qua ter.—BUON AP A RTE has made a strong fortified line to
the Bohemian frontier, beginning at Wittcnburgh, and,
pas-ing through Torgau and Dresden, now made very strong,
to Konigsteiu, and the intrenched -camp at Pirna—a fine
milit'ary line, no doubt, with a view to the opposing an army ,
advancing against him from 'the Silesian frontier, but of
comparativelylittle value supposing the Austria?' army and
the Cnowt; PRINCE to take him en rerers. Between this
line and the Silesian frontier his main army is stationed;
in Upper and Lower Lusatia, Iklowr IER wi.h 70,000 men
including a large force of cava!ry at Luckau; and NEV
with about the same numbers, at Bautzen. The Saxons are
at Goerlitz ; but we ate unacquainted with their force,
though we are perfectly sure of their utter indisposition to
his cause. On the Mein, though now perhaps nearer the.
Bavarian frontier, there is an army of reserve under AUGE•
REA tY; and there is an army of Bavarians about 23,000
sti ong near Munich. Such are the disposition of the enemy's
fot cc.

On the part of the Allies, we have already taken a
view of the CaowN PRICES force. The Russian army
passed the Silesian frontiers in great force immediately
after the Armistice was deno'jnced : the head-quarters
had been removed from Reithenbach to Prague, where
the three Allied Monarchs were when Syr, vEsrLa took
his departure. The amount of this Russian force has been
rated as high as '200,000. IVe .believe this is an exagge-
rated account ; but it certainly exceeds 100.000. The di-
rection this army has taken is understood to be, not to-
wards the front of BUONA PA RT position an the Elbe,
but into Bohemia to join the Austrian army, with the seem-
ing intention of removing the theatre of war (tom the Elbe
to the Bavarian frontier. And some private letters have been
received, which state, that a large part of the Austrian army,
.00,000 strong, has entered the Bavarian territories. The,
advantage of this, plan, supposing we are correct in our
statement, would be to release the whole of the North of
Germany, Prussia, and Silesia, from all apprehensions of at-
tack, to give them time to collect and organize fresh means
of resistance, and to furnish more men and supplies for the
armies contending in the South of Germany.
In Italy we have very imperfect information of what •is
passing. We know that BE AUH ARNOIS has been sent long
since to collect a farce upon the Adrge, and we suppose that
Austria has not beer less active in her preparations on that
side.

In a late account from Heligoland, which we have given,
there is a report that MURAT had declared in favour of the
Allies. It will be recollected, that some time ago there was
a rumour to the same effect, and the conditions he was said
to have proposed, were that the kingdom of Naples should
be guaranteed to him. On the other hand, his arrivkl in
Cermany, and even the different stages of his journey, have
been so minutely mentioned in the French papers, that the
report is not intitled to any credit.
The following is an extract of a letter:—
