fou whatever it was, occaiioned the immediate al
femblnr of grand council of ftate at which the
French ambaiisdor afiiied, well admiral nc
Winter and the generals Marmont and Dumonceau.
Though this council broke up very late, the grand
peniouary thought proper Immediately its con-
ciuiion to foiicit all audience of the Pruan minher,
which lated upwards of two hours and the latter in
the morning dispatched courier TO Berlin. The
purport OF this meeting not potitivey known, 3ui
i, is hrongy run,oured that the French and Dutch
military chiefs have received their final inltruaions
preparatory to their ,,rparture.
The Hamburg mail due on "Wednesday, ar
rived this morning. The military preparations
ON the part Of Ruflia continue with undated
activity. BY letters from ConfantinoPe we
learn, that fevcrai Rufian fhips OF war and tran.
fports, with 10000 Troops on board, were a.
bout to fail from the Black Sea to Corfu. Sevc-
raj corps of Rniiian troops were alto on their
march to the fouthern frontiers of Poland. |
From Corfu, Ruliia will be enabled to make a
formidable diveroD in Italy, whillt her troops,
marching through Poland, will be enabled to
act in the moR effe6tual manner in conjunction
with the main body ofthe Aufrian army. No
thing new is Gated respecting the preparations
Of Au(tria and a letter from Vienna even talk
ed of her affirming the attitude of armed neu-
trality but this is extremely improbable, al
though it may be urged by the Auftrian cao-
net as pretext for their preparations, until the
feafon is ripe for action.
Bonaparte had demanded of the Aultrian ca
binet the location of the ornaments going for
ward in the imperial ttates he has fkewiie re-
quired that portion of thofe troops collected
on the frontiers Of Italy, and which menace
the tranquility ofthat country, ihould be with
drawn. Speaking to the Autrian minitter late
ly on the iubjed of the military preparations
of his court, the latter afiured him that the
movements alluded to were connected with a
refolution on the part of his imperial majeRy
to maintain tri6t neutrality, and that they
were rendered necefary by the fate ofthe Tur-
kifh provinces, by the armament of Rui1la, &c.
but were without hoftile reference to France.
Bonaparte hatiiy replied, that he was aware
of the falfehood of the execute, and that his
mater fhould be cautious how he again called
him into the field.
All officers in the Auftrian fervice abfent from
their regiments, were ordered to rejon them on
