FROM THE PARTS PAPERS.
Auassuao, APRIL 17..--A rumour fill coati-
rues that the Mayne is hereafter to form the frontier
between North and South Germany. The changes
that are to take place upon the banks of this river,
appear to be near at hand. We learn that a frefh
carps of French troops has advanced towards the
Speffart, and taken cantonments in the principality
of Afchaffcnbourg, to which place General Latour
blaubourg has removed.
Some difpntes are Paid to have arifen relative to
* Mee paffage of the Auftrian prifoners ; the Contlirut-
•d Authorities of Bavaria having refuted to let them

upon this bnfinefs.
Sy. Prrsessoacm, MARCO! s.—When the Em•
peror retdrned to his capital, he brought with him,
(rota the fcene of difaller and carnage cf which he
'had been witnefs, a marked antipathy againtt war,
and the calamities in its train. This happy change
excited a degree of pleafure among the Iriends of
peace, and their hopes teemed to have the bet foun-
dation, ■s their Sovereign, intoxicated with the fa-
•ours of love, did not teem difpofed to renew the rifle
attending the chances of war. Madame de Narifch-
kin, upon his return from Aufterlitz, laid, the hoped
fits then few him never more to be feparated from
her : lhe conjured him inccffantly not to expofe
hinsfeff to thole dangers that alarmed her feelings,
and extolled the charms of peace, in the bofom of
which he might enjoy the happinefs of being loved
in tranquillity.
But the young ',Unifiers, who only from the firli
had viewed the IP'rincefs as a tranfitory objea of the
Emperor's attachment, no fooner perceived the in-
fluence the had upon the mind of the Sovereign.
than they battened to attach themfelves to the ear of
the favourite.
Even the Emprefs Dowager, always tormented
with the with of lofting a part in public affairs, deter-
mined to range herfellunder the banners of a party,
formidable by the addrefi with which it had felted
upon all the avenues that led to the heart, and to
the authority of the Monarch. She endeavoured to
difcover every poffible means to captivate him, and
with this view the gave.the Minillers the credit of a
converfion which Ike owned was only imputable to
their recent conduCt, and to their attachment to the •
perfon of her (on.
Till this period, the had always been furronnded
by perfonages the molt diffinguiffied by their birth
and fortune, and in particular by the principles of
oppofition, fuch as Scheremetoff, Soltikoff, Landf-
koy, the old Count Strogonoff, and feveral others,
among whom, Count Golorokin was remarked,
sacs fent by the Minifiers on an Emhaffy to Chioa,
INder to exclude him firms interference in the cen-
tred public affairs. This hi iliiant circle of luxury
iftegnificence, which formed filch a fir iking con-
trol with the citizen-like fimplicity of her Sun's
Court, then gave place to the mote model Soirier,
where the fame Minifters that the Emprefs Dowager
'sad carefully (intoned on all occafions. we: a admit-
ted and received with all pollible marks of dittinc-
tion. The objea of this change of condita wa. evi-
dendy calculated to recover the credit the had for-
merly maintained with her fon : he, however, upon
every other occafton, affecting the utmoll degree of
filial affeftion, only granted her a few trifling fa-
♦ours, and teemed as if he waited to exclude her
entirely from any kind of participation in the affairs
of the State.

Hcr attempt., however, were not altogether fruit-
left- The Emperor left her to do the honours to the
Duke of Brunfwick ; he dined and !upped every
day at her hoofer and, to make things (till more p -
!stable, Count de Goltz was alfo invited every do, ;
it was there the reproduced, under a thoufand diffe-
rent fhapes, her hatred agairdi F: ante, and its allies.
Even the pretence of the illufirious ['ranger was not
Ifufficient to rearain her within die limits of pro-
priety. One day the pronounced a pompous cub".
films upon Ruin, and obferved, that if Peter the
Great could rife from the tomb, he would view the
profperity and the fplendonr of his empire with alto-
oddment. Yes, Monfeigneur, , raid the, but, for your
part. Frederick the Great, would he not be equally
furprifed at the aggrandizement of his Monarchy ?
This, it is true, has been effeeted by other means,
and with leis expence._

