°To-day there is no fresh arrival of French Papers.
Those which we noticed yesterday stated that goes-
burgh is filling with troops, and that the fortress of !Uhl
is in an excellent state of defence. This is a confir-
mation of the report that Wurtemburgh has joined
the Allies; for, in the event of an attack upon the
fortrissespf the Rhine, Strasburgh cannot be invested
without the co-operation of Wurtemburgb. It has
no doubt been threatened. The whole of the frontiers
of France are no* encompassed by enemies. The
grand Allied Artniest• which figured so recently in
the plains of Leipsic, are pressing onwaxd to the
Rhine, the. northern and eastern boundary of the
Trench Empire. Lord WELLINGTON is encamped in
tight of Baygnite. On the side of Italy, the Bava-
rians, the Swiss, the Tyrolese, and the Austrians,
under General Haw', are interposed between BEAU-'
swims and his communications with the Parent

Empire.
Although General Wonsan, on taking the field
with the Allies, announced in his Proclamation that
the Austrian army would be commanded by the
Archduke-Om/was, the state of that distinguished
veteran's health has not as yet permitted him to take
a share is the active duties of the geld. He is at
present, we believe, at Vienna i and, iu the absence
of the Earattoa and the Austrian Generals, super-
intends the 'arrangements for supplying the Au.
strian army in Saxony with reinforctments. Prince
Scawairraarasetto, who command, the Austrian
army ht Chkf, is a Mach younger man than the
Archduke CLIARLESp under whom he has repeatedry
served. Previous to the ona- undertaken against
lassie, however, he was only-known as a negociator,
and to his diplomatic, rather than to his military
talents, he was indebted for his appointment to com-
mand the Austiian contingent on that occasion. In
fact, if required more of the tartique of the Cabinet
than of the field to direct the movements of the At:-
team In that campaign, Prince SCHWARTZANBEIWS
duties were arduous in tke extreme ; he had to avoid
coming in contact with the Russian armies, and at
_the same time to make a thew of great zeal in the
cause of BONAPARIPIL ' The diplomatic correspon-
dence between France and Austria, recently publhh-
ed, proses that his Court could .not have made a
better adds. All Europe will remember with gra-
titude his abandonment of the “ Minsk line of ope-
rations" in the very crisis of the Ttrant's fate.
Prince SCHWARTZENBEROPS career, as Commander
in Chief of the Austrian army, has been brilliant and
successful. His dispositions at the grand attack upon
Dresden, in the Bohemian Passes, and latterly in the
vicinity of Leipsic, codtribeted greatly to the cata-
strophe which has since overtaken the French army.
Prince SCHWARTZENDERO was the Austrian Resident
at Paris for several years. At a grand ball given a
few years since in the French capital, his Princess
was burnt to death, in consequence of the lighti set-
tiog fire to the furniture of the apartment. On that
occasion, BONAPARTZ and JOSEIMIWIII with the other
female appendages of his hopeful dynasty, narrowly
escaped with their lives. Prince SCHWAIITZENBEAG
in person saved the life of BoNAPARTE, by carrying
him from the midst of the flames in his arms—the
vorst action of his life !
The Diplomatists employed by the Austrian, and
indeed by most of the Continental Cabinets, are, like
Prince SCHWARTZFNURCh military men as well as po-
iiticians. In this they have been compelled to imi-
tate the example of the French since the Revolution-
Count BMA, who figured lately as Austrian Am.
bassador 4straordinary to BONAPARTE, now com-
mands a large division of the Austrian army.
The French Generals ROCHANISEAU and VIAL, who
were killed in the battles of the 16th October, were
among the oldest and most experienced Officers in
BONAPARTeS army. ROCHAIIBRA4 commanded at
St. Domingo during the dreadful anarchy which pre-
vailed in the Freels Colonies, as a sequel to the Re-
volution in France—his atrocities rendered his name
'execrable wherever it was pronounced—it must be
familiar to such of our Readers as are versant in the
History of the period to which we have alluded.
General VIAL was an Aide-de-Camp to BONA.-
in Italy, and followed his fortunes to Egypt,
where he was made a General. Subsequently he
filled the functions of Ambassador in Switzerland.
LaTornt MAUSOIIIIOI who was mortally wounded, has
been long est;.emed one of the most excellent cavalry
Officers in Europe. He has been Second in cons-
mind to- MURAT in this department of the French
army ever singe BONAPARTE became Generalissimo.
General Matson, also mortally wounded, was for-
merly an Aid-de-Camp to the CROWN Nemec. He
was a common soldier in 1792. He has been at lust
twenty times wounded.
MAI:DONAL% who escaped by swimming across
the Stale, performed a similar feat at the Battle of
Trebia, in Italy, in 1799. The Russians were then at

his ire's gos. 1261111116 =feria& Weisel( to be filen
7 is not surprising 3 already in the Battle of
itz he had conducted himself, according to
tbs disown Pa mesa 11Unetill, with the hardihood of
a man 66 desirous of death." The death of PolllA-
rownor, the Polish Chieftain, will be regretted by
SWAP/4U; even more than the defection of any of
his allies. .He was the rallying point for the Polish
tisision, and, besides being an excellent General, he
was considered au experienced politician.

Advice: have reached town from Antwerp, dated
on the 7th instant; but what may be considered as
singular, they are accompanied with no communica-
tions from Paris. They speak, however, of an ex-
pected •isit from the Allied forces on the Banks of
the Scheldt, and mention that preparations have
made to inundate the country, and destroy the trfp-
ping and arsenals, in such an event. There ate at
least 16 sail of the line at Antwerp.

