it is to support Louis XVIII. that the Allies are
going to war. But there is another object in view,
which k as little disguised, and as little calculated to
gain friends to the cause, at least among the French,
as this war for legitimacy, and that is the blood of
13nNAPIRTZ. Nothing hut this will now satisfy the
High Allied Powers. " By breaking the Conven-
'potion which established him in the Island of Elba,"
says the Declaration, 64 he destroys the only legal
title on which his existence depended. By appearing
again in France, with projects of confusion and dis-
order, he has deprived himself of the protection of
the law," and he is therefore declared placed with-
out the pale of civil and social relations," and no
quarter is to he given to him. 44 Vengeance is mine,
and I will repay."—" First catch a fish," &c.
The names of the Ministers of Austria and France
(TALtraritArro among the number), are affixed to
this terrible Manifesto.

[FROM A LETT£R.]
V!I.NNA, I%lAuctl 13.—The Aulic Council of War
is in continual activity; about 40 expresses have
been sent slurp the day before yesterday to Italy,
Iluugtu s, Gallicia, and li..hemia ; SO battalions of
iNfatitry, 110 squadrons of cavalry, and a numerous
train of artillery' have received orders to march im-
mediately to the Rhine. His Majesty the King of
Prussia has named Prince Blucher to the chief com-
mand of all the forces which are ordered to proceed
by forced marches to the Lower Rhine. The Russian
army on the Vistula, as well as that of General
Bentligseu, has received orders to march to Germany ;
it will be replaced by the reserve army on the banks
of the Niemen. The King of Bivaria has promised to
furnish 40,000 men under Prince Wrede. The
Archduke John is to commend the Austrian troops
in Italy ; the troops of the King of Sardinia will be
under his command. Duke of Wellington will
c,,mtnand the Allied Army, composed of English,
lisilioverialis, Dutch, and Belgian troops, destined to
operate in the Netherlands. To those forces, which
are already so respectable, the Emperor of Russia
has promised to add 40,000 Russians, including
1%4000 c miry. Lastly, it has been resolved, that
if circumstances should require It, the Emperors of
11,e.sia and Austria, and the Kings of Prussia and
Bavaria, shall repair to Frankfort on the Maine, and
remain there tocettier till all is settled.

Bitussm.s, Nl...nen 22.—A courier from Vienna,
which in left on the 15th inst. brings word that Italy
is in a stale of tranquillity.—The Ministers of the
King of Naples had declared to the Congress, that
there was no foundation whatever for the news that
the King had an uorlerstanding with Bonaparte.
Tile military movements continue upon our fron-
tiers ; the Prussian troops have established nume-
rous posts at the extremities of the frontiers Gf
Luxemburg, bofore Loogwy, as well. as about toe
village of Trecattge, on the road to T:,iottitille: it is
the same on tie Stare; the fortress of Bische and
S4sr-loci: are closely observed by tie Prus,iatts awl
Bavarians: the Austrians and the troops of the
Empire, have made a movement towards Landau on
t!-- ether

If we were to decide upon the policy of this im-
-1 portant and death-denouncing document, we would
say, that perhaps a more unfortunate and ill.itimed
Declaration of Royal hate and resolution to carry on
a war of extermination, to replace a banished family
on the throne of a great, a brave, and an enlighten-
ed Empire, and to glut a vengeful appetite with the
blood of one chosen man,—chosen by the unanimous
voice of the Empire he governs, never was issued by
any Council of Princes. It is clear from tte docu-
ment itself, that the Powers who issued it, were
guided more by their own apprehensions than any
actual knowledge of the state of the public mind in
France. It is issued upon the bare knowledge of
theentry of BONAPARTE into that country, and taiks
about 64 all France rallying round the standard of
their legitimate Sovereign,"—whereas the contrary
is the case, and the whole French liation is tallying
round the standard of this proscribed man.
Again, the neclaration speaks of •r this attempt
to plunge the world into the disorders and miseries
of R. volutions." As far as regards France the Re-
volution is already complete, and neither disorder
nor misery have as yet been the consequence of the
bold attempt. Not a man ventured to lose his life
for this cause which the Allies have espoused so
warmly. And with respect to carrying Revolution
into foreign nations a, the Allies say they will,
what says the party so awfully denounced ? u We
wish not to interfere i the atfaits of foreign nations,
bat woe to those who shill intermeddle in ours"
—and, certainly, *l' rder and misery, to no
small extent, will be the consequence of the Allied
Powers attempting to carry this, their rash, Declara-
tion into effect.

