PARIS, JvLv 2.

MADRID, MAY 3o.—The Spanish Division,
consisting of five Ships of the Line and a Frigate,
which left Brest some time since, entered Cadiz on

the F3th inst.

Four Ships in the latter Port are preparing to sail,
which some believe are destined for St. Domingo;
but others, with more reason, that they will pro-
ceed to Nap/es, to take on board the Royal Family,
and condud them to Spain.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—His Royal Highness the
DUKE of YORK is expelled here from London, His
Royal Highness will be accompanied by several
English Noblemen. Orders have already been
received at the Prince of Wales Hotel, to pre-
pare apartments for him. The DUKE, after mak-
ing some stay at Brussels, will proceed to Spa.
The HEREDITARY PRINCE Of ORANGE iS also ex.
peded here in a few days. It is thought that the
arrival in our Departments of a great number of
personages of the highest distinction, will coincide
with that of the First Consul.

Acording to the plan for opening a Canal between
Brussels and Charleroy, the Canal will pass close by
our wa!!s, and open / communication between this
Ci%y and the N Sea. By this means, merchant
vessels wii; pass under our ramparts. It is thought
that 15 or zo,ooo men will be employed on it to-
wards the end of the Summer.

RATISBON, JUNE 22.—We learn by private let-
ters, that on the 4th inst. the Negociations at
Paris, respecting the Indemnities, were terminated,
by a Convention concluded and signed by the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs TALLETRAND and the
Ministers of the principal Courts interested.
BERLIN, JUNE Ig.—According to Letters from
Memel, the EMPEROR of RUSSIA has invested the
two Brothers of our Monarch with the Order of St.
Andrew. The Adjutant-General who accompanied
the EMPEROR, is the Count de LIEWEN. Their
PRUSSIAN MAJESTIES will return from Memel by
the way of Warsaw. The departure and arrival of
Couriers are more frequent than ever, particularly
between our Court and those of Lando,/ and Peters-
burgh.

It is in contemplation to form a Camp in the
Country of Grodno ; if it takes place, it will cause
a second interview between our Court and that of
Russia. It is said that the Reigning Empress and
her Sister will be present.
VIENNA, JUNE 19.—Two Criminals were be.
headed the 14th of this month. The first was a
Lawyer, and the other belonged to the Royal Court
of Justice. A third, who was an Officer, has been
condemned to five years hard labour on the Fortifi.

cations.

Official Letters from Hermanstadt and Sernlin,
state, that PAsswAs OGLOU, at the head of 4000
men, had invaded Wallachia. The Hospodar had
fled. The Russian and Austrian Consuls took re-
fuge, the one in Moldavia, and the other in Tran-
s_ylvania. It is hoped, however, that the Rebels
will soon be forced to retire, as a body of about
20,000 Ottoman. Troops, who were assembled near
Constantinople, are about to march against PASSWAN
OGLOU.

Citizen CHAIIISPAGNY has opened a Register here,
for the purpose of receiving the Votes of the French
and Belgians residing in this City, respeding the
prolongation of the Power of the First Consul.

There is one good consequence which will arise
from the establishment of a Legion of Honour in
France, which is, that the FIRST CONSUL will be
able to gratify the insatiate cupidity of the Gene-
rals, hi a manner, that will not cost the French
Nation much money. Under the old system, a
General would have sacrificed his, pay for the dis-
tinftion of wearing the red ribbon. It is the same
with the modern Generals. Their pay cannot keep.
them ; their habits of extravagance prevent it.—
Hence, they are incessantly applying to the Go-
vernment for lucrative preferments. The institu.
tion of this order may therefore be regarded as an
highly useful political institution. The full dress
uniform of a French General, is computed to cost
nearly a fourth of his annual pay.

Much has been said of the abilities of the French
Generals, and no doubt, some of them merit the
highest praise, but the inferior Generals, often gave
strong indications of a total ignorance of their
Profession.—Of this, there is a remarkable instance
in the case of General CHARPENTIER, who fur a
short time had the command of the Army of the
Rhine. He absolutely mistook the River Rhine
for a public Causeway, and ordered a division of
the Army to pass it. When his error was pointed
out by a skilful Officer of Artillery, he very coolly
observed, "No matter, they can pass all the same."
The Troops, however, were beaten, and his Army
completely routed.

The Public, perhaps, are not aware, that before
BONAPARTE was appointed General of the Army
of Italy, he adually filled the situation of a Corn.
missary of the Police at Paris, and when the offer
was made to him of the rank of a General in Chief,
he chose the command of the Italian Army by
preference, on account of the information which
he received from SALICETTI, his friend and coun-
tryman, who having traversed the whole of Italy,
gave him a full account of the position of the
Austrian Army, and the facility with which that
country might be conquered.
