FRONTIERS OF BAVARIA, APRIL 13,

The Austrians, commanded by the Archduke
Charles, crossed the Lavarian frontiers in the night
between the 9th and 10th instant, near Altheim,
Brauna, and Risclienhall ; their army is numerous,
and the Bavarian troops, whom they far exceed in
numbers, have fallen back. The Prince Royal ar-
rived last night is Munich with the division of the
centre. General Dervi has retreated with his divi-
sion, which forms the right wing, to Schongau ; and
General Wrede, with the left wing, to Neuhurgh, on
the Danube. The Austrians have occupied Passau,
Stratibing, Landshut, &c. All foreign Ministers have
left Munich.

BANKS OF THE LECH, APRIL 19.

The Royal Bavarian army had orders, as soon as
the Austrians should attempt the invasion of Bavaria,
to fall back to the Lech. This retrograde movement
has been made with the utmost order, and no action
with the Austrians has hitherto taken place. The
Duke of Dantzic (Marshal Lefebvre) is with the
first Bavarian division, which has taken up a position
between Freysingen and Darhau. Should the Aus-
trians attempt to cross th. 2 Lech, a decisive battle is
likely to take place in the vicinity of Augsburgh, the
result of which, considering. the known gallantry of
the French troops and of their allies, cannot be
doubtful.
The army of the Duke of Anerstadt (Marshal Da-
voust) has concentrated itself in the environs of
Donauwetth, Ingolstadt, and Eichstadt ; it is corn-
posed of about 70,000 choice troops, 2.0,000 of whom
are cavalry.
The Archduke Ferdinand is said to have pene-
trated with an Austrian army from Bohemia into the
upper Palatinate ; but this piece of intelligence stands
in need of confirmation. But on t:ie other hand it is
certain, that au
Austrian corps has marched into the
North of Tyrol by St. Johann, and another by the
Pustalth4 into the Southern part of that country.
Some peasants who have excited disturbances will
soon meet condign punishment.

AUCISBURGH, APRIL 30.
The second division of the Bavarian army ie sta.'
tioned from Straubing to Passau, and extends from
Cham and Ragen to Landshut.—The Grand Duke
of Baden's troops are already in the neighbourhood
of this city.—Fron, Ulm 1800 Frenchmen belonging
to different regiments arrived on the Bth instant, and
they are quartered partly in this city and some in the
villages.—A great field-bakery of 20 ovens is now
established here, and must furnish 200,000 rations of
biscuits.—Every one of our bakers that keeps two
journeymen must furnish one.—The transports of ar-
tillery, bullets, and other warlike stores from the
arsenal at Munich to Augsburg continues without in-
termission. Yesterday there arrived again 100 wag-
gons full of these requisites.

NUREMBURGH, APRIL 10.
By the reports made by travellers, a strong Aus-
trian corps is on its march against the valley called
Pustalhal, in Tyrol.

APRIL 11.—The 9:11 of April will become a re.
markable day in history, by its consequences. On
that day (Sunday), the Austrians along the frontiers
at Bohemia, as far as Italy, declared, that the peace
that had hitherto subsisted was at an end, and that
hostilities would begin. Th;s declaration of war was
made from Egra, by General Cousts VON BELLE-
GARDE to the French General FRIAND, who com-
mands the troops on the frontiers of Bayreuth.
ALTONA, APRIL 17.
Some public papers state that the Ruisiin Mintsies—
Count RoiiANzow immediately on his arrival on the
13th instant, at St. Petersburgh, being waited upon
by the principal merchants partly to congratulate
him on his arrival, and partly to know what was to
be expected next summer, in regard to commerce,
gave them in general the consoling assurance that
trade would certainly be flourishing, and that he had
paid particular attention to their interests.
