M. Sigismund Loyasz, governor of Trieste, 
have offered pecuniary contributions to 
assist in the military preparations which 
had been deemed necessary; in fact, 
the most enthusiastic and loyal spirit 
pervades every part -of the Austrian mo- 
narchy, the people identify their inter-

by a knowledge of the conduct of France 
towards those ceuntries which have faJ-

article; it exhibits the present irritation 
of the French government, and the state 
of the press and of information on the

“* The Publiciste of the 20th of July as- 
serts, on the authority of foreign journals, 
that the. Austrian troops were to evacuate 
Trieste and Fiume, and that both these 
places were to be occupied by the troops of a 
great power. This intelligence is false, and 
owes its origin to disaffected persons, who 
wish tocreate disturbance, to exasperatea great 
power, and to impel her to her own ruin, by 
inducing her to adopt a perverse system of 
policy. The French journals ought to be 
more circumspect, and not circulate any ab- 
surd and ridiculous rumoursanerely on the 
authority of foreign papers. 
“© The Journal de Empire says, that the 
arch-chancellor was to proceed tu Germany to 
organize the troops of the confederacy of’the 
Rhine, thus involving the French govern- 
ment ina misunderstanding with the allied 
states. Justice requires us to remark, that 
this journal says the intelligence was circu- 
Jated in Germany 3 but persons. of judgment 
will observe, that reports translated from 
foreign journals into French papers acquire 
grcater credit, and that the only olject. of 
such repeits must be to excite envy and ha-

“© Other journals talk of the expeditions 
which the English have sent to Sweden, 
consisting of 20,000 men, who were to be 
landed there inthe’ month of April. The

The truth is, that General Moore has 8000 
men, half English, half Germans, who have’ 
been for a month lying off Malmoe. During: 
this period ‘the Swedish frontiers have been 
attacked by the Danish army in Norway, and* 
the Swedish trodps have been every where 
defeated. Finland has been taken irom them 
by the Russians, who, whatever, may have 
been said, have not for a moment ceased to 
obtain the most brilliant advantages. Most 
certainly, it is not 8000 men that the English 
ought to send to support their ally. It ought 
tohave been 50,000 men, provided’ they, 
had them to send. Butin short the 8000 men

the Pacha of Widdin has bad an engagement 
with the Grand Vizir, and that from three. 
to four thousand men were ‘killed on both 
sides, and that the latter was defeated. How 
can meu repeat such idle stories? It is in. 
vain for the journalist to say that he has co-

no credit, which has for several years been 
conducted at the pleasure of the agents of
