" itOTZ nom THE JAMMU OF POREION 4110101111 i COUNT` hiIITTERNIMii , • -; • This undersigned Minister for Foreign AllWri has placed before his Majesty the Emperor and King the Declaration of the llth .August, by which Austria throws off the mask of mediator, with which she co- Vend her designs. ffince the month of February, the hostile disposi tions of the Cabinet of Vienna towatils. France were known to all Europe. Denmark, Sammy, Bavaria, WUrretnberg, Naples, and Westphalia, hintkin their strehitin &cements which prove how much A}stria, Under the false appearances of the interest shittook for her ally,. and the love of peace, nourished jea lousy against France. The undersigned refuses to retrace the system of protestations lavished on one side, and insinuations spreadtpon the other, by which the Cabinet of Vienna comprimivedthe dignity of its Bovereign,• and which in its developement x what is anon sacred among men, a mediator, a congress, and the name of peace. • If Austria wished to make war, what occas ion had" she to clothe herself in false language, nedutueuund . France with snares so badly contrived, that tlitiliere evident to every body ? ,If the. Mediator wisheitfor peace, would he have • pretended that so cothplicated transactions could have been accomplished in.fifteen or twenty days ? Was that a pacific disposition which ' consisted In dictating peace to France in less time than would have been requisite" for concluding the. capitblation of a besieged place ? The Peace of Tis chen required more than four months negotiations; snore than six weeks were employed . in that of 4i510w,., before even the discussions respecting the forms were terminated. The negociation. for the Peace of Vienna, • when the greater part of the Austrian Monarchy was in the hands of France, lasted two months: -In the. different transactions, the interests anti mimber of the parties were circumscribed ; and when at Prague the point was to lay down the basis of d general pacifi cation to conciliate the interests of France, of Austria, of Russia, of Prussia, of Denmark, of Saxony, and so many other Powers I when to the complications which arose out of the multiplicity and the diversity of interests, were joined thediffictilties resulting from the open and concealed pretensions of the Mediator, it was derisive to pretend that . every thing should fie terminated in fifteen days. Without the fatal intervention of Austria, peace would have been concluded between Russia, France, and PxUssia. Austria, an enemy to France, and co- leering her ansbitioff with the mask of Mediatri:c,com pllcated every thing, and rendered all conciliation itrippssible. But Austria having declared war, is in a more true and quite simple position. Europe is thus nearer peace ; there is one complication less.— The undersigned has therefore received Orden to pro pose to itaritlia, to immediately adopt the means . of arriving at peace, by opening a Congress, where all the Powers, great or smallyshall be called ; where all questions shall be solemnly dilated; where it shall not 1)e demanded that this work, as difficult as it is salu tary, be terminated either in a week or a. month ; ' where they shall proceed with that leisure inseparable from every operation of that nature with the gravity which belongs to so great interests, and so great ends. The negaciations should be long ; they must be so. 'Were the treaties of Urinhi, of Ni meg uen, of Ryswic k, of Aix la Chapelle concluded in a few days ? Tn the greater part of memorable discussions, the question of peace was always independant of that of war.; they negotiated without knowing whether they would fight or not ; and sinceahe Allies. found so many hopes upon the chances of battle, nothing prevents them now as then, from negotiating whilst fighting. The undersigned proposes to neutralize a point up on the frontier, as a place for conferences. _ To assi tnilate.the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, of France, of Russia, of Prussia, of Saxony ; of convokin g all t hose , of the Belligerent Powers, and in commencing in that august Assembly the work of Peace, so anxiously desired throughout all Europe ; nations will experi ence a real consolation in seeing-the Sovereigns em ployed in placing a term to the calamities of wan . , and to sincere enlightened men confided the concili ating the interests, compensating the sacrifices, and rendering the peace advantageous and honourable to all nations. The undersigned does not propose to reply to the Austrian Declaration, and the single grief Upon which it is founded. His reply would be complete in a single word. He would mention the date of the alliance concluded between the two Powers, on the 14th March,'lBl 2 , and the guarantee stipulated by the treaty, of the territory of the Empire, such 'as it was on the 14th March, 1812.—The undersignedAke..

VIENNA, SEPT. a. • The states of the County of Presburg, undef" the presidency of Count Palfy, have held a General As sembly, in which it was unanimously resolved, that this district should raise 357, and the free towns within it 95, light horse, for th.e.service of his Majesty; the greater part of whom have been, already mounted and equipped,- and have joined Kiensnayer's regiment of hussars. At the same assembly an insurrection of the Nobles was derenened won, and Count Ester hazy, who headed it in MA was again appointed its Commander. . 7;.;.

With the -allusions made to the unsettled conduct of Austria, previous to the memorable Russian campaign, we have nothing to do. The Duke of BASSANO, it is true, composes the exordium of his harangue from those battered ntaterials—but with as much propriety he might have gone back to the political relation of Europe before the flood. The demur quo of Muth, 81t, is all that is necessary for our purpose—it is in fact all that is virtually persisted in throughout the remainder of the correspondence. Austria is accused, thee,- of proposing. a treaty with France, in March 1811% in pursuance of which an auxiliary army was to march by the side of the French Emperor, " for the defence of the grand in terests of the Continent," by invading Russia!--No wonder that " Politicians were astonished. at this al liance." If Austria had been sincere, their astonish ment would have been greater ;—but the very publi cation of the French Government subsequently proves that Austria was not in earnest. Her auxiliary army took the field—but scarcely had it reported its arrival at head-quarters, when a secret interview took place between the Russian and Austrian Commanders op posed to each other.—Nay the French tell us that a secret Armistice was concluded—the Austrians per. mitted Prince BAORATION, and the Moldavian army, to form a junction at Smolensko with the main body —they halted behind the Duna—ostensibly to support what BONAPARTE called the Minsk line' of operation; but really with a view to take advantage of existing Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Parses REGENT, circumstances: When the disastrous retreat from accompanied by the Duke of CLARENCE, and Colo- Moscow commenced, and when BONAPARTE regarded reels BLooltriaLD and THORNTON, left Carlton house, every thing as safe in his.rear—the Austrian army in three carriages, on a visit to the Earl of EGREMONT I his P th.

The William and Hannah, JAMISON, which sailed from hence the Bth instant, at noon, in ballast, for Sunderland, was fired into by a French lugger pri. vateer the , same afternoon, a little to the Eastward of St. Alban's Head. It blew a strong gale to the S.W. and the sea running very high, made it impos. sible for the privateer to board her.--She got safe 10 the Isle of Wight. A large Portuguese brig from London, supposed to be bound to the Brazils, was driven out of our Roads this morning about seven o'clock, with a most violent gale at W. N. W.
