LONDON, Tuly II.
Il is probable that the next accounts from
Germany viii bring intelligence ofthe great
est importance--we do not mean from the
Danube, but from the north of Germany.
II is reported that general insurrection has
broken out in Hanover and Hesse, and that
the Austrians were advancing from Leipsic
on the one hand, and from Wurtzburgh on
the other. for the purpose of giving conf
dence to the insurgents.
The foreign intelligence in the preceding
page, does not communicate any very I'M
portant fact; but is still not without very
consider able interest. 1t shews the DISPOSE
tion Of, the people of Germany, and proves
that they are every where prepared to rise
against the French--from the north to the
south. from the banks of the lake sof Con

early part of The revolution. Hungary was
the source fromwhenee Vienna usually drew
supp,ies--but that sourceis no longer open,
and to-an application in behalf of the CAPT
tai. made by Bonaparte to the archduke
Charles, positive refusal is said to have
been returned.
Whilst, these events are passing in the
southern part of Germany, the northern is
no more disposed to remain quiet under the
French yoke. The progress OF the AustriaEs
in Franconia and Saxonv is already known.
in Westpha!ia and Hesse the spirit of insur-
rection has shewn itself, and the !" insurgent
peasants-ass shey are called, lately broke into
the town of Marburgh on Linn. These pea

rived at Brunn, TO reinforce the. archduke
John at Comorn. This reinforcement is said
ito have enabled him TO advance again, and to
resume his position at Raab. The two great
Austrian armies under the archdukes Charles
and John occupy analmost straight line from
WaRersdorff to Comorn. Presburgh is the
centre of it--Hence the French have made
the greatest efforts to take Presburgh; they
would then have intel posed between the two
armies--Bnt all these efforts have been inef-
