bythe Peace of Paris (1762), France ceded Ca-
nada, the Island of Cape Breton, Granada, St.
Vincent, Dominica, and Tobago, to England ;
and Louisiana to Spain.
By the- Peace of Versailles (1783), Franee ob-
tained the right of fortifying Dunkirk; and from
England, the Islands of _Miquelon and St. Pierre,
St. Lucia, Tobago, Pondichery, and the'lsland of
Goree in Africa.
VIENNA.—An unknown person has presented to
his Majesty a service of silver ?late; consisting of
128 pieces, as a patriotic contribution towards the
expences of the State.
Duke Albert, of Saxe Teschen, has given, on
account of his Silesian possessions, 8000 ells of
linen for the use of the artily of the hospitals.
The pupils in the Military Academy of Wiene-
risch Neustadt long since expressed the most
lively imy~tienco to. share immediately hi the
achievements of their brave countrymen. They re-
luctantly submitted to the representation that
they ought to wait till they had acquired their full
'strength. A whole ,class of the
.oldest of these
youths lately agreed to leave the Academy the
first opportunity, and to' make the best of their
way to the Army of Italy. In the night they
contrived to elude the vigilance of their superiors,
stealing off through the Park, in the rear of the
Academy; they crossed the Ley thy, and proceeded
to Hungary. Their departure was discovered early
in, the morning ; the troop of ‘vould-be warriors
was pursued, overtaken, and,. to their _no small
mortification, brought back to tee Acedeiny, there
to await the accomplishment tli their wishes in the
regular way..
• The Berlin Gazelle, of the 8:11 Feb. 1614, con-
tains the following remarkable paragrynli .reo
specting the Negociations
a't'CheitilPn :
" We are assured that Lord Castlereagh has
no instructions to negociate a Peace, and this is
the 'more probable,'. since England has never yet.
acknowledged Napoleon in tue ipielity of Em-
peror, as appears from all the puUlic documents
and state papers. England has; ui,,reoyc'r; openly
and loudly declared, before all Europe, \that she.
will never make. peace with France, so long as
Napoleon shall be at the head of the Go-rern-
Incur. • We think it right • to:submit to our rea-
ders a fact, not_gentraiiy knixn, which is con-
nected with this subject 1806, Napoleon
was earnestly desirous of peace keit!, ; but
the'latter was so shy of Meeting his ovekures,that
the Emperor detertuisied to eequire into the cause.
He appointed the Duke of Otraute (Fouci.6),
then 'Minister, of Police, to conduct this in esti

gation. Fouche undertook the • task, but upon
'the express condition that the Empeeor should
not inquire the names of the persons w:lol,mlie
should employ in the business. 'The Ethperor
promised compliance, and the Minister set ali his
engines in motion. After some' time, he appeared
before the Emperor, and presented to him a cir-
cumstantial statement of the reasons which de-
.. _

tided the English Cabinet not to enter into any
negociations. At this catalogue of
crimes the Emperor was in -the highest-degree in-
censed, and, in his rage, became totally unmind-
ful of his' promise to make no_ inquiries after the
persons•who had becu employed in this affair. He
attempted to force the Minister, by threats, to be-
!tray them ; but Fouchtl was immoveable. leis
dismiSsion front office was the consequence."
TRENT, FEB. 2.—The fall of Venice May be.
considered as near at band. On the 19th ult. there

was an insurrection in that city against the French
garrison, which, however, as the French and

Austrians were yet too tar distant,. succeeded in
quelling it. Forty-eight 'persons, mostly fisher-
men and mariners, who stormed the forto with the
nundst intrepidity, have been shOt., and a 14r
greater nuailler thrown iirnhaius.

Report states that Tuscany will again be taken
possession of for a Prince ot-theficiuse of Austria,
(the Grand Duke of Winzharg), and that tag
POPE willseturn to Rome, .

DUTC' PATER'.

BRUSSELS ,MA'R 24.--]important move-
ments have already taken place on our frontiers.
After the arrival of General Thielmann with the,
troops under his command, .the Duke of Saxe
Weimar, who commands the Allies .in Belginsri2;
has laid down the plan of operations. The Prus-
sian and Saion troops,. from 15 to 20,000 strong,
which were before at Tournay, have marched in
all haste to repair to the neighbon.rhood of Mau-
beauge; this place, which is soon to be rigorously
. attacked, having been already surrounded by de-
tachments froldthe garrison of Mous, The Duke
of SaxeWeimarhas fixed his bead-quarters at Mons,
that be may be able to attend to the siege. 1 ournay
is alreadyoccupied by Prussian and Saxon Jandwehl'
and volunteers. In order to disturb the enemy's line
below Maubeauge, considerable dkachrnents have
appeared before Grit and Philippeville. Mau,
beuge lies on the Sainbre. Its chief strength con-
sists in the entrenched camp which lies near it
and commands it ; but as this camp is not pro-
perly furnished ‘vit!l provisions, -nor sufficiently
armed, and is besides not 'occupied by any eon-
sidera.ble body of troops, it is presumed that the
place cannot bold out long.
Troops are continually passing through this
city to reinfore, the army on the frontiers. Seve-
ral Swedish Officers belonging to the Staff, and
.also some detatchments of cavalry of the same na-
tion,.arrived here yesterday and the day before.
It is reported that the Crown Prince of Sweden
will be here himself in ,a few days.
The appointment of Gen. Murray to be Com-
mander in Chief of the Belgian army, has had the
happieit consequence, Count Craukenbery is on
the point of obtaining permission to raise a regi-
ment of Light Horse. It is pretended that these
troops arc to be taken into English pay.
Count Lotteum is succeeded, as Military Go-
vernor, by Baron Von Horst.
The deputation which went to the Grand head-
quarters returned yesterday eveaing to this city.
lit.txr, MARCH 7.—We hear that the Prussian
troops under Major Von Rieche are to besiege
Venloe. Though these troops are not numerous
enough to lay siege to the place in fr'en, they
will be, hoWever, sufficient to hinder the repeat
ed sallies of the garrison,
_which lately in a sally
towards Horst took a company of the Landwehr
prisoners. We do not yet know the strength of
the corps destined to blockade Wesel.
COLOGNE, MARCH Ifi.;---Ever since the 13th fl
heavy cannonade has been kept up against the
fortress of Jufiers. ,
BREMEN, MARCH 23.—A few days ago the
French made a sally from Haarbure, in which
they burnt to the ground the beautiful village of
Huttfield, 5 miles from Haarhurg.
GENEVA, MARCH 1 1 .—Tranquility is gradually
restored here, and every day our citizens, %silo
had fled -to-the Pays de Vaud, come back to their
Itomes General Bubna has published. several
bulletins announcing advantages over the French
in our neighbourhood. He mentions in oneof them
that ',old Wellington, with 95,000 men, was ad-
vancing on the 23d February on Toulouse. The
French seem to have left the country of Gix. •
GENEVA, MARCH 13.—Fram Pont d'Aia to

considerable.
