vatinn, under General Lacourbe, which is forming

same.

nrussels Papers to the 2Sth, and Frankfort to the
lrh inst. arrived at a late hoor this forenoon. We

shalt allow the extracts we make to speak (br them-
'helves, haxiwg wine remarks to offer on other sub-

j!Cts
GENOA, MAT Anglo-Sicilian expedition, '
which was to sail from Messina about this time, is
composed of 6000 English troops, 15,000 Sicilians,
and a legion of brave Calabrians, whose attachment
to their lawful Sovereign has never abated a single
moment. The King is at the head of this army,
which burns with impatience to combat Murat and
his satellites. A squadron, consisting of some ships
of the line, frigates, and light vessels, will protect
the operations of the landing. Frequent communi-
cations have already taken place with the inhabitants
of the Neapolitan coast, who are all ready to declare
for the good cause as soon as the army arrives. It
is considered as certain that the restoration of Fer-
dinand to. the Throne of Naples will take place be-
fore the Ist of June.
Views*, MAY 16.—A line of telegraphs is to be
estahli•hed from Vienna to Mentz.
We expect every moment to receive the news of
the entrance of our troops into Naples, and of the
surrender of Ancona.
The King of Prussia will go to the army by way

of Bcriin, the two Emperors go by Prague.
Dussecoonr, MAT B.—Above 200,000 Prussians
are irrIVNI onths bank of the Rhine, and we wait
wily for the Russian army of 250,000 men, which is
raptirly'allvencing, in order to begin operations.—
The events that may be expected wilt surpass every
tiling that has yet been seen.
. Gutsy, MAT 25.,-The son of the Prince de
rut erriviA here yesterday from Paris, to attend on
hit Majesty, Louis XVIII. This Nobleman re-
pnrtst that Bonaparte was preparing to repair to the
**my towards the end of this month, that it was the
g-neral opinion that hostilities would begin thee,
and that it was expected that before the Allies en-
tiled France, they would publish an energetic Prd.
d 3 mation.

tins just removed his headquarters from Sotteghem to
Ontlevarde.
The first English troops from America, consisting
6r two regiments of foot, landed at Ostend on the
t3d.

Uatissass, v ie.—The Allied forces on the
Upper Rhine are already 'Try respectable; the Bava-
rians have moo° men, Wirtemberg 20,000, Baden
12,000, Hesse 8000.
-The first column of the Prussian army began to
piss through Nuremberg on the 19th. One bundled
elossand men will pass through that place.
PRAGUE, MAY 15.—0 n the lath arrived here two
regiments of Russian light infantry, and to-day two
regiments of the line.
Cas‘sa., M.4v 20.—The superb regiment of Prus-
sian Cuirassiers of the Grand Duke Constantine, ar-
rived here to-day ; it is going to Warburg.

shal Prince Stitwartzenbeig passed, on the 18th,

The forwardness of the Chottans, and the back •
wariness of the Russians and the other civilising

Powers of the 'North, front whom France and
Europe are to expect deliverance and peace, form
the chief theme at present. The Chouans, or
Owlet-warriors, as the French call them, of the
woods of IA Vendee, have made an unexpected
advance into the light, and it is said, have even
carried terror to the Throne of NAPOLEON..
Bet it was not to be expected that the weak
•ptics of these natives of the shade could long '
sustain the blaze that would be poured upon
them from the vengeful armoury of the power they
were thus so rashly defying. The greater part of the
arms and ammunition sent from this country to the
Chouan leaders, have already fallen Into the hands
of the French Government, whose troops they will
serve to arm and support ; and the partizans of the
Boriatiow family in France are likely to stiffer
very severely for their attempts to stir up a civil war
in the country.

