EXPLAhiffION of the CONDUCT of BAVARIA.

Rariss,v, Ocr. 4.—His Eleaoral Highnefs of
Bavaria has mired the following Paper to be deli-
•ered to the Diet, and to be publicly diftributed:
HISTORICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE EVENTS WHICH
HAVE DIRECTED THE CONDUCT OF HIS ELECTORAL
HIGHNESS, THA ELECTOR PALATINE OF BAVARIA,

DATtD WITRTZBURGH, WEPT 29, 1805.
Bawd down by the confecpences or an unfortu-
nate and e %banning war, Bavaria repoled in the
°timber of the molt profound peace. Without care,
it law the different camps in the adjoining Marian
States formed one after another. The want of peace
appeared to be general, and it never fufpated that it
could be the intention of the powers to interrupt the
public tranquility. Though a drynefs between France
and Rutlia threatened a dorm from afar, yet it was
be:ieved, that the diftance between thefe two Powers
might aff ird a well-grounded hope, that the mifun-
derflanding would not corns to a final rupture, or,
at lean, that Germany would not be involved in it.
Befides, the objet of their difpute was fo foreign to
the interens of the Bavarian States, that the idea
could fcarcely be admitted, that it could be involved
in the conten againft France. Bavaria had no cum-
plaint againn the Emperor Napoleon. By his vigo-
rous co-operation, it had received indemnification for
the loffes it had fu.tained in the tan war; and the
Courts of Vienna and Peterfburgh cannot deny the
interell which the Emperor of the French took on
that creation, in the Eletor of Bavaria.
In thefe circumflances, accounts were received in
Munich that the negocivions which had fcarcely com-
menced between France and Ruflia were broken off,
aad at the fame time that a numerous army of Aul-
trian troops was affembling at Wels, while confider-
able reinforcements were marching to the Tyrol.—
Several divilions of troops paired without previous
notice, on their march to the Tyrol, a part of the
Eleetoral territory. The remunitrances made upon
this fubjed produced the mot fatisfatory affurances
from the Aultrian Envoy at Munich, that this had
taken pl ice write contrary to the will of the Empe-
ror ; an enquiry was promifed to be innituted into
the condua of the officers who had led the divifions,
who they laid fhould be properly punifhed. No-
thing more was heard of the matter,but the paffages of
ton ,ps without permiffion, foliowed more frequently
and in greater numbers than before. Scarcely were
theft accounts received when the camp at Welt broke
up, and the march of the troops to Braunau gave
rcafon t fuppnfe, that they meant loon to crofs the
Inn. The Eleaor, however, hoped to be able to
preferve that neutrality which his geographical fitua-
tion, and the interetis of his exhautted States feemed
to prefcrihe to him as the moll agreeable fyttem.
The EleCtor had already commiffioned his Minifter
to make overtures upon the fubjet to the Court of
Vienna, when Prince Schwarzenberg fuddenly ap-
peared in Munich. He brought a letter from the
Emperor of kufGa, in which his Imperial Majelly,
in the molt decided terms, defired the immediate
union of the Bavarian with the Aultrian troops. This
letter contained threats in cafe this defire was not ful-
filled, and an affmance in cafe of its being amyl-
plithed, that he would never make any pretentious on
the (Mallen part of Bavaria. In this categorical
manner an overture was made, at a period when we
had tle lean reafun to expeft any (retentions to be
let forth by the Aultrian Court, that the Eleaoral
Miniftry had jun concluded a Convention with the
Imperial Plenipotentiary at Munich, fubjea to the
ratification of the Elertur. by which very confidera-
ble factifices were made in favour of his Imperial
Majelty and the Elator of Saltzburgh. The Prince
of Schwarzenberg explained more particularly in
an interview granted him by the Eldtor, and in ano-
ther which he had with the Miniver cf Foreign Af-
fairs, in a commanding tone, the intentions of the
Emperor. He defired the Bavarian army fhould
forthwith be delivered up to the Aultrian Generals,
and that in feparate divilions it fhouid be incorpo
rated with the Aultrian army. The menace even
escaped them that the Bavarian trocps, if the defire
was not fulfilled, fhould he difarmed. He required
a complete and accurate reprefentation of the Rate
of the Bavarian army, and to all his other demands,
he added another, that the Eledor fhould give him
an anfwer on the fame day. Nothing was prepared,
the Elettor thirking that he ought to yield to his con-
fidence in the Court of Vienna, immediately difpatch-
ed to his Majefly the Emperor, whole regard for
right and jaltice are fo generally recognized, his
Lieutenant General, the Couat N,garolla, with a
letter, written by his own hand, in which in the
openeß and molt cordial terms he confidentially re-
prefented to his Majefty the fituation in which the
kleCtor found himfelf, the neceflity he was under of
abi-ing by the fyflem of neutrality that he had
adopted. Without permitting himfelf to take any
Reps which could excite fufpiciuns ref-peeing his in-
tentions, the Elettor, by the million of this General,
deorivad himfelf of the commander of one of the
principal divifions of his army. General Nugarolla
h id Icarcely fir our, when they were furpriled ire
Munich by the intelligence, that the Aultrian army
%ere pup; ing to croft the 411. • 'A; 14091' aotq

