The Hamburger mail, and French and Dutch
papers to the 2la and 26th init. have arrived.
Inc french are not yet complete matters of
the kingdom of Naples. The fortrefs of Gas.
ia holds out, and the prince royal at the head of
about $4,000 regulars, and levy en- MALE, to
the amount 100000 more has taken various
itrong petitions in Calabria. 1t is alto nated,
from Rome, that the Rufiians and Englih who
lately retreated from Naples have relanded in
that province.
March 81.
French and Dutch papers, the former to the
esd, the latter to the 9th inf. reached us on
Saturday but few facts of any intereft are to
be collected from them. 1t is only in the ex-
tremity of Italy that we arc at prefent to look
for any military events and the intelligence
from that quarter is both fcapty and contradic
tory. The official paper is fient as TO the
progrets of the French arms in Calabria from
which 1t may be concluded, that the reduction
OF the kingdom of Naples is not vet completely
effected. Under the head of intelligence from
Naples, the furrender of Pefcara, and the eva
cuation of both the Calabrias, are mentioned
but the fubfequent part ofthe article contradcts
this is, information, and afrms, that fomething
quef of the kingdom 1t does not feem that
the blel1ing of a French government has been
received by the NrapoIitans with the gratitude
that it fhould have been for prince Jofeph,
&" notwithstanding his natural clemeue,," has
been obliged to banilh and incarcerate fome of
the principal inhabitants of the capital I'VE
fhall be much disappointed ifthe prince royal,
at the head or his twenty thoufand regulars,
and the Calabrian Levy en- MALE, do not oppofc
reiiftance to the invaders, that will, fucceed or
not (the former we fearit cannot be) throw the
efforts OF the other powers of Europe, Rulfia
excepted, far behind.

Mtditated H1,6fnation Of Bonabarte.-On
Monday night the oath March, frict fearcb
was made by the Magifracy of Hamburger af.
fitted by the French Minifer and all the French
inhabitants, throughout the whole of that city
and its environs. Every hotel, inn, and public
houfe was nfpeeted with the mott pointed firm
tiny. At an inn of the fec ond fort, French Of
fcer was feized, whole appearance accorded
hriGtly with the defcripton in the hands of the
Police. On his being arrefed, he Immediately
exclaimed, stake me, and do with me what Won
pleate have deferved to fufFer more than YOU
can lnillct for my aukwardnefs." He then con-
feded that he had twice fired at Bonaparte on
the evening fucceeding the battle of AnfterIitz.
but unfortunately mIfed him.-On the affair
taking wind he had deferted and had got TO
Hamburg, whence he intended to have failed for
England. He was Immediately fent off by the
quickeh conveyance to Paris, where his ipevita
bic fate awaits him. A mot refpeGable native
ot France, who came over i'm the lalt HAMBURG
mail, was very nearly topped at the fame time,
under inipicion of being implicated in this af-
fair, but bad the good fortune to be FILTERED to
proceed on his voyage.
The fame evening Altoona experienced fimi.

party might have crofTed the River.
No circumttanCe is more ftranye throughout
the whole of this extraordinary affair, than the
profound oblivion it has been buried in for Cuch
length oftime. II f1ews, however, how much
the channels of communication throughout the
Continent are governed by Bonapsrte and we
have little doubt, but the fate of this unfortu.
nate perion will be equally myfterious.
