BADEN AND BAVARIA.

EXTRACT FROM ♦ FRITATR LETTER. DATED
•ii.LA-LMAFELLR. OCTOBER 12, ISIS.

The days for the grand reviews of the Army of
Occupation are not yet fixed, but that they will
take place before the 20th instant is still generally
believed by the best-informed people. It is now
said that all the troops will be collected into one
place, and reviewed together. The Allied Sove-
reigns will attend, accompanied by most of the
persons in their suites now at Aix-la-Chnpelle.—
One ressoh why the time is not yet fixed may be
the late indisposition of the Emperor Alexander;
and another, more probable still, the delay that
must occur in determining on the arrabgemeats for
the surrender of the fortresses, and the routes by
which the different contingents are to retire !wine.
The Emperor is now quite recovered from his ill-
ness, and yesterday attended divine service in his
chapel. His disorder. arising, it is supposed, from
drinking the waters of this place, yielded to simple
remedies, his mode of life being such as seldom
to require remedies of any kind. Ills intention of
visiting his sister at Spa is again resumed, and he
will probably go thither to.dsy or to.morvow. He
has been riding about this morning for his recrea-
tion. lie will therefore he able to proceed to the
grand review, as soon as the preparatory arrange-
ments are concluded. A. connected with the eva-
cannot' of France and the retiring of the troops, 1
may take the opportunity of contradicting a re-
port copied into a journal of this place, from
another German journal. The article its ques-
tion you may probably already have received ;
mid it is important, from tit% circumstanee that
it must have been permitted to appear with the
authority of the censorship. It is dated Upper
Rhine, Sept. Q 6, and is as follows :—" The read of
the Baden °nicer*, subaltern', and soldiers, ou fur.
lough. to their standards, is an important and 'bilk-
iny, piece of intelligence. All the regiments have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness to
march at the first notice. The Lstidwehr are like-
wise to be called out. and by the Ist pf October
30,000 Baden troops will be tinier arms. The im-
mediate motive of this measure is not certainly
known : according to reports, the movements of the
Bavarian troops are the cense. We ate assured that
a consideralt:e corps of Barariaus will be collected
in Virurzburg ; and the Baden Governintist has
relllloll to suspect that they contemplate the nil.
litany occupatilti of the Palatinate of the Rhine.
Strong garrisons will therefore be placed in this lait
.province, particularly at Matilteim, Heidelberg, &c.
and considerable cantonments established on the
frontiers, to prevent any Military occupati,m of the
country, at least till the decision of the Powers is
known. A stronger hope limn ever is entertained
at Curlsruhe (the capital of Batten), that the Comte
of St. Petersburgli and Berlin will exert their inter-

