ment positively gave, on the Sd instant, the
Stimulated notice Of the cessation OF the ar

seauently hostilities might have recomnenc-
ed Yesterday. Isis added, that the arch
duke Charles published an address TO the
Austrian army on resignipg the command,
speaking in the highest terms OF prince John
Of Lichtenstein, his successor. Some OF toe
papers have already raised the most unbe-
coming cry against the archduke CHARTS
the hero Charles, whom theyrecently almost
deifed. We cannot follow themFln these
transitions. The archduke Charles may
have been weak but We know nothing OF
the matter. TsJ generals whose advice he
followed, may have been cabal but we
know nothing of thar. Prince John OF
Lichsenstein may be much ADLER man
but we know nothing of that. If the war
be renewed, we hope Austria viii be sue.
cessiul under whoever may be entrusted
with the command of her armies. But 1t is
surely as unjust as ungracious to arralgn
prince. whose character has been hitherto
unimpeachable, merely because he discon-
tinue d the war before we wished him; and
70 cxtol, at the expense OF his character,
successor of whom we know nothing, except
that he is in power, and is about 10 renew
the war and even that we know on doubt
iul authority.

The mysterious veil which has covered
the negotiations between Austria and France
is at length drawn aside, and an appeal to
arms has been once more resolved upon by
the emperor Francis. This mportan, in e.
ligence has certainly reached his majesty's
ministers. The archduk- Charles no long
er commands the Austrian armies, and
prince JoEn Of Lichtenst5in has been declar-
ed generalissmo, via full powers. An OK.
fetal communication declaring this change,
and at the same time announcing the deter
n1ination Of the Austrian government to
perscvere in the contest at all risks rather
than Weld 20 the arrogant demands of Ma
polcon, was on Sunday evening received by
Mr.. Canning. This we State as fact,
which cannot be contradcrcd.
THE Day.]
august 26.
We this day resume our extracts from
the German papers to the 14th, received
Yesterday. The Austrian army is again re-
presented as very formidable in numerical
strength. 1t is said hat it will soon amount
to $4,000 men, independent Of the Land
wehr. This army is posted along the east
ern banks Of the river Match the centre is
stated to be at Cremsle; the right a; o.
mutz and the left at Holtsch.
The report of the renewal of hostilities
between France and Austria was repeated
yesterday with, increased confidence. l:
was further stated ii the ministerial circles
last night, that prince Stahremberg had ac-
knowedged the receipt Ct private letters,
announcing an aclua! engagement, n which
the French were defeated.
Letters from Paris, of so late date as
the l7th, have been received. They state
that peace between Austria and France was
agreed ON the 10th; but accounts from Vi
emma of the 12.h 1.-TWO day later positively
assert, as VIC noticed yesterday, that no
such event had taken place.
We have received American papers and
letters to the 9th last month. A letters
from Boston, of the Esd, is written under
the iull conviction that no war would result
from the impeachment to the negotiation,
and observes, that the ultimate arrangement
must be suspended until the arrival of Mr..
Jackson, as, under the present circumstan-
ces, the government could not renew the |
discussions with Mr.. Eiski ne, both from
motives Of delicacy to him, and from the
proper respect to its own character and dig
nifty.
