AUGSBURGH, FEBRUARY 21

Theamount of the Austrian army advancing against
lisples, under General Frimont, is estimated at fifty
Musand men, and the army of reserve at an equal
amber. A corps of observation still remains in
timer Italy. The three Legations of Ferrara, lk.
kZna, and Ravenna, were, at the date of the last ad-
aces, occupied by the invaders. The partizans of

NAPLES, FEBRUARY a.
Silence has at length been broken, and we have to
lavounce to our readers, with the most profound
tfief, that the hope which we entertained of a pacific
trangement with the Allied Sovereigns, at Laybach,
entirely destroyed. A Royal Message, dispatched
ions that city to our Prince Regent, declares, in the
lost positive manner, that the Monarchs of the
Monts have resolved not to recognize our Constitu-
tits. The presence of the King at Laybach was
assory ; everything was arranged before he arrived
4 the Congress.—LThen follows the King's letter to
his seq.

By Decree of the 4th February, 50,400 men of the
lational Guard, organised under the name of Pr3vin-
4al Militia and Legionaries, are placed at the dis-
Postiof the Executive Power, who will employ them
in the manner most useful !or the defence of the
