MURAT has set his army is motion, but it is repot.
sented, even in his own joaroals, as very disaffected.
His hopeful brother-in law, Becchwcii, formerly tie
waiter to a brothel, has received his Majesty's com-
mands to raise a regiment to kin this army !
dolph, Pistol, Pew and Nynts, of Shakspeareaa ode-
brity, were heroes, when compared to this Bootbiocki.
We need not wonder at the disaffection of *lmp
which serve under such Commanders.

scribe the anxious solicitude of the Kunt to reteltile
all parties and all factions by mild and conciliating

measures ; diversified occasionally, however, by act;
of firni and resolute authority, not breathing the
spirit of despotism, but savouring of the chastisement
of a parent. The suspension of the Annie! tie Perk
for two days, for its impudent fabsicatisms against
Marshal MAcnoNA IX, was an instance of this bind.

In this experienced and tried veteran. we rejoice to
learn that the Kixo finds an able and zealous coad-
jutor in the great work or the moral regeneration of
France, and we presume will shortly bestow a signal
mark of his confidence, by placing him at the head
of the French armies. The writer of a private letter
from Paris thus expresses himself on this subject:
44 The speech of Marshal MAL/son/mu, printed by
order of the Chamber of Peers, has made prodigious
noise, and done great good by the calm refierion and
manly sentiment which it breathes in every line. It
rhas gone further towards quieting whatever nneasi.
ness may have been produced, by some of the
judged discussions in the lower house upon the gees-
tion of the emigrants, than any perste could hive
hoped for in so short a time. The military character
.of the Duke de TARINTS has a steady lustre and
dignity about it, superior perhaps to that of any of
his cotemporaries. He was bred in the ancient Irish
brigade.. His early feelings attached him sincerely to
his Sovereign. His good tarts and high principkt
kept him aloof from faction in the worst and most
dangerous times. His chief command of the mare
in Italy, obtained widsont. the baseness of istrigee,
was a masterpiece of skill. ingenuity, and courage,
against the very superior forces of ellingutraw and
MILLAS stoked. A severe Wound in. the Last greet
battle deprived France for a time of the services of .
this brave soldier. The opinion Funs, that no man
is so fit for the command in chief of an army of
200,000 men, or for the supreme direction of as ex•
tensive and complicated wary but that when brought
into direct contact with the troops in the command
of only a small division, he displays so much of the
has:tear of unbending science, and of the tafferad
of profound knowledge, that his men rather look up
to him with esteem and awe, than with that irope-
'washy of personal attachment, which some Com-
manders less powerfully gifted than MACDONALD are
anxious to inspire into the French soldier, as their
sorest means of ascendancy and success. The sub-
ject of these observations is supposed to combine
many of the higher qualities of MORIAU, with per•
haps a more masculine and daring poise i and his
well-known predilection for that hero, the most mashie
warrior of modern times, exposed him for many
years to the hatred and indirect persecutions of 80.
NAPARTN. ais not MOM than eight and forty.—
His conversation, for the most part grave and instruc-
tive, is often gay and spirited t his repartees, of which •
I hare lately heard some specimens, disdainfully and
provokingly severe." .
But the case of Marshal MACDONALD is not the
only one in which the GOOD, and we hope a few
years experience will enable us to say the GREAT
Louts, has evinced in the selection of objects of his
favour and regard. His MAIINTY also proceeds
slowly and cautiously, but nevertheless securely and
munificently in rewarding all these who were attached
to his cause and person in the days of adversity, oc-
casionally extending his patronage and favour, even
to these who signalised themselves by acts of hums-
•nity to his proscribed and, suffering adherents. On
the list of those thus marked out for promotion, we
observe that of D'Anoneect CONSTANCE, a brave and
honourable man, who nobly refused to execute the
ferocious decree of the
,revolutionary Government,

Ml* 91 dos, Aimee lithe Empire who were here

to reclaim their several rights and privileges, seeing'
that nothing is finished, luvet taken the resolution to
return to their homes. Prussia and Austria support
them: it seems that these Powers have even inter
posed in the quarrel between the Grand Duke of
Baden and the Princes whose territories are shut up
within his states; but although they are fed with
hopes, affsirs of a general interest must first be termi-
nated and then the details will be entered upon.
We are assured, that the States of the second order
on the 7th inst. sent to the Congress a formal and
well argued protest, against every kind,of dismember-
tnent of Saxony. They even insist that there shall
be no attack whatever made on the integrity of any
of the Princes alto compose the'Empire. • This de-
mand is very natir,tl on their part ; it remains to be
seen how all this may be reconciled with the interests
of the higher powers and the general plan.
The King of Prussia is much better, and will be
able to leave his room in a few days.

The King of Sardinia is expected here daily. The
situation of Italy becomes more and more critical.

FUNDY, (ITALY), DECEMBER 4.
The corps de reserve which had been organized at
Naples and Benevento, have been put in motion :
they are 20,600 men strong, without their artillery.
Tomsorrrowthe advanced guard, under General Fi-
langieri, will mak. its entrance into our city. The
'kingdom being in full peace with the maritime powers,
the National Guards will be eficient for the protec-
tion of the coasts, and for theitternal police.
We are assured that the three divisions of Macdo.
said, which had returned to the Abruzzes, have re-
ceived other orders, and they are to push forward. It
seems also that the three divisions of Prince Ca mpana,
which occupy the March of Ancona, have teceived
orders to be in readiness to march.

It is said that the King will set out on the sth of
January : he left Naples on the same day last year,
when he marched to Make war upon France on the
right bank of the Po.
These military movements are very extraordinary, '1
when we are not at war with any person, and when',
the union which exists between the Austrians and us 1
is such that the troops are commanded indifferently
by Generals of both nations.
The army is very discontented at being engaged in
marches which never seem to have any end ; it is
very little disposed to make war ; none but Italian
deierters, a species of mauvaire: sujell, who seek only
*their own advantage andexpect it in disorder, rejoice
at these appearances of war. -