eafilp perceived that the Aufirian Generals were de-
termined to put it out of his power quietly to delibe
rate upon the propofitions made to him, and that
they haflened at the very commencement of oegoci.
ations to make fore of the Bavarian troops, and per-
haps of the perfon of the Regent tamfelf.
As to what concerns the troops, the Lieutenant
Field Marfbal Mack affected no difguife, and confef-
fed to a Bavarian Officer, that, in confideration of
the hopes which had been held out to the Prince of
Schwarzenherg, he had countermanded the forced
march of the dtvifion of General Klemm, which was
deffined to furprize Neuburgh, in order to cat of
the retreat of the Eletaoral troops. The moment was
now arrived when the Eleetor of Bavaria, who had
hitherto lent implicit confidence to the friendly afar.
antes of the Imperial Envoy, fhould adopt a prompt
and Ready refolution to preferve his honour and in-
dependence. Without the fmalleft hoßile view, but
in order to maintain his neutrality, the Court of Mu-
nich endeavoured to gain time, and to conceal the
meafures to which it had recourfe, under the pref.
litre of the moment, from Prince Schwarzenberg.—
When a with was expreffed further to treat with this
General, who had in fo commanding a tone required
an aufwer in 24 hours, the Elector and his Minifter
found out with allonifhment that he was provided
with no powers, and that before coming to any con-
clufion Field Martha Mack mutt be confulted. The
interview for which this General and Prince Schwar-
zenberg had propofed the 9th of September, was
agreed to, and in the mean time the Auftrian troops
actually entered Bavaria. With their &ft Reps they
made heavy requifitions, demanded the adminittra-
tion of the country to be placed in their hands, and
began t 3 force their paper money into circulation at
its nominal value, while in their own land it bad
fallen to a difcount of more than 30 per cent. in ex-
change for fpecie. In fuch circumttances an alliance
fhould be concluded, Ripulating the reform and in-
corporation of the Bavarian army.
In the night between the Bth and 9th of Septem-
ber, order► were given for the march of the Elettoral
troops. The Elector and his Minifters withdrew from
further vexations, quitted the capital, and betook
themfelves to the Franconian provinces.—Notwith-
Itanding the violent proceedings taken again[ the
Elector, his perfonal confidence in his Majefty the
Emperor, and even in Field Marfhal Mack, was not
diminithed. The Electoral Lieutenant Colonel Ri-
baupierre wis difpatched to an appointed interview
at Haag, as he was the perfon bell qualified to give
the Imperial gnarter-Mager the molt accurate in-
formation refpcding the Rate-of the Bavarian army.
He was commiffioned to reprefent that the union of-
the Bavarian troops could not be affented to as a pre-
liminary, but mutt be the refult of previous negotia-
tion ; and particularly to declare, that his Elettloral
Highnefs would never content to the ditbanding of
his troops, and would rather perifh than fubmit to it.
He remarked to Field Marthal Mack, that the Bava-
rian troops had orders to fire on whatever troops
thould attempt to difarm them. The Prince of
Schwarzeuberg propofed to flop the march of the
troops till a courier was difpatched to Vienna to
fetch new inaruCtions. Colonel Ribaupierre was
difpofed to accede to this propofal, but Field Martha!
Mack infifted on the Bavarian troops remaining where
they were, while the Ault tians thould be permitted
to advance. The .Bavarian Officer could not agent
to filch conditions ; and here the negotiations were
broken off.

