Since it is known that the Emperor of Russia ar- rived at Berlin, on the 2rith ult. and will be a t Vienna on the sth inst. we wish to know on wha. day he will appear at the head of his army. 'l'h• journies from ore 0,11 z to another appear very ex tranr.lHary to Frenchmen, who are accustomed tc see their Emperor, in the moment of danger, at the head of the army ; and who does not visit Sove reigns except to re-establish them in the capitals of their States. The corps under Marshal Augereara arrived rn• the 27th ult. at Fribourg, in the Brisgau, after having descended the Rhine, along the great road, leading from Bale to Fribourg. The whole of the troops quitted that country on the 21th, in or.ler to proceed by Cry Black Forest, and the valley of Ke,l, to Bll.ngen and K , nu•eil, from whence they will conti,tue tn. ix mach to Pfulendorf and Sto,kach, in Suabia. They began to levy contributions in the Brisgau, where a French Commissary was expeet••d to take upon him the administration of the country, for the use of the Grand Army.

HAMM/Wm MAILS, HAGUE, NOV. J. We now know the motives of the sudden real of the Swedish C4arge d'.4traires in Sunny. The Count d'Asel Fersen, Marshal of the Court of S!nc k holm, is still at Dresden, where he appears publicly with the Cross of M. Louis. The French Minister, M. Dur.m.i. complained respelling this circumstance to the Cuurt, who enjoined the Count de Ferscn to abstain from wcar!ng the decoration of that order. The Count communicated these circumstances to the Kiug of Sweden, who immediately recalled his Charge d'Aj"..ie, 4. The Ciarge (I'dltrairrt of Sax ony, at Stockholm, has received orders from his So vereign to gait immediately the Swedish States. Letters from P.tssau, of the 2tith, announce, that the Russians who had appeared on the banks of the Tim, and had even sent detachments to the left bank of that river, have been ordered to take a new position, on receiving intelligence of the march of the grand French army towards the Inn. This line extends from Instaff, on the Danube, along the right bank of the Inn, to the mouth of the Salta ; and from thcnce along the Salta, by Diff hingen, Riech enhall, and Betstotsgaden, where its left wing is sup ported on the Tyrol. 't he Austrian General Kien mayer, who commanded on this point, has been sus pended by General Meerfeldt. A German Newspaper states, that the Hanoverian Legion, from England, had disembarked at Bre merle. Letters from Ratisbon, by an extraordinary cou rier, speak of an engagement, on the 24th, between the Russians, and the Bavarn-Palatine troops ; in which the latter were forced to retreat, with the loss of 1,100 prisoners, and several pieces of cannon. The same letters add, that General Kutusow had determined to abandon the Inn. and retire to IVels, to wait for reinforcements. The Archduke Charles is also expedited from Italy, witlt an army of 50,000 Mn. The Archduke Charles may come, but it is impossible he can bring 50,000 men. If he does, the troops under the orders of Marshal Massena, will then form the right wirg of the army of Ger. many. Prince Ferdinand has reached Bohemia, but in such a deploi.ible state, that he was, literally, with out a shoe to his toot. The servants of the young Baron de Rev.il, conveyed hither, and resigned to bit Lather, the reniiiins of his son, who was killed, defending himself in his light against the French chasseurs. 1 , 4)T1'.:E OF rim UPERATIONS OF THE ARMY OF The strong redoubts of CaWier° and be Colog• onl.-, have been carried ; 2000 prisoners are the fruits of chic anion. The bead-quarters are at lieutebello. We are under Vicenza.—(Mentire).) It is %seders:nod, that a corps of 21,000 French Inups is is full march for the D. 0.4111411 territory, , the advanced guard, consisting of 2000 =en, ac cording to our Papers, has already mired on the frontiers. The Vienna Court Gaseite, of the 26th of Otiober, contains an account of dui proceedings of the army Puler the command of the Archduke Ferdinand, from the 11th of 06lober to the surrender of Ulm. tho 14th is said to have been a but and bloody day, vi Rory at last favoured the enemy, on account of their superiority in numbers, and the advantageous position they had obtained, by the violation of the territory of Anspach. Ulm was obliged to surrender on the 17th.— 'l7he conditiiins of the capitulation ate net, as yet, known, nor the remote or proximate causes which led to this event, possible, at present, to be ex plained. The loss, it is added, is certainly of im purtance, but not overwhelming and decisive ; the Austrian monarchy having numerous resources in its faith'ul and brave subjeets, and the ail of the triegnat.itoous sovereigns of Russia and Priicsia. (General Mack's mune is not mentioned in this account.) TWIN..., OCT. 26. