VIENNA, APRIL 10.

It is remarkable that Murat, though he has com•
menced hostilities, and given our Court notice of it,
by a letter from Ancona of the 27th March, repeats
his offer of acceding to the alliance against BA:vane,
under the considerations which he had previously sub-
mitted to the Congress by his Ministers Campochiuo
and Carioti, as they formerly announced to the Con-
gress on the 28th March. The sudden commence-
ment of hostilities is ascribed to the inconsiderate keat
and precipitation of Murat, who did not wait for the
report of his Ministers upon the proposals which hr
ordered them to lay before the Congress; but, upon
the unfavourable communication made to him by at.
Austrian Courier, who had been dispatched before,
immediately took up arms.

We are therefore curious to see whether Murat will
approve of the Convention concluded by his Plenipo-
tentiaries with the Allies, which seems the more pro-
bable, because, notwithstanding the commencement
of hostilities, these Plenipotentiaries declared, on the
Gth instant, to Prince Metternich, that he would stili
make common cause with the AM.:4 if they would
recognize him as King of NI/ties.
These hostilities with Murat do not cause any great
apprehensions here, his army not being above forty
thousand strong. Our forces are prepared,to give
him a good reception. It is thought in general that
he merely takes his advantage of circumstances, to
compel tlp Allies to recognize him. Prince Eugene
will reside during the war at Daireuth.

BERLIN, APRIL. -15.

Our Papers contain the following Proclamation

14 When, in the time of danger, I called my people I
to arms, to combat for the freedom and independence
of the country, the mass of the youth, glowing with
emulation, thronged round the standards, to bear
with joyful self-denial unusual hardships, and resolved
to brave death itself. Then the best strength of the
people intrepidly joined the ranks of my brave sol-
diers, and my Generals led With me into Wale a host
of heroes, who have shewn themselves worthy of the
name of their fathers, and heirs of their glory.
66. Thus we and our Allies, attendA by victory,
conquered the capital of our enemy, our banners
waved in Paris—Napoleon abdicated his authority
—Liberty was restored to Germany, security to
thrones; and, to the world; the hope of a durable
peace. This hope is vanished—we must again march
to the combat. A perfidious conspiracy has brought
back to France the man who, for ten years together,
brought down upon the world unutterable miseries.
66 The people, confounded, have not been able to
oppose his armed adherents.: though he Itimaseli,
while still at the head of a considerable armed force,
declared his abdication to be a voluntary sacrifice to
tne happiness and repose of Trance ; he now reg:ri ds
this, like every other Convention, as nothing ;. he is
at the head ut perjured soldiers, who desire to render
mar eternal. Europe ii again threatened ; it cannot
.suffer the man.to remain on the throne of France,
who loudly proclaimed universal empire to be the
object of his continually renewed wars, who con-
founded all moral principles by his continued breach
of fahlr, and who can therefore give the world no se-
entity fur his peaceable intentions.
44 Again, therefore, arise to the combat ! trance
itself wants our aid, and all Europe is allied with us.
United with your ancient companions in victory ;. re-
inforced by the accession of new brethren in arms,
you go, brave Prussians, to a just war, with me, with
the Princes of my family, with the Generals who
have led you to victory. The justice of the cause
we defend will ensure us the victory. I have ordered
a general arming, according to my decree of Sep.
tember 8, 1814, which will be executed in all my
dotnihions.

The army w:11 be completed, the volunteer com-

panics of Y.tgers be formei, and the Land&ehr
called together. The youth of the chief classes of
the citizens, From the age of 20 upwards, are at li-
berty to join either the Landwehr first called out, or
the Yager corps of the regular army.
“ Every young man, who has completed his 17th
year, nlay, if possessing the requisite bodily strength,

join the army at his own choice. I publish a parti-
cular regulation on this subject. Concerning the for-
mation of single corps, and of the Land wehr, a notice
will appear in every province, from the Constituted
Anthorities.

" Thus united with all Europe in aro% We again
enter the lists against Napoleon Bonaparte, and his
adherents. Alin then, with GOO for your support,
for the repose of the world, for order, lor morality,
fot your King, and your country. (S;gned)

BERLIN; APRIL 15.

The two eldest sons of the King, the Crown Prince,
and Prince William, and also their cousin Prince
Louis, will make the campaign, and are busy with
the necessary preparations): but they will stop till the
King comes here.
It is noticed as a ♦ery probable circumstance, that
in the formation' of the Prussian atmy in the field,
the garrison of Dresden is taken jab the account.
The fine regiment of Hussars raised by the States
of Pomerania, passed on the 9th through Magde-

burg. At Magdeburg so many young Men have
offered to march against France, that It is StoepOss'i-4
ble to clothe them all immediately.

