We are indebted to the peliteness OF Mr.
Foster, passenger, for the rperusal of
full file of the Paris +" 6foniteur" from. the
30th July to the 21s.. Aug. :, Ga
In none of these official Gazcttcs in Aug.
do we ind single word of the proceedings
OF the Congress at Prague nor one word
ON the subject OF our Envoys in Russia, er of
the Russian Mediation.
With respect to the relations between
France and Austria, there is not single in
dication OF anity or good understanding -
Added to this, we learn, that letters were
received in Nantz, from Paris. dated from
tue 18th TO the 2lst August, which entrees
~ stated that .dusfria had joined The lilies !;
and thar she had 100000 infantry, and
$4,000 cavalry (these numbers we think
are exaggerated9 ready to take the field.
Many articles IN these papers indicate
this state of things. The emperor of Aus
ei:a continued near his army in Bohemia, *
had, made large prom otiou in the General
Staff Of his army; and his Princes ~ Head
Generals were with his corhs darmce.-
And in the lhofiteW of the 20'h Aug. we
find it emphaticaly stated, that the Elk
change between Augsburg, in Bavaria,
lone OF -Ndhoieon's allies1 aud Vienna had
suddenly fallen very low.--There were Sc
veral other Indirect indications of this sort.
On the part of France we find in every
paper. to the latest dates accounts of the
Continued march of troops of every descrip
ton, artillery, ard munitions of war, for the
grand army while all the cities and posi-
tions occupied by the French and Bavarian
armies, were receiving new notifications, &
having in stores of every description. Add
ed to this, the IHoniteur of the 14th August.
