miseed at that time to the princes OF the con-
federation of the Rhine, to hold their con-
t;arents ready for marching in a few days
after Areuuisition for that purpose should

his arguments, by remarks upon the great
inuuieru6e and uncertainty respecting their
relations between the two courts created by

razette's published in the state of the Rhe-
n;sh confederation. On the 9TH of January

lions. had Instantly ordered an inquiry res
pecting all tie objects which produced the
mission of M. de Mier to Vienna. The
ambassador will as early as possible inform
M. de Champaguy of the result of those en-
quiries.
In conversation, which the undersigned
had with the minister for foreign affairs, he
did not conceal from him, that the appre-
tensions which at the close of the month OF
January, he had mentioned to him as to the
effect which would be produced at Vienna
by the arrangement in the Rhenish confede-
ration, were already realized in part
when he added that the unacconntable In,
formation, which had just been received
respecting the junction of considerable corps
of French troops IN Bavaria, and the march
of other corps towards the middle of Germa-
nv and north of Italy, had induced his ma
;ssrxy RI take several defensive measures
