NINETEENTH BULLETIN. " Vienna, Jane !O. , g The anniversary of the battle of Marengo has • been celebrated by the victory of the•Raela, which the right wing of the army, under the command of the Prince Viceroy, has obtained over the united corps of the Archduke John and the Archduke Palatine. " Since the battle of the Piave, the Viceroy has pursred the Arch dukcJahn at tl , e point of the bayonet. 46 The Austrian Army hoped to canton itself on tile banks of the Raab, between St. 'Gothard and liermonsh " On the sth June, the Viceroy advanced .from Neustadt, and established his head quarters at Oedenburgh, in Hungary. 44 On the 7th he followed up his 'movements, and arrived at Guns. General Lauriston, with his corps isf observation, formed a junction with his left wing. " On the Bth, General Montbrun, with his divi sien of cavalry, effected the =passage of Raabnitz, near Sovenyhaga, routed 300 cavalry of the Hunga rian 1 nsuri cction, and drove them towards Raab. " On the 9th, the Viceroy proceeded towards Satyr. The cavalry of General Grouchy fell in With the the enemy's rear-guard at Vasvar, and made some prisoners. On the 10th, General Macdonald arrived from Gratz at Kermond On the 11th, Ge - neral Grenier came up at Karako with a column of the enemy's flank corps which defended the bridge. He, however, passed the river in force. General Debroc made a brilliant charge with the 9th Hussars upon a bavalion el 400 men, 300 of whom were made prisoners. On the 12th, the army passed the bridge cf Merse, near Papa. The Viceroy, from the height, observed the whole hostile army in battle array. General Montbrun deboucluil in the plain, and charged the ,enemy's cavalry, which he com pletely overthrew, after having made many skilful manoeuvres. The enemy had already begun to re: treat. The Viceroy passed the night at Papa. On the 13th, at 5 A. M. the army marched towards Raab. Our cavalry and the Austrians shored diem- Selves near the village of Szarach. The enemy were defeated, and we took 400 prisoners. The Arch due Jolla having united with the Archduke Pala tine, took a fine position upon some heights, the right wing resting upon Raab, a fortified town, and the left covering the road of Comorn, another strong place of Hungary. " On the 14th, at 11 P. M. the Viceroy drew up kis army in order of battle, and with 35,000 men at tacked 50,000 of the enemy. But the zeal of oar troops was animated by the recollection of the nte -morable victory which had sanctified. this day.—Ail soldiers shouted with joy when they saw the • enemy, who were pleced in three lines, consisting of from 20 to 25,000 men of the remains oldie fine arm y of Italy which had already imagined itselfmastersof Italy—of 10,000 men ender General Haddick—ot 5 or 0000 men of the remains of jellachich's corps, and the corps of the Tyrol, which had joined the army through the passes of Carinthia—cf 10 or 1200 of the Hungarian insurrection. " Tire Viceroy placed General Montbrun's ca valry, the lireade of General Colbert, and the ca valry of aheicral Grouchy, in his right wing—the corps of General Cienier formed two platoons, whereof Geberal Serre's division was the right one.— I , the advanced guard an Italian division, COM r- !”4cd by General Baraguay D'Hilliers, formed a tha platoon.—The reserve of General Puthod lea need the reserve—General I.auriston, with his corps of observation, supported by General Sabre, formed the extremity of the left wing, and watched Raab. " At two in the afternoon the cannonade began. At three our second and third platoons were en gaged. The fire firm the musketry was severe. The first line of the enemy was ovei thrown ; but the second withstood for a moment the shock of our first division, which being speedily reinforced. also overthrew the line of the enemy. The enemy's reserve then appeared. On his side the Viceroy, who followed all his movements, advanced as hb his re serve. The fine position of the Austrians was taken, and at four the victory was decisive. The enemy, 'a ho were in complete disorder, could not easily unite, so that in no way was the movement of our cavalry cbstrected.—Three thousand prhoners, S; X. pieces of cannon, and four standards are the memorials of this atchievemeet. The enemy left 3000 dead' cn the field of battle, among whom is a :.lajar- General. Our less amounts to 9‘ao k:lled and , wounded —Among the first is Colonel Thierry ; among the latter, Bi igadier-General Valentine and Colonel Ecpent." [Her? i - ollass p:ant of tht difftrent French Centres and 2i vibions.l " The field of battle had long been pitched upon by the enemy, who had determined to make a stard in that fine posi:ion. On the 15th, he was closely pursued on the road cf C:cinorn and Pest. The in habitants of the cautery remain tranquil, And take no part in tee war. The Emperor's proclamation has set men's minds reflecting. It is known that the Hungarian nation always desired its independence. i h e part of the iesurrection which is now with the army was raised by the last diet ; it is in arms, and does duty." FRLNKFORT, JUNE £O. According to official acceunts, a Rwesian column under Prince Suw:arow joined Prince Poniatcrvski en the 9th inst. between Sandonia and Lublin. Letters of the ;;;Itli May, from Petersburgh, make 110 lineation of his MJesty's departure for the army. LONDON. .I•••••mii•mmmim SATURDAY, JULY 1.

