which he had forefeen. In raa, to have made a pro-
pef in filly two armies were required; one to inveli
the fortrettes, and the other to maintain the advan-
tages which Mould have been obtained.
The defeat of the Außrians near Ulm was not al-
together unforefeen here. Several Generals prodiaed
this difailer—among others, General Troon, who,
hearing ot the pafage cf Bernadotte, (aid, publicly,
and verylfreqnently repeated it, "that they would fee
the French at Vienna."

They have a firange mode of confoling themfelves
here.; they pretend, that the victory of the 15th was
not to he afcribed to the genins of the French Gene-
rah, but to chance, and the nnfkilfnlnefs of the An&
trians, who, having 101 l their fenfis, added one blue.
der to another.
The Archduke Charles has fent a courier, to ex-
prefs hi, apprehenfions, that he (hall not be able to
cover the Tyrol, and to demand reinforcements.—
Confequently, the referve of the troops upon the
frontier, are ordered to march. as reinforcements
for the Archdnke. Similar orders have been given
to the levy cn maffe, the neareß in point of &na-
tion.

The Archduke Palatine prepared, that if his
Imperial Maklly had chofen to have taken refuge in
Hungary, to demand of him full powers to bind
him to the difmiffion of all his Auilrian Ministers,
and to fuhnitnte Hungarians ; to abandon the Ger-
man provinces to their fate ; to concentrate his
forces in Hungary; to put 300,000 men under arms,
and with there to advance to the frontiers and demand
peace of the Emperor Napoleon. In cafe of his Ma-
jelly's acceptance of reafonable conditions, the
Archduke Palatine would have undertaken to ob-
tain the confent of his brother. If on the contrary
the terms were rejeAed by Napoleon, the Archduke
bad refolved to facrifice the whole of his army,
and his uwn perfon, in defence of the honour of his
Nation.

This promifing projed was entirely fet *fide, by
the Emperor's determination to take refuge atOlmutz
with the Emprefs and the Foreign Mioillers of all
the Courts in amity with him, and to fend his chit•
dren only to Hungary.
This change has contributed very mach to the di.
minntion of the enthafialin. with which the pretence
of his MajeAy bad infpired the Hungarians, in the
fitting of the late Diet. The zeal which has been
remarked among the Hungarians, is not (*much the
offspring of their devotednefs to their Sovereign, as
of their apprehenilons on account of any change in
their conflitution. Their ideas of the political im
portanee of this conftitation are fo extraordinary,
and of the obfiaeles the Emperor Napoleon would
meet with in any attempt to overturn it, that they
imagine it is the principal objet at vithich he is now
aiming, merely to obtain the end be has propoted to

They are alfo intimately perfisaded, that. fo long
as their confiitution (ball remain inviolate, Europe,
encouraged by their example and their principles, will
flruggle fueeefsfully againfi French principles; but
that. from the moment their confittotion (ball be
Oaken, its fubjugation mutt nueffarily follow.
The Emperor having rejefted the offer of a general
tiling ea ma. and having preferred an army of fixty
thnufand men, and a referee of thirty thoufand. paid
and eqpipped by the Hungarians, the Palatine fumed
to be no longer animated with the fame energy, and the
levies went on fo firmly, that it is probable fix weeks
would have elapfed before they would have been
completed; and that the Palatine would have broke
with his Majeßy, being difgufied with the new mea-
fures. which, as they did net promife better than the
former, might compel him to make a dithotsourable
peace. It furns, however, that he is determined to
continue the war, with the aid of the Ruffians ; and
that he will Rill collect recruits, neither willing nor
able to fight. One tingle check may deßroy there
refhlutions.

After the battle of Ulm, the Emperor offered the
command of the army of the Danube to the Arch.
duke Charles, adding, it was the defire of Ruffia and
England that he should accept it—that, at the fame
time, he might have an opportunity of negociating
for a peace with the Emperor Napoleon ; and either
to obtain good conditions, or time for the arrival of
the R. columns. The Archduke anfwered, that
he thought nothing of any fact ;Bees be might make
for the prefervation of his MAjeßy's provinces—but
that the idea of a negociation, for their ceffion to the
enemy, was intolerable.
It items the Archduke will, in future, enjoy the
full confidence of his Majetly—the Cabinet Minifter
alfo frequently invites the Privy Counfellor Faibender
to his private conferences. This enrages his anta-
gonitts the obfeure partifans of the Jeluits, fuch as
Plot and others, and makes them tremble.

This junto, it is fail, perfuaded the Emperor to
cattle the Archduke Charles to fit out for the army
of Italy, long before his pretence was neceffary, that
they might avail themfelves pf his abfence, to Wen
the commencement of hollilities—a meafure the Em-
peror had conftantly refitted, while the Archduke
WAS with him.

