FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE .
NAPLES , Jane 2 . ON the 17 th ult . a Royal Ordinance was published here for a general arming of the Country . Hh Majesty has likewise issued a Manifesto to the Bishops and Prelates , of which the following is Ihe substance : " The long-protracted War , which has brought calamity on so many Nations , and occasioned the effusion of so much blood and tear * , is not merely a political , it is a religious War . Our enemies are the enemies of Christianity and
Christendom . Not contented with having- abolished Religion in their own Country , they wish to extirpate it from the earth . " Religion , which teaches us our duties , must likewise inspire us with courage . We fight against those who have made War at once on our property , our laws , and our religion . I will myself give Ihe most conspicuous example of courage and zeal in so good a cause . I will place myself at the head of my loving subjects for our common defence , in full confidence of the protection of the King of Kings , and Lord of Lords , who guides the hearts of Princes , and enlightens them with
prudent counsel , when they call , in sincerity , on his holy name . Yet will I omit no human means to secure the peace and tranquillity of the People committed to my government . Yet . mist wc be prepared for every event . We wi'l negotiate for Peace , but with arms in our hands , that we may not be compelled to accept mean and humiliating conditions . Send me , therefore , your support to this useful end , and require your Diocesans to afford their assistance to me and my Troops to repulse the Enemy , should they attempt to enter our Frontiers . ( Signed ) , " FERDINAND . "
In consequence of these Proclamations , the whole Country is in arms . Our Army of which the greater part is already advanced to the Frontiers of the Ecclesiastical State will amount soon to 100 , 000 men . Even the Lazaroni have declared that they will exert themselves to the utmost to defend their King and Country . WETZLAER , July 4 . We are again thrown into the utmost consternation , since the French aro
advancing both from the side of Nieuwied and the Sieg . Their four corps , which , under the orders of Generals Lefebvre , Kleber , liertiadotte , and Champignet , arc in full march against this place and Franckfort , are said to amount to 80 , 000 men . General Wartensleben lies here ill with the gout , and the Imperial army , which covers this town is at present commanded by Generals Colloredo and Kray Although this array has lately been reinforced by six battalions from Mentz , yet it does not seem sufficiently strong to hazard a general battle , and will probably fall back at the nearer approach of the French .
EIILANGKN , July 4 . This day the Prussian troops took possession of the suburbs of Nuremberg-, and all the outworks belonging to that city . Agreeably to several decisions of the Chancery of the Empire-, these lines and suburbs should have been given up toBrandetiburglikmgago , as belonging to that Margraviate by right of Uurggrave ; but Nuremberg !! refused to give them up till now .
