The Maalteur of the 16th contains a long official
Report, figned by A.BIRTHIRR, Minifter of War,
Rating the proceedings of the Depot General of War
during the year to. It lets out with ohferving
that this effablintment, created by Louvois, Mt-
nifter of War under Louis the XIV. had been
for a long time confidered as &depot of mere ar-
chives, and was interrupted by the flocks of the
revolution, but that, aided by peace, its labours
have begun to affume more order and confillency.
General CLARIS was Dire&or of it in the year 9,
at the end of which be was removed, and fucceed-
ed by General AmDasossi, who loon law that the.
two grand objets which it imported Government
to derive from this ellablifbnient, were the prompt
union, claffification, and analyfis, of all the ele-
ments of the hiftory of the war, the information to
be acquired therefrom, and the extenfion of the to-
pography necettary to complete thilknowledge of
the Republic, and to afford politive data refpeßing
that of foreign countries, where the French might
have to place themfelves for the protection of their
own frontierso or thofe of their allies. The re-
port then proceeds to Rate the new alivity, ad-
vantages, and energy, introduced into the eftab-
lifhment tinder ANDREOSSI, and details the refult,
confining of charts, plans, drawings, defigns, and
accounts, of the various places, and battles, which
occur in the hiftory of the late war, in every quar-
ter of the world. It then concludes with Rating
what remains to be done for the completion of
this work in the year i t, under the General of
Brigade and Infpeßor General of Artillery, SAM-
son, who has undertaken the direction of it for
more than four months paft, fince General As.
DREOSSI was appointed Ambaffador to England.
FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.
VIENNA, SI/TESSIER Majefty the ESP'
Petiole, has received by the hands of the Arch-
duke Patnarise, a reprefentation from the States
of Hungary, retpeding the prefent military con-
dition of that kingdom. He has recommended
to the States to bring their feffion to a dote ; and
it is fuppofed that the Diet will very foon be dif-
folved. The following is the tenor of the declara-
tion of the Hungarian States The kingdom
of Hungary keeps on foot not more than 64,000
men, with the exception of the frontier troops,
immediately depending on the Council of War at
Vienna, which are very confiderable. In cafe of
war, the kingdom furnintes an addition of 12,000
pal. Should a farther augmentation be wanted,'
a Diet muft be called ; his Majefty' is to propofe
his auf her ; and the States Content or refute at their
pleafure."
After a long ernitultation of the Minders, in
pretence of his Neiman Matisrr, on the 22d
snit. Prince CHARLES Avanassaa, Captain of the
Guards, received orders to let out for Paris, in
order to make rcprefentations refpeeting the infuf-
Seiency of the indemnities allotted to the GRAND
Dull of TUSCANY. The Patties fet out imme-
diately ; and his orders were to proceed with the
greaeft expedition.
We underftand that Baron Ms Las, General of
the Cavalry, has obtained his Neje sry's leave to
refign. The chief command in Bohemia is con-
Prred on Lieut.-General Count de Konioweara.
He is fucceeded in the Council of War, by Baron
A l.'s m z v, General.
RATItSOII, OCT. s.—The new declaration. es.
petted from the Minifters of the mediating Powers
Ilan not yet made its appearance. It is generally_

declaration is expeaed to contain modifications of
various articles in the plan of indemnities ;
will probably recommend to the Diet, in the molt
urgent manner, to bring their labours to a period.
It will facilitate the means of coming to a defini-
tive arrangement, by doing juftice to a part of the
remonftra.ting claims whim that plan has excited.
Hence the Deputition may poffibly accomplins
the objeds for which it was affembled much !boner
than was once imagined.
RASTADT, OCT. B.—Different detachments of
the troops of Baden have put themfelves in march
to take poffeffion provifionally of the remainder of
the new poffeffions aligned to our Sovereign. A
corps is proceeding to the county of Hanau Lich-
tenberg, which the Landgrave of Heffe Darm-
ftadt ced.:s to the Margrave. Another body is
deftined to take poffeffion of the Eifhopric of Straf-
burg. There is at this moment at Carlfruhe, a
great number of Deputies of the Ecclefiaftical Dif-
triets, Chapters, and Abbeys, for the purpofe of
recommending themfelves to the benevolence of
the Margrave. They count among others the De-
puties of the great• Chapters of Spire, Balk, Straf-
burg, the Deputies of Gengenbach, Frauenult,
and Schwarzach. There arrive alto in fucceffion
Delegates from the different imperiattowng which
come under the dominion of the Houfe of Bacleir,

STUTTGARD, OCTORIR 6.—A corps of Auftrian
troops, compofed of infantry and cavalry, have
recently collected together in the environs of Feld-
kirch.—Thefe appearances have given rife to a re-
port that this force was intended to take poffeffion
of that part of Suabia which the Court of Vienna
thinks itfelfjullified in claiming among the inthm-
nide: due to the GRAND Duke of TUSCANY. This
report has produced a deep impreffion at Munich,
and has given rife to the adoption of a new mili-
tary meafure. The objeEk of this meafure is to
coiled and form a corps of Bavarian troops in the
Southern difirid of the Bithopric of Aug burg.
From two to 3000 men have already reached
that deftination, and they are to receive further
reinforcements from the garrifon of Ulm, Mem-
mingen, Kempten, Scc.. &c. The command of this
corps has been entrufted by the Elector of Bavaria
to General GAZA, who has already fet out from
Ulm on his way to Sonthoffen, where he is to efta-
blifh his head quarters.
It appears every day more certain that the Elec-
tor of Bavaria is increafing his army in even a
greater proportion than has already becn Rated,
and that it is to be carried to nearly 60,000 men.
An order has been Wised to all the Bai&es to pro-
cad in the raifing. of recruits. From every forty
families fome one individual will be obliged to take
up arms, and to repair to the next apt.

FILIBURG (IN Tilt BILISG•14, OCT. s.—That
part of the Bilhopric of Bafie, which is fituated on
the right Bank of the Rhine, and which confifts of
the fingle bailiwid of Schliengen, and fome depen-
dencies, has been taken poffeffion of provifionally
in the name of the MARGILAIII of BArillf. Two
Members of the Grand Chapter of Bafle, the'Dean
of Roll, and the Canon of Wangen,• have fet out
for Carlfruhe, for the purpofe of recommending
the interefts of their Conftitaents to this Prince.—
The Biltopric of Conftance has alto been occupied
by a corps of the troops of Baden, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Colonel Miami) who has elta•
blitked his head-quarters at Moeriburg, but they
have not entered the town of Conftance, which is
placed under the dominion of Auftria. Remon-
(trances have been made aglinft the article in. the
plan of the indemnities, by which the mediate
chapters and convents, fituated in the Brifgau, are
aligned to the order of Malta. It is hoped, with
Tome foundation, that this ankle will be altered
by the influence of a powerful interference.
