The F.leEtoeal Courts of Wirtemberg and Baden
have repli-d to the French propositions, th it, from
their geographical position, and the superiority of
dr Belligerent Powers, they were unable to prevent
dos much of their troops through their territories;
busk drat they wet e resolved to maintain the striCtest
Smitrality, and that this course would be the most
favourable to the interest of the Emperor Napoleon.

Rhine, through Bavaria and Swabia. They have

The Arch-Chancellor has delared that the city
of Ratisbon, AS the seat of the Diet, is neutral;
and has forbidden the Commandant to suffer any
troops to pass through, on any pretext whatever.
STIASISURGII, SIFT. 16.
The greatest bristle prevails here, in consequence
of the arrival of so many troops in the city, and its
vicinity. Tile prices of many necessaries have al-
ready risen. At the beginning of next month, the
campaign will be opened on our part, upon a grand
pl tn. General Desolles is appointed Chief of the
General Staff of the Grand Army, and Prince
Murat will command under the Emperor. It is
thnugitt that Kehl and Cassel, on the right bank of
the Rhine, will •non be taken possession of.

The report that the F.mperor will reside for some
time in this city, and thence shred the military ope-
rations, as well as the negociations that may take
place. oh:ains credit. Op re Ceniquo is said to
hove received orders to repair to Strasburgh, and a
similar command is expeaed by the %kali-, Fransais.
The new Theatre preparing in the former church of
E:. Stephen, will soon be completed.
According to the latest accoents, the arrival of
the Emperor, at Strasborgh, will take place be-
tween the 271 of September, and the 21 of Oaober.
The slumber of troops passing through Nancy,
onJ .he adjacent country, to the Rhine, in diferent
divisions. amounts to 7%090 men.

The Athtr;a4 Army, accordi;:g to the public
Z. i is in hiin condition. The system of sinarh-

6cation, hithato confined only to the exercise and
equipment, will now be extended to other military
..hjeAs. The many foreign articles directed against
the Austrian Government, have hitherto been an-
swered only by a dignified silence. Some GeTTII4I;
Prints, which, on account of the admission of arti-
cles of this nature, had been pr-ihibitei in the Aus•
trian provinces, have eren, by the express command
of the Government, been again pet mitted. It i•
ibserved, that a sense of national honour, and mr.
tional strength, has evidently been loosed by the
spirit and toile of those articles, among all ranks of
;he Austrian nativn.

On the 6th, when the Ails: ri:in troops had crnised
the Inn, an Austrian Statt-otiv.er appeared before
the gates of Passau, and demanded to speak with an
officer of the gArri son. The GovJrnor-General,
Nlontigny, sent a Major, to whom he declared, that
the Emperor was on good terms with the Eleaor of
Bavaria; and. though he had direled his troops to
cross the Inn, he would still respell the civil and
military authorities of the Ele&or.
Switzerland has now resolved, in case the Empe-
ror of Austria will accede to their neutrality, to
maintain the same with 40,000 men ; but, in the
contrary case, to join France.

STUTGARD, SLPT. 13.

Our Gazette contains the following : " It is not
without astonishment, that we observe in the Foreign
Papers, an atticle, dated Sturgard, 31st of August,
relative to a Note delivered by the French Ambas-
sador, M. Didelot, to the Eleflor. We are author-
ised to contradia this intelligence, as destitute of
truth."

strr. 15.

A Declaration has been published here, to the fol-
lowing effed Government is informed, that, for
days, many disagreeable reports have been circula-
ted, in order to produce alarm and anxiety of every
kind. Of this class is one respelling the intended de-
parture of His EleCtoral Highness. This report is
most unfounded, false and untrue, as His Elettoral
Highness has no intention of quitting his dominions,
in any case whatever ; and he expeds from the me-
rited confidence of his subjeds, that they will assure
themselves, as on the part of His Eleiftoral High-
ness, that such measures shall be adopted, as will
render all alarm and solicitude unnecessary."
IfIISOURG (IN rise 1itS0111), SEPT. IG.
On the 7th inst. the Austrians mooed the Inn to
Burghausen. One column took the route to Muhl.
dorf, and proceeded to Landthut, which place it
entered on the 10th. No further accounts have been
received of its progress ; but, it is conjeftured, that it
will advance, or has already advanced, to Ingold-
stadt, for the purpose of securing Donauert from
thence, and taking a positifin from there. Another
column proceeded by Warserburg. towards Munich,
with the intention, as it is believed, of taking the
pasts of Laudslserg and Fribourg to the Lech, a po-
sition which was occupied by the Austrians in the
late war. This army, denominated, until its entry
into Bavaria, " The Army of the Camp-of Wels,"
and which appears now to have the name of " The
Army of the Rhine," is to be commanded by the
Archduke Ferdinand, having under Lim Quarter-
Master-General Mayer ; but no other Commander
in Chief has, at present, the diredion of it, and
each column performs its movements pursuant to
particular instructions. Another corps of the army,
about '20,000 strong, forming a part of the Army
of the Tyrol, is at Bregantz, under the command
of General Hauffenberg, with Generals Rohan
and D'Aspremont under him. This body, hitherto
stationary, has lately made a movement ; two thou-
sand of the advanced guard have marched into Ra-
vensburg, in Swabia; other corps are following
them, and take the route to Ulm, with the apparent
intention of taking a position there. This army
had, without doubt, another objed ; namely, to cut
off the retreat, and make prisoners of, a Bavarian
brigade, consisting of 6,322 men, assembled at Ulm,
under the command of General Wrade ; but the
Austrians have missed their aim ; and Gen. Wrade,
by falling back on Franconia, has succeeded in
forming a jundion with the other Bavarian troops
that are already colleded there, or on their march
thither, and which will form then an army of be-
tween thirty and thirty-two thousand men.
The Austrians make very considerable requisi-

