VIENNA, JUNE

The organization of the battalions of reserve, or-
dered by the Patent of the 12th May, is proceeding
in all the provinces of the monarchy, except Hun-1
gary. This kingdom, it is known, is governcd by
particular laws. The battalions, as well as the num-
ber of men in each, are not numerous. The whole
only amounts to 59,500. Each of the forty-six re-
giments of German infantry is to have two battalions
of reserve ; the first to consist of 700 men, and the
second of 600.

ST. PETERSBURGH, lUNF
A few days ago, an English flag of truce appear-,
ed before Cronstadt, and requested to communicate
with the Emperor in person. :His Majesty being in-
forme,' of it, gave possitive orders that the vessel
should immediately retire, or that otherwise it would
be sunk by the batteries.

PARIS, JULY 5.
The Paris Papers, and the journals published in
the cruntrics which are occupied by this French ar-
mies, indulge in the most inccmsideratc expressions.
It is a stock jobbing trick to spread alarm and unea-

s'Oess.
A Berlin Gazette has had the effrontery to assert,
that Marshal Davoust had granted a reward of 100
francs to Russian deserters. This General, as it was
very natural, was much shocked at this observation,
wh•ch would indicate a lie ot conduct contraiy to
the sentiments by which n
the two countfies are ani-

mated.
Other papers have given the, particulars of some
supposed calamities which have fallen upon Moldavia
and Wallachia, and of the excesses said to have been
committed by the Russian-troops.
At the very moment that Russia reiterates her pro-
hibitions against English merchandise, other Papers
mention that they are received at Riga and CrenFtadt.
On the other hand, it is said, that colonial pro-
duce, protected by English convoys, are received at
Trieste. In short, they have had the impudence to
assert that American vessels, whatever the nature of
their cargoes was, have been admitted in the Spanish
ports. All these reports are equally false. The
Editors should he more careful not to sanction such
unfounded rumours.—lifoniteur. .
JULY 7.—At Vienna the following Proclamation
has been affixed in the public places by the order,
and in the name of his Majesty
His Majesty has not heard without the greatest
displeasure, that the evil-disposed have endeavoured,
with all their might, to spread disquieting reports
concerning the insecurity of the external peace and
apprehension of a new war. These ieports are
merely the result of an insatiablespirit of gambling.
His Majesty is in The most amicable relations with all
the powers of Europe ; but he will not suffer the
public peace to be interrupted, without punishment,
by the avarice of a few persons, and has, in conse.
qwence; ordered that search should be made for the
authors and elFseminators of such false reports;
having sufficient confidence in the body of rieraants,
to trust that they will inform a Special Crunin:s!.ion,
which has been established for that pure e, all they
are acquainted with concerning the circulators of the
current reports, and the artifices they employ."
Commissions were appointed by the Government;
who were to watch daily the Exchange, against the
stock jobbers, and the spreaders of false repoi ts,
