WARSAW, AUG. t.79,—Un the 25-th inst..peveral
French couriers arrived tire, Marsoal DAvocirr has
received' orders to breakup with his (lit 10011
ately-trom the Duchy Or Silesia. Ever since yesier-
day chit French troops have been marching througli
this place. , The Berhii poit• road ihrougn Blonie is
covered, with troops, field equipages, aid artillery ;
tudiiy horses have been put ill requisition beloilgicz
to our citizens tor dideretti transport.. the puke of
AUERSTADT, and the General or division MORAND,
will soon follow the stoups and the held equipages
are quite ready.

Hor, AUG. es.—On the t 6th ins. intelligence
arrivrd from the King of Saxony's Commandant at
Plauen, that tue 2d division or the second corps was
on its way Inther,,and would shortly arrive. The
Quarter-Master actuaily arrived on the evening of
the 23d. Two regiments o, toot, viz. the 20th and

27th, whit were for the most rill quartered here,
marched in the night between t..e 23i and 24th inst.
taking the road to Heinosnrecht,. Cuanback, and
Bamberg; they were todowed by the 50th and 59th
infantry, that were conveyed to Bamberg in waggons.
On the 26th, in.the morning, passed through here,
and remained in the night at the village behind Hut.
On the 27th, a battery of artillery arrived, and
immediately atter the sih and 15th regiments of
Hussars, and the 6th of Chasseurs. Both these re-
Orients, and three other regiments of Hussars, only
refreshed themselves in. the town. Nine Officers of
the NatiOnal Guards, and 60 privates, escorted the
waggons as far as Helmsbrecht, by which great da-
mage was prevented, as the peasants wished to take
the harvest that was cut down! on their waggons to

give it as !odder to their horses. The artillery, and
three regiments, took the road through Munetinerg,
Gefers, Hemel), and B.areuth, to Bainberg. To-
morrow, the 29th Aogo4t, quarters are ordered for

4000 'nen, mostly cavalry, who are also to p to
Bamberg, via Helmsbrecht.
HEIDELBERG, Auo. 29.—0 n the 3 tst, several

thon,and French troops, now on their, march through
Franconia, will arrive here. They are partly trans-
ported on waggons, for which ovary thing is in rea-.
dint.ss. The Fiend) , corps that at rived yesterday
amounted to about 4000 men under General Bois-
soN ; they march to Weenheitu on foot, from
thence prob.bly to Mentz. This day more French
troops are expected; 300 wagons and 4000 hotses
are proviued for thein.—(dltoitu Mercury.)
SEPT. l.—Yesterday about 3400 French troops
passed ttitoup here in t o clk isions, and continued
to-day their march to Mentz.—(Correspondent.)
BAMBEI4O, SEPT. L.—The Ist, 21, 4th, 146,4
Mil, reg'intlitS of French dragoons, ar-
rived in wit' .enviro..s., besides several batteries of ar-
tiliery ; they are !pattered here anti in the/neigh-
bourhood.

BANKS OFTHE ELBE, SEPT.9.—The Prince of Pohte
Corvo continues to keep his Head-quarters at Ham-
burO, and the troops appear to return thiti:er Irons
Holstein, Rendsbuith, and Altona. The unfor-
tunate officers and soldiers of the army of the Duke
of Romana, that could not embark with that gallant
officer, continue to be transported in small de:ch-
ments as prisoners of war, under Dutch escorts, to
Magdeburgh, whence they are to be transported to
Spandau; most of them preserve the most heroic
fortitude, but some of them are a prey to melancho-
ly, mixed with indignation and despair at their cruel
treatment. At this time, when the French
not allow truth tp have anyaccess to the places which
they oppress under the specious pretence of being
trotedtirs and friends, we should.be cautious of cre-
diting arty rumours among the public. The Prince
of Poste Corvo has ordered Don ROMANELLA, Spa-
nish Consul- in Lower Saxony, to be guarded by
Gens d'at tries in his house, for having been overheard
to tell a friend, that he believed the French had been
beaten in Spain. By all accounts the Russian fleet
from Croustade is at sea.

