He (fates the captured ftandards at 90; it is alio probable that thefe amount to a greater number. " 'The Emperor addreffed the Aufirian General, whom he fent for, as their army was filing pall him, in the following terms Gentlemen, your Matter carries on an nnju ft war. I tell you plainly, I know not for what I am fighting; I know not what can be required of me. It is not ui this army alone that my refources confift, though were this the cafe, 'till my army and myfelf would make confiderable pro. grefs.

At a Tingle word, zoo,coo Volunteers crowd to my liandard, and in fix weeks become good foldiers—whereas your recruits only march from compultion, and do not become foldiers but after feveral years. " I would give my Brother the Emperor of Ger many one futther piece of advice—let him halien to make peace. This is the moment to recollea that all Empires have an end—the idea that the end of the -..lynafty of the Houfe of Lorraine may have ar rive.l. fhould imprefs him with terror. " I defire nothing upon the Continent. I want (hips. colonies, and Commerce ; and it is as much your interell as mine that I thold have them." " 1.1. Mack replied, that the Emperor of Germany had not wifhed for war, but was compelled to it by Ruflia." "If Mat be be cafe," laid the Emperor, then you are no longer a (war." " Mott of the Generals have confe.fled how digh• greeablc this war was to them, and how much they were of eaed to fee a Riiffian atm) , in their country. , They condemned that blind fyflem of politics, which would bring into the centre of Europe a people accof mimed to live in an uncultivated country, and who, as well as their ford -afters, might take a fancy to fettle in a mildet climate. " The Emperor has treated Lieutenant General Klenau (whom he knew as Commander of the re giment of Wormier) with much civility, as alto the Lieutenant Generals Giulay, Gottetheim, Ries, and the Prince of Lichtenitein, &c. comforting them in their misfortunes, and telling them that war has its chances, and that though frequently conquerors, they might fometimes be conquered."

Prince Murat fol lowed on his heels, andluccceded in overtaking him; which gave rife to a battle on the road between Furth and Nutemberg, in the night of the alit. All the ref Qf the park of artillery, and all the baggage, without weption, were taken. The CbrOuri a de val orthe Imperial Guard covered themfelves with glory; they overthrew every thing which oppofed them ; they charged Mack's regiment of Cuiraffiers. The two regiments of Carabiners have fullaincd their reputation. We are 101 l of aflonifbment when we confider the march of Prince Murat, from Albeck to Nuremberg. Although always lighting, he excelled in fpeed the enemy, who were two days march before him. The refult of this prodigious aftivity was the taking of isoo waggons, go pieces of cannon, r 6,000 men, in eluding the capitulations of General Werneck, and of a great number of colours.
