10 the Duke Of Lodi:
8 Italy engages my attention am as

men. My people of the Kiagdom Of
Italy ought to be certain that neyef

them. If imperious causes have rcn,

consequences.
We learn from our Correspondent at
Harwich, thata French Gentleman has
arrived from Holland on an important
missian to our Government. We can at
present say nothing further.

Lord Castlereagh sets off for the
Continent on Monday accompanied by
the Hon. Mr.. Robinson. AS yet little
has transpired relative to the causes Mat,

Cabinet to undertake sach mlssIen.

our CABINET has been chiefly remarked
since the arrival Of foreign officer in
the Russian service, Gen. Pozzo de
Borgho He is reported to have been
sent with explanations of the views, pc,
hey, and int ntions Of the Allies: and TO
prevent the delay incidental to written
communications, or Couriers, Lord Cas-

diaie, and unre served explanation OF the
principles and objects OF the British

Speech, the less sanguine arc we that
peace is likely to be made, aad we arc

the Allies, and subsequently nearly the
same basi, was understood to have been
proposed with the addition OF the re.
treat of the French armies out OF Ger
many this was rejected. The march
of events compelled Bonaparte TO do
that by compulsion which be had re-
fused to DO from choice, and he was
driven behind the Rhine. A lew days
after he had arrived at Mentz, an officer
was despatched to Frankfort with de-
cl.raticn of his readiness to open nego-
tiation upon the preliminary basis which
had been proposed by The Allies. The
akered situation of the Allies made them
reject this new overture on the part OF
Boaspaite; but in ,heirturn they are said
70 have made offers to him, TO which
they allude in general terms IN their de-
cIara,ion, viz: to make The Preach En-
pire larger than France ever was under
the reign of her Kings. In reply to this,
Bonaparte is reported to have consented
to the independence OF Germany and OF
the Pepinsula-a mighty concession
from him who has no longer iost oil
ground in either Of those countries.
This proposal it IS said to have been
answered by declaration on the part OF
the Allied Soversigns, that one OF the
main basis on which they would insist
was, that the French empire should be
bounded on that side by the Alps. Per-
