" Many petfons think that BONAPARTI is sttnsh dr,
fatisfied with the Emperor of Germany and with tie
King of Naples, and that the many French troops
colletled in this country are not merely for a !how. •
According to the bell information, 25,000 French-
men are encamped near Marengo, under Lassie I--
32,000 occupy Lombardy and Mantua, ender Jove-
Dam; hismov commands 12,000 in Piedmont; sad
ST. Cr,. 16,000 in the kingdom of Naples. Round
the coat of Genoa and Tuscany, and in the Papal
Territory are quartered zo,ooo men ; and the regular
Italian troops amount to 15,000. On the other
hand, Auftria has a cordon of troops in Tyrol, and
in the ci-devant Venetian States, fuppofed to amount
to 60,000 men, daily augmented by arrivals of new
corps from the Hereditary States; and the Ruffian
and Englillt forces in the Mediterranean are calcu-
lated upwards of zo,ooo. The vicinity of fo many
and numerous armies caufes alarms and fpeculationa
not favourable to the defines of the withers for peace,
though the general opinion is, that this year will pats
over before any blows are firuck on the Continent."
The Triennial Mufical Feßival to be celebrated
in Birmingham, on the ad, 3d, and 4th of Oftober

mere. Mr. F. CtAIAER will be the leader, and the
whole will be under the diretion of Mr. GIIATON az.
who will prefide at the organ and piano forte. When
to thefe particulars we add, that'the objea of a tic
tival which provides fo exquifite a muficai treat, is to
relieve the embarraffirent of a moll benevotsat and
ufeful inftitution (the General Hofpital etablinsed in
that town) there can be no doubt of its attratiag a
