" VIENNA, MARCH IS.

" A few drys since, four courieis rarnved iu the
course of the same day. ' One of them was from St.
Petersburg'', who received from onr Empetor a
present of two hundred ducats, for the agreeable
news of which he was the bearer; another was
from Pam. The latter was an officer; he would
not deliver his dispatches bat into the Empe-
ror's own hands. The dispatches were addressed
Is the head of the War department. 'Ole
Emperor sent them to the Archduke Clisrles.—
The Archduke, on reading them, ordered them
to be sealed up again in the preseilue of the
courier, to whom lie delivered them back with
these words—' Such absurdities require no an-
swer. Carry back thin packet isi hint from whom
yon received it. If you are Ihuud half all hour
litnee within the limits of V ienue, you shall be ar-
rested, and eiiiidoeted to time frontiers.' Phe pub-
lic in general approve of this set of tirenuess and
resolution Oa the part of the Archduke.

fresh rumours of peace are in eirculahun.

lit this time of day, preveist Austria from unsheath-

Nothing conlil furnish a more convincing proof
of the spirit of in fat iiation that has tas,en poiswasmis
of the Court a Vieima. Buil the studied etforvi she
wakes l s give a false directiois to the public opinion.
Agreeable advice., it is mid, Save been received at
Vanilla from Russia. lisidriees have been received
from Russia. they most be amblers of the march of
Russian troops, and declarations of the d issatisfae-
felt by Ritmo* in consequence of the spirit of
insanity and folly which actuates the Austnan Mo-
. nareliy. No letter whatever has been sent front
Paris, either to the Emperor. or the Head of the
War INpariment.
The armaments of Austria eviace her hostile dis-
positions, and the triumph of the English faction
•but they excite a smile of pity, aiitl deceive no one.
• It is easier for Austria to perish, than the kill-Arlon)
of Westphalia. As to the Brisgaw, Modena, and
Masse di Carrara, Austria takes one exteisive
prospect. Why does she tot speak of Lorraine,
Alsace, Venice, Belgium, Timcany, the Tyrolese ?
SI!Iy dotards, w ith what chimeras lire you mu tr•wil !
At the long run, how redly will you find yourselves
out iu 'our reckohing !
The Prince of Schwarzeneberg said. that all the
French troops were is Spain. and that the moment
was faronnible.• owe will be the sa•re in
Austria this year as it was in 1605 an.: all the for-
•flose .After Nnell miylirty tign;gt•ratifili of her

Winn of having been in favour of war. and the
Impel, of compiest, and the false notions with which
the minds Ma srerierous people may have been pen-
sioned, will become a subject of ridnrulr. The Con-
federation is loom immoveable than the triple crown
of the House of Lorraine. - Asia the prioung of the
libels of Spain, those are weapons of a very frail and
ridiculous description.
The Quern of Prussia. as well as the king. de-
plores the folly of Austria. advises her to listen to
the dictates of pradewee, and predicts. with all
Enrope, the catastrophe which woold result from
the rupture of the Treaty of Freeburg.

The Elector of flow, after the irrevocAlc loss
*of Inn States, not in blind as to dispos,en, him-
toff of his treasure, of which let would nut lie able

The postscript of this letter is particularly 'laugh-
able, and ptorea thr deplorable ante into which
the Austrian Ntonareity has litlkn. "The Empe-
ror Nuirileon taunt indeed be a dealer in magir, if
he cam, at thin time of day, prevent Austria from
nissiseittliing the sword." Silly wretch !—yes ! he

GERMAN PAPERS.

RANKS Or THE RUM, APRIL IS.
On the 15th lust. the eresseh Minister at limns
burgh received several codkriers, with Estill'cues,
cony:pug the iutelligeuce `that Austria had de-
clared war against France mid her Allies ; it is now
suet, that Cenend ilellegurde had entered Fran-
conia, mid that An,trein corps have occupied all
Barruth and Bamberg. The latter place, it is re-
ported, fell alter an action, io wench the French arc
said to have been defeated. From anather quarter
we leariethat the Austriaus have peered the Inn, awl
entered Bavaria. The French out-posts retired
oil their approach. The Archduke's address
to the army, which may be considered as a ma-
wrests) or declaration of war, lies been received
here ; but its circulation is prevented by the vigi-
lance of the French authorities and their spies.
Every care is taken by these Arguses to curb the
liberty of the press, to suppress every thing unfu-
vourable to France or her allies, so that accounts

tiAlfeirel ut I"Misua had declared to the latter
court, that the bevel or Alexander is IV tartan vir
his allies the French, has been inserted by come
mend of the French authorities. The truth of it
1s therefore smestiourd by inauy, particularly as the
Archduke t:isurles in his proclamation rays., that
Austria writ he awiistecl by Is powerful allied army.
He surely nrstlwr means Turkey slur England.
Four English frigates have appeared oil the

War may now be considered as decided on.—
Bavaria nod the Tyrol seem to be the places ut

Some public papers state, that the 'Limier' Mi-
nister', Count Ituuranzow, immediately on his ar-
rival on the 3d, Isting waited upon by the most
eminent Alerchaut• nt St. Petersburgh, partly to
cinigratialate him on his arrival, and partly to know
what was to be expected next summer, in regard
to commerce, gave. diem ur general the moat con.
