‘.l VIENNA, Fen. 15, 1809.—Sixty thousand from-
tier troops have received orders to repair tovvarda the
interior of Austria.:. A considerable army, above all,
Well furnished with cavalry, is already in Bohemia,
on .account of the increase of the French force in
the territory. of Bayreuth. Fifty thousand :men are
assembled near Vienna, in order, according to the
pressure of circumstances, to repair to ithe interior,
to Upper, Austria, or Salzburgh. The garrison et.
Vienna has'not yet received orders to put itself in
motion. As soon as it marches out, the militia are
:to do theirservice, and occupy the barracks. • '
" Though there were already a number of troops,
on the other hide of the. Ens, yet a tew more regi-,
ments have been sent. -Transport poutotts hare ai
ready been brought hither. , •
" The army is furnished with every thingo
cept that hitherto no surgeons have been appointed.
" At Constantinople an occurrence has taken
plice, which may throw some light upon the situ's-
tion of Austria.. The Austrian Internuncio, Baron
Von Stunner, Wad, on occasion of the marriage of
one of, his kinsmene given a. dinner, and invited to
if the Secrensry of the English Lega:ion• The
French Charge d'Affaires, M. Latour Mauburg,
who was also invited, wrote to
M. Von Stunner
that be could mot be present at any entertainment •
while an enemy of France was 9f the party. M•
Von Sturmer not answering this letter, M. Latour
MaubUrgcommunicat'&l the circumstance to the di-
plomatic agents, and invited them to
.break off all
intercourse with Von Store er ; which WI the agent`;
who were at Constantinople have carried intrieffett."
We hear again that a number of Russian troops
have lately assembled near the frontiers of Austria,
more especially since M., Von Sturmer so openly
threw off the mask at Constantinople.
