superficial extent of which is not accuratety *seer.

Before the commencement of the war, the whole
Austrian Monarchy contained, according to Lich-
teiiiteiti, only 10,936 square milesl and 24,000,-100
inhabitants. It appears therefore that the French

GERMAN PAPEBS.

LETRIN, AUG. 9.—The French fleet, which
bad taken a position under Fort Lillo, has partly
ascended the Scheldt as high u Antwerp, and ta.
ken an advantageous station, free from any at-
tack of the enemy.
French troops arrive daily at Ghent and at
Antwerp. Tlit right bank of the Scheldt, from
Antwerp to Bergea.op-Zoom, is covered with
Dutch troops. Gi-decant Dutch Flanders is like-
wise covered with troops. The whole of this force
Was expected shortly to be able to act on thu of.
fentive.

Ltoss, Jeer 26.—We learn from the shores
of the Mediterrauean, that a considerable number
of British transports with troops, which were for-
=ray In Sicily, have sailed for Gibraltar, from
whence they arc to proceed to Lisbon, to rein.
force the army under the command of Sir Arthur
Wellesley.
Some detachments of the army of Gen. Stuart
have been embarked, probably to return to Sicily,
as the ex edition failed of success in its projects
against Naples.
JVLY 31.—A1l the redoubts which
the Austrians had thrown up on the right bank of
the Danube, between Engencau and Presburgh,
have been razed. A considerable quantity of
baggage has been sent to Raab. It is said the
Emperor Napoleon will transfer his headquarters
thither, and from thence it is inferred that the Em.
peror of Austria, who is at Cornett), will have an
interview with him at Raab, to treat of the condi-
tions of peace.
Auo. 2.—Nothing certain respecting war or
peace is yet known ; the price of colonial me.
chandize which is brought from Trieste increases
daily, as all the warehouses iu that city have been
sequestrated.
The Emperor continues to construct strong
Wee-ale-pont on the left bank of the Danube;
and every thing is prepared in such a manner
that the troops may be put is motion at the first
The Saxon Major-General Hartisch died) on the
24th ult. in consequence of his wound.
Auci. s.—Raab was, it is said, in the first in.
;glance fixed upon as the place for the negotiations
for peace; but now they say it is to be at Aiwa.
burg, in Hungary.
Between the bridges facing the Spitz, a French
camp is forming fur '20,000 men. The Empress
of Austria ii arrivel at Comoro, on a visit to the
Emperor Francis.
Napoleon has visited the mountainous districts
la the environs of thin capital, and did not return
to Schoenbrunn before 10 at night, when he at.
tended at the play of Phtedre.
The bridge near Nussdorf is quite restored.
Near Lieaig and Shiesig, behind Schoenbrunn, a
division of French troops has occupied a camp.—

• loseaucx, Auras 2.—The submission and ecru.
'Mien of the Trig goes on rapidly. General of
Division Rouger, with his corps, entered Side-
line!) this day, without having met with any of
the insurgents. He marches to-morrow fur Stet-
genzen, and on the 4th will enter Brizen. The
Austrian Gen. De 8ie..1 has agreed to evacuate it
en the morning of the 3d, and to continue his re.
treat, so that on the 6th be may be at Greiffeu.
boorg, in Carinthia.
The Marshal :Dake of Dantzic remains with
an imposing furcaot Inspetick, in order to direct
from thence the whole operations, and to send
troops to the points where they may be wanted.
The Bavarian battalions of reserve will next week
furnish considerable reinforcements. The disarm-
ing of the districts which are occupied continues
with activity. The Duke of Dantzic yesterday
issued a severe decree, by which he orders that all
the arms, powder, itc. without exception shall he
sent from hence by the 10th instant, to the chief
towns of the bailiwicks ; the districts who do
not give up their arms, or who shall retain any,
shall be subject to military execution, and shall
besides be punished must severely.
Exact lists Shull be made out of the inhabitants
under arms. All the commanders of companies
are summoned to the head-quarters ; these who du
nut appear by the 10th, will be treated as obsti-
sate rebels ; their houses pulled down, their fati-
ties banished for ever, their property confiscated,
sect themselves tried by a military coinmiuion
within twenty-four hours. The districts are made
responsible for all the outrages that may be cum.
witted upon the troops. This decree has been
pub!ished in the Vuralberg, as also in the wallies
of Pleven and Zeller.
The commission appointed by his Majesty not
having yet arrived at Itispruck, the Marshal Duke
of aintzic has appointed two; the uue military,
the other of Government. Major-Gener#l Baton
Richberg presides over both. (Abeille r:s Nord,
August 16.)
According to advice" received yesterday, the
King was on the 7th at Ossendegl, where, at this
time, a considerable force of French and Dutch
troops are assembling ; the environs are so full
of troops, that from 100 to 15!) are quartered
with each peasant; great preparations are making
for the purpose of undertaking some important
affair against South geveland. Tne head-quar.
tcrs of his Majesty were expected at gossendehl,
those of the General in Chief of the French
troops are at Capi Ile. Already there is a consi.
doable force between Antwerp and Williamstadt.
-(ldeas, dug,. W.)
The third division under General Deroy has ar.
rived at lnspruck, and encamped before the city.
Their march from Salzburgh, through Pinzgau
and Zillertbal, over lofty muuntains, was bold and
spleudid. Soldiers carried three-pounders over
steep eminences, sad so secured the march of the
tlivisiou. At one time they were stopped by a
bridge over theSalza being broken, while on the
opposite side the rebels were entrenched. The
Cummanaler immediately called upon his troops to
volaairtor forcing the passage ; ou which the bat-
fading Iluttler (light infantry rushed into the wa-
ter, clambered over the piles of the bridge, and
notwithstanding the fire of the rebels, stormed the
letreucheren.ts. The cowardly rebels fled howling,
concealed theauelvcs behind bushes and rocks,

