THE NATIONAL REGISTFIL

The fatal effects of the Arntistice of 'balm arc becoming
ltoo apparent: Prohurg, the capital of proud Hungary, is
-itsurrendered to the enemy. It is runroured, and not with-
*gout probability, that peace is aireddy signed between Franc(
land Austria.

It is distressing- to humanity to witness the unhappy fate
.ef the Tyrolese, This brave and loyal people made a stre-
nuous effort in favour of its ancient sovereigns. In their
consternation, at the evacuation of their country by the
Austrian troops, in compliance with the armistice, the)
threw themselves 'on the clemency of the Conqueror; who,
we fear will prove, as usual, vindictive and unrelenting.
A considerable degree of scepticism pervaded the public
duriug the week, concerning the two last French
Bulletins. oi May they not turn out to be a fabrication,
in order to delay our Expedition, until more force can be
ti nustered in Brabant ?" People encouraged one another
las these doubts, which it now appears had no other faun
th lion, titan the natural unwillingness to believe surpri-
sid and disastrous intelligence. Something like reasoning
attempted in this.way. The French and German Pa-
pers , it was said, contained no official articles, in confirm-
atioi i of the Bulletins. On enquiry, we fiiid the defi-
rims 'y is only in the selection of foreign articles, by our
"daily prints. A vessel from the Ems reports that in the
North of Germany too, the 11:!:SVS of the armistice is
credits -; so is, in the same neighhourhood, the death of
chill I But it semi now to be placid beyond all .dopbt
whatei er, and even the terms upon which peace between
Austria and France is concluded arc given. We are told

" Tht Bavarian territories to Vienna on the East, and, fol-
lowing a :;ile along the frontiers of Hungary, to the Drao, to have
ascendetii to the source of that river.—A line is then described to
sinsprucl: and Bregentz, and this new accession of territory is
given to Bavaria. _All the territory to the South of the Drau,
includiug part of earirrh.ia, Caruiola, Istria, Trieste, and
Fiume, is added to the h i ogdcnt of Italy.—'l he Tyrol is ceded
fiby Bavaria to France.—Wirternherg and Baden are to get some
accession of territory in Franconia.—Bohemia and Moravia are
Ito be retained by the }louse of Austria, as well as Hungary.—
Russia is to obtain an increase of territory in Austrian Poland.-
4.axony is also to have an increase."
If these be correct, Austria is annihilated, and the Em-
peror holds his crown as the me:e vassal of BUONAPARTE).
and even upon these terms he cannot hold it long.
We cannot Conjecture where a sufficient force cin
mustered to save the fleet in the Scheid. In Holland there
is little more than the corps which retook Stralsund from
: and even part of that was Danish, The Dates
must tremble foe their own coasts, and cannot be supposed
very forwaro. to succour their allies. The KING 3 of Wia-
ilMaitiEßG and BA‘itt RIA have occupation enough in quiet-
ing their own revolt ed subjects. We hear of no detach.

French towi.s are wil'hout garrisons, except the depots,
where there are many conscripts and but few veterans;