Lions of core and forage, for which they pay, partly
in specie, and partly in Bank of England notes;
they treat the divrils through which they pass, or
which they occupy, with some respell ; but they
are not, on that account, less detested, particularly
by the Bavarians. Besides the remembrance of
their past conduct, and the apprehension of the in-

juries they may still commit, it appears that the pro-
positim made by the Prince of Schwarumberg, to
the Eleaor of Bavaria, to unite with Austria, by
incorporating in its armies all the Bavarian corps,
has particularly offended the inhabitants, and dis-

gusted the soldiery. The Aunt ians already suffer
greatly by desertion. After the first surprise, ci•
cited by such sudden inavetnents, no other senti-
ment lost that of indignation has been felt. We are

indebted for peace to France ; she was solely owl-
pied in the war which England made upon her;
~ve believed ourselves secure, for a lotig period, from
the calamities which menace us ; the Emperor of
France will distinguish between Germany and its
Head; he will respell men whose sentiments were
s•holly peaceable, who have so often experienced
its generosity, and who can never regard him as an
•iiemy, who has ever been the protesctor of the poli-
:ical state of Germany. Into what a strange situa-
:ion has Austria, in her thoughtlessness of heart,
plunged herself ? She has constrained all the Princes,
her allies, all the Germans, even her subjeas, to
form no wish that is not unfavourable to her.—

TRANKTOZT, serT.2l.

' Whi'ar letters from Strashurgh announce the
speedy arrival of the army marching thither from
the coast of Boulogne, there is also erpelted at
Mentz, and its environs, the arrival of the army
from the Tete'. General Marmontel, who has the
command is chief of the latter, has preceded it to
Meart, where he arrived on the 17th. Mean while,
the greater part of the troops composing the French
Army in Hanover, headed by General Bernadotte,
shape their way through the liessian territories to-
wards the Rhine, having already reached the neigh-
bourhood of Gieffen. On the other hand, the Au-
strians are advancing into Suahia, and preparing to
take possession of Ulm, evacuated by the Bavarian
troops.
The present critical posture of affairs, has given
rise to a resolution on the part of the Court of
Carlsrube, to the following effeet, viz.`" That all
French Emigrants are to withdraw from all the
Eledoral dominions, within the space of three days,
dating from the publication of this resolution."—
Those who can allege any particular circumstances

in alleviation of their case. may be allowel a longer
period; which, however, is not to exceed eight
days. This resolution is to be strialy and rigidly
carried into execution.
LOWER RHINE, SZPT. 21.

Hitherto we have received no confirmation of the
Austrians having entered Ulm, or being on their
march for that city. Meanwhile, all Germany is at
a most important crisis, as well from the uaexpetled

occupation of Bavaria by the Austrians, as from a
demand made to the different Princes of the Em-
pire, in the name of the Emperor of Russia, by
a Russian Chdrge de Apiret, na ned Bieler, echo
has set out from Ratisbon, and :ray all over
Germany, from one Court to another, w:‘, -1,- fol-
lowing Note :

" M His Majesty the Etn;.eror of Russia wishes to know
the sentiments each of the t;erman Princes, in the present
circumstances, he requires by these presents, what part your
Ili:lines, intend, to take, in the event of a war between France
and the Emperor of Austria? If au decisive arnwer•be retuned
ti this inquiry, Their Imperial Majesties will consider it as if
your Highness had taken the part rat the French, and will treat
your country accordingly, &c."
It is not known whether this Note has also been
sent to the Court of Berlin, but to Bavaria and

Hesse-C.ts,el, they say it has been : it' so, the an-
swers do not seem to have been satisfa6tory t 9 the
Courts of Vienna and St. Petersbergh, since it is
asserted, that the troops of Bavaria, Hesse-Cassel,
and Hesse-Darmstadt, will assemble on the Prus-

sian territory, where they will form an army of
80,000 men. They will come to a decision of what

side they will take, as soon as the Court of Berlin
shall make known its determination.

