" The Note which the undersigned, by The army of Marshal BERNADOTTE,<br />
Order of his Most Serene Highness, laid, before<br />
the Diet on the nth of Sept. has suf-<br />
the 3d of Oetober, through the Margra-<br />

arc his dearest wishes,, and what the hopes j Ministry. It is said that the aimy o'f General<br />

Lrted the peace, and' annulled the recess i<br />
of the German Empire, a recess which so<br />
essentia-!iy inteiestecl France, since it was the<br />
result of her mediation.<br />
• The House of Austria thus proceeds<br />
rowa-rtis ifie object she has proposed for herself,<br />
not by circuitous ways, by secret attacks,,<br />
by the;.slow and dark measures of art<br />
and .craft-, but openly and with armed force,<br />
and thisjobjeci is no oilier than to annihilate<br />
the constituiion.-of the German Empiie, de-<br />
Si roy its principles,-pyer-i fa with her troops<br />
the States placed under its. protection, and<br />
on theie ruin to establish her-tyrannical dominion<br />
and ..the..subjection ol Germany.—<br />
The Bavarian territories which 'ex tend Fro'm<br />
the Austrian, frontiers to the banks of the<br />
•Lech, have been long desiieti by the Court<br />
pf. \ ienna. She »has . neglected no endeayptir's<br />
and insinuations, .to obtain the consent'<br />
. of France to take .possession of them.:<br />
'' These attempts she m : ade during the negotiations<br />
for the peace of J.uneviSie, when<br />
j-he Bavarian army , was united with the<br />
Austrian :••' she' made them, after the peate<br />
was 'coiiclucled,: renewed; them during the.,<br />
iicgociatio'tis foi tire regulation of tire indem •<br />
nities ; and, more lately, while she was<br />
making preparations for war, and when she<br />
found that His Majesty the Emperor of the<br />
FREN CH was not to be shaken in his resolution<br />
to maintain the recess' of the empiie,<br />
and the.imegi iiy of the Ba.va i tan possessions,<br />
she threw- herself into the arms of England,<br />
and opened.the'gaies of Germany to the armies<br />
of t'he-Noith.<br />
" When the Emperor of the' FRENCH<br />
learned that invasion of Bavaria, he saw<br />
rhe time for explanation was past, and that<br />
it was nee'essary to ac:; histioops with this<br />
view alone have passed the Rhine, in order<br />
to secure the States of the Electors of B/-<br />
'DK N and Wu RTEMEE RG from a similar<br />
fate. In the moment-, host ever, when the<br />
French troops penetrate into Germany, it<br />
has been the lir.st-eat-e of the Empeior of the<br />
F R E N C H to gi ve the Ge: man Empire new<br />
pledges tot his- views, and - the undersigned<br />
his commission to declaie tliem in his .name,<br />
" " The EMPF.ROR has only one object,<br />
this consists in .repelling the unjust attack,<br />
and restoring the independence of the body<br />

by the usurpations,, unjust acquisitions,<br />
and acts of' violence of tlie' Court of<br />
Vienna. He will retain possession of .none<br />
of the territories of Germany which<br />
may fall into his hands by the (ate of arms.<br />
He guarantees't'o every Prince the independence<br />
of his right and possession ; and he<br />
will not lay down his arms till tlie recess of<br />
the eprpire slrall be restored and confiimed<br />
Oh all its bases, and until Austria .shall. have<br />
renounced tire monstrous claims of sequestration<br />
and incorporation, and yielded the<br />
acquisitions she has made in Suabia contrary<br />

According fo- ; the latest accounts from<br />

S C H W I E N F U R T , OCT. 2.<br />
Maishal BERNADOTTE'S<br />
army arrived,<br />
here yesterday. This day it began to march<br />
for Bamberg. Several Bavarian regiments,<br />
particularly that of the A rchduke CH ARLES<br />
who commands one com jDany in person, are,<br />
together with the Bavarian artillery, united<br />
at Wurtzburg.<br />
The Elector of B A V A R I A has delivered'<br />
the fortressof Wurtzburg into the hands of<br />
Marshal B E R N A D O T T E ; whereupon Count<br />
DE Bo'UL-CHAtrENsTE I N quitted that city,<br />
arid repaired to the head quaitei.s at<br />
Memmingen.<br />
The Bavarian corps, under General Du-<br />
ROC, which had, withdrawn, into Upper<br />
Bavaria, has retired into Franconia; so<br />
that the whole concentrated Bavarian army<br />
has formed a junction with the French.<br />
It was on the 29th of September that ihe<br />
