PAPER.

AUGSMIRO, AUG. 21.—Within these few days
great movements prevail among the French troops
in Bavaria and Swabia, apparently dire&ed against •
the Tyrol. In the bloody aaions.in the narrow
'defiles 'of the BreTier, the two Bavarian regiments
'of. Life Guards, and,two light battalions; have suf-
fere4auch, and the contingents.of the Duke of
Salcotiy-in the same proportion. The insurgents
Wlibleftised to deliver up their rifle guns, defended
themselves like desperadoes. At this moment a great
part of Tyrotresemblea La Vendee. Landeck has' be-
come a prey to the flames.
UPPER BAVARIA, AUG: 21.—The mach which
the Dtike of Dantzic (Marshal Lefebvre) und'ertook
over the Brennersberg, with the combined army of
French, Bavarians, and Saxons, was extremely dif-
ficult. With danntless courage the troops advanced
on the 6th nd 7th of August, to within two-league&
of Brixeri.; They climbed mountains which the Ty-
rolese themselves considered as impassable. But a
narrow valley, the steep heights above, which were
occupied by the insurgents, rendered any progress
impossible. The ariuy being in great want of pro 7
visions, was obliged to return to Insprnck, where
it arrived on the 1 ith of August. On the 13th, at
sunrise, all the neighbouring mountains appeared.
covered with insurgeths. A battle began, which -
lasted from six in the morning till night. Not the
courage of the Tyrolese, but the nature of the place,
prevented the brave army of the • Duke of Dantic
from giving them a complete defeat. As the army
marched back through the lower Innthal, they found
the towns and villages empty, the inhabitants hav-
ing fled with. their cattle to the mountains ;,but how
will it fare with them next winter, when the inoun-
tains are covered with snow, they will then be
obliged to remain in the vallies —(Corropendenten,
• September 5.)
BANKS OF THE El.pE, SEPT, I.—The tumours of
peace arid war with 'Anstria keep wavering, and in
consequence of the arrival of a Courier to the French
Minister at Hamburgh, and several Elhafettes, it
has been generally reported, that the day before yes
tend y, the French Minister 'for Foreign Affairs,
Cotint Champagny, returned from the conference at
Altetiburgh, in Hungary, to Vienna, and that thee
Emperor of Austria has Sent notice to the French
, campp-that the armistice will be broken off in a fort-
night after notice. The Tyrolians have otjtained a
signal victory over the confederate army under the
command of the DUke of Dantzic ; besides a vast
number of killed, 'they have cut off or taken Pri,
Boners between 8 and gOOO. The brave Tyrol-
are preparing to invade Bavaria, on which ace
the whole French and confederate military for
conceeifeted near Munich.

BAYREUTH, AUG. 22.—The corps forming b.
Puke D'Abrantes is destined, should bosti
break out again, to prote& Saxony and Trani
from an invasion from Bohemia, where the
Irian General Kienmeyer is stationed with 25
men, behind the Egra. The Wurtemberg Ga
