There repeated loffes and defeats on the part of the Au ftrians, have produced a new armijite, which was concluded on the 25th ultimo, and is to be fol lowed with negociations for a peace between France and Auftria. The Archduke Ca etch, as a guarantee of the fincerity of Auftria has, as at the firing of the former Intake, given up to the Franca a number of additional fortreffes. Ye need not dwell on particulars, as the rub joined extraOs will put our readers in poffetlion of every thing that has yet beep made public.

The time at which they arrived, and their length, ren der it impable for us to fend off the number of this day to the departments ; but there dif patches are of fo interefting a nature that we think it our duty to fend a fhort notice of them to fuch of our fubfcribers as do not reticle at Paris, that they may participate in the happy intelligence as early as poffible. The General of Divifion Dx2sot.

They have every where found imtnenfe maga zines—the lots of the enemy in ammunition and baggage is prodigious. At Lintz we found to,ooo birreh of wheat, and 25,000 facks of oats. We are marching againft Erlach, and every thing Announces that the Auftrians are going to reform themfelves on the Trains, and. perhaps under the Walls of Vienna. • u In a fecond letter of the 26th ult. dated alto froin Steyer, General DI sscizzis informs the )(miller at War, that the Archduke Goetze s has propofed to General MOILIAU an Arntiffice, an nouncing to him that the Empalme was about to fends courier to Count Cossxrzaz with orders to fps a peace.

On the ifith, he came up with them irra firbitg pofition near Voneklaupick ; our troops charged them with to much vigour, that more than woo prifoneii, among whom were at leaft 600 cavalry, fell into our hinds; General LOPEZ who com manded thorn is among the number. On the r 9th, the enemy changed the troops that formed their rear-guard, and compared it of red , mantles, !lulu% and the huffaro of Mezurot, who had not been before t ngaged fince the opening of the campaign. With thele freth troops they en deavoured to defend their pofitions before Lam- Genend ltien spots& and his biave troops redoubled their vigour and intrepidity, the huLtoo, and the Mezurots, purfued by our cavalry, found that our infanti:y lid got in their front in the de file of Lembachi where they made a dreadful !laughter. The Colonel of the huffars was wound ed and fell into our hands.

(Signed) HAPLY CALVEITi A. O. The Infernal, by which BONAPARTE'S defiruc don was attempted in Paris, is a machine well known to thole acquainted with the hiftory of ar ullery and engineering. Internals have been con &tidied of various &mentions, and ufed both on terra fins and on (hip-board. The firft inventor of them, or at leaft the fir(t who put them in prac tice, was Frederick Jambelli, an Italian engineer, at the fiege of Antwerp, under the Duke of Na me, in tsBj. A very particular and interefting relation of their wonderful effeets is given by ST.RADA, in his Hiaory of the Belgic war. The great dettruCtion made by thefe caufed fcveral others to be tried, but none of them b) any means fucceeded. At Dunkirk and St. Ma. loo's they were tried by the Engin ; and at Havre de Grace by the Englifh and Dutch, under Kiss: WILLIAM. In St. Rems's Memoirs of Artillery there is a teflon and view of the Infernal, ufed by the Ens. againft St. Maine's. It was thirty-four feet nt length, eighteen in height ; it broke a great nuth ber of windows and uncovered many houfes, with out any other effeet ; one part of it did not explode, and by what remained its eonfttation was known. A view of this Infernal is alfd given in Gaoss's Hiftory of the Englifh Army. • The number of perfons banifhed the fervice of Ruffia, and taken into favour again within the lilt hi months, amounts to 6000 I On the th of November, at eight in the even ing, was feen at Cleves, .a 1111141* rainbow; a very rare phenomenon.