We have private letters (but no public Wise's) to-
day from Paris, which state, that &a landing of
the Chouan Leaders in IA Vender, and the St.
tempts that have recently been made, and tire
still making, by the agents of the. Bouneom
family and the Governments i..imiestl to France, to
excite insurrection among the French people have
induced, and enabled the Government of that coun-
try to do it with every appearance °f jolitic. and' po-
licy, to issue the most rigorous orders for the arrest
of the Bot:alsow partizans throughout France, and ,
for the panishment of the insurrectionary leaders...-.
We have seen that the most active exertions have '
been made to stifle insurrectional commotion, and
we can well conceive the mischief *hid: the Bona.'
SONS have than brought on their confederates. We
bare also seen a Gentleman who left Paris on Friday
last, who informs us, that, although there are cer-
tainly parties in France, two in particular, for and
against NAPOLEON personally, 'it is perfectly hope-
less for any party to attempt the overthrow of his
Government. lie has succeeded in getting an im-
mense majority in his favour, in consequence of the
1 general belief that the Allies want to enslave
Francs. Their Proclamations, and those of the
Bon:Isom particularly, our informant says, have
I done their cause us,,re berm than any thing else. The
Republicans have sworn never to allow the BoultaoN
dynasty to exist on the French throne—they set in
their return the demolition of all that has been effect-
ed by the Revolution, and the stamp of shame and de-
lfeat placed-upon all their efforts to get rid of the hated
family and their institutions; and the oldest of them,
rather than submit to this odious rule, have rallied
round the throne of NAPOLEON, who had ceased to
I be a favourite with many of the republicans after his
assumption of the regal authority. At Dieppe, says
this Gentleman, there was a great sensation against
i the Emperor; but at Paris every one and every thing
was in his favour. The indignation against TALLEY..
BANK was beyond all bounds—caritatures and pta.
1 cards, holding up this, Minister to scorn and con-
' tempt, abounded everywhere. Tazzassams is be-
! tiered to be the author of Louts's Proclamations,

and it may not be a very erroneous coejeeture to
suppose that the ha9d of this master Jesuit l
has had a considerable share in the composition of
some of the other Proclamations, which we have ;
lately seen given to the world. We do not say this
from the ability we see displayed in the Royal issues
to which we are alluding. All the talent of Courts
may be expected to be mustered upon such occasions,
but we have other Piens to judge by. It is rather sin.
collar, however, that the Boerteos Court and its '
Allies cannot make their stories tally, better. The
Botarao sr Proclamations say thecoalestea Seventieri I
want nothing but the restoration of Lours XVIII. I
to his Throne, and that that will be deemed securlly
sufficient for the peace and happiness of the whoio
human race—the Allies, on the contrary. a y.
such thing, but tell the French people that thq
will drub and dragoon them into obedience to their
sovereign authority ; and it is shrewdly suspected *at
better securities, for submission in time to 4man-
----,1
will be exacted by them, if successful, freteralee
French nation, than the feeble and procerioes grts•
ratites of Louts'SVlll. or any of his family.
This leads us to notice the Proclamation which
FsaesNAsre of Spain has thought proper to issue
against BOsiliteaTs, explanatory of 66 the justice,
the importance, and the necessity" of the Rill
of Srain's going to war " to oppose the aggresaieem
of the Usurper Bottlyann." This Deataradols
smells strongly of Ghent; and with all dee deign:ace
to the abilities of Page Ctlret.LoS and the renowned
FERDINAND, we suspect they have had a loaf sent
them from the school of Lours. Fsents.ive, Who

Heilbronn. The same day a regiment of foot, of the
Grand Duehy of-Itesie, left Heidelberg to proceed
to its destination. The 3d battalion of Austrian
Chayseurt, of Bavaria, passed through Manheim yes-
terday., on their way from Treves to the Upper
Rhine.
SWITZMLAND, M.% v 17.—The soldiers of the 3d
regiment, which is at Bergdosf, and of the 4th,
which is at Berne, become daily more numerous.
The Regency of B.rne, to celebrate the happy re
tarn of the Ot6cers of the 4th regiment, gave them a
grand dinner the day before yesterday. A table of
120 covers was served under a tent. Two Swiss, In

the ancient national dress, stood sentry at the en-
trance. The toasts were given to the sound of can-
non.
In the evening there was a brilliant illumina-
tion,
with insciiptions in honour of the victories of!
the Beresina and of Paris. A similar fete was given
last week to the Officers of the 3d regiment of Burg-
dorf.
The French Lieut.-Ceti. Count Damas is, at this
moment, at Berne.

on the Throne, is the only means of giving happiness
to Frenchmen." A Gentlemeti who has arrived
saw 200 copies of this pamphlet bought by one per-
son, avowedly to distribute gratis. The " Memoire
Justificate of the Duke of RAGUSA, selling in. all
the shops of the Patois Royale, contains eapreesions
against BONAPARTE, such as if in :England wet•
directed against the Sovereign, would condemn the
author to a prison for yeits: There are also Joan-
nate, as free in their remarks on the Government
as in England. This we are assured of by our
Correspondent, though we have seen no such pa
pens ; and he says, that it is no slight proof of the eon-,
fidence which BONAPARTE feels in his personal
secu-
rity, that animadversions, which no other Fotentate
in Europe would permit, are suffered freely to cirf
culate. It is only against the commission of overt
acts against the government that measures have been
taken ; and it was sorely time, when,. according In.
report, 30,000 stand of arms, together with a large
sum of money, were delivered to the Chouau Chiefs,
with which to excite insurrection in the coentry.
