DOCUESSINTS RELATIVE TO THE AUXILIARY CORPS
' The-auxiliary corps being arrived at Stonim on the
.12th Nov. 1812, changed all at once its line of ope:
rations, returned to the Bug, and thus facilitated the
arrival of Admiral Tschitschakoff at Minsk; %hours
before the French army. From arts time the auxili-
ary corps, according to the public papersi, did not
cease to be in daily communication with the enemy.
Towards the b.esinning of January, an interview was
p:oposed to Prince de Schwartzen*g by General
Wasseschikow, Aid.de-Camp Empeviii of
Russia ; this was'accepted, and ' iiait"fo have taken
place between Ostolenk* anciTykoein, but an -acci-
dent prevented the Russian General from appearing
there. He was. replaced by the Counsellor of State,
D'Anstedt,''the same who afterwards figured as a
Plenipotentiary of Russia, 'at Prague, and the cons
ference bras held at Warsasi.
:E-veo thing that has passed from the date of that
tamest lietween the Austrian corps and the Russian
corpa.frwai in consequence of their acting perfectly in
elincert. yhe Ainitrian corps, retiring from station
tn-litition, mice's:re. ely abandoned to the enemy aU
territory of,the Duchy of Warsaw—refused to
congar in the operations of the French army, whilst
the Austrian Cabinet declared that this corps did not
cease to be under. the Emperor's orders (See No. I.
a dispatch communicated by the Count de Bubna).
It secretly concluded an armistice with the enemy,
which it dissimulated fora long time, and would not
acknowledge its existence, until the moment when
. -General Frisiont announced that the armistice was
broken, and made known his resolution of entering
.the Austrian territory—and the Convention conclud-
ed with Saxony (see 28, 2 of the text of that Conven-
tion), without the French Government having the
least knowledge of it, for sending the Polish corpi
disarmed into the•rear of the French army ; the pre-
sence of which in a part of Poland caused a lively
inquietude to Russia. _
(NO. 1.)--pAssAGE EXTRACTED FROM A DISPATCH AD.
DRESSED TO COUNT BUENA.
(CoMmunicated by M. Difforet, on the sth July.)
• You will also declare to the Emperor, that the
auxiliary corps being, according to the Treaty, under
the immediate command of the said M. (the King of
Naples) it depended upon him to point out the place
where our auxiliary corps should be called to place
itself, and that our august Master did not order the
point of retreat towards Gallicia, that because his
Majesty bad consented that the auxiliary corps should
follow that movement, that corps did not the less re-
main under the immediate command of the French
Emperor, and it will 'depend upon his Majesty to
send to it such orders by the Majoi-General, as he
inay judge fit. You will explicitly state, that whilst
it is approaching other corps d'armee, we are far
from confounding the nature and end of our different
corps d'armee.
No 2 is a Convention concluded between Austria
' and 'Saxony, for permitting the troops under Ponia-
towsky on leaving the Duchy of Warsaw, for tra-
versing Gallicia, Moravia, and. Bohemia. It consists
of fourteen articles, stipulates that they shall not pass
in columns of mote than 8400 infantry an& 1000
- horse, and state the sum to 'be daily paid for the sup-
port of each soldier.
(C.) 7)OCUMENTS RELATIVE TO THE PROCEEDINGS OF
THE CABINET Or VIENNA, TO THE OPENING OF THE
CAMPAIGN.
The disasters which the excessive rigor of the sea-
son caused the French army in Russia, were scarcely
known at Vienna, and already induced the Cabinet
to a change of system.—(See Letters from Count
Otto, of the 16th and 18th December, No. 1 and 2)
but it even wanted time to arm. It opened negocia-
lions, and proposed its interposition to the Belligerent
parties. The Emperor, who only desired peace,
made no difficulty of accepting the medi.ition of an
ally. The Cabinet of Vienna evinced the most lively
joy—it applauded the Emperor's views, and found
them generous.
It appeared to enter upon that career where it par-
ticularly loved to serve the interests of France—it
declared that it was immoveable in its system ; that
the alliance founded on the most natural, permanent,
and the most essentially necessary interests, should be
as everlasting as the motives which had caused it ;
that it was that which it had sought for, after having
deeply reflected, that if it was to be again done, it
would wish it such as it was—that it did not dread
• France but Russia. It protested the disinterestedness
of Austria, which wished nothing for herself, and
which ,would consider the most important aggrandise-
ments too dearly purchased at the expence of a cam-

y of the

sand men, but all the forces of the Monarchy,
ip short, engaged not to act in any way derogatory
to the Emperor ; to take no steps without his know-
ledge ; and to communicate all its proceedings to
him, whether to lead to negociations, or respecting
. the armaments which were to sustain Austria in her
new attitude.
: The Cabinet of Vienna was prodigal of those assu-
rances to the French Ambassador ; they were the
object of the extraordinary mission of Count Bubna
to Paris. It sent the Prince of Schwartzenberg'there,
to give the Emperor a striking proof of its disposi-
tions, by making appear at the Court of France the
Commandant of the Austrian corps proceeding to his
Chief to receive his orders. In tine, it prohibited its
agent from making use of the.word oiediation, whilst
that it -was employing the mediation of an ally who
wires to accelerate the term of the war.—(See Nos.
1,4, 5, a, 7,8, 9, 10, and 11, of letters from Count
4ubaa.) Russia accepted this friendly mediation of
a power at war with her. She remarked, that forms
and usages were contrary to this concession, but she
posed on those considerations for having given.Aus-
Isla a proof of her confidence, and of her esteem.—
The Cabinets previously understood each other; this
language v. as concerted,
At oip same time when Austria proposed her nie-
diatioq to Russia, she made on offer of it to England,
Nilo did not fail to obseive, that the constant rela-
tions of Austria with France were opposed to the sue-
piss of this step. .11.. had, in effect, nu result.
