pe
several Cardinals preceded his Holiness to that city.
The Austrian and Hengarian troops which arrive
in Italy are to occupy the line of the Po.
By news from Italy it appears that at Milan the
greatest uneasiness prevailed on the advances of the
King of Naples, and the spirit of insurrection was
manifest throughout the whole of Italy. Many per-
sOns had already left Milan to seek refuge in Mantua.
The Government was occupied in emptying the ma-
gazines.

VIENNA, Aram s.—Marshal Berthier has arrived
here.

Very serious measures of precaution are taken
against all strangers, but particularly against the
French.

The Emperor Alexander will not repair to Prague
as has been said. The Allied Sovereigns are now to
assemble at Ulm.

METZ, Aram 15.—The following are particulars
given by an Officer who left Vienna, the 7th of
April :—Russia has in full march for the Rhine 17
divisions Of troops, cavalry, infantry, and artillery,
forming altogether a force of 110,000 men.
Prussia has an army of 90,000 men in march for
the Rhine, burning with hatred to the French, and
disposed to commit every possible evil in the
country.

England, Holland, Hanover, and Hesse, have
upwards of 60,000 men united under Lnrd Welling-
ton ; the Bavarian army amounts to 44,000 men, of
whom 9.5,000 are in march for the Rhine, it is well
organized and equipped, and full of resentment
against the French.
Austria has 180,000, destined for Italy, bat not
more than 120,000 can be counted upon as etective.
The Austrian army on the Rhine is estimated at
about 110,000 men. That Monarchy has much ap-
prehension übout Italy. Wirtemberg will famish
shout 10,000—Baden about 10,000—Hesse Darm-
stadt has already 40(X) men reedy.
The Allies have published, at Vienna, as follows :
'Russia—That whatever prisoners she makes shall
be met to the extreme of Russia, •never to be ex.
changed or given up ; such sof them as do not chaser
to enter into her service to he sent to form colonies '
near Monet Caucasus, and treated as slaves. The
other Powers have made similar declarations, that all
prisoners shall he treated with the utmost 'entity.
It is understood that the army under the Duke
of Wellington will form the siget wing—lo t)se centre
the Pi ussians and Saxons, under Blucher-41m left
will be composed of Austrians, Bavarians, \Virtem-
burghers, &c.

The Count de Lille is still at Ghent.
The Saxons hare halted between Juliers and Iture-
monde—they constantly quarrel with the Prussians,
and the cry of " Long fife to Father eiolet," is
perpetual.

The considerate Reader will peruse with a fearful
anticipation the Copy of the Treaty of Vienne, con-
cluded on the 25th ult. which we this day lay before
the public, and by which the Principal Powers of
Europe, Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria,
have bound themselves and invite all others, to make
war—the circumstances of the case will not allow
us to say as the Treaty does, against a single man,
but against the whole population of France. Ad-
hering to their former sanguinary declaration that
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE had by entering France for-
feited his title to existence, and been in consequence
placed by them without the pale of civil and social
law ; this Treaty pledges the Contracting Powers
66 to use all their efl'orts to bring him and his adhe-
rents (pretty numerous they seem to be) to justice,
in case a demand to that effect should be made upon
them by the (late) King of FRANCE. What a great
man is Louts XVIII. still! What an opportunity
has he yet to be magnanimous ! lie sees the chief
powers of Europe ready to march and desolate his
fine country at his bidding—he sees them standing,
unschooled by experience, fretting and fidgeting,
like " Ruin with his sweeping besom, till
Ileaven commission gives him," to sweep man
and civilisation from the earth—skid some like the
death-devoted stripling, exclaiming, even " before
he shall speak out I. will accept !" On
whom now does Europe's peace depend ? Who
moves the war? Louis or NAPOLEON ? NAPOLEON
is peaceful, and France is quiet.—llas Lours XA TIER
STAN ISL AUS given the signal for the destruction of
those whom he calls his children? On whom will
the responsibility of Europe's devastation rest if the
fearful signal has been given for trampling under
foot the foundations of public safety ? On him who
is the first to issue the bloody mandate. All the
Contracting Parties solemnly engage not to lay down
their arms until the object of the war shall be attained,
nor until BONAPARrE shall be wholly and complete-
ly deprived of the power of exciting disturbance,.

