ALTONA, AUGTAtit. According to report, the Imperial High Council of War had issued orders to throw a bridge over the Danube, on the borders of Austrian Hungary, in order to be enabled to cross that river with the greater facility, and in a short time. It is to be done at Theben, a small town belonging to Count Palpy, and called by the Hungarians Dewin, situated*to the Westward, where the March falli into the Danube. In the present dubious state between peace and war, some people attribute this measure solely to the ne cessity of shortening the road for the tredps, which are moving in . the vicinity, and likewise to accelerate the movements of the military transports. Others again, hold it more probable, that it is done solely wish the intent of giving the Sout.: bank of the Danube another connexion with the Northern. This opinion seems to be so much the better founded, as there is not a single bridge across the Danube from Vienna downwards, excepting the flying bridge at Pressburg, and the bridge of boats between Pest and Ofen ; notwithstanding that it still alms near YOO German miles from Olen to its mouth, it taking its windings into calculation. KONIGSBERG, JUNE SO. Clothing, arms and ammunition for 20,000 men had arrived at Colberg, as likewise 100 pieces, of six and twelve pounders, with all their appendages, a great quantity of camp-blankets and tent materials, and complete arms for 100 cavalry. Clothing, arms, and ammunition fur a further number of 9)00 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, an immerhe quatiacy of gun-powder, and 130,000 ells of blue and red cloth is likewise to be onloaden.