Vic•roa's army, after having advanced so far on the A/ay to join SouLT, had again retreated; and the Private Letters by the Joslyn state, that Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY was closely pur. suing the former. SorLT'S army, reduced to 8000 men, had reached the North of Spain in a miterable'condi tion, and was threatened by the Patriots. Govern ment have also received dispatches from Sir A.WEL. LESLEY, by the Josepl , but their contents are net suppOsed to be of much importance. Upon the whole, the condition of our British and Portuguese armies in Portugal is evidently improving, while that of the French is daily more hopeless. A fever is said to ha% e broken out among the latter. The following is an Extract of a Private Letter from Lisbon, dated 6th June ; A vessel arrived here this morning from the Mediterranean, which-brings a report that the 411)4 bitants of Genoa had risen and massacred every Frenchman in the city. It is also rumoured that Soult, after having surrendered to the Marquis de la Ro mana, was shot while endeavouring to effect his escape." SEVILLE, MAY SS. A division of 4500 men, commanded by General Bonnet, has been entirely def'ated at Sahagan by the division of the Marquis de Romana. In conseqbence of this defeat the road to St. Ander is open. The Duke of Albuquerque slept on the 17th at Ronquillo, and followed Cuesta. A great number of artillerymen will be imme diately sent to Callicia. LISBON, JUNE 6. The last aecou2N from- the frontiers of Alern-',Tejo continue to speak of the retreat of Victor ; a consi. derable part of his forces are, it is said, in the vicinity of the Bridge of Almaraz. COIMBRA, JUNE S. • According to intelligence from Badajos of the 26th ult. it appears that the. army of Victor was re tiring towards its former posh on, abandoning Alcan-, tara. The French column which w7.s stated in our last to have been )eaten neat . - Lugo, Monp:ed to Mar shal Ney, , and not to Sonic, who, according to the latesraccounts, was at Alhatiz. The Marquis or Romana is preparing to attack him. • General Victor is . ,:ucamped in Torryquiemada and its ezvirens, with the grenadiers of the division of Lai'esse, which consists of .7'UO infantry and 7(O cavalry. General Vtlaqe is at Torre Orgas, where he occupies the palace of the Marquis, with three tiler Generals and the officers of his clivkion, which, in number 8000, is encamped in that ncighhourLood. In Torre Mocha and Rhanes there is another divi-• sion of infantry. The cavalry of the vanguard is' stationed at Truxillo, where, on the 21th ult. arrived 300 covered carts, and for which place the sick and wounded had set out from Caceus. The whole of his artillery is placed on the bridges of Torre Orgiz, Torremscha, and Botija. In every town through • which he passed, he has committed the greatest bar barities, killing all who attempted to escape to the mountains. Soon after our paper was put to press yesterday, we received Dutch papers to the Z - th June. Their contents serve to explain the cause of the firing from the batteries on the French coast the night bef , re last. The commencement of the 19th French Bullptin is theatric--"• The anniversary of the battle of Marengo has been celebrated by the victoty of the Raab," but we venture to assert that- a the victory of the Raab" will not have its anniversary celebrated. The bulletin is dated from Vienna the 16th ult. and announces a battle between the Archduke JOHN and the Archduke PALATINE, on one side, and the Viceroy of Italy on the other. The French claim the victory. The Austrians, they say, lefl SCOO dead upon the field, lost :30(tO prisoners, six pieces of cannon, and four standards. Their own loss they estimate at about 9M killed and wounded. The French admit a loss of 9CO in obtaining this victory. Our Readers will recollect that their loss, according to their own statement, in the battle of the 21st and 2r.%! May, was only 1100, and from a com parison they will he able to form- some opinion of the kind of victory they have obtained upon the present occasion. We have no doubt that the eneniy has given more importance to this affair than it deserves. 