BULLETIN OF THE. IMPERIAL AM) ROI . AI. AUSTRIAN ARMY. Wo!kereclorf, June 18. " On the 15th inst. the corps under the command of his Imperial and Royal Hi,zliness the Archduke John, composed of about '20,000 troops of the line, and 16000 of the Hungarian Insurrection, were, in the environs nj Raah, vigorously attacked by the French army, estimated at 50,000 men. " The troop; of the line fought the whole day with the greatest success, and the enemy suffered a loss of '2OOO men in killed and wounded. But as the right wing, consisting. for the most 'part of . the Insurrection, that could not be expected to possess the courage of veteran troops; was no match for the enemy., his Imperial and Royal Highness thoo s ; it most proper fin the attainment of his object all back to a position near Comorn, and thereby to se cure and facilitate his junction with the main army. " But this has caused no material change in the positions of the Imperial and Royal army; and the Archduke John praises highly the excellent disposi tion and patriotic alacrity of the troops of the Hun garian Insurrection. The Imperial and Royal Troops suffered in this engagement a loss of 1300 men in killed, wounded, and some few prisomers. About 400 Frenchmen were made prisoners by the Austrians. The enemy, so far from pursuing the Austrian troops, had again retreated behind the Raab. Dalmatia is again in the possession of the Imperial and Royal troops. — The enemy has been obliged to abandon Zen and Fiume, as well as the IsiaLds along the Dalmatian coast. General Ivlarmont retreated in such haste, that the Austrians made a number of prisoners. In the hospitals, too, the enemy left a number of wound ed, among whom are three French Generals, and one of them Launay. " Trieste must by this time be delivered from ene mies. The English en the one hand, and the Turks on the other, make commoti cause with the Austrian troops. " The enemy's corps urder General Marmont is ;educed to 6000, and is posted at present between Laybach and Klagenfurth. But General Count C inlay is again master of the county of and it mediately communicates with General Chastelar. '1 he Austrian troops have extended themselves from ti e Southern Tyrol, as far as Verona and Bassano." PROCLAMATION.

" In the danger of bankruptcy, which would have brought about a revolution, she has preferred to add 500 millibns to her paper-money, and try a last effort to have it circulated through Germany, Italy, and Poland. " It is very probable that this consideration has influenced more than any other her determinations. • 44 Not a single'regimen . t has been drawn fr6m Spain except the Imperial Guard. " General Count Lawriston continues the siege of Raab with the greatest activity. The town has been on fire for twenty-four hours, and the army which at Essling has gained so great a victory, that it took 20,000 muskets and 20;000 cuirasses ; that army which at Kitsee killed so many and made so many prisoners ; that army which, according to its apocry phal Bulletins, has gained such great advantages at the battle of Raab, tranquilly sees its principal places besieged and burnt, and Hungary inundated by par. ties, and to save its Empress, all the precious effects of Government have been removed to the frontiers of Turkey and to the utmost extremity of Europe. 64 An Austrian Major had the temerity to cross the Danube, at the mouth of the March, in two boats. General Gillyvieux met him with some corn ranies, drove him into the water, and made forty prisoners." Note—Kitsee is situated on the right bank of the Danube, and a league in the interior.

The following particulars are copied from the jour nal of one of the Of scers belonging to d - ,e GoLoriscit : " On the 7th and Bth of June, two barles were fought at Ponte and Mayo. (two villages at a short distance from Corunna) between a body of Spaniards, consisting of 12,000 men (SOOO of whom were new ra:sed pe-asantry) and the French army, consisting of 10,000, under Marshal NEY, who had marched from Corunna for the purpose of attacking- the Patriots. The contest on both days WAS most obstinately main tained on each side ; but, in the end, the enemy were compelled to yield to the superior bravery of the Spani;ads, who forced NEY to retreat, with the loss of 8000 infantry and 700 cavalry, a considerable number of whom were drowned by the blowing up of a bridge over which they were retreating. " After his retreat, Mar,hal NEY returned with the remains of his army to Corunna, t:king his wounded, who occupied 100 carts, with him. 66 Finding their situation at Corunna no longer tenable, they destroyed all their magazines, spiked their cannon, and. sunk a ship in the harbour, with 600 barrels of powder and 16 mortars on board, and destroyed several thousand muskets. " From the 10th to the 16th the enemy evacuated Corunna in several divisions, and form2d their camp at Monte Laguira, three leagues from the Cuesta de la Sal, on the road to Lugo. The enemy did not, however, finally evitcuate Corunna till the € . ...)2d June, when Marsll44l NEY serf quitted the place, leaving about 100 sick men in the hi-vitals. On the 011 June, the Marquis ROMANA was at Orense. with 20,000 men, but in great want of am munition : he was, however, in daily expectation of a supply crom Portugal, with a reinforcement of 13,000 men, by way of Chaves. The Marquis was waching* the remainder of SOULT'S army, who were in the mountains, about four leagues from Orense. " It was reported at Ferrol, on the thst, that Soma', having escaped from RoM.kNA, had fallen in with a Lady cf . Patriots, ccsnmanded by a General MotcpE CAIIA/ 1., and that he was defeated with the loss of an arm. " Ferrol, and all the batteries, were finally eva cuated by the enemy on the 2lst. FRENCH AND. DUTCH PAPERS. The CALLIOPE sloop, arrived in the Downs from cruize off Flushing, brings an account that the fleet in the Scheldt are again coming down the river. The CALLIOPE also repeats the report, brought a short time since by the Ft:aloes gun brig, respecting the capture or probable death of ,BONAPARTE. • We have received lifoniteurs to the Ist, and Dutch papers to the 6th inst. from which we have given some extracts in another column, and among them the Twenty-first Bulletin at length.—lt is too impor tant, as a document of the present French imbecility, to be given only in an abridged form. A Letter.from Dusseldorf, of the 24th ult. in the Anzzlerdam Gazette, states, that the Emperor NAPO LEON only waited the arrival of a Russian Army, 60,000 strong, before he rect mmenced his operations on the Danube. • A Polish army, headed by Juitomt, 1(410 ofWese.:, phalia, was also said to be ca its march to join the French armies. Statements of a similar nature appear in the French Journal, evid,.ntly with a view to keep clown the spi rit of insurrectiofi, which is general throughout the Continent. The insurrection in the Tyrol seems still to give great uneasiness to the surrounding partisans of the. French, and the rapid advance of the Duke of Bruns w•ick is noticed with evident symptoms of apprehen sion. DUTCH DECREE.--JUNE 30. Art.
