him propositions he • was charged with from Marshal
Murat.

A meeting fnr the next day Wks appoihted on the
rat of 1E11014., General ISianciii requested me to
attend it, and in the absence of the British Com-
manders in Chief, both by sea and laud, I con-
sented.

met therefore the Duke de Gallo with General
13iatichi, on the mortihvg of the 19,h.
Cie conversation which ensued with that Minister,
led :o no odic' result than in having given the Allies
an opportunity of swing in him the grounds, on
which alone they would ctiglge to arrest their mili-
tary movements._ _ _ .

stutA that lie had no antlioritv to treat
on any basis of the itatcro so announced to him,
the Duke de G.illo *curried In Naples, having re-
ceived, however, an assurance, that any proposi-
tions General Carracosa might wish to make, should,
in the course of tloa folloling day, be received.
The meeting with General Carrascosa took place
this morning. General NiopOerg, on the part of
Austria, General Collette, on that of Naples, and
myself, is tire absence of the British Commanders in
Chief, negociated the Military Convention.
On the part of Naples, propositions were at first
made tota:lv inadmissible; on our part the abdication
of Marshal Murat was insisted upon. General Col-
lette wished to secure for that person a safe retreat t .
France, but finditr, that such was totally impossible,
and having declared that he bad no authority from
Marshal Murat to treat with regard to him, the Con-
vention, such as your Lordship will receive it, was
agreed to.
It is inaposs:ble to conclude this dispatch, without
calling your Lordship's attention to tilt manner in
which the campaign, now terminated, has been car-
ried on by General Bianchi. The activity with
which he has pushed his operations Is almost with-
out example. The constant successes which hare
attended his arms, are crowned in the satisfaction
of his being able to re-establish the authority of the
legitimate Sovereign, without those misfortunes to
the country attendant on protracted military opera.
Lions.

With regard to Marshal Murat, be is stated to
be in Naples, General Bianchi has declared that he
must consent to go to the Austrian Hereditary States,
where his future situation will be fixed; no answer
whatever has been received from him.
(Iter.- follow the Articles of Convection, the terms of which
have already been made public.)

Brussels Papers to the 4th instant, arrived this
forenoon. They prepare us for a speedy commence-
ment of hostilities on the northern frontier, where
the hustle is increasing, and a formidable column of
the Russian troops are said to have arrived. The
follon lug are the ar•icles thus received :
GHENT, N 1.- l'he Secretary of the Russian
General Baron de Sicken, sets out to-morrow to
join the Russian army, of which the first column, of
30,(X)0 men, was to arrive on the 30th upon the
Rhine, before•li eh). A second column follows close
behind, as well as all the other corps of that brave
army, which is coming from the remote regions of
the N,)rth to the assistance of the South of Europa.
The union of all these forces on the Rhine announces
the speedy commencement of hostilities.

The Duke de Fettle, as Minister of War to Louis
XVIII. has ordered all officers and persons attached
to the army, now at Ghent, without a special per-
mission, to return to their cantonments without de.
lay ; those who shall arrive here in future cannot re.
main above 24 hours.

Ar.ovr, JUNE I.—Yesterday the Duchess of An-
gouleme came to A:ust to see all the troops of the
King of France, which were assembled there to be
re►iewed by the Duke de Berri. Her Royal High.
ness was accomp:inied by his Royal Highness Mon-
sieur, and by the Duke of Wellington.
NUREMBERG, MAY 26.—The King of Prussia has
ordered hi; Guards, united with the Russian Guards,
to proceed %rill' all haste to Aix-la-Chapelle.
BRUNSWICK, MAY N.—Another Prussian corps
of re,erve, of 15 or 20,000, will be formed in the
environs of Et forth. Numerous waggons with am-
munition daily pass through Berg on the route to
IVesel.

131tWiSELS, JUNE 2.—His Majesty leaves this city
to-morrow to go to Liege, and thence to Maestsicht,
ovi Lie Kay to the Hague.

Marshal Victor, Duke of Benun°, passed through
ycs!Prday, frnin Aix-la-Chapelle, and going
to Ghent.

lluesnr:Nr, MA 1. 2 4.—By theaccounts from Vienna,
it appears, we may flatter ourselves with the hope of
seeing the King return to Dresden before the end
of this month. The Prussian Authorities, it is
a:firmed, have already received orders from Prince
Ilarclenberg to be n-ady to quit this capital. It is
supposed that the Prussian seat of Government in
Saxony will be fixed at Nlersehourg, while the Com-
missioners of the two Sovereigns will make the parti-
tion of the debts, and draw the line of demarcation
between the two States.

RoMe, MAY 13.--The Pope is expected home
immediately after Whitsuntide. General Nugent
has caused the arms of the Pope to be put up at
Porte Coro. In a secret recess in Mnrat's coach
there have been found money and jewels to the value
of two millions.

