Things, it was said, were carried to such a lerrn.ii that the Emperor was obliged to lend the Arch duke out of the way, and make him leave Vienna for a ‘ C \pril-o. The late event; at Vienna have spread the -rested consternation at Raftadt. It is much to be tended that they will give rile to a war which will involve ? i) Germany in ruin, h appears that Bernadotte is already vj'ivcd at Raftadt. troubles of the Swiss cantons dill continue, particu larly in the neighborhood of the lake of Constance. On the -■jd of Germinal (April 12) 500 peasants attacked the town of Arbon and massacred the Members of the confti tutcd authorities. . _ ‘ London , May 2. The associations in the cities cl London and Westminster are become so numerous that it is calculated that at the end of the present month there will be upwards of 40,000 armed perlons in the metropolis only independent of the regulars. Those who enlist comprehend all descriptions of rank from the peer to the artisan. The disturbances at Vienna having in the present crisis much agitated the public mind, we are happy to add the following extract from another letter relative to that event, dated April 14* - , _ .. “ Count Fergen, Minister of State and General Police, has iflued the following proclamation, re inciting the affray which yederday took place in and before the French Am* baffador’s palace: “ Flis Majtfty the Emperor has received, with the ut most fatisfaction, the various proofs of loyalty and attach ment manifefted by the good citizens of this metropolis on so many occasions since his accefiion to the throne; and these proofs are the more plealing to his paternal feelings, as they were always attended with love of order, propriety of conduit, and a peaceful demeanor. For the fir it time his Majetty learned yelterday, to his great displeasure, that feme inhabitants of this’ capital, deviating from the path of lawful order, and led affray by an ill judged zeal, allowed themselves to fcommit several acts of violence in the house of the French Ambassador, and to disturb the public tran quillity and peace. His Majesty expects that from this moment no well disposed citizen, either direitly or indi reitly, will encourage * any farther assemblage, but on the contrary will exert himfelf to the utmost extent of his abi lities to restore order and tranquillity. But if, contrary to liis expeftation, any inhabitant of this city flionld attempt again to disturb the peace of their fellow citizens, the fame {hall be prosecuted and punished according to the utnioft rigor of the law.” The Directory, it would appear, with to avoid committing themselves upon the bufinels at Vienna until they I hall have had more time to deliberate; for the Redacteuv is silent rabe&ing the official steps that have been taken in coni’c t. r. nce of the affair, and the unofficial journals only have been resorted to for the purpole of proclaiming to France tie lively sorrow of the Court of Vienna in consequence of a lawless act of the Nobility, which it altogether disa vows! A letter from Raftadt, of the. 21st of April, dates, that on tire Bth a treaty of offenfive and defenfwe alliance was concluded and fignei between the Emperor and the King of Prulfia. It is not, however, conceived that this alliance has for its object the renewal of a continental war. Its only object is to concert measures refpectmg the indemnities to Ire required by the two Courts of Germany, and to op pose with combined force the propagation of Republican principles on the right bank of the Rhine and left of Ger many. It is also dated that Gen. Hatry’s army has passed over to the right bank of the Rhine, and that the Prullians and Helfians have likewise made several military movements. May 7. We are happy to state the arrival of Sir Syd ney Smith, who reached the Admiralty yeftefday afternoon, at a quarter part one o’clock, in a poll chaise, from Ports mouth, (to which place he made his escape from France on Saturday evening, in a as astonishing a3 it w w for unite) accompanied by Mr. Wright, his Clerk, and a French Emigrant, who were confined in the fame prison with him, namely, the Temple, at Paris. The circum* fiances attending their fortunate escape, as far as we have been able to collect them, were as follow: The three pri soners were ordered by the Executive Directory to be re moved from the capital to another part of the country, Alter travelling in a carriage a few leagues they came to 2 small totvn, where there was a serious election riot, Wiiich the Municipal Officers in vain attempted to quell. The guard over the captives were called upon to assist, while the drivers and all the inhabitants were directing their whole attention to the tumultuous scene palling. This fuvoraole moment was seized by the prisoners, who left the coacn and elcaped out of the town. The Emigrant knew the country; lie through by-roads, and in the night they took shelter in a wood. In this way they tra velled upwards of 100 miles, calling only at feme oil feu re wine houses to refrelh themselves. Sir Sydney’s perff.<ft knowledge of the French language, and his unembarrassed behavior, secured them from suspicion, and facilitated their escape. At length they reacted the coast, which the Emi grant was well acquainted with. In a small creek they found an open boat with oars, into which they inftantjy jumped, and put to sea .without loss of time. After tugg ing and rowing till they were almost worn out tiie Argo frigate, Capt. Bowen, hove in light, to whom they made tne best ngnals in their power, and happily they were taken up, and lafely landed at Portsmouth on Saturday evening, from which place they immediately set off for town. On their arrival at the Admiralty an express was sent off to arl Spencer at bN imbleton, who came to town irrtmedi utely. His Lofdfliip warmly congratulated Sir Sydney on is ewape, and invited him to dine with him; previous to ..-ueu ite enterprifmg Knight paid a- vrfit to the Prince of ate . and the Duke ot b ork. Sir Sydney is in good * - H, but his appearance is in fome degree indicative of .everidcs he has endured. -May 8. His Grace the Duke of Grafton has not only Uened to fumifli his waggons and tents to Gbvernmenti of emergency, but has also e*prtffed his deftre to forage all his neighbors and tenants to aifift with their team; as far as may be ia --hear power. In the county of Bedford Lord Ongley, Mr. Trevor, and Mr. Whitebread, raise each cf them a troop of yeo manry* ‘flie town of Bedford railes a troop of volunteer cavalry* The Duke of Bedford has also made an offer of particular service to his Royal Highness the Duke of York for his Majesty’s fenice, to which he waits an answer. His Grace likewise proposes enrolling a body cf pioneers, and engages to promote and encourage the formation of the yeomanry of the county. ’A meeting \vas held at Newmarket on Sunday last, after* divine service, for aiding Government in case of invasion, purluant to the regulations of Mr. Dowlas's defence bill, when die inhabitants all came forward in a very laudable manner for that purpose, and moft of the laborers offered , their services to act as pioneers, or in any other capacity that may be deemed necessary. Monday last there was a refpe&able meeting of the in habitants of Slowmarket, at which it was unanimoufty a greed to form a volunteer corps of infantry for the defence of that town and hundred. The farmers of the parifii of Tarvin, in Chess Ire, have feta noble example to their brethren throughout the king dom, in having entered into an agreement that they will, at a moment’s notice, in case of actual invasion, or immi nent danger thereof, their refpeifive teams, with able horses and drivers, for the service of Government, free from any payment or gratuity whatever; and the numbers of each which they bind themselves lb to fur nidi are 39 waggons, 68 carts, 347 horses, and an adequate number of drivers. The French prop’ ,etefs Labrouffe, who went’ to Rome in 1792 to predict to the Pope his approaching downfall, was by his orders imprisoned in the castle df St. Angelo, from which (lie was released by the Roman revolution. But the refufed to quit Rome till the year 1800, before which time she foretels that events will come to pass still more extra ordinary than those which we have witnessed. Such pre dictions are easy and fafe in an age of wonders. ExtraSh of a letter from Yarmouth, May 7. “ On Friday night the town was thrown into serious a* lavm by the landing of a large party of seamen from the Proserpine frigate, who with cutlasses and pistols assaulted the inhabitants, and carried off 53, of all descriptions; a bout one half of them are sent to the fleet of the Texel.” SHERIFF’S SALE.
