yesterday.
11EnNE, JA`r. 14.—King Joachim hewing pee-
posed several persons to fill the vacant Sees in the
Neapolitan States, the Pope, it is said, has given
him no answer,

ANCONA, JAN. 16.--We are full of expectation of
the events of which Rome is going to be the theatre.
i A rupture seems inevitable.
' BOLOGNA, JAN. 13.—The Neapolitan troops that
were to come to garrison our city, in place of the
Austrians, who are reinforcing themselves in Lom-
bardy and the Venetian provinces, have received
counter-orders. It seems that numerous forces are
collecting in the Marches. The accounts from Naples
speak of a declared rupture between King Joachim
and the Holy See. It is said that a certain Power
has in vain offered its mediation, awl that neither
party will abate of its pretensions. It is thought
that his Holiness will make an appeal to his subjects,
and that a new religious war will ensue. But can
one believe, that in the 19th century, and in the
middle of Europe, religion can serve as a pretext to
kindle the flames of war'

It is thought that the Congress will have decided
on the fate of all Italy by the 25th of January.
Masks have been prohibited in the theatre. This
!regulation, which nothing calls for, has given rise to
expostulations. Our country is tranquil.
The Austrians know very well that we do not
love them ; but they do not appear to have intended
by their conduct to gain our affections.

CREMONA, JAN. 15.—This evening a warm dis.
pute took place at the Theatre, between two Ger-
man officers and some young men of this country.—
The Governor caused the Germans to be desired .to
leave, to avoid the consequences of an irritation which
might become general against all the Germans who
were in the Theatre.
i FRANKFORT, JAN. 31.—The Russian army which
leaves the North of Germany, will occupy the two
Banks of the Vistula, Thorn, Dantzic, and the other
strong places. This army is stated to amount in the
whole to 150,000 men of all arms.
A second Russian army will remain upon the
Niemen till all the affairs of Europe shall be settled.
Prussia is increasing its armaments ; Bavaria and
Hanover do the same ; France puts her armies on a
formidable footing, and throughout all Germany no.
thing seems to be thought of at this moment, except
the organization of fresh militia. At the sight of
these threatening dispositions people enquire, with
uneasiness, what will be the consequence of them ?
VIENNA, JAN. 26.--The friends of peace and
public happiness cannot look without fear on the
present state of Germany. Russia has 650,000 men
under arms, exclusive of their regular corps ; Austria
has above 500,000 actually .embodied ;,„Preasit.

It is csattlently believed that the Duke of Wel-
lingtoo is the bearer of instructions which will have
a seri decisive iulluence in the negociations.

A letter from Ghent of the 25th ult. says," many
English traders visit our provintes with goods which
they offer at a low price, but for which they by no
means find a ready sale, either from the viMionality
of the people, or from inferiority of manufacture,
our establishments having attained a perfection which
fears no competition."
The Gazette de France contains a long account of
the re-occupation of Martinique by Count Vangiraud
in the name of the French Government. It states,
that thotigh a number of French merchantmen had
arrived out before the delivering up of the island,
they suffered nothing from the delay, but had an
excellent market for their goods. It is added, that
an order had been issued for enforcing the Decree of
the Council of State of the 30th of Aug. 1754, in
relation to the trade of foreign nations with the
island. The ports of St. Pierre, Fort Royal, Trinity,
and Marin, were to be opened to foreign vesse!4,
which were to pay 2 per cent. of local dues, and
one per cent. additional, on their cargoes. They
are to pay similar duties on their exports.
