The F.leEtoeal Courts of Wirtemberg and Baden have repli-d to the French propositions, th it, from their geographical position, and the superiority of dr Belligerent Powers, they were unable to prevent dos much of their troops through their territories; busk drat they wet e resolved to maintain the striCtest Smitrality, and that this course would be the most favourable to the interest of the Emperor Napoleon. BATIsIION, SEPT. IG. The Austrian troops are in full march for the Rhine, through Bavaria and Swabia. They have occupied Basuu and Landshut, on the 13th, entered Munich. 1 1 !.-ne Bavarian troops at r Y i ~r ~,; F~ Ingoldstadt and Amherg. Bavaria flatters herself she will be perrniaed to remain neutral, and with that view has sent General Is:opt-ella to Vienna. The Arch-Chancellor has delared that the city of Ratisbon, AS the seat of the Diet, is neutral; and has forbidden the Commandant to suffer any troops to pass through, on any pretext whatever. STIASISURGII, SIFT. 16. The greatest bristle prevails here, in consequence of the arrival of so many troops in the city, and its vicinity. Tile prices of many necessaries have al ready risen. At the beginning of next month, the campaign will be opened on our part, upon a grand pl tn. General Desolles is appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Grand Army, and Prince Murat will command under the Emperor. It is thnugitt that Kehl and Cassel, on the right bank of the Rhine, will •non be taken possession of. Gen •ral Macon is appointed Governor of the Im r-•rial Palace, at Strasburgh. Many alterations are Liking in the aril:lure, destined for that purpose, and among otherr, a new chapel is ere ling. A ratirr-deeerittur, and six repainers, have arrived from Paris. I '3 h DA►KS Ulr THE. MAINL Y SEPT. 17. I *~ 'M. The report that the F.mperor will reside for some time in this city, and thence shred the military ope rations, as well as the negociations that may take place. oh:ains credit. Op re Ceniquo is said to hove received orders to repair to Strasburgh, and a similar command is expeaed by the %kali-, Fransais. The new Theatre preparing in the former church of E:. Stephen, will soon be completed. According to the latest accoents, the arrival of the Emperor, at Strasborgh, will take place be tween the 271 of September, and the 21 of Oaober. The slumber of troops passing through Nancy, onJ .he adjacent country, to the Rhine, in diferent divisions. amounts to 7%090 men. The Athtr;a4 Army, accordi;:g to the public Z. i is in hiin condition. The system of sinarh 6cation, hithato confined only to the exercise and equipment, will now be extended to other military ..hjeAs. The many foreign articles directed against the Austrian Government, have hitherto been an swered only by a dignified silence. Some GeTTII4I; Prints, which, on account of the admission of arti cles of this nature, had been pr-ihibitei in the Aus• trian provinces, have eren, by the express command of the Government, been again pet mitted. It i• ibserved, that a sense of national honour, and mr. tional strength, has evidently been loosed by the spirit and toile of those articles, among all ranks of ;he Austrian nativn. On the 6th, when the Ails: ri:in troops had crnised the Inn, an Austrian Statt-otiv.er appeared before the gates of Passau, and demanded to speak with an officer of the gArri son. The GovJrnor-General, Nlontigny, sent a Major, to whom he declared, that the Emperor was on good terms with the Eleaor of Bavaria; and. though he had direled his troops to cross the Inn, he would still respell the civil and military authorities of the Ele&or. Switzerland has now resolved, in case the Empe ror of Austria will accede to their neutrality, to maintain the same with 40,000 men ; but, in the contrary case, to join France. STUTGARD, SLPT. 13. Our Gazette contains the following : " It is not without astonishment, that we observe in the Foreign Papers, an atticle, dated Sturgard, 31st of August, relative to a Note delivered by the French Ambas sador, M. Didelot, to the Eleflor. We are author ised to contradia this intelligence, as destitute of truth." strr. 15. A Declaration has been published here, to the fol lowing effed Government is informed, that, for days, many disagreeable reports have been circula ted, in order to produce alarm and anxiety of every kind. Of this class