THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

accounts acknowledge that the Austrian preparations far
the continuance of the war are ext.:tingly formida-
ble. 150,000 Hungarians are organized and equip-
ped. The same activity and vigour prevail in erm-
ing the population of Bohemia avnl Moravia. Their
army, after the battle of Wagraie, was by no means
inconsiderable. It was still able to present a menacing
front to the enemy ; though the corps, under the Arch.-
dukes JOHN and .Igenteaso, had not joined the Main
army. • If hostilities • recommence, the Austrians can act
undivided'and concentrated. The enemy, on the contrary,
have the Tyrol to observe; to repress insurrection in every
part of Germany; to keep a watchful eye at the red-coals
to Waicheren, and reinforce their army in Spain. If Prus-
sia and Russia awake from their apathy ;—but oh ! that
ifi !—it confounds a number of speculations.
' We have received, in like manner, some MUniteurs to
the sth, and Dutch Papers to the Bth. Their contents are
unusually reserved and uninteresting. The only article re-
lative to the negociatiou at Altenburg is contained.
in the Royal Amsterdam Gazette of the 7th in-
stant. It tias, that the conferences are. continued with-
out interruption ; but adds, that all the reports in &cilia•
tion, relative to the terms of peace, are most certainly with-
out foundation." BvoNara RT E, in the mean time, does not
appear. semis.: during the interval of negotiation. That
extraordinary man, whilst he directs front Schoenbrunn
the operations of hisarmies on the Tagus and the Scheldt,
and notes and strove, the slightest mistakes committed by
his Generals, at the distance of near a thousand miles,
appears to bellying, without interruption, from Schoen-
brunn to Presburg,- back again to Vienna, and without
:reining to devote. a single instaut to-repose, hurries with
the same rapidity. to Bruno. in Moravia. The intelligence
from that city of the 19th ult. represents him as reviewing
the third army, (the word corps is now too insignificnut
for .the divisions of his mighty force). Upon seeing him
direct, with a steady and unerring hand, .a vigorous mind,
end rapid eye, -the concerns of an immense Continent.,.iM
the combined character of soldier, statesman, and Kiwi.,
watch over the the minutest wheels, regulate the slightest
movements, overlook the. whole machine,• and afterwards
hear of his restless activity, his:reviews and. his journeys.—:.
We feel a sensation- of .admiration, similar to that which
AeesiLays expressed on beholding . the. Theban Gene-
heral, EPAMINONDASi pass with his army aloog the