Lest disturbances should be excited same lime or
•other, they must be created now ! And this is called
maintaining the peace of Europe! How would a
plea of this sort sound at Bow-street ? For this
great aim (we meats giving France a Sovereign,
whist whom the whole uatiou has tumultuously de-

dared) the four above-named Powers 46 will have
constantly in the field (if we can pay them, doubt.
less, froth the stipulation) 150,000 men. This,
says the arithmetician of the Times, who quotes
COCKER for the information of the English, and
VATTEL for the French, will make 600,000. The
' other Powers, if they wall accede, and the other
ifs that will naturally occur to political calculators
shall be all removed by actual demonstrations, are
' expected to furnish, at least, 200,000. Who the
other Powers are that will furnish this 200,000
is not, however, so exactly known.—lt will
!be found rather unfortunate for the number
and the cause, that Marshal MURAT, as Lord
LIVERPOOL calls 44 the person" whom his col-
league, the Foreign Minister, lately recognized
as the King of Naples, has withdrawn his eighty or
a hundred thousand veterans from the Coalition,
and found ample employment for the whole of
Austria's contingent in Italy. If this 800,003 men
(" provided always" that they can be collected and
paid), at once entering France, cannot defeat and
d stroy the two millions who are to be opposed to
them, the Contracting Powers agree to . devote to
this great and salutary object all their disposable
force. '66 One most judicious feature in thi; Treaty,"
says the Times, 46 is, that as it !s entered into simply
end solely with a view to support France against
the attempts of a set of rebels, his most Chrirtion Ma..
jesty is invited to accede to the alliance" which is to
devastate his country, " and to assume that rank in it
which the important interests of his country demand."
Do the interests of France demand this—this inva-
sion, this threatened subversion or destruction ?
The proof tt,lt they do so will not be found in Vette!,
nor will the French people see that the Allies
coming thus or at all into their country again, with-
out provocation, come " to maintain the legitimate
monarchy of France in a truly paternal French Go-
vernment, to protect their privileges, their laws,
their religion, or their property." One word more
on legitimacy, if the choice of a people is allowed to
constit nte a iv part of this claim. Let us hear the French
ttIPMSeI Veg. 44 \Vhen the EMPEROR presented himself,
without suiteand without arms, to the people of Lyons,
there was not one man who for two millions would
deliver him up to his enemies. When the Duke of
Angouleme tied final atuphine, there was 10,(;00
peasnnts to arrest the Prince and his whole Staff,
gratis. On which side is the voice of the nation'?"
The policy of the " imperative interference" which
would dictate to this voice, will be sufficiently evident
from this hint.

Notwithstanding every day shows the cause of the
Boutteorts to be mere and more hopeless, the iniel-
ligence of every day evinces more and more also that
war must take place. Hundreds of thousands of Rus-
sians and of Cossacks are said to be on the road for
France; the Gazettes of our Allies tell us ahltallt.

daily, that the Austrian armies are filing off to the
West and to the South, and the legions of Prussia,
too, are on quick march to the land lotted off to their
Sovereign on the Rhine; but though the cry is "still
they come," we have no authentic information that
more than 80 or 100,000 men are any way near the
scene of expected operations, and a great portion of
that army was there before BONAPARTE entered
France. Hanover, it is said, is to furnish a con-
tingent of 37,000 men. Fifteen thousand have al-
ready proceeded to the army, and 10,000 are to
reach Antwerp by the Ist of May. It is supposed
that these troops are to form part of the British con-
tingent.

The Bill for the renewal of the Property Tax,
without any modification, has been brought in, and
is making rapid progress through Parliament. We
have only room to say that the discussion on this and
other subjects which engiged both Houses last night
were of great importance, and that the report which
we give will be found highly interesting.

THE LETEE.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the
PRINCE REGENT held a Levee at Carlton-house,
which did not close till about five. His Royal High-
ness first received those who have the privilege of
the entie in the roomadjoining the levee.room, when
a number of foreigners were introduced to his Royal
Highness by the Ambassadors and Ministers. 'The
French Ambassador presented seven or eight, who
only arrived in London on Wednesday ; among
them was Count DE LYNCH, the Mayor of Bout.
Beaux. The REGBNT afterwards proceeded to
hold a General Levee, which was attended by the
Dukes Of YORK, CLARENCE, KENT, GLOVES-
TER, the Archbishops of, CANTERBURY And YORK,
the Cabinet Ministers, the Lords Chief Jostices of
the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, &c. &c. A consider-
able number of persons were presented to the PaiNCX
REGENT, among whom we observe the names of Mr.
LAWRENCE, It. A. who was Knighted; Colonel Sir
N. CAMPBELL, on his return from Elba ; Sir Men tan
STR ACH AN, on being made a Grand Cross of the
Order of the Bath. The Mayor of Bristol presented
an Address on the conclusion of peace with America,
and was Knighteeis as also was Mr. Aldelman
VAUGHAN from the same city.
An expedition of considerable force is in progress
of arrangement and preparation at Cork, to consist
of most of the regiments now in Ireland, and some
of those expected from America.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND, from the extraordi-
nary change of circumstances on the Continent, has
of necessity changed his intention of remitting
abroad till the next year, and may therefore he ex li
-
peeled in England with his Duchess in the course of
the next month.

Mr. Serjeant PALMER, the Judge of the Insolvent
Debtors' Court, died on Wednesday morning, at
his house in Carey-street; Lincoln's Lan-fields.
