Accounts from Vienrys, of the 17th irstant, state, that a Courier had a►riv.A there from the Emperor of Russia, bringing intelligence of the Arrival of that Monarch at Pulau, in Western Gallicia. • . ITAI'IAN STATE GAzETTE, Nov. 1. Inteltgence from Frankfort to the 27th of Oft ber states, that on the 20th of 0411•ber the little cularnn commanded by the Archduke Ferdinand arrived at Nuremberg. It had been nn the 18th at Gunzenhanien. Thi ; column carried with it fifty or sixty Nees f artillery. It had scarcely departed thence when Prince Murat's corps appeared, and nude some prisoners in the subutb of Gnstenhof. Prince Murat rode at the head of four regiments of cavalry, and pursued the Austrians nearly to Eschenau. Ile came back himself, however, in the evening, and took op his hesd•quarters at Nurem berg, while his corps followed the enemy. Another aaion has been fought at Eschenau, in which the French took a number of prisoners, and some cannon. The Austrians then continued their retreat,taking the road through the mountains. At last, on the 22,!, the French cavalry, which pursued the Austrians, returned to Nuremberg, bringing with them twen ty-three pieces of artillery, an immense booty, and 400 prisoners. They had chased the enemy to the other side of Grafenberg. On the 23d, the French troops had marched from the environs of Nuremberg to proceed towards Ratisbon. The head quarters were at Feucht on the 22d, and were to be at Neumark on the 23d. Another Austrian corps retreated, on the 12th, by the way of Fuesscn to Bregentz and Reuti, in the Tyrol. Two days after, the French were at Fuessen. The Austrian General Wolfskehl, is at Biberach, with about six or 7,000 men. Matshal Soult has marched thither, and Mar- shal Augereau is advancing through the Black Fo rest, to form a junetion with him. ISRVIIIWICC.

We have received some Foreign Papers, but none of a later date thin the Mith last. from France, or of the 2d instant, from Holland. They cnnfit m the account of the escape of Prince Frienis•No, but throw very little light upon any other circumstance conneaed with the military operatio.3 in Germany. Some expectations are entertained that Prince FER DINAND has carried off with him a corps of con siderable amount. A large body of troops, no doubt, accompanizi him immediately from Ulm ; but, from the rapidity of his flight, it is net probable that they could have kept together ; and in the event of their being only dispersed, we can scarcely hope that they could join the Anstrian and Russian Army on the Inn, in time to oppose the combined force of Bean &DOTI' a and BON APA Rt. K. In the state to which Austria was reduced by the capitulation of Ulm, the banks of the Inn is the only place in which they could afford effi cient service. The Grand Army under BONA PARTE amounted to at least 100.000 men. Allowing, then, 40,000 in killed, wounded, and eft to guard the Austrian prisoners, he would, probably, carry (4,000 to the banks of the Inn ; where, when united , to DEAN ADOTTIeII division, his army would amount to 100,000. The first Ressian division, and Kira , MATZIL'S corps, to which it would be opposed, did not exceed 70,000 men ; a fearful odds, with which to encounter an army flushed with one of the most aston;shing viCtories that ever was achieved—a vidory, in a peculiar degree, calculated to inflame the enthusiasm of the French, and encou rage all those eztravagaat claims which Bow ar A ar would attach to his own person, as the favourite of Providence. BON•P•ST D, however, would not pro bably reach the Inn until the 25th. By that time, Prince FERDIPIAND would probably have joined the Austrian and Russian force, with - his followers. Fresh troops, we might also presume, would have been daily pouring in from every part of the Austrian territory. If the aggregate were equal to oppose the army of France, we have still ground of hope, that vi Rory has attended the Austrian and Russian arms; if it found itself unable to face the enemy, we can not suppose that iss Commander would sit down quietly en the banks of the Inn, as Mace did upon the banks of the Danube, until the toils were drawn close around him, and escape became imprafticable. Under such circumstances, we have a right to pre sume, that the joint Russian and Austrian force would fall back. The second Russian column, amounting to SO,OOO men. was expefted to arrive at the Inn about the 30th last. If then the joint frace of the first division, arid that of ICIAPIKAYNR, began to retreat, they would fall hack upon these .50,000 about the 28th, so that, in fad, they would have only to avoid a general battle for three days, in or der to form an array greatly superior to the enemy in number. Under these circumstances, it must be the obvious policy of the French to force the Aus trians to a battle upon the Inn, before the arrival of the second division of the Russians. A report has accordingly prevailed, that intelligence has been re ceived of a severe check received by the Russians and Austrians upon the Inn, but we do not think it en titled to much credit. Beawanorre was net inforce to attack thorn ; and, as the army which marched from Ulm to reinforce him, conk not arrive until about the 25th, it is impossible that an account of any attima fought subsequent to that date, at the .distance of tae Inn, could have reached London on Monday, when the report alluded to was first circu lowa. Upon a review of the whole subjed, we think there is great cause of regret, but little bpi despondency. 