LONDON:
FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1815.

•
A Hamburgh Mall arrived this forenoon. The
chief articles of interest which it brings, are some ru.
mours of fresh disasters to MURAT, and confirmatory
statements of the intelligence, that the Court al
Austria has concluded a treaty, by which,. as far
as treaties will secure it, the throne of Naples is,!
to be secured to the Bourbon King of Sicily.—
The Allied Powers have him to set up and keep,
up too. This, however, they say will now be easy,
for " it was reported at Milan, on the 29tb, that I
by a new victory Motives retreat to Naples has been
cut off." We do not believe it. Is this new victory
that General Gagnon" alluded to when he an.
flounced in his telegraphic dispatch, that " the King
of NIPLU had obtained a great success over the I
enemy."—lt will be seen by the following extracts
that the Austrians are confidently calculating on
speedily entering Naples :
VIENNA, MAT 3.—A Treaty is concluded between
ithe Courts of Vienna and Palermo, by which Kind
Ferdinand is to be secured in the possession of ids
hereditary throne of the two Sicilies. Some earlier
accounts have stated that Ferdinand's eldest son was
'to be King of Naples, and that it was settled that I
Naples and Sicily should never be united under one .
sovereign. His Majesty will also be recognised by
all the Allied Powers, mull solemnly proclaimed. ,
ST. Prraessulloll, APRIL 23.—Yesterday her Ma.
jesty the Empress Mother granted a private audience
to Count IVinzingerode, the Ambassador of his Ma.
jesty the King of Wirtemberg, in which he formally '
solicited, in the name of his Majesty, the hand of her
Imperial Highness the Gland Duchess Catharine
Paulowna,Duchess Dowager of Holstein Oldenborgh,
for the eldest SOll of his Majesty the King of Wit-
; Lemberg, the Croon Prince, Frederick 'William
Charles. This union was already settled in Ger.
many, in previous interviews between the Illustrious
Personages interested in it.

The War Message from the Crown was not
brought down to Parliament last night, as expected,
but Ministers gave notice that the ratified Treaties
of Alliance for War, which have already been laid
! in substance before the houses, will on Monday
next be submitted, together with ft Message from the
Crown, which will be taken into consideration on
Tuesday. The Subsidiary Treaties are also to be
submitted, and will be discussed on Wednesday..
The money engagements on, the part of this country
are known to be heavy, for the finances of our
Allies are in a most miserable state. The wants of :
the Contracting Powers in this respect present the
best criterion of their strength. The Earl of LITER.
root. stated, that the Declaration which was affised
~larthe Government of this country to the Treaty of
Vienna, has been approved by the Allies. As to
the overture from NAPOLEON, his Lordship stated
also, that the Congress of Vienna had entered into
no negnciatiou in consequence of that, and that we
Lhed entered into none likewise. It thus appears
that so obstinately were the Allied Powers bent on
prosecuting the war, or so much did they despise
the power of NAPOLEON, that even to reply to his
proposal was too great a condescension from the dig.
nity of the High Allied Powers. It thus appears
likewise, that they profess to be all of the same mind !
still, though NAPOLEON . is now unquestionably
firmer on the Throne of France than ever. We
!grant that the French soldiery may have motives for
their attachment to the Government of NAPOLEON,,
which the people cannot he supposed to have; but is I
it not now past doubt that the French people are
heart and soul with NAPOLEON ? Can there be a
stronger proof of this than the confederation of the
inhabitants of the Fauxbonrgs St. Antoine and Mar. •
cesu, and the. other confederations of the people
who have enrolled themselves in the ranks of the
military, and are prepared to fight in defence of the I

66 Frenchmen! from my head.qoarten, in the
midst of a formidable army of veteran soldiers, I
raise my voice in the name of your King and his'
Allies, to recal you to the sentiments of submission
and peace(l). The misfortunes with which you arc
Jlltenaced, render this a painful duty, but the reward
will be glorious for me if I am listened to. In con.
letting on me the chief command of the Armies of
she North, the Allied Sovereigns hate invested me
with an honourable confidettee. I hare promised to
fulfil its ditties, and r will keep my word.
" Frenchmen ! —What do you expect by attaching
yonrseltes to the fate of the violator of treaties? of
a man without right and without power ? Do you
wish to render war eternal by following that Eagle
which feeds on and still becomes more thirsty of hu-
man blood ? Can ou he so much deceived, so much
misled, as to imagine, dial, contrary to all probabi-
lity, he will triumph over the whole of Europe in
the contest which he is madly preparing to maintain ?
No, Frenchmen, we cannot believe, we cannot sup.
pose, that his furious ambition cam have influence
sufficient so far to seduce you, as to produce a belief
in the success of his insane itrojects.(2).
" We know ha forces, we are acquainted with his
means. We do not deceive ourselves in declaring to
yriu that all his efforts will only serve to make him
tall with more.certainty into our hands. No, French-
men, I must repeat, it is not on the nation we mean
to make war, but on Bonaparte and Isis soldiers (3).
Woe to theni who shall join him: Woe to the rebel
proviouil Do not imagine that Bonaparte can brave
with impunity .the Sovereign Authority of so many
quancd Wads (I), by abusing with impunity, as
be Lag already done, their clemency; or that offended

ort.
" But did not these circumstances exist, one rule
- tare powerful would render it necessary to resume
srals a second time—that of punishing the factious
horde by which the present troubles have been
fomented, and which has dared to pronounce against
the unanimous wish of all the European Monarchies.
" Yes, Frenchmen, henceforth Europe united
and moved by the same interest, must form but one,
single power, and the Sovereigns a supreme corpo-
ration, upon which will be raised the solid pedestal
of the peace and happiness of nations. The rights
of the Monarchy will attain all from this august
Senate, and be consigned in its solemn acts.
" The nem of Louis XVIII is inscribed in this
federal compact. The Allied Sovereigns replaced
him on the Throne of his ancestors, and proclaimed
the reign of the famqy of Bourbon until its extinc-
tion, over the French people (6). They now take
cp arms to restore and confirm that dynasty—to
support this Cause of Kings—to consolidate the Go-
vriumestt—to secure the repose of mankind, and to
erre tan imposing example of sovereign authority to
nations. They will not lay down their arms until
