FRANCE. PARIS, NOV. SR. Count PHILIP COIINTZIL, late Ambaffador of the Emperor of Autiria, to his Imperial M jefiy the Emperor of the French, paired through Nancy on the t c•ft i.lfhtst, on his way to Germany. M. DELA ROCHIFOUCAULT, the late Ambalfador from France to Vienna, arrived on the 6th Novem ber at Ratifbon. It is fuppofed that he will fhortly return to Paris. In confirmation of the advices received of the diai fions in the Imperial Houle of Auftria, and of the oppofition of the Archdukes to the afloat fyftem of the Cabinet, under the Controul of the Emprcfs, Ruffia, and England, we are pofitively effused, that the Archduke CHARLES was not, before the agth of Oltober, invited to return to Vienna. The Court waited, until the left moment, to recal this Prince to tie Alliance of the capital; and while it had the fmalleit hopes of fuccefs in Germany, it never ceafed to weaken the Archduke, and to give him up, if we may ufe the phrafe, to his courage, and the affeaion of his army. We are as yet unacquainted with the refolution taken by his Royal Highoefs, upon the tardy invitation he had received. Nov. s 3 know to a certainty, that the head. quarters of Martha' MASSENA were at Udine, and that the pafrage of the Piave and the Tagliamento was not difpnted. The army of the Archduke CHARLES is retreating in diforder, and has not at tempted to defend one polition, fince the affair at Caldiero, and the station at Vicenza. A number of Anftiian deferters arrive every day; they are in the moll deplorable Rate, half-flarved, lick, and com- ' pletely brcken down. Although this intelligence is perfettly confirmed, we do not give is as official.-- Until Ibis day, the Bidletin.r of the army have been pat/bed in the konitestr, and peed in the Capita!, by order of Go vernment. It it only from thefe that we can difcover their authenticity.—(Gazette de Frans, Nov. 23.) We are kill without any intelligence from the Grand Army, fince the Bulletin. from Moelk, of the tgth Brumaire (November to.) We cannot attri bute this delay, in the fubfequent Bulletins, to any thing elle than the rapid fucceffion of the important events, which the march of the army to the Capital of Auntie mutt have produced. In the mean time, the intelligence from the Grand Army has been anti cipated by that of the Army of Italy, received yef terday, to the 22d Bt umaire, or 13th November. A frelb Bulletin of the tall army, brought with extra ordinary rapidity to this Capital, from alma the very extremity of the former Venetian Continent, an nounces the continuance of the very important ad vantages gained by Marshal Masses* over the Arch duke CHARLES. The march of the Marfhal. from the Brenta to the Piave, was only übltruaed for a fhort time ; and even the palrage of this laft River was effected very eafily. It was the fame with the further march of the French army to the banks of the river Tagliamento, behind which only Prince C MARL s attempted to make ferious refinance. There was here, on the 12th November, a (harp anion between both parties, and a brifk cannonade from one bank to the other. The fate of battle, however, declared this time once more againfi the Auftrian army,which, in the night, retreated from the Tagliamento to Palma Nuova. The French troops wero t therefore, enabled to pars that River on the next day (the pal! fage of which they had prepared to force), and to continue to march in purfuit of the enemy. The following is the official account of thefe events : SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY. " At the Head quarters at Paiferisno, sad Brumaire " Year 4, (Nem. t:„ iBos.) " The army.in its mare' towards the Piave,met with only flight oppofition; from the Piave to the Tagliamento, they perceived, flying bekre them. fame corps of cavalry, which appeared to ob ferve them, but who retreated in filch a macaw as to avoid any • " lowa, at the Tag!lament° that the enemy appeared inclined to wait for us. They bad affembled, on the left bank, fix regi ments of cavalry and four regiments of infantry ; and their firm front led us to fuppefe, that they were determined to obilinately difpute thk_patag - of the River with us. The Commander in Chief at fiilt only intended to reconnoitre their pofition with the cavalry. The divifion of chaffeurs commanded by Central pagne, that of dragoons and cuiraffiers, under the orders of Ge neral* Mermet and Puny, were ported on the River; while the divifions of Dutiefme and Sens marched by St. Vito; and chore of Generals Molitor and Gardanne, took the diredion of Valyafone. General D'Efpagne had received orders to pulk forward his pa -4 troles. On the lath November, a fquadrvn, which he had or ' dered to crofs th.: River, was charged by a regiment of AdtriAll3 cavalry; it bravely fupported the attack, and gave time to Ge neral D'Efpagne to advance upon the enemy, who were foon re pulled, and obliged to fiy. Our artillery, neverthelefs, took its pnbdon; the cannonade began from both fide] of the River; it was very brilk, a..d continued during the whole day. The ene my had placed thirty pieces of cannon behind a bank ; we had only eighteen ; and our artillery preferved their ufual fuperiority. The divifions of i. fautry arrived in the evening. The Commander in Chief, fathfied with the advantages be bad obtained,and which fecured to him others, did not think proper to effea the paffage of the River. lie contented hintfelf with making his difpofitlons for the net day, convinced that he could then atchieve fomething more decifive. The divilions cock their appointed pofitions at St. Vito and Vairafune ; it was at thole two points that they were to pats the Riser. turn and cut off the enemy. Prince Charles, no doubt, was arririiiive of this intention ; he did not think pro per to remain th..• day in hit pofition, and at mid•uight he began to retreat by the Road to Palma Nuova. " The army paife,i the 'Pagliamento, with the regret that there wart no enemy to engage; aid it was then that it became better acquainted with the rank of the preceding day. The left bank of the `.titer was coveted with met and holies, which were Selteuyeel ...-.. .. _ by the tired o' our anal , r l . “ 'the army continues its march; the hope of meeting and en. gaging the enemy inereafes their impatient ardour.

