DUTCH PAPERS.

. pArlic;, OCT. 2.o.—The Moniteurs contain some: .
articles extracted from the Engt.sh Newspapers from
the od the 7th inst. one of which is as follows:
• Whatever may be the resolt.of the negociationsiit
seems certain that French means to retain Vienna,
because a line of telegraphs has been formed which
extends from that capital to the Rhine. Itapnears that
Napoleon has been seriously indisposed itj the pK3Ce
of Schoenbrunn, and that a Courier has been sent
to Paris with orders for the first Physician of the.
Court to repair immediately to Schonbrunn." The
Moniteur makes the following observations on that
passage :
" The Emperor has not been ill nay, he has not
experienced the slightest indisposition : the first Phy-
sician, M. Coanitant, it is true, proceeded to Schoen-
brunn, but the Emperor did not stand in need of his
professional attendance., Some symptoms of the flux
:haying shewn themselves .among the troops, it was
deemed necessary to have the advice of that expe-
rienc'ed Physician on. those symptoms ; but they for-
tunately soon disappeared. While the above false
report of the Emperor's illness was circulated, he
was, travelling at the rate of fifty leagues a day.--
(Rotterdam Courant, Oa. 31 .)
On the 15th inst. the following notice was posted
in ,Vienna, according to a communication received
by the Regency of Lower Austria, from the Imperial
French Governor of Vienna :—" The fortifica.tionE4
of the city of Vienna are to be blewn, up, in the
course of this day. The fortifications alluded to in that
notice were the out-works erected before the
Burg-Hurt her, and Schol ten gates. We learn from
Vienna that the power of the gunpoWder employed
on that occasion was so nicely calculated, that it
merely caused the fortifications to tumble down,
without blowing them up. The shock produced by
the explosion was therefore but littte felt in that citr.,
." In consequence of the conclusion of peace be-
tween Austria and France, the French troops havo
already evacuated Moravia, and the Austrians hay.,
're-occupied the different places, where they were.
reteived by the inhabitants with marks of the moat
enthusiastic joy.—.(belt Courant of Nov. 2.)

A foreign Gentleman, who has spent the last.
two years in France and Spain, during which he,
had access to the best sources of information, has fa
voured us with some particulars relating to the state
of public ppiniork in these countries: In the higher
classes of Frenchmen, with whom he chiefly asso-
ciated, he discovered the ambitious proje6ts of 800-

He has never been very desirt,us of establishing
himself on the throne of Spain. 1-1,- was aware that

without wading through rivers of blood. This Gen.,

agbjugating Spain, but the latter was deaf to his en.
Area.ties.
ie At Paris, it was generally understood that FEB'

Imperial Treasury for the provision assigned than,
