" Earope had scarcely begun to recover from
its wounds,- 'and- the Powers .tsoildert' at the
Congress of Vienna were employed in laying the
foundations of a long peace, when an unforrseen
event has again summoned all nations already in-
structed by experience of the ambition of a single
man, to take up arms. Amidst this momentary

of Naples, at last throwing, off the mask Avbiela
saved him at a most dangerous period, without
declaration of war, for which he was unable to
assign any just motive, •against the faith of his
treaties w•th Austria, to which alone he owes his
political existence, threatens again with his arr
rules the tranquillity of. this fine Italy ; and not
satisfied with introducing all the plagues of war,
he endeavours every where to light up, under the
pretence of Italian independence, the devastating
fire• of the revolution, which. formerly smoothed
for him the road to pass from .the obscurity of
private life to the splendour of a throne.
" He, whols as much a foreigner to Italy, as
be is new in the rank of Kings, he affects iii-lan-
guage towards the Italians,
,whict) an• Alexander
Farnese,
,an Andrew Doria, or the Great Trivia.,
zio, could scarcely have held towards them ; and
proclaims himself the Chief of the Italian nation,
which has, within itself, Dynasties that have
reigned for ages, and which has seen spring up
in its finest countries that august Family which
paternally governs so many nations. He, King
of the extreme part of Italy, wishes, under spe-
cious ideas of natural limits, to present to. all the
Italians the phantom of, a Kingdom, of which he
cannot even fix the capital precisely, because Na-
ture has fixed, with separate limits, separate Go-
Vernments to the different portions of Italy, and
.has shewn, that it is not extent of territory, num-
ber of population, nor force of arms, but good
laws, die conservation of old habits, and an eco-
nomical administration, which form the happiness
of nations ;
.and hence it is, that in Lombardy
and Tuscany the immortal names of Maria The..
,resa, of Joseph and Leopold,- are still recollected
with sentiments of admiration and gratitude.

" The King of Naples, not satisfied with de*
ceiving the multitude with the dream of independ-
ence, wishes also to lead the most unthinking of
the Italians into error, by persuading them that
the very powers which are already renewing with
admirable promptitude the most formidable arma-
ments by s'ea and land, and who, in a few days,
will give the whole world a nei- ;roof of their
indissoluble union in the' same princiiles, 'haVe a
secret disposition to second his plans as if
governed by him, could call itself independent,
and as the Powell', did not know better than
ever, that there ca'a be. neither peace nor truce
with him who dors not respect his promises, nor
is sensible to the generosity of conquerors.

the 4th. on the side of Modena : the first attack
terminated in favour of the Neapolitans. These
last have, it is said, passed the Po at Ferrara, and
have occupied Padua.
SAME TP.—The report here is, that General
Bianchi haS been surrounded by the Neapolitans,
and chat he lost from 4 to 5000 men, in an affair
upon the Taro. It appears without doubt that
parnialis in the power, of Joachim.

Lord Bentinck was here yesterday ; he is gone to
'antua. lye are wi flout troops, and with Out
intelligence of what passes in the places occupied
by the Neapo!itans.
Joachim has issued a Proclamation, by which
Ire invites ail Italy to arm for its, independence.
He calls the English a great and a liberal nation,
an 4 accuses the Germans of perfidy. •
FLOREKCE, APRIL 3.—On the -30th nit. there
was a slf.irmish at St. Lazare; between the Nea-
politans and Austrians. The latter fell back aban-
doning Aheir bagga!,Te. The Austrians have since
con!inued their • retreat, pursued by General Ca-
rascosa. On the 31st, the King of Naples reach-
ed Forli, and on the Ist inst. be moved his head-
quarters to Faenza. The troops with which the
King of Naples'. arrived at Rimini consisted of
from 33 to 34,000 men. , The Austrians are form-
ing a considerable encampment between Bologna
and Modena.

