FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 19.

General Oudinot, who commands the troops that
are to occupy Bayreuth, passed through Hoff on the
19th, on his way thither. His army marched in seven
columns through Hoff between the 19th and 24th.
Marshal Davoust (Duke of Auerstadt) is to com-
mand all the troops remaining in Germany after the
evacuation of Prussia, with the exception of those
under the command of the Prince of Ponte Corvo.
Ln the mean time letters from Berlin, of the 20th,
mention, that several arrangements, recently made
dler?, indicated that the French would still pass the
winter in that capital. A requisition has been made
of 5000 blankets, for the camp at Charlottenburg, and
!ZOO° were actually delivered. A great number of
stoves were also demanded ; hut on the 18th' the
Government received intelligencq by a courier that
the city should be evacuated between the 20th and
SOth inst.

General St. Hilaire, the Commandant of Berlin, is
we are assured, to fill the same post at Stettin, which
is to be occupied by a French garrison until the con-
clusion of peace with England.
Count Galtz arrived on the 18th at Berlin, accom-
panied by the Councillor of Finance, Stegeman, both
of whom are charged to arrange every thing finally
with the French relative to money matters, and the
transfer of the Civil Government,

AMSTERDAM, NOVEMBER 3.
The Imperial Decree of the 16th of September last
is suspended, in consequence of the application of his
Majesty. A courier has just arrived with the intelli-
gence. It is the duty of every honest merchant to
submit with resignation and sincerity to the tempo-
rary restrictions upon commerce, in the hope that a
speedy peace will repair the losses, and indemnify the
kingdom for the evils to which, from its topographi-
cal situation, it is more exposed than any other part
of Europe, but from which none of them are exempt.
Any other line of conduct would not only increase
the misfortunes of individuals, but compromise the
honour of the nation. Our system in this respect can
be no other than that of France. We ought to be
convinced that his Majesty will lose no opportunity
of removing the restrictions which are necessarily im-
posed upon commerce at this period.

Before the close of Change yesterday a rumour
prevailed very generally, that Austria had declared
war against France.—lt was even asserted by some
that an Austrian Messenger had arrived with dis-
patches to that effect.
The fact is simply this : several letters were received'
from Heligoland, which actually state, as a rumour
current there on the sth inst. and said to have been
brought by different individuals who bad arrived
there from Germany, that this measure had been re-
solved on by the Court of Vienna, in consequence of
the discovery cf certain arrangements at Erfurth
highly prejudicial to the interests of Austria.
We have not been able to ascertain that any Mes-
senger did arrive; but scme of the litters alluded to,
state, that an Austrian Courier was reported to be on
his way to England, with dispatches—which proba-
bly gave rise to the report that cne had arrived.
Another fact, which rests on the best authority, also
transpired—namely, that the Exchange between
Vienna and Hamburgh had fallen from 34 to 28,
which is lower than ever was known since the year

1799, when so many destructive failures took place at
Hamburgh.—This was coupled with the report of
hostilities between Austria and France, and was re-
ceived by many as direct evidence of the truth of the
rumour.

The preventicn of the circulation of the Vienna
Gazettes by the different Postmasters in those districts
which are under French controul was also mentioned,
as a proof of the hostile mind of NAPOLEON towards
Austria : nor can it be doubted that he must fed
offence at the unrestricted freedom with which the
German newspapers publish accounts of the occur-
rences in Spain, and the remarks they make on his
conduct towards that kingdom.
Such are the reports that were in circulation,
and as such we lay before our Readers. We are
apprehensive, however, that there is really no good
foundation for believing that Austria has entered
the lists with France, or that such an event may be
soon expected. The fall in the Exchange may be
owing to commercial causes only. The stopping the
circulation of newspapers containing undisguised state-
ments, is no new feature in the policy of NApouton ;
and the very way in which he effects it, slims a wish
to avoid hostilities.—lt is done, not by an insulting
edict, but by private instructions to the Postmasters,
to suppress the delivery of such single papers as con-
tain statements which are wished not to be generally
known. At present we shall only remark farther,
that all news from Heligoland should be received
with some caution. Placed on an island, they have
no ready means for ascertaining the truth of the ru-
mours that reach them.