As the Ault rian army were now advancing towards
the Inn, the Bavarian troops, which were fcattered
up and down in ifolated garrifons, made their retreat
on all quarters, in order not to come in contaa with
the army that was palling. They croffed the Danube,
and went into cantonments in the Upper Palatinate.
In order that the communications with the Comman-
der of the Auftrian army might not be ensbarraffed
or retarded by the Court having changed its place of
refidence, the Eleaor appointed, for the purpofe of
entertaining thofe relations, his Minifter at the Courts
of Vienna and Sallbnrg, Baron Gravenreuth, who
happened then to be at Munich, thereby thinking to
give a new proof of his earneft with to preferve a
friendly and good underftanding. This Minilier, on
the 13th, fent his brother, a Captain on the Eleaoral
Staff, and formerly attached to the million at Vienna,
to Field Marlhal Mack, to Munich, with a letter, in
whicn, appealing to the Often) of neutrality they had
adopted, he begged to be informed of the particular
track of country through which the Imperial troops
were to pafs, and what potations the Eleftoral troops
might take, in order.that the Imperial army might
meet with no impediment on its march, and all cm-
canon for coliilion be avoided. Field Marital Mack
in his anfwer, contented himfelf with referring to
what he had expreffed in words to Captain Graven-
reuth, namely, " that the Emperor would never
confent to Bavaria remaining neutral, or to the Ba-
varian troops as as allies in a dillina corps."—
The Field Marfhal,in his converfation, entered into
a long detail, commencing with the million of M.
Novozilzoff, and terminating with the transfer of the
Auftrian bead-quarters to Munich, and explained the
neceffity of the rapid progrefs made into Bavaria, by
the necelllty of keeping near it the preparations for
an attack on France.

He rejeaed every propofition for a line of demar-
cation, which he faid would not be obferved by the
Ruffian army, which was already drawing near; de-
clared, that the Bavarian troops, if they were not
incorporated with the Außrians, would be no where
fecure, not even in the Franconian Provinces, and
that he would follow them wherever they went,
allowing no confideration to flop him. The General
fignified that he was empowered to treat Bavaria in
a hoßile manner, but that he Rill enttrt.iined hopes of
matters being fettled with friendthip and cordiality.
While the Minifter GRAVENRIR/TH gave intimation
of thefe declarations to his Eleaoral Highnefs, and
alked for further orders, one account followed another
from the officers employed in the civil adminiftration
of the country, of the condua of the Außrian army.
Provifions and forage were every where driven away
without being paid for, and by the receipts, feveral
millions were added to the unacquitted obligations of
the 1411 war.

The fubjeas of the Eleaor were obliged to furnint
bodes for the Auttrian officers who were travelling
poft ; hones wete taken from carriage, on the road,
for the pnrpofes of draught ;confiderable requifitions
were made of bodes, which were feized upon by ex-
ecution. The Bavarian peafente were forced to drive
the 'waggons. The Bavarian foldiers who were ab•
fps op leave, and Pax Isyruitep a►prt forbiddat tar

