FROG!! Fiii3Al7ll PAPERS.

War his not yet commenced; for rencontres of ,
advanced pasts, of "which there are no official acs
counts, or even authentic relations, scat mot be re-
garded as battles.-, This War, however, already of-,
fen; results iMpoitant for France ; and it is now
scarcely doubted that the new Cealition will have an
issuestill less.fortunate for the Confederates than the
first War of the Revolution.
to At, the moment-the French Armies areadvanc-
ing so rapidly into the Interior of Germany, all Eu-
rope asks how the Court of 'Vienna, so pelitic and so
vigilant reap4ing its interests, could, after the ex-
perience of the past, resolve' to braee such great
dangers, and'why she does not • abandon Allies that.
place her in a situation so critical ? But those who
examine` the cause of this War, Who know those se-
cret Views of the Coalition, and particularly that of
the House .of 'Austria, can no more be astonished
at the Perseverance of the Court of Vienna, than at .
that of her associates, in pursuing an unjust aggress
skit) against France..
History informs ussthat from the accession: of
Ronateic, of Hapsburgh, to the Imperial Thorne,
but particularly smce the reign of Cw!ieers V. the
House of Austria has not ceased to seek the sove-
ereigu and absolute dominion of Germany; that with
this view, she has favoured, by all the means
placed within her power, the diviSions and wars
which arose between the Princes of Germany. It was
undoubtedly less from teal for the Catholic Religion
thati'from the fear of seeing an independent league
rising in the bosom of the Empire, interested in sup-
porting the rights a the Germanic Body, that
Cisarti,i s and Ins successors perSecuted with such
eagerness the Princes, who had embraced the Re-
formed Religion. The Emperors of Austriasseenied
always to regard Germany less as a fiederal associa-
tion, of Sovereigns, ,thae as a feudal anarchy, and
as a patrimony. ,wrested from their House, because
they saw France successively parcelled out under
the last Kings of the second races But there ' was
to.similerity. between the political organization of
the two States. The right of ele6tion, perpetuated
in the Princes of the Germanic Body, sate a sove-
reignty far epterior to that of the House of Austria
over all Gerineny, whereas the whole of France had
net ceased to have hereditary Kings, and the power
of the feudal Barons was nothing-but a very evident
invasion of the Royal Power, • '
" This principle being recognized, audit is essential
to recognize it. in the question with which we are
occupied, it is easy to, appreciate the condo& of the
Rouse of Austria towards the Germanic Body.
Charged to watch over its Constitution, it has only
employed the mans with which it was entrusted ,
(or its, preteetion to accelerate its ruin. In every War,
and ip every Treaty, we see German Princes have
recourse sto the intervention of France, and since
there has arisen in tin. North a Mdnarchy founded
by the courage and the political genius of its first
Sovereigns, we have seen' the German Princes more
assiduous in cultivating its alliance, and to strengthen
the bonds of their mutual independence, than in
bowing for the grandeur of 'a House which has' at
all times shown itself the enemy' oftheir power, and
even of their authority. From this alone We may
Conclude that the Princes of Germany always see
with regret the Vars in which Austria wishes to en-
gage them, and are interested in opposing its aggran-
dizement : this also renders probable all the projeas
which have been attributed to that.House—projetts
which, at every important epoch, have been remind,
end which she thinks, in fine, of realizing in the
present conjuncture.
a The rumour is at present generally spread in
`England, and eves in Getaway, that there is, • in
the present War, a proje& of dismembering the Gee.
manic Body, and of Substituting one or two great
Towers to, the antient Republic of Sovereigns which
now govrn Germany.
" The English Ministry, who wished at any price
to re-kindle the flames of War on the Continent,
which they believed necessary to their 'interests, have
held out this proica r. they have caressed the secret
and ruling polite) of Austria, to determine it to
'undertake a War. so dangerous. The Emperor el
Aussis himself has consented to it, in order to fa-
vour mere remote designs : the Emperor Aeuxats-
conld not be deterred is), private considerations,
by.fainily ties, which unite him to souse Elettors ;
we see froth the openiee of the War, that he can
sacrifice them' in case of need, and force . them to
throw themselves into the arms of France. Uwe
are even te credit reports iiserving of. same confi-
dence, this plan was opened to the Kits: of Pans-
sta by the Emperor ALk:XANDICR himself at the in.
letidew 'Which these two Sovereigns had at Memel ;
and on thareupposition it is Illtely.that a very good
lot waroOreti to the Prussian Monarch, to seduce
him and make him forget more dear and mom solid
interests. But the successor of the Great Fawns
SICK has not forgotten that he owes his glory to the
system of this political organizationof Germany : the
influence which he exercises in that roped is the
finest part of his power. Whatever indemnity he
might receive elsewhere, it could notcounterbelauce
the advantage and the honour of being conjointly
with France the natural postaler of the Germanic
Liberty. By taking away nil the intermediate Powers
which impede the ambition of Austria, he would
put himself at her discretion; he could not then
lave favoured projeets which would only turn to the
vont ptif.blsetatural Enemy ; and the attitlidnylirhich

