mander otthe Danish contingent : he de.
parted again in the night. On the oath
the Duke returned, 10 be present at the
tete which The Prince of Hesse gave in no.
nour OF his Sovereign's birthday. A mag
efficient entertainment, at which a great
number of general officers were present.
The Danish troops were in grand parade,
and reiterated salutes Of artillery announ-
ced in their cautonments the solemnity Of
the day. The Duke &C Wellington return
ed atterwad to his headquarters at Cam
bray.
From the Rhine, .Ioy 10.
The report that Prince Eugene Beau
harnois is to be made Dgke of Leuchten-
berg, in Bavaria, shews at least that the
loudly pronounced aversion of the nation
| to serve as an indemnity for foreigners
| caused the idea to be given up of making
him German Sovei eign.
The custom house in Alsace assume to-
wards the frontier states truly ultra Napo-
leon tone. S;practce chicane in tlle most op-
pressive manner in the daily intercourse,
particular y on the Rhine to Stasburg, Sc.
They even carry their insolence so far as
to attempt to make the foreign post-oflices
answerable for what they send, instead OF
confining themselves to visiting the parcels
ondeliverinS them TO those to whom they
are directed; several times already they
have stopped diligences, arrested the dri-
vets, and threatened coufscation. In
vain are orders expected from Paris to put
an eud TO those veXatiOus proceedings.
Branslcick, Nay 6.
Within this last fortnight above fifty VIII
lagos in this and the neighboring countries
have suffered more or less by fire, & in most
them there is the greatest reason to suspect of
that these fires are the effect of malice, A
great many suspicious vagabonds have
heen already taken, the pursuit of whom is
now rendered more difficult by the forests
being IN full foliage but the circumstance
that these fires happen Just at The time
when the forests afford secure retreat, de-
serves the greatest attention.
Eienan, .Uay %.
According TO letters from the Levant,
N. PATH, Swedish Charge d'Afairs is
not satisfied respecting the navigation of
the Black Sea by Swedish vessels, though
secured BIZ the treaty of 1905. The Di.
van, il IS true, has given up two vessels
which lad been detained, at the same time
that the treaty. in consequence of non-u
sage, was not binding, and that Sweden
had 10 right to appeal to it.
Frontiers of austria, Hay II.
An Ordinance of the Emperor permits
the expectation of specie from Austria
The course of exchange at Vienna is not
yet improved. II has fallen again. Two
ago It was quoted at 347 Sd on Augs-
burgh.
Iortona, Nay 20.
The Sd Article Of the Treaty Of May so,
ADD the 99th article Of the Act Of the Con-
gress of Vienna, form at present the sub
ject Of warm discussion between the Courts
OF Sardinia and Austria, with respect to
the notifications which the latter wishes TO
raise. The intention of Austria is Ia
make Placentiaa fortress Of the third class
This our Court opposes aud insists on the
danger which might arise to the States OF
Piedmont, if the neighbouring Duchies
we're covered with fortresses for Austria
also wishes to place Bardi-Campiaht and
MOnte-ChlampOIe ON respectable footing,
which would nearly render her mistress OF
the Apprentices. We are assured that the
lquestiOn will be brought before the Diet Of
frankfort, to be decided under the media.
