FRANKFORT, May 22.
It seems to be perfedlly wtll ascertained
that there exists some feed of rebellion in the
Austrian army. Two Hungarian regiments
whom gen. Kray had charged with some
very dangerous service, have refuftd to obey,,
alledging the inipoffibility Hun>; [. y was un
der of fumilhinga fufficient number of re
cruits to replace them in cafe fhould
prove unfnccefsful. They likewise oblerv
cd that they were ready to serve the Era
per .r with their I ves and fortunes in all
wari against the Porte, which nearly i'ltertft
their country ; but that th£ war which they
were now carrying on was wholly unconneft
ed with thtfe interests. Gen. Kray feeing
lie was unahle to gain over their refinance,
resolved upon having recourse to force, and
ordertd thim to be surrounded. The Hun
garians then formed thetrfelveg into a fqnare
and declared they would periih fooucr than
yield. Gen. Kray thought.it more advife
able t'.» withdraw his order than to persist in
it : but the next diy he incorporated these
regim rt« wih other corps. A similar
fctne lately took place at Ulm ; the Anf
tiUA tioopl exprcfl'ed the greatest repug
nance to the further continuance of the war.

such num'iers, that a victory more would
entirely diflolve their army. Although it

however, that he under andshis iritereft too
well to aft so. A letter frcrn the head
