cited most interest and speculation, was the mission

army of the Rhine. It is stated that he was em-
powered to announce to tlie French Commander,
that the assembling of a French army in Gerniany
would be considered by the Austrian Government ins
a measure of hostility against her, and as a declara-
tion of war.