The following particulars respecting the unfortn.
nate condition of Hamburgh have been furnished by
a Gentleman, who left that place i few days since :
" -On the 81st ult. the fortifications were considered
`to be nearly completed, and the gartison had 1
suc-
ceeded in provisioning itself for a long period to come.
The Hamburgenberg had been pulled down, to the
extent of four streets across the Hill, as far as the
New Droege. The Glasshnt, with all that belonged
to it, and every thing before the gate called Damthor,
had been destroyed, as far as the Botanic Garden.—
Before the gate Brokthor, and on the Grasbrok all
the houses were in the act of being pulled down. The
whole Borgfelde, and all the country in that neigh-
bourhood, had been levelled to the ground. In the
suburbs, the pavement had been removed, and all
the stones conveyed to Wilhelmsburgh, in order to
make a grand paved road. .The bridge leading from
the Brokthor, across the Grasbrok to Wilhelmsburg,
has been finished, and cost in building four millions
of franks. All the articles necessary for its construc-
tion had been taken by requisition. The whole
seized in this manner, including timber, iron, hemp,
tar, together with wine, brandy, &c. for the garrison,
amounted at least to twenty millions of franks.
" Two new citadels had been recently erected—
one near Burth's Monument, commanding the Jung-
fersteig ; the other at the Stintfang, threatening the
whole town. The church of the Holy Spirit had
been converted into a magazine ; that of St. John
into a magazine for wine ; and that of Gertrude, into
one for flour. The sluices between the Great and
Little Elster had been opened for the greater facility
of conveying the materials for erecting some new
palisadoes near the Elster. The opening the sluices,
however, occasioned the rising of the water in the
Little Elster to such a height, that it completely filled
a the cellars belonging to the dwellengs of the lower
dunes of peopled but of this circumstance no notice
whatever was taken by the enemy. Instead of con-
ciliating the people, by studying their comfort, the
French,do every thing to mortify them : the soldiers
are heavily quartered on the inhabitants, and extraor-
dinary el'arges are laid on the people, independent of
the heaiy contributions levied on them. About the
25th of October,- 12,000 blankets were demanded by
the French Commandant, for the use of the troops :
this being the whole supposed to be wanted, they were
immediately furnished ; but in the course of a few
days afterwardse a still greater supply (from 75 to
80,000) was required.—The respectable citizens con-
inued to avail themselves of every opportunity to

escape from the clutches of the French, abandoning
both their town and country houses, together with
considerable property.

" Twelve hundred of the Danish auxiliary troops
were stationed at Altona, and 4000 sick were at the
cotton manufactory before the Damtbor, as also
1600 out of the 10,000 in the field. Besides these,
there was a great number of French sick in Ham.
burgh, not less it is said,. than 6000 men. In the ter-
ritory of Eutin, which the French enter,d a few weeks
ago, great outrages had been committed. The news
of the battles of the 18th and 19th appeared to pro,
duce considerable effect on the leading military men.
and much disagreement evidently existed amongst
them as to their future operations. That the place,
however, would be defended to the last extremity, no
one doubted."

Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of
YORK, CLARENCE, and CAMBRIDGE, the Archbishop
Of CANTERBURY, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and the
Juno ADVOCATE, had interviews with the PRINCE
REGENT, at Carlton House.

Yesterday the CHAECELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
had an interview with Viscount CASTLEREAGH at the
Foreign Office, previous to their going to the House
of Commons.

It is ordered in the House of Lords, that no peti-
tion for a Private Bill in this Session, be received after
the 13th day of February, and that no Report on the
same be received after the Ist day of April.

The SPEAKER'S Speech, delivered in the House of
Lords, when addressing the Prince Regent, at the end
of the last Session, has been printed. The following
is the passage which has excited so much notice :

" Other momentnus changes have been proposed for our con-
sideration. Adhering, however, to those laws, by which the
Throne, the Parliament, and the Government of this Country
are made fundamentally Protestant, we have not consented to
allow, that those who acknowledge a Foreign Jurisdiction should
be authorized to administer the Powers and Jurisdictions of this
Realn; ; wiWng as we are, neverthelees,ond willing as I trust we
ever shall be,to AIM the Imps scope to Itelltious Toleratioa.%

~LISBOI4 ?AMU,
'To die Slit Octobstfoliiiii arrived. They eonvey
the gratifying ;mil*. cif the whole Shores of the
Adriatic being ones mace reatored to the dominion
of tbeitiOnse of AUSTRIA.' For this event we were
ftihrptepated by tecent deta% in the French Papers
from their army in Italy. The Austrians have de-
feated BRAUUS.RNOIS at all points.
TARRAGONA, OCTOBER 2.
' "'By way of the Adriatic, we have received the
following important information :
a The provinces of Istria and Croatia had risen en
muse against the Tyrant. The Austrian flag floated
in the ports of Fiume and Re, and almost on the
whole Adriatic coast. In the port of Lissa were
taken a ship, a frigate, and a French brigantine ;
and it is expected that, in a short time, three of the
former and four of the second, which are in Venice
and Triest, will share a similar fate.
al The Austrian General Nugent, with 22,000 men
and some Croats, has defeated 40,000 French, whom.
by a combined movement, they attacked near Triest,
and took from them one cannon, much ammunition,
and 800 men. We are assured that the Bavarians,
23,000 strong, have joined the 'Allies."
" LISBON, OCTOBER 30.
t, The Allied Army is going to be divided into.
four corps, and Marshal Beresford will, it is
command one of them, composed of the 3d and 6th
Divisions.
“ On the 20th the Great Lord, Marshal Beresford,
and their Adjutants, visited the positions of the army:
similar visits have usually been the precursors of new
events and continued triumphs."
