Dec. 23.—1 t is no konger doubtful but that the
Archduke CHARLES will fet mit from Bohemia for
the head quarters of the At4lrian army. On the
lyth of December he paired by Lintz. His firft
order was not to break down the bridges on the'
Danube at Lintz, and other places, as was begin-
ning to be done. This order gave a firß ray of a
hope of peace. Soon that hope encreafcd. It ap-
pears that in calling Prince CHARLES into action,
the Est FERO& was determined to make peace. No
doubt, upon that condition alone, has the Prince
contented to accept the command. A letter from
the head-quarters of Moaeau Pays pofitively that
propofitions of peace have been made on the part
of the EIS, Pao', and they were fuch as he did not
think it his duty to reject ; that in confequence
peace was negotiating at the camp, and that the
greeted joy prevailed there.