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia is expeaed here in the course of the ensuing week. It is said that His Royal liighness the Archduke Charles will take the command of the army of Gerinany, 411:1 that of Italy will be commanded by the Archduke Ferdinand. General Mack is arrived here, and, it is said, has brought propositions of peace ; but, unless they are very honourable, they will not beaccepted. OCT. SO. (r,n i n the Court Gazette ) His Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, Mini ster at ‘Var, and Commander in Chief in Italy, has communicated advices from his Head-quarters, at St. Stephan , , of the date Oa. 19, that the enemy, on the lath, at five in the morning, commenced hostili ties, by a brisk fire of artillery and small ar ms, on several points of the Adige. I lis (Net was, to en. gage the attention of the army at several places, and attempt a passage ; and he, in fait, succeeded in passing the river near Verona, and likewise at Bonavigo. The passage at the former of these places could not be contested with him, on account of his advantageous situation, protefted by Castel Vecchio; and, at the latter, it was favoured by a strongly fortified Island in the Adige, and the assist ance of several mills and boats. His Royal Highness judging, that his right wing, resting against Caldiero, would be strong enough to reiit the enemy near Verona, and feel ing more dicriiinde for his left wing, proceeded no Ow I I 1,, in Om rveninly, with the centre of his army, towards Caldi Setto, in order to attack the enemy at day-break, in three columns, at Albaredo. Pitastro, and St. Stephan di Minerva, near Bina vigil. He did not, however, wait this attack, but left the bank of the Adige in the night, and destroy ed his bridge. His Royal Highness, on his return to St. Ste phan°, learned, that the enemy had, in like manger, abandoned the heights he had occupied near Verona, and retired under the artillery of Castel Vecchio ; ind that he had left on this side, only one post, under the protelion of his batteries, which his Royal Highness proposed to attack the next day. The enemy has, as yet, attempted nothing against the Tyrol, nor against the troops posted on the Inn. The battles he has been obliged to fight in the en virons of Ulm, have greatly weakened his army. His Majesty the Emperor and King, says the same Gazette, accompanied by Count Lamberti, has set out for the Austro-Russian army on the Inn, in order to make, in person, such dispositions as circumstances may require. • It is said the Archduke Charles will leave Italy, and likewise repair to that irruy, whence he will return to this city, with his august brother, to re ceive the Emperor of Russia. The head-quarters of this army, which has been joined by a strong Rus sian division, are at Branpau. The principal corps of the Russian army is more in the rear ; and Gene ral Kutusow has his head-quarters at Ems. General Mack has been sent provisionally, as a state prisoner to Brunn, where a council of war will be held upon his condud. _ _ PAS AU K OCT. 2:3. The fortress of Oberhaus, near Passau, after hav ing been clo•ely blockaded by the Austrians and Russians, and after being twice summoned, refused to surrender, was to-day carried by assault at five in the morning. NANA lt, NOV. 2. General Kutusow occupies a camp near Welt, on the great road from Salzburg to Linz, to avoid being turned by the French army, the right wing of which was to arrive near Salzburg on the 25th of 01tober ; and, in order to form a junetion with the Russian troops. which are on their march, and with the reinforcements from the Hereditary States. We arc assured, that besides tbese,s'),ooo men from the army of Italy are advancing by forced marches into Austria, and that they will be repLicril by Russian creeps from Corfu. H A NOVat. 16011. k We ire awned, that the Prussian troops Mitt re • ceived orders to halt, and to remain in thelltaces where they may happen to be. There is much talk here of a Convention, said to be concluded on the 3tst of ()&olier, by virtue of which. the Eleitera!e of Hanover will be occupied by 3sooo Prussian troops; for the maintenance of two-thirds of which. His Prussian tsl..jesty will pro vide, and the Fie&orate for ti.er rest. It is adJed, that contrads have already been signed for the sup plies necessary for this army. Prussian troops which were at Lensen, passed the Elbe on the Ist inst. and will arrive in a few Jays at Fallersblar, Meinersen and Gef horn. wrotsAw, OCT. '23. We eve& here, in a few days, a corps of ti ),000 Russians, which will pass throuol Southern Prussia. on their way to their destination. FRANI:TORT, tic r. 29. Letters from Swabia assert, that the Emperor of the French admitted Gen. Nlack, bLtore his &par tnre for Austria, to several audiences ; and gave him tw© letters, written with his own hand, for the Emperor of Austria; in one of which he highly praises the plans of Gen. Mack, which, he says, only failed, because he was not seconded by his Generals. In the other letter, the Emperor Napoleon makes very liberal propositions to the Emperor of Austria, to induce him to make a separate peace Mack is the only one of the Austrian Generals who has ob tained permission to cross the French army, and re turn into Austria by the way of Munich. It is be lieved, likewise, that the dispatches transmitted by the Emperor of the French to the Archduke Ferdi nand, contain also propositions of peace. The Eleflor of Bavaria, when on the paint of setting out for Munich, on Saturday last, received a courier, which induced him to suspend his departure. NUREINISEIG, UCT. O. According to accounts from the Inn, the grand French army has, in part, passed that river. In two places, it is said, they found no troops ; and, in the third, no resistance. nine(' Murat is like wise advancing to the Inn, with a strong coups, estimated at 30,000 men. ist r. or !worm, gov. 1. His Swedish Majesty arrived at half after two in the afternoon, at Pirth, from YstaJt ; he will to morrow make his entrance into Strals:ind. •LrosA, SOV. B. