FRANKFORT, APRIL 12.

After the Austrians had declared hostilities on the
9th instant, they are said to have crossed the Inn near
Passau, SchaYcling, and Brannau.
APRIL 13.—We are assured by the Swiss Journals
that the three Prussian fortresses occupied by the
French troops will be immediately garrisoned by
Russians. They add, that a Russian army will
unite with the French, Polish, and Prussian troops in
an attack upon the Austrian territories on the side of
Switzerland.
There is a considerable French force on the Adige,
and at Udina, in the Frioul.

The Flag of Truce which sailed from Dover on
Friday morning, returned the same evening, and
brought back the dispatches she carried, as the French
Oflicer who came off to her would not suffer them to
be taken out, but put a small packet on board and
ordered the vessel to return.

French and Dutch Papers, the former to the 20thi
the latter to the 21th ult. also private letters from
Holland of a still later date, have arrived since our
last. The master of the vessel, which brought the
letters, hurried to sea, understanding that an Em-
bargo had taken place in some of the ports of Hol-
land, which was expected to become general, and to
be extended to those of France. A rumour was ge-
neral, of a battle having been fought in Bavaria, in
which the Austrians had the advantage. It was also
reported that BosArA rE was much indisposed at
Strasburg!). The printed journals are quite barren
of intelligence.

We have also received German papers to the 23d
ult. the contents of which are of importance. They
represent the Austrians as every where in motion.
They are not only pursuing the French through Ba-
vatia, but the Archduke FERDINAND is said to have
penetrated from Bohemia into the Upper Palatinate,
while it is certain that other Austrian divisions have
marched into the North and South of the Tyrol. by
the route's of St. Johanna and Pustaithal. The ene-
my's army in Bavaria rapidly fell back in three divi-
sions on the approach of the Austrians, who imme-
diately possessed themselves of Passau, Straubing,
Landshut, &c. The enemy have fallen back upon
the Lech, and in the event of the Austrians attemp-
ting to pass that river, Marshal LEFZI3VRE, who
commands the united French and Bavarian army,
was expected to give them battle. The co-operating
army of Marshal DAVOUST has concentrated itself in
the environs of Donauwerth, Ingolstadt, and Eich,
stadt, and is said to consist'of about 70,000 men.
Ten thousand French troops under General ST. HIL-
LAIRE have entered Ratisbon.

The King of BAVARIA has sequestrated the pro-
perty of all Austrian subjects, which may happen to
be within his dominions.

CENz, the celebrated political waiter, and FREDE-
RICK SCHLOGEL, another German author, follow the
Austrian army, probably to assist in composing the
Austrian proclamations and appeals to the people.
Of these we have received two which we shall subjoin
—the one a Proclamation by the Eniperor FRANCIS
on his setting out to join the army, and which may
be considered as a formal aeclaration of war-the
other an Address of the Archduke CHAptEs to the
German Nation, both well calculated to-rouse the in.