from the trite covers. of these valiant assa. A
painting ought to eternise the exploit.
BANES or TIM Emu, Avo. 18.-98 the 12th
instant, 57 prisoners of the corps of Brunswick
Dell were brought bound and led by French gen-
d'armes ; they werein two vessels, which a French
Captain of Marines, Assisted by the Danes, took
possession of near Ellslette, where some Danish
skippers had purposely run them aground.—
Among them is the t•eorctary to the Duke, and
one half of thew are menials, or drivers of the ar-
tillery horses. Those who were soldiers have
been pardoned on condition of entering the D►vtch
service ; the rest are sent to Magdeburg. The
French and Danes 'stripped the Duke's soldiers
of almost all their clothes, and left them nearly
naked.

From Holland we have no news but what is
tarnished by the Gallic Batavien Journals, which
arc now conducted with as much falsehood as the
French Monitsur. Flushing and the Island of
Walchcren will, it is hoped, remain in possession
of Great Britain till a general peace.
It is the Prince of Neufchatel, Alexander Bur-
thier, whom Bonaparte intends to make King of
Switzerland.

All the paragraphs in the Ilamburgh Papers
about celebrating Napoleon's birthday arc in-
serted by the French. Not a single private
house was illuminated at Ilamburgh, except the
Danish Post master's. Sorrow and regret appeared
on every countenance when the French Minister
ordered the guns to be fired.

French Ambassador, on account of the recent
glorious victories obtained by the French armies.
An English squadron continues in the Gulph of
Finland ; five ships of the line and three frigates
lie at anchor before Revel : as yet they have not
dared to make any attack, as all fit preparations
for defence have heen•made on every point. The
crews of some English sloops have ventured on
shore, and seized cattle and fresh provisions ; but
they always retreated on the approach of troops.
Several merchantmen have been taken by the
English cruizers; and yet, a few clays back. two
Russian vessels, which have been lying at Cron.

Kt:mewl, Ava. o.—The Voralberg insurgents,
who were hitherto in possession of the mountains
and woods to the south of this place, have sud-
denly returned to their homes, amid loini curses
of their leaders and the Austrians. Only a few
hands of vagabonds ramble about, intoxicated with
brandy, and plunder the hamlets and detached
houses. At Rentz all the persons from th, Iller
district, who bad bees arrested by the insurgents
as suspected persons, and dragged thither, have
teen set at liberty, with the declaration, flat as ail
resistance was over, they might go where then
pleased. To-morrow Gen. Picard proccods with

ous Dr. Schneider himself went to the Bavarian
advanced guard, within a league of Uregens, and

collected deputies from the province ; he demeaned
himself very humbly, and appeared to be full of
a ppreheusiun.
PAllli, AUG. B.—M. Dc Champagny has just
set out fur Raab, to fix the last basis of the peace.
