DUTCH MAIL,

Nt-t.ri, Atm. 23.—Mr. Berilacqua, one of the
riche t merchants of Rome, is Dow here ; he was ae-
tose ! there of being a freemason, awkobliged to fly
In o der to avoid being throin into the prisons of the
Jn .skition. This flight has been cohsidered as a,

4-0 fessiun of his guilt, and all his property, real
a d personal, is confiscated. Many other fugitives
a e arrived from Rome, where several persons have
been thrown into prison.
!tortilla, SEPT. 4.—Some months ago, a very
itemarknble fall of a mountain happened ou the fron-
tiers of Tyrol, three leagues from Apeszo.
On the 21st of April this year, at two in the af-
tPrnoon, a large piece of rock fell down close bylba
Tillage of Borcha, rushed, os eye-witnesses report,
with the rapidity of lightning, upon the two villages
of Tanglett and Mareiane, which were wholly over.
whelmed by stones of immense size and rubbish,
only one house remained standing.
The rubbish from the mountain was in some
places 30 fathoms deep, and it spread in all direCtioni'
to the extent of half a league; 362 people lost their ,
lives.
The Magistrates of Belton°, indeed, gave orders
Immediately to dig through the rubbish, but it was
seen impossible to get at the houses. It would have
cost too much time, labour, and espetice.—lt is
strange, seys the Dutch Paper, that such a remarbq•
able 'sent should not have beta published before.:.`

THE S7IATESM4N.

LONDON:
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1614.

French Papers to the 22d, 231, and 24th, have I
. r eached us since our last,from which we have made some i
4 .tracts, possessing more than usual interest. Frcshl
taportance seems about to be added to the island o 1;
Elba. If we may credit the accounts from • Augs- i
burg, the sway of BONAPARTE in that island Is me- i
naced with powerful invasion. His old friend, FEW' li
' DINAND of Spain, demands one part of it as his;
right ; the Grand Duke of Tuscl:4l( lays claim to
another ; and the Prince of Piotasixo is'kurging
' his title to the remainder. How the illustrioes
• tumult of this barren spot is to shape his conduct
*midst inch conflicting claims to the sovereignty ,
of his. retreat remains to be seen. HOMER'S birth-1
place has been
.very seriously contended for by cities
which denied the living HOMER bread. Bona- i
PARTE, though no IlomEit, sees the spot to which
he has retired from an imperial throne, and which he
doubtle“ thought worth nobody's care, beset all of
a suddeo with almost as many claimants. The re.
duct ion of our maritime greatness seems once more
the object of French speculators. They s that
the Universal Gazette has made a o the
Emperor of Runt.% in favour of rty of com-
merce and the rights of ma; nations. The
Editor grounds his observati 'on this principle,
that an universal Maritime blo irchy will be as odious
and oppressive as the tyranny which lately spread
itself over the Continent ; unless other nations
shall unite in establishing a balance upon the sea, as
*ell as on land. The Allied Princes must know
that it is only because our power had no balance on
the sea, that we have been able to support them
as we have dune, and to become a principal
in the overthrow of the common enemy. We are,
therefore, not prepared to expect that they, still less
that ALEXANDER, who refused to aid BONAPARTE in
bis schemes to overthrow our naval strength, will all
of a sudden commence a crusade against outmaritime
superiority. ^-'... er

' The French Chamber of Peers has adopted the
project of the law relating to the finances. On the
14th the Chamber received from the Chamber of
Deputies the resolution for the payment of debts
contracted by the KING in foreign countries ; and
unanimously adopted the law. The Chamber of
Deputies are occupied in the consideration of prepo-
sitions relative to Refugees, and the law of Na.
taralization, with other measures of internal policy.
• A UGSBU liti) Star. lti.—lt is said that three Powers
. threaten the existence of the Isle of Elba. The'
King of Spain demands that part of the island in 1
which is situated the city of Longono, because it
formerly belonged to Spain; the (hand Duke of
Tuscany lays claim to that part which was formerly
under the dominion of Florence; and the rightful
Prince of Piombino claims the remainder.
VIENNA, Sm. 11.—Oor Court will receive the
Foreign Monarchs with the most grand equipege.
Twenty thousand chosen grenadiers will be here in
garrison. The noble Hungarian guardis reinforced
. by younr ertlemen of the first families.

Louisa, after having tihrelled over the Pays de
Vaud at Berne the 12th of this month. The
tine se bich we enjoy has iadoced her to make
