(, of which is requisite, Ia order 20 bring

II. Iris stated, that military efforts
would tie of no avail. If the Austrian ar
mics should enter the field less than 800, ooo
strong"
We entertain too high an opinion OF the
resources of the court of Vienna, 10 doubt
that the Austrian army may be Pu. IN
short time upon such respectable foos'nS
as TO enter the field in sufficient force. -------
Being In alliance with Russia, aad certain
of the good faith of thas power, It WIN
have only France to oppose, aud VIII NOT
be under any great necessity OF maintain
ing force to observe Prussia.
It,is very true, that the French, as soon
as they shalt see war 20 be inevitable, VIII
put themselves in motoa; aud that Aus
tria viii have TO sustain their@tlrst attack
till the Russians join them. But, as the
Russian troops are ready to march, abody
of them may, be detached immediately,
which shall advance by forced marches 10
assist in the protection Ut the house OF
Austria, aud to ress. the first impetuosity
OF the torrent.
9. The finances are next mentioned IN
the plan. TIE difficulty IN regard to them
must be in great measure removed by
the subsidy from England. Besides, 1t Is
certainly TO be expected, that in this, as
in what regards the complexion OF the ar
my, the court of Vienna Will not fail to
employ all its uaeans and resources.
lhe contingent of Russia would be On
the whole, II5 900 men. Deducting IS
Thousand for the kingdom of Naples, there
would remain $4,000 to act 10 Germany,
which might b. conveniently formed into
two armies, one of $4,000 men to assem-
bic OIL the froutiers of Gallicia, npPosite.
TO Lamberg the other Of zoc Geo, to as.
semble along the Bong, opposite Lublin.
The first of these armies might, upon
the first appearance of hostilities, detaeh
the column mentioned, which should march
across Gallicis towards the Danube, to as.
sist 10 opposing thesfrst attempts OF the
French upon the hereditary deminiens IN
Germany. when IL .h oald have arrived Ia
the vicinity of Ratisbon /; its subsequent
movements would be determined by the
condition of the Austrian array.
The rest of the Russian army should
follow Immediately, In order to reach its
destination with the smallest possible loss
of time.
The other army would march by Lublin
aud Cracow.
Il were to be wished that we should
know what routes the court of Vienna
would particularly desire that these two
armies should take. In al cases, their
marches should be respectively so arrang
ed, tina, they may not meet at Teschen.
As to their operations, the first migh,be
employed on the left bank of the Danube,
in communication with the Aus,rians up-
on the Opposite bank, having It's leftupon
Donaawerth.
The second army, upon arriving in
Bohemia, would proceed into Franconla,
or wherever the state of affairs should re.
qulre' its preseace.
The court of Petersburg is about to
send confidential person TO Paris tn
make last endeavor to persuade Bona
parte to listen TO reasonable conditions.
Should these be accepted, il may prevent
the war. But, in the mean time, netting
is TO be neglected for it is certain, that
we shall succeed only in proportion as we
put ourselves 10 respectable position.
And we ought to be ready to begin the
momep, the negotiation terminates.
