We hear that the displeasure of the House of Austria against the Eledor of Bavaria took its rise in consNnence of the intercepted correspondence, which had been porlitined by a Prussian fugitive from the Cabinet of Marquis Lucche%ini. Papers have been (lurid in it, which give to understand a close conneaion het seen France and Bavaria. It is certain that these Papers haye sot into the bands of the Austrians; for while the fugitive was pursued in Frankfort by the French Ambassador, be found 'means to. secrete himself in the Imperial house of rosidezvous, from which • he 'was brought cut as a recruit, and coududed out of Frankfort: PLOY IKZ MAINE, OCT. 1. According to general report, the greatest part of the Saxon army is to be put on the war establibli ment. The Emperor has left Munich, on his return to Vienna. All the tre..ns, which were in the firit mentioned city, except SAO men, have marched from thence. A large column of Atrariart troops were. to-flay, to pass the Danube near Donauwerth and Newburg. On the 24th Sept. the head-quarters of General fi:enau were at Waldsees. All the roach is Tyrol, leading from Swabia and Bavaria, are defended by entrenchments, and occu pied by troops. The redoubts near Rent's, which the French destroyed last war, are restored. The entrenchments, at the defiles near Ehrenbers, have also been repaired. The Austrian piquet, on the 27th, at Pfortheim, consisted of somt hundreds of Uhlans and Dragoons. The French euterzd that place during the night of the 27th and ZBth. WURTZTIUROU, OCT. 1. On the 28th ult. Marshal Bernadotte departed from hence. The march of the Frer.ch proceeds without cessation ; the head-quarters were yesterday at Fbernach, three hours from Bamberg. The Marshal was received here in a most .iistinguished manner, by the Elefloral Family. Before h:s de parture, General Marmont arrived here. El. Loral Commissaries are posted on all the roads to provide necessaries for the army. This citadel has also been provisioned. An exchange of Couriers has constant ly taken place between this city and Berlin. It ap pears that the journey of our Elei9or to Amherg had positively a military ebjeft, and there is reason to crinjetture, that our army will shortly break tip in the Upper Palatinate, for Franconia, and that, in ease of a war, the Elcaor will command it in person. TR ASK rORT. OCT. 1. According to letters from Rastadt, Prince Murat had-arrived there on the 27th ult. and the next day set off for Carlsrithe, to the headquarters of Marshal Ney, both of whom proceeded the same evening for Pforzheim, whence a French column had pre viously received orders to march. The column tinder the command of Marshal Davonst, on its way from Manheim, is marching over Heidelberg along the Neckar, for Heilbron, where the outposts arrived on the 29th. Of the right wing of the French army nothing further was known, than that the Kneibis had been occupied, and that the French troops patroled already in the environs of Nagold. Of Marshal Sonit's column, which had passed near Huningen, nothing new was known ; it ic, however, certain, that, to the 211th, not a shot had hen fired. The Austrians were marching backwards at all piiints, in order to concentrate their forces. We hear that entrenchments are throwing up, fiorn stage to stage, behind the Iller. from Kempten to Vim, at wbich no less than 12,000 Suabian and Lvarian peasants were labouring. The works of Ulm and Memmingen are undergoing considerable hiiinainnents. OCTOC CR 2. All the intelligence we receive, induces us to be lieve that every thing is not to be despaired of; that, in the midst of t::c most serious preparations, negotiations continue, or that at I•List a respectable Power is making the gr-atest efforts to renew nego cistions. We see that the Frencli alone can gain by the war, and, as they have not provoked it, we shall consider an arrangement as possible, till the first gun has been fired . We may conii.ler, as a remarkable thing in the ptesent circumstances, the meeting of the French, Austrian, Russian,' and Prussian Ministers, at a Meat &finer given on the 22J ult. by the Arch Chancellor's Minister.

Notwithstanding what has been said in the public journals, that all Franconia would be permitted to remain neutral in the approaching war, there does not appear to be sufficient foundation for the hope of what is so much to be wished.—( frurisburgh Ga zette). SIPT. 27. Marshal Bernadotte is expetted to arrive here to morrow. Yesterday. some officers and war com missaries arrived here to prepare quarters. This town and fortress will soon be occupied by the French. the corps of Bernadotte and Mar mont, with which other troops will form a junction, seems to be intended to advance on the lank of the Austrians. ■•TISROM.

If we may credit some of the German Journals, a misunderstanding begins to break out between the Russians and their hosts, on the subject of routes and indemnities. The Austrian Commissaries have pointes: inn to the Russian Generals routes, but they have been entirely disapproved of. They reproach Austria with having treated them with parsimony, and harassed them with forced marches. They observe, that an auxiliary army ought to be careful not to exhaust its strength. In consequence, the Russian Generals themselves fix the marches of their troops ; but that which they demand most impe riously is, that all expences should be paid. They loudly assert, that England pays for every thing they can possibly want. The Officers treat the Post masters with a violence which they are wholly un accustomed to, and which recalls to their memory the passage of the Russians daring the last war.— It is said, that having beaten an unhappy postilion, who died of his wounds, the Magistrates of the place sought to secure the criminals, and assert the execution of the laws. All the inhabitants were risen, when a Russian General arrived, who rescued, by force of arms, the officers detained, and coolly said to the Austrian Magistrates, " Wh:.t a piece of work is here about a trifle ! what is the price of a Geman postillion ? let it be paid, and let there be an end of the matter !" These scenes are not adapted to tranqaillise the villages through which the Russianarmiesare to pass.—( Casette a F,...scal. • MAGUS, SEPT. 28.

About a century ago, during the reign of Joseph f. in 1701,, the regular troops amounted to 133,000 men. Under Maria Th .in 1745, the regular army consisted of 200,000 men, and about half a century afterwards, in ISO% Francis 11. had a land force, consisting of 495,000. The number of fo reigners in the Austrian army is about 55,000. The maintenance of these troops costs the state annually 26 millions of guilders, and, in time of war, from 50 to 60 millions. With the increase of the army, the revenues of the State have likewise considerably augmented, so As to enable the Sove reign to provide for such an enormous expenditure. The revenues in 1768 were 90.441,147 guilders and at present they amount to between 115 and 120 millions, and may certainly be raised still higher, if Austria is enabled t 3 avail herself completely of this vast resources she powerless.
