PRESBURO, SEPTEMBER a+ We have this moment received from Bruhnrell, the intelligence equally important and unexpeeed, that a Rialto army of 80,000 men, which was on the fron tiers of Moldavia., has fluidally entered Wallachia.,- Forty thoufand men of this army are rapidly advinc in toward Crajowa, about twenty milts north-eaft of wtfiTzatrßn, OCTOBER so. A fhort time before the French Emperor left this city, the King of Wirtemberg arrived here; he form after tinted the Emperor and the Grand Duke Joa thim, and in the afternoon this vifit was returned by his Imperial Majefly and the Grand Duke. The Lug of*Wirtemberg returned in the afternoon. The Pruffian troops that had taken poll in Mei. nangen,have fallen back ; it fecms that the Pruffians are concentrating themfelves more and more is the environs of Eifenaeh and Erfort. Among the contingents of the Rhona Confederation which have athrough here, are the troops of Baden. The l l iviGon of the Imperial Guard of Cavalry has alto pared through this place, as have afro the Ma melukes, with a number of carriages for the Empe. toes particular fervice. STUTTOARD, OCTOBER is. According to a Royal Order, no Meer mull be exported from this kingdom, excepting from the bank, exclufively. MUNSTER, OCTOBER li. At Grout, three leagues from hence, fome planks have been taken from the bridge over the Ems, by um of precaution. None of the inhabitants of this city are permitted to go above three miles from this place, without a paffport. The Cathedral of St. Maurice, as well as ours, is difrolved ; the Canons are so receive a frdary during life. DUSSELDORF, OCTOBER,;. A Military Confcription is ordered in the Grand Duchy, for railing our contingent, confining of goon men. However, there are many exceptions in this conferiptios in favour of perfons in uffier, the clergy, and children upon whom their parents depend for a maintenance, and all for whole towns and diaries, where rnanufaftories are carried on, as at Elberfold, Solingen, Rontlorff, &c. MENTZ. OCTOBER to. Intelligence is received here, that both CAA and Itoftheim have been ceded to Fiance, and are stoked to the empire by an Imperial Decree. The Duke of Benevento, who is now here, is to appoint a day for the formal transfer. The pofition of the French army, we learn to be as follows—All the troops which left Wnrtzburgh in the latter end of September, have taken three diffe• rent direeions. One corps has taken the route through Caraed and Gemund. to Fulda ; a fecond has peed through Schweinfurth, and advanced to Mannernadt and Neunad, fpreading themfelves on the left through Berchoffelseim to the Lobe, where the fira PrufGan polls are Rationed. The third corps , has taken poll near Lanringen and Koniegfhofen, which fortrefs is occupied by a numerous garrifon.— This corps alto extends to Rorrrfcheld, where the LA Pruffian polls commence. We learn, that in cafe of hollilities, thefe three corps, which sorted, will form a numerous army, are to advance through Fulda, Schleulingen, &e. towards Gotha and Erfurt, where a confiderable part of the Pruffian force is al. ready a nimble d. The French troops that occupy the northern part of the Principality of Bamberg extend from Stank nein to Lichtenberg. A numerous garrifon is al ready placed in the fortified town of Kronacb, which is fituated upon the farthest extremity, at no great diflance from the Duchy of Saxe Coburg. All the French troops which arrived in Germany lag war, having been confiderably reinforced, have arriv.d at Heir deflinations in the Upper Palatinate and Franccnia , the divifiun under General Marmont excepted, which is for the moll part in Dslmatia.— &fides thefe corps, two others are formed ; one un der Marfhal Lannes, confining of the Rawer of the army, and the other, of 6000 men, of the Imperial Guard, and 6000 difmonnted drarons ; the ref, under Martha' Monier, form a kind of Army of Referee near this city. Betides thefe, all the depots of the battalione and firadrons are upon the march towards the left bank of the Rhine, where they are getting ready to re ceive co,ooo Confcripts, who are trained and fent to 'he timv 1 iItANCkPORT. OCTOBFR Our Sammie; the Prince Primate, has left this city to day, for Ments, in order to pay a vifit to the Emprefs. We are attired that her Majefty, and her daughter, the Prince. Stephanie, will pafs the win ter at Manheim. Her hufband, the Grand Duke of Baden, will, we are attired, MN in ptrfon in the prefent campaign. Of the Prullion army we learn that Prince Hohen lohe's corps, reinforced by other troops, has advan ced into the country of Bayreuth, with the view of making head againft Maraud Soult, who has ad vanced on that fide. This is the advanced F oArd of that corps which was ander Prince Ferdsnand of Pruflia,.(who, as we know, has already fallen in eon feguenee of the fiat viltories obtained by the French army. See the Firtroordiaary Courant ef,rhis day.) As all the PrulEan troops in the diftant parts of the kingdom are in motion, eneffengers have been fent in all direftions, to expedite their march. The Court of Drefden has removed all its vales- Mes, archives, ate. to toningflein : this forties, filtrated upon an eminence, and generally deemed impregnable, is provided with every thing omit:ay for a lung liege. The vifit of the Eleanr of Heffe to Ilia Imperial Majelly's Head.guartero, is now contradicted. From Twer, in RufEa, we learn that in all the arfenals of the Crown they are at work day and night, and that all the troops in the empire, excepting thofe employed in Perfia, are in motion; part of them use procreating fouthward towards the Dniefler, and from thence to Turkey; and part of them weft ward to wards the frontiers of PrufEa. The march of the Guards from St. Peterlburgh is all an event that is cape/led. Thus it appears that the Ruffian Empire will (non be at war with three of the greateft powers —Perfia, Turkey, and France. in the mean while it is clearly teen, that with • efpett to the latter, the Ru(Gan troops will be expofed to confiderable dan ger, and, as in the laft war, be again too late.

