PAats, Aram B:—Since the intelligence arrived
by the Telegraph, that their Majesties arrived at
Strasburgh on the 15th, at five in the morning, no
other accounts have been received ,from Girmany
than the following :

The ArchdukeCl-lA:ll.as has established his staff
and head-quarters at Lititz, and commands in chief
the artily which is ordered to attack Bavaria. The
letter which the Prince has sent to the General
commanding the French army in Bavaria is to the
following purport

" According to a declaration of his Alljesfy A)ie Emperor
of Austria to the Emperor Napoleon, I hereby' notify to the
General in Chief of tl►e French Army, that 1 have received
orders to advance with the troops under my command, and
t 6 treat as enemies all who shall make opposition.
" CHARLES, General.
" From my Head-quarters, 'April 4,449."

The Court of Bavaria is preparing to leave Munich
for Augsburgh ; the King has given. the command
of the former place toGenera! VON Au, and that of
the latter to Genetil VON RONNE.

The French General at Artillery, LA MAR swim,
is Commandant of the town and citadel of Wurtz-
burgh, which is placed in a state at defence, and
well provisioned. The military road from ltadstadt,
by Pforzheim, Wachingen Cannseadt, and Cuppin-
gen, to Ulm, is as it were .covered with troops on
their march to Bavaria. A part of the Imperial
Guard arrived atStrasburgh on the 12th, arta is pro-
ce eding on its march into Germany.
FRANKFORT, APRIL 14.—Ttte Bavarian troops
are distributed iu three divisions, each of twelve
thousan4 men ; the first of which is commanded by
the Hereditary Prince, and the others by the Ge-;
nerals Baron Minna and RAGDOVICH,. A part of
the state-archives anti other, valuables have been 're-
moved from Munich to Linclau.

On the 7th inst. the.dhision,of General DUPAS,
which was assembled in Hanover, consisting- of
7eoo men, with, Woo horses, received orders to
break up, and immediately marched off, taking the
road to Cassel, so that there are no longer any French.
troops in that district.
PARIS, APRIL 16.r...ACCOrding to accounts from
Frankfort, hostilities.have begot►, and.the Archduke
•CHARLits has the chief command of the Army of Bo-
hemia and Upper Austria.
Other 4ccounts, however; say', that the Prince will-
command no particular army, but dired the motions
of the whole. Austrian force, which, hoe ever, con-
sidering the great extent of territory which it occu-
pies, is trot very probable.
The Archduke Jour; has ..the command of the
troops in. Carinthia and Carniola. '
The Prince of Neufchatel (BeaTmen) left Salz-
burgh on the 12th with the Intendant-General And
their train. They are gone to Ulna. and thence to
to Munich,where we are assured the Emperor is every
moment expected,
The Prince of Neufchatel; before his departure
from Strasburg!), received an express, _with intelli-
gence that the Austrians had been repulsed; it is
added that 'he itumediately transmitted this infor-
mation to Paris•hy, the telegraph. , is at least pro-
bable that hostilities have commenced.

According to the last accounts from Germany, no
action has yet' taken place in Germany. The Aus-
trian army appears, atter passing the Inn, to have
direated its march 'to Munich, by the way of Wat-
serhurgand Lam:limit, which it has entered.—(Royal
Amsterdam Courant, April 22.)

PARIS, APRIL 15.—The Senate was yesterday
