Viessa, Ave. 18.— The Emperor Napoleon
Intends makiug a short journey into that part of
Hungary occupied by his troops, in order to re-
view the positions of the corps stationed there.
Probably this journey has given rise to the report,
which, however, requires confirmation, that his Ma.
jest, the Emperor Napoleon will have a mire.
rence with the Emperor of Austria in the vicinity
of Raab. The French Emperor, we are likewise
assured, reversed the positions of his army in 'Mo-
ravia and Styria. According to the latest accounts
from Trieste, the English fleet has left the coast

23.—The Emperor Francis has to.day
purchased a variety of valuable jewels, trinkets,
ace. to the amount of a million of llories, which
are no doubt intended for presents, which, after
the signing of peace, will be distributed among
the retinue of the Emperor Napoleon. It is un.
derstood that the Emperor Napoleon has present-
ed the brave Bavarian General Wrede with consi-
d-rable estates in Upper Austria and Carinthia.
That General has his head-quarters still at Lintz.
AUG. 23.—With eager anxiety we expect from
day to (lay the arrival of intelligence that .peace is
concluded. Our course of exchange, which for
some weeks has sefiered no material alteration, is
to-day considerably better. On Augsburgh it is
now '294, last post day it was 300. This im-
provement is to be attributed to the hopes of
peace.—(Correspondent, Sept. 5.)

UPPER BAVARIA, AUG. 23.—The march which
the Duke of Datum, Manual Lefebvre, under.
took over the Bretintirsburg, with the combined
army of French, Bavarians, and Saxons, was ex.
tremely difficult : with dauntless cumage, the
troops advanced on the 6th and 7th of August, to
within two leagues of Brixen. They climbed
mountains which the Tyrolese con.idereil as im.
passable. Bet a narro,v valley, the steep heights
above which were occupied by the insurgents,
rendered any progress impossible. The army
being in great want of provisions, was obliged to
return to Inspruck, where it arrived on the 11th
of August. On the 13th, at sun-rise, all the
neighbouring mountains appeared covered with
insurgents. A battle began, which lasted from
six in the morning till night. Not the courage of
the Tyrolese, but the nature of the place, pre.
vented the brave army of the Duke of Danizic
from giving them a complete defeat. As the army
marched back through the Lower Innthal, they

bitants having fled with their cattle to the moun-
