FRE‘CH PAPERS.

PARIS, JULY t.

Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has
received the following intelligence respecting the si-
' tuation of the Army on the 15th of June :
. On the 24.t1i the Emperor dined with the King of
Saxony. In the evening the French comedians gave,
in the Court Theatre, one of Moliere's pieces, at which
their Majesties were present. The King of West-
phalia has arrived at Dresden, to see the Emperor.
On the ‘2.5t11 the Emperor visited the different de-
• bouclies of the forests of Dresden, and travelled about
twenty leagues. His Majesty set out about five in
t the afternoon, and returned at. ten in the evening.
i Two bridges have been thrown over the Elbe op-
i posite the fortress of Keenigstein. The Rock of Sil-
-1 verstein, which is upon the right bank, within half
. cannon-shot of Kocniastein, has been occupied and
fortified. Magazines and other military establi,h.
I ments have been prepared in that interesting yosition.
A camp of 60,000 men, thus leaning upon the for- ,
tress of Koenigstein, and being able to act upon both
banks, could be unattackable by any force whatever. ,1
The King of Bavaria has establis ed round Nym-
phenbury, near Munich, a camp of 25,000 men.
The Emperor has given the command ( f the Bava-
rian corps of observat,on to the Duke of Cistigli. ne.
This army has assembled at Wurtzbeurg : it is com-
posed of six divisions of infantry, and two of cavalry.
The Vicesoy is assembling, between the Pcave and
the Adige, the army of I:aly, coropcsea of tutee',
troops. General Orenier commands one of therm—
The new corps which has just betn termed at M.T,-
deburgh under the command of Genet al Vandamme,
already consists of ferry battalions, and eighty pieces
of artillery. The Prince of Eckmuiil is at Ham-
burgh : his corps has be' n reinha.ci d by troops com-
ing from France and Holiand ; so that upon that
point there are mere troops than there ever were.—
The Danish division, wlii,h ha, joined the Prince of
Ec'kmuhl, consists ( f 15,000 men. The 2cl corps,
which the Duke of Baum) commaud:, had hut one
divis!on during the can paign whieli has just finished;
this corps has been completed, and the Duke of 80l- l'
lune aow coninn •.thi three divisions.—Circumstances 1
v-ete so urgt tit at the comtnenctment of the can:-
paign, that I.,attali:4s of the same regiment were (Its-'
scniaated into different cull-% Al has beer Tet e-
lated, and every regiment has its brtt.dions Intim'.
Every day a great number of battaiions un t; eir
match, which pass the Elbe at Ma4debtagh, arrive
at Witterburg, 'l'orgatt, and Modem His Majesty
daily reviews those which art ive at Dresden.
Tile military eirripaget Lit' the a:My are nnw either;
in caissons r f the old model, tat in cais,,ons I f the new 1
model (caPed No. 2), or in carrhles a la Coriaise, in
which provisions an: conveyed fir the tannic al my
for a month. His Maje!t) has disci veted that tie
can a la Ciarrtoire, as well as the c..iss, ns of the
ancient models, have inconvenienciee, and has urdeted ,
that tie ccittimes, as they may liencelorth requite
rei.lacing, shall be ct,tablid,ed t:Fon the modal of the
cait.sons No. 2, drawn by tour horses, and which
easily carry twenty quintals.
Tile army is provided with portable mills, weigh-f !
ing sixteen pounds each, capable of making five quip-
Nils of nnal daily. Three ef these mills have bi.en I
d;stlibated to rich battalion.

They are working with the greatest activity in
augmenting the fortifications of Glogau. His Ma-
jesty wishes to make that town a regular fortress ;
and as the place is defective, he has ordered it to be
cc,vered by duet crowns, by nearly following the me.
thud which Senatt.r Count Chasse'miss put kr prac-
tice at Alexandria. Torgau is in a good condition.
They are alsomorking with great activity in forti-
fy'ng Hamburgh. The General of Engineers, Haxo,
has proceeded thither to mark out the citadel, and
establish in the islands works to connect Hamburg!)
with airbourg. The Engineers of Bridges and
Causeways are constructing there two flying bridges,
upon the same system as those at Antwerp—one fur
the filming, the other for the ebb tide.
A new fortress upon the Elbe has been traced out
by General Haio, on the Verdon side, at the mouth
of the Havel.

