He flopped no longer than while he was dining with the EleAor of Treves. Orders were given that none of the wives of officer's or soldiers (hould follow the army. The head quart.rs will be trans ftfr-ed to-morfow to Welkenheim ; and af ter to-morrow to Menimingen. The troops are filled with ardor, and repose entire confi dence in their general. It appears to be the intention of the Archduke to support his right wing at Ulm, and his left at Kempten. Menimingen will be the centre. By means , ps these positions, his Royal Highness will preserve his communication with the army #f General Hotze. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 13. Sir Sydney Smith is to fail from hence to Egypt, in company with the Turkifli Admi ral, with a fleet confiding of jo men of war and several transports. STUTGARD-, March 7. We learn from Auglburgh of the 4th the following news " Part of the Imperial army patted the Lech this morning. His Royal Highness the Archduke Charles is arrived here from his head quarters at Friedberg, and has cauf- : ed t!ie HuCar regime Jit oi' the Emperor to 1 defile before him.—Several other regiments , have pa (fed this town and its environs." The column of Jourdan's army under ge neral St. Cjfr's command, which marched from Freudenftadt on the 4th did not go to Horb ; it took, the road to Rothwell ; which causes it to be imagined that it is intended to go to th. Lake of Conftancc, inflead of marching dire&ly upoa Ulm. Letters from this town dated the sth, fay, that great quantities of ammunition and artillery were expccUd from Gunzbourg, Ihe corps under general Ferino which palTcd the Rhine at Basle, is composed of three balf brigade, fix regiments of horse chafleurs, tv/o companies of artillery, and Jevera!

It forms an aifem blage of the vallies upon the summit of the Rhetian and the Julien Alps. Each of thefc vallies is separated from the other by a chain of mountains, To elevated that, the waters which flow from them take an opposite direc tion. On the western fide are tha vallies of Msfon and Diflentis, the canal ot which forms the sources of the Rhine, diftharging itfelf into the Mediteranean. On the east ern fide are the sources of the Rhine, which flows into the Northern sea. The eaflern part of the valley, which forms the source ot the Rhine, is so high, that not even rK or any fruit can be produced upon it. But nst withftandingthis, it is very populous, water ed by the Inn, which, after traversing the Tyrol, discharges itfelf, together vr:th the Dnnube into the Black Sea. On the south of these mountains the waters increase. That of the Adda, which pa£fc» through the Tyrol, and uniting with the Po, falls into the Adriatic sea. The Valteline and the country of Bormio form a deep valley, which makes the point of junction between Italy, Switzerland, the Tyrol, and the country of the Grifons, and renders it of great impor- ' tance in a military point of view. Its e»> ] tent is fifteen, and it varies in its breadth i from one to three leagues. On the ealj, it I ■forms a communication by the valley of Freel and various other pafTages, with the Tyrol, by Pafchinva and Bernina to Engodine and the Tyrol, and, finally, by Chiavene and Sopro Porto to Eugodine, and thence thro' Sphngan to the valley of the Rhine. The valteline is separated from Italy by i chain of very high mountains at different diftancej, by palfable hills, in the raftera pirt of wWcfi they are separated from Bergomafque and Berlion, but'inlenfibly decline between the [ Valteline and the Milaiwfe, so at to afford an eafv access both to an army and whatever artillery may accompany it. Ulm is to have a j»arrifon of 10,000 men ; Field Marshal Count Kerpcri, who defended Ingolfl againfl Moreau, is tobe commandant, j with the Engineer General Fahr, under his : orders. The city is provisioned for. a confi de ruble period. The Margrave of Badia has publilhed a proclamation like the Duke of Wirtemberg, to regulate the conduft of his fubjacts dur ing the passage of the French. Letters from the Hague of the 12th inft. flute, that the fleet of the Texcl was 011 the eve of failing ill conjunction with the Dun kirk squadron upon loire secret expedition ; which, however, it observes, will not be so considerable as that which was to have taken place in the fiimmer of 1797". : We stated in our paper of yesterday, that | French papers of the 1 jth and 16 th had rebell ed town, and we mentioned in a f;w lines what was the chief intelligence which they brought. A paper of- the 17th alio reached town in the course of the day. The two councils have paired a Decree, by which all privateers are forbidden, and the Tailors who compose their crews are ordered I to repair to Brest, in order to man the fleet which is fitting out there, and which they are making every effort to prepare for fen.— We heartily wish them success in these efforts convinced their (hips will never leave their port's without finding their way into ours. Another decree has patTcd to compel all Foreigners in France to wear the Cockade of their country. The precaution* which the DircfWy are taking in the Interior prove the unjafinefs embarraflrnent of their situation, in spite of the pains which they take to conceal it. Our readers will feee with pleasure that the Infurrec ion in Belgium gains additional ftrengfh, The time is now come in which it may prove of material assistance to the enemies of Faance, and in which it may in its turn receive considerable afiillance from them.
