stipulations of the treaty Of Presburgh,.

Bavarian peasants are continually at work
on the entertainments, and 81 pieces of
cannon, of large calibre, are already
mounted on the batteries. This hostile
demonstration, to which the occupation of
Cattaro by the Russians has given occa-
sion, was expected. In the mean time
the French generals have again declared,
that they will leave Brannau as soon as the
Russian troops shall have evacuated Dali
malta. The court of Vienna, in conse-
quence, yesterday dispatched the Courier
Laforet to ST. Petersburgh but il is be-
lieved that it will find IL difficult to extri.
cate itself from the embarrassment IN
which it is placed by The late events.
A courier from Palermo lately arrived
here. We are not without inquietude orr
accounted the demonstration OF Bonapa :
To seize the island of Sicily but all pre-.
per measures have been taken there 30
oppose descent. The strait is covered
with Russian, English, and Neapolitan
ships, and The utmost efforts will be made
to prevent the island from falling into
the power Of The French. 1t is at this
time, especially, that the English feel ak
the importance oftheir possession OF Nal.

We are assured that the French have
likewise demanded of the court of Vienna
a passage thro' Croatia.

pears 10 be considered here as inevitable.
