Rhine, shall be ceded to.the Prince of Orange, as

" 2. That the other territories situated on the

FRENCH PAPERS.

rOli,E IGN INTELLIGENCE.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING)

VIENNA, APRIL 3.—(FROM A LETTER)..,-Offi-
cial news is this moment icceived that the Ki.)?g of
Naples has declared for the Allies,- and that a
Neapolitan Arnill of 45,000 men will Immediately
join them against Buonaparte.
'fix High Allies have demanded froM the
French the' delivering up of Buonaparte, and also
a secure guarantee for the future inaititerfaii6e of
peace and order. In case of refusal they will
march their ‘vhole force into France ; Spain and
Portugal have engaged to send SO,OOO men into
the field.

FROM ANOTRER LETTER, 3(1 Arnm.—Last night
Jr.l Lombard, Secretary to the Austrian Lega-
tion at Pat is arrived here. He has brought pro-
posols from Buonaparte, who, whenever he finds
Diplomatic Agents, -makes seemingly peßceable
proposals, which, however, will be no where at-
tended to.

By the Treaty just concluded between Austria
and Bavaria, Sllzburg remains to Bavaria.—
Austria pays to Bavaria three Kreutzer daily per
man, as long as its .troops are in the Bavarian ter-
ritory.

It is said that representations have been made
to the King of Sweden to induce him to give up
Swedish Pomerania, as Denmark has exchanged
that with anotker Power for Lauenburg. Sweden
objects, however, as it is said that Norway was
not ceded, but conquered, and then the Treaty
of Kiel cannot avail. several great Powers have,
however, declared for the execution of the Treaty
of Kiel,

The publication of the abdication of Maria-
Louisa is expected from day to day, but has not
yet taken place.
It was on the /sth of March that the new De-
tnitive Treaty Of Alliance between Austria,
Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain, was signed,
in order to put an end as soon as possible to the
power of the Usurper in France. The Treaty of
Chaumont is taken as the basis.

The number of troops which each of the four
united Powers engages to bring into the field is
fixed at 150,000 men. The Portuguese Minister
has acceded to this treaty without rescue—tile
Spanish Minister reserving the approbation to his
ICITag. The Swedish Minister has sent of his
Curt for instructions. - Denmark has likewise
acceded to this alliance, on condition of-the exe-
cution of the Treaty of Kiel.
The High Allies have agreed in no case to re-
ceive dispatches or proposals limn Buonaparte,
but every where to send back his flags of truce at
the out-posts. The late Viceroy of Italy has,
they say, entered into the service of Russia.

BERLIN, MARCH B.—A courier, -who arrived
here last night from Vienna, brings the important
intelligence, that the Allies hive recognised Mu-
rat as King of Naples, and guaranteed his States
to him, for which he is to unite his whole army
with the Allied troops against Buonaparte.—(See,
Vienna.)

CUXHAVEN, Ana, 9.—Among many ships that
arrrred here yesterday there was one with Ingi-
tives from Calais.—(l.fanzburo lloracn Hall List,
April 11.)
The Exchange between ilamburgh and London
is fallen to 26. 4.

FRI:CEP:ED THIS MORNING.] ,
(From the 3lofiiteur of the 14th Jprit.)

A communication from Bayonne, dated the
6!1) April, announces that that place had declared
for Buonaparte.

Ling, APEtiL JO.—Thetowns of Belguni are
more and more agitated ; at Ghent, although the
Count de Lille is still there, opinions are, tie-
i•ertheless, freely manifested.
PARIS. APRIL 13.—A telegraphic dispatch from
Lyon:, of the 13th April, 1815, addressed by
the Duke of Mbufera to the Minister at War,
contains the following- :

" On the 10th, Avignon and Toulon hoisted
the tri-coloured Tile. Prince of Essling
caused an hundied cannon to be tired at Toulon,
and caused a Proclamation to be published, ex-
Ttre§sina the sentiments of all good Frenchmen fur
the Emperor and their country:' •
VLENNA, APRIL 1.--Our last news, that the
,King of Saxony bad ratified the treaty for the par-
tition of his States, is not ennfirtuo: Ott the.
contrary, the King has declared that he will
assemble a party of the Provincial Estates of
'Sit-Kt-my to consult th;:m. The congress., on the
other hand, has resolve) to put Saxony under a
Provisional Government. The 'Sovereigns him
not yet set Ott from Vienna ; but it is believed
that they will take their departure before the 15th,
The gart 'won of Vienna is to march on the 7th.

Emperor's suite will consist or Prince Met-
ternich, -Adjutant-General Rutschero, the Coun-
cillor• of State Bedtkovitoch, the Councillor of
the Court isleipperg,. his Alajesty's physician
Stift, and 80 oiber py.rsons. The King of Bava-
ria will set out for his capital on the 6th proximo,
and we expect here,. about the 20th, the King
of Saxony.

ANTWEIti', APRIL German-Governments
in these- countries do not exercise the moderation
which circumstances require. M. Sack permits
the' departure of the French post from Brussels;
but he has published a notice, stating, that all
letters for France must be brought open to the
Government Office, and that none comMg from
France are to be delivered without first being
opened. To-morrow the Moniteurs which have ar-
rived are to be distributed. We have received none
of theist since that of the 21st. The other French
Ji;iirnals are put under the same quarantine.—
Those precautions produce the ordinary effect;
the public make news, and all to the advantage of
France. We believe, front good authority,, that
we 'may expect that peace is not to be interrupted.

ROME, MARCH 28.—1 n a Note, dated the 19th
inst. the King of Naples demanded of the Pope'
free passage through the Ecclesiastical States for
two divisions of his troops. This demand was oc-
casioned by the extraordinary and unexpected events
which are now taking place, and which oblig-e the
King to take steps for his own security. Hence the
necessity of augmenting the forces stAtiooed in the
Marches of Ancona. The two divisions are to pass
near Rome without entering the city ; strict dis-
cipline is to be observed, every thing is to be paid
for,- and the Roman Government to be reqpected
in every thing.
Such *as the substance of this note ; the Car-
dinal -Secretary of State, answered it on the 20th,
by a solemn refusal. This answer has been
brought to the King by Prince Tozella, who set
out the same day.

The Pope appeared dieposed not to quit his re-
sidence ; but the influence of his councils has
prevailed. On the 21st the Neapolitans entered
the Roman territories at Terracino.

MILAN, AlAecu 2G.—We experience here the
utmost inquietude about the renewal of war. The
King of Naples has more than 60,000 men ad-
vancing to- the Po ; however, the negociations
with Austria continue. The hostilities, on which
ever side they commence, will produce in Italy
a most disastrous effect, considering the general
disposition towards the existing. Government—
. not the Proclamations of Napoleon issued
at Udina, two days ago % •
