ANHOLt MAIL.

An Aral*lt Mail arrived this morning, brought to
Harwich by the Lord Duncan packet. The subjoined
intelligence.frowt the Coutinental Journals is all that
appears interesting in them :

NAPLES, JANUARY 12.

An Italian Courier arrived on the 7th of this month
at Barletta from Corfu, which place he left on the'
sth ; he annolinces that, on the 4th, two French fri.
gates, with troops on board, entered that port. Many
transports also dispatched from Ancona, loaded with
grain and other provisions, have likewise arrived at
Corfu.

OTRANTO, JANUARY 5.
M. Berrault, Captain of the Ist Neapolitan Regi-
Vent of light horse, arrived yesterday from Corfu, as
--tearer of the dispatches from his Excellency General
bonzelet, Governor-General of the lonian Islands,
for his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies.
This officer reports, that the Isle of Faro has been
occupied since the sth December by a French gar-
. riaon, as well as in those of Merlair and Samadroche,
and that the English cruizers are no longer able to
deep the sea on these coasts.
Three swift sailing vessels, with money on board.
and 14 transports, laden with provisions and troops,
sailed on the 24th December from Otranto for Corfu,
and arrived there. - • .
• •.• • ,
M. Barault adds, that he left the island in the most
brilliant situation, military sopplies and provisions of
every description for the inhabitants, were in- the
greatest abundance. The garrison was numerous; of
an excellent appearance, and in the most perfect
health. All the fortifications are now completed,'
and they' are establishing an entrenched camp, which
:Will be as formidable by its position as the works of
which it will be composed. Four battalions are daily
working upon it, and this construction will soon be
finished, thanks to the zeal of the inhabitants of the
country, who assist informing it with joy and activity.
We see from these details; that it is to be wished
that the English, in place of keeping away from
Corfu, would, on the contrary, attempt to attack it,
as,they would be received by the garrison and inha-
bitants in a way that would prove how well founded
their projects are for the dominion of the coasts of the
lonian Islands.
STOCKHOLM, FEBRUARY z,
Mr. C. Hougherg has been acknowledged by his Ma-
jetty the King of Prussia, Consul-General in• Sweden.
CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. so.
With regard to the intelligence received that the
English has sustained, and is still sustaining, very
considerable losses, it is hcre observed, that the said
nude is not by any means so flourishing in Turkey.
In the same manner as in Malta, magazines have
been formed in Smyrna, Saloniche, and here in the
capital, full of Euglish goods, which either cannot be
disposed of a; all, or must be sold at very inferior
prices. Several failures have already taken place, and
'gill more are expected. Government has prohibited
the exportation of iron, cordsge, and linen, in the
Mediterranean. This prohibition proves very un-
pleasant to the English, as they are always anxious
to receive and re-export all such Russian commodities
as arrive here from the Russian ports.
VIENNA, JANUARY 23.
The General-in-Chief Kamensky, in conformity to
orders which he has received from Petersburgh, is
constructing many forts and entrenchments in Mol-
davia and Wallachia. They are likewise preparing
many other fortifications.
Notwithstanding all the reports which have hitherto
been spread respecting. changes in the Ministry of
Finances, Count Wallis is still at the head of that
department, and works night and day at the restora-
tion of our finances. He has frequent conferences
with his Majesty, who is especially occupied with this
gran object.

...

We are assured that new protests have been ad.-
dressed to his Majesty the Emperor; entreating him
to desist from the plan, decreed by his Council, rela-
tive to the sale of a part of the ecclesiastical property.
We are assured that these remonstrances are highly
approved by the Archbishop of Vienna. The sum
cf&reetty thelekurar elergy, in the event of Govern.
meat acceding to their wishes, is, it is said, very
considerable, but the StMODI44I not specified. We do
aot know what nsaffinal
sulThiatite Minister will persevere Ili a plan Which was
rot adopted till Niter long discussions, and which seems
calculated to draw the state from a powerful situation.
It is possible that the uncertainty of the measures to
be taken may have some influence upon the course of
exchange, and prevent it from being so high as could
be desired.

JANUARY 29.—A society of Austrian military men
of all ranks, with the consent of the Emperor, has
addressed a circular letter to their brothers in arms,
inviting them to unite and erect a monument to the
memory of the brave men who remained upon the
Lids of battle of Aspern and Wagram.

It is reported, on the authority of letters by a ves-
i2l that sailed from Heligoland, since the packet left
it, on the 14th instant, that Russia has formally de.
dared War against France. We do 'not believe this
statement; but it is a positive fact that a Russian Ge.
neral has been arrested and thrown into prison by his
Government, on the chartre of having traitorously
declared to Cata.txcovivr, the French Minister, the
crength, poticions, ansl resolute; of the Reuias
bury forte.

The ships had been left with so few men to ma-

Foote to lead into any anchcrage that he might be
able to maintain, to make a diversion in our favour;

circumstances of a dark and squally night, in a nar.
