FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

PARIS, OCT. The further the Armies' get
from us (say the Letters from Strasburgh), the
longer intervals must be expeEted between the 'arri-
vafof the Mails, as the paspge.of the Black Forest
is .not sufficiently safe., and thus the Dispatches
must ascend high into Franconia, and touch At
Spires, to proceed along the Rhine to Strasburgh."
According to the latest accounts from Franconia,
the Army of Marshal BZENADOTTE had already
passed .the city of Bamberg, and General MAR-
moNr -had arrived there, whilst the first Division of
his Army was already at Erlach. This Army from
Holland, with the other 'from Hanover, forms a
body of forty-two. or forty-three thousand men,
which will died a jun&ion with the Corps of Mar-
shal DAVOUST.

All the Northern Letters state, that the Cabinet
of St. Pctersburgh very much complains of theiieu-
trality of Prussia, and insists upon a passage through
Eastern Prussia; which, however, will not be
granted upon any account. It is also positively as-
serted, that, notwithstanding the statements of the
German and English Editors of Newspapers, there
are' no more than two Russian Armies on their
march, being in the whole about one hundred thou-
sand men, whilst the whole French force in Qer-
Many is estimated at 200,000 men, and is daily aug-
menting ftnm the interior.

MICKY, Aid-de-Camp to the EMPEROR of Itusst.t,
arrived here. It is said, that he is the bearer of a
Letter written with his Sovereign's own hand.—
This morning he had an interview withliaron HAR-
DENBERG.

The KINuG, who has ordered the Surgeon-General
MURSINNA to repair to the Army in Sile,ia without
delay, will, we are informed, bet out frorn Berlin
next week.

Wuarzatmou, OcT. 5.-06 Wednesday last a
part of the family of the ELECTOR-PALATINE left
us, and went to DuSseldorf in a' Yacht. On the
same day a shot was firzhl at his Eleeloral High-
ness, who was in his own room, but without wound-
ing him or any body else. Ott the same day he
had a conference with Marshal, BERNADOTTE, who
afterwards returned to the Army, and we have been
informed since, that all the Bavarian Troops are
taken into pay by the French, bat:were under their
own Commander, who is to be under the immedi-
ate orders of Marshal BERN ADOTTE. They are to
support the opevationS of the grand French Aruiy,
and take a position in the environs of Forckheim.
The Army is,divided into six brigades, each consist-
ing of two Regimimits of the Line, one of Cavalry;
and•the necessary Artillery : it is commanded by
Lieutenant-General DEROV, and under hiin serves
General- WREDE. The Lientenant-Genend Count
YSEZ4BURGH is appointed Governor of 'this Fortress
and Castle, which is, by the ELECTOR, placed at
the disposal of Marshal BERNADOTTE, whose Army
dire& s its march towards Bohemia.

STRALsuND, OcTon eft ! .—The Troops expeaed
from Sweden have arrived within these few, days,
consisting of a Battalion of one thousand men, and
two ditto of five,' hundred Grenadier Guards each,
with some Hussars and ammunition waggon,—
Thns about two thousand five hundred Wen have
been quartered, and our Garrison consists at present
of six than and men. The works of our fortifea4
tions are continued without interruption. GeniStal
CEDMISTAOM is arrived, but- will soon go back.
It is said, that eight thousand more Swedish troops
will arrive, and have received orders to march, but
we have no official information of it yet. The
Russians have made their appearance. A long-
boat from a Ship of 'War arrived here yesterday,
from Mouchgut, in the Island of Rtigen, with some
Officers. They will march across Mogen to the
Ferry of Gleritz, whence they will be ferried over
to Staibrod, iu Pomerania,. and not to our fortress.
Quarters have been bespoke for them by the Army
Commissaries, for a short time, in Pomerania, and
their maintenance is fixed at a certain rate. A
Camp will next b 4.1 formed, between Grim and
Loitz. In all sixteen or twenty thousand Rus-
sians have arrived. Seven Ships with Cavalry are in
Gripswalde Roads, and there are said to he from
thirty to fifty Ships off our Coast. They are stated
to carry an ample quantity of stores with them for
their magazines, except forage, home of which has
Pomerania.

riamburgh Mail due on Wednesday arrived

this. morning.

