AUGSBURG, DEC. S.

The new fortifications here are continued with
gteat activity; and the walk of the city are futnifbed
with palifidoes. The Aufirian definers and fome
of our militia, are employed in demolifhing feveral
ufelefs buildings: they, in return, are (upplied with
bread, meat, and fome money, by the French.—
Three ovens bave been fet to work in the chiuches,
and large qv:acuities of beer, brandy, &c. have been
bought for the prifoners, with money colleted for
that purpofe : and, as many of thefe men arrived
here barefooted and without clothes, the benevolent
citizens are endeavouring to obtain a fnpply of thefe
articles. The public executioner of this place is one
of the I;x4 aitive promoters of thcfe charities.

GRATZ, NOVEMBER 29.
On the zgth, a part of General Boudet's divifion
entered th:s place. The contribution upon the
Duchy of Steyermark, and upon this city, amounts
to one hundred thoufand florins in fpecie, and four
hundred thoufand in paper. Very large requifitions
have alto been made for hay, oats, horfes, oxen,
wine. &c. Yeflerday General Marm-mt reviewed

VENTCF., NOVEMBFR. t 6.
..Ever fince the 6th wd have remained in the faine
nitation, viz. we are without a gArrifon ; as the
Marian troops merely retain the iflmds of San Sc-
condo and Cbiozzo. General St. Cyt', army is in
poffellion of the whole waft oppofite this city.
The Adriatic fwarms with privateers fitted nut in
Italy, which confiderably annoy the trade of Venice,
Trielle, &c. The French have brought feveral of
thefe veils from the Brenta, the Adige, and the Po,
which are probably intended to aid an attack upon
our infular city. There is, on the other hand, a re-
port
of a Roman fquadton on its voyage here, with
troops. We have as yet plenty of provifions, but
good water begins to fail us, as this mull be brought
every day from the Continent.

• , BERLIN, DECEMBBR 13.

The repay accounts which we have as yet re-
eal*ati, Of the battle which took place on the '3d and
44,,iippear in the public papers : I have only to re-
m* that the Ruffians, by the left itec-,nnts, had re-
tritteed•the lofs of the preceding day, but that nom
thing by the laR accounts had happened as decifi,e.
In the treaty of Potxdam it was Hipulated. that, is
four weeks after the departure of Count Hangwitz,
it this ftatefinan could not procure a fatisfaCtory an•
Ewer. to the propufitiot:s he had made, lioftilities
would commence on the part of Prot% *OA
France. Thefc four wce4s will be expired ncx: Stln•
day, the tgrh.
On the 2d difnatehes v:ere received from Count
liangwitz, and from the ii!ence tv:-.ich has been pre-
ferved refpedling their contents, it is fupptled that
Napoleon will not liHen to the proroiitions which he
has been commiffi,,ned to make, and that he has
propofed other conditions, which cannot be accept-
ed, fu that the war is expettcd fpeedily to he com-
menced on the part of Prudia. Saxony and Eng-
land are expected to accede to the treaty of Potz.
dam. A treaty of alliance is expected to be the con-
fequence. The treaty of fiblidy between Pruffia
and England is near being concluded. Saxony,
Helix, and Denmark, are expeded to accede to this
.treaty, which will coil England twenty-one millions
of dollars annually, between four and five millions
Reeling. The departure of the King is not yet fixed.
It will probably take place on the 16th or 17th.—
The army of the Duke of Brunfwick, of which a part
was Rationed in Hanover, is deßined to ad upon
the Rhine. The King of Sweden, contrary to ex-
peftation, is about to aft in conjunftion with the
Ruffians."
