By the reduction of this place, the French become matters of the. two banks of the Rhine, from ScafFhaufen to Dutleldorf.— The poflVflion of Mayence, Ehrenbreitdeiij, and Duffeldorf, opens to them the provinces of Franconia, Hesse and Wertphjilia ; and the king of Prullia is the tpvereign molt ex posed to the danger of being in the hands of the enemy. Every thing which was apprehended on the fide of Naples is unfortunately verified, On the 7th in ft. the directory communi cated to the councils the important news of the capture of Naples oil the 24th January. It appears certain that prince Frederick of Orange is dead of a malignant fever, which he caught in viliting the military hospitals. He died on the 6th ult. and not on the 26th of December.as. former French papers reported. At length the unfortunate king of Sar dinia has been permitted to let out for Tuf cany, whence he is to go to Cagliari,, in the island of Sardinia.

Such is the general torpor cf the continent of Europe, that the deftruftion. ot a state is now coiifiuered an evejit fcatcely worth recording. The w hole continent of A'frica, from Mo rocco to Egypt has at length taken tip arms against the French, at the instance of' the grand 'seignior. The dates ot Barbary and the emperor of Morocco are'not fatisfied with fitting out cortiirs, but have sent large bodies of troops to attack- Buonaparte in Egypt,' of whom the French papers ftarsely (peak. The two courts of the Porte and Ruilia continue their preparations of Avar with a bold perseverance which, cannot be too much admired. i he fittings of the two councils offer no thing very interesting. The'frequent de bates on the finances, oil the deficiency of the revenues, and on the necelTary requisitions, engage principally their attention. Nine Hamburgh mails still remain due. Six Dublin mails arrived yesterday after noon. Their contents are not of much im- portance. In the county of Kildare forne o'u t rages have lately been committed by the peasantry, and the oppofi'.ion tcr the union every day encreafes. The ■ fiibjedt of the union, which it was supposed would have engaged the attention of the Irish parliament on its adjourned meeting of-the 7*H inft. inconsequence of the resolutions moved in the British houl'e of commons, has not yet been resumed. There was no house on the 7th. On the Bth its attention was occupied by the read ing of feyeral libellous paragraph* from The Sun newspapers of the aßth, 29th, and 30th tilt, containing reflections on the Irifli par liament. r Mr. O'Donnel moved that t{ie papers of The Sun be burned by the hands of the com mon hangman, which sentence was ordered to be carried into execution as on Mondav last. ■ Thelpirit of hostility to the union dally spreads and shews itfelf in greater force. On the i ft in ft. the county of Ca-v&n came to re solutions against it, of which the following are the principal: Rfcfolved unanimously, ■ That no terms can be offered by Great-Britain lufficient to compensate to this kingdom for the loss of its legillature, and be they what they will, they must ever be precarious, al tliev will depend on the will of the Britilh parliament.

A letter froin the banks of the M<*j 11, dated the 29th of January, •contains the following article, on .this fubjeft: " The firft column of the auxiliary Ruffian troopj arrived on the 23d of January at Lintz, and Wfis to have cominued its march to., Paffau, where it was expefttd to arrive oii the 30th. The 2d column was expected here on the 3d and 4th of February, the 3d the 4th on the 7th«nd Sth." PalTaii is fmuted at the entrapce .of the circle of Bavaria. The march of the Ruf fians in this directioft appears to have been the caui'e of the note delivered at Raftadt on the 30th of Jinuary, by the French linnif ters to.the count de-Lehrbaah. Arcording v to a letter from Semlin, dated the 15th of last mouth, Pafwan Ogloti was ■on the point of opening th; campaign against the Turks*. Among the other extraordinary thing* which have .occurred for some years past, it is certainly, not the least, that a rebel,' fiip -ported only by J?rance, and who is destined by the diredtorv to be the principal instru ment of.the revolution Which it meditates in Poland, should maintain hirnfelf.precifely in the angle of cofitaft ; between the th-re pow erful empires ofßuffia, Austria and Turkey; while 20,000 regular troops sent by two firft to the alfiftance of the Porte, would have been fufficient not only to reduce hlrir to o bedience, but to annihilate him.
