From the German Articles in• the series of ilenitcurs which arrived on Monday, it apilears that Austria is as suming a menacing attitude against Turkey. The Ger man Papers that arrived on Wednesday, seem to make this at least certain, that the French troops are marching from the upper part of Italy towards Greece. and that Russia, as well as Austria, is making demonstrations against the Porte ; but whether for the sake of intirnidat ing the Turkish Government iato an accession to the pro ject agaiast England, or with a view to an immediate con quest of Turkey in Europe, it i• not easy to decide. But it should seem that the story of a scheme for the immedi ate dismemberment of Turkey, is incompatible with the report that leave has been granted to the French armies of passing through Asiatic Turkey into Persia. A French Artillery Officer of rank has lately written a letter from Dalmatia to a brother officer in the north of Germany, in which he assures the latter, that the expedi tion against the British territories in Vie East Indies will certainly go forward, both on the part of the French and Russians, whose combined armies are to co-operate.

The French General, instead of kissing his Holiness's slipper, only made him a bow ; when Pius sarcastically asked him Saito Catollco, Voir —" Arc you a Catholic Miollis answering in the affirmative, the Pope gave him the usual blessing. Bonaparte has granted domain lands in Hanover to no less than seventy of his officers, of the annual value of more than two and a half millions of florins. A man named Daphne, at present in custody on a charge of picking pockets, lately made an attempt to rob thr mail, in a novel and extraordinary way :—the London mail being near the town of Maidenhead, and the guard's horn being within hearing in the town, this fellow got close to the post-office, blew a horn so similar to the guard's, that the postmaster threw the bag nut of his window, and Daphne R ot clear off with it.
