e F FCREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BATTLE OF WAGRAM. The following is the Austrian official account of ' the bittle of Wt gram, as published in the Austrian' Gazettes, dated tram the head quarters of the Arch duke Charles, 29th July, Lt appears likewise in the riam!uirgh Corresponcie t, cif I lth August, but gar bled, the pas.ages iirk ics having. been suppressed. " Scarcely had the patting of the 6th begun to break, when the enemy's•army, corinposed of a force which since the earliest times has perhaps never been collected in one point, appeared at the distance of a lertg cannon shot. " It was esimated at from 140 to 150,000 men. Ac cording to the latest statements of the .Fin , 'zeror Napoleon himself and his Generals, it cr:nsisted it 180,000 comba tants. On the part of the Imperial fluirians st;t q!eite. 100,000 men v'h - re in the . frld on the da7 of I , lttle. Tie atta4: h..oan with a brink c.ltur?:ade all along- the line, ceiiei the mint/ answered ly a fin-. Alperin. number of hea.ny ordnance, and kept it up till night without inter ruption. The right wing of the Austrians made the most splendid progress. ifilluleor: war t:i..n, and the enemy driven front Rumearunn, Brectente, and Hu•eh stelley. The enemy's eavalty en the left win; coat com pletely routed ; and Field Marshal Lieut. Klenau with the six corps which he commanded in the room of Field Marshal Lieut. Holler, who was taken ill, pe netrated in the enemy's left flank as far as Esslingen, Aspern, and the town of Enzersdorf, made himself master of our entrenchments which we had abandon ed the day before, took ten pieces of cannon, and soiree thousands of . prisoner:, besides one eagle and several stands of colours. In the mean time the French centre, where the. Emperor Napoleon was, did not move from the spot at Raschdorf ; it was stationed there in several ranks, consisting of upwards of sixty thousand men strong, and continually lengthened its right wing opposite the left of the Austrians, till the latter was quite overwhelmed, about noon, by a mass of cavalry and a great quantity of artillery. The corps which had been expected from Marcheck, did not arrive, and it was easy for the enemy to outflank our left wing : their violent cross-fire soon silenced our batteries. 1 " Our 4th corps, which was placed nn our extreme left, was repu;sed, and the heights in that quarter oc curiPd by the enemy. 4 , By this the second corps in the centre was not otlly prevented from undertaking the attack against R.isclll ,, rt, but was itselCoverwhelmed and forced to retreat to the causeway of Brann, while the enemy had a:read v ga;ned Poksteis and Enzersdorf, and was thn.At.-ninK the m-id to Walkensdorf in the rear of tiu In.pei i;tl Royal army. Night put an end to the acticn. In battle eight pieces of cannon were lost ; in the retre it. none ; ond the ten pieces of cannon taken were carried otf. The Archduke John arrived in dle afternoon near Siebenhrunn. after the battle WAS & decided, and then went back again behind the Tne army continued its retreat till the 9th, on the Prag,k: roaq, as far as Gantersdorf. The rear had obstinate engagements daily, during which, Kornen burg and H,,llenbrunn took fire, and the army was alway ready for battle. " On the 1 I di, shortly before sun -set, in the hottest of the action, when both armies were for the most part drawn tip facing one another, a formal conference took place; after some mutual messages, and at last a temporary arnktice,the want of which was equally felt by both 'armies, after an uninterrupted conilict of eight days,• and being overcome with fatigue. Ii consequence an armistice was concluded on the 12th, by which hostilities are suspended for four weeks, and fourteen days' notice to he given before breaking it ; and the Austrian army has taken a retrograde posi tion in Moravia and the adjoiniag districts of Bohe mia, to enjoy some repose after the unheard-of toils of the last eight days." GRATZ, JULY In consequence of the armistice, the nine corps of the Imperial Austrian army, under Field-Marshal Guilav, which till now occupied cur environs, retrea ted cn the morning of the 21th to Hungary, behind the line of demarcation. On. the same day a corps, consisting of Frenchmen and Wirtembergers, under Marshal Macdonald, arrived at and occupied this city and its environs, and on the 'Lid the citadel was surrendered, and the garrison marched out with the honours of war. Styria must furnish as speedily as possible to the Imperial Magazines at Vienna, 6000 loads of wheat, and 6000 of rye. VIENNA, JULY o. The Gazette of this day contain& the following ar ticle : " The citadel of Gratz was put in possession of the French troops on the 23d inst. The corps of Ge neral Macdonald entered it." Besides the requisitions lately made, there has been ar. , ther issued for 100,000 ells of cloth, and a great qv:unity of linen, bleached and unbleached, and also el leather.