111? main- army undLr NAPOLLON seemed, from its long inactivity, to require a little auxiliary bolster ing, and hence the labalred details of the battle of Raab, which evidently was of much less importance than that of the Piave of which mush less was said. ' 1 It is pleasing :Aso to observe, corps of Austrians, which were -assorted to have been completely de-1 stroyed, starting up anew, and still giving the enemy convincing proofs of their existence. Thus we find J►z.r , nctucri's corps and the corps that was in the Ty. rol have effected their retreat through Carinthia, and .;.ar. •.', • the arierorthe Archduke lowa The; ulxa kittens of Hungary are said to remain tranquil, but this we de not believe, indeed from ten to l 2,000 of the Hungarian insurrection are admitted to have been in the battle. We are strongly inclinedto believe that the rumours which came so repeatedly from Holland of tbe French having sustained a defeat, had its origin in the events detailed in this bulletin and we expect when the Austrian accounts 'shall arrive that they will be found to claim the victqry.—ln fact the vessefby which these papers arrived, has again brought the same report, wkich chews very plainly what is the general senti ment in Holland respecting the present state of affairs with the contending armies. The private letters, which come down to the 28th ult. *confirm the accounts before received of the King of Wesrenaua having been obliged, in consequence of the height to which the insurrection in the North has been carried, to fly to Franckfort for refuge—No,r are they free from apprehensions in Holland, that an insurrection will soon break Out in that country in. deed some of the letters assert that in some district, the Dutch, oppressed by the severity of the conscrir tion, and irritated by the destruction of their corn. merce, had actually broken out into open acts of hos _ _ This Dutch Papers mention, on the authority of the Parisian Journals, that ALLXANDUR had not -quit, ted his capital on the 30th of May. In letters dated =►.he 7th-instant, no notice is taken pf his departure at that time. Last night a mail arrived from Heligoland, and brotighi letters to the 27th instant. They speak fa vourably of the state of aiLirs, which were there un derstood to look favourable to the Austrians. Some of the letters state, that both Hamburgh and Bremen had been abandoned by the French ; but they had so few troops in' these cities, that the information is not of consequence, otherwise than as is shews that the enemy is under such embarrassment in the South of Germany, that he finds it expedient for the purpose of acquiring a trifling accession cf strength, to withdraw his forces from these important situations . The following setter, which has been received from a very respectable quarter, confirms the statements already given of the commercial policy maintained by the Court of Russia : " RIGA; JUNE 9. " The riot severe• measures are resorted to, to prevent any thing frcm England being admitted. Near 15 vessels and cargoes ,are already condemned; the Danish and French Ministers having , severally declared the certificates' ces.nterfeit, which have been e.,:tihited from Bergen and ports of HolMnd. A Commiodon, in which all the Consuls are to sit, has been appointed to examine tilt I.:trent of every vessel that enters any Russian port.. This ;:in a.ly causes much delay ;'and a large premium is to he held out for every one that proves a fraud, in which the Captain and crew tro to participate, if they favour the condemnation, which fol lows of course." By letters from Heligoland, of the 10th inst. we understand, that the quantity of rfp:Tchandize, at pre sent on the island, is immense. The beach is literally strewed with goods, for whick it is.almost impossible to find ware; on:c room ; and upwards of 40 vessels scci-e waiting till the shore was clear to discharge their cargoes.