The dearth is exceilive, the magazines are empty,
nothing is in circulation but paper, which decreafes
in valoe every day. If the reverfes continue, and
the French armies thould happen to demand contri-
butions in frecie, it will be impdfible to pay them.
It tt ill then be neceffary for the Emperer to open his
private treafory, which contains ducats, at leaft, to
the value of so millions of florins.
The Canon of Collambach has declared, upon fe-
veral occations, that if his brother, the Privy Corm-
calor, Mould only fucceed in effecting the promotion
of General Mack to the head of the army, the merit
of this alone would be fo confiderable, that the
country could never fufficiently teflify its gratitude.
But the battle of Ulm has produced fuck an altera-
tion in the Canon, that the feverity of Ilk cenfure is
now as extravagant as his former adulation.
The Emperor of Ruffia was expefted here on the
sth, and every preparation was made at Court for
J is reception, when a courier brought intelligence to
the Palace of Lichtenftein that his Majelly was fuel-
denly indifpofed. and had pallid the night in his
(bateau, at Felfbarg, in Moravia.
This indifpnlition was thought a mere pretext to
avoid the fpettacle of mifery. which he mutt other.
wife have leen imptinted upon every countenance,
notwithltanding the affeeked cheerfulnefs which it
Sias the with of the Government to exhibit. This
change of the Emperor's intention of vifiting Vienna
not appear to have been foreicen at Court, as

nose of the preparatione for his reception had been
countermanded.

The Emperor of Außria fee out on the 7th fort
Prefisourg, on his way to Ohnutz—he had declared
he would put hinsfelf at the head of his troops, and
he nominated General Schmidt as Adjutant Gene-
ral. They fay the Emperor took that route to avoid
a meetiog with the Ruffian army, which, no longer
concealing its difguft, secure even the Aafirians of
felling and betraying them.
The Emperor was expeeed to have flept at Schol-
fhof. after leaving Prefbourg, where it was thought
he would wait the return of Count Coda'', who
was to bring the determination of the Emperor of
the French. The Emprefs fet out for Olmats, in the
night between the 7th and Bth, with the elder Princefs
and her phyfitian.
On the 29th of Matcher, Government determined
to put all the veal§ upon the Danube in a Rate of
requifition, to tranfport the cites belonging to the
Court and the different Chanceries ; and the boatmen
were ordered not to take any thing in charge from
private individuals ; but on the 7th of November it
was announced that his Majefiy had appropriated
one veffel. for the tranfport of valuables belonging to
private perfons ; that proper officers were appointed
to give receipts for what might be confided to their
charge—that foch depnfits Ronald be tranfmitted to
a place of Way, and faithfully returned to the
owners when the danger had fubfided. and that his
Majelly would be anfwerabk for every thing not de-
pending upon the elements.
Yellerday, the loth, orders were ifroed for difchar-
ging all the boats, &c. upon the Danube, which took
place accordingly.
Much precaution was ufed in faring all the old
carriages belonging to the Court ; as to the library,
only the molt valuable books were peeked up.
From the Gallery of Paintings, the moll precious
pieces only were removed ; on the other hand, not a
'beet has been left behind of all the documents rate
ti►e to the war.

A report had been fpread. that General Lamberti
was dificraced ; but this is not confirmed, as he ac-
companied the Illenperor in his carriage. The public,
who do not like this General, received the
genet of his fall with pleafore.
Count Guilay, difpatebed on the 7th to the Em-
peror Napoleon to propofe an Anniftice, received for
anfwer, that his Majetly. being
.at the head of two'
hundred thoufand men, was not to a fituation to treat
with a flying army; he, however, gave Count Cid.
lay a letter for the Emperor of Auftria, in which it
is hoped, he has made propofals for a peace.
Returning from the head quarters, near St. Hip-
polite, Count Guile, met the Deputation of the
States of Auftria, going from Vienna to the Empe-
ror Napoleon, to folicit leave for a capitulation.
This deputation was eompnfed of the Prince Sin-
zendorff, the Biihnp of'Seidenftetten' and M. Whol.
leben, Burgomafter of the city. with General Bout,
Igeois. of the Engineers. They (hewed him the u-
ncles for which they were to negotiate ; their con.
tents ftruck him with forprife.
He gave them to underiland, they were not going
to treat as conquerors, but as the conquered ; and
that they mould carefully avoid any thing which
might irritate the Emperor of the French. He then
I made fuck corrections as be thought necefary, and
advifed the Deputation not to go beyond the& con.
ditions.

The Deputation then difpatched Prince Sinzen-
dorf to Vienna, to demand a renewal of their full
powers, while Count Guilay interpofed with the Em-
peror Napoleon for an armiflice of three days to give
them time to make the neceffary arrangements but
this could only be granted for 4$ hours.
General Kienmayer left Vienna, for Olmuts, on
the oth at night. As he had (erred under General
Meerfeldt, and as it was reported that the latter had
marched into Syria, to attack the column detached
by Bernadette to annoy the Archduke Charles, and
compel him to retreat, it was thought that General
Kienmayer had very important communications to
make to the Emperor refpeeing the Archduke's Stu-
ation, which could fcarcely be fuppofed to be con-
Poling, notwithßanding all the bravery this Prince
had (*.played.
Prince Amfberg, Commandant of the guards at
the Palace, was appointed Commandant of the city
of Vienna ad interims • and Prince John of Leichten-
Rein, Commandant of the Referee in Auftria and
Bohemia, then Rationed upon the left thore of the
Danube ; Count Cnrbua, Vice Prefident of the
Mines and the Mint, was appointed Commiffary Ge-
neral, having for Adjutants the Deputies of State,
and the Aulic Counfellors, Count Korinfky and Ba-
ron Kilmanfegg. The Emperor authorized the Ma-
giliratea of Vienna to circulate paper to the amount
of a million of florins, in bills of 12 and 34 francs,
to be called in aft:r the war.

