The resignation of the Archduke Charles,
the evident result Of discomfort, is still at
tributed to the state ofhis health. The ply
sicians, say the German papers, will not an-
swer for his life, If he continues to take up
on himself the charge of the war. 1t is diff.
hcult to believe in this new version. and we
see much more clearly the cause Of his re-
signation in the state of his army, than in
the state OF his health. Has he not him self
limited at the motives of his retreat in his
order of the day! Does he speak of any
thing else but his profound grief at the stu
alton Of affairsi Be that as it may, the
Prince is now at Teschen.
The Archdukc John is burthened with the
enormous task which the Generalissimo
thought above his strength. He has copccn-
trated his army at Prague, attempting to
increase it by levies made in Bohemia by
the most violent means, such as tearing men
from their homes. Soldiers, money, FORAGE
labor, all arc exacted by the Austrian GO
vernment with excessive rigor. Bohemia.
