In ISIICONO EDITION yesterday, we communicated
the very important intelligence received by Govern-
ment, of Ausvata having deiared war against
FRANCE,and joined the Allies with an army of
180,000 men. This intelligence would, indeed,, be
important, if it could be relied on ; bat from the
channel through which it has been conveyed, it ap-
pears not to have obtained much credit. Captain
MULLER, a Hanoverian Officer, arrived Yesterday
with dispatches for Count Mussreit, and who also
brought accounts to Government from Heligoland,
which island he left on the 9th ift,t. The following
statement was soon afterwards circulated :
