The above were accused as authors, printers, and publisher: of libels, that have appeared against His Majesty the Emperor and King, and his armies,and composed with a view to mislead the minds of the inhabitants of the South of Germany; as they tend to encourage them to sedition, insurredlion, ancb,a ination, against the French troops, and even to seduce the latter, and to lead them to dis obey ar.d forget their duties to their legitimate Sore. reign.

The Commission consulted together, with dosed doors. Consider:ng that wherever there is an army, it must be the first and principal care of the Chief to provide for its security and preservation ; that the circulation of suck storks as excite to insurrection and murder, not only threaten the safety of the ar my, but of nations ; that nothing is of greater im portance than to check the progress of a doarine tending not only to overthrow the rights of natior.s, the respell due to crowned heads, and, in A - word, all order and subordination ; The cnmmission declared unanimously, that all the Anthers, Printers, and PubTisberS of the abovr m•ntionesi [Ads, must be considered guilty of high treason. 0.1 which the President proposed the fol lowing questions : I.

The Hamistugh Mail, due on Sunday se'nnighr, and that due en Wednesday last, arrived yesterday, with Letters and Papers to the 20th. On the Itch inst. the whole Prussian army of Silesia, amounting to 30,0110 men, u4der Prince HOH alumna, crossed the Elbe, near Dresden ; and the French troops, at the same date, were concentrating themselves in the neighbourhood of Bayreuth and Coboargit.— From the proximity of these 21.sces, it is pro bable that a blow has been struck before this time. It is said, that a Russian army of 130,000 men has arrived on the confine; of Silesia. Private letters add a report, that the Emperor of RLsssa has taken possession of Prussia Pruner, and, even Konigsberg itself, as a security that Prussia will aCt in concert with the allies, in the approach ing war. Of the co-operation of Saxony and Hesse in the common cause, no doubt was ever enter tained. The troops of both these powers are in I motion. Those of the former amount to 23,000 men. The Austrians, in the mean time, are not idle. By the great exertions of the Archduke CHARLES, the Austrian army has been placed on the most respeaalde footing. A considerable Park of Artil lery is established near Brunn, and prodigious quantities of ammunition and stores have also been collated. The I - lamburgh Papers also furnish a new proof of the fraud and diplomatic dexterity of BONAP•Str B. The signing of D'Ouseies treaty, at Paris, and the confident anticipation of its ra tification by the Emperor ALEXANDER, were industriously cirzulated over the Continent, by the hhtwspaper Agents and Emissaries of France. The wily Corsican hoped by this means to pocsrss him self before-hand of all the advantages stipulated by the treaty ; and, in order to encourage the delu sion, it was reported from every quarter of Ger many, that the French troops had received orders to return home, while not a sing)... move ment was made in the direction of France. miless as a feint to favour the artifice. In this state of thing., the Austrian General, BLLL t- GA R DS, presence! before Cattaro, and summoned the place to surrender; but the Russian Commandant knew his duty, and atied v.ith due csution.—He threatened to treat the Austrians as e::emies, should they attempt a I.sn,:ing ; and Cc.. neral Best.toasnk I:riving failed in tire o;j 4 of li' s mission, returned to T. leste.—T.. the carfilesae the French Government, in the success cf ci. s stratagem, may be ascribed the .nurnerows reps.- ; of the anual surrender of CAtt4to WV, to good an opinion of Austria, however humbled as,{ reduced, to rap pose, that by senchng this force, and by making this summons, she wished to extent a p re . mature surrender of the place. She could ha% only meant to preserve her honour, a;.d kvep faith with the French Government.

Mr. JOHNSON landed at Deal. at two o'clock, and set out immediately for London. He arrived in town at two o'cicck'yesterday morning. The arrival of a Messenger occasioned no material alteration in the funds. —Ornniarn was 71, and Consols 631. On Saturday, they left off at 7:, and Consols at 631. This slight depreciation was at tributed to a report contained in our Deal letter, that BONA PARTE and T•L [YOUNG) have departed from Paris, tc join the army destined to contend with the Prussians. BON•PARTC having takes TALLMAN° with him, it should seem as if be welted to be as stir cessful over Prussia as he was over Austria, and mule sure of enabling his Minister TA L LEVI AWD to negotiate a peace as humiliating to the Cabinet of Berlin, as the peace of Preslitrigh was to the Cabinet of Vienna. About two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at Viscount Ilowicit's Office, upon the dispatches brought by Mr. Junisson.—lt was attended by all Vie Cabinet Ministers in town.—Tbe Council sat until four o'clock.
