?OREIGiV IYin'LLIG.E.NCE .LNU . • REMBERG, 7.—An officer, who is per fe&ly acquainted with the state of the French . Army, has given the following infOrmatiori respeiling it. Ist, General AUGEREAU has under his command scarcely from 12 to 13,000 men, With which he was ordered, 16, clays since, to mlrch to Franconia, to watch the, motions of the Prussian's. This division has not received any reinforcement . 5 . and the asser- : tion of one of the Public Journals, that the division of AUGEREAU had been reinforced to 60,060 men, is ridiculous. - • • All the reinforcements which march-from France go to Holland, to join the Army. of the North. -Be-; sides this, AuoEiEAu is neither loved or esteemed, by BONAPARTE. FOr these four years past, the Gallo-Batavian Army, in spite of the representation of General AUGEREAU, has consisted only of 12,000 men, and at that number it remains. 2d, General Nil, Who is . stationed in the Bouthein' Tyrol, has from about 14 to 1.5,000-men.' 3d, General BERNADOTTE has left;- about .10„000 men of his Division at Salzbourg, to preserve a' communication with Generals NEY and MAnmoNT.' The remainder of the Division of BERNADOTTE:, in- Icluding the - Corps of General BAR A GUAY itsxs, consists probably of from about 30 to 35,000 men. The Division of BERNADOTTE - is the' of the whole Army,' because the Bavarian' Troops are under his command, and they are con tinually receiving reinforcements. That part of his Division which-is stationed at Salzbourg consists en tirely of Bavarian Troops. 4th, The division of .General MABmoNT, which consisted of 18,000 men, has suffered .much. from desertions; and was besides vigorously engaged, at Ulm, where it lost 4000 men : it still consists of 14,000 wen. _ The remainder of the army consists of the divi- Mons of Marshals D4votrsT, LANNES, SOt LT , and MURAT, estimated at 60,000 men.

It does tot ,appear that General NEY is" doing any thing in the Southern Tyrol, nor is it known. whether he his ticeeeded in forming a Junction with 1114sUNA. It is also uncertain *tether the BaVarian Tioops left to karrison Salzburgh have any point of union with MASSENA. General IN,4.lA3torrr remains, like the other divisions of the Grand Army, each in its , ?ni non, in. Stiria, without doing any thing. It is Uncer• fain whether it will also join - MAssEttA.,:' On the - 27th of last month the whole of his division was assembled at Grati. • General DAVOUST occupies the Danube . from St: 4 3 01t0n to Presburgh. The divisions. of LANNES, SotTLT, and MURAT are in Moravia, where the two Russian ArmieS have united. Nothing had occurred iri )Moravia up to the 30th 'of bit. mouth, because ,the Army of NAPOLEON,: since. the union of the two ItUssian Armies, was not in a condition> to attempt any thing, and because the Negotiationsfor. Peace with HAUGWITZ had commenced. at - Vienna ! In Italy General Sr. CYR has formed -.a:junotion. with General MAssEtqA. The.former is posted be, 'tween Venice and Bassano.

Aid-de-Camp LE "BRUNE has had a long.conference with the Ele(Stor. It appears that he , brought the ofkial account of the battle, but. did not wish it should be made public until the Emperor had 'published it in the 'Vienna Gazette'. The Emperor does not like official itceounts to be published until he - has given orders to that effe6l. . , ~• The Empress JOSEPHINE remains to-day ,in her 6Partinents. She will not even go to the Theatre, although there is a grand .Opera hOnatir of her. It is said that her Najesty„has .made,. a vow never to appear in any public place on a,.