The march of troops through this city still con. tinues ; for the four last days, we have witnessed the arrival of several regiments of .chasseurs, cuirassiers, several hundred infantry and horse grenadiers, and a detachment of gendarmerie; the whole of those troops proceed to Austria. MORAVIA, AUGUST 1. We learn that the Archduke Charles has resigned the command of the army, on account of ill-health, and that Prince John of Lichtenstein had assumed the same, ad interim. The Archduke Charles, In the General Orders which he has issued to the army, says, among other things, he rejoices in resigning the com mand to so excellent a General, who will lead the army to new exploits. The army which, besides the reserve and the Hun garians, is estimated at 147,000 men, has its head quarters at Cremsie, where the centre is. The right wing is at Olmutz and the left at Holitsch. The Emperor Francis has at present the chief com mand of the army. Under him command the Prince Lichten:,tein, the Archduke John, ana Generals Hiller, Cliasteiler, Ste. ULM, AUGUST 1. We read in the Gazette Universallc, the following article, under the head of Bohemia; " The camp which was to have been formed in the neighbourhood of Klatt:ut will not take place ; the landw2hr (militia) of this Circle, which till now have been in the environs of Wuldau, have rejoined the army ; that part which bivouacked near Teinig, Frau enberg, and Heid, and which was to have gone to Bareuth, have received counter-orders ; Teresinstadt will be evacuated ; the artillery and ammunition has been sent to Prague in 300 carriages ; immense re. doubts are constructing, without intermission, in the environs of this city ; all the peasantry, even those of the circle Of Pilsen, have been put in requisition for these works, as also the horses. The inhabitants have received notice to furnish themselves with six months provisions. The whole collected corps of the Austrian army will encamp on the Weissenberg (white mountain) ; and if peace does not take place, a last battle will decide the fate of the monarchy." BRANDENBURGH, AUGUST e. There is not yet at.) , official account respecting the rumour of notice having been given to break off the Armistice. THE MAYNE, AUGUST n. The troops which had been ordered to cross the Rhine at Strasburg!), have received orders to halt. HEUGOL AND, AUGUST I I. All letters reaching us, via Berlin, from Bohemia, Moravia, and Austrian Silesia, render the prospect of peace very uncertain. The Prague official Gazette, f the 3d instant, even boasts cf resources which the Austrian army still has, for carrying on the \val. with effect. The Austrian army will, it is said, not in cluding the landwehr be sh9rtly increased to 350,0(X) men. Yesterday the rumour of notice having been given by the Austrians to the French, on the Mar of July, that the Armistic would be broken, was general on the Hambur.,.h Exchange ; and the rich Jew broker, Herscher, actually receivcLl this intelligence by an estafette, Irorn a cerrespondent in Bohemia.

Gs tGS A Gotter.burgh Mail arrived this morning, from the Papers brought by which we have subjoined some extracts. It would appear, that an accommodation between Russia and Sweden is not far distant : at all events, the Swedes are making vigorous preparations for a respectable defence against any future hostile invasions. We have already stated from the foreign papers, the departure of the POPE from Italy, as was supposed, for Avignon, in France. The Swedish Papers state, on the authority of letters from Leghorn, that his Holiness went under a guard. Our Readers will see, from the article dated Hel singburgh, that the Danes have somewloat relaxed in their regulations against the admission of British and produce. EXTRACT OF A J.EI IER FRO'n IfELSINGBURGII OF ACC. P. 66 Thc oil!y nev-s of importance from Denmark is, that the Danish Government will not, for the pre sent, licence any more privateers, and that the Ame rican ships lately taken will be liberated, as it is in. tended to encourage neutral trade as much as possible, in consequenc,_! of the great distress telt for the want of colonial produce." COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 4. On the 2 i tli of last month public notice was given by our Government, - that all vessels of friendly and neutral nations will henceforth be allowed to clear out, with such goods as are permitted according to the Royal Ordinan.;es, without giving any security in fu, ture, so that the Edict of the sth January s 1808, i 6 thereby revoked. cARLstIAM, AUGUST K. _ _ - • . The whole of the garrison of the Island of Erth olme has deserted, hving first spiked all the guns, destroyed the magazines, and carried away all the. small arms. They arrived here yesterday in two vessels which they seized for the purpose of making t1:::ir escape. • CAILSCIONA, Al OUST 6. The convoy which sailed from hence on. the Sd inst. put back into this port last evening. Three vessels get damaged, and our galliot a Russian prize sunk. From Carlsham we learn that 200 Danish soldiers arrived there yesterday from Ertholme, from which place they deserted after having spiked all the guns. A Captain of a vessel who arrived this morning from Riga, says, that all Russian ships have been put us. der embargo in the Russian ports, and it is expected a general embargo will take place immediately. