FRANCE.
The President has returned to
Paris, after visit to Rouen and
Havrc. IndiSpoSition of some
what cholcra,ic character threw a
gloom over the termination of his
visit to Hayre.
Paris, and surrounding districts,
in conformity of the new law, have
been relieved from martial law, and
tranquility perfectly maintained du-
ring the week.
The French funds have been well
sustained, and in many branches of
business decided Improvement has
been exhibited.
The French Government has re-
ceivel information that Austria has
applied to Bavaria for assistance,
and that the latter power was about
to send it.
Troops left at Rome by Oudinot
have exhibited strong dissatistac-
ton, at no. being permitted to re-
turn TO France. The object of the
expedition having been accomplish
cd, they deem it not only an act of
injustice, but Of cruelty to detain
them longer from their families and
friends.
A letter received at Paris from
Vienna, states that the Government
had resolved to negotiate with the
HungarianS.
4 council Of Ministers was held at
Paris on Tuesday morning, for the
consideration Of important questions
of foreign policy. They have had
information that the Bavarian Gov
crnmcnt intended to march 10000
men to Vienna, to capture that cap
ital while the Austrian troops were
operating in Hungary.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
At Vienna, on the 18th, an official
despatch from the Russian General
was published, giving an account of
a battle between his forces and BEN,
in which the Hungarians were total
ly defeated, having one thousand
killed, and leaving in the hands Of
the Russians five hundred prisoners.
BEN himself was found and nearly
captured. The Russians captured
seven field pieces, two standards,
and Bcm's carriage, which contain
ed important dispatches from Kos
south, in which he urges him to en-
cite the Turks against the Russians
The Russian General states his loss
at "A killed and LOG wounded. This
despatch is no doubt falsifcd, and
the action is obviously grossly cxag-
gerated.
Accounts from Vienna are of much
interest. The entrance of the Hun
garians from Comorn into Raab, is
fully confirmed, and accounts only
differ as to the amount of booty
which was secured in or near Raab
by the Hungarans.
