TURIIDAY, FRBRUARY el, 1809.

We some months ago expressed on opinion of the
probability of a rupture between Austria and France,
and all the intelligence which we have recently re-
ceived from the Continent tends very strongly to con-
firm that opinion. The Lady Prances Packet arrived

mo'ared on the Continent, that a rupture between
France and Austria was inevitable. nVONAPARTE,

return from ,Spain,, but set out for Germany almost

more:tinsn 3000 French troops-there. There were
