From Braunau, in Upper Austria, it is reported that the River Inn has cast on its banks several pieces of oldfashioned silver and gold plate, part of the treasure of the reigning house of Bavaria at the middle of the seventeenth century. When the Elector Maximilian, overwhelmed by the French and Swedes, fled to Austria with his treasure, one of his rowing boats was wrecked, in May, 1648, and eight oarsmen were drowned in the Inn. The treasure was lost. It is supposed that one of the plate chests i> now disintegrated, and the co limits are being carried down river.
