FOREIGN IATELI.IGENC:E. •

PARIS, APRIL 16.
According to accounts from Franckfort hostilities
have begun, and the Archduke Charles has the chief
command of the army of Bohemia and Upper Austria.
Other accounts, however, say, that the Prince will
command no particular army, but direct the motions
of the whole Austrian force, which, however, consi-
dering the great extent of territory which it occupies,
is not very probable. The Archduke John has the
command of the troops in Carinthia and Carniela..
The Prince of Neufchatel (Berthier) left Salzburg
on the 12th with the Intendant• General and their lrau,. ,
They are gone to Ulm, and thence to Munich, where
we are assured the Emperor is every moment expected.
The Prince of Neufchatel, befdie his departure from
Strasburgh, received as express, with intelligence that
the Austrians had been repulsed ; it is added that he
immediately transmitted this information to Paris by
the telegraph. It is at least probable .that hostilities
have commenced.

According to the last accounts from Germany, no
action has yet taken place in Germany. The Austrian
army appears, after passing the Inn, to have directed
its march to Munich, by the way of Watserburs and
Landshult, which it has entered.

APRIL 18.—Since the intelligence arrived by the
telegraph, that their Majesties arrived at Strasburgh
on the 15th, at five in the morning, no other accounts
have been received from Germany than the following:
—The Archduke Charles has established his staff,and
head-quarters at Lintz, and commands in chief the
army tkich is ordered to attack Bavaria. The letter
which Prince has sent to the Gestural canmand•

• GOTTENBURGH MAIL.
STOCKHOLM, Apnu. 14.-I'he Government has this
day issued licences for every description of foreign
vessels (till Sept. 91) to trade with England as usual.
Major de la Grange, who, on the 15th of last
month, set out from this capital, to deliver to the
Prince of Ponte Corvo a letter from Count Klingcpor,
has reported that he was received by him with the
utmost kindness. The l's.lajnr has himself pursued
the journey to Paris ; but Lieutenant Heidcase has
been sent hither as a courier, with the Pruce's an-
swer, which contained the proposal of an armistice by
the Duke Regent. The Prince declared, with regard
to this proposal, that he must watt the detemination
of the Emperor ; but that being convinced of hit
friendly disposition, he has immediately ordered Ge-
neral Gratien, who commands in the Hanse Towns,
and on the coast of the Baltic, to suspend hostilities
against Sweden. M ijor de la Grange reports, also,
that the Prince has transmittLd a letter to the French
Ambassador in Petersburgh, and to the French Mi-
nister at Copenhagen, requiring them to request the
Russian and Dan ish Courts to adopt a s milar conduct.
As M. Alopeus, Russtau Lord Chamb.:rlain, was
sent by the Emperor to the Duke Regent, on a spe-
cial mission, Baron Werner Schwerin, Master of the
Horse, left town. for Peteriburgh on the 6th instant,
with his Highness's answer. This Nobleman has re-
ported from Abo, under date of the 9th, that he was
received by the Russian Commander with every mark
of distinction ; and that a detachment of Russian
troops, sent to Aland, is to march thither merely for
economical reasons.
By 4 Report made by Major General Baron Ad-
ilercreut-i, it appears, that the division of the Northern
Army, commanded by Major General Grisenberg,
on the 26th of March, surrendered by capitulation to
the Russian General Count Schwerdoff.
The following Proclamation has .been issued:
" Charles, by the Grace of GOD, Hereditary Prince of the
Swedes and Duke of Sudermanla, &c. Our favours and gra-
cious benevolence with GOD ALMIGIIrr unto you, faithful men
and servants.

The Kingdom of Sweden never was so near its destruction,
so deeply emerged in misfortunes, surroup.ded on all sides by po-
tent encmks, parted, weakened by the burthens of war, ravaged
by diseases, hunger, and want, it now was to be a prey to thr,
baulk enemies, who had already trod on Swedish ground,' aid
threatened these most ancient kingdoms with destruction and
dissolution—but DIVINE PILOVIDENCE watched our paternal
country. The Government was changed, and with it was al.s
changed the public sentiments with regard to peace and war. The
enemy's armies returned, and the nation and its capital are res-
cued from the most apparent danger. Such evident proofs of the
AtatiouTv's -protection of Sweet), such Conspicuous proofs of
the blessing on our country, has impressed our hearts with the
deepest veneration and most lively acknowledgments; and being
assured that every person who loves his country participates in
our feelingsove consider it as our duty re render to the Surazaza
Baltic, publicly, an offering of praise and thanksgiving. There-
fore it is our wi,h-heri by to order every Curate on the ensuing
Sunday publicly to real' from the pulpits this our most gracious
letter, and the thanksgiving hereunto annexed. After m hich the
r, Dern shall be sung.
