" The undersigned Muli:ter of State and of the Calourt,
pith the deepest re` e', finds himself under the nezess.ty of
communicating to M Lafor,t, Envoy Extraordinary and !tie-
Ritter Ple-ipotentiary of flit M Cie:4y the Emperor of the

the eider which Hes Majesty. the Enn-rnr of all the
Rin.tas. trait:mined to him. in ciinequence of the re-
cent changes in Italy, and especial!), the union of the Ligurian
Republic with the French Empire, not to trotted ups& his
jouiney to France. His Majesty could not but heel the greatest
osi.icein in seeing thus confirmed the fears which, from the
moment the intelligence of that unexpected event transpired,
It was impose hle nut to etitertam, respecting the effect which
it might produce on the salutary negntiation which it was un.
der daliberatioe to open. The earliest desire which His Ma-
jesty It. a 4 Ay& cheriihed, and of which he has given repeated
proofs, for the restoration of peace, is the strni.g,..t 311tlfal:CC
of the ieatimeula of concern with which he is affected upon
this occasion.

FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAYERS.

TAMS, AL GUST 5 1 .
The fro:ltiers of the Empire seem to be menaced

by the tr,,vemrots of the Att,trian armies. T;:irty

thou. t Men are to mare!, from the camps of Bou-
logne to the Banks of the This intelligence

Inay siv•priie those who have even foreseen it•

In co, we might foresee that the envious hatre,l
of the British Cabinet, ani the fear with which the

genius of t:.e Emperor Napoleon fills it, would
induce Mr. Pitt to exhaust all the affarts of intrigue
and corruption, to divide the dangers that menaced
England, ar.l make the Continent shave them with

her; but we may veil be aston;shed, that Austria
should hav • so soon forutten thelesson of experience,
*Lid that sbe should still glre he: self up to those si-
nister councils which hare twice dragged her to the
brink of a bottomless abyss.
Vanquished for several years, she had received,

from the magnanimity of the conqueror, more al-

vantages than she would have d.ued to dem ind Atter
wiaortes ; and it is Against the her', who, respen-
ing courage ac 3 miiiortune, stopped in his triumphs,
and twice saved her by a generoos peace, that she
is going to rekindle, at the voice of a perfidious
ally, a war which, to her, will have neither legiti-
plate ohjeft nor known end.

But there is, in futurity, more than one battle of
Marengo, to France and Austria.

The Hungarians, the Germans, sill perhaps be
tired of shedding their blond to preserve to the
English the commvrci LI and naval despotism which
bas s often insultel the Auitrian Flag. Tar
French will never he tired I,f fig„heng for the Free-
dom of the Sea., from which it is sought to hanisll
them—f r the defence of their property, which it is
50u7,,5t to destroy—for the prosperity of tht.ir msnu-
fanures, which it is sought to stiff.—for the rnije,ty
and greatness of the Envire, which only wound the
pride of their enemies-..they will be f sisals' to the
temetnbrance of their past glory, and to the sen:i-
tnent of their present happiness.

In the stot m of the Revolution. when we were
without a leader, without laws, without union.
without Government, and without bread, we made
coalesced Europe respect the independence of our
territory. The Revolution is at an end, order is
restored, the State flourishing; be who restored
law., viaory, and honour, leads on our soldiers, and
presides over oar destinies. Half Europe is for us
—:he other will breathe wishes for our success,
even though it is fighting against us ; it is easy to
see on which side the danger will be.—(Balietro de

rEur pt..)
e are just informed, that QS nr 30,000 men of
the army of the coast are preparing to march for
the Rhine, to cover the frontiers, which seem to be

threatened by the movements of the Austrians. If
we but recolle& the very recent events of the last
war, and consider all the measures which have been
adopted to improve the interior of the pacified
ennotry, and all at the instigation of one will, equally
wise and vigorous, provident and allive, we may
say, without any premature boast, that the move-
ments of Austria are only threatening to Austria
herself. For if these menacing appearances are
to produce the eels that must probably arise
from them, if that gallant army so often roused and
so often repressed, and burning with impatience for
scion, pour down without meeting with any ob-
stacle, upon an enemy that provokes them, who

can doubt of the issue of such a struggle ? They will
feel themselves still animated by the hatred that
:nun fire them spins: England. who, they must
know. are the instigators of the war, and that it is
for England's sake alone, that the whole Continent
is to be put in a flame. Such an excess of blind
imprudence cannot well be conceived on the part of

those who are the sport of them, and who wsul !
expose themselves to become the viaims of their
own imprudence.
According to letters from the Hague, of the 2,1
inst. the Grand Pensionary, M. Schimmelpenninck
is returned to that city, to open the first extraordi-
nary Session of the Assembly of their High Mighti-
nesses, which is to take place to-morrow ; when he
will submit to them the result of his labours for the
detailed management of the plan of general taxation,
the outline of which was proposed to them the last
meeting.

