RICHARD ROBINSON. My 13* iBc6* ( 3 t) ’■ I . ' r HAMBURGH, April 2. ’* ThePrulfian General, Count de Schulcn burg, published, on the 28th, at Hanover, «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 felvcs into it, Ihouid be (but to Englilh 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 all finglifh (hips which (hould present themi fclves in the find ports and rivers, smd •to hinder the introduction of Engli/h merchan dize," 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-.

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, ' - * t . I • V 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. From the London Gazette.
