Saragossa, where the remains of the army Which
was defeated in Tudela has Mikan shelter, contains
at present upwards of 120,000 souls, and 40,000
men in arms, which large number cannot but acce-
lerate the surrender of the Place ; where, as it is sur-
rounded on all sides, the utmost scarcity of pro-
visions • must na!urAly prevail.' The Duke of
Abrantes (Subsoil is besieging the town with the
ath.corps, and with the division of General &miter.
Wo Are covering the 'siege with another division.
:The town lias b,ietn blockaded ever since the 'Jilt of
,flecernber. The works and trenches are already
pushed on to the gates 'of the town, and the bon-
baidinent is
,kept up without intertuiSsion. In short,
within a. fortnight, the place must surrender,
when Saragossa shall have been subdued, Arragon is
'not likely to make any fdther resistance, and all
Spain will be conquered, for all-the inhabitants who
remain in a state of insurredion, have fixed their
eyes on Saragossa.

'LENTZ, FEB. 8......(8y Way of France.)—The
anxiety which the reports of a new war in Austria
had oecasinneci, has been augmented by the late
.measures of the Court of Vienna. It is certain
that some light corps ere to be formed, which will
be sent. to join different regiments.
Other military preparations are likewise making,
and magaz:ties are forming in Bohemia and Austria".
M. FASSEENDEE, who in the late campaigns was
Principal Commissary of the Austrian Army, has
been again 'appointed to that post, and the Count Ds
GUINN; formerly Adjutant General. to the Arch-
duke,CAUaLES, lias been appointed Adjutant to the
Emperor. The Archduke FgRDINAND is to take the ,
thief command of an Austrian army in Bohemia, if
. war should break out, and Count BeLLEGARDU will
command' an army in Corinfhia and Carniola. In
the mean time, several Generals, who commanded
on the Turkish frontiers have been recalled to Vi-
enna. Many persons, however doubt whether the
Archduke CitAitz.Es approves of the measures of the
.Court, and will'be 'willing to enter into a new war.
In the 'conferences which have been held sin the
snbjea, and at which both that Prince and the Arch-
dtike FettnisiAbip., the brother of the Empress, were
present, it is'sisitfa new getter levy was spoken of,
and ditlisrent measures proposed to render it agree-
' able to the people. Those most experienced intni-
litary affairs estitnate the whole Of our regular troops
at 143,000 men ; but it is not praelicable to find a
traitrof artillery sufficient for an army of 60,0°0
men.....:..(Leyden Courant, Feb. 27.)