join their regiments, tinder pain of the lots of pro-'
petty. The land was inundated with Notes of the
Bank of Vienna, which were forced into circulation
at their nominal value, and the ihop-keepers and
trades peoples who refuted to take them. were threat-
ened with a feizure of their goods. The comman-
ders of towns, and the Commitfaries of the army.
adopted meafures which Teemed an introduttion to a
formal aro:option of the adminiftration of the coun-
try. At tall the Commiffaries of the army extended
their jurifdidion to that part of the country of which
they were not in poffeffion; and on the 16th and 17th
of September fent, under orders of Field Martha
Mack, general directions to the Eledoral Civil Com-
miffaries at Amberg, at that time the Ration of the
bead quarters of the Bavarian troops.
By thefe diredions the taxes, cotton's and revenues
of every kind, were to be colleded into a theft. on
the hate of which notice was to be given every eight
days to the Commiffaries of the Imperial armies,
without whore inftrudions, not the [mall& fum
fhould be paid, with the exception of a few current
falaries and penfions, and that in all the Public
Offices the Vienna Bank Notes fhould be taken at
their nominal value. By another order they were
commanded to fearch for, and deliver up the Aut
trian deferters. The Eledoral Civil Commiffaries in
Amberg fent back there orders, with a notification,
that they could receive ;amnions only from his
Electoral Highnefs. The Minider Gravenreuth,
however, rernonftrated again& thefe meafures of the
military Commitfaries, and on the 29th of September
difpatched a Staff Officer to the Anttrian head quar-
ters. The Archduke Ferdinand, who, in the mean
time, had affnmed the command of the army, figni-
fied his convidion that the Military Commitfaries had
gone beyond their inftruitions, appeared to difapprove
of their conduct, and promifed to communicate an
anfwer in four or five days. As the Auftrian troops
were new advancing, both out of Bohemia, and alto
by the way of Rain and Newburgh, into the Upper
Palatinate, the Bavarian troops found themfelves
obliged to retreat, and to withdraw into Franconia.
On the 29th of September the anfwer of the Arch-
duke Ferdinand arrived in Bamberg, in which he
referred to the Auftrian Minifter, who was then in
Wurtzbnrgh.
This Minifter, notwithftanding all that bad taken
place, had made no ceremony in repairing to the
Court at Wurtzburgh. In an audience granted him,
he delivered to the -Eledor a letter from the band of
the Emperor, in which his Majefty inlifted on his fiat
propofitions, and defied the union of the troops.—
This Minifter afterwards declared, that he was vetted
with full power to conclude an alliance with Bavaria.
Propofit ions were brought forward fo widely different
from the fyftem that had been obferved by Auftria
for a century pat, that their fineerity could not
poffibly obtain belief. Overtures were renewed to
him, the principal of which were to recognife the
neutrality of the Elector. He did not abfolutely
rejea the propofition, but declared, in the mod pre-
eife terms, that the Emperor of Auftria would never
content to an armed neutrality. His Majefty, be
Paid. might perhaps content to a neutrality, and
even agree that a certain circle in the neighbourhood
of Munich timid never be occupied by AfitHan
troops, provided the Eledor would previoufly
content to ditband his army. Such a propofition
neceffarily revolted the Elector and his Minifters. In
order, however, to avoid the (lighten reproach of
having abi uptly broken off a negociation by which,
perhaps, the Elector might have been placed in a Infl-
ation to preferve his neutrality, thefe infulting de-
mands met only a cool reply. The Imperial Mini
tier proceeded, that if the Eledor made a difficulty
in the general dilbanding of his army, the Emperor
would be contented with the ditbanding of only the
Bavarian and Suabian troops, permitting him to re-
tain the Franconians. _ _

