" 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 />

to v.-fiom'every thing presages victory. It<br />

would equally be consistent with, the dignity<br />

• Emperor of the FREN C H is. animated, what<br />

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

MARMONT, joined by the Bavarian Roman Senate sold.ata high rate the ground<br />

he ardently cherishes. Austria, however,<br />

. has trodden under foot the Constitution, vio- |<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 />

of German Empiie, v> hich has been attacked<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 />

t:o the express tenor: of the recess of the<br />

Empire, namely, the acquisition of Lindau,<br />

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

Franconia, the army of Marshal BX-RNA-<br />

DOTTE had aheady passed the city of Bamberg,<br />

and General MARMONT had arrived<br />

there, whilst the fi 'st division' of his army<br />

was already at Er ach. This aiity from<br />

All the Northern letters State, that the<br />

Cabinet of St. P iters burgh very 1 much<br />

complains of thene (ltrality of Prussia, and<br />

insists upon a passage through Eastern Prussia<br />

; which, Jiowerer, will not be granted<br />

upon any account. It is also positively ;as-<br />

An Extraordinary Meeting ot the Senate<br />

was held yesterday. It is reported that this<br />

The Viceroy of ITALY has issued a decree,<br />

dated Sept. 26, directing the establishment<br />

of a Special Tribunal, for the trial<br />

and punishment of. any persons who shall<br />

form plots against the State, and the civil arrangements<br />

already established. The Trir<br />

bunal will leside at Milan, and will consist<br />

of seven judges, against whose decision there<br />

will be no appeal.<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 />

STR ASBURGH, OCT. 6.<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 />

here. It is said, that he is • the beaic-r<br />

of a letter, written with his Sovcieign's own<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 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 />

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 />

winked at the seeming violation of his',<br />
