HAMBURG, APRIL 1--we stopped the
Press yesterday afternoon to announce the
arrival OF Hamburg papers to the goth inst.
The only important intelligence they con.
tam is, that The Russian Charge d'atfaires
a. Vienna has declared, that the Emperor
OF Russia was determined, in the event of
war between .Aastria and France, to take
a. a. IL.
too Eluch foundation for this statement,
though It's appearance in paper 81 direct
w under French influence is certainly cal.
oulated to excite sumo doubts upon the sub
ject.
May 3--Some more Du;ch papers have
been received, wLicn contain interesting in
tclligcnce, but no account OF any blow having
been struck. Inc archdukf Charles, ac-
curdng To the confession Of the enemy,
proceeds W tn great c. luton and deibera-
ton s appears 10 be strengthening his po-
sition between the Ian aud the Iser. But
the French seem TO be very imperfecty ac-
quaintcd with his movements or intentions.
o. the positions of The French army we are
furnished w,th more ample information.
i he main bouy of the enemy is on the lett
bank Of the Dansbe, and it should seem
as If they would endeavour TINS war to
push forward IN that direction The Ba-
varians and Oudinot's corps were IN Bava-
ria when the archduke crossed the Inn,
bu, they fell back Immediately 10 the Lech
on pul pose TO draw the arcbduke on, in
VIII ch case the French force on the north
bank Of the Danube would Immediately
have thrown itself in his rear. But his rot.
al highness had too much sagacty 30 fall
into the snare. The French force on the
north bank of the Danube occupies line
from Bareu.h to Ratisbon. Bon1parte set
offon the 9th for Delhngsn, to which place
the king OF Bavaria had repaired Oh the
18th. He was to proceed from thence to
Douauwerth and lngolstadt.
One important circumstance we collect
from these papers, that the Austrian GO
yernment are not only acting with vgour
in their m ltary preparations, bat that the
agps Is they have made 10 the people Of
Germany have produced considerable
impression.