FROM THE MAINE, SEPT. I.—The French troops
are repairing the works of Neisse, and putting that
place into a very good state of defence; artillery and
ammunition are transported thi►her. They also talk
of pitching a French camp in the neighbourhood.
The fortresses of Glatz, Silberbcrg, and Cassel, con-
tinue to be occupied by Prussian troops, who keep
up.the best understanding with the French troops in
the neighbourhood. The Presburgh Gazette says,
that travellers trot» Russia report, that the. Russian
troops ate much in &notion, to form pleasure camps.

HANcIVEK,I. SEPT. learn,, that all the
French artillery here, and in the country, has orders
to hold itself in readiness to march. Two hundred
more dragoon hot ,Ls are ordered.--Ibid.

BEAUMONT Is arrived here. Besides some small de-

tacit men th of troops, yesterday about 3 0r.4000 French
infautry.arrived lie're on their march to Silesia.
DRESDEN, Avo. 30.—At eleven o'clock yesterday
about 7000 of our troops marched into the each!)
pitched for them between Pirna and this city ; its
right wing leans on the village of Spornitz, the left

otT that ofMuchlen ; 'the direction of this camp runs
on a parallel with the high road of Pirna and the Elbe,
the latter forms the rear. In the front of the latter,
and on the mountain of Kosuing, there is also en-
camped a detached corps, with its front turned to Bo-
hemia. The.-outposts go on the- left tialik' to the
distance of one league from. Pima. The field-posts
and videites Were every where in good order. On
both wings the cavalry is cantoned. The King is
to set out for Warsaw between the sth and 12th inst.
In the course of this week Marshal NEY'S corps
passed through these environs; and that of Marshal
MORTIaR is expeCted to follow ---(Correspondent.)

CuPENHAGEN, SEPT. 3.—A considerable fleet.,
supposed to be that of Russia, is said to haVe been
seeti off Bonihblm. The French General Far morr,
was at Elsineur on the 31st ult. and irisp,etted the
fortifications at Cronenburgh. Our gaming •is reco-
vered of the fall'he had, and will in a few days be
able to set out on his intended journey to the southeru
part of Zealand.—(Keue Zeitung.) •
ELSINEUR, SHPT. 2.—We have intelligence here,
that, on the 26th ult. another British fleet of between
60 and 70 ships, convoy,ed.by several men of warp
paved the Great Belt. People here ask with astonish-
ment, to. what ports in the Baltic are ihe Engiish
carrying on so brisk a trade,? This seems to be an
insoluble riddle. A flag of truce arrived limn
Helsingborg the day before yesterday, by which let-
ters were .received, containing a refusal for those
Danish masters of vessels and merchLts, who in-
tended to have gone through Sweden to England to
their' ships that had been detained, but afterwards
released.--(Correspondent.)

French troops, who wei4 Equartered last night in
our City and its environsAUe`m arQhed this morn-
ing by different roads to Mentz.

This day arrived a corps of 17,570 men; and 4350
horses. These regimenti have partly passed through
this City, and some reniain here. The General of

Division MAnciimsiii, Who has the command in the

absence of MarshalSTA, is now here.

Private advices ftkallTris state, that all the Eng-
lish residetits there; by a Special mandate of the
Government, have received orders to quit the city
•in twenty-four hoUrs.
The news received from Spain is said to be of the
most sinister kind : all the French troops in the
North of Germany are to break up, and are'proba-
bly now on their march to that kingdoM. The
contingents of the Rhenish Confederation are to
follow them as a reserve. In order to keep AUstria