French troops entered the Wur-temburg<br />
territory.<br />
Marshal NEY arrived to-day at Pforzheim,<br />
with a considerable body of infantry<br />
and cavalry, and on the30th he was in the<br />
environs of Stutgard, where other corps<br />
arrived from Frendenstadt and Nagold, and<br />
effected a junction:<br />
On the 30th of September, near 18,000<br />
French troops arrived at Stutgard. Another<br />
division, consisting of four regiments,<br />
arrived the following clay. The march of<br />
11oops continued there on the 1st of <strong>Oct</strong>ober.<br />
On the 1st and 2d of <strong>Oct</strong>ober some<br />
French troops left-Stutgard'; on tbe 2d, in<br />
the afternoon, Marshal NEY inspected the<br />
grand army in that neighbourhood : on the<br />
same day ihe French troops entered Ettlingen,<br />
and Rocbingen, &c. On the other<br />
hand, the Austiian troops were still at Tubingen,<br />
and at Goppingen on the 1st of this<br />
month. On the 3d of <strong>Oct</strong>obcr, sixteen<br />
regiments of dragoons arrived successively<br />
at Stutgard, and on the same day marched<br />
in a direction towards Goppingen and Ulm,<br />
with all the troops that were left at ..Stut- .<br />
gard.<br />
In consequence of the march of the French<br />
troops, several movements hav.e sakeii place<br />
in the'Austrian armies in Suabia, as well as<br />
in Bavaria.<br />
On the 25th and 26th of September, the<br />
Austrian Head-Quartets weie removed to<br />
Mindelheim.<br />
According to official intelligence, the Rus-.<br />
siatis'will change their destination at B.runn,<br />
and enter into Bohemia,, so that one of their<br />
Corps shall' penetrate by Waldermuncheu<br />
into Upper Bavaria. From this account it<br />
appears to be fatse, that their first column<br />
was arri ved at Lintz ; it could only be there<br />
about the middle of Ofctobef.<br />
All'the Austrian troops are concentrating<br />
themselves near the Adige. v<br />
On the : 2d of '<strong>Oct</strong>ober', at eleven at night,<br />
his M A J E S T T arrived at Louisburgh, with<br />
a part of his suite, and alighted at the Electoral<br />
Palace.<br />

We are informed, that his M A J E S T Y<br />
has set out, yesterday morning,'at eleven,<br />
frbiij'^Louisburgh for ijordlingen, whence<br />
be is* perhaps, again departing at this moment.<br />
He seemed extremely well satisfied<br />
with his-stay at the residence of the Electoral<br />
Court of Wurtemburgh, On the 4th<br />
he supped in great, state in the presence of<br />
•the wfeo.le Court, at which there was a grand<br />
gala. The ELECTRESS is a Princess as<br />
amiable as possible.;.. the. Princesses, her<br />
Step-daughters, sisters-in law, and nieces,<br />
are all very lovely,- and several of them are<br />
very beautiful.<br />
BERLIN, OCT. G.<br />
Yesterday Prince DOLGORUCKY, Aidde<br />

FRENCH MEMORIAL, '.'<br />
Upon the Incorporation of Genoa.<br />
" After many vain attempts of the Ge<br />
noese people to maintain the independent<br />
existence which France had guaranteed<br />
ihem, already on the brink of destruction,<br />
they unanimously resolve upon the only<br />
lneaaure left them for their preservation<br />
they decree, in the most solemn manner,<br />
their union with the .French empire, and<br />
earnestly implore the Emperor Napoleonic<br />
receive them into the number of his faithful<br />
subjects,. by a deputation, the members of<br />
which were directed not to leave Milan, till<br />
they had, at least, obtained a promise of<br />
his Imperial and Royal Majesty, that he<br />
would comply with iheir desire.<br />
"• The most urgent motives induced all<br />
the citizens of that'republic, to make a proposal<br />
which 1 entirely changes their political<br />
'situati-in. Important reasons invited France<br />
not to oppose this wish. A lithe naval powers<br />
could not but favour an union, which,<br />
•without augmenting the continental strength<br />
of Prance, enables her, for the benefit of<br />
the commerce of all nations, to avenge the<br />
, maritime encroachments and insults of England.<br />
It may not be amiss to consider in<br />
various points of view, an occurrence<br />
which wiil soon be placed in a false 'light,<br />
by the panegyrists of that Government, by<br />
whose, conduct it was rendeted indispensibly.<br />
' necessary.<br />
" The'Senate, and the people of Genoa<br />
