ThePrulfian General, Count de Schulcn

«s follows; • 1
u It has been stipulated in a treaty con.
eluded between his Pruflian Majcftv my
■- mod gracious mailer,' and his Majesty the
Emperor of the French and King of Italy,
that the ports of the North Sea, and also
the mouths of the rivers which empty them

navigtion and commerce, as they weie
during the time that the French troops
occupied the Stares of Hanover. I publillr
the pretext by order of my august fovercigri,
to serve as a rule to all thole whom it may
concern. It has been enjoined the troops of
the king my master, to refufe entrance- to

LONDON, April 7.
It is very much feared, that the war with
the Mahratta States is renewed. Intelli
gence to that tffed is said to have been
brought by a palLnger, arrived from Cal
cutta in the Hamburgh (hip John Parift,
which ara ved from that place 2d of Decern
ber, This gentleman landed at Kinfale*
He Hates that Scindia has rcjedled in tyto
all the overtures made to him and his adhe
rents by Sir G-. Barlow, in confcquence of
which the whale of the European forces had
been marched up the country, on their way to
the upper provinces.
April to.
The contents of the Paris papers are of
confidcranle importance. Ere yet he has
atchicved the entire ednqueft of the Napo
litan territories, Bonaparte has bedewed
them upon of his owi family, and Jofcph
Btnapanc has been elevated to the throne of
Naples, which is to defeend to his heirs
male. He is to preserve the dignity, of
Grand Eleilor of France, and the rights as
sured to him by theConftitution of the Em
pire, though the Crowns of Ftanceand Na
ples are never to be united upon the fame
head.
Paulina, ci-de-vmnt Madame Lc Clerk,
. now Printer's Borghefe, and her hulband,
a.c to have the Principality ofGuafiella.
Marlbal Berthier, the constant compan
ion of Bonaparte, is to be rewarded by the
transfer to him in full fovercignty, of the
Principality of Neufchaiel. Mafia, Carn
ano, and Ofargnano, arc to be united to
Lucca, which, erefted, into a Principality,
is to reward another of Bonaparte’s Gene
rals. Parma and Piacenza ate to de divided
info three Principalitiesor Dachies. Twelve
fiefs or feudal Duchies, are created in the
Venetian Tertltoiies, and fix in the Neapo
tan. The Venetian Duchies are Dalmatia,
Iftria, the Frioul, Cadora, Belluno, Colcg
liano, T/evifo, Feltrc, Bafiano, Vicenza,
Padua, and Rovigo. Thefts are destined to
reward the services cf Bonapartcs Generals ;
but the new Dukes are not yet named.
Laly is to be defended by Ftench troops
until (he has created rm army of her own.
Thecxpenfe of maintair.ig them is of courfc
tube defrayed by the Italian Tteafury, which
is to remit to the French Tteafury monthly,
about 1 oojocol.
Theconqucft of the Neapolitan territory
is not finally completed—Gaeta still holds
out. The Neapolitan army, which retired
into Calabria, was not capable of making
fuccefsful refinance to the Fienth divifiuns
which were detached after it. Probably a s
principal motive fiir retreating into that end
of the pensnfula was the hope of obtaining
a readier pa Cage to Sicily, General Damas,
it would appear, did not think it prudent
to maintain himfclf in the strong pofuion he
had ta! ccn ; the numerous redoubts were a
bandoned without a shot. These articles
trem Naples fay no’.hingof the Princ* Roy
al and h;s h;othcr ; we may therefore con.
elude that they have efFeded their retreat to
Medina. * Bonaparte continues to indulge
his unmanly and brutal rancour againit tKe
Quetn of Naples.
The German Princes arc moved about by
Eonap-.rtc with as much facility and nonch.
alanre as men upon chefs boards. The
Archduke Ferdinand was t® have Wertz
burgh, as an indemnity to him for the loss
of haltzburgh ; but that arrangement has
been deemed improper. The political
player docs not elude to ha\e an Austrian
Prince so near the Aullii*n terriiones. The
Archduke is to have the Principality ofFul
da, and the Ptime of Orange is to be moved
to the B’fltopric of Ofnaborgh. The Pope
is also to nti-kc a move —Bonaparte having
no further occasion fer his services, is little
folir itous about pfcafing or dipleafing him,
and he and :he conclave are to take their
final leave of the holy city, and have an
eftabltlbmettt jn the Venetian territories.
The dominions of the church will enable
Bonaparte to create another kingdom, and
to increase the number bis feudal duchies.
Bur, whilst he is parcelling out Germany {
and Italy, h ; s reftlefseye is .fixed upon an
other foutcc of plunder and partition. He
is ambitions of adding another diadem to
those he hss already usurped, and to fit
down upon the throne of Conftantinc. He
will soon burst open Turkey, and it is for
this purpufe he is collcfting a large army in
Dalmatia ; 45,000 men are already aflem
bled there. But Turkey will not fall
without a blew; and though the disturbed
state of her provinces, & the licentious cha
mber of her soldiery, forbid our expelling
that (he can hetfelf make any effeftual refill- I
ance'to the Erireh troops, yet Ruflia will i
not fuffer her to fall an easy prey. Aware !
of the intentions of Borytparte, the Emperor
Alexander is taking the nectfifary precautions,

and has steady felted a very important pofr.
By the 23A article of the treaty of Freiburg,
the mouths of the Cattato were ceded to
France—the French troops were on their
march to take pofleffion of them, but the
Ruffians were before hand with them, ap- #
peared suddenly before Rocca di Calabro,
which commands the months «f Cattato,
lummoned the Aaftrians to farrender it—
the Andrian commander immediately gave
it up, allcdging that he was n*t ftrongt
nough to defend it. Bonaparte, however,
we dare fay, will confider this surrender as
the confcqaencc of an undemanding and a
greement between the courts of Vienna and
Petetlburgh, and will express his difplcafure
t» the Austrian government.
Meditated Ajfajjination of
Bonaparte.
On Monday night, the 24'h ulr. s ft rift
feardh was made by the Magistracy of Ham
burgh, assisted by the French Minister and i
all the French inhabitants, throughout the
whole of that city and its environs. Every
hotel, inn, and public houfc was infpefted
with the rnoft pointed ferutiny. At an inn
of thcfscond fort, a French officer was sei
zed, whose appearance accorded ftriftly with
the defciiption in the hands of the Police.
On his being arretted he immediately ex
claimed, “ Take me, and do what yon
please ; I have dfferved to fuffer more than
you can iufiidl for my aiikwardncfs.'’ He
then confdfal that he had ftred twice at
Bonaparte, oh the evening fuccecding the
battle of Auftcrlltz, hut jinforttinately riffled
him. t n the affair taking wind he deferred,
and had got to Hamburgh, whence he in
tended to have failed for England. He
was immediately sent effby the quickest
conveyance to Paris, where an inevitable
fate a wits him.

to the famous Carrington Bowles, of print

The Major had lived so long among the
Canadian tribes of Indians as to become
more than half savage himfclf. Long em
ployed by the American minitters and their
American governors, he bed perpetrated a
number of mifehiefs and cruelties cn the
peaceful and defrnct less frontier inhabitants
of the United States; went to England for
a few years, after the revolutionary war;
was again noticed and employed, and bur a

he was betrayed and taken up by a party
of his fellow.favages, delivered torheSpin