MONTKIBUL-SUR-Mla, Nov.. t5.--The day before yelterday 54 Englifh prifoners, being the crew of a brig which was obliged to fur render, in confeqnence of a !hell thrown from one of the forts on the coal}, arrived at Samer. There prifoners marched the whole of the day, and were in extreme want. Samer was not a halting place, and the Mayor had received no order. to give th..m affiltance: The inhabitants, ' however, informed of the diltrefs of there inform [ nate people, vied with each other in giving them, come, bread ; Come, meat, and 4 few, money.

Nov. 16.—His Excellency reeves has ordered the following order of the day to. be publiihed " The Martha. Commander in Chief, informed that the evil-difpofed endeavour to impede the Inge. nization of the National Guard of Mayence, in pro. pagating the report that it is intended to pals the Rhine on a remote fervice, takes the firß opportuni ty of contradiaing there diforganifing infinuations, by fnlemnly averring, that the King his Majelly does' not give fo much latitude to the obligations which'he requires from his brave fobjeas. It is to the defence' of Mentz, and of their hearths and their property, that the zeal and courage, of which they at prefent give Duch favourable omens, are to be particularly applied." ULM, Nov. ts.—On the night of the 13th, two French regiments of infantry, and a divifion of dra goons, who ercorted the Aurlrian garrifon of Ulm to France, arrived here. On the nest day they con tinued their march to join the army of Martha' NET in the Tyrol. It was yel}erday reported, that twelve or fifteen hundred Auflrians, with tome cannon, appeared on the Alp, in the neighbourhood of Blaubcren. It is fuppofed that there troops belong to the divilion under General WoLTSKEHt., and that they were cut off from Bregentz, by the movements of the army of Martial AUGEREAU. FA t/ LT I Ea, the French General of Artillery, died on the 7th infant at Nordlingen. BANKS OT THE DANUBE, NOV. 16.—A letter from Memmingen, of the s zth, contains the following intelligence : " The advanced guard of the feventh divifion of the army, under the orders of Marfhal Ano la BAU, entered Markdoff and Ravenfpurg this day ; to morrow it will arrive at Lindau and Bregentz.— General WOLFSEEHL, whole corps WAS principally compofed of cavalry, is retreating with his infantry. His cavalry is of no nfe to him in the mountainous country of the Vorarlberg. General JELLACHICH is entruned with the defence of the higher dinties of theVorarlberg, and particularly of the famouspofition of Feldkirch. As he cannot elle& a jun&ion with the army of Prince JoHN, except by paffing over mountains of uncommon height, and rocks tremen• doufly abrupt, and which have been to this day inaceefiible, he has, it is raid, determined to defend himfelf to the lad extremity. The taking of the Low Vorarlberg, or of that part of the country which borders upon the Lake of Conliance, cannot be fuccefsfully contefied with the French." Letters from Ulm, of yeflerday, inform us, that " General WOLPSKEHI. wifbed to maintain his poll. tion before Bregentz, but that he was defeated by Marfhal Aucaaaau, who has at prefent his head quarters at Bregentz." The city of Lindau, famous for its indunry and commerce, fituated in the centre of the Lake of Conflance, has furrendered to Marfhal Auoaaaau without refinance. Woxeses HL'S corps has fallen back upon Feldkirch, to form * juniftion with Gene ral JELLACHICH ; his cavalry, fixteen hundred in num ber, has &aped lonic days fince—has pallid the Da nube, and remaining in the Wartemberg territory. has obarated the communication upon the high road for fome days part. Some of his detachments yef terday advanced as far as the environs of Ulm and Guntzbourg. We are Allred that a French column is now in purfuit of them. We learn, by private letters from Infpruck, that the French advanced guard extends beyond that place. as far as Zirl. The Auftrians are at Tells. There are continual fkirmilhes between there two places. The Archduke Joan is polled upon the Brenner, at the foot of the Schoenberg. There is a numerous corps of French in the environs of Infpruck ; and, as the country people are IEII under arms, much precaution is neceffary. Martha! Nay has defcended into the valley of the Inn, there to form a juneion with the Bavarian troops, and a detached column of Blawa novre's. A contribution of 300,000 florins has bees impofed upon Infpruck ; but upon its being repre fen* to Marfhal Nay, that the country was inun dated with the Vienna Bank bills, and that there was au abfolute fearcity of cafh, he generoufly gave up the claim. All communication between Infpruck and Italy, With Vienna, is now completely intercepted . FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, Nov.

