JUNCTION OF BAVARIA WITH THE
ALLIES.
ADVANCE OF THE FRENCH TOWARDS
BERLIN. •
A Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night with the
above important intelligence, and it was immediately
announced by Ministers in the following official
manner

“FSMEION OFFICE, OCTOBER as.

44 The Hon. ROBERT GORDON arrived this night
with dispatches from the Earl of AaespsE•, dated
Commatau, October 12, which state, that a Treaty
of Alliance and Concert between Austria and Ba.
varia was signed by Prince Rauss and Gen• Wait%
on the Bth inst. General WRRDE, with 35,000 Ba-
varian troops, is immediately to co-operate with those
of Austria. He was already in movement, and was
to have 25,000 Austrians under his command.

" Mr. GORDON passed through Berlin on the 10th,
at which time General TAUSNZIONp with 12,000 men,
had fallen back to cover the capital, the enemy having
pushed a corps across the Elbe at Wittenberg. On
the evening of the Pith, the French had not ap•
poached Berlin ; for the defence of which city, forty
thousand men, including General TALIZNZEDA tow,
had been assembled."

A Letter•from Harwich, of yesterday's date, re-
ceived this morning, states as follows :
• The Lord Duncan, Captain HAN:it:row, arrived
this morning from Gottenburgh, bringing the Hon.
Mr. GORDON, brother to the Earl of Asattovai, who
is said to be the bearer of the Treaty between Bavaiia
and Austria, so that the accession of that -power to
the good cause is no longer doubtful. No battle had
taken 'lace, although the Allies had compleated
their cordon round BeNAPARTX and his army; much
uneasiness was occasioned at Gottenburgh, ou account
of May's division having given them the slip, and
'passed 'to the right-Of *the Elbe, and many gl owY
reports were in circulation in consequence ; but %,

ots her passage., and landed her Mails at Aldborottgb
this rootsiug. There remained but one packet at
Gottenbargh, and there have been none at Heligdl4nd
for this week

past.-
A letter from Gottenbargh, dated October 22, says,
". By'the last accounts received from head:quarters,
a general engagement was ezpected to take pl•+ce.on
the 13th or 14th inst.; at the very latest a battle must
have been fought on the 16th or 16th. The CROWN
Papices head-quarters were at —, his army at
Halle, Chemnitz, and Gros-Kugel. The Austrians, as
Well as the Russians and Bavarians, bad joined him.
The sleety with Bavaria was signed on the Bth inst."

• For the events above alluded to, we were fully pre-
pared : the junction of the Bavarian Army with that
of the Austrians recently opposed to it, will enable
the Allies to overwhelm BEAUHARVOIS in Italy, and
a few days will inform us whether the Italians them- I
selves are disposed any longer to fight merely to gra- ,
tify the personal ambition of the man who claims
the honour of giving them a country." BEAU-
mams might have with truth added, that Italy
was not given up to its lawful possessors until it was
stripped of every thing which could make it valuable
to them. But ingratitude is now the order of the
day with all those on whom BONAPAR?a has con-
ferred favours, and like other bad examples, it will
be adopted because it is the fashion. The defection
of Bavaria must have been known at Paris many
days ago-.-it no doubt accelerated the depression in
the French funds, which we have recently no-
ticed. Indeed all the private accounts from that ca.
vital state, that at no period was gloom and discon-
tent more prevalent, and the utmost degree of em-
barrassment is said to prevail in all the departments!
of ►state for the want of money to supply even the
ordinary expences of the Government.
A loan of from 5 to 600 millions of franks has
been required, but we have not heard that a single
sons has been procured. It was proposed to reim-
bttrse the lenders by bonds secured on the revenues
of the succeeding years resulting from the Custom-
honse duties and general taxes. This is something
like calling out the Conscription two years in ad-
vante—it is eating the corn while in the ear with a
'vengeance 1
With respect to the threat against Berlin, alluded
to in the Bulletin, we see no cause for alarm. The
cusps tent against it if that of Marshal NET only ;
acid his whole force, according to former accounts,

did not exceed 26,000 men. General TAUENZIEN

/las 16,000 regular troops under him, and has con-
tedrated upon the Prussian capital, aided by 40,000
troops, who, we presume, must mean the Landwher,
err Lanasturm.
In the mean time, it cannot be denied, that unless
the main French army, under BONAPARTE in person,
is crippled by some general engagement, the detached
corps d'artnee under NEY will be in full communica-
tion with his master ; and the demonstration upon
Berlin will probably be kept up, with a view to tempt
the CROWN PRINCE to detach his army from the grand
sithstit drrawn around Leipsic.
The recent movements of the Allies seem to have
been made, upon the conviction that Bowavanre
would force his -way to the French frontiers at all
risks, and they therefore prepared to join issue with
MR on the Saale and Mulda. He has; however, de-
clined the challenge, and loiters upon the Elbe with
the view, as it would seem, of forcing his opponents
once more to break up from their favourite ground.
He thinks it gives them too many chances.

Letters brought by a vessel arrived at Holyhead,
dated New York, the th September, were received
in town this morning. They do not contain any po-
litical news.

