SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1809.

As our Readers must feel the strongest interest
in the fate of our gallant countrymen abroad, it
is with much pleasure we inform them, that
Dr. BLAN2, who had been sent by Government
to 'examine -into the state of the troops at Wal-
liercn, has just returned from that island, and
his report is highly favourable as to the abatement
of the malady. The number of Patients received
into the hospitals during the last week, and the
week before, was less by a thousand than had been
usually afFeaed within the same period.

This morning we received German Papers to the
7th instant. The following are their principal con-

tents :--

BANKS OF THE ELBE, OCT. 6.—Private letters
from Bohemia and Hungary still continue to repre-
sent the hope of an ultimate peace between Austria
and France as more and more wavering. Perhaps the re-
turn of the last Courier from St.Petersburgh wllith was
expe&ed in the middle cf the present month will bring
all to an issue. The return of Prince PosTa Coavo,
4BERNADOTT.E) from Faris to Austria, was con-
sidered in many politieal circles in that capital as a
certain omen of war.

The conditions of peace between Russia and
Swed::n, it must be regretted are hard for Sweden,
and directly opposi to to the political interest which
has hitherto subsisted between that unfortunate
Power a:ld Great Britain.

HAmhußon,OoT.6.—The ratification of the treaty
' between R1.:.:513 and Sweden, is to be exchanged at
St.Petersburgh within 4 weeks. The King of Sweden
engages by it no longer to admit English ships of war,
or merchantmen, into Swedish ports, but has re-
served to himself the impartation of salt and colo-
nial produce.—(Ccrrespondenten.)

Last night Vilcniteu-s to the sth inst. arr;ved, but
they contain no ii;telligence respeCting the Negocia-
rioni, nor irtJeed any news of importance.

Ald'ough we have not recently received any posi-
tive intelligence respecting BUONAPARTE'S health,
y-:, we think there are strong grounds for su.pea;ng
that he is by no means recovered from the illness
under whieh he laboured.
,The Dutch Papers tell us
that he was elpeEted at the Court of Bavaria, where
prepatations were making for his reception, while
at the same time the German Papers assert that he
was going to Breun, and the Hari burgh Paper,
under the direction of BOURIENNE, stated that the
Imperial equipages were on the road to Spain.—
But we know from sub,sequent accounts that he
bad not quitted Schoenbrunn. We knew that
1..1e was most seriously indisposed, that his rea-
on was affeded, that Physicians were sent for
front Paris, that the question of peace or war was
ror settled at the end of September, and it is very
remarkable that BOURIENNE'S own Paper, the Ham-
turh Cortepondent,' acknowledged that the Aus-
trian Minister was about to quit Altenburgh, and
to break otT the Conferences, when M. DE CHAM-
TAGNY informed him that he had other propoSitions
to make to him, which might be agreeable to Aus-
From these accounts it is evident either that

;nil.

Bi;ONAPARTf. still continues ill, or else that he -is-
not in a condition to diaate a peace to Austria: But
it has been said, that the Court of Russia is essen-
tially interested in the-e Negociations, and that Pe-
tersburgh being at so great a distance from Vienna,
the exchange_ of couriers necessarily prolonged the
Negotiations. But if that were the case, how did
it happen that CHAMPAGNY detained Count 'MeT7
TE,RNICif, the Austrian Ambassador, to acquaint. him
that. he had propositions to make, which Austria
would be inclined to listen to ?

, There-can be no doubt that about the end of Au-
oust BCONAPIIRTE was seriously ill. His illness was
'certainly not; mentioned in the ffreoch or Dutch-
T'apers, but•thr fact of the Physicians being-seql for
to Paris is undoubted; yet at that
_very time we
were, told in the French' and Duch Papers that he
was reviewing the different corps of his army, re-
ceiving Ambassadors, and corresponding with the

lz,lnero

rof Austria. It is impcbsible to account for
these contradietions; and for the continued pro-,
tr ation of the, Ncgociations, without supposing
ther that the illness of BUOt,!APARTE srai continues,
cr that he flints •hirnielf unable to dictate terms of
V.v.ce to Austria: .Tho resistance which Austria has