The Duke had no fowler left the company, than
all tilt courtiers applauded the cunning and finefe
of the Dowager to the &its, and teemed apprehen-
five left the might not perceive they were fenfible of
the intention of what the Paid. The demonilrations
of courtefy, even to excels, were flill Leaped upon
the Duke ; and, iliac, on the part of the Emperor,
might poiLbly be taken as a return for the 'brilliant
manner in which his hrotl:er,..zid bitAldt, wt•te re.
ceived at the Court of Berlin ; but, f,um the party
which predominat:d is the C..uucil, this
courtefy appeared ironical, to filch a degree, a, not to
efcape the notice of perfuns, not by any means re.
puted the moll penetrating.
Obfervers, in the midi of all there dA7zli. g
monies of favour and dillinefiun, bad nut much
trouble to convince themfelvec of their real motive ;
but a &solar citeumitanee at length placed it be-
yond the pofEbility of doubt : M. de blarifchkin, as
it is known, is Direftor General of the The sssss , and,
havisg learned that the Duke of Brunfwick was to
be at the Mesiro Frantoir that evening; he took extra •
ordinary pains to get the rim ehasped, arid, itittead
el that which the Duke intended to fce, he lubllituted
the Comedy of Tartiffe.

This Petty manceuvre had been amnestied al the
_hours or Prince Bagrathion. a Perim the mon an.
Live, toll moll devoted to the favourite, and its no-
tire Windd not have been eaftiy difenvered, if it had
not been known that the ereattnes ..f Prince Csart..e•
infki and the pentionet s of England, pad, ever flute
the Duke's arrival from Berlin. been employed in
reprefenting him as a man of bad faith, and an exca-
five flatterer. The moment the Duke appeared in
the Empecor'e box, the public, who were waitiog to
%One's the entrance of the Royal Family, began to
applaud ; when perceiving the PtufGan Envoy, and
the Count de Goltz ; the chat, the hothes and mur-
mur. were heard all through the hook. The follow
ing verity, addreffed to M. Organ, were applauded
with an evident degree of affeElation :
0_ Renate: you', Monfieur, d'une alanne dehaude ;

" Nous vlvons foul un Prince ennemi de k frsudc,
" LID Prince dont les vein fe font jour dana lc, occurs,
que ne pcut tramper tout I'art dca impoltturs."
And again—
.. Cetut ci n'etoltpas pour le pouvoir furprendre,
" Et de pines plus fins on to volt fe defeudre "
To have judged better of the intention in repre-
fentii,g this drama, it would have been neeeffary to
have been in the boxes, and witneffcii the whilperiogs
and the ironical grimaces of the Nat ifchin party.
Prince Czartormacy difplays himfell, more and
more, as the declared enemy of Priam. Every body
oblerved the pain,. he took in avoid every meeting
with the Duke Brunfwick. Having found him
one day with the Emperordlid at dinner time, when
he thought he had been in the Dowager's apart-
ments, he withdrew without taking any notice, and
dept ived himfelf of the lonottr of dining at the Mo
narrh's table, merely to avoid the company of the
Pruffian Envoy.
t. The hatred of the Printers Czartorinfky has
not figured in any (mall degree in the affemblies of
Poulowi, and in the fuggettions which advifed an
attack upon Pruffia, in order to force her into the
coalition. This woman will never forger, when the
was beheld, without emotion, at the feet of the Mar-
quis Lucchefini, daring the hit huggles of Polith
liberty ; when fhe was brought into this humiliating
condition, to obtain the protedlion of Pruffia, in fa-
vour of her inn's eleeion ; he who is now Minifler
here ; and alfo to endeavour to divert that Power',
from the choice it had made, on its part, of Prince
Louis of Wirtemberg, to elevate him to the Throne
of Poland. Monet altli mente repylum ! Thus, Prince.
Czartorinfky has never (hewn himfelf a more worthy
branch of a family that cherilhes old and deep re.
fentments, than during the period tract he has been
molt highly honoured.
Count Merfeldt, the Aufirian Envoy, is treated
with lets refpeo than the Duke of Brunfwick. Se.
vend peifons of diftinetion have negledled to vifit
him ; he has fent his cards round twice, without re.
ctiving any in return. Count Orloff has even order.
ed his fervants to refute them, as alfa thole from the
Conful of Auflria. In fall, every thing here is tub-
fervient to intrigue, pride, and corruption.
In the midft of this labyrinth of intrigues, the
people and the army complain aloud. The diftribu-
tion en ',raj% which the Monarch has made of the
creiffes of St. George and Waldimir, upon the condi'.
(ion of the campaign, has generally appeared as a
favour rather granted to rank, than a recompence be.
flowed upon merit. All the officers who fermi with
diftinaion in the armies of Catherine, are slitgnfled
with what they call the Caporalifine the Corporal
flaking of the Emperor and the Grand Duke. They
by now, that they are aware of what all their
tar,

