To day the following French Impen 11 Declara tionwas delivLied to the Diet, by the Elenor Arch Chancellor, priated and communicated to all the sue:abets : %car. " The Note which the Undersigned, by order of his most Serene Sovereign, laid before the Diet, on the I Ith tat Sep tember, has sufficiently sheen, with what sentiments the Erneerar of the French is animated, what are his dearest *wines, and what tlitt hiroes he ardently cherishes. Austria, hasse.er, which is rev - dyed nil war, and shuts every opening • negociation and siiproach, as if fearful of being brouglat buds to otod-rate and just sentiments, has sulfrred her troops to pass the Inn, and overrun Bavaria. She has trodden under foot the constitution, violated the peace, and annulled the Terra of the German ErnpUw—a recess which so essentially in- Welted France, since it was the result of her meiliati.m. "The !louse of Austria thus proceed, towards thy objed she •as :impute , ' to herself, not by circuitous ways, by secret at tacks, by the slow and dark measures of art and craft, but .peal.', and with armed force; and this object it no other then f. ann hilate th constitution of the tal.rnean Empire, destroy fns principles, overrun with her troops the States placed nods., Ms protection, and oil their ruin to establish her tyrannical do- Minion, and the sulneftieu of Germany.

" The Einivor has only one obje&—this consists iii repll ing the unjust avails, and restoring the independence of the iindy of the German Empire, which has been attacked by the usurpations, unjust acquisitions, and al. of •ioleiire of the Court of Vienna. lie will retain poss”ssion of none of the territories of Germany, which may fall into his hands by the ,•ate dams.

" The Undersigned, who is commissioned by the present do claration, to give a new proof of the benevolent Fare of His Welty, the Emperor of the French, esteems himself happy in fulfilling an agreeable a duty.

The Russian army already marched amour.ts to 320,000 men, the army of reserve consists of 300,000, and a general recruiting has taken place, which is to produce 250,000 more. YSTED. OCT. 2..

The German Legion began to embark yes— terday. at the ports in the Isle of Thanet, and will positively sail to-morrow, should the wind and weather permit them. Their stores are shipping at Portsmouth, at which place, an order for that purpose was received on Monday. The troops are commanded, tri by Gireral Des. The ultimate and permanent command is a question of considerable doubt and d..licacy. As we stated yesterday, the troops are certainly destined fur Stralsund, where they expeß to be joined by the Swedes and Ilussi.uss. Should the Krag of SMLUEN command the united force in person, His Royal Highness, the Duke of CAMIRIDUS, will command the Hanoverian Army, under Ilk MAJLST ; but, if that should not prove the case, Russia, whose contribution w:11 be the largest part of the Com bined Force, wiil probably appoint the Commander in-Chet of the whole. That appointment v. ill, of course, vest in the General of the Itiissian Contin gent, who is inferior in rank and dignity to His ROYAL. HICIOII3S. Ws ROYAL. RI<INIMU, there , fore, will not, in that event, accept a command in the Expedition. Three Gottenburgh Mails, and the Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived late on Wednesday night, with letters and papers to the 9th instant, which were delivered yesterday. We have extracted from them the Note presented by Citizen Bac litß, the French Chirp der .4,faiiet, to the Diet at Ra tisbon, to which we alluded yesterday. It is full of rant our and violence against Austria, and charges her, whether at peace or at war, the ally or the enemy of Bavaria, with mAitating the destruc tion of the political existence of that Eledorate. BONAP•RTIi has, no doubt, produced evidence of this charge. sufli.:ient to convince the ELEcx oa, and thus won him to his side. The convention between them was executed the 27th of Septem ber. It stipulates, that the Bavarian troops shall join the French army, and that the fortress of Wurtz burg shall be delivered up to the latter, both which conditions have been carried into effed. The Emperor ALEXANDER left Petersbitrgh, to join his army, on the 2lst of September. On the 27th, he was at Brzec, and intended to proceed, with all possible speed, to Vienna, where great prepara tions are making for his reception. The Russian armies, on their march to co-operate with Austria, are stated, in letters front Petershurgh, at 321,000 men. The army of reserve amounts to 30,1,000, and a new recruiting, of four in every 500 persons, has been ordered to take place immediately, which will produce an additional force of 250,000 men. The fist Russian column, consisting of 9,000 men, arrived at Lemberg on the 30th of August ; the se cond, of 11,000 men, on the Ist of September ; the third column, of 13,000 men, on the 5.1 of Septem ber; and on the Sth and 7th of September, two other columns, each consisting of 11,000 men—in all 56,000, which were expefted to reach the Bava rian frontier, about the Bth instant. It would be there joined by a corps of Austrians under Gene ral KIENSMETER, and this united force would form the advanced guard of the main army. —The atrocious violations committed by Bona iss.vre against the law of nations, and his contempt for the diplomatic charafter, which even in the most barbaroug has L.en held sacred, have induced the Emperor of Ausrata to withhold his pass ports from the FISINCiI AMBASSADOR. at Vienna, till it be known, that Count Coassrzst„ and all the Austrians at Paris, have received their's. A thousand innocent viEtims in France, now suf fering all the miseries of poverty, sickness, and cap tivity, plead the necessity of this cautious proceed ing, on the part of Austria. Yesterday, the RUSSIAN ANNASSADOIL transaeted business at Lord MULCSAVeS Ofli ce. Yesterday, about three o'clock, the Lord Caws- CELLOR called upon Mr. Pax. In a short time after, they went to Lord Mus.otaav►'s Office, where A Cabinet Council was held. Dispatches, of an important nature, were forward ed on Wednesday by Mr. SPASItOW, the Messen ger, to tit. Pctersburgh, for Lord GRANVILLL LE visott Gowet.

No intelligence has yet been received from Ad miral S r LING ; but, as the Rochfort Squadron continued cruising in nearly the same latitude in which they captured the Calcrita, there is every reason to hope, that the gallant Admiral will fall in with them. the French Squadron was seen on the 26th ult. and on the Ist and 4th instant, by different vessels, and all the accounts concur in stating, that they were cruising in lat. 49.

On Saturday, some strange vessels were observed about the mouth of the Frith, and not answering the signals, the Sea Fenc;bles st Leith and Newhaven were ordered on board the Admiral's ship. the Teael, in Leith Roads, which they obeyed with much alacrity, But a vessel arrived at Leith, stated, that they were a squadron of Russian men of war, and, in coasequense, pilots were sent off to them immediately.

On his entry, he was greeted with repeated plaudits. It is difficult to say in what part he deserved the greaten praise. In the scene with Lab,, Macbeth, where she persuades hint to murder Dancan, his acting was peculiarly fine ; and " I dare do all that MIN become a man who dates d 0 more 14 rume,' was pronounced with an emphasis, which drew down t .unders of applause. The air-drawn dagger scene was also excellent ; but, in the last aCt,whe.re he calls for his armour, he appeared, from the repeated plaudits and shoots of Innai, to have made the greatest impression.
