Munich, Nov. 17.—The Emperor Francis II. before he set out for Moravia, assured his Generals that it was a vain attempt to defend him, and bid them farewell, with great emotion.

The Hungarians discovered little hope of affording him an asylum in their country. As the Emperor was entering his carriage, he turned towards the palace, and lifted his hands, crying, my God, my God! The Empress discovered his distress, but persisted in charging all his distress upon the English minister.

The pulpit was employed to prevail on the people to submit to the decrees of Providence, and to trust that such great events must bring a permanent peace.