is one respelling the intended de parture of His EleCtoral Highness. This report is most unfounded, false and untrue, as His Elettoral Highness has no intention of quitting his dominions, in any case whatever ; and he expeds from the me rited confidence of his subjeds, that they will assure themselves, as on the part of His Eleiftoral High ness, that such measures shall be adopted, as will render all alarm and solicitude unnecessary." IfIISOURG (IN rise 1itS0111), SEPT. IG. On the 7th inst. the Austrians mooed the Inn to Burghausen. One column took the route to Muhl. dorf, and proceeded to Landthut, which place it entered on the 10th. No further accounts have been received of its progress ; but, it is conjeftured, that it will advance, or has already advanced, to Ingold stadt, for the purpose of securing Donauert from thence, and taking a positifin from there. Another column proceeded by Warserburg. towards Munich, with the intention, as it is believed, of taking the pasts of Laudslserg and Fribourg to the Lech, a po sition which was occupied by the Austrians in the late war. This army, denominated, until its entry into Bavaria, " The Army of the Camp-of Wels," and which appears now to have the name of " The Army of the Rhine," is to be commanded by the Archduke Ferdinand, having under Lim Quarter- Master-General Mayer ; but no other Commander in Chief has, at present, the diredion of it, and each column performs its movements pursuant to particular instructions. Another corps of the army, about '20,000 strong, forming a part of the Army of the Tyrol, is at Bregantz, under the command of General Hauffenberg, with Generals Rohan and D'Aspremont under him. This body, hitherto stationary, has lately made a movement ; two thou sand of the advanced guard have marched into Ra vensburg, in Swabia; other corps are following them, and take the route to Ulm, with the apparent intention of taking a position there. This army had, without doubt, another objed ; namely, to cut off the retreat, and make prisoners of, a Bavarian brigade, consisting of 6,322 men, assembled at Ulm, under the command of General Wrade ; but the Austrians have missed their aim ; and Gen. Wrade, by falling back on Franconia, has succeeded in forming a jundion with the other Bavarian troops that are already colleded there, or on their march thither, and which will form then an army of be tween thirty and thirty-two thousand men. The Austrians make very considerable requisi- Lions of core and forage, for which they pay, partly in specie, and partly in Bank of England notes; they treat the divrils through which they pass, or which they occupy, with some respell ; but they are not, on that account, less detested, particularly by the Bavarians. Besides the remembrance of their past conduct, and the apprehension of the in- juries they may still commit, it appears that the pro positim made by the Prince of Schwarumberg, to the Eleaor of Bavaria, to unite with Austria, by incorporating in its armies all the Bavarian corps, has particularly offended the inhabitants, and dis- gusted the soldiery. The Aunt ians already suffer greatly by desertion. After the first surprise, ci• cited by such sudden inavetnents, no other senti ment lost that of indignation has been felt. We are indebted for peace to France ; she was solely owl pied in the war which England made upon her; ~ve believed ourselves secure, for a lotig period, from the calamities which menace us ; the Emperor of France will distinguish between Germany and its Head; he will respell men whose sentiments were s•holly peaceable, who have so often experienced its generosity, and who can never regard him as an •iiemy, who has ever been the protesctor of the poli :ical state of Germany. Into what a strange situa :ion has Austria, in her thoughtlessness of heart, plunged herself ? She has constrained all the Princes, her allies, all the Germans, even her subjeas, to form no wish that is not unfavourable to her.