GERMAN PIPERS.

13•NaS or TN ELBE, JULY 28.--(Prisite
Grivyvadence.l—For almost a whole week wady
•soIIS ill good informatiun continued to doubt
tile asithewitity of the miserable armistice con.
eisi est by the weak Emperor Francis, as some
, übtte papers, particularly the Berlin Gs.
a le, scarcely mentioned its conclusion on the
ISt'i if J sty, and not on the 126, as given by
or,ters of the French Minister in the Iloatburgh
Correspondenten, of the 21st instant. These
doubts have now, however, vanished, as there
are certain advices of the Preliminaries of Peace
haring been also agreed upon. The armistice in
the territorial dominions is said to contain the
cli:4 conditions of this unexpected Peace.
The weakness of the tinilkeror Francis has ac.
e2lerated this event, and the heroic Archduke
Charles was at first wholly against it, but all his
representations were fruitless. The threats of
It'iss.a. and the advance of Iter troops and those
of Poland to the confines of Moravia, are like-
ni,e mated tit have precipitated that eventful
Inci,ure. Li a note addrested by the Emperor
Francis himself to the Governor of Brutin,
skirted in the Berlin Gazette, this weak Monarch
owns that the centre and right wing of the Arch-
duke Charles's army had been unconquered, and
preserved an unconquerable positiqn at the foot of
the Bisa.ii mountains, in Moravia. In the battle
of the 7th, the Archduke Charles is said to have
taken 10 pieces of cannon, 12 ea4les, and many

prisJiters, from the euenty. Francis thus COll-

gained a much greater than at Aspens.
At the 114 no time the Austrians were again ad.
vaneing into Saxony, and had driven the Duke of
Abrantes with great loss from Bayreuth; the Ty.
ruleans and Voralbergliers both made an attack
open the enemy, and Count Giulay had re.uccu.
pied Gratz ; and in an action on the 6th, the Aus-
trians made 6...)0 prisoners ; yet all these advantage*
have proved of no avail, and the brave Tyreleans
and Voralbergliers ale abandoned to their fate.
The co.sserpiesicew of the Armistice of Zi'aim,
ought to wake the infatuated Emperor of Russia
tremble fur the safety of Isis domiisions, since N.A.
pules's' has already Mask himself his neighbour, by
petting up liis 'eagles io the ilea ly acquired king-
dom of (Lancia, in spite of the co-,i;wration and
occupation of that kingdom by t!►e Russian army.
This ought to wren the eyes of the deluded in-
sulted Alexander. The 1) !tch truui►s lately cu.
operating with the Saxons and Westiihrisans are
now on their :narch to Bruno, and the coasts of
the North Sea. Th. King of Westphalia, with
his army, is exported in Hanover ; and H4lll.
burgh is also to have a gerrison of so•nc thousands
of Dutch and IVestpl►eliae troops, and the Date
of Abrantes is expected to fix his hcad•gnarters
there. 'l' no great number of Americans lately ar-
rived at Tuaniuge•e, have occasioned a great fall
in all Colonial produce in the II smliurgh market,
but they have risen 11.11 Ce the , misfire..
The poor Hanoverians still hop t,, have th it
deliverance soon effected, as their despair is exces-
sive, since they have been informed that a con.
seription for the service of France and the King
of Westphalia, will take place in Hanover, iu
1810.

The inhabitants all execrate the French yoke,
and adore their lawful Sovereign, the King of
Great Britain. As soon as a small force landed
at Cuxhaven, serious disturbances took place in
llanover and at Bremen. In the former place
the people stopped the waggons with money,
which the French wanted to take away.
LANSBIRG, JuLy 19.—0 n the 11th, 4000
Tyrolean insurgents attacked the Bavarian cordon
near Murnau, at most 400 strong, and repulsed
them. Yesterday morning they occupied 3lurnau.
Major Zeimer immediately put in requisition BO
find of cattle, 1000 ells of linen, 30 bales of cloth,
hOO pair of shoes, 23 saddle horses, and 6000 flu.
Tins in money. A great quantity of corn was seized
in the barns at Montan, as well as the neighbour.
iag villages plundered.
In the evening, at seven o'clock, Count Arco
came n ith a corps of troops from Benedict Bayern,
and by a violent •fire of grape shot, put the insur-
gents to flight, nith the loss of several hundreds
killed and wounded, ninety prisoners, and two
pieces of cannon, and pursued them u far as the
p iss Scharnitz. They saved little of the requisi-
tions, and the Bavarian troops who engaged them
..re mostly recruits. _ _ _

Meatcat, Jur.Y 19.—Theugh the Bavarians
apprised the Austrians, in the valley of the Inn,
of the armistice, still, reinforced by great numbers
of insurgents, they attacked, on the 17th, Bri.
gadier Count Arco, with great violence near Mi-
chel and Miirtiau, but were repulsed with great
loss, after an obstinate contest.