66 We do not call upon you, beloved Provinces of
the King !—to you no call is necessary. All those
whO had, been allowed to retire have hastened at the
first signal ; they have left wives and children, their

homes, their brides, and their parents, knowing that,
they belong first to their King and country, and.that
at home, the King and his faithful savants will take
care of all that is dear to them.

" The volunteers hasten in crowds, not only the,
youths, but the men ; even 'fathers ofl'.•r themselves,,
at the same time, with all their sons. Neither office,
nor wife, nor child detain them. The boys would
willingly pass for men, that they might be allowed to
take the field. The most respectable women volun.
tarily offer themselves to attend the Hospitals for the
soldiers.

" Well, then, we accept your generous offi:rs—
march against the faithless enemy for )our King and
Country, under the protection of GOD. Wr, who
would willingly go-with you, but by the King's or-
ders, and the office entrusted to us, must stay at
home, will take care of your prop:oy, your m ives,
your children, your aged parents, your bricks, and, it
it should be needful, defend them with arms in our

hands. We shall see you again as deliverers of your
country.—Gon bless you!—Hallrersradt, April 6.

A Proclamation from Lingen complains that a
pact of this province is a shameful exception to t:-.e
zeal strewn in other parts of the Prussian monarchy ;
that bodies of young men, two or three hundred da
number, have fled to Holland, and only the qui'c
aged are left at home. Severe measures :tre conse-
quently ordered.. In Hanover the armaments are
extremely active ; the Hanoverian army in 13rabar.t
will be from 35,000 to 40,000 men.

" There had b en no reinforcement of troops at Cunt berlard

Mr. LABPENT, on the part of the British Govein.
ment, and Mr. KIN.G, (son of Rut•us KING, Esq. of
New York,) have proceeded to Dartmoor Prison, to
investigate the circumstances leading to die late un-
fortunate event at that prison, whereby 67 Americans
were killed and wounded.

Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, which s.-it till about halt-
past three. At the breaking up of the Council, Vis-
count CASTLEREAGH waited upon the PRINCE RE*
GENT at Carlton House, with the result of their deli.
beratioas. At a late hour, on Saturday night, Vis-
count CASTLEREAGH summoned another Meeting of
the Cabinet for yesterday. They met at the same
place at three o'clock, and broke up at a quarter be-

and they walked out together.
The Papers relative to Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK'S
instructions, whilst acting on the coast of ltAly, wrie
on Friday night laid before the Howe of Cominons.
The general substance of these Papers authorises the
British Commander to encourage the efforts of the
Italians to shake of their yoke, and to assist them
with arms, &e. for that purpose ; but not to encou•
rage them to any premature exertion, which pruelen
dal considerations might not justify s he was not to
embody any Italian troops under the pay of Great
Britain.

The Heads of Colleges have determined, that, is
consequence of the fever at Cambridge, it is not expe-
dient that the under-graduates should return to Col-
lege before the 40th of May.
At Lancaster Assizes, a person's liability for the
debts of an apparent wife, was clearly recognised, in
an action brought against the treferier of a very
handsome young woman.

ceeded on a cruize. The POD/11:61:i remains here.
MARGATE, APRIL 22.
The last arrival from Ostend was the Britannica
packet, who came in here yesterday evening in rich:
hours : she brings no news. The Couri:T from Tors.
who landed here on the 17th instant, arrived from
Landon to-day on his return with dispatches for that
capital, and will proceed to Ostend. He embarked
011 board the Union, GRANT.

Our letter from Dover this Incrning states, that
the embarkation 3 of cavalry and inlAntry continue ;
they are all bound for Ostend, and every exertion is
made to get them off the moment the tide serve!:
A detachment of the Royal Artillery Drivers em-
barked ou Saturday at Ramsgate on board seveml
small vessels, and got to sea in the evening tide, intd
stood for Ostend.

A million and a half of ball-cartridges were shippld
on Monday, from the ordnance wharf at Chatham,
for Belgium.
There has been a rumour in town for these two
days, that the Duke of WELLisoroN came over last
week, incog. from Ostend, and had a conferexce with
the PRINCE REGENT and Ministers on Friday
We do not know the fact; but it is universally,c-
ported. He was certainly at Ostend in the beginning
of the week.

By arrivals from Havre at Portsmouth, we learn
that the soldiets there are very discontented ; above
200 had deserted frcim the only regiment of the line in
the place (the 88th)-500 National Guards had been
ordered to Paris, but after going about ten miles they
anew away their arms and dispersed. The whole
gatrison of Havr?, we ate positively assured, does
not exceed MO men—a few guns are mounted, but
the place altogether is by no means prepared for a
sudden attack. The frigate building has been launch-
ed, and is certainly a very line ship of her class--
Having felt the serious effect upon their conimetce,
the inhabitants deprecate Bosaeattre in the severest
manner, nor are they at all reserved in the:: t emu. Li,
but speak most openly.