had made various eifui ts to give themselves<br />
a constitution, hut without success. France<br />
herself had sincerely wished that this State<br />
might preserve its rank among the Powers<br />
of Europe. She had defended it during the<br />
War : she"had reconquered it from Austria;<br />
' she hacl endeavoured in vatious. negociations.<br />
to stipulate for its advantage ; she had increased<br />
its territory, to afford it new means<br />
of. prosperity, and had successively ceded .to<br />
it the I jtiperlal Fiefs, the valley of Oneglia,<br />
Loa.na, Serraville, and other districts,- in<br />
.closed by its territory, which belonged to<br />
France, prevented, a free communication,<br />
and were injurious to its trade. It is still<br />
fiesh in .the memory of every one, that<br />
France, alter she had, in the 8th year 'of<br />
'. the Republic, reconquered Genoa and her<br />
, dependencies,, from the power which had<br />
. taken possession oi them , did not insist on<br />
those rigbi,s to which she was eiiiicicu, by<br />
; this event. She withstood the wish uttered<br />
even at that time by those who were best ac<br />
. quainted with the situation ol their country,<br />
and rejected ihe proposal of an union,<br />
which would indeed have contributed triofe; [ bie<br />
effectually to the tranquility and secuiity til j<br />
Genoa, but which would then have.appealed<br />
to be Qierely the eff.-ct of gratitude, and<br />
the. tecollection of the-calamities she had<br />
end in ed.<br />
" Since that period, Genoa has been convineed<br />
that her. warlaie is no longer compatible<br />
wit.h her independence, and that, in<br />
conse.qucnce of thi change in the state of all<br />
Europe, she had become too weak to make<br />
head against the external attacks of aimies<br />
or fleets, and to suppress internal commotions.<br />
Alter many years of difficulty and<br />
• inquietude, she.implored his Imperial' and<br />
: Royal Majesty, who' had, already, undertaken<br />
to preside over the destinies of France,<br />
' likewise to direct those of the Ligurian Republic,<br />
and to unite.all parties undera constitution<br />
better adapted to the state of the<br />
.country and its old inhabitants'.' Genoa,<br />
• accordingly, received aGovefnriient whose<br />
•form and'regulations weiesanctioned by the i<br />
'experience of many centuries, and whose |<br />
fundamental principles w ere caiefully exa»<br />
fmined and approved by the Representatives .<br />
•6f the State ; of Genoa, who Were charged t6<br />
take uponihemselves that labour. But this<br />
new.attempt, made with the concurrence of<br />
all, was not attended with any better success.<br />
Genoa was incapable of having cither ;<br />
h govern ment, a marine, foreign commerce,<br />
pr-internal police. She possessed not even<br />
it he power to exterminate a banditti, who<br />
are still plundering a portion of her territories,<br />
and whp even ..kept the' inhabitants of<br />
the adjoining French departments in a continual<br />
state of alarm.<br />
From all these fruitless exertions to<br />
improve her internal situation, Genoa learned<br />
that the clauses of her imbecility, and'the<br />
means of preventing -her total annihilation<br />
were to be nought abroad. Genoa, which<br />
subsisted entuely by commerce, has lost it;<br />
in consequence of the aggrandizement of all 1<br />
the commercial powers. Numerous ports,<br />
wliich twenty years ago were scarcely known,<br />
anil others which boast tin: peculiar protection<br />
ol their respective governments, have<br />
v'ied with each other in diminishing the prosperity<br />
of the port of Genoa.<br />
" New maritime states were created oy<br />
the late war. V eniee, whose trade had<br />
fallen to decay, is now the depot of the commodities<br />
of a great empire. The same<br />
Power has acquired a great extent of coast,<br />
and 1 gives animation to the ports which natiire<br />
has so richly distributed alongit. The<br />
harbours in the Republic of the Seven Islands<br />
will soon he of far greater importance,<br />
than they were under the government of Ve-<br />
' nice* The-English', now masters of India,<br />
have made Malta a new depot for their metfciiantli>;e.<br />
:" VV li.ile this coin petition arose round<br />
Genoa, she beheld the remnant of her com •<br />