The forts of Cuxhaven, which were in a condition
to support a siege, but which were abandoned wiih-
out reason, and which the enemy had razed, are re.
building. They are actively employed on them.
They will no longer be simple enclosed batteries, but
a fort, which, like the Imperial Fort of the Scheldt,
will protect the arsenal for construction, and the ba-
sin, the establishment of which has been projected
upon the Elbe, since that the Engineer Beaupe, who
employed two years in sounding that river, discovered
it lead the same properties as the Scheldt, and that
the largest squadrons could be constructed in it, and
collected in its roads.

The third division of the young guard, which Ge-
Aeral Labourde, an officer of consummate merit, com-
mands, is encamped in the woods, in advance of
Dresden, upon the right bank of the Elbe.
The fourth division of the young guard, which
General Frant commands, debouches by Wurtz-
bourg. Some regiments of that division have already
passed that town, and marched towards Dresden:
The cavalry of the guard already reckons more
than 9000 horses. The artillery consists already of
more than 200 pieces of cannon. The infantry tombs
five divisions, four of which are of the old guard.
The ith cores whir.la General litegpier commands,

emposed of Durette's division (which is a French di-
vision) and two Saxons, is reifeiving its complements.
This corps is in camps in advance of Guerlitz.
the Saxon light cavalry have joined it, and ere also
going to be completed. The King of Saxony has
completed his two fine re!,iments of cuirassiers to
their full complement. IJis majesty has been ex-
tremely satisfied with the Kings and Grand Dukes of
die Confederation. The King of Wirteinberg has
particulatly distivuhhed has made,
considering his ability, efforts equal to those of France;
and his army, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, has
been carried to its full complement. Prince Emele,
of Hesse Darmstadt, constantly distinguished himself
in 'the last campaign, and in the present, by great
sang, fivid and iat: enidity. ,I-Te is a .yor.ng Prince of
promise, whom the Emperor greatly estareme. The
Princes of Saxony are in :urea- with their contin-
gent, but not only is the Citadel of Erfurt in good
condition and well provisioned, but the fortifications
of the town have been re-established, they are covered
by advanced works, and henceforth Erfurt will be a
strong place, and of the first importance. Congress
has not yet assembled ; we, however, expect that it
will in a few days ; if a month is lost, the fault is not
with Fiance. England, who has no money, has not
been able to furnish any to the coalesced powers, but
she has just conceived a new expedient—a treaty has
been concluded between England. Prussia, and Rus-
sia, by means of which a nt..ev paper for several hun-
dred millions will be created, guaranteed lay the three
powers. It is upon this resource that they depend for
meeting the expences of the war. In the sepArate are
tides England guarantees a third of this paper, so that
in reality it is a new debt added to the English debt.
It remains to be known in what country this piper
will beissued; when this luminous idea was conceived,
it w as probably thought that this emission would take
place at the expence of the Confederation of the
Rhine, and even of France, particularly in Holland,
lgium, and the Departments of the Rhine, never- I
theleas the treaty has not on that account been raffled
since the Ai mistice. Russia pays the expellee of her
at my with paper, which the Prussians are obliged to
reci.ive. Prussia herself pays her debt with paper;
England likewise has her paper. It appears that
each of those isolated powers has no longer sufficient
credit, as those powers have come to the resolution of
creating a common one. It remains for the merchants
and bankers to inform us if. the credit of the new paper
is to increase by the credit of the three powers, or
rather if the credit is to be the equivalent for it. Swe-
den alone appears to have received money from Eng-
land, to from 5 to £600,00{) sterling.
The garrison of Medlin is in a pod state ; the for-
tifications have been augmennal. e have deci-
phered at Head-quarters the two Rcperts from the.
Governors of faliaiiin and Zarnoza ; the garrisons of
those two fortresses remained masters of the country
a league round them, the troops who ;:a de d them
being only badly armed and equipped Militia.
The Emperor has taken into his pay Prince Ponia-
towskes army, and givea it a new eiganizatian ;--in
less than twenty days it v. ill az fresh equipped, and ta