A French fquadron has arrived at Ancona. This
was announced to the Governor of Fiume by the
Au[lrian Conful ; the former battened to communi.
rticate this intelligence to the Hungarian Chancery.
A report waa fpread, from the houfe of the Ruffian
Amballador, that, notwithßanding the Convention
of Neutrality, Ruffian troops had arrived at Naples.
When the Emperor of Außria fet oat for Olmotz
on the 7th, he canted his departure to be announced
to the Diplomatic Corps, and invited them to follow
him, as horfes were provided for their journey, and
lodgings, as commodious as potfible, were to be fitted
for their reception at Olmutz.
Upon this octagon, M. Loppel, the Charge d'Af.
1 faire: of Heie Calle', was for otten—but, on the 9th,
repair the overfight, an cial letter was fent him
from the Chancery, in his ajeßy's name. Count
Cobentzel alto was charged with a verbal merage to
him ; and, as the Count even preffed his departure,
he fet out on the fame day.
When Count Cobentzel notified the Emperor's de•
parture to the Minißers of Baden and Wurtemberg,
he informed gem, that all official communications
having ccafed, they might receive their paffports
whenever they chofe to demand them.
The Minifler of Wurtemberg, not choofing to avail
bimfelf of this offer, remains here as an individual,
and to ad as a guardian to Count Scillern, who is
terrified with the thoughts of French or Bavarians.
The Minilter of Sardinia, impatient of his Ma-
jeßy's delay in changing his refidence, had demanded
paffports for Hungary on the 6th ; but when he re-
ceived the invitation of his MajeßT, by a note, to fol.
low him to Olmutz, he availed /mielf of the oppor-
tunity.

On the Bth, the Emperor granted an extraordinary
vacation of three months to the Aulic Council of the
Empire ; and the Chancery of State has been trent-
ferred to Owns. The Aultrian Council of State is

PRIVATE LETTER.

Haag., Die. I.—Letters from Italy and Spain,
as well as from trance, fcarcely (peak of any thing
but o failures, of a total Ragnation in trade, and of
the abfeace of all confidence in commercial tranfac-
dons, the confequence of the derangement of the
French finances, and the unfafety of all property in
Rates tyrannifed over by Bonaparte.
Though the Wainer Fouche has already tranfport-
ed feveral money and Rock brokers, and merchants
for refilling French bank notes, at par. or demanding
a difcount ; and though their circulation is enforced
by the bayonet. yet fuck it the difcontent and refrac-
tory fpirit at Paris, that to avoid obedience. many
warehoufes and magazines are Glut up ; and bottles
have (lopped payments at prefent. and fupport cer-
tain loffes only to avoid future ruin. The bank
ruptcies at Paris occafioned the moll violent (cents
on the Exchanges of Bourdeauz, Nantes, Lyon*, and
Marfeilles ; and the military were finally called in
to quiet the turbulent, and to eel in fettling mer-
cantile differences. Nothing is done but for ready
money, or for eschaage ,of merchandise ; and the
price of every thing (curious as it may teem) in-
creafes in proportion with the want of cub and cre-
dit. Some French bankers and merchants write,
that the ifue of another paper money. called 44 Im•
penal Bons." is fpoken of. as well u the ellabliih-
meat of another maximum.

Onr Grand Penfionary received the day before
yeßerday, a letter from Talleyrand, and has fince
written to, or fpoken with the Chiefs of our princi-
'pal hooks at A.mßerdam and Rotterdam, and in the
name of our high Ally, the Emperor of the French,
atked pecuniary (Demurs for the banks and bankers in
France. It is Paid, that he has fo far fucceeded, that
a loan of twelve millions of Here:, fear.
has
been promifed in calk before the new fear.
Several couriers and convoys have been cut at or
captured by the Auflrian light troops, on the rear of
Come columns of the French armies, and Come thou-
fend Außrian prifontre have been fct at liberty by
them, affilied by the inhabitants of Suabia and
Franconia. An Aid de Camp of Bonaparte, elcor.
ted by one hundred mounted riflemen, and carrying
difpatches of great confeqaence, was attacked this
fide of Munich, by a corps of military, who way-
laid him, killed him, and the me* of his efcort, and
feised all hib papers, Paid to throw a terrible light
upon the future views of the Emperor of the French.
It is laid here that immediately after his entry at
Vienna, Bonap.rte wrote a bombaftic letter to the
Grand Seignior, encouraging him to take op arms
againft A.uftria and Ruffia. The bearer of this letter
was flopped in Hungary, and the letter was fent tO
Bronn. Several French emiffaries have been taken
u? and hanged in Hungaria, Bohemia, Poland, and
Sdefia.
