Letters from the South of Europe, received this
morning, state, that MURAT hag exchanged his
Kingdom for a Dukedom in Carinthia, with
1100,000.—Let us hope that this intelligence will
soon be confirmed.

French• Papers to the 27th inst. hive arrived since
Saturday. They announce the important fact .of
BONAPARTE'S departure for the Army : this event took
place on the 25th, and, as a proof of the confidence

entertained by the Pdrislans in the successs of his
exertions for the recovery of his power, the Funds in-
stantly felt from 46i to 48 and a fraction. Another
still more portentous event preceded his departure : a
Decree was promulgated suspending the law fixing
the rate of interest, and permitting borrowers and
Tenders to form any arrangements in this respect they
please •
It is evi'dent, that the shattered remains of the
Fretzh armies are concentrating, probably in the
vicinity of Chalons-sur-Marne, where, as we have
already hinted, the Allies expect to give them battle.
We find that MACDONALD, joined by healsoir and
SEBASTIA.NI, is on his way towards the same point:
he will proceed along the Sambre and the Meuse. If
we are to believe his Proclaization; issued at Maes-
tricht, his army is likely to be•rnost formidable, in
point of numbers at least. We apprehend, however,
, that the 100,000 troops of the line, and the 200,000
national guards, with whom he threatens to over-
whelm the Allies, are not yet forthcoming at his
command.

MORTIER is said to have had a successful affair with
the enemy near Langres ; and AUGEREAU seems to
be stationed in the vicinity of Lyons, which 'the
Austrians had not reached. They were, however,
within five or six miles of it. On she side of Savoy
Generals LAROCRE.and DessAtx. are said to be em-
ployed. SOULT is described as having between 90
and 100,000 men under his command, and is full of
confidence.

Our Readers will see that there-is a vagueness and
studied concealment in all the French statements
which betray agreat watt of confidence in the re-
sources which have been collected to repel the inva-
sion ; and here it may not be amiss to caution our
•
fellow-countrymen against taking-up too hastily im-
plosions unfavourable to the ultimate success of the
Allied Cause, froin the events which will -infallibly

r. That he will select. his field of operations in a
quarter where he is most likely to gain a temporary
advantage, cannot be doubted—a slight skirmish with
the advanced troops, ofany part of the Allied forces,
will be magnified into a deci4ve victory, and an at-
tempt will thus be made to excite a popular feeling
In his favour, for of thissgrand engine, in repelling the
present invasion of France, he is evidently much
in want. -
We see nothing its the " sublime and affecting pic-
ture" of the parting scene between the Empress and
the King of ROME and BONAPARTE, as described in
the Preach Paperi, to shake our conviction that the-
war, which BONAPARTE is now waging. against the
Allies is a popular war.
In BONAPARTE'S farewell Speech he is said to have
spoken with a " tremaou."voice. We can well be-
iilieve it. It must have been nearly inaudible, when
.fse was forced to allude to the Cosacks. "If in the
grantmanoeuvres which are prepariqg" (every thing
is still grand with him) " some hordes of light troops.
41are to insult the barriers, I am sure the inhabitants
will'not forget that their Sovereign has conferred its
defence to them."
The " tremulous sensibility" in which he takes his
!departure from Paris is of a piece with the magnani-
mous silence in which he prepared for it—he is evi-
`dandy-heartless. The moody tyrant of SHAKESPEARE
was sevti half so reckless of his fate :
. “ Thou sound and him sec earth •
.
lieu net my steps,.which waythey walk, for fear
Thy very stones prate of my whereabout,
; And take the present. horror from the time
Which now suits with WI

We have also received a supply of Dutch Papers
to-the 26t1). They state, among other important facts,
chat Wittenberg has at length surrendered. Thief
event places another small army at the disposal of the
Allies, for tht prosecution of ulterior objects. The
fall of Magdeburgh will probably be the next event
ip, the war upon the Elbe. The inhabitants of Ham-
burgh are not yet freed from their invaders: •

Colonel MASTERS arrived at the Secretary of State's
Office, Earl BATHURST'S, with Dispatches from Lord
WILLINGTON. No new event had taken, place. The
French armies undet Boum. and Sucuzi were greatly
superior to those of the Allies, and MaNA had been
obliged to fall back. Colonel M4STMI returns to
England on his promotion.