The Austrian Minister attending the army, Count
Sauran, has ordered the Provisional Government in
the three dopartments of Rino, the Lower Po, and
the Rubicon, to be continued. On the other hand,
Urbino and the Marches seem to be restored to
the Papal Government.
13En LT NT, MA Y 16.—The new Constitution for the
Proscian Monarchy has been declared by his Majesty
not liberal enough for the Prussian nation, and has,
therefore, been pleased to alter several parts of it.
Tile introduction of a national representation) the

liberty iof the press, and many other arrangements
for the goad of the country are sanctioned. On the
gth of May, Marshal Marmont came to Aix-la-Cha-
pelle to drink the waters. The Military Governor-
General, Von Dobschutz, is stated to have announced
to him that he could not allow him to reside at Aix-
la-Chapelle, or, in general, in the G rand Duchy of the
Lower Rhine, without a sped d permission from
Prince Blucher. The Governor is said to have oh-
jccted also to the residence of Marshal Victor at
Aix-la-Chapelle, who has Leer there for some time
4o drink the waters.

VIENNA, MA herr that the Saxon
of Cession was in print the &iv hefore yesterday. The
Austrian plan for the future orAarsizatia.n of the
German empire is finished ; wl;ether it vrill be n.creed
In is lint certain. The departure of the Sovereigns is
fixed for the 23t1). Nlinisters will stay, it is
said, 10 or 12 days longer. The Empress of Aus-
tria will accompany the Emperor' as far as Munich.

The morn7ng has produced no fresh arrivals of Pa-
pers from France. Those received yesterday, the con-
tents of which we gave so copiously that it is unne-
cessary to return to them, brought the intelligence
from Paris up to Saturday. The two Rouses of the
French Parliament met ors that day—on Sunday the
Emperor was to receive the Electoral Colleges and
the Military Deputations—on Monday he was ex-
pected to open the Session of the Legislature-and
on Tuesday he was to take his departure fur the
army. Events of the utmost importance will attend
his steps. The French nation, placed between war
and disgrace, has relieved him from the restraint
which his moderate offers of peace have hitherto im-
posed upon him ;—the twenty-eight millions of men
who have been doomed to the most ignominious of
fates, for daring to choose their own Sovereign, in
rebellion to the supreme will of the Powers of
the Congress. now urge the man of their choice
to throw back the bold defiance, and roll the
surges of war over those bounds, within which the
troubled elements of indignation and discord might
have slumbered and expired under the milder in-
fluence of peace. The convulsion is at hand—the
war of liberty is again begun, and its enemies have
cause to tremble—tremble may the frail fabric, co-
lossal as it may appear to Iw, which Imperial hands
were raising for the entombment of the rights of na-
tion?, and the liberties of mankied. France will
not bear the yoke which was attempted to be im-
posed upon hcr, and she has means to resist it.-1
What yoke' it a iit be asked—the return of a family
to sovereign rule, the expulsion of whom anti whose
system has cost France oceans of blood—the system
of feudal rights, 'which makes thousands of human
beings as much the :laves and property of one man
as the beasts of the &Id—tithes and tyranny, the
preservation.. of which has entailed such misery on
Europe—which gave Russia to the wasting hand of
self.destruction,and extended the scene of desolation
from Asia to Paris. To resist the imposition of this
system the whole strength of renovated France is
again marshalled—six millions of men, at least, are
deeply interested in resisting this system, by the
obligations which the preservation of their estates
and property imposes on them-600,000 soldiers are
ready and eager to combat for their nation's honour—
and a line of fortresses, fully garrisoned and repaired,
oppose a barrier to invasion, not likely to be easily
passed. In fact, we cannot believe that whatever
may be the eventual result of the war, it will not be
decided by the overwhelming of France in one cam.
paign. Our Treasury Cotemporariec style the Champ
de Alai and the establishment of the Imperial French
Government a farce—it is a performance, however,
that may last a little longer than the run they are in-.
clined to give it ; and which, regarding it as they
do, is likely to turn out a tragedy• • r soMo of the
Powers of Europe.

By referring to our Plymouth Letter it will be
seen that another act of hostility has been committed
by this country against the French. The Khie fri-
gate sailed from Ply mouth, on the 29th of May, on a
cruise off the French coast, and witliin two days
afterwards captured the Alexis French brig, from
Rouen, bound to Eves'. It must therefore be pre-
sumed, from the above dlte, that the Rhin had M-
miralty orders ; and us the last prize sent in by the
Desiree frigate to Portsmautn, on the 21st ult. has
not been released, war may be considered as begun.
The Alexis above-tnentioned is commanded by
Captain M ir.Lor, and arrived at Plymouth on Mon-
day.
Our Deal Letter inform us. that a French Gene-
, ral and two Aids-de-Camp have been landed at Mar-
, gate, by the Hart,7 sloop of war, from Ghent. The
•
object of their mission has not transpired.

Yesterday morning Mr. Yot; RES, the King's Mes-
senger. arrived at the Voreign Office, with ilispirclies
from Vienna. A king's Mecsenger was afterwards
sent olf to the PRINCE RECENT at the Ascot Heath
Races. Mr. Ct.otrn, the Messenger, was ordered to
hold himself in readiness for a Foreign jouropy in
the evening.
A private letter from Paris confirms the account
that MuaAT has actually artived in that City, but
still it is doubted.

Several fortresses in the hands of the Russians
which were ngreed to be given up to the Turks ac-
cording to the last Treaty of Peace, have never yet
been surrendered. since the return of I\IAP()LEOV to
France, the Turkish Government hare reiterated
their demand of them, and their object is likely to
be obtained.
