,g Inhabitants of Vienna, your own interest calls
upon you to repel the perfidious insinuations of insti-
gators : it is that class of persons who, having no-
thing to lose, excite sedition in the hope of gaining
rby pillage. Exercise the closest watchfulness over the
eviWisposed ; concur in maintaining the general
tranquillity, and you will render yourselves worthy
of the benevolence his Majesty the Emperor and King
is always ready to evince towards you, and of which
he has already given you the most striking proofs.

BRESLAU, JUNE 28.
The theatre of war every day approaches our pro-
vince. The Russian and Polish army has put itself
in motion from Sandomir, where a new orgariizaticn
was made, which was rendered in some measure ne-
cessary, by the re-union of the troops of the two na-
tions. General Dombrowsky, after having formed
bodies of militia in all the districts of the palatinate
of Sandomir. has formed a junction at Polanseck,
with Prince Poniatowsky. General Zajonzeck, rein-
forced by a Russian division, forms the rear-guard.
Another Russian column has passed the Wistocka, at
Przedblaw, so that all these forces are now united in
the palatinate of Cracau, and consequently on the
point of entering Moravia.
The Cossacks make' excursions 15 leagues before
the army—they have been already seen in the envi-
rons of Sezyrzeek and Sandeek. The Archduke Fer-
dinand is retreating, by forced marches, to join the
Archduke Charles.
PROCLAMATION TO THE POLES.

FREDERICK AUGUSTUS, &C. KING OF SAXONY, DUKE OF
WARSAW, &C.
" POLES !—Already has the army, which had in-
vaded our duchy of Warsaw, been forced by the vic-
tories of our great regenerator, and the valour of ,our
troops, to abandon the capital, and return to his own
territory.

" After having rendered thanks to DIVINE Pnovi-
DENCE for the signal protection it has granted us, it
becomes our duty to employ the first moments of the
re-establishment of our government, in expressing the
sentiments which have been raised in us by the patri-
otism and attachment which the nation has so splen
didly displayed in that moment of calamity.
" The enemy had entered the country with a nu-
merous army. It appeared scarcely possible to resist
him--but he soon learnt the power of courage, when
led by a chief so brave and able as our minister of
war, Prince Puni.itowski.
" POLES !—Your battalions, which the great hero
has created, and in whom he has inspired that vali-
ant spirit, the best proofs of which are before his eyes,
hive shewr. they were worthy their creator. Inferior
in numbsr, they not only resisted the enemy, but sue-
tecsfulq'attacked him. They have carried victory
into his provinces, and have every where covered
themselves with glory.
" The whole nation have on their part shewn that
the valour and patriotism of the ancient Poles is
theirs. The invasion of a numerous enemy, far from
intimidating their, has only stimulated them to vo-
luntary and extraordinary offers to sacrifice their pri-
vate fortunes. -They have wholly devoted themselves
to the defence of their country. The departments
have emulated each other, in filling the ranks of the
armies, and furnishing the necessary contributions.
They have proved that the love of their country is a
national quality, and have rendered themselves wor-
thy to become models of that quality. PROVIDENCE
has also crowned those generous efforts with success.
" Our Council of State has by its zeal and wisdom
seconded by all the other constitutional authorities,
succeeded in maintaining the measures of the Go-
vernment as far as circumstances would permit.
" POLES !—Your country owes its safety to you!
it owes to you the approbation of your great regene-
rator, whose notice the brave conduct of the army,
and the ardent zeal of the nation, will not have es-
caped. It owes to you increased respect among its

" Divine PROVIDIINCI has been so beneficent to us, that since

" We ad last year especlelly reason to b'ess the goodness of

great qualities, which have never been sufficiently appreciated;
Old fixed the basis of a genuine esteem on which our mutual alli-
ance is as firmly established as on treaties, and which renders it
do'bly indissoluble
" Even at the present moment of trouble, it was for me a great
consolation to behold our country enjoy an almost perfect tran-
quillity, while the torch of war was kindled hi other States, and
there spread its ravages anew. We believed it necessary to aban-
don for a time our good city of Dresden, and fix our abode at
Leipzic, which is no great distance. We hoped that we could
continue there to apply our labours to the Government of our
faithful subjects rthe mote so, as according to the course the war ,
had taken, au hostile invasion •of our country was by no Ineeuel
probable. 1
" We were so much the more painfully Affected at beholding