THE YA'UItBON Pltmat,. •

Such was the highly commendable secrecy with
which these distinguished" Personages made the
ar-
rangemetits for their departure, 'that teveral inatett-
racies have crept into the public prints on the sub-
ject of their destination. We can no* state with
confidence, that the only French-Prince who is gone
direct France is the Duc D'Asciout.chez; he is by
this time with Lord 'WELLINGTON. The Duke de
Bantu is gone, not to Holland, bet to Jersey, where
it it reported a small British squadron will be at-his
disposal, to carry him to any part of the French coast
'where the presence of his Royal Highness may be
wanted. That there is a strong disposition towards
the restoration of the Bourbons thrpuglzout the whole
of Normandy has been long since placed beyond
doubt by positive and direct communications from
the.inhalsitants. The British authorities in Guernsey
itnd Jersey have repeatedly made representations on
this subject to the British Ministry.
His Royal Highness MONSIEUR goes to Switzer-
land, with the view of raising a small army, or rather
some battalions of Swiss Guards.
While on this subject, we can now state, upon
authority little short of official, that the Austrian
General Count Bustcts:suddenly changed his route
(which was at-first-di:tiled for Dole and Dijon) to-
wards Lyon-s, upon -a deputation being sent from
that city, to supplicate the assistance of the Allies to
enable them
to throw f the yoke of BONAPARTE'S Go-
vernment. They have engaged, it is understogd, to
proclaim Louis XVIII. the instant. they receive
assurance from the Emperor ALEXANDER (and this
Sovereign is individually appealed to by the Lyonese)
that he will not abandon them, whatever may be the
result of the struggle' for their ancient rights.
These sentiments were communicated by General
Bonsa to the Allied Sovereigns; but they declined
giving any pledge until the arrival 4 Lord CASTLE-
REACH. In the mean time, they directed General
BUENA .to advance upon Lyous ; and the departure
of the French firirice's from London was hastened by
'the communications to which we have just alluded.
From the vicinity of Lord WELLINGTON'S present
head-quarters to Lyons, it is most probable that the
Duc d'Aticota.Eme will be the first Prince of the
House of Bout bon who will hoist. the standard of'his
forefathers in France.

We trust that ALEXANDER the DELIVERER and
-WELLINGTON the LNyiNcisLe will be present at this
most gratifying and and animating scene. Lyons
has suffered more than any other city in France for
its attachment to its legitimate Sovereigni. Strangt.
infatuation I- (we think we hear some Jacobin ex-
claim) will she.Lyonese be ,the first to restore the
farpily which has caused them so much misery ?

DEITEOTION OF MURAT.—+( KING OF NAPLEII•-
This event was very confidently stated on Satur ay,
upon the alleged authority of letters from Naples of
the 6th instant. The difference between MURAT and
NAPOLEON has long been matter of notoriety.— It is
stated to have originated in an expressed determina-
tion of the latter to unite Naples to the French Em-
pire, and to indemnify his kinsman with territory in
Poland. The proposal being received with dissoitis-
faction, the execution was not pressed ; but an ins.'
pression was left upon the mind of MURAT, that he
should some time or other be sacrifice, which the
subsequent tyrannical, capricious, and violent con-
duct of BQNAPARTE was calculated to confirm. The
seeds of dissatisfaction thus sown took deep root,
and were matured by the disasters of the campaign
in Russia, followed by the reproof in cme of the lin-
petial Bulletins. Since his return to his capital, ad.
vices from Sicily informed us, that he had, by means
-af flags of tru=e, opened a communication with Lord
BENTINCK, who had sailed from the island in a
74-gun ship, without the destination bells known.—
The letters said to have been received on Saturday
state, that his Lordship proceeded by appointment,
to the Bay of Naples, which be entered. The result
of this visit was a negociation for a Treaty of Peace
and Alliance between King JOACHIM and the Allied
Powers, which received the signature of the respec-
tive Plenipotentiaries on the sth inst. MURAT pre-
serves bis kingdom upon condition of co-operating
with the Allies.
COVENT GARDEN THF.ATRIL—The Tragic Play of
Pizarro was perform*d on Saturday evening. Mr.
KEMBLE sustained the part of Rolla exquisitely well ;
his noble and commanding figure—the grace andel.-
gance of his action—the acute discrimination with
which he delivered the tent, accompanying it with
that corresponding alteration of features, which im-
mediately expresses the passion intended to be repre-
sented—most fully met the idea which the mind forms
of the magnanimous Chieftain. The prison-scene,
the interview with Pizarro, and the concluding scene, in
which he vainly endeavouri to persuade the Sfranirlt
Leader, to deliver up .dlosszo': child, were full of deli-
cate feeling and unaffected dignity. Mrs. M,GutsoN
supported the character of tivira with correctness
and propriety.—The rest of the characters were well
sustained by the respective petforteers.
