LITE FOREIGN Ne WS.

From the latest details, relative
TO the armies in Germany, (the most
important of which we have given
in this paper it seems probable.
that the allies. who had retired from
the EIbe in the most perfect order.
principally towards Crossen. made a
stand near Butzen, Cor Budessin)
rhirty-One miles east Of Dresden.
From the French accounts, it ap-
pears, that Bonaparte had cOncen-
trated the principal part of his for
ees in the Observation-Disclosures place;
and that he left Dresden. for his az
my, on the evening of the 10Th of
May. 1t was reasonable, therefore.
to expect, that a general action
would take place on the Goth, and
we find it announced in the Paris
Moniteur of the Goth. that il actual
" took place The result is totally
unknown. except from the general
declaration of Bonaparte, that he
was victorious. A declaration of this
nature. in general terms. without
any detail Of facts, is not, in any
ease. entitled to much credit.
Bernadotte has actually arrived in
Germany, at Stralsund. and 5000
Swedes had advanced to Hamburg.
where Bernadotte is soon expected.
The lower Elbe, in the neighbour
hood of Hamburg. will. undoubted-
", become the theatre Of important
operations.
Bonapnrte has proposed negotia-
ton for a general peace. IL is
worthy ofremaik. that he ranks the
United States on the side of France
with Denmark, king Joseph. and
the eonlederal lion Of the Rhine
There is no evidence. that this pro.
position has been listened 10 by the
allies and their present condition,
renders it exceedingly improbable,
that they will listen to il.
Austria has no, broken off nego.
tatious with either party. She has
raised two armies, one of which has
advanced towards Italy, and the o.
Their wards Bavaria. 1t may be
asked. for what purpose if she in
tends to .ioine France
The Viceroy has been dispatched
to his kingdom of Italy. 1t may "a
Gain be asked, for what purpose !? if
not TO secure it against the Austrian
army The accounts from the allies.
speak confidently Of the friendship
of Austria-Bonaparte is silent on
the subject. Ii is reported, that the
Emperor of Russia and the King of
Prussia, have gone to Prague. II
this be true, they can have no other
object. than to meet the Emperor Of
Austria. Such a meeting, at the
present moment, we should consider.
an auspicious event, TO Europe, and
to the world.
From the cireumstanc OF the
proposal for an armistice having
been promulgated Immediately after
the arrival al Dresden. of the Count
Budna, minister of the Emperor OF
Austria, il is eonjeetured that the
proposition Of a Congress came from
tbe Cont of Vienna. If this is a
fact, Autria must be considered IN
state of neutrality, or she could not
act as mediator.
There is one or two other cir
cumstances, in this proposal for a
Congress, which merit attention
