PROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

F AAAAA oar, Strr. :7.—The lab letters which
have reached us from Saxony, announce that xy,ooo
Saxon troops are now concentrated between Drefden
and the frontiers of the kingdom of Bohemia, and
cantoned at a certain difiance from the places through
which the Pruffians pals ; fo that there is as yet
no union between the two armies. The Eleflor, they
fay, has hitherto refilled it. The Prince of Hohen-
lahe is Rill at Drefden ; it is thought that he has con-
fined hinsfelf to demanding a palfage for the Prutfran
troops through the Elettorate of Saxony, and alto foe
other foreign troops, which, he lays, are ezpeCted.—
The motives which the Pruffian General alledges to
jultify his demand relative to the pelage, is quite
extraordinary, for he declared that the ['ruffian
troops were obliged to evacirate Silefra, to make room
for the Ruffian troops which will immediately arrive
from Poland.

SIFT. 28.—The divifion of General Dupont,
which was at Cologne and in the neighbourhood, ar-
rived here this day. The advanced guard of the
divifion under the orders of Marfhal Lefebvre quit-
ted on the 2 sth its Cantonments on the Tauber, and
marched by Wurzburg towards Oberland ; the sell
of the divifion will immediately march in the fame
direainn.

According to letters from Saxony the Pruffian ad-
vanced polls are already on the frontiers of the terri-
tory of Memmingen, on the Side of Franconia. It is
not true that the Saxon troops have joined the Prof-
flans. It appears that the L•'leflor of Saxony is de•
termined to preferve his neutrality ; but in order to
attain this objeft,he swift alto adopt the refolutinn of''
defending it. It is confidently aliened, that the
Ruffians ate in Vella ; in that cafe, the Court of
Berlin may, without fear, publith its manifello,
which was piloted tome days fence, as the prefenee
of the Ruffian troops in the Pruffian territories is
equivalent to a declaration of war. If it is true, as
Slated, that the Ruffians have, formally refolved not to
ftirrender the Mouths of the Cattaro, as that refolu
lion mull have been taken before the refufal to ratify
the treaty figned by M. D'Oubril, we begin to fee
clearly into the movements of the North, and may
tearoom/sly conclude that Ptuffia is now drawn in
by Rudia, as Aultria was fix months ago. Aullria
loft a part of her flutes in the fatal conteft—time
will trot fail to difclofe what Pruffia may lute in her
turn.

Since it has been known that the Confederation
of the Rhine is to have a Secretary of State to be
with the Emperor of the French, it is Paid that either
M. de Cetto, the Bavarian Minider at the Court of
France, or the Baron de Dalberg, nephew of the
Prince Primate, will be appointed to that office.

inhabitants of Vienna thought that infleAd of paying

wilier to carry the Silver to the Mint, and receive for

cur:lnmate*, obliged to lower the price of filter,

On the 3d is. September the bankers formed she
Fried of charging themselves alone with the forced

merchants. The following is the manner in which

capital, with whom they had entered into an arrange-

was on the point of being accepted, when the States
of Lower Altana made the lime offer to the Court.
It is not yet known what will be the determination of
Government refpeaing this bufinefs.
The new taxes having been known before they were
officially publifhed, a great inantity of filver was

magazines of there commodities in order to prevent
accidents. This tatted until Saturday evening, al-
though the Gazette appeared in the morning. On
Monday, the ill of September, the new prices were
fixed. The merchants fence complain of. diminution
of their trade. This, however, does not wife from
dimirrilhed confumption, but from the great Rock in
