FOREIGN I.v7V,LIGENCE.

PARTS, OCTOBER s.

The Yeurnal de l'Empire.contaius the following ar-
ticle, under date Altona, Sept. as :
44 We are alTuted that the negotiation between
France and Denmark has been brought to a conclu-
, lion, and Out a treaty of alliance offenfive and de•

fenfive has been entered into and ratified by the re•
(maitre Sovereign:. In eJnfequence of this treaty,
so,ooo French troops, under the command of the
Prince of Ponte Corio, will immediately enter the
provinces of Denmark, and be incorporated with
the Daniflt troops under the Crown fliince. They
will then undertake a grand expedition, the objee of
which is avowed to be the expulfion of the Englith
from Copenhagen, and relcue the plunder they have
obtained.
" At all events they will certainly be driven from
. the Continent, or at leaft forced to retire to the only
corner of it which they can remain in, as the French

. will prefs them to the farthell end of Scandinavia. It
Ja laid tha► by one of the articles of this treaty, the
.King of Denmark acquires the powerful guarantee
• pf the Emperor of the French that all his poffetfions
fitsaU be reltored to him.
64 Hodes have already been taken in Rendfburgh
for the Prince of Ponte Corvo and his fieite. The
fame that this Prince has acquired by his c'oadua in
Hanover, has gained him the confidence of the
Danes, who all tally the molt determined Irstred
towards the Englith.. Indeed all alarm amongft us
(the Danes) mutt ceafe on hearing the determination
of the French to refeue us. Our new alliance with
France, and our late treaty with Ruffia, mutt fill us
, with confidence.
, '44 We know, that a few days before the arrival of
Admiral Gambier's fleet, the Ruffian Envoy to our
Crown Prince, M. Von Lifakewitz, allured him in
the name of the Ruffian Emperor, that he had made
a pottive declaration to the Britifh Government,
that he would refped the neutrality of Denmark.—
The honour of the Emperor Alexander is therefore
, pledged in our favour, and will be fcrupuloufly fut.
. Ailed."

ocroara 16.
According to the documents which arrive from all
quarters, it appears that the Court of Portugal has
yielded to the perfidious fuggellions of the Britifh
Government. If letters from Bayonne may be cre-
dited, the Prince Regent has embarked for the Bra-
zils, with his (on and all his Court, on board a fqua.
. drop of thirteen (hips of the line. A.nd that no doubt
Mould remain, as to the nature of this extraordinary
. determination, an Englith fleet, it isfaid, has entered
the .Tagus.
. The journal der 1 andes, which confirms this intel-
ligence, adds, that the French and Spann
Ambaf-
fadors have quitted Lifbon, and that the Army of
Obfervation, near Bayonne, was on its match for
Portugal.
The report of the departure of the Fortuguefe
Envoy from this city is in general-circulation.
This new attempt to light up the Hanle of difcord
on the Continent was intended long fince. Left year
Lord Rofslyn prefented hinifelf,•with an Englifh
fquadron, at the mouth of the Tagus ; but the fame
meafere, then propoted by him, was defeated by the
firmnefs and forefight of M. d'Aranjo. This Mini.
(ter has fallen into difgrace, after having in vain at-
tempted to enlighten his Sovereign with reps& to
the intrigues of the Englifh cation, who have long
fince endeavoured to arm the Prince of the Brazils
a'aintt his brother in law, the King of Spain, and
Walled to tile the Portuguele name to ditturb South
America.
'lhe fit ft reprefentation of the Triumph. of 7r4an is

Fthere have been no Englifh (hips whatever

IMPLU, SEPTEMBER *4. •

As a large body .of French troops are on their way
tq galabrja, the expedition to Sicily is fuppofed to be
it hand. :I N,:t
SZTUMBIII sp—tly letters from Sicily we learn,
that the hqfpitas of Mel Tina are full of wounded
Engin that were brought there from Egypt, where
the forces are confiderably diminiffied.

VENICE, SEPTEMBER sj.

It was reported at Trielle on the 18th, that a fe-
cond fleet of tranfports; full of troops, on their way
from Otranto to Corfu, had been taken by the Eng-
in ; but intelligence from Naples of the 18th is talent
on the fubjelt. •
Corfu is at prefent clofely blockaded by the Eng-
lifh, fo that the return of fe•eral thoufand Ruffian
troops, which were about to leave it. will probably
be interrupted. The Ruffian fquadron of ffiips of
war and tranfports will winter here, and in the mean
time it is probable that the friendfhip between RatEa
and England will be broken off. The Ruffian Ad-
miral's name is Baratiniky.

MILAN, SEPTEMBER so.
