Fourth Return of the Russians towards the Rhine.
Vienna, February 3.
Yesterday arrived here, as unexpectedly as it was sudden, a courier from Petersburg, with dispatches to our Court of the very highest importance. Paul the First, having yielded to the representations of Suwarrow in regard to the misunderstandings which had arisen between the two Imperial Courts; has for the fourth time changed the destination of the Russian army. In consequence, he has ordered his army to return to the Rhine, where it will receive reinforcements without delay. The Intendant of the Magazines for supplying the Russian troops, resident in this city, has also received a courier from Suwarrow, ordering him to remain here, and to continue his functions.
Letters from Lintz, dated the 3d of February, contain the following article: "A courier from Vienna has brought to his royal highness the Prince of Conde dispatches which have unexpectedly caused an alteration in the measures taken for his departure, which was fixed for to-morrow. The Prince immediately dispatched an order to his corps to remain in their cantonments."
Accounts from the Banks of the Main, of the 10th of February, state, with every mark of confidence, the certainty of the Russian army, commanded by Suwarrow, having received a counter-order, and that it is to march to the Rhine. We also learn from Memmingen, that an order has been received there to provide provisions for 14,000 Russians, who are to arrive there in a very short time.
[The following remarks on these important articles, are made in "The Times," an authentic London paper of Feb. 24.]
Yesterday morning an express reached our office from Dover, with the Paris papers to the 19th inst. inclusive. They contain intelligence of the most important nature: which we are happy to find confirmed by advices received on Saturday from Holland, dated the 15th inst.
Letters from Strasburgh of the 12th, and from Vienna of the 2d and 3d inst. announce, that a courier arrived at the latter place, on the morning of the 2d from Petersburg, with dispatches containing the determination of the Emperor Paul to continue the continental war against the common enemy with all his forces. The Russian troops have accordingly been ordered to return once more to the Rhine. As this reconciliation is understood to have been the work of Marshal Suwarrow, in consequence of the conferences held at Prague, we are authorized to entertain the most sanguine hopes of ultimate success, as it is evident how much that brave and noble commander has at heart the real interests of Europe. It appears also, that the Cabinet of Vienna has refused a second time the overtures of Buonaparte. We most sincerely congratulate the public on this very interesting intelligence.
