VIENNA, Atrousr i4.—The new organization of the two Gallicias is completed, and the Government is definitively fixed at Lemberg. The authorities elk. blilbed at Cracow are dtfrolved, and feveral of the Members will be employed at Lemberg. • HADISURGII, Ana. t4.—The Denali army elem. bled in HoMein receives daily reinforcements. It now confifts of 30,000 men. The whole force of Denmark is concentrated at this one point. It is con fidently Rated, that the garrifon of Copenhagen does not now exceed Soo men ; and that not more than zoo are left for the defence of Elfineur. What is the objet of this extraordinary movement of troops ; un lers it has for its origin the dread of events which might take place from the conteß of the French and Hanoverian armies, at a moment when the war is aaually finifhed. and the French are in quiet and peaceable poffeffion of the Eledorate ; how comes it to pars that the Prince of Denmark does not take means for the reduaion of his army, inked of in creating it ? If it is for the purpofe of rendering his neutrality refpeded, why does he not adopt fimilar meafures for the augmentation of his navy Fads have !hewn, that if Denmark had any thing to fear from its neutrality, it was in the road of Copenhagen that the peril exiled, and that there it was molt necee. fary to adopt meafures of preparation. The politicians of this place are altogether at a lois to account for there proceedings, which relative to Europe are unim portant, but to us are of the lag confequence. The occupation of our city by the Danes.laft year, renders us jealous of the neighbourhood of so,ooo Danes; and we (*recce betides, that the necefary relult of the preform collettion of Mini& troops, wiU create an increafe of the French troops on the Banks of the Elbe. Whatever augmen ts the tumult of war in our vicinity, adds to eight of the evils we now feel—the dread of future miferies. Is it wife in the Mace Royal to give hingelf even the appearance of provoking France ? Does be feriodly believe that his army would at all more influence the geodes& France, than his Pimple Rag of neutrality placed on the frontiers? He has, indeed. an opportunity of manceuvring his troops, but be likewile is under the necelEty of Ipending a great deal of money which might be much more oil:fully employed in relkorinz his marine. A military mania is a !bangs fort of diforder for petty Princes. It is a mania the more ruinous, becaufe it cannot be indulged without pro .docing nsifery to the people. FRANCRIFOILT. Auq. as.—The commerce of the North of Germany begins to take a different direc tion. The riven Elbe and Wefts being (but agaioß the Engliih, they have reforted to Lubeck for carry ing on their trade with the States of the Empire.— With this view they fend (mall fleets of merchant flaps, under convoy of tome frigates or floops, through the Sound into the Baltic Sea, which unload in the little port of Travemunde, belonging to the tows of Lubeck. Their merchandises are conveyed to the Duchy of Mecklenburg. and other parts of Gerotancs without reaching the Hanoverian territories 1 but as they are afraid that the French will detach a corps of troops from Lauenburgh to take pod/arson (tf rra vemunde. they have feeured another and a Cater route; and the Englifh !hips now unload is the port of Stettin, in Pomerania, whence their cargoes are tranfported on the Oder, by the canal of Zenowirch, whence they enter the navigable rivers of Spree and Nevel, and afterwards into the Elk by the canal of Rama. This paffage is, however, attended with coatiderable dithculty. This will be greatly increafed if peace is not reltored before winter; for during that feafon the navigation of the Baltic is very dan gerous, and fometimes Anal Unpredictable, parti cularly when the Sound is frozen over. This it is known takes place annually for at leak fix weeks or two months. The Englifh have alto formed a plan for availing themfelves of the port of Embdeo. in EaR Friesland. This would doubtkfs be a very con venient Ration, keen& in this cafe they would have no oceafion to pare the Sound. and they would not be under the neccflity drinking a circuitous route. But bele difEculties alasoft incurmotintable prefent themfelves. For in the fire place, it would be ne cefrary to convey all merchandize by land, and in the nest place it would be nearly Unpoffible to avoid the territory occupied by the French troops. It is fup pored that the project will therefore be abandoned. A Uo6llllloe, Ava. t7—Numerous Agents of rich Englifh merchants and artisans are now traverfing the Aettrian dominions to p...irehare immenfe quantr t'es of wool, which has already confiderably advanced in prici. The price of cotton, nn the contrary. has been lowered. The Auftrian and Bavarian artisans have coniplained for louse time an' as thole of Sax ony and Lower Germany have l ong done, of the in. fluence of the English manuradures. The Silt have addreqd themfelves to the Emperor, through the medium of the Archduke Charles, to (Illicit his Iffa. icily to take fuch ineafures, as in his wifdom he may judge belt for the remedy of this inconvenience. There can be no dnot.,t of the neceflity of the ;Om piste area entire prohibition of all