lt minutia has tended to ; that the make of a
boann, the cut of a coat, and a compreffed thane,
on not fufficient to form an army fit to face an ene.
my, efpecially when youth and inexperience are exclu-
fively called upon to command it (alluding to the
Emperor's Aides de-Camp, who, at the battle of
Anaeiii:z, ran here and there, carrying contradie•
thry orders, not a little contributing to fpread dif-
order and confulion in their ranks). I)ifcontent in-
creates in the army every day, and the difiniffinns
Intee become In numerous as to occupy the public
entirely F:r fix weeks part.
Almofi every column fuffered in the late cam-
paign ; cfpecially thole that formed the carps under
the Duke Conflantine. It is known that this column
was compnfed of the guards of the fine garrifon of
Peter (burgh. It was requited that, during.a route
of Oaten hundred weras, the foldiers fhould march in
platoons, and in the fame order as whet) they defiled
before the Emperor. Haraffed and exhaulied by '
the fatigue of fuch a march, they fell down dead to
the right and left ; he loft upwards of two thoufaild
men dining his retreat, before they reached the
Ruffian frontier ; Bill he would not give up the roe•
thod he had adopted. The officers were not treated
better; every kind of equipage had Leen fevetely
prohihited their ufe ; and he cuffed teveral Ueda, a
fort of Ruffian carriages, to be burnt. Thefe car-
riages were loaded with efleels, and had been fent
forward with the advanced guard. A violent fer-
mentation citified in the Emperor's array; and hence
many perfons attributed the (rodent manner in which
he remained with the referee at Anne/lite, to the
fear that he entertained of being killed by. Isis own
troops. All the vigilance of the Kik* sad the Poll
Office, have been exerted in vain to intercept the
means of throwing light upon that battle. It is vain
4 that they delay and keep back whole packets i this
feverity has only excited the public to make fironger
efforts to arrive at the knowledge of the truth.—
Hence
the anfwer of Prince Dolgorucki to the Thir-
tieth Bulletin, has produced a fpecies of fury to pro
CM it; and out of this curinfity, the agents of the
Port-office have made a very lucrative fpeenlation.—
It will colt • perfnn five r,,uhlzs at Peterfburgh to
reed a French Gazette only during a few minutes.
But this furor was greater at N.!cow, where they
paid even to fifty roubles, for reading the famous
bulletin, where it is Paid that the Emperor's affairs,
cisil and political, are managed by about thirty
coxcombs. As for the tell, neither the clamouts of
the public opinion, not the indignation of every co-
' lightened man, will be able for roan time to over.
' throw the difaltrons fyfieso that governs the Empire.
In tab, the . young Milliners oft incredible diligence
in attaching the Monarch to their ideas ; and if the
generufirf of his nature rometimes gets the better of
(heat, they know how to allure him again with the
atiralions of pleafure : they pads the art of flat-
tering his pride to Inch a degtee, that probably no.
thing left than a fudden rettlotion will ever be capa-
ble of enabling him to repoffefs himfelf of the reins'
of his Empire; and to well front the bands of in.
