Consequ;ntly, no establishment of this kind can at
ford more security, more numerous motives for

publ;c confidence.

Unklotibtedly, Gentlemen, we met to endea-
vour to resume our payments in specie, and to exet,

every effort to attain that. object, But ion

wiie admit, this this desire ought t be susordin.vc

to the wisdom of a foresight. more necessary than
ever ; and that, in consequence of the machination.
of mistrust, it is prudent to wait till the reserved
fund is provided with such an abundance, as to pre-
vent the credit of the Rank from being again corn-
promised
by immoderate demands. The most im-
portant duty of the Governors, at the present mo-
-171,::1', is, not to lose sight of the daily necessities of
with regard to specie, nor the inconveniences
losepara'ale from a too great scarcity of the circu-
lating medium It therefore behoves them to em-
ploy the utmost circumspenion in their future mea-
sures. Their eagerness, landahle,without doubt,
ought no: to exodse this great city to a want which
might occasion the heaviest calamities.
" It is necessary for the Bank, the common centre
of operations, to consider what would be the results
to itself of a great c mmotion. This consideration
has made still more •;) trent the necessity of con-
tinuing the disttibu:iou of aids: it has neglected
notluing to attain the object it was its duty to keep
in view, under such circumstances. It has provided
for the most urgent wants, and has employed every
means to restore the abundance of specie. It has
been inspired with new hopes of the arrival of the
piastres, the delay of which has ,contributed to its
emharrassrnent ; but what will prove still more effi•
cacious, are the wise and vigorous measures taken by
His Majesty the Emperor and King, to render
France triumphant over her enemies. Yes, Gentle-
meo, the success of his AIMS wit li.pose every mind
to confidence, which a glorious peace will cotfieli-
date. The specie concealed, or hoarded up, will
again return into general circulation. This crisis
will only serve to convince the incredulous, that,
with ils system and its capital, the Bank can never
exicrience any but temporary embarrassments."

?AZ'S. OCT. 22.

The ter., 7,ropit has annouucLN.l this day the grand
ev.rtt, winch the last Eult.tit . of the Grand Army

led u, is Ares 17.0.
The Auvrian Army which had bean hemmed in
on every side, has been totally defeated. The gar-
rison of Ulm has capitulated ; 40,000 men have laid
clown their arms, and been made prisoners of war.
Some corps that had fled towards the 1 yrol, were vi-
gorously pursued.
The consequences of such a vianry are incalcula-
ble; all the panes of the Tyrol being in our pos•
session, the army of the Archduke Charles is placed
between the Grand Army and the army of General
Massena. The routes to Vienna are open, and the
Russian columns, whiLh will certainly not alone op-
pose themselves to the v.flitrious French army, have
no other course to follow, but to return as they came.
The history of Europe, for the lust three centuries,
pretamts not any event to be compared with this, nr
which could have such consequences.— ( Gaxate Jr

11 Feaue.)
A report was circulated at all the places of public
amusement this evening, that a Telegraphic Dis-
patch had arrived to Government, at half past three,
announcing the taking of Ulm, and that a battle had
been fought and won, and 30,000 men either kill_),
wounded, or made prisoners.--(Pubtoste.)
S.ime letters, which are not official, confirm the
account of the capture of Ulm; they state, that some
of the Austrian troops have gained the left Bank of
the Danube. It is probable that the delay of cou-
riers from the Imperial head-quarters, ought to be
attributed to their march.—(Moai:eau.)
The following manuscript bulletin was circulated
r Strusburgh on the tr:th inst.
.• Me army of Marshal B •rnaieue Is at Munich. The Om-
:
t'ossi of the Russians is cot off.
" Snits tivrnerrl Austrians are hemmed in, and have no
locale.% of retreat."
_ _

Desertion prevails in.tha Austrian army. since oar's
has opened Coe campaign by continued successes.
Not a day panes that sow: of Mack's cavaliers Jo
not come to our advanced posts with arms and bag-
gage. So that the manafaduren of saddles at
Strashurgh and Meta have received orders to send
by post carriage%, all the bridles and saddles that
they have to dispose of, for the purpose of mounting
French hussars and dragoons on Austrian horses.
Letters from Coke announce an important success
obtained by the army in Italy. The Austrians were
snacked at litoveredo, and driven flora their posi-
tions. Marshal Massesa had marched a part of his
army into the Italian Tyrol.—(Crete alt Frames.)
Several letters from Switeetland (says an ankle
from Strasbuigh of the I 3'i) announce that Mar.
algal blassetta has passed the Atl;ge, and taken all

'i __.

the positions of the Austrians, from which they re-
tired with the utmost precipitation ; that a Fretich
corps, which had pa-sed along the Lake of Garda.
has taken by ass tult the entrenched camp of the
Awtrians at lim•eredn, and made a great number
of prisoners.—(l'ublicanc.)

FRANICFORT, OCT, 16.

It is General Kienmayer that commands the corps
of Austrians separat,d from the principal, which
still occupies a part of Bavaria. This General has
received a ioinforcemenr of 5 or Sma men from the
Tyrol, which had been intended for Saabitt, hut
which could not accomplish that destination. lie
also expeas some battalirms of troops from the fron-
tiers, which are said to be advancing from the Lin,
towards which Gen. Kienmayer himself is desirous
to fall back. Gen. Bernadotte proceeds in pursuit
of him with the greatest celerity. Atter having en-
tered Munich, this General, reinforced by the Bava-
rian troops and the corps of Marshal D.oroust, con-
tinued his march towards the Inn, along the Barre,
by Craunau. He will arrive on the banks of this
river before the Russian army can reach it, in spite
of all the efforts that have been made to accelerate
their march.