— liktiletin de ['Europe.) TRANKTOZT, serT.2l. ' Whi'ar letters from Strashurgh announce the speedy arrival of the army marching thither from the coast of Boulogne, there is also erpelted at Mentz, and its environs, the arrival of the army from the Tete'. General Marmontel, who has the command is chief of the latter, has preceded it to Meart, where he arrived on the 17th. Mean while, the greater part of the troops composing the French Army in Hanover, headed by General Bernadotte, shape their way through the liessian territories to wards the Rhine, having already reached the neigh bourhood of Gieffen. On the other hand, the Au strians are advancing into Suahia, and preparing to take possession of Ulm, evacuated by the Bavarian troops. The present critical posture of affairs, has given rise to a resolution on the part of the Court of Carlsrube, to the following effeet, viz.`" That all French Emigrants are to withdraw from all the Eledoral dominions, within the space of three days, dating from the publication of this resolution."— Those who can allege any particular circumstances in alleviation of their case. may be allowel a longer period; which, however, is not to exceed eight days. This resolution is to be strialy and rigidly carried into execution. LOWER RHINE, SZPT. 21. Hitherto we have received no confirmation of the Austrians having entered Ulm, or being on their march for that city. Meanwhile, all Germany is at a most important crisis, as well from the uaexpetled occupation of Bavaria by the Austrians, as from a demand made to the different Princes of the Em pire, in the name of the Emperor of Russia, by a Russian Chdrge de Apiret, na ned Bieler, echo has set out from Ratisbon, and :ray all over Germany, from one Court to another, w:‘, - 1 ,- fol lowing Note : " M His Majesty the Etn;.eror of Russia wishes to know the sentiments each of the t;erman Princes, in the present circumstances, he requires by these presents, what part your Ili:lines, intend, to take, in the event of a war between France and the Emperor of Austria? If au decisive arnwer•be retuned ti this inquiry, Their Imperial Majesties will consider it as if your Highness had taken the part rat the French, and will treat your country accordingly, &c." It is not known whether this Note has also been sent to the Court of Berlin, but to Bavaria and Hesse-C.ts,el, they say it has been : it' so, the an swers do not seem to have been satisfa6tory t 9 the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersbergh, since it is asserted, that the troops of Bavaria, Hesse-Cassel, and Hesse-Darmstadt, will assemble on the Prus- sian territory, where they will form an army of 80,000 men. They will come to a decision of what side they will take, as soon as the Court of Berlin shall make known its determination. MUNICH, str P. I. Yesterday evening a battalion of Rime, and a battalion of Manfredine, entered this city. This morning the regiment of Meerveldt Uhlans, Klenau dragoons. Riene, Manfredine, and Kallowrath in fantry, marched through Munich. Generals Klenau and Grenville have arrived, and remain in this city. The column of Gen. Gottesheim marched to-day by Freysing for Donauworth. On the 19th, the column of Gen. Riese will come from Rraunar, and the co lumn of Gen. Kienmayer from Salzburg, through Munich. The troops that passed through to-day took the road towards Friedberg by Augsburg. RANKSOF TUC INN, SIMT. It. The first column of Russians which will join the Austrian Army in Germany, consists of 40,000 in fantry, three regiments of dragoons, three of bus cars, and three at Cossacs. This column will arrive on the inn on the 4th of OCtober. The German Army of Reserve consists, in the whole, of 18 Aus trian regiments of cavalry, each regiment of infantry has a filth battalion of reserve, which is to follow in case necessity should require; and a sixth, C Jll - entirely of new-raised recruits. MEN rz, SrPT. 17. On the I 4th inst. passed through this city the French Cabinet Courier, Dujeane, with dispatches from Marshal Duroc, at Berlin, for Paris; Ara yes terday, Colonel Hague, on the same mission. His Excelleocy Marshal Duroc, will remain at Berlin ;•ll the return of these Couriers. It is said. that the French troops which are on heir march from the territory of Hanover, under .he command of General Bernadotte, will fint form a camp near Seligenstadt, in Darmstadt. 'l!.