The Printers of the Federal Gazette were yesterday favored with a number of Hamburg papers to the 18th November, brought by the Anthony Martin. The following, from a hasty perusal, appear to be the most prominent articles:
That the Imperialists were making the most vigorous preparations to bombard Huningen, and to demolish all the fortifications at that place--That the Austrians had approached so near to Kehl with their batteries as not only to fire into the town, but also into the fortifications of the bridge and of the bridge itself; and that the inhabitants of Kehl had received orders to remove with their effects to Strasbourg, as that place would be demolished--That the head quarters of the Archduke Charles were at Offenburg--That it was reported a cessation of arms was about to take place between the Imperialists and French, on the Rhine--that during the armistice a treaty of peace would be set on foot, and that a number of couriers were going backwards and forwards between Paris and Vienna.
