French and Austrian Plenipotentiaries, who are

meet at Brunn ; and General Count Andreossy,

Nothing has yet transpired of the neseciations
which have already taken place. It is only re-

Affairs. His Excellency repairs every day to
Schoinbrunn, and spends several hours with his

JULY 18.--At the pre+cnt moment, when part
of the army goes into cantonments, and the other
is about to encamp, it is thought proper to giro
as much publicity as possible to the fullowiug Or.

" The approach of the harvest, and the necessity of re.

Duke of Ragusa shall in future be denominated the

whilst under the command of the late Dake of
Montebello.
JuLy 17.—The Emperor visited yesterday the
field of battle of Wagram. His Majesty was
struck with grief at the deplorable state to which
the fire of both armies has reduced the tieiebbeur,
ing villages ; and, it is midi, ordered every possi.
ble assistance to be afforded to their inhabitants.
A new demand for lint and rags has been made to
the citizens of Vienna. Too many praises catmint
be bestowed on the ladies of that city, for
their zeal and humauity in obeying, and even
anticipating the injunctions of the Govern-
ment, for the relief of the wounded. The-great.
est part of the army is about to encamp, and they
already begin to build barracks fur the I pe: 'al
guard. The negociations proceed, and the littlo
information that transpires, although by no
means authentic, is sufficient to dispel every sp.
prehension of the renewal of hostilities. Mmy
necessary and considerable sacrifices, on the part
of Austria, arc mentioned; but they are th.." price
of peace, which
.can only be obtained acid se.
cured through them. It is also stated that the
Emperor Francis agrees to send 60,000 men to.
join the French army in an expedition against
Turkey; but this is inereky a rumour, which
wants confirmation.

Tux 29th Fren,:h Bulletin, which was very
umexpeCtedly received at a Lae hour •last night,
skews that there is yet a considerable degree of
mystery hanging over the affairs of Germany.
NAPOLEON appears to he cautiously on his guard
at Vienna, and so will certainly continue until
a final udjustment is effected with Austria.—
'['hat his continued presence in that capital is ne.
cessary, can, however, by no means be deemed
certain ; and it is certainly probable, that he will
hasten to that quarter, against which the operatiuus
of our Expedition aro directed, of which no fur.
ther official intelligence had been received this
morning. •