APRIL s.—Yesterday, after the arrival of' a
rot:Tier, the Grand Duke, our So•vereiu;ri, quitted.
this capital, accompanied by Prince Rospigliosi,
and repaired to Pisa. This morning the following
Proclamation was posted op :
" His Imperial and Royal Highness has given no cause to
any Power to be at • war with him. The Neapolitan troops
are, nevertheless, entering his State;s. His Highness thinks
it hii duty to remove to a distance from these troops,- being
ignorant of the object of their movement, inasmuch as it is
contrary to the formal declarations of their Sovereign. He
intends, however, unless circumstances should render it ne-
cessary, nut to quit his States. Bat, at all events, his High-
ness will find his consolation in the rectitude of his conduct,
in the remembrance of his dear subjects, and in the assurance
that he will live in their hearts during his anmentar) absence.

POI.:T .ST. ESPRIT, APRIL 15.—The Duke of
A ngo.,deme, has just set off for Cette, where he
will he put on boiu•d a Swedish ship:which has
been taken up, for that purpose. General Itadot
acco►upanies him. It was necessary to take ad
manner of precautions to put the life of this
Prince beyond (longer.. The people were indig-
nant at the exactions and vexations of every kinil
committed in. his name, during his ephemeral Go-
verweent in Languedoc.
The Duke D'Angouletue has made an engage-
ment not to return to France, nOr tci approach
within sixty leagues of the frontiers ; also not to
enter into'any machinations against Fiance, and'
to obtain truer the Count de Lille the restitutions
of the diamonds of the Crown. .

AUGSBURG, APRIL 11.—The King of Ba'varia.
arrived at Munich - tyytt . the 9th, and Prince
Cilars on the day before. Prince Eugene Beau-
barnois arrived there the same day from Vienna.
The Prince Royal of Wirtemburgh passed through
this city to-day, on his return from• Vienna.

The Illoniteur of the 19th contains the following
article, under the head of

" We hourly expect the return of-the King to
capital. Various persons attached to his Court-
have already arrived. It maybe easily conceived'
bow impatient we were to obtain from them ac-
curate details of what is passing at Vienna, in the
present extraordinary and unforeseen situation of
Germany : the following information is from the
mouth of one of the most intelligent of these

persons : •
" 1 saw, said be, the Empress Maria Louisa
enjoying the hest health : she. was walking in-the
park at Schoenbrun, with Madame i-lOrati' one of
itcr winnen. 6inee the return of the Emperor to
Paris ‘as known, the crowds of people curious
to see her had increased, and the Vienna public
h;ok pleasure in receiving her with shouts of Live
the Empress of the French!
' " Her sou was lodged in the Palace at Vienna,
in :Tartu-lents which the King of Wurtemherg had
occupied; he had with h.im his governess and
purse. He %vas waited on by a French maitre
d' hotel, a French cook, anti other domestics.—
The Empress went daily to see hint-; atter Which
the visited her father. The Empress's• footmen
still wore their green livery : there was no change
household,.
The Viceroy had been unable to obtain any
thing- from the Congress, as' far as regards him-
self personally; the .Congress, therefore, had sit).

sated the irrealyof l',,,.l2tialk=a, in
ass it had done iii other points: This Prince one
time app'caro ft) he intiniate with the anperoi•
Ale.xandei, but *since the neArs of Napoleon's at-
rival Alexntler has teased to see hint,
telling that political husmcls prevented Him. The
Emperor Alexander appears very warni. He de-
clares on all occasions that lie wished nothing of
the French ; that lie dispised the Bourbons; that
they were a degenerate race ; hut that he-never.
would consent to the Emperor Napoleon's reip-
ing over krance; that his honour was engaged
in it.

It is said, that while thus talking in,com-
patiY; Madame Bagratiou, who was known fur
enmity to Napoleon during his greatness, but
who has since changed, and become one of his
panegyrists, mailing herself of the right which
she arrogates of saying every thing in company,
replied to Alexander, " But, Sire, if you consider
this as an affair of honour with Napoleon, why
don't you acrid him a challenge I.:Judging from his
character, I doubt not he would accept of it, and
then you would have no occasion again to send
Against France armies of 100,000 men, 10,000 Cos-
and trains of artillery." The Princess Ester-
hazy, and many othtr ladies present, applauded this.
Sensible people at Vienna treat it as ridicalous to
March so many armed men, when it is declared,
that one man only'was their object. The very
preparaiions seem to exalt above huinitai,y
Mall meant to be attacked'. "

