INSPRUCK, JAN. 7.

The Auftrian head-quarters are now breaking
up from this city. We have juft received fome
very difagreeable accounts. Gene:al BRUNE, in
conjunaion with General MACDONALD, has pene-
trated to Verona, and heavily cannonaded that
city for fome hours. The French have alto ad-
vanced beyond Alto, the firft port town of the
Tyrol, and are already at Roveredo.
A French officer who arrived here the day be-
fore yefterday, has affured us, however, that the
Tyrol has nothing to fear from General BIMNE,
as it is fufficiently protefted by the arminice con-
cluded by General MOREAU, which will be punc-
tually obferved.

HAMBURGH, JANUARY at.
The account mentioned in the public papers, that
the Duke del Patel:Lye was proceeding to Peterf-
bursh, as a Minifier from Spain, is void of foun-
dation. He is Rill at Franckfort. Genetal Le-
CLIRC, who is now employed in making peace
between Aufkria and France, is brother-in-law to
the Conful Bo
The following are Tome farther particulars re-
fpeaing the late challenge of Palm to the Poten-
tates of Europe :
A few days before, the young nue of Swaim;
left Peterlburgh, the Evaristo' gave a tournament,
a diverfion of which he is very fond, ani in which
he performed perfonally as combatant, to the
great furprife of his Royal Gueß, and to the
arnnfement of a numerous and brilliant Court. In
the evening, the feftive cup overflowed with ge-
nerous wine, and a difpatch was received from Bo-
P•ItTI, together with feveral caricatures, raid
to be publifhed in England, in which the mighty
Paul, is reprefented as a lunatic. The EINIPAROR
was charmed with the officioufnefs and military
fucceffes of his new Gallic friends ; and the con-
verfation turned on the great projeas formed by
the Northern Confederacy to humble the pride of
the Englifh, and the invincidk trowdi the Est's-
aoa had difplayed all daylong in the tournament.
His Majefty, fired with the fparit of chivalry, im-
mediately refolved to infert the famous paragraph
of defsenee to the Potentates of Europe, in which
be declares himfelf mad at the conclufion. Some
perfons think, that Paw. only &anis madnefs like
Hamlet, and, with a fine fatire, revenges himfelf
on the Sovereigns of Europe for the impudent ca-
ricature publifbed againft him in England, and
fent him by his new Gallic ally.
There are ad vices here from Peteriburgh through
a refpedable private channel, purporting, that the
EMPEROR infills upon the reftotation of the an-
cient Republic of Venice, to which Faamcis 11.
had refufed his content feveral months ago; and
by fo doing has forfeited his alliance with Ruffin.
Palm, in conjundtion with the Kole; of PILUSSIA,
has, fince that, determined to abfolve the Empire
from all its allegiance to the Estraloa during the
•
prefent war and though the Aufirian Monarchy
31 not' immediately deflroyed, yet its preponderat-
ing influence in Germany may be confidered as
completely fuppreffed.
By letters from Stockholm and Copenhagen,
down to the 13th inßant, the armaments Rill con-
tinue in the different ports of thofe countries. The
weather was fo mild at Copenhagen that part of
the fleet, defined for the defence of the Sound, was
almoll fitted out and ready to put into the road.
Sweden intends to fit out only ten chips of the
linelat prefcnt, which will be joined, as early Ni
the feafon permits, by twelve Danifh and twenty-
' Eve Ruffian fail of the line. No !hips of war are
to be Rationed in the Sound, except at Copen-
hagen, where no flip can enter the Baltic without
approaching the batteries within gun-fhot.
The works of the fortrefs of Cronberg are now
completely finifhed, and that place is laid to be in
a atoll excellent Rate of defence.
Private letters from Vienna, of the toth inflant,
confidently Rate, that the preliminaries of peace
between France and Außria are figned, and will
probably be publifhed in a few days.
Letters from Conflantinople' of the t3th ult.
Rate, that the Englifh fleet has not yet arrived
there. but that four frigates, with General Asia-
CIOMBIE'S Adjutants, had reached Rhodes. A
grand attack was to be made upon Egypt, re.
conded by the whole Torkifh navy, under the Cap-
tain Pacha. Central Sir RALPH Assaceossait
vas to land at Jaffa, with about 20,000 men, and
to march afterwards through Damietta
Alexandria, with an European force of near
,000 pkg. Ten anurand men from- tio• I:411
1,-_s were to land at t;sea, suck the f,;gio.o

That wits to make an attack from El Arifch, fo,
that the French in Egypt will be attacked in front,
in the rear, and in flank.
P. S. There are letters from Copenhagen which
arrived here this moment, Dating that great hcipes
are entertained in that capital, of an amieable fet-
dement of all differences with England.

