# Concerto for the Piano-forte, with Accompani- 
ments for a full Band. Inscribed to Miss 
Cholmondeley, by F. Mazzingbi. 7s. 6d. 
Mr. Mazzinghi, in this coneerto (the 
subject of which ts taken from a maniu- 
seript of Mr. Giornovich), has displayed 
much of that science and ingenuity witch 
“we have so often had occasion to notice 
in his former productions. The use he 
has made of Mr. Giornovich’s idea does 
credit to his taste and faucy; and the 
Second movement is novel and uncom- 
~ monly engaying, while the third, by its 
gaiety and animation, forms a happy and 
Jadicious close to the whole. 
No. VIII. of the Cabinet, consisting of Rondos, 
Airs with Variations, and Military Pieces for 
the Piano forte. Composed and arranged by 
F. Weoelfl. As. 6d. 
Yhe- present Number of this usefil 
 hittle work consists ef the old popular 
air of the “ Recruiting Serjeant,” with 
Variations by the ingenious editor. They 
are written with spirit, yet are familiar 
in their style, and will be found improve 
ing to the juvenile fiager.

A Trip ta Dublin, a favsurite Dance, arranged 
asa Rondo for the Piano-forte Composed and 
inscribed to Miss M. Grainger, by. F. We 
Holder, Mus. Bac. Oxon, 2s. 
The pleasant, familiar style, in which 
Mr. Holder has arranged this little dance 
inte.a piano forte rondo, does credit to 
his taste. The lovers of short, light, 
airy, and well-variegated compositions, 
will listen with pleasure to every bar of 
a piece constructed with the fancy and 
ingenuity here exhibited, 
£6 Die Katze lasst das Mausen nicht,” with Vae 
riations for the Piano-forte. Composed and de- 
dicated to Lewontsscb, Esq: by dugustus 
Voight. 1s. 6d. 
Of this trifle we can have but little te 
say; but that little will be in its favour. 
It forms 2 practice for the piano-forte of 
a very pleasing description; and thoke 
young periormers who apply to it pro- 
perly, will find at not only pleasing, b

GERMANY, 
HWE French armies in Silesia, under 
Generals Mortier and Suchet, com- 
jise 65,000 men, and are to be rein- 
Freed by detachments trom the 4th di- 
vision, under the orders of Marshal Soult 
in Pomerania, and from the reserve 
which has its head quarters at Elbing. 
Massena is to command this army, which, 
in the event of a war with Austria, is-to 
penetrate into Moravia; itis now for 
the greater part encamped near Leuthen, 
Liegnitz, and Brieg. 
Davoust’s army, which is concentrat- 
ing on the Vistula, has been joined by 
the grenadiers and voltigeurs from Dant- 
wc, and by several battalions ftom the 
corps of Marshal Lasnes in Prussia. 
This army is estimated at 40,000 men, 
“independent of the Polish troops attached 
to it. An article in the Nachrichten 
States, that, during the month of July, 
15,000 French troops passed through 
Thorn for Posen or Warsaw. 
The French cavalry of reserve, which 
was stationed at Zclle, Luneburg, and 
other towns in Hanover, have been 
marched to Silesia or the Rhine, and their 
place has been supplied by conscripts. 
“Russian camps fate been formed in 
the neighbourlood of Memel, and at 
Witepsk, and a corps of about 20,000 
men is stationed near Bialistock; but a 
more considerable force bas been col- 
lected near Kaminie and Podolsky, the 
amount of which is variously represented 5 
some accounts stating it so high as 80,000 
men, and others at less than half that 
number; the reserve of the Cossacks. is 
at Mohilov. The important fact is, 
however, established, that Russia is arm- 
ing and establishing corps of observation 
on her frontiers. 
The Austrian Cordon, which was some 
months since established on the fron- 
tiers towards Saxony, Bavaria, and Italy, 
under pretext of preventing sinuygling, 
has recently been strengthened, partis 
cularly in Bohemia, where two summer 
camps have been formed: one of thent 
between Jrautnow, Kotzlirschoff, and 
Cotrigin, consists of about 30,000 men ; 
the other, in the neighbourhood of Pil- 
sen, ismore numerous. Several encamp-~ 
ments have likewise been formed in Ca- 
rinthia, Austria, and Moravia. A corps 
of observation has been assembled at 
Crainburg, on the Save; its force is not 
mentioned, but its ubject is, doubtless te 
watch the motions of the French troops 
in the Friuli.
