FROG!! Fiii3Al7ll PAPERS. War his not yet commenced; for rencontres of , advanced pasts, of "which there are no official acs counts, or even authentic relations, scat mot be re garded as battles.-, This War, however, already of-, fen; results iMpoitant for France ; and it is now scarcely doubted that the new Cealition will have an issuestill less.fortunate for the Confederates than the first War of the Revolution. to At, the moment - the French Armies areadvanc ing so rapidly into the Interior of Germany, all Eu rope asks how the Court of 'Vienna, so pelitic and so vigilant reap4ing its interests, could, after the ex perience of the past, resolve' to braee such great dangers, and'why she does not • abandon Allies that. place her in a situation so critical ? But those who examine` the cause of this War, Who know those se cret Views of the Coalition, and particularly that of the House . of 'Austria, can no more be astonished at the Perseverance of the Court of Vi e nna, than at . that of her associates, in pursuing an unjust aggress skit) against France.. History informs ussthat from the accession: of Ronateic, of Hapsburgh, to the Imperial Thorne, but particularly smce the reign of Cw ! ieers V. the House of Austria has not ceased to seek the sove ereigu and absolute dominion of Germany; that with this view, she has favoured, by all the means placed within her power, the diviSions and wars which arose between the Princes of Germany. It was undoubtedly less from teal for the Catholic Religion thati'from the fear of seeing an independent league rising in the bosom of the Empire, interested in sup porting the rights a the Germanic Body, that Cisarti,i s and Ins successors perSecuted with such eagerness the Princes, who had embraced the Re formed Religion. The Emperors of Austriasseenied always to regard Germany less as a fiederal associa tion, of Sovereigns, ,thae as a feudal anarchy, and as a patrimony. ,wrested from their House, because they saw France successively parcelled out under the last Kings of the second races But there ' was to.similerity. between the political organization of the two States. The right of ele6tion, perpetuated in the Princes of the Germanic Body, sate a sove reignty far epterior to that of the House of Austria over all Gerineny, whereas the whole of France had net ceased to have hereditary Kings, and the power of the feudal Barons was nothing - but a very evident invasion of the Royal Power, • ' " This principle being recognized, audit is essential to recognize it. in the question with which we are occupied, it is easy to, appreciate the condo& of the Rouse of Austria towards the Germanic Body. Charged to watch over its Constitution, it has only employed the mans with which it was entrusted , (or its, preteetion to accelerate its ruin. In every War, and ip every Treaty, we see German Princes have recourse s to the intervention of France, and since there has arisen in tin. North a Mdnarchy founded by the courage and the political genius of its first Sovereigns, we have seen' the German Princes more assiduous in cultivating its alliance, and to strengthen the bonds of their mutual independence, than in bowing for the grandeur of 'a House which has' at all times shown itself the enemy' oftheir power, and even of their authority. From this alone We may Conclude that the Princes of Germany always see with regret the Vars in which Austria wishes to en gage them, and are interested in opposing its aggran dizement : this also renders probable all the projeas which have been attributed to that.House—projetts which, at every important epoch, have been remind, end which she thinks, in fine, of realizing in the present conjuncture. a The rumour is at present generally spread in `England, and eves in Getaway, that there is, • in the present War, a proje& of dismembering the Gee. manic Body, and of Substituting one or two great Towers to , the antient Republic of Sovereigns which now govrn Germany. " The English Ministry, who wished at any price to re-kindle the flames of War on the Continent, which they believed necessary to their 'interests, have held out this proica r. they have caressed the secret and ruling polite) of Austria, to determine it to 'undertake a War. so dangerous. The Emperor el Aussis himself has consented to it, in order to fa vour mere remote designs : the Emperor Aeuxats conld not be deterred is) , private considerations, by.fainily ties, which unite him to souse