FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, MARCH 17.
All the accounts received from Upper Germany
tend to confirm the general opinion, that a war be-
tween Austria and France will take place. The
Vienna Court Gazettes have not lately been delivered
in Lower Germany. All the French and Dutch
troops still a Hamburgh are to march in a few days
for Upper Germany, and all the French infantry that
remained behind have broken up this morning. The
Prince of Ponte Corvo has acquainted the Senate,
that he sets out for Hanover in a few days, to orga-
nize an army there, but that he will soon return.
The French are entirely evacuating Swedish Pome-
rania, and the Duke of Mecklenberg's troops are
ordered by the French to occupy that whole country,
particularly the sea coast. The French have there
only some tens d'Armes, Custom-house Officers and
Consuls to prevent importation of English goods, and
any correspondence with England. The Dutch, it is
said, will speedily make an expedition from their coasts,
probably with the Texel and Flushing squadrons.
His Prussian Majesty will not, it is said, return to
13erlin, under the present circumstances. It is confi-
dently reported that two strong Russian armies ate
stationed, one on the frontiers of Russia, and another
on those of Gallicia and Hungary. Hopes are enter-
tained that the Emperor Alexander will not act
against Austria, but rather remain neutral.
MAGDEBURGH, MARCH 14.
On the morning of the 12th inst. the French troops
that have for some time past been quartered in this
city, and composed General Morand's division, re-
ceived orders to break up. The cavalry, and the 30th
tegiment,of infantry, of the line, left this city the same
afternoon; and yesterday the 61st regiment of foot
also marched. The 65th regiment of infantry is still
here, and waits the arrival of one or more French re-
giments, which are expected here on the 21st instant,
when they will march for Saxony the next day.
The works in the arsenal here are carried on with
the utmost activity.

BANKS OF THE MAINE, MARCH 1.
A great Council of war was to be held at Munich.
Part of the Contingent of the Grand Duke of Darm-
stadt passed through Heidelburg, on its way to

PARLIdMINTARr PROCEEDINGS.

Augsburg.
The Magistrates and Deputation of Citizens art
Erfurth, in a publication of the 21st of February,
demand a twelve-fold simple contribution to maintain
the French troops, and the expences of the hospital,
the public treasury being quite exhausted.
'WARSAW, MARCH 6.
According to the last advioes from Gallicia, the
Austrians continue with great activity their prepara-
tions for war in that country. Many horses belong-
ing to the inhabitants have already been taken in re-
quisition for military transports. Every thing is
conveyed through Cracow.
The exchange of couriers is still vlery active.

HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29.
Mr. WHARTON, Lord ROazaT SET/40/1., Mr. Hoitsocxs,
and other Members from the House of Commons, brought up
the Navy Officers Widows' Pension Bill, the Irish Sugar Bill,
the Irish Provisions Bill, and several private bills, which were
laid upon the table, and severally read a first time.
The Flax-seed Growth Bounty Bill was read a second time.
The Tobacco Importation Bill was read a third time. A-
djourned.
