VIENNA, APRIL 4.
A report has been received here, by way of
Triefte, that the Englifh have taken Corfu, which,
however, Rands highly in need of confirmation.—
Many Greek merchants, who were on their way
for Leipzig, in order to buy Englifh goods at the
fairs, have fufpended their journey, on being in-
formed of the communication between England
and the Continent being interrupted.—The expe-
dition fitting out at Ancona by the French, is
f4id to be de (tined for Egypt, or, according to fome,
to ad againft Turkey, in concert with PASWAN
OGLIJ. It confills of 7000 men.—The infirument
of the ratification of peace, brought hither by
the courier Laroltsr, diftinguifhed itfelf from
all former, by the higheft degree of elegance ; it
Is bound up in gold fluff, richly embroidered with
filver, and decorated with pearls. The Imperial
ratification, fent to Paris, was only bound up in
red velvet.

The following order has been publifhed here :
ge As, in confequence of the refloration of peace,
the travelling of firangers, in the Imperial Here-
ditary States, will become more frequent, and as
the increafe of inhabitants in the metropolis, as
well as in the principal provincial towns, and the
high price of provifions arifing therefrom, require
Sr:cell:int attention, it is his Majefly's pleafure, that
orderly and well behaved flrangers, travelling on
Wind's in the Imperial Hereditary States, on
entering, as well as during their flay, fhall meet
with all poffible encouragement and fupport ; but
that proper meafures will be purfued to prevent
fufpicious flrangers, and perfons who have no real
Winds, from entering and remaining in our
States. In order to unite there objects, it has
pleated his Majefly to make the following regula-
tions :—No perfon, whatever may be his Ration,
can enter the Imperial States, without
_a proper
pafport ; every flranger, in order to obtain fuch
paiport, has therefore previoully to apply to the
Imperial Chancery of State, or to the Imperial
Mintier, Refident, or Conful abroad, moR con-
tiguous to him, to prove his perfonal circum-
Stances, and thE objects of his journey, by credible
teffimonials from the local authorities, from which,
however, perfons generally known, and particu-
larly dillinguifbed by their rank, are exempted."
On Maundy Thurfday, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY,
according to ancient cuflom, wafhed the feet of
Ta poor old men. The EMPRESS did not perform
the fame ceremony by the 12 old women, on ac-
count of her advancement in pregnancy. The
ages of the t 2 old men, taken together, amounted
curtly to that of METHUSALEM, VIZ. 969 years.