Elettors ; we see froth the openiee of the War, that he can sacrifice them' in case of need, and force . them to throw themselves into the arms of France. Uwe are even te credit reports iiserving of. same confi dence, this plan was opened to the Kits: of Pans sta by the Emperor ALk:XANDICR himself at the in. letidew 'Which these two Sovereigns had at Memel ; and on thareupposition it is Illtely.that a very good lot waroOreti to the Prussian Monarch, to seduce him and make him forget more dear and mom solid interests. But the successor of the Great Fawns SICK has not forgotten that he owes his glory to the system of this political organizationof Germany : the influence which he exercises in that roped is the finest part of his power. Whatever indemnity he might receive elsewhere, it could notcounterbelauce the advantage and the honour of being conjointly with France the natural postaler of the Germanic Liberty. By taking away nil the intermediate Powers which impede the ambition of Austria, he would put himself at her discretion; he could not then lave favoured projeets which would only turn to the vont ptif.blsetatural Enemy ; and the attitlidnylirhich Prussia h.O taken &ufficiendy announces that: Wit. So sereign has not teemed tribe the defender of the Po. tide* COnstitution of Germany. et As to Franco, the Emperor of Germeny might have wished to have trade this the price of Pen, ; but this advantage would luive been too dearly p ees chased by. eternal distarhances. The G e rm an i c Body, placed between the Great Powers, ses a ns, as if ought to be, by the nature at ha organization, as a barrier., against which the tempests excited by jealousy and discord are broken. Every War under taken by Austria al ainit Frani..e has the oppresaien Of Germany for itS Accra objet% or inevitab)e result,: and it is essentially odious to those who have oply losses to fear, acid no benefits to exped. Hence it awes, that France, whenever it has had a vigorous bovernmenta haa always. fornd Allies in Germany 4evoted toiler cause. t respect, they could never have had more confidence; ler never was more courage united with metes inagapimity. The whote, Army is already terieral,flayeluarch u troin the French ProvillCC6 ; 'behind it arise ether s Annies, and the National GLards gird the frontiers with an impene trable wall. These vigorous measures, thase opera tions immense in their gamble, (lave been adopted and exec4ted in a month. • - "But the genius that directs the Armies, conti nues to watch over the interests of the Empire, and of its Allies ; .he prepares Peace in carrying on War, and does not coase,,to aniratethepcuiticaibody,.fromm which he appears distant : when we sea hirrOn the midst of camps lasing sight of no one detail of Ad ministration, he seems to be everywhere in the bosom of his Empire.", Argus.

When the intelligence reached us of the . violation of the Neutrality of - the Prussian Territories by. the French, we ventured to pre did"" that, although &NAPA might derkVe some temporary advantage, from this a6l of aggrts- Sioll, it would ultimately be productive of the most advantugeous consequences to the Cause of the Allies. That predietion has already been, to a cer tain. degree, verified by the permission given by His Pitt7SKl M I 1'.31' . 1" to the Allies to march threugh . his ,Dtintiiiiont; but we have reason to hope that it will iir. a short time lead to.events still more fit. youtable.rit to! .lAore . . The Russians have marched from Stralsund, and, the last accounts state, that they had arrived at Schwerin ; and it ,is stated in the Mail which. ar. , rived this morning, that an 'Arrnrof 50,000 Itus sians are ott their march thioligit the King of Pays- StAIS Polish Dominions. Tim Rao:burgh Mail due yesterday arrived this morning. \Vu had anxiously expected some further newt{ from the Continent, ,in order to elucidate the, posi tions of the Artniee, and we particularly looked for the Austrian account of the anion,• of the result of which the French boaA 8o" much. We are, how. ever, completely disappointed, at least' in the latter instance, as no aceount whatever . (except French) is brought by the Mail oe anY :talon fought at Wertin. gee. There are Letters from Ratishon of the loth and t tth instant, which state, that the French 'it'd passed the Danthe at Nteuberg and at In. goistadt, but not only they do not say one word of any ton having taken place, but they state that no general staion had