'the tempting has commenced uufa- ►r vourably frr the Alliet ; hot a grezt part of their irr mense resent* remain unteuched ; and Do AAAAA Ts w4l not find it so easy a task to defeat or out-ma- minters the Austrian and Rossi in Combined At my, as he has to defeat General Mao'. We wish we were enabled to say something deci sive with respell to the coudt9 of Prussia. We are, however, precluded from doing so by the wart (.f intelligence from she North of Europe. The last letters from Berlin, which are of the 2'll ult. state, that three Camps of Prussian Troops were to be formed ; one in Lower Saxony, one in Anspach, and one in Westphalia : they also state, that a Paper had been issued by Count I-1.4 ants sten, which speaks in severe terms of the violation of the Neutrality of the Prussian Territory of Anspach by the French. Letters from Milan, of the 11th, state, that the whole of the French troops in Italy, in cluding the troops in Naples, and the Reserve in Piedmont, is 140,000 men, probably a considerable exaggeration. M4SCENA, however, is supposed to have about 70,000 men under his immediate coin- Man I. We find too, by letters from Madrid of the 14th of OR. that 800) Spanish troops, under the comm ind of Gen. O'FA R Fitt Are to be sent to Italy to join the French. Thd Expedition still remained yesterday, detain ed in the Downs by contrary winds. His MAJESTY is expelled to come to town to morrow, to hold a l'rivy Council, at the Qui tees Niter, to receive the Ht:counee's report of the coaviEls cast for death during the two last Sessions, at the Old Bailey. Ye!terday, the Duke of Tout held a public day at h;s Office, in the Horse Guards. Lieut.-General MAC DON ALI, will leave town to morrow, to take a command at Cork, from whence he will proceed upon foreign service. Admiral Sir Rome Cal DY:k is arrived in town. We are shocked to fiad, in one of the minor French Papers (the Gantt, de Framer), an account of the death of the unfortunate Captain Witioer, which, there is reason to suspeCi. was something in the manner of that of General Prciteueu. The at ticl. is as follaws—we make no further comment on it : " Capt. WRIGHT, of the English Navy, a pri soner in the Temple, who had disembarked, on the French coast, Gco o es,and his aapemplices, has put an end to his existence, in prisoa, afro having read in the ilonsienr, the account of the destrulkton of the Austrian army." Another Paper, the Journal de Peels, of the 2/th uh. says— ., Hie day before yesterday, Mr. %Vernal . , the English Officer who last year disembarked the as sassins of England on the coast of Brittany, and was imprisoned in the temple, after having read the Bulletins of the Monsieur, and tittered much abuse against the Austrians, and particalaily against General MACR, cut his throat with a tax His Excellency the Imperial Ambassador, Court ST A IlittlilßßlM, has contradicted, in a letter under his own hand, a statement in a Morning Paper, in which it was asserted, that the tardy aJvance of the Russians, whose arrival is a full month behind the time it was expend, contributed to the recent defeat of the Austrians. Isis Excell-ncy sap, that " this statement is completely the reverse of the state of the case, which is, that the Rus sians were full twelve days earlier at their posts than they had promised, tar could have been ex pected ; and that nothing but the most extraordi nay and enprecedented exertions could have ef. fected this promptitude." General Fi.ovzo, who has had the command in Ireland, ad interim, since the promotion of Lor I CSTMC ANT to the Russian Embassy, is returning to Englaud, to join the British Staff embarking for the Continent. Yesterday, the List London Militia marched from Greenwich, and arrived in town at two o'clock. Yesterday morning, the. Dube of CAM sassoe inspeCled the Royal Horse Guards ( Blue) at the Cavalry Barracks. A letter from Dover, dated the.4th instant, says, " A large fleet of vessels, of light draught of wa ter, is colleting in our Roads. We have no less than twelve gun-brigs, and many more, wit* cut ters and luggers, art expelled. A great bustle has Prevailed to-day, in getting on board all the appa ratus, stores, and combustibles, which have been so long preparing here ; and there is no doubt but an attack on some of the enemy's porn, at no great distance from us, will take place in a few days.
