" Cur t V. WITtGEISI'EIIt." In I SIICONO EDITION yesterday, we communicated the very important intelligence received by Govern ment, of Ausvata having deiared war against FRANCE,and joined the Allies with an army of 180,000 men. This intelligence would, indeed,, be important, if it could be relied on ; bat from the channel through which it has been conveyed, it ap pears not to have obtained much credit. Captain MULLER, a Hanoverian Officer, arrived Yesterday with dispatches for Count Mussreit, and who also brought accounts to Government from Heligoland, which island he left on the 9th ift,t. The following statement was soon afterwards circulated : "Government has received accounts front Ileligo. land, stating, on the authority of Ilamburgh News. Papers, that an Austrian army of 80,000, in Vol hynia, had JOINED TUE RUSSIANS against France, and that Austria had sent 100,000 mon towards Yesterday the Loan CIIIMICILLOR, Viscount SID.
