MILAN,•APRIL 11.

The latest news from Verona is consoling. Her
Majesty the Empress of Austria gets better; she is
pronounced out of danger. A Physician of Verona
has made this extraordinary cure.
The Archduchess Marie-Beatrice d'Este, his re-
turned from Verona, where she remained near the
Empress, her august daughter. whom she left in a
satisfactory state.
The Emperor is gone to Vicencia, but it is under-
stood that he will returo co Verona before he goes to
Venice.

MADRID, APRIL a.
On the 4th of November last there Oppeare4, nen
inn in Valladolid. si young female, from IS to 10
years of age, of ordinary size, good cod:pinion,
dark eyes, full breast, clad in a blue riding dress'
and beaver tap, speaking a dialect half Portuguese,
halt Gellican, and scarcely able to read. $k was:
attended by Purre Romero, who accompanied kr
from Greve: in Portugal, and apart whom she passed
herself for the sister of his M.ijesty Ferdinand VII..
whose favour she promised him. Thfi report reached
the Governor, and excited general suspicion. The
Corregidor, with the Aleade•Major and Notary, pro.
needed to ascertain the truth r they found the girl in
bed, and thought it their duty not to disturb the
;lumbers of one who represented herself as belonging
to the Royal Family. The hest day they renewed
their inquiries, and obtained hei answers, which al-
ways ended with the worls, * I am the sister,ve the
niece of Ferdinand VII." However, -bee accent,
her agitation, and want of say proof of the troth of
her pretensions, excited distrust. An immense crowd
assembled, and the Magistrates thought it right to
remove her to a..respectable house, where she was
treated with proper regard, but under a dose watch.
At length', after undergoing a fresh examination,
a4tel wearying the patience of the Magistrates, `fie;
declared tier nausa to be. blatie retaandes, day:Ater

•
of Francois Ar;ot of Oporto, who farad her into
the Convent of Santiago, far refusing to Miry Con-
trary to .her inclination, from which she escaped
*et ten months confinement, by mews of a ladder
procured for her by a More favoured love ; that
*radios the resentment of her father she abandoned
herself to her fortune alone, and without means, in
which condition she assumed the name of Mariel
Isabelle de Bourbon, sister of Ferdinand VII. under '
which she introduced herself to Romero. Upon this
Romero and others, who bad been imposed upon,
were released horn confinement by the Magistrates.
A. report of it was made to the King, and his Ma-
jesty, to pity to het situation and her se; pardoned
her assumption or the name of the Royal Family.—
The Alcade•Major was commanded to require her
friends, at Oporto, to take her home, on payment of
all costs and charges occasioned by her ; she in the
mean time to continue a close prisoner. It has since
appeared, that she disguised the truth in her account
of her escape from Portugal. During her confine-
ment, she has spoken in such a manner as to leave
no-doubt of her being deranged. She has accord-
ingly, and in the absence of any answer from Oporto,
been removed to the madhouse of Valladolid, where
she now remains. The charges payable to the King
have been remitted, and an official statement of the
facts published, in order that the friends of Marie
Fernandes, if she has any, may discover her, and
save her henceforth from dangers, which she escaped
only through the clemency of his Majesty.

FRANKFORTI, APR!L to
We have announced, upon the authority of the
Gazette of atreuth, that the Duke of Otranto had
arrived at Prague, and that he was endeavouring to
purchase an hotel there. This account is false : the
Duke of Otranto is still at Dresden.
NAPLES, APRIL 9.
Since the fire at the Theatre of S tint Charles, the
Police has been searching for a number of persons,
who took advantage of the disorder inseparable from
such an event to penetrate into the Royal Palace, and
steal a great quantity of precious articles. The table
plate has been already recovered, as well as some
other articles, and some suspected persons have been
taken. and are to be tried. They will probably int•
{mach their accomplices.

PRIVATE LETTER.
" PAM, APRIL 15.

64 The Polytechnical School, that celebrated nur-
sery for Artillery and Engineer Officers, is this day
suppressed by an Ordonnance of the King. This se.
minary for military instruction had long since been
viewed with a jealous eye by the Court, both on ac-
count of its Revolutionary origin, and of the patriotic
spirit of the youth educated therein, evinced by their
defence of Pads against the Allies in 1814, and.
again by their active exertions for the same purpose-
in 1815, which spirit it has hitherto been found im.
possible to stifle, or suddenly to transform into a
love of Royalty. •
44 Symptoms of discontent having lately been ma-
nifested on the occasion of an attempt to introduce
some innovations into the Establishment, the oppor-
tunity was considered favourable for suppressing it,
in consequence of which a strong detachment of the
Royal Guard was ordered to take possession of the
building at midnight, to dismantle the school of its
arms, and to carry off fifty of its most refractory
youths. The remainder are sent back to their parents
and put under the surveillance of the Police. . • .
0 The military who have *served in the late cam-
paign, are every where objects of persecntiun. One
hundred and forty.two individual, chivfly Officers
of that description, have been arrested within these
three days at Versailles- and at Paris, under the vague
pretence of being concerned in a conspiracy against
Government. Thesit'arrests have been effected by
the Military Police, under the direction of M. de
l,.espinois.
It has been observed, that the Chamber of De-
puties never uttered a greater truth, than when they
declared that they did not represent the people.—
Among other points in which they have been unfaith-
ful to their trust, may be instanced the following :
The charge of voting money supplies is, as with us,
their peculiar privilege. They have shewn them-
selves so little jealous of this privilege, that they have
relinquished it in the instance of certain municipal
duties, which they suffer to be imposed by municipal
or departmental boards, ender the sanction of the
Minister of the Interior, or the Prefects, which is the
same thing. Since the Constituent Assembly in 1791,
down to the Imperial Government, no monies were
ever raised but by special act of the Legislature.—
Napoleon first introduced innovation on this point by
allowinti municipal duties to be imposed by the local
authorities, subject to the sanction of the Council of
State. The present Minister of Finance had with.
drawn from the municipal bodies the power of making
such irregular levies of money. on account of their
interfering with the general system of taxation. But
at the request of M. vie Vaublanc, it the opening of
the discussions on the Budget, this faculty of raising
money without the special concurrence of the House,
was restored to the Municipal Board s, no longer subject
as heretofore to the sanction of the Council of State,
but merely to that of the Minister of the Interior.
if The special teatime Tar, also laid for the pur-
pose of defraying die expenses attending the repair of
roads, canals, and other objects of generalimerest,
are now, in common with the municipal duties in
question, raised without limitation, and for the benefit
of that partial interest, io which evety thing is at this
time subservient, that of the Aristocracy, consisting
of the Clergy and Nobility.
-• 0 'the extraordinary contributions, such as those
laid for the purpose of paying 100 millions imposed
by the Allies, are assessed by the Prefects without
any rule but their pleasure ; by which nw.ans, tl.e
holdtis of national property (very different frem the
original purchasers of such property) the Isterilbersl
of the late House of Representatives, all such as have
filled places under the late usurpation, and all known
for their panic:ode; r, as otherwise called, tevola-
tionary principles, are heavily assessed, while those of,
aristocratic principles and interests, are assessed oath