Meantime, we have just learned, that the troops em-
barked on board the fleets of the Texel and of Hel-
voetsluys. have received ordas to disembark, and to
march with all speed to Mentz. The first division
is already landed, and it was to have reached Nime-
muen by the 7th. The second and third divisions ate
immediately to take the same road. It is added,
that a similar order has been issued at Boulogne for
disembarking tau troops from the Imperial flotilla.

The Swedish Minister at the Diet of Ratisbon
has confidently declared to the different Ministers,
that reports published in the Eligl.sh JiNornals, re-
speaing the sAle of Swedish Pomerania, are utterly
(levitate of foundation.

A Dec:ee was made by His Majesty, at the
Imperial Camp of Boulogne, on the 26th, concern-
ing the levy of the Cmscription for the year 14
Pursuant to this Decree, the 30,000 Conscripts for
the yeat 14, which, by virtue of the. lam of the
276 Nivose, year 13, are to be raised to complete
the army to its establishment, and the thirty thou-
sand destined to remain as a reserve, or to raise the
my to the WA(' establishment. arc to be put into
arrive service.

bite States of rlhenna are summoned to meet on
the 9th S. ptensber.

tot.:(.ocsr, AVG. 27.

His Imperial Majesty rer:e•ced yesterday the di-
vision of the army commanded by NlarLhal atvo.a.

DUST, AVG. es.

Some of the vessels belonging to the I:.,;lish
squadron cruising off our pert sometimes advance
into the Goulet, to observe the motions of our
troops. Yesterday, and the preceding day, ti.ey
had cause to repent of their temerity. The ad-
vanced forts of Bertlwatime and Herautrot, corn
minded by Generals Ang^reau and Sazzazin, pan-
ed upon eiem a shower of bombs and shells, many
of which fell aboard and damaged them. 'We arc
assured, that one of the shells from the new batte.y
at Ker.c.tet, burst on board the ve,sel of Admiral
Coi nwailis.

Yesterday, the liFbt squadron under the command
of Vi..e-Admiral yiillaumets, had an engagemt-nt
for an boar and a halt with ilia sh;ps in the van of
the English fleet, rif which Admiral Cornwallis s
ship was one.
The enemy was compelled to sheer off, and ap-
peared to have sustained considerable damage : the
Fordro4axt, Alerand,r, and Inipetwur, were the ves-
sels engaged, as well as the Pulverous and Volunteer
frigates.—(Courier tie Brett.)
VIIIIMNA, auGurr 12.

We learn, with the most livelpalatm, that Go-
vernment has given orders for marching a body of
about 15,000 snen through the Eh:Borate of Salz-
burg, to form a junetion with' the troops on the
Tyrol. This body is composed of the Reiser, Beau-
lieu, and Stetin regiments of infantry, and of many
squadrons of the 1 lussars of Blankensteitt. The
Archduke John, assisted by General Mack, is. ac-
cording to report, to command the army in the
Tyrol.

♦UGUST 17.

A great part of Switzerland seeks the protellion
of Austria: but the Deputies who had been sent
here for this purpose, have not yet received any
answer.

Both General Stratich and General Wcissenwoil
have been sent into Gallicia to guile the march of
the Russian troops.
It is notorious, that the French pretend M. M.
Proni and Castanet.), had no objett but literary cu-
riosity in their journey to Venice; and they have
-.tide reprisals upon Austrian travellers at Paris.
Bat the French Ambassador here has been told, that
such reprisals could not be allowed, unless they codild
cenvid Austrian subjeas of haying afted as spies,
since, in time of peace, it is not permitted to take
plans of fortifications, the depth of canals, and
things of that nature.

satzetmoo, •vo. 14.

Al}the regiments qnartered on the frontiers of
Turkey have received orders to hold themselves in
readiness to march, and all the accounts from the
frontiers announce the movements of the Austrians
toward; the Inn and the Tyrol; besides the twelve
thousand men which arrived at Brannan. a consi-
derable force'has proceeded towards Shardiag.

♦UG. 15.

A general uneasiness pervades the public mind
here, and never was disquietude founded upon jester
or more urgent grounds. The preparations and ar-
maments of Austria, at a time when all its neigh-
