On Friday arrived at Chatham, from Riga, the
Young William, lavia mailer, laden with timbcr and
malls for that Dock Yard. The mailer of the above
veffel brings intelligence which may be conGdcred of
the higheß importance. He left Riga about the middle
of ha month, and Ra:es that a large army, hoth in-
fantry and cavalry, was encamped there. He further
adds, that he law the detached portions of a bridge of
very confiderable eitent, drawn by upwards of too
horfeF, which was Paid to be defined for the purpofe.
of croffing t!.e rivers of Germany, to afford a paffage
for the Ruffian troop!, who were very ft ortly espated
to he upon their march : It was fupplied with grap-
plings, anchors, cordage, and every requifite o its
tectuity againll the virlerce of the weather or the ins.
petunia>, of the fronget currents.
The whole convert:l:ion at Riga turned upon the
prelim pollute of political affairs, and a war with
France was furpnfed to be decidedly fired on. The
mailer further fated that if the King of l'ruflia would
not accede to the demand which would be made for
a pallage for the troops of Rut% through his tern.
tory,. the paffage would be pet filled in without his
cot. Wat, and, if oppofed, it would be fined.

The plain and unaffedted manner in which the
above intelligence was conveyed to us by Mr. Levitt,
gives its every reaforable affurance of the correanefs
ofhis information. The recal of M Novozrorszorr
is a circumliance which alio affords a corroborating
proof of the hollile intention of ltuffia to the bound
la.s ambition of the la %%leis ruler of the French.

La( night one Gottenhurgh and Tcvn Hamborgh
mails arrived. A later from Vienna afcribes the
march of past of the troops that have been lately in
motion, (particularly of thofe that have been removed
from Moravia, Bchentia, Lower Aufiria, and part
of Hunsary to the Tyrol). to the fevere fcarcity
which prevails in thefe countries at this time. The
fcarcity may have had Tome influence in thefe
meats, hut comparing them with other circumftances,
we think it more probable that the principal induce-
ment has arifen from the pteftnt uniettled nate Of
Europe. A letter from Nuremberg, of the 23d June,
lays, that the number of Autlr ian troops now in the
Venetian territories, is eflimated at so,ooo ; thofe in
Stiria, 30,000 ; thole in the Tyrol, •26,000—in all
‘06,c00. But what defer ves particular notice is, that

the chit: Nobility. Ice. are callcci npon within t 4
to forrith a ccitain nornh!T of Ow Shooters, LI pt. •
iv,rtion their 7rieans.

To expea that any thing Mould tranft 1,?
at Vienna refr.e.ting ilt!nded unit France
till that Court is le uly to fluke a Llow, would be al..
(Ord. We are, however, flrongly Hriumjed, th,,t
tl.e period is not very dint in nii;rll that povret
will take a part in the war.

A private letter from Berlin, of the 27th Jett, iron;
a quarter of confiderable authority, rays, that
Ruffian General WINZINGERODE has fent by M No.
vosivrzocv a plan of military operations in cafe hot.
fhould take place between France and AM:
tria. General IVINZINGERODE himfelf left Vienna
on the t4th, to return to Peter!burgh. It is not laid
whether this plan had been approved by Au!llia, ttr
any aliance concluded, or in train between the
two Powers. It is evident, however, that a very
c-mliderable degree of apprehennon preva; both
France and Atlilria, that the prcfent live of !hints
cannot lati long. Auftria, therefore, fectfc'. aa!
tack, mull naturally be deftrous to manage ch, aid
off Rua. We are glad to'perceive that the Atli:
tian Government have taken facts precauti.,o, on the
Italian frontier, where BONAPARTE would Take the
firft attack, if fufpicious of an approp.e:ing cr.^.f,:de
racy.

The proofs of attachment and devotion to thei:
Prince and his caufc, which are daily afforded b;
the fuV:t.ls of his It.tteatat. MAJFATY, have neve:
been exceeded in the moll perilous moments of the
AuPrian Monarchy. The States of Hungary, witk
that gallant enthulialm which infpircd .hem in ti:::
time of MAFIA THERESA, have offered, in cafe of
war, to equip 183,000 men fur the field, and to fip.
port a (landing army of £o,oco in the country, rra.
vided the AP.CHDUKE PALATINE be inveiki aith the
command of them.

We have received French Journals to the 4th,
and Dutch to the 9th inn:int. French Govern-
r..rnu Rill continues to offer comments on the Note
of M. Novostxrzorr. It is cur ions, ha:were:, that
they have hitherto withheld the t7xt itfeif from the
people of France, nor has any of the minor journals
dared to publifh it. The people, therefore, know
nothing of its contents, but from the notice the
Government has been pleated t 9 take of it.
The Note is afferteo to be falfe and lying, the pa&
ports are declared to have been granted without pre-
vious conditions of any kind, and the Government
of France is Rated as having been ignorant nt even
the ohj.:as for which the negraiation was to be com-
menced. Doubts are profetred to be entertained as
to the authe riticity of the Note, and the pernicious
influence .jr Great Britain is called in for the good-
natured purpofe of tefeuing the Ruffian Milliner
from the folly of having prefented it.
The Paris papers of the 3d Rate, that B9I!APUTI

infpta the trooi:s on the coati. It was underilood

this journey for the pi rp le ((fending off his inSd-
