Extract of a letter from Vienna, Janaa-


{. AS our differences with Bavaria, are
not finally adjusted, and the critical situa-
ton of the continent demands at least vigil
lance and precautlon, our court has order
ed the formation of three armies upon the
frontiers Of Bavaria. The first is collect
ing in Bohemia, under the command of
Prince Litchtenstein. tits composed OF 8
regiments OF cavalry, and infantry, and a
large train of artillery, from the arsenal OF
Badweiss, and other fortresses under the
command of the General Of Artillery,
Swarkinger. The second army under the
command of Lieutenant General Prince
Swartzenbe, &, is Professionally assembling
near Lintz, and will consist of twenty thou
sand men. The troops for this army are
drawn from the garrisons of the Upper and
Lower Austria. The artillery Of this
camp is to be commanded by General
Schrebag. The third army is collecting in
Upper Suabia and i'll the Tyfol, and is to
be more numerous than either Of the for
mer but is commander is not yet ap-
pointed. Its said here that these, though
purely defensive measures have occasioned
the Iwarlike preparations OF the French in
Italy, and the augmentation OF their troops
along the Rhine. We are however per-
fectly convinced here, that unless a closer
connection Stall take place with Russia or
France, Prussia or Bavaria, shall give. still
greater provocation than any yet offered,
our government is determinedto preserve
its neutrality. Five regiments are ordered
to march towards the Turkish Frontier, to
cause our EASTERN provinces TO be respected
bv the rebels under Paswan Oglu, and the
revolted Ianissaries IT Belgrade, to make
dailyincursions upon their borders to col
lect plumber. The rumor of an offensive
and defensive alliance with Russia is very
common in our diplomatic circles and the
assemblage of three Numerous Russian
armies is generally believed, exclusive Of
the army in Livonia One army is collect
ing in Noluinia, and another In Pado-
lia."