nfetce expi-ised to .the depredations of pirates,<br />
ap;l exited the envy of England, which not.<br />
only refused to consider Genoa as an in.de<br />
pendent state, but employed every possible<br />
measure to chive her to despair ; which .incessantly<br />
insulted her ; which, during the<br />
Fate war, cut out ot the harbour two French<br />
frigates, and massacred their crews, and<br />
heated her just as she pleased during the<br />
blockade. -<br />
' Before England had declared this war<br />
agailist Genoa-, when Upper Italy was vet<br />
subject to : several Sovereigns, the maritime<br />
commerce of Genoa, and her commission--<br />
trade with the, Continent, was capable of:<br />
. preserving' her from. ruin. The former is<br />
now destroyed, and as England, besides 1<br />
throwing a thousand obstacles in the way of<br />
exportation, likewise Seized every opportunity<br />
of sending her commodities into her<br />
own ports as'contraband,' his. Imperial and;<br />
Royal Majesty, whose 'dominions surround;<br />
Liguria, found himself necessitated to adopt<br />
a system for the whole, of those .frontiers,<br />
which, while it . prevented .the importation;<br />
of English commodities into the departments<br />
of 'France, likewise cutoff all communication<br />
.between Liguria and the Continent, and<br />
consequently put a stop to the.only trade<br />
Which England had left the Republic.<br />
. " Alarmed at a situation whicji could not<br />
fail, in a short time, to involve her in utter<br />
ruin, Genoa was long convinced, that she<br />
haef'tio Other resource,than to unite heiself<br />
more closely with .France. She daily re<br />
nounced, from necessity, a pott ion of her<br />
independence, and-was protected only by a.<br />

French squadrons, and imploie the French<br />
Government to make juse in 'France of her<br />
la.boure-iis for. whom she could; not find em-.<br />
ployment. In perpetual apprehension of<br />
civil commotions from ,'tire discontent of<br />
parties, on account of the general poverty,<br />
which was continually increasing, .and the'<br />
imbecility of the Government, which could<br />
not firmly establish itself, she was persuaded<br />
of the necessity of forming a corps of<br />
Gens d'Armes, to be commanded by French;<br />
Officers. '• '' ' " - :<br />
" Thus the union of Genoa was imperceptibly<br />
effected by her situation. This;<br />
measure was desired by her '.inhabitants.-:- :<br />
Nothing more was, therefore, necessary,:<br />
than that it should be taken into considerati-!<br />
on by those parts of the Government which j<br />
suffered the most from this state of uncertainty,<br />
the expence^and Burthens of which<br />
Tendered the condition of Liguria still more<br />
Oppressive. Hence proceeded the sudden<br />
enthusiasm, the eager zeal, qf the people of;<br />
Genoa, to subscribe to the wish for an in-'<br />
corporation ; when the Senate, after mature<br />
consideration, thought it their duty to propose<br />
it, and regarded that as the favourable<br />
moment, in which his Imperial and Roy,al<br />
Majesty could behold, with his own eyes,<br />
the distress of a country to which arms had<br />
restored its independence, but which, in<br />
spite of all its efforts, could not again recover<br />
its former prosperity.<br />
" As Piedmont,, Parma, and Placenza,<br />
by which Liguria is encompassed, form a<br />
part of the dominions of his Majesty, as the<br />
Kingdom of Italy is in his hands,- and has<br />
received a Sovereign-from him, as the Republic<br />
of Genoa, which was forgot ten by<br />
England in the Tieaty, of Amien^ perceives<br />
that both the sea and the land,., are shut<br />
against her, she could not have formed a resol<br />
ution better adapted to her interest and her<br />
dignity, than to incorporate herself with a<br />
great nation, and that with an impetuosity<br />
so enthusiastic, as perfectly answered for the (<br />
success of the measure.<br />
" His imperial and Royal Majesty, affected<br />
by the motives which induced Genoa<br />
to adopt this resolution, was obliged provi •<br />
feorily to' comply with a wish, that was<br />
the result of long experience and the most<br />
mature deliberation. The annihilation of<br />
the hopes of a people-, vjrlio were determined<br />
no longer to be denied, might have<br />
bc-en productive of the most serious con<br />
