expected at Munich on the 24th, and at Sturgard, in a
few days after, on Lis return to Paris. On hi, pas-

It has been stated for some time. that Bo
'meditated some mark of hit regard fur these two
Princes ; but we did not think that the business was
ia so great forwardness. The binentiaries of the two
new kingdoms are already traced, and nothing will
re:naintn be done on the arrival of the Kiag-maker
at Munich and Si ergard, but the pomp and pagean-
try of the coronation. The kingdom of Bavaria will
embrace the present possessions of tneEletlne, and be
further extended to the non's-west,by the annexation

Counts Fugger, and other small States on the south
of the Danube, and the Principality of Aichstadt,

berg, together with Lindau, on the Lake of
Constance. It is also supposed that it will
comprise the north of the Tyrol ; but this

lac point has not been finally settled.—Augs-
burg and Ak.listadt were taken pos•cssion
by the Bavariin troops, on the Ytcof Decere.er ;

of subordination to the Emperor of Gas a am v, were
abolishe I at Munich. and the Bavarian arms sub-
4tituted in their place. The new kingdom of Suabia
is also fully developed in the German papers ; and
the arrangements were nearly complete, as the co-
ronatian was to take place on the 6th instant at Stut-
g ird. The present Electorate at ‘Virternherg will
be extended for that purpose upon every side,
incleding the Imperial post: of the Prince of rove
and ['AXIS, the city cd Ulm, which is to be ceded
by Bavaria, &c. At Stutgard, as at Mu-
nich, the Imperial armc had been taken down,
and the arms of the new independent kingdom of
