FROM TUE DUTCH PAPERS.

ROTTERDAM, AUGUST 28.—A paper is Ruck up
at our Exchange, fignifying, that verrels fail every
week, fitted up for the accommodation of pairengers,
for London.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 17—The general attention
teems, at the prefent moment, to be fearfully dired-
ed to the grand qtreition : Shall the Continent conti:
nue at Peace or not ? The anfwer to this queflion
will depend, in a great meafure, upon the lyflem
which the Court of Vienna may purfue. They who.
fear that peace will,not be prefcrved, ground their
opinion on the continuance of the preparations for
war, which are going on with greater activity than
' ever. The camp at Pettau, in Styria, is already
/
complete, and another is forming in the vicinity of,
CraccAr ; in the Tyrol they are employed very adivi-
ly in firengthening feveral milit.uy pas, and the
Levy of Sharplhooters is organizing again, and pro-
vided with arms. On the Bth infiant a company of
Cannoneers marched for that province, annum: 4:0M•
pany for Venice, and a third for Upper Aulltii; at''
the fame time, orders have been fent to General
Count Kt sxA U, to march immediately with his corps
to Budweis, in bohemia, there to await further or-
ders ; this corps is faid to confill of t 3 regiments of
infantry and two of cavalry.
Finally, the rigorous politicians after[, that the',
Emperor has returned a pointed anfwer to a certain
demand mace on the part of the French God‘rrs, '
went relative to the Autirian preparations for war in
Italy. This latter*afTertion was probably occationed
by an article from Vienna, dated July 31, which has
appeared in one of the neafpapers of the Empire, in'
the following words :
4, Lately a Note was prefented to our Court by
the French Nikiiter. in which he afkcd f r an expla-
nation concerniniz the preparations for war, and the
undhal movements of troops ; alio whet ner Aullria
withed for a war with France ? Whether that Court
had already formed an alliance with Raliv, or in-
tended to do it ? &c.e.r.c. To which our Government

is afro red to have returned the following alifwer
is That the affembling of Inch numbers of French
troops in Italy had rendered thole meafures need
fary ; that the negotiations which had hitherto talccri
place with Ruflia, had for 'heir objea an armed me-
diation; that Come clofer alliances which might fii!l
be formed with other powers, would be nothiag rife
Gut the conlequences of the ciicumftances which
fhould render them necelfary."

" As loon as this Declaratiut was received (conti•
nues th article), the French Minifter, in the name
of his Sovereign, gave affurances that the grcattr
part of the French troops in Italy should be with.
drawn." Thole who cannot believe that the Coutt
of Vienna will abandon its pacific fytlem, alien, that
the only objat of the Aultrian preparaticms for war
is, to enable that Government to oppofe any of the
Powers at war which would drag it into a war; and
they pofitively affirm, that the Coutt of Vienna, far
from going to war with France, will flip forward
with a declaration of an armed neutrality, which.
founckd upon folid ptinciplec, will put an end to all
the artifices of the enemies of France.

It i: alto thought, that, fo long as the Archduke
CHARLES, and the Vice-Chancellor of the Itinpire,
Count COBENTZEL, are at the head of affairs, a nip•
ture is not In loon to be appreheaded ; although it is
believed, that ciicurallances have occurred, which
have occafioned more or lefs coolnefs between the
two powers ; but it is hoped that this may yet be
removed ; at any rate, it is raid, that a perfon of
confequence arrived at Vienna on the 7th inaant at
a negotiator fent from Paris; and we are informed
from the Italian frontier, tl-et the number of troops
in Italy, of the two neighbouring powers (France
and Aultria) fnall, in future, be always equal, and
that there is no reafon to apprehend a war, although
the troops on both ricks were brought to that Cyr-
nem.

AUGUST 204—The reports, that the Republic of
Raguta has again applied to the Emperor of Ans.
TRI•, denting to be incorporated with his States, is
revived ; but it is generally believed, that the Em-
peror will not comply with that requell.
The !titers from Vienna of the Bth inflant, agree
in the following intelligence :

" W;thin the Lift week fie courier: have arrived
here from different Courts, and feveral others are
difpatched to Pari,, St. Peterfburgh, and London.
The difp.itches brought by the former, have occalion-
ed feveral confultations between the Emperor an 3 his
Miniflers, as well as between Count COSENTZ IL and
the Ministers of three Courts, M. LA Rocosrou-
WILT, Count RASUMOWSKY, together with Prince
DoLcoitowsnr, and Sir A. PAGET. The aflivity of
our cabinet induces us to believe, that this is a very
critical moment, and that bulinefi of the utmoft im-
portance is tranfaefing, though it is yet thought that
peace will be preferved. Count STAHREM a tic, Au-
titian Envoy at London, who had requelled to be
recalled, and whole Lady is already arrived at Vi-
enna, has received potitive orders to remain at Lon-
don, where his prefence is inoifpenfable."

We are informed that the Eleelor of Hai, at the
defire of the French Envoy, has given notice to the
Englifh Mater Tenor., that he mit quit his dst-
minions.
