Letters from Milan of November toh, con-
firm the Intelligence already received relpeeling
the convocation at Lyons of an extraordinary
Confulta, compored of deputies feleiled from the
Public Authorities, and various claffes of citizens
in the Cifalpine Republic. The motives which
. gave rife. to this extraordinary mature are not
mentioned, but as this Affembly will open its Sit-
tings in the courfe of ten or twelve days, the ob-
jed of its convocation xnuft be foon•known, •
We announced fome days ago, op the authority
of a letter received from Autocue, that the.prepa•
rations made for the reception of the Englifh and
French Plenipotentiaries, were to be terminated
this day. This intelligence was more correa than
the premature account of the departure of there
two, Miniders' who indeed did not fet out till
yenerday for the place of their deflination.—Ga-
wile de Fraser.
V num A. Nov. 17.—A piece of important intel-
ligence, in regard to the Pacification of Europe,
is, that Mr. PAGET, the Britifh Ambaffador, has
officially announced to our Court, that his Govern-
ment acknowledges the King of Etruria. It is
added, that Great Britain has alfo acknowledged
the new Republics of Italy : but this intelligence
is not official.