The Minifter of Foreign Affairs rejected a condi-
tion fo humiliating for the Franconians. The Auf-
trian Envoy declared, that betides the Franconian'
troops, the Suabians might alto be retained, if the
Elector would content to chfband the Bavarians.—
Without this expreis condition, however, no neutra-
lity Could be thought of. How could he Auftrian
Miniller propofe a meafure by which a difference was
fuppofed between the Electoral troops at once to in-
jurious and infulting ? His Eleaoral Highnefs, and
the whole nation, are convinced that the fame fideli-
ty, and the fame courage pervade the whole army,
and know no difference. The Elector cannot better
prove this than by intrufting the defence of the coun-
try to the Bavarian and Stickman troops, while he de-
livers up his perfon and family to the protection of
thofe of Franconia. The Minifter of the Emperor
and King further declared, that if the Elector remain-
ed armed, his Imperial Majesty would not even on
that account treat him as an enemy, but that this
meafure muft neceffarily infpire a juft diftruft, and
that his Majcfty would in this cafe feel himfelf oblig-
ed to ad as circumfiances might require. It was re-
marked that this expreffion was extremely undefined
and might be explained in any way !lilting the
occafion. The reply was, that the Minders of.
the Elector made no propofition to him, while
he was empowered to difeufs every condition which
was compatible with the difarming of the Bavarian
troops. On this new overture there was nothing
further to be faid. The honour and the indepen-
dence of the Sovereign could not permit that the dif-
banding of the Electoral Bavarian troops fhould be
fixed as the bafis of any negociation. The Auftrian
Minifter was now aware that his propofitions were
not, and could not be attended to, and that his nego-
ciation had entirely failed of fuccefs. He began,
therefore, to complain of the approach of the French
troops ; he gave it to be underllood too, that be did
not feel himfelf in his proper place, and that, if no
other propofition was made to him, he would return
to the Auftrian head quarters. In fad, the Court
learned, that on the 27th of September, at three
o'clock in the afternoons he bad taken his departure
from Wurtzburgh, -
Thus ended tfie negnciation which Auftria wiffied
to enter upon, after it had overrun the land of a
peaceable neighbour with a numerous army. This
faithful reprefentation, puts every man in a fituation
to judge of the intentions of 4uftria refpeding Ba-
varia, and even to pronounce, that there was nothing
left to the Mellor of Bavaria, but to throw himfelf
on the protection of the Emperor of France, againfi
demands, infulting at once to his army and the na-
tion. Confidence in GOD, in a generous Ally, in a
brave army, and a faithful nation, infpires courage in i

PARIS, OCTOBER to.

The Swots* Ceifthwrt, confirming the union of Gr.
noa with the French empire, will not be publifhed
until it bas been pretested to the Emperor, and or-
dered to be promulgated by his Majetty. From the
fame retina to decorum, the addrefs agreed to on the
a7th, by the Tribunate, on the fubjed of the war.
continues to be kept fecret. This addrefs will be
prefented to his Majelly in the midi} of his army.
All the meafures neceffary to complete the war
eßablithment of the French army, are carried on with
uncommon aOivity. The operations of the levy of
Cro,ooo young men, for the Military Cunfcription of
the 14. th year, which, according to the Imperial
Decree of the Bth Frudidor, were not to commence
till the 13th intl. have been accelerated to fuch
degree, 6:4 in feveral departments they are already
completed. This levy, voted by the Legiflative
Body, in the Ceara of the 13th year, leaves at tho
dilpofal of Government the whole of the additional
reinforcement of 80,000 confcripts, recently ordered
to be raifcd for the fervice of t 806, by a decree of
the Senate, and who arc to be drawn from a differ-
ent data of the young men fubjett to the confcrip.
lion. At the fame time that the confcripts of the
toth year are about to join the army of referee. they
are already preceded by the confcripts of referve for
the anterior years, who are now called into aaivo
fervice. Betides, there are fent off to the frontiers
all the old fub-officers and foldiers, who, in confe.
quence of the invitation addreffed to them, have re.
folved to re-enter the military career. The Govern-
ment is alto occupied in the formation of a new Corps
d'E kw. Finally, the Prefeas have in all the depart-
mcnts opened regißers for entering the names of tuck
young men, belonging to the Guards of Honour
already formed for the Emperor, or any others, ass
without being liable to terve by law, are willing to
equip themfeves as horfemen at their own expence,
and to do duty about the perfon of the Emperor
while with the army. This meafure has been adop-
ted in every part of the country, in confequence of a
circular letter from the Moltke of the Interior.
[VIOK THE VONITEUR.]
WETELAIN OCT. r.—From the rapid,
i immenre.
and fudden military difpolitions of the oufe of Auf
tria, there is not a man in Europe but muff have
concluded that the was affured of finding, either in
her own raving', or in her alliances, refources pro-
portioned to the dangers and demands of the War,
upon which the was about to enter. The proclama-
tions of the 18th and aoth of September, are very
ranch at variance with thefe indications. The &ft
is a circular addrefs to the fobjeds of the Houk of
Maria, in which they are folicited, in the mot or.
gent manner, to fora& voluntary fupplies for the
wants of the Imperial armies. All the gratuitous
contributions which the loyal and unreferved attach.
went of fubjeas for their Sovereign can aff 'rd, will
be thankfully received. A fpecral commifGon, and
the pad& curates, are authorized to receive any
quantities of lint, linen for bandages, &c. which they
(hall be pleated to offer f I the fervice of the hotpi-
tals.—The fecond proclamation is an exh-rtation to
the inhabitants of Außria to be punctual in the pay.
Tom of the impas. His Majefty declares, that he
relies on the zeal and co-operation of his fubjeas.—
He informs them that he has made a common caufe
with Ruflia; and he concludes his proclamation with
a requiGtion in kind, the repartition of which omits
nothing which can determine the places which are to
contribute, or afcertain the articles which are to be
gratuitoufly furnifhed by all the inhabitants of tho
hereditary Rates of the Houfe of Anfiria.

