(WALL, JUNx 19.
The conquest of Hanover appears to' have been
more speedy than was expeCted, even by the French,
as the'army of reserve, which was to have been as-
sembled in Overysel, and is now countermanded,
was solely intended to support the French army
which :idled against Hanover, should it be necessary.
The army or reserve which was to have been as-
senOed near Bonn and Cologn, is likewise counter-
manded.

the following is an extras :
In the position in which France is at present,

In the sitting of the Legislative Body, of this
day, a message was read from Government, an-
nouncing that this Republic "as obliged, as an aPy
of France, to take a part in the war which has
broken out. That no resource is left us but to place
our confidence in the Divine Proteetion, and the
justice of our cause, and to employ all our means for
the defence of our country ; that the Government
has received a . formal assurance from the French
Governmert, that it has taken up arms fur our de-
fence as well as for its own. That in. compliance
with-the desire of the Chief Consul, it has placed
the Batavian army under the charge of the }react!
Commandant.; and in the last place, that it de-
pends on the prompt co-operation of the Legislative
Body to carry on the war with all possible vigour.
This message was referred to a commission, who
will give in a report upon. it.
[We subjoin the principal articles brought its by

obtained front the Hanoverians twelve wooden pon-

made the most diligent enquiry for her ; but this