sequences.<br />
" The Continental power of France has<br />
not, in fact, been augmented by this union.<br />
A narrow tract, so cooped up by the sea and<br />
by mountains, a3 to leave a free coinmunica- 1<br />
tion only at a few points, which does not<br />
produce com sufficient to support its .500,000.<br />
inhabitants, which is exposed to the havoc<br />
of annual inundations in its most fertile dts<br />
tricts,,and oppressed by the burden of a ptodigious<br />
debt, without any probability of its<br />
being paid off,; .the incorporation with his<br />
Imperial and Royal Majesty's State, of such<br />
a country, which has but little communication<br />
with the. Continent, and is incapable of<br />
restoring its naval power, on account of the<br />
alteration which has taken place in the -situation<br />
of all.other States, cannot afford any<br />
pretext for Continental discussions, and its<br />
union with France cannot possibly produce<br />
any remonstrances by which peace is likely<br />
to be endangered. Should England succeed<br />
in creating discord on this subject, no alternative<br />
will be left His Imperial Majesty, but<br />
to prosecute with vigour the unjust war that<br />
will be declared against.him.<br />
" Enjoying the satisfaction of having rescued<br />
a State which threw itself into hisarms,<br />
he MilMiave'in his-favour the goodness of<br />
his caui'c, the public opinion, and all the<br />
motives of dignity, neighbourhood,, and<br />
benevolence, which have hitherto induced<br />
him to protect Genoa.<br />
" Far more important-considerations, of<br />
great interest to all Europe, excepting England,<br />
co-operated on this occasion.in the ie<br />
sol ves of -His Majesty. France, which, by<br />
her political and geographical situation on<br />
the Atlantic and -Mediterranean'Seas, is destined<br />
to check the usurpation of the ocean-,<br />
- and ,to-vindicate the,-fights and independence<br />
of- the.Maritime Powers, has not coasts so<br />
- extensive as England. • Without enlarging<br />
her Continental possessions, she will obtairi<br />
by. Lhe- union of Genoa, 6,000 seamen to<br />
supply the place of those whom she lost dory<br />
ing the late war, ancl Will thus be enabled<br />
the better to cope with a Sta-e, five sole object<br />
of whose efforts is,to Usurp the dominion<br />
of the seas, which exercises an universal<br />
monopoly 1 , which strives to make with every<br />
nation, commercial treaties iii her own way •<br />
which is extending-.her power in India, only<br />
with a view to employ..it .against Europe;<br />
which violates all the rights of neutrals, and<br />
which will not conduct herself with mote<br />
moderation towards tlic-m, till France, shall<br />
have acquired'a more, foi midable navy.<br />
" Were the Eng'lish'to'vestore Goa to the<br />
Portuguese, Ceylon tothe Dutch', the vast<br />
possessions of Tippoci S.aib to his heirs, and<br />
the empire of the MahratSis t.o independence,<br />
it would better become thfcm, than to remonstrate<br />
against the union ot narrow tract -of<br />
Coasts, which is already surrounded by the<br />
French territory. But these exaggerating<br />
alarmists, who will infallibly ra.ise a piodigious<br />
outcry against a measure which they<br />
have themselves rendered!'necessary for. Genoa,<br />
for France, andforithe security of Europe,<br />
will, it:is to' be hoped', not make any<br />
impression on the wiser Cabinets of the<br />
Continent. jTo all the States ol Europe the<br />
situation of Liguria must be a matter of indifference.<br />
They have long seen that this<br />
country is separated from their territories by<br />
the dominions of his Imperial and Royal'<br />
Majesty, and, from its position, can have<br />
no communication, with them, but by sea,<br />
They aie already accustomed to the intimate<br />
.relations subsisting between the Genoese and<br />
France, totbe mutual interests and'mutual<br />
operations which have rendered the two na<br />
tiom indivisible. Their union must appear<br />
to allEurope the inevitable result of their psiuon,.<br />
' It cannot excite any mistrust in tire<br />
continental powers, as it will not add a sin -<br />
gle battalion to the French Srmy ; as the .gradual<br />
decay of Liguria fbi bids the annexation<br />
of its territory to be ascribed to wis lies of ambition,<br />
