DUTCH .PAPERA

VIENNA, JULY fa. •
The intelligence which we have received here of
the Archduchess Maria Louisa is not very satisfaca
tory. The f itigue of the journey has considerably
weakened her health, which, at her departure, was
• alr'ady in a precarious state. We expect with im-
. patience the nev•s of her arrival at Air. As to her
husband. the Court Gasette, which for a long time
had kept silence respecting him, published, the day
before yesterday, an article in these terms:
• " All the acts which emanate from Napoleon in
Ills island, are drawn up in the name of his Majesty
Napoleon, S,,vereign Lord of the Island of Elba,
signed by him, and countersigned by Gen. Dronet.
This General, who looked on himself as a man dis-
graced, offered himself voluntarily to the Ex Empe-
ei.e, after his abdication, to remain with him during
his life. The Emperor has built at Porto Ferraja an
hospital and an aqueduct, and has planted public
. walks, and is occupied in drawing up a Constitotion
for his subjects. He has announced to themi that it
is his intention to promote amongst them a taste for
the arts and sciences. His guard is composed of
].s(x) men, all French soldiers, who have followed
him of their owe accord. He is all day on horse-
back, and poses a pan of the night at work in his
closet. It is supposed that he 'is writing a history of
his life, and that be .willeave to poitenty confessions.
in which he will develope his conduct and his views,
without dissembling his faults. If he does not suc-
. reed in justifying himself, lie will at least relieve his
conscience from the enormous weight which must
press as it, and his memoirs may mitigate the sen-
tence which will be passed on him_ by posterity."

his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT.

An erroneous report having bees circulated of an
intended repetition of the firew,irks and illotninations
in-St. James's and the Green Park this evening, it is
stated fro& authority, that no such exhibition was
ever intended. _

At a late boar last night we received Paris Papers
of Monday, and this d$ those Ot Tuesday arrived.
In the Chamber of Dputies, the debates on the sub-
ject of the Liberty; of tnePresstontinie ; the speeches
do great honour to the talents, and, above all, to the
moderate and enlightened character of the Deputies:
nothing like acrimony prevails.
~The majority of the
speakers, we observE, take the 'Ovular- aide of the
queltion. In the mini 'French Anirnali these is an
**IAA !tailing the same,.way.: the Noeiteer, how-
ever, gives'the speeches of what may not inaptly be
called the Ministerial party, at greater length than
it does the speeches of the opposition Members.

'We have extracted a Proclamation from Norway,
in which Christian Frederick formally assumes the
stile and title of King. He continues, of course, to bid
defiance to the Swedes.
An article from Madrid states, that the English
Ambassador has taken offence at the intolerant spirit
In which. the recent Proclamation for restoring the
Inquisition is dictated.
In the mean time the States of Italy are filling
with Spanish refugee's, and among' them we observe
names of no mean estimation in their own country.
CHARM IV. it will be recollected, is still at Rome.
The Duke de Beani is stated, in the French Papers,
to be the bearer of an invitation to the PRINCE Re-
altor to be present at the ensuing Coronation of
Lours XVIII. at Paris.

VANDANISIE, BONAPARTE'S favourite General, has
hired a vessel at Memel to convey him to France.
lies journey overland would have probably been at-
tended with a few inconveniences : his memory is no
doubt cherished in every town which he ever visited.
This celebrated military character will probably be
taken into the pay of the Americans ; for we learn by
the Boston Papers now befcre us, that the French
General HUMBERT, who commanded the. expedition
to Ireland a few years ago, had been taken into MA-
DISON'S pay.

.15y the directions of this worthy representative of
BONAPARTE across the Atlantic, 1-I.c,muLiir proceeded
towards South America, to command the Insurgents
-against the lawful Government there, by way of a''
diversion, we suppose, in favour of the good cause
which MADISON is now advocating single-handed.
Husinrirr died, however, at New Orleans, in May
last, before entering upon his functions as Deputy
Agitator. His death, of course, makes room for
VANDAPSII4 DAVOIUST, or some such hero, who is
out of employment.—The subj.)ined extracts are from
the Paris Paper: of Tuesday :
GOTTENBURGH, JULY 1&

We have received the following official Article :
PROCLAMATION OP HIS MAJESTY KING CHRISTIAN FRE-
DERICK, ON HIS COMING TO THE THRONE.

" We, Christian Frederick, by the Grace of GOD,
and the Constitutions of the Kingdom, King of Nor-
way, Prince of Denmark, Duke of Holstein and 01-
denburgh, hereby make known that we have been
called to the Throne of Norway by the Constitutional
Act of the 17th May, 1814, the day on which it was
.signed by the Diet ; that we have accepted the Crown,
and have taken the oath to govern the Kingdom of
Norway, conformably to the laws.
" The principles which have hitherto directed our
actiosis will guide us always in the path of honour and

virtue. The happiness of the people will always be
the object of our exertions ; our first desire is to main-
tain peace with all Nations; our first duty is to main•
lain the independence and liberty of Norway t and
we hope that the SUPREME BEING will aid us in fulfil.
ling these sacred engagements.
We shall take especial care to acquire the love
and esteem of all honourable persona.

Given at Eidavelt. signed with our name. and
szaled with the seal of the Kingdom.

(Signed)

" CHRISTIAN FREDERICK."

RLY 22.—Saturday last we heard A strong canno-
nade in the vicinity of Interswad, which lasted from
ten o'clock in the morning until night. We suppose
that it must have been an Attack made on the islands
near which the Norwegian flotilla is moored, since
we know that last Wednesday and Thursday troops
were embarked at Strumstadt for this expedition.
From Udewalla, we learn. that Mr. Foster and the
other Commissioners were to leave that place at five
o'clock this morning, to return to Norway.

The Prince Royal of Sweden was to COMMIXe
hostilities on the 28th.
ROME, JULY M.

When the French took possession of the Papal
States, 411 Ecclesiastics were required to take an oath
of fidelity to the Empire and its Constitution. Of
'ix thousand Priests, eight hundred refused this oath,
becauie the Pope, in a letter to the Bishops, had pro.
khibiied the recognition of aoy sovereign but himself.
These Ecclesiastics having been transported to P.trma
and to Placentia, at the time of the conferences at
Savenna, part of tkem thought it their duty to take
the oath and to return to Rome,- and the rest were
directed to COrsica and to Alexandria, where the
French Government allowed them pensions of 5tX)
francs annually. The benefices of these Ecclesias-
tics, had been kept vacant, because, at the moment
of their submission, they were entitled to resume
possession. The Pope has ordered the restoration of
the whole of there Priests, and pronounced an am-
besty upon the others. His Holiness has declared,
that he recognizes his Clergy as the children of one
family.

The troops of the Emperor of Austria still occupy
the Castle of St. Angelo. We hope that they will
speedily retire, and leave us free from all foreign do.
