The General in Chief Moreau arrived here last evening, at 6 o'clock, in company with General Macdonald; their arrival was announced by the discharge of artillery. An elegant ball was given them, at which the greater part of the Diet attended. We are assured that before his departure from Augsburg, general Moreau furnished passports for the Count de Cobentzel. On his way here he visited the fortresses of Ingolstadt, and the monument erecting to the memory of the brave Latour d'Auvergne.
The Congress of Luneville is provisionally transferred to Paris. We know that count Cobentzel has arrived here, that citizen Joseph Buonaparte returned along with him, and that the marquis of Lucchesini, the minister plenipotentiary of the king of Prussia, has also arrived. It is asserted, that the conferences which take place at Paris, will not retard the opening of the Congress; on the contrary, it is probable they will hasten the result. M. Cetto, the Bavarian minister, has also arrived. It is asserted in a positive manner in letters from Vienna, that the differences which existed between that court and the court of Petersburg, have terminated to the satisfaction of the two monarchs, and they mention as a proof of it that the grand duke Constantine, who was in Gallicia at the time of the grand military reviews, commanded on that occasion a division of Austrian troops. This accommodation, which is probable will not however be carried so far as to produce an alliance, offensive and defensive between the two courts: the engagements which Russia has entered into with Prussia, must interdict the former from making any alliance that might be contrary to the object of the armed mediation.
The last armistice was to expire on the 20th October. It is said, but we know not on what foundation, that it will be prolonged for four months; it is no more probable that it will be prolonged to the end of the negotiations, the result of which is still involved in obscurity.

Event Details
General in Chief Moreau arrived last evening at 6 o'clock with General Macdonald, announced by artillery discharge; elegant ball attended by greater part of the Diet. Before departing Augsburg, Moreau furnished passports for Count de Cobentzel; en route visited Ingolstadt fortresses and monument to Latour d'Auvergne. Congress of Luneville provisionally transferred to Paris; Count Cobentzel arrived here with citizen Joseph Buonaparte; marquis of Lucchesini and M. Cetto also arrived. Paris conferences will not retard but likely hasten congress opening. Letters from Vienna assert resolution of differences between Vienna and Petersburg courts, evidenced by grand duke Constantine commanding Austrian troops in Galicia during reviews. Accommodation unlikely to produce full alliance due to Russia's Prussian commitments. Last armistice expires 20th October; rumored four-month prolongation or until negotiations conclude, though foundation uncertain.
