determined to profit by the advantages he possessed,
and to commence hostilities.

They add, that the King of Naples, perfectly in-
formed of the intentions of his enemies, decided on
listening to no proposals. He possessed positive
proofs that preparations were making by the Bour-
bons, both in Spain and France, to invade his kingdom
at different points. That the mission of the Count

Polignac to Rome, had for its object the passage of
15,000 men, who were to debark at Civita Vecchia;
that the Pope had consented on the condition that
the Marches, the Legations, Benevente, and Poste
Corvo, should be given to him ; and that M. Talley-
rand, forgetting all the interests of his old masters,
hid occupied himself at the Congress conbatting for
the claims of the House of Bourbon on Naples, and
had succeeded iu persuading the Emperor Francis,
that his only means of preserving his possessions in
Italy depended on the expulsion of Joachim, and the
restoration of Ferdinand IV.

It was certain that Austria had consented to the
passage of 50,000 French troops through her States
to attack King4Oachim, and had decided on employ.l
ing 150,000 men for the same purpose.—Thus, the
King of Naples, abandoned by a powerful Ally, on ,
,whom he had a right to count,—attacked on all sides
by ;he Bourbons, had no longer any thing to expect 1
but from open war. For it results from these facts,'
that the limbo's' bad °rested against him a most
dangerous enemy in Austria, who was bound to him
as an ally, It is then for that family, who could not
sustain e'en for one year a Throne so miraculously
recdtered, that the Emperor Francis has exposed !
himself to the loss of his Italian possessions, by his
treachery towards a faithful Ally !

What a lesson is this for the future ! and what
dies it not teach that Prince to guard himself against
the solicitations of the Bourbons, and the intrigues
of th`bir Ministers !

nts form MpiWrisou of oar city. It will be aug-
mented to-flierMP by two others which Arrived at
Broni, and are proceeding hither in alt haste. The
Neapolitan troop, bare their hmul-quarters at St.
itazare, a mile from here. All the gates of the city
re shut, except that of La Trebbia. The King of
Naples arrived to-day at St. Lasare, and has sum-
moned us to surrender.

The greatest consternation reigns amongst the
Sardinian troops, who have not been inspired with
any confidence by their officers, who followed his
Majesty from Sardinia.

All the bastions and ramparts are well defended;
buf. goo! engineers are wanted. We have here a
•rev, aoasiderobte perk of ertillerp which the Ki
of Maple appears to covet.
The citizens mount guard over the prisons, and are
charged with the maintenance of good order. The
people are tronquil.

The Neapolitans may enter when they will. They
have not to combat the troops which passed last year,
and defeated those opposed to them in the clays of
the 13th and 18th.

The Neapolitan army is estimated at 123,000 men,
and is every day recruited by the military who have
formerly served. We are assured, that a column of
25,000 men passed the Po yesterday at Cassl-Mag-
giore, and marched upon Cremona, whilst General
Campana holds the Austrians in check upon the left
bank of the Po and the Mincio.

The Austrians appear to make great exertions for
the defence of the right bank of the Po, before our
city, where, it is feared, the Neapolitan army will
endeavour to pus the river before the time of occu.
potion.

It appears, from the rumours which are in circula-
tion, that the Neapolitans will march by the Appe-
nine mountains, and direct their course upon Genoa
and Alexandria. It is non this last city, it is be-
lieved, that the troops are directed, which are to
pass the Trebbia.

It is said that the instant the Neapolitans are
masters of St. George's and the Castle of St. John,
they will march upon Stradalla.

VERONA, APRIL is said that corps of ha-
lieu troops rally round the standard of Independence,
and occupy the defiles of the mountains which lead
to the Tyrol.

The grand enterprize Which bits been etecuted by.
the impulse of the Neapolitans and by their courage,
has caused to disappear all sentiments of rivalry
which were entertained by the different nations.—
Italy will now be One, and Free.
Austria is assembling considerable force In Croatia.
NUREMBERG, APRIL 15.—The Archduke Charles
arrived here to-day.

The first column of Austrian troops, under Prince
Colloredo) has arrived at Ratisbon.

Papers received to-day :
&calms, APRIL 21.--By order of the Duke of
Wellington, a bridge is thrown over the Rappel, to
facilitate the passage of the German troops, who
are comiog hither. Lord Wellington found Ypres in
the best state of defence. The grand head-quarters
are expected to be fixed at Ath.
The works of Antwerp are prosecuted with great
activity. :Six thousand labourers are employed in
raising intrenchments before Tourney, 5000 before
