Jerome Bonaparte has pubbflied a proclamation, announcing the incorporation of i he Electorate of Hanover with the kingdom of Wiftphalia, and it is expefted that feveral of the provinces ceded by the Fmpt rov Francis will be reftored to Auf- tria on the marriageof his daugh- ttr to Napoleon.— Ihe Dutth papers, which announce thefe territorial changes, alfo antici pate others of great importance, as like ly to refult from this un ion ; and indeed it will not fur pule us to fee Auftria protruded into Turkey and new plans pre pared on that fide againft our pcfl* ftions in India, within a very lhort time. March 20.—The attention of the public on the continent is fo entirely abfc.rbed by the conn m- p'ation of the approaching mar riage between Napoleon and the Auftrian princefs, that every o- thcr political confideration is fuf- pended. The rumor of war between France & Rnfli i has wholly fub- fided. Lettershavebeenreceived from Petr rfhurgh, dated the 8d inft. Of war there is not the flighteft apprehenfion in that ca- • hi 1. Trade is fomewhat revi ved, the Exchange has advanced but not of a move recent date than tliofe which had already fupplied us with extrafts. If re liance can be placed on an arti cle from Tudtey, Sir Samuel Hood’s Iquadron ha I palled the Dardanelles. The Porte mud have been threatened with feme formidable operations on the part of the Ruffians in the Black Sea, to permit ihe p .11 igo of our (hips. The l yrcltfe inluigents have been driven from the re fuge they had tak n in Vienna, and feveral of them ai reded, by orders of the Auftrian govern ment. Thefe papers continue to be occupied at great length with accounts of the fplendid preparations for the nuptials of Napoleon, which, it is now un- derltood, will be celebrated at Paris on the 29 b inlt. Berthier arrived at Yunna on the 4th, & was to leave it again on the 15th, with the new Emprefs. The on ly notice taken of the affairs cf the Peninfula is the removal of king Jolc ph’shead-quartert rrem Xeies to Port St. Mary. Letters Irom Holland report that 'Bonaparte has agreed to give the Archduke C barks a kingdom, and the Dul< h are a- fraid that the Auftrui P:irce is to be the fucctfloT ol King Louis. If this fliould prove true, it would be not a little lingular to fie ihe General whole airny won the bailie of Afpern, employed in enforcing French decrees againft England. r l he report is evident ly groundlefi. Other letters of the lfcth Hate, tliai the immedi ate return of king Louis was ge nerally txpi fted ; the funds had riftn in confi qucnce, Notwi h- ftanciing all the coaft was cc<u-\ pied by Fnnch troops, viffels were pumitted to pafs fitcly from one port to another. ft he John Adams, American frigate, is to nmain at Cowes till to morrow, to tranfmit to tho American government the ulti matum of the pending negocia- lion between tile .Marquis Wei- i hfleyandMr. Fir.knty. It is fuppofed that the late hoftile conduft of France and her de pendencies towards American, fiiipping and merchandize, has removed fome of the obi'.ruc tions to an arrangement between \ the United States and i nis coun try. It has been conjeftured that this minider, on thji arrival of the A.inerican frigate on the coaft of France, v a s’’to embark and proceed in ’ ll0 i- 10 t b. c United States. It is true that the frigate will touch, at fome convenient French port to receive the dit- patches of the General; ar.ci it is not improbable that tlicy will contain an application for his re. call, but he will not return until he receives ordeis for that pur- pofc from his government.
