BANKS OP THE MAINE, FEB. 7L The Frankfort Journal lays, '4 The Court of Vi enna having paid the contributions that were re. quired by France, had arplied to the Emperor Napoleon, that the fortrefs of Braunau might be evacuated by the French troops. Four regiments have already received orders to march towards Up. per to take poffeffian of that fortrefs." PRIVATE LETTER.—ALTONA, FEB. t. 3. lsy mofi refpeaable advices from Stockholm, via Copenhagen, under date the 9th inf. it appears, that Bonaparte has been indefatigable in his attempts to make his Swedifh Majelty renounce his alliances.— Monier was his principal agent in dick dark and infidious neguciations, in which Napoleon prornifed to reward Swedifh perfidy with Nt.rway, which be- Lungs to Denmark, with which power the French feign to be on fuel' a friendly &wing. Theft bafc terms were patiently heard and tranfmitted to the Court of Malmoe, but being only verbal, the Swedifk Cabinet fent orders to have them in writing, Which requea was alto tomplied with. Hereupon the Swedilh Mo• starch fent copies of the perfidious offers not only to the Courts in alliance with him, but even to his neigh- bour the Danifh Coutt, who will now plainly per. ceive what it is to be the friend of fuch a being as Bonaparte. Suffice it to fay, that the terms were fcornfully rejetled by the Swedillt Monarch, who tent for ananfwer the following laconic lines ja tnais de ma tie, je druiendrai tele d'un brigand comme voser." l4 I than never in my life become the ally of loch a robber as you !" This anecdote is authentic, and communicated from a mofl unexceptionable fource. Not only with Sweden, but even with the Emperor of Germany, Napoleon ufes the fame dia bolical intrigues of (late, but with as little foccefs.— By refpeEtable private advises from Vienna, of the :ft itatant, the Hungarian army was arrived, in great part, over the Carpathian mountains, on the confines of Gallicia ; and all the temptations, and alluring baits, held out by the great defpoiler of morality and mankind, are rejected by the Aullrian Court. As the latter has paid up all the arrears of the contri butions due to the French, the fortrefs of Braunau will, it is laid, be delivered up again. " Private letters are laid to have reached Vienna from Cracow, that the Aultrian General, Baron Vincent, is gone from Warfaw to St. Peter (burgh. The exchange of couriers between Warfaw, Feted . - hurgh, and Memel, was more brifk than ever. Orders from Napoleon have been lent to the' interior of France, as well as to the confederate German courts, to fend troops to Italy, where great apprehenfions were entertained of a vifit from the Ruffians." ANO rHER LETTER, SAME DATE! "- It appears, that 4ft c r the battle.fought between the Ruffians and French on the 25th ult. at Nlultrin gen, in which the French were far from being yiElorious, the Ruffians retreated to get more tein. forcements, and returned to the field on the 26th ult. when they attacked the French telt wing under Monte Corvo, at Muhringen, and completely routed :rad repulfed it. On this occafion, the conttibution in money, which Bernadotte hid tailed at Elbing, fell into the hands of the victors. Unfortunately the Ruffian Li-attenatit General Anrep 101 l his life in the tint battle in Aiohtingen. It was the plan of the French, who were abfolutely without pro vitions, to proceed firaight to Konigfberg and every other part of Pr uflia. For this purpofe, Bernadotte, at the head of 3oco men, had entered Elbing, al lady on the 3 tfl, while the tell of the French left wing endeavoured to turn the tight i.f the combined ' Ruffians and Pruffians, in which they completely failed. Bernadotte (offered not only a teat .lefeat a: Moltingtn, but the Ruffians put toed him farther. • Matlhal Ney cam to his affiilance, but met with 01, Lime brave reception ; and the two Ftench corps, v ho were zo have wined the Ruffians, found thei: irvlc left wing turned by the combined effor ts c: the Pruffians, who are Rated to have followed up their advantages ; infonich, that the „whole left wing of the French was cut cff from every communication with the grand army, on the . 27th ultimo. The latter railed ,the blockade of Gran dentz with the utmoft precipitwion ; while the Pruflians, from one quarter, transferred ti.c thea tre of war, with their allies, frOm EaR .to. Weft and South Pruffia, fince the former occupied Mai ien ' werder, and the latter Culm, at the dillance of a few Englifh miles from Thorn. The Itiflians fi.l!owed the fl; ing enemy, who fell back as far as the Yittula ; where, however, ; all the bridges were broken and dragged away by the thawing !boa's of ice. The news•of a battle may, therefore, be hourly exreaed. "Mat (hal Kamenikoi, with the R Alan grand army, was alto faid to be advancir . g, from Byaliiir,ek, Of. trclenka, &c.. which places dlr. Freoch hed evacnatekl for want of neceffaries, to make a divertior. Tke number of couriers who have palled through Frank fort on the Mein in the night oft.he 6th init. were all to demand the acceleration of the ari ival of the con fcripts and other troops." General Visor, who is arrived a prifoner at Dant zic, will, it is Paid, be tranfported to St. Petersburg, at the exprefs requell of, the Emperor Alexander. The news of Count Bernftotff, Datiilll Prime Mi niller of State, having teceived the grand crofs of the Leginn .of Honour .from Napoleon, is untrue.

A Difpatch arrived this morning, by a fpecial Mellinger, from Lord HUTCHINSON, giving a full account of the Battle of Mohringen, and containing a complete confirmation of the account brought yef terday by Mr. A LOP EUS.