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 8. We have no kind of intelligence from our navy or army, but entertain the most sanguine hopes, that peace between this country and Russia will soon be concluded. A message sent to the Diet by his Royal Majesty, on the '26th of last month, relative tc the state of defence of this country, contains the follow. ing passage Although his Royal Majesty still hopes that a peace, which is so earnestly desired by the Icing, as well as his faithful subjects, will soon be concluded, yet his Royal Majesty feels obliged to pursue the most effectual measures of defence with the utmost vigour, which alone can induce our ene. lilies to agree to such terms, as the honour and inde. peudence of the country require, which his Majesty is firmly determined to assert and maintain." A letter from Archangel of the 23d of June, states, that the English have withdrawn 'from that part ; that the navigation is perfectly free, and that an American ship from Baltimore, and a Russian vessel, have already arrived iu that harbour. GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 1 1 . Yesterday morning the Danish Agent here, Mr. Foya, received orders to repair immediately to Co. penhagen to have an interview with the King. The business seems so urgent, that- his instructions are to make the greatest exertions on his journey, and that on his arrival, he will not even wait to alter his dress before he has an audience of his Majesty. Letters and Papers from Paris, of so late a date as the 17th, were received yesterday. They state that Peace between Austria and France was signed on the 10th ; but this we know to be erroneous, from having previously received accounts from Vienna of the 12th (two days later), which positively state that no such event had then taken place. We mentioned yesterday the arrival of German Papers to the 13th. A vessel, which left the Mouth of the Elbe so late as last Monday, has also arrived. No account had at that time' rrived from the seat of war, either of the conclusion of peace, or the arrange meat of preliminaries for that purpose. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Princess Au- Gusra, 'and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, accompanied by Lady THYNNE, Generals CARTwitIGHT, FITZROY, Colonels TAYLOR and DESBROW, rode in Wi n d sor - Park till twelve o'clock, and then returned to the Palace. The Princess SOPHIA still continues indisposed, and unable to accompany his MAJESTY in his usual ride. The Princesses A MELIA and MARY, with their at tendants, leave Windsor on Monday, and proceed on their excursion to Weymouth. A Mail for the Island of Walcheren will be made up at the Post Office, this evening. Another will be forwarded thither next week. We have received American letters and papers to the 27th ult. and we have the satisfaction to affirm, from all we can collect of the disposition manifested in the United States, both by the public authorities and private individuals, that the pause in the nego tiation with that Government will not lead either to hostility, or even to that temporary cessation of confi dence between the High Contracting Parties, which will be attended with pernicious consequences to trade. A letter from Boston, of the 23d ult. is written under the full conviction that no war will result from the impediment to the negotiation, and observes, th.tt the ultimate arrangement must be suspended until the arrival of Mr. JACKSON, as, under the present circumstances, the Government could not renew the disciusions with Mr. ERSKINE, both from motives of delicacy to him, and from the proper respect to its own character and dignity. Another letter from the same place, dated three days afterwards, acquaints us, that the alarm excited by the refusal of Great Britain to ratify the engage. ments of the English Envoy, has, in a great d:grce, subsided. It says, that no apprehensions were then entertained, that Mr. JACKSON'S mediation would not be so far effectual as to prevent the possibility of a rupture. It adds, that the people of America pro mise themselves the most agreeable result from this mission ; and that they breathe nothing hut a spirit of amity and conciliation towards this country. ' Some further particulars on the same subject will be seen in the selections we have made from the Ame. rican papers ; and we have extracted other passages to shew the public sentiment in Amerka with respect to France, considering, that the negotiation with this country will be materially and beneficially influenced by it. A few days since a second skeleton was found at Plymouth, the feet of which were not more than nine or ten inches under the surface, on the slope of the old glacis. As the old glacis was made about 30 years ago, and the earth all thrown out of the ditch, these discoveries have excited various conjectures ; the most probable of which is (as there was no fracture visible in either of the Skeletons, and more than one being found), that several thousand workmen have been employed on the original work, and a great mortality having happened at the time, the work- ; men, several of whom diecl on the spot, buried their companions on the glacis, which slopes pretty steeply, the heads being several feet under the surface, and the feet but a trifling depth in consequence.