feriae' are Ammar of Ilacle.ir."—". in altis way air ex-

there p an fiundstion whatever fur the 'tumour of
the speculation. Russia certainly feels it • coniii4er-
able hardship to send he troops home at this season
of the year, when' 'addition to the moil iticonveiti..
nicest:fa long sli4 painfil march, they may have to
encounter the inclemeticies of the weathei, while Lbi
other contingents of the Anny of Gecupation May
reach their own territory; in it short time. Import-
ant, however, as this pcint is to the comfort and
health or the tiorips, it is not for a moment to be put
is eomparisose with the ineouSenienees that nstiltt re.
suit-from those • misconstructinon and •jesioisien
which the stationing of a. bpdy of Russian troops
in the heart of Europe might becasion. Russia,
we are therefore sasured, has resolved 'to submit to
the nectinly of sending her troops home at once t
they will must of them probably winter in Poland.
It is obvious that no advantage could be gained
from a temporary stay of so small a portion of there
in Baden, as is here contemplated ; while the
whole would, besides excitius e!arm and distrust
in Europe, put the coomiy of the Elector to its.
' coavenikuce, and site Russian treasury to additional
extreme. The other implied object of assisting
Baden spinet the invasion from Bavaria.. is
perfectly out of the question. The resistance
of • small state like Baden to that of Bavaria
would be equally absurd and unavailing, • tinlets
it was aided by the justice of its cause, and support-
ed by the alliance of the authors of the hue arrange-
enent,tif Europe. The former has only 758 square
leagues of territory, with a poptilatrou of little
more titan 1,000,000, an army of 10.000, and a re-
venue of about 500,000/. sterling; whereas its com-
paratively powerful opponent is posseseed of e square
surface or territory, amounting to upwards of 1,000
square leagues, a population of 3,600,000, an army
of between 50,000 and 60,000 men, and a revenue
of nearly 4,000,000/. sterling. But any thing like sit
actual contest, in the present state of things, cannot
fur a moment be contemplated. The first cannon
fired in Europe, in opposition to the arrangements
of the Congress of Vienne 9r Paris, would blow
away the seal of all their acts; Tod the Allied
Powers have shewn too moth unaminity of princi-
ples • and views in their present negotiations, to
allow the slightest suspicion that their orrangemeitts
for a general and permaneut peace can be broken
through, by what, in comparison of the late strug-
gle out of which they have come, might, in the
words of- Mr. Hume, be c.111:(1 is war "
tweeu the kites and the crows." As. how-
ever. the differences between these two German
States excite at present a good deal of attention,
and will most probably call for the interference
of Congress, it May not be uninterrating to allude
in a fete Words to their origin, and Otis save your
readers, who take an interest in such question., the
trouble of reading the frothy baok of NI. Mignon,
whiCh has been translated into German. and read
here with avidity. In 1813, when the King of
Bavaria joined the alliance against that Power
which conferred upon him the regal title', and en-
larged his territory to enable hint to support it with
dignity, it :ias stipulated in the Treaty of Hied,
concluded between Austria and Bavaria, that if he
should he required to make some cessions to secure
the independence of Germany, or, in other words, to
round the military frontier of Austria, lie should
receive complete indemnity, calculated on geogra-
phical, statistical, and financial ptuportions to the
ceded provinces ; which indemnity would meet the
convenience of Bavaria, by forming with her retained
processions an entire and unbroken territory: The
military frontier of Austria required the cession from
Bavaria of the Immerge!, of the Hanaruckviertel,
of the Voralberg, of the Tyrol, and a part of the
principality of Salzburg, and a Treaty atiptil sting
for these cessions was signed at Patio ou the 3d of
June, 1814. The mute Treaty determined the
compensations to be given to Bavaria; and in virtue
of its stipulations, Austria had takes, possession of
the Voralberg and Tyrol. and Bavaria of the pi in-
cipalities of Wurzburg and Aschafferiliorg, before
the meeting of the Congress of Vienna. Difficul-
ties were enconistered its the execution of the other
arrangement, of this Treaty's and to remove them,
another was concluded on the llth of April, 1815,
by which Bavaria was to receive in exchauge for her
cessions to Austria, different portions of territory
belonging to Wirtemberg, Electoral Hesse. Hesse.
Demisted, and Baden; the two latter to be to-
steinnified by compensations on the left book of the
Rhine. This Treaty excited great ,alarm among
the States whose possessions it would affect, and
accordingly was modified on the *id of the cane
month; still .eta' g; however, among its arrange-
meats, that. certain portions of the territory of Ba-
den should be forthwith ceded, and that, 1111 l re-
over. Bavaria should have the reversion of the Pa-
latinate of the Rhine, in the event of khedirect liue
of the reiguilia Candy becoming exii::ct.
Treaty, though it received theastient of Russia, Great
Britain,. and Prussia. was not executed, and the
stele of things between Dimino and Austria re-
mained as before. On the 3d of November, 1815,
• new Treaty was signed at Penis, which affeeted,
like that of April.' 1815. the Unhurt Duchy of
Baden. giilnt; to Bavaria some portion of its terri-
tory, and thereversion of the Palatinate. This act
did not cud these negotiations ; for nu the 14th of
April, 1816, a They was finally concluded at
Munich, to which Austria and Ilavalia were the
only contracting parties, disposing of portions of
the territory of Madre. and the reversion to one of
its finest provinces. This lust treaty is staid to con-
tain seven secret articles, bowie to tile Power so
much involved in all these negotiations about