From Paris Papers, which have been received to 1
the 13th, we lay before our Readers a copy of the
24th French Bulletin, from which it is obvious that
we may soon expect to hear of a most sanguinary and 1
import Ant conflict betwixt the contending armies.— 1
NAPOLEON alledges it will decide the fate of the Aus- 1
trio Monarchy ! Most probably it will, but his own I
fdte also hangs on the event ! —We are concerned to I
learn by this document, that Davousr has made him- 1
s:11 master of a small island in the Danube. Every
rlvi acquisition of this kind facilitates the means of ;
the enemy to pass that Riier, and it was surely of
importance that no force sbduld have been permitted
to be put in circumstances threatening the flank of
the Archduke, while opposed by the main body of
the enemy opposite to Ebersdorff.
The enemy has constructed three bridges from the
southern bank of the Dantibe to the island of Labels,
which is again united to the northern bank by several
bridges. The first-mentioned bridges it was not,
perhaps, possible for the Austrians to prevent from
being constructed; but we confess we feel ourselves
surprized that they should, without opposition, have
permitted the construction of the others —This regret,
however, may be owing to our ignorance.
Of the other contents of these Papers we need say

little. Capri, on one side of thi bay of Naples, had
been summoned to surrender, at the time that Ischia,
on the other, was attacked. The Russian army was in
the Palatinate of Cracau, on the 28th of last month ;
and a Proclamation of BONAPARTE'S Ring of SAXONY
commends, in fulsome terms, the valour of his sub-
jects in the supposed expulsion of their invaders ;
who, in fact, voluntarily retired, in order to strengthen
the main army under the Archduke CUARLES.

Letters of a late date which have been received
from Petersburgh, via Hamburgh, mention, that the

Emperor ALEXANDER, with the Grand Duke Cow-

STANTINE, Count RONIANZOF, and a numerous suite,
accompanied by the Duke of FRIOLI (Marshal Du-
Poe), were preparing to leave that city for the army
in Gallicia, and that events of great importance to
the world might be expected soon to take place.
It is also said, there were no grounds to hope that
ALEXANDER would change his present system of po-
litics; that CAULINCOMIT was too active and in-
triguing; and that he was continually surrounded by
the French party. The idea of possessing European
Turkey, and placing his brother CONSTANTINE upon
the Throne of Constantinople, tended not a little
towards retaining in him a disposition favourable to
NAPOLEON.

The following letter, received last night from Spain,
contains same important information, on the accu-
racy of which the public may rely
" RONDA, JUNE 26.

gg VICTOR has passed the Tagus unhurt, and the
joint forces of WELLESLEY and CUESTA have allowed
him to escape with greater ease from his trap than
Sour did from Oporto. CUESTA'S advanced guard 1
has passed the Tagus in pursuit, and 'that of VESEGAS
(whose head-quarters are in Consuegra) in Ocana.
But BLAKE., who attacked Zaragoza on the 17th, was
driven back with loss, but without disorder, to Bei-
,chite, and on the 18th we learn by a letter from Valen-
cia, that he wrote froth Calanda these short but em-
phatic words : Ti. joint army of Arraign and Valencia

We are told that families of traitors ale quitting Ma-

drid with precipitation, aild if the disaster at Belchite

does not enable them to maintain the liner of the
Tagus, it is unlikely that the French will fall back to
that of the Ebro, which they occupied last year. Sir
ANTHER WELLESLEY accounts for his dela/ by want
of money and of shoes ! His first project, wtich was
clearly the best, was to march directly to the North
of the Tagps and intercept Vtcroa's retreat by Al-
raaraz. But to this the Spanish General, who is very

peremptory in his opinion, would not agree, and said,
that unless WELLESLEY came down to Paidajos,•and
formed a junction with him in order' to attack the
..r.enay in front, he xould not wait for the movements
of the English, but attack separat?ly, and without
any reference to Sir ARTHUR.S plan of operations—.
Sir ARTHUR agreed, but on arriving at Abrantes once
more remonstrated, and the precious time was lost in
arranging a plan, the object of which was destroyed
by VICTOR'S unmolested retreat."