11 brings intelligence of the most important and
satisfactory nature. The fa&s which it announces
must, we conceive, have the most material influ-
ence on the conduit, and progress of the War, and
lead to results most favourable to the cause of the
Allied Powers.

The French Troops under BtENADOTTE and MAR-
mosrr, and the Bavarian Auxiliaries, whose united
obje& was, it wa3 supposed, to penetrate into Bo-
hemia, suddenly turned and marched'. towards the
Danube, for the purpose' of turning the Austrian
flank. The Column under.. BERNADOTTS march-
fed by Uffenheim towardS Nieuberg ;, that com-
manded ,by MARMONT by Mergentheim towards
Donauwerth ; and the Bavarians towardslugolstadt.
In order to arrive sooner at the point of his destina-
tion, BERNADOTTE determined to march through the
territories of Anspach ; belonging to Prus::ia. The
Prussian Officer who Commanded a D4achtn,-;nt upon
the frontiers, -protested against this breach of
Neutrality, but in vain; Bt RNADOTTt alledged that
he had positive orders to march through the Terri-
tories of AnspaCh, and he etfeEted his passage, the
Prussian detachment being compelled to retire. A
dispatch, announcing the condu6t pursued by the
French General, was immediately sent off to the
Prussian Court, in consequence of which a great
Council 9f State was held at Berlin,

The fa& was also publicly announced on the Pa-
rade by Marshal .O,IoLLENnottF, and it excited the
warmest indignation among all the General Officers
who were present, and even among the Troops.—
We are happy to have it in our power to add,
that this new, a6t of violence of the French
Usurper has produced a very strong etre& upon
the Cabinet of Berlin, and that his Ptussian Ma-
jesty declared he would in consequence allow a
Free Passage to the Russian Troops through his Do-
minions, and that he would not in any way oppose
the entrance td the Allied Forces into Hanover,
Our. Readers will recolle&, that almost the last
Moniteurs we received contained the strongest
invectives against the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, for
having, as it was stated, demanded a passage for
his Troops through the Prussian Dominions, and
yet, at that very moment, a French Army was.
violating the Neutrality- of Prussia, and forcing a
passage through a part of its Territories.—What
further resolution His 'PRUSSIAN MAJESTY may
adopt we cannot at, present pretend to state, but
there is the strongest reason to. hope that it
will he favourable to the Allies. But this
is not the only a& of violence and injustice
committed by the Usurper, 4f. whirl l we have
received itatelligettce I,)y tl4B day's Mail, snd also

by Private Lerzera, we. ...- _
firmest reliance may be placed. BONAPARTE, :a
he was at Stutgard, caused the Austrian and Russian
Ministers at that Court to be arrested, and thrown
into close imprisonment. All the persons attached
to the Embassies were seized at the same tw eime,
together with all their Papers ; and, as if he re

their arrest pub.

VIENNA, OCT. .--His Excellency Count HAuo-
wirz, the Prussian Minister, arrived here on the 29th'
of September. It is known that the objea of the
journey of his EXcellency is to maintain the tran-
quillity of Europe, and to conciliate, by the means
of mediation, the Powers which are on the brink of
a rupture. It is said that our. Court is much inclined
to this reconciliation, under certain condition 3, and
especially if security can be obtained.
It is believed that the EMPEROR will he present at
the approaching interview between the Emperor
ALEXANDER and the KING' of PRUSSIA.

soeavr to recover his lost treasure that he instantly
set oil for London, and, after a few days most dill-
erit search, he found out the place of her retreat.
He then made application to a.Magisfrate, who told
him that he must bring an anon against the man;
as such an offence did not come within the coni-
zance of a Justice of the Peace. The bushavd, how-
ever, said that he did not wish to prosecute the
man, if he could have his wife restored to him.
Upon this the Magistrate -inquired if she had taken
any .of his property away.with her, and being an-
swered in the affirmative, a . warrant was issued,
and the woman was brought before the Magistrate.
The husband immediately told her to -come home,

agreed to, and they loth went home together.