Viz feel the utmost satisfadion in being eh,
abled fully to confirm the statements we hive hi-
therto made resp.e6ting the; favourable disposition of.
the KlNti of yitosah .towards the Allies. :Mr.
JAcKsoti, brother to the British Minister ar-Ber.
lin, arrived in town hat night, and we have the
strongest _reason to believe that the Dispatches
which he brought were of the most gratifying ha-
Wre. When the intelligence reached us of the
.
violation of the Neutrality of - the Prussian
Territories by. the French, we ventured to pre
did"" that, although &NAPA might derkVe
some temporary advantage, from this a6l of aggrts-
Sioll, it would ultimately be productive of the most
advantugeous consequences to the Cause of the
Allies. That predietion has already been, to a cer-
tain. degree, verified by the permission given by His

The Russians have marched from Stralsund, and,
the last accounts state, that they had arrived at
Schwerin ; and it ,is stated in the Mail which. ar.,
rived this morning, that an 'Arrnrof 50,000 Itus
sians are ott their march thioligit the King of Pays-
StAIS Polish Dominions.

Tim Rao:burgh Mail due yesterday arrived this

morning.

\Vu had anxiously expected some further newt{
from the Continent,
,in order to elucidate the, posi-
tions of the Artniee, and we particularly looked for
the Austrian account of the anion,• of the result of
which the French boaA 8o" much. We are, how.
ever, completely disappointed, at least' in the latter
instance, as no aceount whatever .(except French) is

gee. There are Letters from Ratishon of the loth
and t tth instant, which state, that the French
'it'd passed the Danthe at Nteuberg and at In.
goistadt, but not only they do not say one word of
any ton having taken place, but they state that no
general staion had taken place, and. that the Aus'•
trims were retiring for the papaw of concentrating
their Forces. We are utterly at a loss to reconcile
these statements with the previous accounts, unless
it is meant to be conveyed by the tiff cards no. gene-
ral rtaion," that only a few skirmishes •had", taken
place, which were not worth mentioning. BONA-
vArra's head-quarters were, at the date of these
Letters, near Angsburgh, and Br aNADo TT a was
marching to Munich.
A Letter from Ulm, of the sth, states, that the
Head-quarters of the Austrian Army were then at
that place, to which they had been removed on the
Bth.

We have next a letter from Wurtzhurgh, of the
iith, which oddly enough :announces the receipt of
Letters from Augsbargh, of the mit, stating, that
,the Austrian Army wider the Archduke VERDI»
WAND, Mt Ullli, were cut. ott by the march of the
French—that BOWAPPOtrieS' Read-quarters were,

of which it was.stipposed the opportunity would be,
seized by the French of making an attack uvon .the
Austrians in Italy. : This Letter, :however, from
Wurt thurgh, bears evident marks of Fieneh m atilleaa•

place. Thii • Aetion at Wertingen, of which the
French' boasted so much, must -have been little
more than a mere skirmish, and the rest a mere war
of posts. BONAPARTE seems, in his rapid march, to
have dared his fortune to the utmost, and perhaps
may find it desert him at-the most critical moment.
Another 4tter from Wurtzbut,of the t i th,states,
that the VatiOf the Russians bad arrived at Braunau,
on the Inn, and that another Column was at Wald-
Munchen, on the Frontiers of Bohemia 'The Fiench

No particulars are however given, and we look with
a very suspicioui eye Upon 'Letters frimi Wuitzburg,
which, it is well known, is in the possession of the
French. We are Still of opinion that the Austrian
main Army remain' strongly concentrated and uri-;
touched.

We received this morning the following. Letter
by the hithpft Mail.
LISBON,OCT. i i.—Lord NE' LSO 14 was on Cadiz,
with thirty Sail of the Line, on the 4th inst. It is
,expeaed that his Lordship 'will attempt something
against the Combined Fleets., We learn from a Cor-
respondent at Gibraltar, that the Transports forming
the Expedition under Sir JANIZS Car,' in have sailed
down the Mediterranean : unless they are to aet
against Cadiz there is no accounting for this measure.

'• General JUNQT is recalled, it h said, to take an
important command.

" A cbange of Administration is expeaed to take
place heie immediately."

We stated yesterday that there was every reason
to hope, that all the ships which were bound to Lisbon
had escaped the Rochefort Squadron, and- arrived
at the place of their destination. The Oporto Fleet,
a part of which it is supposed has been captured,
consisted of fifteen sail, seven of which only were
laden, the rest were in ballast.

We still entertain hopes that the Rochefort Squa.
dron will be intercepted before their return to Port :
Admiral DUCKWORTII, with six Soil of the Line
and some Friates, has been dispatched in pursuit
of them.

TiH Cork Advertiser, of the 17th inst. Which-we
received this morning, has•the following paragraphs:
Ft;om some American Papers, which arrived in
town yesterday, we lay the following Extraas be-
fore our Readers :

Noasom, Auo. 'Moms, of the
Ship Annauxuz, arrived Philadelphia in sixty

June, in long. 21. 30. he was brought to by the
Brittsh Frigate Cerberus, of 40 guns, and boarded
byan Officer, who informed him, that (Atha Western
Islands they had engaged and captured the new French
Frigate Pille de Path, of 44 guns and 350 men,
after an Adion of three hours and a half, and sent
her foi England ; the Cerberus had suffered con*
siderably, and lost 'l7 men killed, and 25 wounded ;
amongst the killed was the First Lieutenant, and
they wounded the Captain." ;

AUGUST 20.—Orders have been itioett to the
Connantler6 of the :Militia in the different States of