The intention of :Buol,rAfi Xiti'o to undertake a
journey is mentioned in•tli'Pziti Pi'ipers, but the
olajoa of if, and the 'place to wtit li he is going, are
kept secret. It is, however; iti 'some measure ex-
plained by-the intelligence, that on the 7th a strong
detachment of the Imperial Life Guards set, off for
Strasburgh. A great number of carriages were
pressed for their .core expeditious conveyance. The
depaiture of
,these Guards has hitherto invariably,
been the precursor of that of BUOZVAP,ARTE himself
Are we then to conclude that a War with Austria
has been determined upon ? Much of late has apr•
peared in the Foreign Papers to discountenance this
idea, although it was evident, from the Paris Jour-
nals which we lately noticed, that BOONAPARTE. en-
tertained a strong suspicion of Austria.. Still, how-
ever, it appeared to be his intention to temporise, and
bend his whole force against Spain; and an article in
the tlatoburgh Paper, which appeared to be of French,
di&ation, stating, that Austria had, published a satis-
faetory 4fflaration with
.respea _to her arming, -
coupled with a change in. the. Austrian Ministry,'
seemed to indicate that the policy of the Austrian.
Court had undergone home
.alttration, which was
reor.a fayotirable to grauce. The journey however
of BooNAPARTE to Strasburgh, can scarcely be ac-.
counted for in any other way than by supposing that
he has resolved upon: ininiediate hostilities with.
Austria, unless,we.. can suppose that he goes solely .
with the intention of meeting the EMPEROR of
Rosso, with whom, jt is stated, he is to have an
interview at Weimar. The Foreign. Papers are
crowded with details of tbl march of French troops
from. different points in Germany and the Prussian
territories, who, from their route towards, the Rhine,
might be supposed to be'ciestined- for Spain. It is,
however, impossible to say that great part of them
have not been put in march. for the purpcse of
bearing down with greater facility upon Austria.-
A considerable body of troops which had reached
the thine were suddenly ordered to halt; the reason
for this .is stated to be 'that a sufficient supply of,
provisions had not been prepared. for them; but this _
seerry rather improbable.

remarkauie also, that notwithstanding the
.-neots of 11,e Pi ench Governant, of

its iaention tt? send 200,000 men into Spain, nc.

thin is said about 'tie a6lual march of troops into
that country. We find in an article from Bayonne,
in the -Paris Papers, a distinct adinission thh the
French arrny.had retired behind the Ebro, as it is
stated that they occupied strong positions on the

line of that river, and were throwing up tetes-du-
pont to proted all the passages of any consequence.
This article, coupled with the other intelligence
which we have just noticed, almost leads to a
conjecture that he is about to. maintain a defensive
War in Spain, whilst he leads the gpeater part of
his force against Austria. We are told, it is true,
that General LASS is to have the chief conimancl
in Spain, and that another General (St. CYR) is go-
ing there ; but. not a word about troops. We have
neither time nor room for further comment, but
must for the present leaVe the views and objects of
BUOgAPARTE' certainly involved in considerable mys-
tery; but We are afraid directed hostilely against Au-
stria. A very shOrt period will most probably unra-
vel the perplexity.

Thee Moniteur, with its usual regard for truth, has
again charged the Marquis Da ROMANA with trea-
chery, and, in a pretended Letter from Hamburgh,
has stated, that 4000 of the Spanish Troops, long
since completely rescued from French fraternity,
were blocked up in Langeland, and that the 'rest had;
been disarmed and sent to France.

The Gottenburgh Mails bring a variety of a'd_
counts respeCting the progress of the .v,ar in Fin_
land, and also official Letters from Sir SAMUEL Hoops
and other documents respecting the late gallant ac-
tion in the Baltic, which will be found in our sub-
seq.uent columns.

A report Was circulated in some of the Papers of

Our troops in Portugal, although expoSed to great
privations, were, on the date of the last accounts,
particularly healthy. The troops which joined Sir
A. WELt..EsLiY on the 21st, and who matched 18
miles to the battle,. were allowed to take with them
' only one shitteach ; to the 3d September their bag-
gage had not joined them, and they then continued
exposed to ,the weather, without tents or covering
of any kind.
Gen. DUPONT, in consequence of some irritating