taken place, and . that the Aus'• trims were retiring for the papaw of concentrating their Forces. We are utterly at a loss to reconcile these statements with the previous accounts, unless it is meant to be conveyed by the tiff cards no . gene ral rtaion," that only a few skirmishes •had" , taken place, which were not worth mentioning. BONA vArra's head-quarters were, at the date of these Letters, near Angsburgh, and Br aNADo TT a was marching to Munich. A Letter from Ulm, of the sth, states, that the Head-quarters of the Austrian Army were then at that place, to which they had been removed on the Bth. We have next a letter from Wurtzhurgh, of the iith, which oddly enough :announces the receipt of Letters from Augsbargh, of the mit, stating, that , the Austrian Army wider the Archduke VERDI» WAND, Mt Ullli, were cut. ott by the march of the French—that BOWAPPOtrieS' Read-quarters were, then at ,Atigtibtirgittillt 'llettitAnorra. had entered Munich et the head of 40,04)6 men—that the Rus sians bad not then entered BaYaria, and that 20,000 Austrians Wens marching limn Italy, iu , consegtience of which it was.stipposed the opportunity would be , seized by the French of making an attack uvon .the Austrians in Italy. : This Letter, : however, from Wurt thurgh, bears evident marks of Fieneh m atilleaa• tura, and we cannot conceive, Without the Most certain and. well authOntiPattld intelligence that the Austrians would, sutTer edeniseives to be so entirely cut oi' as the-French statements;would have us believe. At the saute tune, the positions dtbc.Freneliappear cur . tainlyth to be interposed between e 4ustriwut and the march of the Itusslans; tuts sinless Bo SI A PAlqootllti succeed in the course of a few days in forcing the po sitions of the Austrians, who were strotigly 1 flacon. trated, and who oAdentiy avoided .a battle, hv would himself bp Oacoft In a moot hwordous and prtritpti4 situatiou, as, he would be between ,t-110 the nussians, whilst, to defeat' the latier , s,pr;itcly',, would bit no easy task. I dis evident,. ing the differ ant acr.ouuts, that the Adtrians retired without attempting a battle; and by this corlduti Ilosiarawrz may be placed in a worse situa tion ten-fold than W an a&ion had . taken place. Thii • Aetion at Wertingen, of which the French' boasted so much, must -have been little more than a mere skirmish, and the rest a mere war of posts. BONAPARTE seems, in his rapid march, to have dared his fortune to the utmost, and perhaps may find it desert him at - the most critical moment. Another 4tter from Wurtzbut,of the t i th,states, that the VatiOf the Russians bad arrived at Braunau, on the Inn, and that another Column was at Wald- Munchen, on the Frontiers of Bohemia 'The Fiench are said to have taken".s-oon Prisoners at Hoeclistett. No particulars are however given, and we look with a very suspicioui eye Upon 'Letters frimi Wuitzburg, which, it is well known, is in the possession of the French. We are Still of opinion that the Austrian main Army remain' strongly concentrat e d and uri-; touched. . , We received this morning the following . Letter by the hithpft Mail. LISBON,OCT. i i.—Lord NE' LSO 14 was on Cadiz, with thirty Sail of the Line, on the 4th inst. It is ,expeaed that his Lordship 'will attempt something against the Combined Fleets. , We learn from a Cor respondent at Gibraltar, that the Transports forming the Expedition under Sir JANIZS Car,' in have sailed down the Mediterranean : unless they are to aet against Cadiz there is no accounting for this measure. '• General JUNQT is recalled, it h said, to take an important command. " A cbange of Administration is expeaed to take place heie immediately." We stated yesterday that there was every reason to hope, that all the ships which were bound to Lisbon had escaped the Rochefort Squadron, and - arrived at the place of their destination. The Oporto Fleet, a part of which it is supposed has been captured, consisted of fifteen sail, seven of which only were laden, the rest were in ballast. We still entertain hopes that the Rochefort Squa. dron will be intercepted before their return to Port : Admiral DUCKWORTII, with six Soil of the Line and some Friates, has been dispatched in pursuit of them. TiH Cork Advertiser, of the 17th inst. Which - we received this morning, has•the following paragraphs: Ft;om some American Papers, which arrived in town yesterday, we lay the following Extraas be- fore our Readers : Noasom, Auo.