FRANIEFORT, Nov. 20.—We have received the f o l. lowing detail of the oper.itions of the Aultrian Ge neral WOLFSKEHL. This General, who was Rationed near Biberach, when Ulm capitulated, &II fell back to the Vorarlberg, and was afterwards at Lentkirch, in the rear of the enemy. When the ?tench ad vanced into the Tyrol, and their entrance of Infpruck compelled him to change his pofitinn, he formed the manly refolution of penetrating with his cot psthrough Suabia, towards the Danube, and to pal; that river by the fame route which the Archduke FERDINAND had before purfued ; viz. through the Upper Pala tinate, to Bohemia. In his march, General WOLFS NINE fell in with AUCIREAU'S corps, much fuperior in numbers ; he, neverthelefs, fought his way through them, though his infantry Coffered much on the occalion. However, on the 16th, about tsoo of his cavalry had arrived in ilifery upon the left thane of the Danube, between Kreilflitim and Donkerfbuhl, and were proceeding in their march to the Upper Palatinate. Another letter from Wurtzburg, of the t yth, men tions, that the Elearefs of Bavaria, having left that place for Munich, had fuddenly returned.

H•MCUIOH, Nov. 22.—Not haying received the Vienna letters of the 13th, it is thought the city is in the potreffion of the enemy. Letters from Bram), of the 17th, mention that circumflance as having taken place on the taut, though, at the fame time, two rumours highly contradi&ory were afloat. How ever, it h certain, that the Emperor of Ruffia paired through Breflau in great Nate for Brunn, where the Emperor of Altana and his Court have taken up their relidence. Count GIULAY'I propofal to the Emperor Navot.aes for an armiftice of fifteen days, we are told, was anfwered by another, for an artnif tice of four weeks.with the pareffion in the interim of the Venetian territory and the Tyrol.

Government itfelf was impofed upon, and continued to believe it authentic till the arrival of later accounts from Holland. There can be no doubt that the forgery was com mitted by perfons who wifhed to make an impreffion, on the Funds, and the idea certainly was not ill-con ceived. The forged Letter was conveyed on board the FLoaa frigate, Captain Orwav &also, by a Dutch boat, and by him it was tranfmitted to Admi ral Russsi, who fent it to Government. It was received by Minifiers with fo much faith, that a mef fenger was fent off to the King at Windfor, and of ficial copies were circulated in great profufion among the frieudi of the Cabinet, foreign Minifters, Bte.

In the preceding columns we have given large es trans from journals to the dates mentioned above. The communication between the Grand Army and the French Capital appears to have met with fome interruption ; no intelligence from it, fithrequent to the toth, had been received at Paris on the 24th ult. This interruption was occafioneci, we &mild fuppofe, by General WosysaeHL, who had fought his way through a part of A u luau's army,into Suabia, of which he had fuch uncontrouled poffeffion,as to have obliged the Eledtrers of Bavaria, who was on her route from Wuttzburgh to Munich, to take fhelter in the Margraviate of Anrpach ; in that very terri tory, the neutrality of which the troops of her huf bind fo fcandalonfly violated.