B.—Thus will the EIIIIIOTPT 'fat, EON again, a third tithe, give Peace, not to France iddne, but. to -the Continent,- and ; more varticularly. to the Austrian States: —)England, is at. length cow. tittered in her Allies. „ . How then isthis general' Peace to be - Obtained,' and rendered satisfactory to all Parties ? What remains but that England should. consent to :her share of sacrifices?—The Emperor has conquered Half of the Austrian Empire- - -m;i11 he surrender it vithbtt equivalents ?—Shall England,- Skulking behind her dirty Channel, encourage the Con tinent to War ? Shall she shed the blood, and, as far as in her lies, exhaust the ,treasury of -France, and suffer nothing. in return? The Emperor PoLEoN will not suffer this. Shall Austria alone be the sufferer ? The Emperor FAAlters will not suffer .this—England must give something to the common redemption. .„ Her Colonies will doubtless be accepted,at their full value in exchange for the conquered Pro vinces—England must purchase_ Peace as she has purchased War - . - •' • . --. It is reported, that while DUR . O.C. was on his fate mission to Berlin, the QUEEN of PRUSSIA had sent a superb service of china . as a prcsetit to the tinpress - JOSEPHINE, who ; in her Imperial condescension, was most graciously pleased to accept it and in return bad a diamond of great value presented to her Ma jesty of Pivossin., inclosed in a box, on the coVer of which was sketched,. by way of ornament, - a little landscape or draWing of. that part of the German Empire, the acquisition of Which," it was supposed, would be agreeable to Prussia. This devise might per haps be intended to point out the, advantages of neutrality. • The charming Comedy of As You Like It was admirably represented last night at Covent Garden Theatre. KEMBLE'S Jaques is a masterly assumption of the amiable and philosophic misanthrope ; with oc casional touches of chaste, yet effective CHARLES KEMBLE'S Orlando also deserves a very commendatory report.,--Miss SMITH'S liodalind is more easy and play ful than it at first appeared ; and FiwcErr's Machsicine is one fit' his best per formances. - ' . 3 . 7 . 11,1" . i .

"During the . nine"succeeding , Years, the French Revolution never ceased to threaten an interruption of the general tranquillity, •and to excite the attention of every Country - c .: -Trusting .'in the fidelity-of the: S Wed ish ;Nation, and favoured : by . its distance s from. France,- we witnessed, without alarm, the Anions, •zeal of the fiialrOxiS; and their t3;ratitiy over a divided State, persuading, :Our , rlVes, that the experience 'Of 'these great , produced : by • dissention• and oligarehy, „might at length be the means of restoring order, and an equitable , government, for the security Or the . French people, and other' 'States. . This pleasing hope was not fulfilled : the . Gdvernment *as indeed frequently changed ; but the • fundamentSl principles; so 'dangerous to, all Europe; still' remained unaltered. They Were 'not only retained under the Consular, GOVernMent, but • in propoftion as power came into. the hands-of the First Consul, his ideas of law and . justice were di minished : every thing was. now sacrificed to that ambition which . usurped: an authority. over the rights of nations and . treaties, and even Over that respe3 which gall Governments wish to preserve for themselves'. The blood of one of the worthy de scendants of the ancient and honourable family of France Was not. long since shed by the hand of vio- Tence. This shocking circumstance was- not only a specithen of the ideas which the French Govern ment entertained of law and equity, butalsO a .. ,most disgusting piCture of the .system it had adopted ; • ,and, in every .respeta, affording a signal warning to all dovernments.. While this encroachment furnished the great States ;with such a view as enabled them to draw the -..most genuine conclu ,sions respe6ting the irresistible potter of France, .the smaller StateS were converted into provinces, . by violence or intrigue ; and the danger appeared not less general, than overwhelming, as it seemed that security against these menaces vas no longer tobe found: in,,any- distance „from- the scenes of .• . The most justifiable claims, made by us upon the French Government, were fruitless, in obtain ing indemnities for the demands made by several of our subjeEts, respeAing unlawful captures, arbi trary freightage, and an- illegal- embargo—as the lawless proceedings of the French , Goyernment were carried to such a- pitch,, _as to lay the Swedish commerce under 'considerable ernbarrastnent in the French ports, during the space of nine- months. Stich proceedings, could. of ly:increase the apprehen sions entertained of this dangerous conduct; and ex cite, as it dotibtless has in every ,loyal Swede, a wish for the organization of an adequate counterpoise against a Power which had so rashly committed itself in lts.endeavours to obtain a §uperiority, and availed itself of every unjust means to, obtain the end pro tosed • But as no State was powerful enough to escape the effe&s of these praaices, we hoped, that the general experience of these outrages would finally unite, and concur in . their- efforts to remove this common nuisance, and effeaually to resist that ',Power, the object of which was, by degrees, to subjugate all others. ". This period has at- length arrived, and the greatest Powers in Europe have _taken the field, to support their own dignity and independence. We have United ourselves with them in every worthy .and friendly conneetion, and, for the purpose of sharing in all undertakings, have drawn closer'the ties o?aniity; and we hope, with the assistance of Providence, to contribute to the restoration of the general tranquillity. With this view, we hay now passed over, with.a part, of our Army, to P-omerania, there to unite our power with the Russian forces ; mad, further, to as with .energy in - such a manner as circumstances may require.