" Its several banking-houses, have heard it
observed, the Eutperi:r Netpoleon- is returned, -so
much the better. fie knows how to govern, and
has really in view the interest's of the peiTle.' •
'‘‘ It was at first proposed to arrest Prince Eu-
gene, and send bini to the fortress of Camorn ;
but tin; Emperor Alexander opposed this. lie
was asked to -give, his honour that he would not
-serve the Emperor Napoleon, hut he imlignantly
refuSed, and it has been since decided that he
should remain during events, in the castle of
Bayreuth.
It is told of Lord Stewart, one of the Nuglish
Ministers, that on the arrival Of the news of the
Emperor Napoleon's entrance into Paris, hearing
it disputed whether he had a right to violate the
Treaty of the I Ith of April, he—said, " since
-they talked of rights, Napideon had Elwin all on
his side; that no engagement had been :kept
towards him or his family ; that he had repeatedly
made this remark, but to no purpose aad that,-
in point of justice, the matter was balanced.
" Generally speaking, men of generous sonls,
throghOut all G'ermany, are disgusted at the
Declaration of the 13th of March, which has
been circulated with such profusion. The dis-_
tincticm affected to. he drawn bet wren France and
the Emperor Napoleon is deeniel equally mi-
serable,.

" The • appearance of the Court of Vienna,iit
rather gloomy. •
" A Mr. ifontrou, ,who escaped feotn Paris
with iMpottant papers for the Prince of Denevent,
as well as Count Vincent, the Austrian Ambassa-
dor at Paris, eimld not retrain from saying that it
was a great• mistake to suppose Napoleon shut up
in the Thuilierics ; that it was certain the mass of
France was for him, and that, 'millions of men
would rise to support their independence, and the
man of their choice. ,To this were opposed the
hopes of civil war in La Ventl4e, at Toulon, and
and much was expected from the
mission of M. de la Tour llnpitt from Vienna to
the latter place, but sensible people wagered that
on his arrival he would find Napoleon every where
established.

lu .Prussia, as in Germany, there is much
generosity of thinking. They desire, a liberal and
solid constitution; and .those immense, prepara-
tions for war, which are directed only against one
man, appear absurd. This gives the finishing_
blow to Congress, which was already degraded in
the eyes of nations by the ridicuious scenes
which hive passed there fur a year.
" The Poles were-in the most lively indigna-
tion. A strong Polish army, composed of pa,
triots, had been raised by being flattered with. the
hope of restoring Poland ; but that hope was soon
deceived..

" A French emigrant hearing mention made of
the contempt of the Emperor of Russia for the
Bourbons said, " Whitt is your wish,.then, if you
would have neither a legitimate,Sovereign nor an-
other ? Do you wish that anarchy should reign in
France ? or is it true that you wish to impose on
Fra►►ce the Prince Royal.ot Sweden, in order to
re-establish your own nephew in Sweden ? Prom
the moment that there shall be no longerqui..s-
tion of the Bourbons, no perlon will think of
contesting the rights and title of Napoleon : for
myself, I should then decide for the Emperor,
and all the ancient noblesse have the same views.
11 YOU do not wish to support the Bourboui, at
least leave France quiet." _ _

This conversation, which took piace on the
eve of ►uy departure, made the n►akers of sar-
casms, and the titterers of vain decla►nations much.
more circumspect. .

" The English who are at Vienna, and of whom
a great number have been at the island of Elba,
ate generally, in society, very favourable to toe
Emperor. They exclaim with indignation against
the pretensions of the Bourbons on the score of
legitimacy. In that case, they say, the Stuarts
are our legitimate masters.
" For the rest, they have at Vienna false ideas.
of France. They suppose that the Emperor has
no more than 100,000 men, and 20,000 horses.--
They do not di' ute the attachment of the old sol-
diers' who have seen him on the field of battle;
but they reduce his forces by the deduction of all
that he might have to leave in strong.places, on
the Alps, on the coasts ; and they conclude from
thence that he could not present trout Dunkirk to
lluningen more than 60,000 men,' and 20,000
horses.