articles of Englifh manufadure throughout the Aufirian territories. If this ansafure is not adopted, we mutt afcribe this to the intrigue of fevered Englilli pirtizans. A confi derable addition will, linwever, it is hoped, be laid on there merchandises. The Ela:dor of Bavaria is nom employed on the fame object. The Department of Finances have prefentcd so him a propolition to give a new impulfe to the national indulty, and to pro; vent the interferense of Rangers . It is generally underßood that in a Own time the fame princi. pies will be adopted teffseaing the introduthon of Euglith ppds, as in France, Spain, and fans{ other countries. In Savoy theft mantes have bilberto been fraitlefsly demanded. • Thus the Saxon Mann ;Sautes !arced vely fall into a Rate of abfolote de cay, and the revenues of the State fear in the faint proportion. CON sTANTsiMPLII. ruiT Wechab is in full paragon of Mecca ; he has laid fiege to Medina, of which place it is thought he will be food mailer. The Paella of Bagdad has received orders from the Porte to march againit him ; but the necernty to de• fend his own frontiers has prevented him from obey ing that order. The Puha of Damafcus it making preparations of defence ; for there is no doubt that, after the reduition of Medina. Abdul will attack him. Sswitn. JULY 28.—The news which we have juit received from Widdin lkates, that the real clink of the late ineurfion of Ingmar OoLow into Wallachia was, that a chief of his forces being about to pay the foldiery, complained that there were wanting sBo purfes more than were contained in the military theft. His entrance therefore is for the pus pore of making up this deficiency. while the replacing the Catholic Prielt is a mere fubterfuge. The Hofpodar has been obliged to rubmit, and has thus purchared a precari ous peace. ITALIAN REPUBLIC, AUGUST sft. lITZACT OT THI TAOISM OT GOVEIII MPST. I.

Every precautionary meal - ere has been taken to prevent the diforder from gaining the interior of the country. This event, however, does not alarm the Engliih, who venture to infpett every veffel they fall in with. Six pirates have jun been apprehended, for feizing a velfel from Savona. Three of the party were (laves. A young man who was antongft them attempted to nuke his efeape, and was wounded in the Smolder ; he had convened a part of the plunder into trinkets, which were found in his polleifion.

The letter farther obferms.' that the Emperor and his Benue are each attached to England. and feel the Biretta interelk in its caufe ; but is prevented from taking a part in the war f 4 a kerning want of cordiality and confidence in the Admimitration of this country. As this. laft-men timed circumstance is entirely deliitute of any other foundation than the idle affections of certain Newf. papers, we may hope that this impretßon will loon be removed. if it really exits, and this country receive prompt gad vigorous aid from the Northern Powers. Our Plymouth Correfison dent informs ns of the re- capture of one of our Eaft-Indiamen, but without namigg the vast. We are inclined to believe that it will tarn out to be the Lend Nelfon, for the fafety of which feats have been for fame time enterta ined, as the failed from St. Helena with Is void that ar• rived three weeks ago. On Saturday. after our paper was prefs, we received Paris jnurnals to the sill of Augult. They were brought into the Thames early left week by a PrufGan weft!, the arrival of which, with letters, we men tinned t but they were detained for fonie reaCon un known to us fevers! days at the Cuflom.houfe. We swentioned fame time ago that an orderhad been Hilted to prevent even neutral vefels that had cleared out from or called at an Englifh port from being admit. ted into any French harbour. This intelligence we find confirmed by thefe journals. Even Ligs of truce, or packets of any defcription are not to be admitted into the ports fituated between the Scheldt and Breft. The °Ned of this meafure is to prevent any dired intercourfe whatever. Englifh manufadures and produce, however. do get into France, and by a former decree tome kinds were allowed to be exchanged by neutral vefels for a proportionate quantity of Trench produce. If the French either clandeftinely or openly receive any Britills produce, this decree, requiring them to take a circuitous route, will only have the cad of enhancing the price, to the difadvantage of the French themfelves. The Paris journals, however, meditate molt ezten. five coalitions spina our broad cloths, our muffins end hardware. The official paper adopts from the "oared dm Coessera a letter from Augtburg complain • I ' ing bitterly of the Englifh agents buying wool in Bs. earia and the Auflrian States, and again introducing oureoemwodities.to the ruin of thenativemanufallutes of thole countries. Hence, lays the writer, it is pro_ poled to prohibit the bitrodeeion of Ugh& gocds throughout the whole of tbe Außrian States. Iu Saxony the fame complaints are Paid to eai!l, and to demand a fimilar remedy. It is pleafant to fee tl , t French Government thus vexing itfelf about the sir• culation of Englifh manufaEtures, and labouring to prevent it. Indeed the FIRST CONSUL has taken tit matter fo much to heart