FRANKFORT, AUGUST 1. .
We are assured that the troops of the Princes of
the Confederation of the Rhine have received orders
to hold themselves in readiness to march at the first
signal; it is still reported that they are destined for
Italy, but it is more generally thought that they will
net leave Germany.
At:et:sr 2.--If we may judge from the number
and speed of couriers, and ..he consequence of the
persons employed to carry the dispatches, some busi-
ness of very great importance is transacting at this
moment.—Our journals contain the following article,
under the head Lyon, t—Within a short time, a great
number of troops have passed through this city from
ithe easterly partsof France; they are to be embarked
on the Rhone, and afterwards conveyed in carriages
to 'Pergignan, whence they will march to job our
army in Catalonia; more are expected here, and
among others 3. part of the Paris guards. From the
Northern parts of Italy, French troops are-tkewise
on their way for the same destination.—We are
assured that oar army in Spain will be augmented
to more than 150,000 men. The commotions in
that kingdom are not yet appeased. But they are
not dangerous. Our army will soon be sufficiently.
reinforced, to occupy, with strong bodies of troops,
thc mutinous provinces. The insurgents are not nu-
merous in Valencia and Murcia, and throughout Ca-
talonia tranquillity is already restored. Considerable
transports of provisions and ammunition have been
sent to the armies from the southern provinces of
France, by the way of Perpignan. A considerable I
corps of troops, under the command of Marshal I
Moncey, is now in the kingdom of Valencia, which
will be joined by the corps under the commando( Ge-
neral Dahesme.
Auovsr 3.—Our Journals contain accounts from
Austria, which state, that the recruiting for the bat-
talions of reserve in the Austrian Stites, does not go
on without difficulty; that in several provinces, par-
ticularly Carttiola, Gortz, Friuli, and part of Cohn-
this, the inhabitants have shewn solnuch reluctance
to be inrolled, that very serious disturbances have
'risen, to quell which it has been necessary to call in
the aid of the military.
The Grand Duke of Hesse ha ordered the Code
of Napoleon to be introduced in his dominions. Se-
-IYeral movements are at present observed among the
troops of the Princes of the Confederacy of the
Rhine, which seem to be the result of some general
measure. It is reported, that all the troops of the
above Princes are to be ready About the end of this
month to march at the shortest notice, and that
some corps of them are to assemble in. Mayence.
. VIENNA, JULY 23.
The greatest exertions are made here in organizing
the militia, and exercising them in the use of arms ;
and the Archduke John has signified to the inhabi-
tants of Triest, that though they are free from the
conscription, it is their duty to do all in their power
for the safety of the country. and to promote the sa-1
lutary views of the Sovereign. This has had so good
an effect that the merchants have not only raised
many 'men, but subscribed considerable sums of
money. The same Prince has likewise, by his pre-
sence, appeased a trifling disturbance which took
place at 'Priest on account of the protest made against
the American ships which attempted to unload thcir
cargoes.
JrLY 24.—1 n Turkey, a report is prevalent that a
peace between Russia and the Porte may soon be ex-
pected, and that the Grand Signior is firmly resolved
not to recede from his alliance with France.

According to a private letter from Constantinople,
an English agent had arrived in that capital, in hopes
that he would be able to bribe some Members of the
Divan, and seduce the Porte frOm her alliance with
France ; but he was discovered, and sent away. How-
ever this may be, it is at least certain that the Court
of London has lately offered to the Divan the most
advantageous conditions of a separate peace, which,
hewever,have been rejected.

the loss of the smr.ll corvette Scipio, which was
driven on shore near Semarang, on the SOth of Au-
gust last year, by the enemy's frigate Psyche. The
best disposition prevails among the troops in Java.
Batavia was plentifully supplied with provisions, and
had even been able to send a considerable quantity
of rice to the Isle of France.

BERLIN, AUGUST 1.
Great activity prevails in our arsenal for the supply
of Custrin and Stettin. Six months provisions are
ordered to be laid in at each of those places, from
which circumstance it is evident that the French troops
are not to be withdrawn from our country so soon as
was expected. • A considerable quantity of artillery
and ammunition has arrived here within the last fort-
night from the French depth of reserve at Hameln,
and has continued its route to Poland.
