National Gazette

A London paper of credit has the following paragraph under the Vienna head of Sept. 10. "The measures which the Emperor seems to have taken with the King of Prussia relative to France appear daily more serious. If the declaration which will shortly appear at Paris on the part of those two monarchs, & which will be seconded by similar declarations on the part of several courts of the south and north of Europe shall be absolutely ineffectual, and if the negociations in which the winter may be employed terminate but in useless conferences, there can be no doubt but scenes of destruction and carnage will take place the ensuing spring. The preparations making for that fatal purpose are not of the blustering kind, but they are not for that reason the less certain. Many bodies of troops have begun their march from different parts of the Austrian States towards the Rhine: Ten battalions and as many squadrons have just received orders enjoining them to make all the necessary dispositions to enable them to follow the same rout.

With respect to the reports circulated, relative to the plan of attack, and of the campaign, which the allied princes have agreed upon, there is reason to think that all is not authentic; but exaggeration and error in details do not destroy the existence of the design.—Three armies will certainly be assembled, to act against France on the side of Germany. The first will be assembled near Luxembourg, where 30,000 Austrians will be joined by all the Prussian regiments on the Westphalia establishment. The second will be assembled in Brisgau to consist of twenty battalions of Hungarians and Croatians, of ten squadrons of Austrian cavalry, and of the double contingents of the cities of Bavaria, Franconia, Suabia, and the upper Rhine. The third will be collected in the environs of Worms, and will consist principally of the troops of the two circles of Saxony."