The Emperor }lamas has left his army, in order
to open the aftembly of the Hungarian States. The
objea of this SeiEon is worthy of the folemnity which
is to be conferred upon it. In the firft inftance there
will be a demand made of thirty thoufand recruits.
In the next place will be demanded a levy in malt
organized into regiments, and it will be defired that
this new force fhould be rendered difpofable, fo as to
be employed upon any (mice. Every application
of this kind, however (mall the number may be, is
contrary to the privileges, the opinions, and the man-
ner; of the Hungarian nation. Accordingly, a fimi.
lar experiment was made in vain, in the year

gary ; it is alfo intended to try it in Bohemia, Mo-
ravia. and Auftria.

Were the Hoofs of Autlria taken by furprife by an
invafion, fuch as thole which took place in Europe
fourteen hundred years ago, his proclamations might
appear rational, and its alarms plaufihle ; but what
than be laid of the policy of a Power which provokes
a war ; which draws into the heart of its territory an
enemy occupied at a distance, and upon other de-
figns ; who menaces the greatelt powers; and who,
on the morrow of a voluntary and molt heechefs
ig-
grefion, teems, for the first time, to perceive the ex-
tent of her danger, fete up a cry of alarm, and finds
no other remedy for the calamities of her fituation,
than that of converting the produds of her foil into
military flora, of turning her provinces into many
camps, and enrolling all her fubjeas as foldiers ?
Sound policy infpire fear and confidence in due time;
fear ferves to prevent the apprehended milchief, and
confidence enables one to do every thing, calmly and
colletledly, which may be necefiltry to repel it. The
Court of Vienna might have concluded, that a war
undertaken, without motive, without objea, and
without neceffity, was not a very good recommenda-
tion for the purpofe of procuring from her people fa-
erifices unlimited in extent or duration. At this tigie
of day, the timid confider, that in proclaiming her
diftrefs, the affords but a poor jultification for having
herfelf been the caufe of it ; and further, that the
will not fucceed in infpiring her fubjttls atilt code
Renee, by manifefting, at the very outlet of the wart
the fame degree of embarratfinent and alarm, which
ufnally break forth towards the termination of an un-
fortunate coma, and in confequence of the Mat
difitarous defeats,
STIII.OOIIO H. OCT. `.—!'roue the other Gds of tke
Rhine we have received the important intelligence,
that feveral columns of the Grand Army have ad-
vanced as far as Ulm ; and fonve private letters go fo
far as to Nate that our troops were already in pof-
fetfion of that city, which mutt have been evacuated
by the Aufirians.
The report of to-day is, that Metric TILL 'mom
and M*ttar will not repair to the army, but that they
will pafs, at late, a part of the winter in this city,.

