MUNICH, DECEMBER M.
The return of our King appears again indefinitely
postponed: the treaty of alliance which be has just
signed with Austria is assigned as the reason of this.
In consequence of orders which the King has just sent
from Vienna, and which will be insmediately executed,
the disposable part of the Bavarian army, namely, the
four divisions which made the campaign in France,
and which are still on the war footing, will be consi.
derably reinforced by the incorporation of a part of
the reserves.
These measures are calculated to augment the Ba-
varian army, cantoned on the left bank of the Rhine,
in Franconia and Bavaria, by from 15 to 20,0(X)
men ; its total amount will then be from 50 to 60,000.

BOLOGNA, DECEMBER 21.
Our city continues in a ferment. The people seem
to grumble without object, and to be agitated without
any precise motive. 'l'hie state of things, which is in-
fluenced by the uncertainty as to the decisions of the
Congress, is a very disagreeable one, and paralyses
Commerce.

A private letter from Leghorn, 2d December, has
the following passage
" I suppose you know that we have had here for a
fortnight or three weeks the Duke and Duchess of
BEDFORD, who were confined in the Lazaretto, where
they were obliged to perform quarantine : they were
liberated last week, and nest day they set out for
Florence. Ere this you will have heard something
relative to NAPOLEON'S going to the island of St. He-
lena ; it is reported here very currently indeed. To-
' day I learn that some ordnance has arrived from
Porto Ferrajo to be sold prior to his departure."