STOCKHOLM, JANUAP.Y 9.
The Royal equipages have been feat from hence
to Grillellhamn to meet his MAi astir, who is foon
expeCted to return to this place.
It is expeaed that Government will permit the
exportation of herrings, of which great numbers
have been taken at Gothenburgh. Orders have
been received for quantities of them, particularly
from England, where an Ad of Parliament allows
the importation of them duty free.

C•PTInt OF THE SPA/1151i FRIGATES AT ZAICELONA.
As far back as the 17th Odober, the Spanifis
Ambaffador, the Chevalier de Hu ERT4 delivered
a Note to the Swedifts High Chancellor,l Baron
EHRIENKSII4, refpeding the violation of the Swe-
difh'flag by tome Englifh Tads, in the capture of
certain Spanifh chips in the road of Barcelona. In
that Note, which demands decifive meafures of
fatisfalion, it is Rated—_ _ _ _

The complaint which bas been made refped-
ing this affair is not intended to rave appearances,
or exhibited proforma, and then to be configned to
oblivion. In it are involved the common intereas
of all the powers in Europe, which, if Sweden were
to (hut her eyes to fuch a crying outrage upon all
the rights of nations, would confider her as refpon-
fible for the misfortunes that might afterwards en-
file from it. Sweden, and the other Northern
Powers, have lately experienced an example of the
bad faith of the nation, whore fubjeds were guilty
of the proceeding at Barcelona ; !ince the nation
in queltion, after Intuiting their flag, fent a fqua-
dron to the entrance of the Baltic to demand fatif-
fiadion for that very infult which fhe had commit-
ted ; thus Mewing to the Northern Powers, that
tao courfe remained for them but to unite, and bend
all their force to compel to return within the bounds
of duty, a State that would facrifice the peace and
tranquillity of all Europe to its own policy."
' To this Note Baron EH aEN Hllll returned an an-
fwer, blaming the negligence of the Spaniards in
defending their own rights, and permitting vio-
lence to be done to neutrals in her ports.—[Our
Readers will recoiled that we inferted it fume time
ago.)
Upon this, the Chevalier de Marrs pretented
the following reply :

so, ttoo.

Sir—l have this moment received from my
Court an anfwer to the difpatches, in which I com-
municated the firft fleps I hid taken with his Sys-
DIS If Mai airy, when I had the honour to prefent
my fir(! Note on the fubjea of the-outrage of which
fit Englifh were guilty in the road of Barcelona.
" The Lao, my mailer, has obferved with re-
gret the coldnefs with which the Swedifh Court
has recessed his complaint, while it has confined
itfelf to feeble aid indecifive meafures, from which
it does not even indulge the hope of any advan-
tage. This view of the matter thews the (mall in-
terefl with which Sweden is prepared to all in the
bufmefs. I. cannot conceal from you, Sir, that
this inaiftivity, which is obferved in the applica-
tions of the Court of Sweden to that of London,
might afford room to believe that this negotiation
will be connected with other objces of private in-
tereft which demand temporifing meafures, incom-
patible with that energy and seal which his CA-
THOLIC VRSTY espefted to fee difplajed by his
A JISTV. in regard to an aftir which,
as it-involves the honour of his flag, would have
afforded him an occafion to prove to Europe the
warm part he takes in the interefts of the maritime
powers, as well as to teftify the value he puts upon
the good underftanding which hitherto has prevail-
ed between the two Couroi. In purfuance of a new
order from my Court, I repeat, and formally in.
lift upon, what I demanded in my laii Note of the
rich October. I fondly flatter myfelf that his
Swanton MAJESTY will adopt far more aelive mea-
fures than the contents of your Note allowed me
to hope. It is not probable that you will expofe
Swedifh (hips to all the feverity of the meafures
which circumftances require to be exercifed againft
fufpeeed veffels, and whole condue might be On-
' Um.' as connived at, unlefs the Swedifh Court
I receives from England the moll ample reparation
refpceing the affair of Barcelona. I hays the ho-
nour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) •
