Carr. Gokpes who arrived here on Saturday
in the hip Highland Mary in 35 days from BORDEAUX,
has favoured us with the Monteur, and other Paris
papers to the Goth November, and the Bordeaux pa
pers to the 2Sth of the fame month
The intelligence which they contain is Of the high
eft importance the Political VERDI and 70 aitonil,-
ing, that it difficult believe that are relating
facts.
The event which fra attracts our attention, is the
rapid advance ofthe French Grand army to near vi
ensa We do not perceive by any Of the papers
have received, that the Emperor of the French lad
actually entered Vienna, bur he withiR few
leagues Of that capital, and enemy to oppofe him.
In fa2 he snly delayed his entry, in order to adud
fome ceremonias, and to make it more foienin and
imprefive. II will appear incredible that mighty
empire fhould be overthrown in fx zvsels, and with
battle in which the ancient valour of the
ton difplayed The public are already in pof-
feiion Of the operations of the French army up to
the capituation OF Um, Immediately after that
event the grand army preed forward for the capital
of the Aufran empire. The reliance which 1t expe-
renced is detailed in the bulletins of the army which
we fhall hereafter notice. That it could not have
bcen eonfderabie the rapid advance of the French,
affords eoncluiive evidence. The battles which were
fought, reiembIe, of fkrmilhng for potts,
than battles which were to determine the fate of .
mighty empire.
From the accounts publifhed in the French bulle-
tins 1t appears that the meeting and defeating their
enemy were the fame. The modern Cafar, may ia
limitation Of the ancient, fay ven, vidi, vci the
Auftrisn cabinet appears lels COMPOUNDED, than
the armies are difmaysd. The Emperor of Auaria
abandoned his capital the approach of the French,
and retired TO Bohemia. We cannot ia this place

known i'll the diplomatic circles of Paris and related
to us by a gentleman ofveracity from France. Some

In Italy the French arms have in every infiance
been attended with fuccefs, bat the Arch Duke
Char ss has commended with Maffena like folder,

to be the determination of the Autriap and Ruflian

The king OF Prunis, notwithstanding all the fan
guine hopes entertained Of his becoming mspaber

copquefable hatred of Auftria. Every .xerton we