The circumhtatice of the few Frenchmen who at-
tended Louis in his melancholy retreat to Lisle hav-
ing already abandoned him, and the necessity which
the unfortunate King has been under of taking refuge
at Touruay, under the protection of a British glrrison,
together with the umlisturlfed state of the French nation
at this moment, agitated nppareetly only by threats
of forei..7,n aggression, suflicient!y eviece the disposi-
(kit which '' all France has to ratty round the
standard of its legitimate Sovereign," and t:•e ideas
whit:h the people of that nation enrer(aie as tit the
.necessity of shedding their blood for Princes ho
found their title to reign on legitimacy alone.
Bat let us sun nse, for a moment, that the
Powers united to support King Louts, sliquld so far
succeed in their Herculean task, as to thee him again
on the Throne of the CAPETS—that after cutting their
way to Paris, through the bleeding ranks of French-
men, he should be marched trininphawly into the
Capital, on the shoulders of the Cossacks—what
then ? Will this accomplish that which ought to he
the object of the grand alliance—the security, the
tranquillity of Europe, and giving peace and hap-
piness to France and the Continent ? Who knows
not that this would he the mnst effectual way of de-
fea,ing such an object, and perpetuating discontent,
discord, and the wish for revolutions ? Why, it
would require the constant presence of '200,000
lte,sians, Prussians, or 44 furious Franks and fiery
Huns," in the Capital of France, to preserve the
feeble and imposed Monarch upon his ever totter-
ing throne—two hundred thousand foreign spears,
at least, would be necessary in France as a guard
for the Sovereign thus imposed against the out.
raged feelings of the people, and that to en indefi-
nite period, allowing the Allies succeeded to their
most sanguine wish in the object which they seem
now to have espoused. And will any one skilled in
finance,and national resources point out where that
mine of wealth is to be found which shall support so
costly and lasting a peace establishment for the
Bounaoses and the world, whose tranquillity, we
are sorry to perceive, is again made to depend on
the preservation of their precious dynasty. In our
humble opinion, SISYPHUS, whom the Gods doomed
to roll a huge stone up a mountain in the Tarlarean
regions for his perfidy and numerous robberies, and
1 which stone continually rebounded down hill as fast
as poor StsYrnes succeeded in getting it up, had not a
more hopeless task set to him to perform, than the A!-

selves in the determination they hove made to replace I

to be the spot on which the prize of ambition is again
to be contested. Lord NV vir,r.ixoToN, was at the date
of the catest accounts, expected immediately in Brus-
sels to take the command—not of the whole Allied
forces, but only of the English, Hanoverian, Dutch,
and B.lgian troops. BLUCHER commends the Prus-
sian army, which is said to amount to 100.000 men,
and is pushing, by forced marches, to tho Lower
Rhine. The Russian army on the Vistula, as well
as that of General BENNINGSEN, has received orders
to match to Germany ; it will be replaced by the re-
serve army on the banks of the Niemen. The King
of BAVARIA. is to furnish 40,000 men, under Prince
WREDE. The Archduke JOHN is to command the
Aust;:%tt troo:1 in Italy ; the troops of the King of
SAanmA will be under his command. The Em-
peror of Russ:A has promised to add 40,000 Rus-
sians, including 12,000 cavalry, to his former con-

tingent. Lastly, say the accounts, it has been re-
solved, that if circumstances should require it,
the Emperors of itusstA and AUSTRIA, and the
Kings of PitusslA and 13ATARIA. shall repair to
Frank fort, and remain there together till all is sailed!
Perhaps their Majesties my have to wait some time
if they are disposed to sit down quietly and wait for
this.

On the other hand, we find there is an immense
military force collecting in France, around Paris,
and marching to the vulnerable parts of the frontier.
—The whole military force new at the command of
110 NA ItTv: is estimated at more than 400,000 men,
one half of whom are tit for any service, and the
other for garrison duty. 111otAT has a great army

himself last year by his military operations in Flan-

loyalty, the fortunes of Louis XVIII. Many other
persons who have left France:arrive here succes-
sively, to seek its a hospitable country an asylum
from the evils which again oppress their unhappy
country.

Numerous couriers continue to pass night and day
without interruption through this city to different
quarters. The nature of circumstances, and the
events of which Fr. n •It Flanders, Artois, and Cam-

theatre, gibe rise to this active correspondence.

We observed with much surprise, that at the mag-
nificent entertainment given by the LORD MAvott
yesterday, at the Mansion-liouse, not one of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, who are unifontly invited upon
Such occasions, were present. Nor was this marked
disrespect applied to the great Metropolis of the em-
pire atone, but also to the gallant Lord Lartanoct
(fir THOMAS GrtAtiAst), who, it was veil known,
wns specially invited for the express purpose of re-
ceiving the sword voted to him by the City. We
believe that this is the first instance on record
of so signal an insult being offered to the seat

trate. At this important crisis, we hardly sup-
posed it possible, that so impolitic, so con.
temptuous a mark of Ministerial anger could have
been shown by even oar present rulers, of whose
sagacity, certainly we have no great opinion.—
