HAMBURGH PdPER.S.

FRONTIRRI OF ITALY, APRIL 3.—Soine accounts
say that Murat has taken possess.on of !tome, in
the name of the predtended King of Rom... The
Pope, who has left his capital, seems to he going to.
Venice. It is said that au affair has already taken
place near Ferrard.
VIENVA, APRIL s.—Murat was by the last ac-
counts at Pesaro. _ _

We expect every day the re-opening of the Ger.
man Committee. Since Austria has given in a Decla-
ration to the united Princes and free cities, exactly
similar to that of Prussia, Holland will now proba-
bly take a part in the Germasi Committee, on ac-
count of Luxembourg ; the same is hoped of Den-
mark, on account of Holstein ; Baden and Darin-
starlt, who did not sign the Note of the Princes of
the 22d of March, had previously offered their con-
tingents. Since the alliance between the four great
Powers, several conventions of the same tenour
have been concluded with other Powers. Danmark
gives an army of 25,000 men; and has offered
40,000, if it can be assisted by a subsidy in the equip-
ment and maintenance•of such force. The Saxon
deputies are gone to. Presburgh to the King, who has
called them to him, to deliberate on the state of the
country. Ho'has not yet signed the Convention, but
it can hardly be doubted hut that he will soon do so.
In a fortnight after the King has signed, the admi-
nistration of the country will be given up, according
to stipulation, by Prussia to the Saxon authorities.—
The Saxon troops will be under the command of the
Duke of Wellington. The many important cqn.
ferences between the Sovereigns themselves have in-
duced the Emperor of !lassie to give up his intended
journey to Prague, to cause no delay in the measures
which require the greatest promptitude. On the re-
ceipt of the very first 'teas of Boriaparte's lauding,
Alexander said very sensibly, " The thing is trifling
if we do not treat it as a trifle."
The Archduke Charles will certainly set out for
Mentz at the end of this 'week: The Crown PrinCel
of Wirtemberg goes away before him,' to take the
command of a Jorge army of Austrian, Wirteniberg,
and Hessian troops.
BKEILAV, Are tr. B.—The Russian army of reserve
of 80,000 knell, which will he stationed in Bavaria,
is to march through this city at the eild df this month.
The Mirth driroops by TOlpu and Srelnau has con-
timidd'llVedy abbirt deli days. The whold army that'
will piss through our province is stated to be 215,000
men. .

BERLIN, April 11.— His Majesty has signed the
letters patent for the taking possessing of the Grand
Duchy of the Lower Rhine, the Duchiot of Cleves,
Berg, and Guelders, the Principality of Moors, and
the Lordships of Essen and Werden.

In a Proclamation to the inhabitants ref the Kline)
Provinces 'united with •Prustia, his Majesty slates,
that when the Congress unanimously proposed the
incorporation• of these Provinces with Prussia, he did
not, in giving his assent, forget the dangerous sites.

difficulty of defending them : but conpidering that
they are the bulwarks of German indep-edence,
and that Prussia, whose own dependence has blew
threatened by their loss, had the duty, as well aft
the honourable claim to defend them, he yielded
to these higher considerations, and reilActing be 7

ty olhis people. Ilk Majesty promises that they shall
be governed by mild laws, their religion pr'oacted,
and its servants be placed in a sithalion to support
their office with dignity, that a Bishop's see and
university, and seminaries for Priests and Instructors,
shall be established. Ilk Majesty observes, that he
is sensible of the burden.; which a continued state of
war has inevitably caused, • hut bids them remember
that they proceeded chiefly from their former con.
nection with France. The taxes shell not be op.
pressive, and sh‘ll be regulated, after consulting
them, according to a plan to be formed for the other
Prussian States. The military establishment to aim
at defence, and the expence of a large standing army be
spared by the organization of Landwehr in time of
peace; but in war, all must take up arms that ar•
able to use them.

Weir, says his Majesty, threatens your frontiers;
to remove it to a distance I shall for a time ask for
new exertions; I shall choose a part of my standing
army from among you, and summon the Llndwehr,
and form the tandsturm, if the danger should come
so near as to make it necessary. But, united with
my brave armies, and my other subjects, you will
subdue the enemy of your country, and partake the
glory of having insured for a long series of centuries

Etnperor pa'ssed in succession through all the ranks,
and stopped for s•tme time before• each battalion.—
The officers at length forming a circle, his Majesty
addressed them nearly in tints terms:—
'• Soldiers of the National Guard of Paris, I aro
♦ery glad to see you. I formed you 15 months ago
for the maintenance of public tranquillity in the ca-
pital, and for its seem ity. You fulfilled my espec-
tation. You shed tour blood for the defence of
Paris : and if enemies' troops entered our walls, the
fault was not in you, but in treason, and especially
in that fatality o hich adhered to our affairs under
those unfortunate circumstances.

.► The Royal Throne was not suitable for France.
It gave no security to the people oo their most pre•
cious interests. It had been imposed on us by the
foreigner. if it had existed, it would have been a
monument of shame and calamity. I am arrived,
armed with all tl►e force of the people and of the
army, to efface this stain, and restore all their bright-
ness toihe•honour and glory of France.
" Soldiers of the National Guard, this very morn-
ing the telegraph of Lyons has informed me that the
tri-coloured flag flies at A►►tibes and at M►tseilles:
100 rounds of cannon, fired on all our frontiers,
will acquaint the foreigner that our civil dissensious
are terminated. I say the foreigners, for as yet we
know not any enemies. If they collect their troops,
we will collect our's. Our armies are all composed
of heroes who have signalised themselves in many
battles; and will present to the foreigner a. frontier of
iron ; whilo numerous battalions of granadiers and
chasseurs of the National Guards will guarantee our
frontiers. 1 will net interfere with the *Pin of
other nations; woe to the Governments wbo shall
interfere with our's. Reverses have retempered the
character of the French people: it has recevered
that youth, that vigour, which, 20 years ago,tstuui►►tl•
