Extracts from the Dutch Papers contain, under the'date of the'very iniportant informatitia that the 'Tyrol is again free—that Bavaria has vo luntarily relinquished the share of that country which 'shefformerly received as the boon of the Usurper. Twenty thousand, brave mountainetirs . are already in arms. The Brenner Pass is, in their possession, and Brixeu has been entered. — An Italy lies before them, , and the noble work which the preliminaries of Leobeu prevented in 1707, when JOUIIERT fled in this direction, is again in progress. We hope no new negociations will Impede its completion. We have not time at present .to inquire where Bavaria is to have her indemnity—it ,must be out of the eon:lusts of Prance. it is a week to-morrow since any French Papers were received.