It is asserted positively, that the principal corps
commanded by Marshal SJUIt has advanced against
Lgiatkirch and Zeyl. By this movement, the Mar-
shal turns the entrenchments at Memmingen, which
the Austrians will not be axle to defenl longer. The
main body of the Frtnch army is advancing upon
the Iller. Gen. Mack, reinforced by tise corps of
the army under Generals Jalachich and Alain., per_
ceiving himself cut off on all sides, will take the
desperate resolution of not d..iclining a battle, which,
at all events, it is not in his power to avoid. Ile
ha. occupied anew the whole line of the 11lei, at the
same time colleting his principal force at the silc
of Ulm.

They write from Inspruck, 0610ber 6, that Ilk
Royal Highness the Archduke John has returned
thither. The Generals Zagh and Hiller have visited
very lately the chain of mountains al mg the Lake
of Gravo. At that period no hostilities had taken
place in Italy ; but every thing announced, that this
calm could not be of long contineassce.
It is stated, that the Eleflor of Bavaria means to
proceed direaly to Munich, and thence to the Head-
quarters of His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon.
The Eleaor of Hesse puts twelve battalions of in-
fantry, and sA squadrons of cavalry on the war
footing.
The head of the Bridge of Cassel, opposite May.
ence, will ba completed in a fortnight.

OCT. 19.

Letters from Augsburgh, of the 14th of Onotier,
announce an approaching grand battle between the
Nr.nch Wind Austrian armies; respating which,
bowevet, no accounts have yet been received.

STUTG•IIIO. OCT. 13.

The most afflicting accounts have reached the
Coert of Vienna from Gallicia. The passak,e of
the liossians had produced a general famine there
Afresh ; their excesses have excited considerable
c1,,:-.ontent amongst the inhabitants. The dearness
of proviNions was excessive.—(Gan.tte de France.)

OCIOBLVI 15.

It is said, that the greatest discontent prevails in
Hungary, in consequence of the war, which is ge-
nerally attributed to the intrigues of a certain fa lion,
at the head of which are the Prince and Count Col-
loredo, the Ex• Minister Thugut, and others.

STR ASIII/V.H, OCT. 17.

It is said that the Eleelor of Baden has commu-
nicated to tier Majesty the F.mpress, that the city
of Ulm was occupied by the French army.
It appears certain, that the Austrian army has
had its retreat by the Tyrol cut off, and that it has
been excluded from all the military positions, in
which it might prevent its destrudinn and prolong
the war. It is through Franconia that it endeavours
to escape the viaorious army that is pursuing it.
General Mack has, probably, hitherto escaped
the fate of Maas, only by placing himself in the
singular and desperate situation which, in the last
campaign of Italy, succeeded so badly with Gene-
rals Wurmser and Alvinzi.

We learn, through &eters channels, but not by
Jima accounts from the Imperial head-quarters,
that the French hive entered Ulm, have carried all
the positions of the Austrians, and made the gar-
rison prisoners.

Some Ausuian light tr.),ps have been seen in

Franconia.

OCT. lA.

We have been expelling direa accounts from
head-quarters these three clAys. The confidence
and admiration, excited by the developement of the
vast plan of the campaign, conceived by the genius
of the Emperor, the wishes which follow the Mo-
narch every where. the first successes oht.ined by
the daring rapidity of his march, at the head of the
Grand Army. and the immense results connefied
with unforeseen war. all inspire the most lively in-
tere.t, and give birth to an universal impatience.
Private letters from A ugsburgh state, that theFrcnch

Are masters of Ulm &a the numerous garrisnr
that defended it, are prisoners upon parole ; an •
that another division of the army has carried stem
mingen. It is probable that these important ac-
counts will soon be confirmed.

ANOTHER LETTLI, SAME DATE.

There is as yet no direa intelligence from th,
head-quarters; but all the letters from the right
hank of the !thine, agree in saying, that the French
army has taken possrs.ion of Ulm. *I his news has
reached us from so many quarters, and from such
different authorities, that we cannot entertain any
doubt of its accuracy. We are informed, that the
Emperor has written to tier Islajesty the Empress,
that she may be perfealy composed ; that his posi-
tion was far more advantageous than that at Ma•
rengo ; and that the campaign would be short and
brilliant.

TURIN, OCT. 14.

Many corps have already arrived. General Mennti
is preparing to set nut for Alexandria, in order to
superintend the formation of this camp, of which he

OTPIOII, OCT. 2.

The following passage is in a note respeCting the
junaion of Genoa with France.fpublished by order
of His Highness, with some letters from the F.m-
perm- on the subjeCt of his progrers in Germany.—
" The &trains Consultam for uniting Genoa with
France, was to have been presented to the Senate on
the sth. Genoa forms a part of the French Empire
for ever. AU the forces of the Coalition will be
dissipated, and the Emperor of Austria will pay
dear for the gu!cl which he has received from Eng-
land."

COPENVIAGEN, OCT. 9.

SIR LIN, OCT. PI

A French Courier from Strasburgh, and another
from Wurtzburgh, arrived yesterday at the French
Ambassador's, who is said not to have had any con-
ference with Baron Hardenberg for several days
past. General Duroc also received a Courier yes-
terday from the Head-quarters of the French Em-
peror. It is thought that the General will soon
leave us.