We hear with great concern that Mr. A & has refigned his feat for Reading. Dining thirty two years he has reprefented the Borough in the mug is. dependent and honourable manner. Such is the" i nion which the inhabitants entertain of his public and private tharailer. of his manly, ct.nfiflent, anti difintereeed condua in Parliament, and of hi. digni fied and engaging manners in fociety, that they have always elated him without expenfe. Some cif cum (lances attending the lad elution, which it is not our bufinefi to detail, but which are well known in the town, proved that the fame free and independent fpirit was no longer to be exerted. Difdaining to change a fyllem, which had conferred In much credit on his Conflituents, be has declared his intention of not be coming a candidate on the relent necalion.

PRUSSIANS. fterday Dutch papers to the tflth inelufiee ar rived, with intelligenee of an teflon between the Fruf flan and French troops. It untours were immediately eircolited, that thi forma had I - uttered mnQ feverely, 25,000 of them having been killed and taken painters by the French, and that the French had aflually I I reached Leiptic. It appears that the advantage was on the fide of the latten, brit not to any fuch..ettent, as our Renders will fee by the following extra& from THE HAGUE STATE cointiort ExTßAoßdtmay: 6, HAGUE, °eta to, 7. " Yellerday evening, at a late hour, the impor tant intelligence was brought to his Excellency the SIC AAAAA Y of STATIC, that hoflilities had commen ced between France and PrulEa, and that more than one defperate melon had already been fought be tween the two armies. Happily, however, the igue has been, in every (cafe, to the advantage of the French. Prince Louis FiltilllAND, brother to the King of PILUI:I6, who commanded in perfon ott one of thefe occafinns, has fallen t and the fiat advan tages obtained over the alertly have been, the making of a confiderable number of prifoners, add the taking of thirty.twh pieces of cannon. "In confequence of this happy event, the royal flag has been hoifled today upon the Obfervatory." It is probable that feveral allions - have taken place between the two armies fince the commencement of boftilities upon the Bth, as (laud in the Hamburgh Papers. But from the above account we infer, that nothing &dare in favour of the French had occurred. It is not laid that any general affirm has taken plate, or that the French have gained any ground. It is affected only that Come prifoners were made, and 32 pieces of cannon taken ; but the latter is the only cir. cumilance indicative of fuccefs, and it is fupported by nothing dfe. As to Prince Louts FIRDINAND, called the Brother of the King, being killed, it mull be fo far a millake, as the King bat no brother of that name. Prince Louts FIRDIMAMD is his Coufin. But what teems dully to prove that nothing declare or very favourable to the French, had taken place, is, that the papers of the t7th contain no farther particulars. It is evident, therefore, that what had reached tl.e Dutch Minikes is only a vague rumour, without any eircomftantes to confirm it ; and even if true, nothing very confiderable in its amount. But it appears, however, to be, in tome degree, difcre dited, by the filence of the paper of the following day. The letters from Rotterdam, of the 16th and 17th, are likewile filent as to this affair. The place where the principal action is toppoted to have taken place, is not mentioned, but it is con jeftured by the Dutch papers that it was fought on the 13th, between Hoff and Bareutb. If this be the cafe, the Pruffsans mull have advanced etsafiderably fince the Taft accounts. At prefent7e are convinced that the above affair is little move Stan an exagge. rated fiatement of the corps of Da:taitzatm falling back, with which we were acquainted. As the left of the Pruffians, in which Prince Louis had a com mand (and only a fubordinate one, for he feemed under the prince of Hon emu:slit) had fallen back, it was natural for the French to magnify this into a great foreefs. We expeded they would, and the Dutch Casette loet not make fo much of it as we fuppofed would have been. It is to be obferved alfo, that the above intelligence arrived at the Hague on the evening of the 15th. It is manila, therefore, that the battle ia quefiion could not have been fought on the 13th, for the account could not have reached the Hague from Erfurt by the 15th. It is very likely, however, that the affair ofthe Bth, in confequence of which the Pru Man left wing fell back, and the French advanced to Hof, might have been knows,. It is that, then, and we hardly believe any thing elk, that has induced the Dutch Government to publifh the above. It is the 6rft annunciation of hoflilities that is here publifhed, and therefore we are the more led to confider it as tie exaggerated reprefentation of the flcirmiMes be tween Bayreuth and Hof, with which we are already acquainted. Upon the whole, therefore, we think we can confi dently afTert, that as far as depends on this Dutch Ga zette, their is no reafon to be alarmed. In fs,l, it is a proof that there has been no anion of coniequence whatever, and that the French have gained no advan tage.
