Lower Rhine, April 2Jk—General Dob-
scliulz is liourlv expected at Aix-la Chapclle
to assume the military government of the coun
tries on the Rhine given to Prussia, and to or-

ences at . iege betwe p n generals Bluchcr,
Gneiseann. Thietmann, &c. With tVe excep- j
two of the school of Alfert. two of the Polytech
nic school, two companies of the school of St.
Cry and six companies Of foot artillery.
Coips of partisans and independent elirps
are organizing in a great number of depart
ments. An adjutant-general will be charged,
near every general-in-cbief, with the correspon
dence with these corps, which, if the enemy has
the temerity to penetrate within our territories,
will throw themselves into the forest and in the
mountains and support themselveSiiy the strong
places.
The organization of the levy en masse of Al
sace, of I, orraine. of Messin.of Franche-Compte,
of Burgundy, of Dauphinv aud of Picardy is
prepared Lieutenant-generals, camp-marshal*
and a great number of officers of the troops of
the line are charged with' it, as also with the
command of the levies.
All the cities will arm theipselves in self-de
fence ; they will follow the example of Cha-
lons-sur-Saone, of Tournies and of St. Jean de
Losne. Every city, even those not fortified,
will betray the national honor, if they surrender
to light troops and do not make the best possi
ble defence according to their means, until
the arrival of infantry and artillery forces of
such a magnitude as tha^ the laws of war
would require all resistance against them to
cease.
The 60,000 seafaring mpn, who formed the
crews of the vessels of war in 1S14, will be re
organized into regiments commanded by cap
tains of vessels. One part of these troops will
be employed in the squadrons ; another part
wili be charged with the defence of the
coasts ; another will augment the army of re
serve.
Every thing is in motion in every part of
France. If the allied powers presist in the pro
ject which they announce, of making war upon
Us ; and if they violate our frontiers, it is easy
to foresee what will be the fruit which they will
gather from that attempt against the rights of
the French nation. All the department will

VieHna, April 22.—By a courier who left
the Head-Quarters of the army of Italy on the
14th, the following intelligence is just receiv
ed :—
“ It was indispensably necessary to clear
j from the enemy the point of Ferrara, which
from Dunkirk to Charlemont, are armed and I inglast
provisioned. The sluices are put in order,
and the inundations will be extended at the
first moment of hostility. Field works have
been ordered in the forest ofMormale. Meas
ures are taken to make entrenchments in the
different passes of the forrest of Ar^one. Eve
ry place in Lorraine is in a state of readiness.
Entrenchments are constructed at the five pas
sage* of the Vosges. The fortresses of Alsace
are aimed. Orders are given for the defence of
the passe; of the Jura and all the Alpine fron
tiers. In the interior, the places of Guise, La
Fere, "V itry. Soisons, Chateau Thierry, Lan-
gres are arming and fortyfying.
They have even ordered thai works should be

of cannon ^ They wiil be first constructed of

The conduct of Murat was the subjected of though Ambrosio’s division had hastened te \
discussion in both houses last night, and the
motion in each for the production of the papers
was agreed to. It was curious to see the confi

ring, and the chop-fallen manner in which they
retired from it after the punishing they received
from lord Castlercagh. At last they bad bat
one resource left—to be in a passion ; but we
do not apprehend they are very much satisfied
with having had recourse to it. Even Mr.
Whitbread was not very lengthy, a circnm-