MUNICH, str P. I.

Yesterday evening a battalion of Rime, and a
battalion of Manfredine, entered this city. This
morning the regiment of Meerveldt Uhlans, Klenau

took the road towards Friedberg by Augsburg.

RANKSOF TUC INN, SIMT. It.

The first column of Russians which will join the
Austrian Army in Germany, consists of 40,000 in-
fantry, three regiments of dragoons, three of bus-
cars, and three at Cossacs. This column will arrive
on the inn on the 4th of OCtober. The German
Army of Reserve consists, in the whole, of 18 Aus-
trian regiments of cavalry, each regiment of infantry
has a filth battalion of reserve, which is to follow
in case necessity should require; and a sixth, C Jll-
- entirely of new-raised recruits.

OR the 22d of this month, a convoy of thirteen
ships sailed from this place, under French colours;
for Corsica, escorted by a pink, carrying twelve
large metal guns. On the way, this flotilla was at.:
tacked, off Cape St. Andrea, ten Italian miles from
the Tani, by three English brigs. The Captain of
the pink gave the signal for those to save themselves
who could. It is, however, certain, that four large
vessels were taken. The fate of the remainder a:
still uncertain; but, it is hoped, that they have
reached Corsica. AU these vessels were laden with
goods from the Fair of Beaucaire, in the South of
France. The cargo of one of the captured ship;
alone, is valued at 9.40,000 livres ( I O,Oc•Ol. sterling).

The Emperor Napoleon has ordered the Land:mt.

FROM Tel *ATAV!AN STATE GAZETTE, SEPT. 22.
We are informed, that, immediately after the
departure of the French and Batavian Army of In-
vasion, the most eflicacious measures were taken to
make the English repent any fresh attempt they
may make against this republic, if they should
have forgotten the unlucky termination of their ex-
pedition in 1799. The principal points of our Re-
public, against which any attempt of that kind
might be direQed, are put in a sufficient state of
defence, whilst the necessary re:nforcements of
French troops will arrive in our Republic in a few
days, if it should be required. Preparations are
likewise making to take every requisite step for the
security of Amsterdam ; not from any apprehen-
sion that any thing will be attempted by the enemy
against that city, but to give a clear moot to the
inhabitants of this commercial city, so important to
Holland, and to all Europe, of the unlimited car': of
the Governmeat, for all that can set sr • not only
for their vcurity, but also for their perfea ease b
front without and within.

BERLIN, SEPT. 21.

lie d,y before yesterday a great Council of
State WAS held at the Palace, at which were present
His Serene Highness the Duke of Brunmick,
hield-
Marshal Mollendorf, the Ministers Schulenburg.
Hardenburg, and Haugwitz, Lieutenant-General
Ruchel, and Major-General Hnckritz.

Since this Council, every thing seems to announce
great events ; the whole army is put on the war
footing, and all the garrison of Berlin is to be ready
to march in five days. A great quantity of artillery
has already been sent to Magdeburg and Graudenz.
AU the officers and soldiers, out on furlough, are
ordered to join their regiments as soon as possible.
The King has lately received a letter from the
Emperor of Russia, written with His Imperial -

jesty's own hand.
The General in Chief, Count Buxhoefden, is ex-
petted here from St. Petersburgh ; it is said, that his
mission is of the greatest importance.
WT. 22.
To-day the Cabinet Minister, Count Haugwi.:
set out on his journey for Vienna.
Su extraordinary an ailivity has not been observed
in our Cabinet for many years, as prevails at the
present moment. Conferences are held alm^"t
dai:y, either with His Majcsty, or with the Minister,
Hardenberg. Numerous couriers arrive and Os
part ; and we are in expeelation of great and it
t
portant results.

WEIMAR, SEPt. 27.
The whole Prussian army is placed on the war
thoting, as it is determined to maintain a neu-
trality in the strictest manner, and to suffer no pa.-
sages of troops. Every hope, however, is enter-
tained, that the neutrality will not he disturbed.

LEIPZIG, SIFT. 22.

It is understood that the Emperor of Russia will
have an interview with the King of Prussia, at Bri-
sac, in Lithuania, at wh'ch the Emperor of Ger-
many will likewise, probably, be pre.ent. Nothing
is, however, as yet known with certainty on tl:is