Yesterday at two o'clock, a Cabinct Council was
held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by
all the Cabinet Ministcrs, except the Loan CHAN-
CELLOR. The Earl ot WENTIIOII.ELAND was present
for the first time since he came to Town. The Coun-
cil broke tip at half-past four.
After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, bn
Tuesday, Major SYDENIIANI had an interview with
,Lord Viscount CASTLERFAGEI, and received his final
instructions for his mission to Germany, and left
Town soon after to proceed on his journey. Yester-
day letters were received in Town, from the Major,
dated at Harwich. _ _

THE ARMY.
Yesterday Sir THOMAS GRAHAM transacted busi-
ness with the COMMANDER in Cunt, at his Office at
the Horse Guards.

In consequence of the augmentation of two troops
to each Hussar Regiment, the 15th Light Dragoons
has at piesent two vacant Lieutenantcies without pur-
chase, and not a Cornet in the regiment to receive
the promotion.
We understand a large quantity of Congreve
rockets have been lately forwarded to Lord Wu.-
movoles army in Spain.
The men belonging to the British Militia who re-
fuse to accompany their respective Corps to Ireland,
are formed into a separate battalion, for duty at
Sheerness.
Sir JOHN Luicmaa had a most severe fall with his
horse, while exercising his fine regiment of Yeomanry
in Tabley Park last week, but we are happy to `find
no bad consequences are likely to ensue.

STEEPLE CHASE.—On Wednesday se'nnight an ex-
cellent Steeple Chase was run by the Members of the
Armagh Hunt, for a silver cup, value £5O. The
ground was admirably well chosen. The course was
visible in its whole extent from all the surrounding
bills, and presented to the eye a perfect anphitheatre
at one mile and a half in circumference. The com-
petitors galloped round this circle twice, crossing the
river Callen four times during the progress of the
chase. At a particular pan of the course they had
to bound over a five bar gate into the waters of the
Callen; into which man and horse were seen to de-
scend, and dash through the foamy surface like river
gods and tritons.—Mr. Wit. It44DONNELLI the victor,
rode the celebrated bay horse Dick, belonging to
LAUNCELLOT Hal., Esq.
At craising the five-bar gate, Mr. M4CAFFRAT'S
horse struck the timber with his feet, and rolled with
his rider into the river Callen. His descent through the
water resembled the gambols of a porpoise sporting
in the waves, with a young one on his back. Ano-
ther competitor for equestrian fame was precipitated
into the water and dismounted. The horse, in his
struggles, had got his legs entangled about his ma-
ster's neck, who was in much danger of undergoing
suffocation by his Hounkrlsm embrace. Fortunately
the spectators arrived in time to rescue him.
After the sports of the day, the Members of the
Armagh Hunt, &c. dined together. Thirty-nine
bumper toasts were drank in the course of the enter-
tainment.
The Duke of GRAFTOn'S horse Antonio is matched
against Major WaTson's Pericles, at the next New-
market Craven Meeting, for 100 guineas ; as is Lord
SUFFILLEis Selim against Major Vinson's Walton.
Several matches have already been made for the
Craven Meetings of 1815, among which are the fol-
Lowing :
Sir 3. SaELLIT'S 1. by Sorcerer or Waxy, 81t. 711'. apt Mr.

A few days since, a grey mare belonging to Mr.
FoKass, of Culloden, in Scotland, while crossing the
ferry of Kessock, leaped out of the boat on its get-
ting to the opposite side, and having directed her
course about a mile and a half eastward, she plunged
into the sea at the mill of Kilmuir, swam across the
Frith, and came ashore below Culloden, being a dis-
tance of about three miles, without sustaining the
smallest injury. The mare is 18 years old.

Had Rainer won his celebrated match of 100 miles,
in 18 hours, he should have been no longer called
Rainer, but. Rein-deer !
Bank-notes to the amount of 10s. each, so long
talked of, it is said, are to be issued for circulation
very speedily.
Private letters from Paris represent that the distress
amongst the merchants was not exceeded even in the
year 1799. Merchants of the first credit and conse-
quence had stopped payment; and, notwithstanding
so mach had been said of the great quantity of gold
is France, the Bank at Paris would pay no drafts
upon it in Napoleons. Silver was to be obtained in
payment, but the coin was se small in value, that it
required some hours to count as much as would dis-
charge a bill of £lOOO. The merchants had with-
drawn all confidence from each other, and in CORM+
quence of the expecsed loan of twenty-five millions
sterling, not a man would confess to have a Napoleon
more than was necessary for his immediate use.

All the private letters received from the British Mi-
nisters resident at the head-quarters of the allied Sove-
reigns, concur in representing the Emperor ALexam-
DEK as the very soul of the Confederacy. To him they
ascribe the merit of having fixed the wavering irresolu-
tion of the Emperor Fitallos, and of having prevailed
on him unalterably to deviate in favourof the Common
Cause. As soon as the damages and losses were re-
paired which the allied army had sustained in the un-
fortunate attack upon Dresden, councils of war were
frequently held to deliberate on the propriety of again,
advancing and hazarding a second attempt. It was
generally decided in the negative : the chief reason
assigned for the decision being the numerical inferio-
rity of the allied force to that of the enemy. It was
on one of these occasions that the Emperor ALEXAN
DER observed, that if there was no other objection it
should be quickly removed, and he instantly wrote
out the order for BENNIGSEN to advance. Ministers,
no doubt, are highly sensible of this alacrity on the
part of his Imperial Majesty, and they endeavour to
make the best, the only return in their power for it.
Of the 5e900,000 that was to be advanced to Russia,
within a stipulated time, the last payment was made
on Friday last, in a Bill of Exchange for £150,000.