•r march in three columns, each consisting of .5001.1 Men. roaro FEAR/6.10, IN THE ISLAND or ELSA, AU0.25, OR the 22d of this month, a convoy of thirteen ships sailed from this place, under French colours; for Corsica, escorted by a pink, carrying twelve large metal guns. On the way, this flotilla was at.: tacked, off Cape St. Andrea, ten Italian miles from the Tani, by three English brigs. The Captain of the pink gave the signal for those to save themselves who could. It is, however, certain, that four large vessels were taken. The fate of the remainder a: still uncertain; but, it is hoped, that they have reached Corsica. AU these vessels were laden with goods from the Fair of Beaucaire, in the South of France. The cargo of one of the captured ship; alone, is valued at 9.40,000 livres ( I O,Oc•Ol. sterling). VENICE, SEPT. 4. The Austrian army, the line of which extends from the Typol to Venice, amounts to 170,031 men. Ott the .20th of Sepiensber the last troops will ar rive at the points assigned them, whence they are to advai:sce. The headquarters will be at Padua. The new fortifications here are now compLted. The flotilla under the Chevalier Depines ptoteds the seacoast. The French army in Italy exp.ols a reinforcement. The whole Vene:ian S:ate of troops, but principally the city of Venice its-f. Tweive thou ssnd frontier troops have arrived here, on board of fifty •ess:ls, and a greater numl.er is etre/el. Three or four millions of cannon-bal.s have lately been brought hither. The park of asullery at Udine, consists of 240 pieces of cannon. BASLE, SEPT. 11. We expeet every day the entrance of Austrian troops into our cantons, opposite I3regenz and Lin da°, as also into the Grisons. The Emperor Napoleon has ordered the Land:mt. man Gluz to raise 30,000 men, to maintain the neutrality. FROM Tel *ATAV!AN STATE GAZETTE, SEPT. 22. We are informed, that, immediately after the departure of the French and Batavian Army of In vasion, the most eflicacious measures were taken to make the English repent any fresh attempt they may make against this republic, if they should have forgotten the unlucky termination of their ex pedition in 1799. The principal points of our Re public, against which any attempt of that kind might be direQed, are put in a sufficient state of defence, whilst the necessary re:nforcements of French troops will arrive in our Republic in a few days, if it should be required. Preparations are likewise making to take every requisite step for the security of Amsterdam ; not from any apprehen sion that any thing will be attempted by the enemy against that city, but to give a clear moot to the inhabitants of this commercial city, so important to Holland, and to all Europe, of the unlimited car': of the Governmeat, for all that can set sr • not only for their vcurity, but also for their perfea ease b front without and within. BERLIN, SEPT. 21. lie d,y before yesterday a great Council of State WAS held at the Palace, at which were present His Serene Highness the Duke of Brunmick, hield- Marshal Mollendorf, the Ministers Schulenburg. Hardenburg, and Haugwitz, Lieutenant-General Ruchel, and Major-General Hnckritz. Since this Council, every thing seems to announce great events ; the whole army is put on the war footing, and all the garrison of Berlin is to be ready to march in five days. A great quantity of artillery has already been sent to Magdeburg and Graudenz. AU the officers and soldiers, out on furlough, are ordered to join their regiments as soon as possible. The King has lately received a letter from the Emperor of Russia, written with His Imperial - jesty's own hand. The General in Chief, Count Buxhoefden, is ex petted here from St. Petersburgh ; it is said, that his mission is of the greatest importance. WT. 22. To-day the Cabinet Minister, Count Haugwi.: set out on his journey for Vienna. Su extraordinary an ailivity has not been observed in our Cabinet for many years, as prevails at the present moment. Conferences are held alm^"t dai:y, either with His Majcsty, or with the Minister, Hardenberg. Numerous couriers arrive and Os part ; and we are in expeelation of great and it t portant results. WEIMAR, SEPt. 27. The whole Prussian army is placed on the war thoting, as it is determined to maintain a neu trality in the strictest manner, and to suffer no pa.- sages of troops. Every hope, however, is enter tained, that the neutrality will not he disturbed. LEIPZIG, SIFT. 22. It is understood that the Emperor of Russia will have an interview with the King of Prussia, at Bri sac, in Lithuania, at wh'ch the Emperor of Ger many will likewise, probably, be pre.ent. Nothing is, however, as yet known with certainty on tl:is siwtojed. V ,2:
