MARCH OF FRENCH TROOPS LM-
re SPAIN.
MURAT PROCLAIMED KING OF Ma. F,
PIES.
We have received Dutch papers to the
18th, and series of the Monteur to the 9th
instant. The grand Duke Of Berg, Murat,
was proclaimed King OF Naples on the first
instant. Should the Princess Caroline, his
wife, and sister of Napoleon, survive her
consort, she is to succeed to the Throne
! The new king has commenced his reign with
issuing Proclamation, in which he declares
his intention to abide by the constitution pro-
muigated by his predecessor, king Joseph,
and guaranteed by Napoleon. 1t thus APP
pears that poor Joseph, to use homely
! phrase, is likely, between two stools, TO come
/ to the ground for his throne OF Spain must I.
/ be allowed to be rather precarious inhe-
ritance. Napoleon, however, will strain e..
very nerve to establish him on it. He IS
pouring troops from Italy, and the south OF
France, into that country. Even the Paris
guards are ordered for that service. Every
possible means of expeditiug their march are
resorted to, and it is computed that the
French army in Spain will amount TO $50,
900 men. The Paris and Dutch papers at
length admit something of the real state Of
Spain. They confess that the connections
in it are not yet appcased; but they add
that they are not dangerous Ii they are not
dangerous, how comes it that an army OF
10000 men is necessary to aDpease them;
but it is not on the side of Spain alone, we
trace the perturbed spirit of Napoleon.---
Every Part OF the Continent i= ~ STATE Of
preparation for the renewal of hostilites.---
II Poland Silesia, as well aa.alorg the course
of the Eistula and the Oder, we find that
Bonaparte's troops are in motion. Nor is the
Austrian government less active in their ex-
ertions to meet the impending. shock. From
CarnIola and Trieste, TO the northern cir.
cles of Bohemia, not only military efforts
are making. but circumstance which We
consider with at least equal satisfaction, rcs-
timonies ofloyalty, alacrity, and attachment
to the state, are exhibited BY the people
If the spirit which has animated the inha-
bitants of Astm'ia, of Arragon, and of An
dalusia, can be kindled in Hungary and Au-
lstria, the further progress of usurpation, ty-
ranDy and crime, is arrested We are vii
ling to hope that the example of Spain, and
the experience of Austria, will in fact, illu-
inmate the administration of the latter counJ
try, and lead them to repose hcnceforward
for protection againt revolutionary arts and
tactics, not on armies and fortresses on,
ly, but ON the affection and interest of the peo.
pie.
The Emperor of Russia appears to rival
Bonaparte in the severity of his regulations
against commerce. BY Il recent Ukase, no
loaded vessel, Of any nation whatever is
: alawed to sail from Il port biockaded by thu.
English. The Swedes are said to have
made an unsuccessful descent on Finland.
The Russian Minister Alopeus, wholately
miscorducted himself so'much at the town Of
Stockholm, is appointed Chamberlain, and
has received other marks OF distinction from

An Hclgoland Mail arrived, last n.., -
with letters and papers from Hamburg to
the 10th inst. The extracts which we have
made, serve to show the contemplate state
of ignorance, which in every country accom-.

pcarfrom them, that the affairs of the French
go on prosperously in Spain and of the fti-
gitive king Joseph, they know nothing bur

pies An article from Cotstantinople affects
to say, that Gag OF truce from England was
