STUTGAIM), March 9.
The Archduke Charles has his headquar

was advancing again ft: Ulm, by Stpckach and

BORDERS OF Ti'lE LECH, March 8.
* As loon a? a courier, who arrived from
Saftadt at the head quarters of Friedberg, on
,&e : night of the 2d in!tint, had brought 'the
news of the French having crofted the Rhine
aigHt columns of infantry puffed the Lech,
arid arrived at L T lm on the sth. These
troops- have been fumilUed with a park of
'artillery,' confiding of no pieces of cannon
too ammunition waggons. Two officers of j
engineers, general Frohn and major Dedo
wieh," have received orders !ince the 4th, i
t<J repair witji all poliible difpstch to that
city, ia-order to infpeft the fortification! of
it, and cause the nccefTary repairs to be made.
At this moment they are Qipplymg the place
'with provisions for a garriCon of 10,000 mefi,
and the.surrounding villages have been call
ed upon to furnifn their contingent. It is
thought here, that as soon as the army i>f
Jourdon shall approach our quarter, a Co-,
lunin of the army of Switzerland will join
him.
before yesterday the Archduke
Charles ■arrived at Munich, and returned
this day to the head quarters of Friedberg.
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,

THE GRISO^S.
The country of the Grifons is probably the
highest in *ll Europe. 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.

qy- The political Intelligence received by
the several late arrivals from England is
extremely unfatisfaftory;—we have Hat

the public to judge of its confiftcncy. It
is proper, however, to observe, that capt.
Wood, who brought the paper containing
the letter of Meffiena, left Ljverpdol the
4th of April,when the new* of the French
defeat wa» again renewed, and generally
believed; but through the hurry »f the
