The house of Austria does not longer conceal her design of seizing a part of Bavaria with the consent of the Elector, to frustrate his successor and extend her frontiers as far as the river Yer; these ambitious views have been confirmed by a conference held between Field Marshal Wurmser, and the Duke of Deux-Ponts, in which the former said, "that it was endeavored to procure him a district near Landau in compensation of Bavaria."
The Duke immediately ordered his minister to communicate this plan to the coalesced powers, and to assure them that he never would consent to the dismemberment of Bavaria (his domain) until he was compelled by superior force.
In the libellous pamphlet which has been distributed in Ratibon, the Duke is accused of being the friend of the French—a spy in their pay. The Austrians are the known authors of this scurrilous work.