so there is not a Court, that ought to<br />
entertain-any alarm concerning the.intentions<br />
of His Majesty, .after tlie principles of moderation<br />
which he has manifested, in accepting<br />
the Crown of Italy only till such time as<br />
tlie tranquillity of the south of Europe shall<br />
be restored.<br />
c< England imagined, that while she was<br />
conquering India, and plundering the Sovereigns<br />
of extensive and opulent kingdoms,<br />
the distance of these unexampled usurpations<br />
would escape the attention of Europe.<br />
To France alone, destined by nature to preserve<br />
the rights bf neutral.states—to France,<br />
•who has always erkerted' her power, and<br />
placed all her glory iri protecting them—to<br />
her, alone, 'it belongs to 1 estore the balance<br />
of tlie seas. A few thousand more seamen<br />
will be sufficient for the equipment of' ten<br />
ships which France is building in the midst<br />
of war, and they wil.l be the bc-s.i guarantee<br />
for the pieservation of any future treaty between<br />
her and England. It is beyond a<br />
doubt, that if, at the mo ment of peace,<br />
France shall have succeeded in placing her<br />
in art tie or. a respectable footing, there will<br />
be no danger of the renewal of "these capricious<br />
hostilities, which England thought<br />
propel- to commence against Fiance in May<br />
1803, and of which the expedition, again,st<br />
Denmaak, and the capture of the; Spanish<br />
frigates, furnish a further demonstration'.<br />
Europe will not then any longer be<br />
perpetually disturbed by the efforts of a<br />
Government, which is incessantly endeavouring<br />
to arm the Continent in favour of its<br />
designs upon the seas, and which has in vain<br />
granted five millions sterling to procure assistance.<br />
" The measure of the Genoese cannot<br />
therefore, in any point of view, oppose the<br />
smallest obstacle to the negociations with<br />
which M. Novosiltzoff is charged.<br />
" All the essentials of. an equal, secure,<br />
and honourable peace, still subsist ; and if<br />
it were allowed to compare nifk-s with objects<br />
of importance, it might be said, that<br />
England has no right to complain of the<br />
wish for a union between Liguria and<br />
France, as Fiance has made no conjoiaint<br />
concerning the recent destruction ouhe-Mahralta<br />
Empire."<br />

The passing of the Rhine by the Fiench<br />
Army seems to ha ve Very much deranged the<br />
calculations .of the Austrians.' Their Gene-<br />
• rais, .since'they have been apprised of that<br />
event, ho'ld daily corfierrences, and do not<br />
appear to know well what measures they<br />
should adopt. The Archduke FERDI-<br />
NAND, who is at the head ofthe Army,<br />
does nothing of himself; and General<br />
• MACK, who directs the. operations, send<br />
' one couiier afier another J.o Vienna to demand<br />
instructions. . He is.one day at Metnmirigen,<br />
the neitt at Ufm, arid tlie third on<br />
.the opposite bank of tlie Da on Be. liis obvious,<br />
that he is not without considerable<br />
apprehensions, and that he dreads ari attack<br />
on the part ot the French army. Several couriers<br />
have been sent to the Russian army in<br />
Moravia, to press General Kuxusow, in<br />
tlie most urgent manner, to accelerate the<br />
march of his army. The Only provisional<br />
measure hitherto adopted^ is that of detaching<br />
a considerable reinforcement to the Austrian<br />
army ori the left df itte Danube. Several<br />
regiments have left the right baukol the<br />
Iller, in order to rep'asS the Lech and proceed<br />
to the Upper Paktinate ; chat pro vince,<br />
which is at present occupied by the Austrians,<br />
being menaced by the ad Va lice of the<br />
French in' Fiancdriia.<br />
The violation of the Prussian dominions<br />
by the French troops, ha ve given rise to a<br />
variety of speculations on the probable conduct<br />
of his Prussian Majesty, in consequehce<br />
of that event.' Some asserted that- tie' had<br />
determined to permit the free passage of the<br />
Russians through his territory, while others:<br />
thought it probable that tire French anct<br />
Prussian politics wore perfect'y understoodby<br />
each other, and that the Prussian Monarch<br />
winked at the seeming violation of his',<br />
We have just received ih't,e'l!)gence that several<br />