that it occupies him as much as the fubjedt of invafion. Still he has made little progrefs in his fcheme to divert the beam of commerce. •It runs on its fpite of him. It is con. felled that the occupation of Hanover has not had the effea of (hutting out our trade from Germany. Complaints are made that by the port of Trave. monde, near Lubeck, and by other ports in the Bal tic, Englifh manufaaures are landed, and new chart• nelb, it is Paid, are about to be opened. BONA PASTE, however, has the confolation of pillaging Hanover, if he can no other way render it availing to his plans of hollility againft this country. The Official Journal of the 28th has inferted, und,st the &ape of a letter from Hamburgh, fome remark, highly infalent and offenfire to the Court of Den• mark. The caufe which has provoked this fplenet:c effufion is the report of Denmark having affembled 30,000 men in Holftein, in confequence of the French taking poffe(Gon of Hanover. This meafure of pre. caution is allually reprefented as a fort of provoea• lion given to the Flair Coes uc, and it is infultingly obterved that the FIIIST CONSUL would pay jai as much attention to the mere flag cf Denmark Is to the 30,000 men. Then follows fome fancy reflec tions on the folly of petty Princes meddling in mill. tary affairs, and by one of the near Comity Vs /miles adife, this turn is compared to the paffion for play. Why taking precautions of Pelf defence in a neigh bourhood infefled with robbers refembles the pans for play, we are totally at a 101 l to difeover. From the infolence and abfurdity of the article we are al ma tempted to believe that it is written by the Fe an. Comic'. We are glad to find that the indignation of the writer, be who be may, is roufed at the ne gligence of the Danes in not equipping a fleet to maintain their neutrality. This affords a fatisfaitory proof that the projea of reviving the Northern Con. fedeney is not likely to fucceed, and tech reproaches as thofe on which we comment are not very well cal. culated to procure allies to France, or to excite ens* mien to England. The My:silos, of the a9tls Aognq is filled with the decrees of the FIP.ST coesni during hii recent pro. greys to the Netherlands. The fire relates to the eonfiruftiou and repair of roads, the conerueioa and deepening of canals between the river Aa and the Scheldt, the raifing of embankments, finking the beds of rivers, Ike. the ckanGng, deepening, and otherwife improving the ports--of Gravelines, Dun kirk, and ORencl. The Downs, in the vicinity of An*leisure, Wiffent, Calais, and Dunkirk, are to be planted. Thefe improvements, and a variety of others, appear to beratber of a doaseek nature, and to be adopted with a view to the internal advantage of the emery. Thole of the grange isnportanee re late to the mesas of preparation - fur peofeeming the invafion of this country, to aildt opal ow folidatx all the means which the Low Countries afford for the furtherance of this favourite object, teem indeed to have been the principal motives of the Cameos!: jemmy. At every place where he Bopped, he publiated a decree more or lets eonnefled with it. The decrees relating to thip-timber are the molt re markable : the particular number of knee timbers, and the exalt number of feet of other timber fit for building, which the torah of every department and plate contain, appear to have been afeertained by re cent and particular furveys. Tbefe timbers are or. dersd to be forthwith marked, cut down, and con veyed to the neareft parts to be placed at the d:fpo. fitionof the Minifter of Marine. The exportation of timber is prohibited. &fides the improvement of the inferior ports of Gravelines, Dunkirk, and °Rend, which, from the orders for the convey ance of timber, muff be fuppofed to be in part at leall defigned to facilitate the inealion, we base alto to notice the decrees for the conarueion of docks at' Antwerp for building men of war to a very formidable extent.—lt is decreed that there (hall be at that place nine docks for filiks of the line, and three for frigates of 18 gam Of thefe, too of the former clots are to le findised by the sift of September, 18)4 ; the reit to be Inc cefGvely completed before the soth of Dee. in the fame year. A proportionate extent of dack-yards, magazines, ix to be annexed to there docks ; and is order to complete the eflablithment of a military navy on the Scheldt, a baron is to be conaroeul forthwith at Ternettfe, on that river, capable c. bolding twenty Eve (hip of the line, 'with a pro. portionate number of frigates and ?Mailer Trails. The docks are to be in readjusts by the :ft of Setitre?- ber next ; and it is to be fuppofed that the works of the baton will keep pace with them. By a Ratement publithed in the Moristro of the 29th ult. it appears that the number of confcript woanset to be railed in the different departments of France. and who are dellined to went in the ports, amount. to 4i6a. If it were as eafy to build chips, connive docks . andbafons, and procure men, arms , a mmunitionood all the neceffary Bores, as it is to pats decrees, we lhould have ferions reafon to be alarmed for our fafety. But let the little man fret and Rotors real labour takes more time than words.