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the King of Pxu,►ia, and the Archduke Antony, have frequent conferences at Potsdam. The executive commission at Hanover has ',,een dissolved, .nd the old gov-rnment re-established. Three thousand Rus,ians entered Ratzoburg on the 27th of Otiober, and marched on the next day for Lasebourg. Ten thousand Prussian infantry, and five regi ments of cavalry, have halted at Lengen, where, it is said, they will stay a fortnight. RETRACT Of A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED HAM- tumor', Nov. H. " Lord Harrowby is Alteady arrived, and on his journey to Berlin, where his presence will decide matters. " General Mack was put into prison as soon as he arrived at Vienna, where a council of war will be held on his condud. " It is confidently reported, that an offensive and defeasive alliance between Prussia and RUSSIA is concluded and signed." THE BRITISH PRESS. I.ON DON, FRIDAY, Novsyee• 15. Last morning, the four Hamburgh Mails due, ar rived, with letters and Papers to the 9th isetant ; and, last night, we received French Papers, av ex rttrss from Paris, to the Ads. The Hamburgh Pa pers place the affairs of the Continent in rath.zr a favourable light, and, in a great measure, dispel that gloom which the French accounts had thrown over the military operations in Germany. Pe Vienna Court Gasette, of the 30;h, admits, that the battle of the 11th, at Ulm, was attended with great loss ; but asserts, that it was neither decisive nor overwhelming, and that Austria is still rich in re sources. It also accounts for the pause which took place in the career of the French, since the capitula tion of that fortress. The Preach were so much reduced, by the series of hard fighting which they encountered from the opening of the campaign, that they became unable to attempt any thing upon the Inn, or in the Tyrni, up to the 306. The Paris papers, in a great measure, confirm the account of 74e Vienna Court Gazette. They contain letters from Passau of the 26th, which state, that, at that date, the Austro-Russian line mended from In sroffdt, upon the Danube, along the right bank of the Inn, to the rrr,uth of the Salza ; and from thence, along the &ilia, to Berstotsg iden, wl left wing is supported on the Tyrol:- If c French pushed some detachments across thr Isin previous to the 27th, as stated in le.ters lruar It:- sr-sick, and other places, they must have withdrawn them. It may be seen, on reference to the map, that the line occupied by the Austro-Russian army along the Inn and the Sala r, is much stronger than that occupied by the Austrian army alone, tinier Prince Ferdinand at Ulm. It will be seen also, that it approaches more nearly to the army of Italy, and tends to consolidate the whole Austrian force against the enemy. The rifftlfol Court Cosate of the 10th, contains also an account of the affair of the 13th, upon the Adige, V. hich the French Papers insgrti heel into a vielory. It states, that Mossts, com menced his operations on the morning of that day, at Verona and Bonavigo, two ptsints,which, from the advantageous position of the F rench,neither were,nor could Ise comes:ed. The Archduke Clue Les, con sidering his right suiNc.ently strong to repel any at tack on the side of Veroaa, proceeded with his centre towards Calde Sett°, to support his left, for which he entertaiaed considerable anxiety. MASSLY A, however, did not await his arrival, hut with lrew from that point, on the banks of the Adige, in the night of the 18th. The As CllOl rte then returned with his centre to the right, w! en !.e found that M ASSENA had abandoned that quarter also, and withdrawn his troops from the heights nt Verona. But the papers carry the Military operations its Italy down to the 29th, and state, that the strc ng redoubts of Caldiero and De Coloqunle have been carried by the French, who made 2,0 ar pri soners, and were then under the walls of Vic..a.za, about half way between Venice and Verona. The Emperor Of GIKNIANY was expelled at the army on the Inn, and General MACK has been sent StAta prisoner to Brune. A division of 6°,000 R,-.- 4ans was expelled at Warsaw on the tad of Oft , :. ber, on their march through Southern Prussia. An other division arrived At Ratzburgh on the 27th, sin its march to Luneburgh. A third division pined the Elbe on the Ist instant. It is said, that the Archduke CIIARLES is to command the Army in Germany, which will be reinforced by 50,000 men from tl.e army of Italy. The place of the latter will be suppl,,il by a Rus sian force from Corfou.
