PARIS, OCT. 8.
Most of the English pe'• -errs at V e dim have been
brought away from that -e, some to Valenciennes,
and others to Vaudreuil, in ...r Department da l'Eure,
five leagues from I .ouviers.
Upwards of 1000 men are employed night and
day in erthing additional wotks round Kehl. for
which purpose a number of new houses must be
pulled down. One-half of the place is already eva-
cuated, and a number of people are thereby reduced
to poverty and distress, being without houses or
sustenance. As the razing of the houses did not
proceed quick enough, it was resolved to burn them
down ; but this was postponed one day, :tad, in
that short space, every possible assistance has been
given to the inhabitants by the neighbours. The
Emperor has pro nised the sufferers 75,000 florins.
Low, OCT. 4.
The Court of Denmark has transmitted a Decla-
ration to several other Courts, relative to the sys-
tem of neutrality it intends to embrace, which will
be of the so itlest kind, without vitcring into any
eice engagement.
TRANICToRT, OCT. 5.
The passage of the French from the Left to the
Rtght Bank of the Rhine, has nate ceased at all
points, and it seems as if all the troops destined to
open the campaign stele now on German ground.
It appears flu titer, that the troops, which have gone
over at Manheim and Strasburgh, are marching tip
the Neckar, and will probably farm a junftion with
the armies under Bernadotte and Nlarmont. These
armies are marching to the western parts of Suabia;
so that the French army will torn a semi-circle,
stretching from the Upper Palatinate to the western
side of Suabia, and from thence through Southern
Suabia, down the Neckar to the frontiers of Switzer-
land, in a diretion parallel with the Rhine.
C-incerning the Russian army, we have now been
informed, that 56,000 Russians, under the command
of General Ktnusow, passed through Lemberg, be-
tween the 30th of August and the 7th of September.
The Generals Prince Pancration, Von Essen, 'Von
Rasscn, Von Schepelow, and Dekow, are serving un-
der General Kutusow.
The throe first columns carried ninety-two pieces
of cannon with them, and the two following had also
a goad deal of heavy artillery. These troops observe
the strielest discipline wherever they go.
We are informed that the French Minister, M.
Becher, has delivered a Note to the Diet, in which
the motives are stated, according to which the French
Emperor has resolved to govern his present conduct.
It acmes with a declaration, that the Emperor Na-
poleon has determined to defend himself against any
unjust attack, and to insure the independence of
Germany ; that he does not intend to retain any of
those countries which may fall into his hands by the
chance of war ; and that he will guarantee to every
Prince the inviolability of his rights and possessions;
meanwhile, he will not lay down his arms till he
shall have restored the Decree of the Empire, and
the House of Austria can no longer violate the rights
of Germany.
At the same time that this Note was delivered,
an historical relation appeared at Wurtzburgh, con-
cerning the conduit of the EleCtor Bavaro-Palatine,
relative to the mission of Prince Schwartzenberg to
Munich ; the frustrated negotiation between him
and the Eleitor ; the departure of the Court to
Franconia ; the entry of the Austrians into Bavaria;
the negotiations at Wurtzburgh ; and the demand
of the Austrians that the Bavarian troops should be
dismissed ; which relation closes with the following
sentence:—" This relation enables every body to
judge of the conduCt of Austria towards Bavaria,
and to pronounce that nothing was left for the
EleCtor of Bavaria to do, for his security against
demands so disgraceful to his army and nation, than
to throw himself under the proteftion of the French
Emperor. Confidence in God, in a magnanimous
ally, in a brave army, and a faithful nation, raises
courage in a just cause. May Heaven bless the Ba-
varian arms !"

The following Address has been communicated
to •;e 13 tearian troops by the French Emperor, in
acnrrnl rams :
