SWABIA, October 3.

It is believed, that for some days the united Imperial armies have advanced, and re-occupied their former position in Switzerland. The head quarters of marshal Petrarch, who commands the division of Hotze, was still on the 29th, at St. Gall. A body of troops have passed the Lake of Constance and the Rhine. General Korsakow (Russian) head quarters are at Eglau, upon the right bank of the Rhine. Some bodies of French troops advanced between the separated armies, and proceeded to the suburbs of Schaffhausen, Winterthur, Frauenfeld and some even to Constance; but they are not numerous. It is believed marshal Suwarrow will take immediately the chief command at Eglau. The main body of the army of the Archduke, has arrived at Donaueschingen (in Swabia). It is expected that his Royal Highness will make an attack on the side of Basle. The French have evacuated Auenheim, near Kehl; 3000 men who were there, have gone to Strasburg; the Austrians immediately took possession of the post. The French are making movements, as if to penetrate into the Brisgau, by the side of Briach. It is not expected that Massena will advance from Zurich, towards the Lake of Constance, and the Rhine, while he has such bodies of enemies in his rear. The news respecting Field Marshal Suwarrow, are contradictory. By that from Feldkirch, it would seem, that he had joined the corps of Gen. Petrarch, after having beaten a division of French troops, and killed and made prisoners of 2000, who was actually advancing in Switzerland, on the other side. The other account is from Augsburg, dated Oct. 1, as follows- "We have this day received by an extraordinary messenger the important news, that Marshal Suwarrow, on the 28th September, entered Lucerne with his army, and that he was preparing to march against Berne. The inhabitants of the little cantons all join him. Orders have been sent to the Gri sons at Rhinthal and Schaffhausen, with generals Nauendorff and Kiemmayer. On the 29th, a heavy cannonade was heard near Ravensbourg."