A part of the houlchold effahlifliment of Count
COBENTZ FL, the Auftrian Ambuffador at Paris, have
paired thrt,ugh this city, for Vienna. The Ambaf-
Lido( himfelf ill. we are affnred, arrive here in the
courfe of a few days.

AUGS CURGH, Ocr. t.—The pang of the Rhine
by the French army feems to have very much derang-
ed the calculations of the Auflrians. Their Generals,
fince they have been apprifed r f that event, hold daily
conferences, and do not appear to know well what
meafures they &mid adopt. The Archduke FERD!•
NAND, who is at the head of the army, does nothing
of himfelf ; and General MACK, who direets the ope-
rations, fends one courier after another to Vienna to
demand infirurlions. He is one day at Memmingen,
the next at Ulm, and the third on the oppofite hank
of the Danube. It is obvious that he is not without
con fiderable apprehenfinns, and that he dreads an at-
tack on the part of the French army. Several cou-
riers have been fent to the Ruffian army in Moravia,
to pre General kuvusow, in the molt urgent man-
ner, to accelerate the march of his army. The only
provilional me fore hitherto adopted is that of de•
taching a con fiderable reinforcement to the Austrian
army on the lift of the Danube. Several regiments
have left the right bank of the Tiler, in order to rcpafs
the Lech and proceed to the Upper Palatinate ; that
province, which is at prefent occupied by the Auf-
trians, being menaced by the advance of the French
in Franconia. _ _ _

We have kill received intelligence that feveral re-
giments of troops from the frontiers are 'rave:ling
Upper Auftria ; and advancing, by forced marches,
to the Lech. he regiments of Peterwaradin and
Bood are exile led to reach that river on the 9th :
thole of the Bannat and the Illyrian villages on the
seth • and the firft and fecond Wallacbian regiment
on the 16th.

According to the a d vices from theTyrolefe, 23,000
men are encamped near Trent.
The garrifons of Fiume, Rara, Porto, and Ree,
have been conveyed by lea to Venice. They have
been replaced by Ruffian troops from Corfu.
SOLEURE, SEPT. 30.—1 n the fitting of the Extra-
ordinary Diet on the 25th, the Landamman prefented
a ri.iiort reipeCting the million of his brother. Col.
Gcurz, to the Imperial Court of Auftria. Colonel
Gauiz had returned from Vienna the preceding
evening, and brought with him a letter from the
Auftrian Monarch tor the Helvetic Chief Magistrate.
This letter gives an alturance of the intereft which his
Majefty took, and always had taken, in the happinefs
of Switzerland, and confeque ntl) slated his readinefs
to recognife, in the most folemn manner, the nenti ality
of the Cantons, as loon as the French Government
should have officially recognized it on it part. In
confequence of this report, the Diet refolved to fend
a Deputation to the Emperor of the French, at
Strafburgh, to make irritable reprefentations to him
on the fubjed. This important miffion was confided
to the late Landamman, d'Arrar, who let out as
loon as he received his initruit;ons. The Diet Then
appointed ten Colonels to ferve under the Commander
in Chief, and ordered a fecond contribution for the
fubliftence of the army. The objea of the
Extraordinary Convocation of the Diet being thus
accomplilhed, that Affembly was diffolved the day
before yefterday.
M. de Wary Eviccr, the Commander in Chief of
the Federal army, efiablithed his bead.quarters at-
Zurich on the 27th; and he has fince detached a
battalion of Soo men to Schaffhaufen, under tbit
command of Colonel HOLZBACH, in order to protect
the frontiers in that quarter.
VIEPINA, OCT. 2.—The Ruffian troops, who are
conveying in 3000 waggons, are expected to reach
Brannan on the loth, whence they will continue their
route for Dachau, three leagues weft of Munich.—
The firft column will reach °cuing, Haag, and Parr-
dorf on the 16th ; the fecond will arrive on the ath,
the third on the aoth, the fourth on the 22d, and the
fifth on the 24th. This army confias of forty-four
battalions, all picked infantry.