This calculation sustains their courage ; and
the hope of being G to 1 makes the only prpspeCt
of success in a war into which they wish to preci-
pitate themselves with so much impritdence:
" In tile societies of. 'Vienna I have heard it.
said by men of business,. terrified by the fall of
the ext;hange, " But before we give ourselves up
to armaments so expensive,. would it not be more
natural to propose to Napoleon to ratify the 'lsreaty
of Paris % If be does not ratify it, the wet* at

leasi 'hive lie i 3 willing ~t6

his wife and son, and if he ratifies the Treaty of
Paris, let armaments cease on the one side and
on the other. Europe will be tranquil, and you
will have avoided great.misfot tunes."
" On the 4th of April, in spite of what General
Vincent and M. de ROmbelles had told him, M. de
Metternich was still of opinion that the Emperor
had only the army for hint.
•" As soon as Prince Talleyrand knew that the
Emperor vas at Grenoble, he said among his in-
timates, " All is lost." But his official discourses
wure according to the meaning. of his part, and
he excited to war ! Several Members of the
French Legation, who are more Royalists than
the Bohi•hons: frequently testify by their sarcasms
their dispicasore at the expressions of contempt
witieh escape every moment from the Emperor of
Russia against that family."

lIAMBUIIGII MAIL.

[.RF,CFIVED THIS MORNING.]

VIENNA, APRIL 10.-.lt isrearmkablethatMurat,
though he-has commenced hostilities and gave our
Court notice of it by a letter from Ancona of the
27th March, repeats his offer of acceding to the
alliance against Bormiparte, under the considera-
tions which he' had previously submitted to the
Congress by his MinisterA, Campochioni and Ca
note, as they formerly announced to the Congress
on the '2Bth March. The sudden commencement
of ho,tilities, ascribed to the inconiderate heat
and precipitation-of Murat, who did not wait
for the report of his Miuisters upon the pro-
posals which he ordered them to lay before
the Congress, but upon the .unfavourable com-
munication made to hint by an AUstrian Cott-
ricr, who had been dispatched before, immediately
took tip arms. We are, therefore, curious to see
whether Murat will approve of the Convention

concluded by his Plenivirentiaries with the Allies,
which seems the note probable because; ntit‘vith*-
standing the cominencement of hostilities', these
Plei)ipotentiaries declared, on the 6 h instant, to
Prince Metternich, that he would still make com-
mon cause with the Allies, it they would recognise
him as icing of Naples. •

These hostilities with Murat do not cause any
great apprehensions hoe, his a►my not being
above 40,000 strong. Our troops are prepared
to give him a good reception. It is thought in
general that he 'nerdy takes advantage of cir-
cumstances to compel the Allies to recognize him.

BERLIN, APRIL 15.—Our Papers contain the
following
yItOCLAMATION.

" When in the time of danger I called my peo-
ple to arms, to combat for the freedom and inde-
pendence of the country, the whole MASS of the
youth glowing %vitt) emulation, thronged round
the standards, to bear with joyful self-denial un-
usual hardships, and resolved to brave death it-
self ; then the best strength of the people intre-
pidly joined the ranks of my brave soldidis,"and
my Generals led with, me into battle a host
of heroes who have shewn themselves worthy of
the name of their fathers, and heirs of their glory.
Thus ►ve and our Allies, attended by victory, con-
quered the capital of due enemy—our banners
waved in Paris ; Napoleon abdicated his autho-
rity ; liberty was restored to Germany, security
to thrones, and to time world the hope of a durable
peace. •

i"fhls hope is vanished—we must again march
to the combat. A perfidious conspiracy has
brought hack .to France the man wlio for ten
years together brought down upon the world un-
utterable miseries. The people, confounded, have
not been able to opptne his armed adherents.—
Though be himself, while still at the head of a
considerable armed force, declared his abdication
to be a voluntary sacrifice to the happiness and
repose of France ; he now regards this, like every
other Conve►►tion, as nothing ; is at
-the head of perjured soldiers, who ,desire to
render war eternal.: Europe is again threatened
it cannot suffer the man to remain on the throne
of France, who loudly proclaimed Universal-Em-
pire to be the object of his continually renewed
wars, who confounded all moral principles by his
continued breach of faith, and who ca❑ there-
fore give time world no security for his -peaceable
intentions.
