NURENI3ERC,- JUNE 19.1 A detachment of cavalry, supported by,? party of flying artillery, marched for Wurtzburg, to put a stop to the incursions of the Austrians. They conti nued their route as far as Bamberg; but the enemy. had already retreated. The General of Division Rivaud, is said to have proceeded into Franconia. _ A convoy of .54 vessels, laden n•ith wine, salt, &e. got safe into Genoa on the 11th inst. from Toulon, Marseilles, end Cette. In the Paris Papers of the 2.ith ult. we find the following articles Rumours of a peace were lately in circulation at Vienna—it was added, that an interview was to take place between thcir Majes ties the Emperors of Russia and .France. We know not what has given rise to these rumours."—" It has been rumoured at Nantes, on the authority 'of per sons sent home from Cayenne, that M. Hughes, the Imperial Commissary in that Settlement, had sold it to the English. Prudence prescribes, that we should wait for the decision of superior authority respecting the capitulation of Cayenne." The Director of the Customs at Paris has addres sed a "circula” letter to the Chambers of Commerce at the different rrench ports, of which the following is a copy : " Messieurs, his Majesty the Emperor and King has, by a special decree, authorised the Minister of the Interior to grant licences to foreign vessels to ex port the produce of our territory, and to import in return timber, for ship-building, hemp, masts, and iron, from the North, and also Peruvian bark, and other drugs. The vessel so licenced muit, on clearing outwards, be laden with the following arti cles oily, viz. --Wine, brandies, liqueurs, dried or preserved fruits, pickles, corn, and salt. On their return to our ports, they, must import no description whatsoever of colonial produce or rnerchanclize, ex cept as above specified ; for, should the articles even be of a description admissible in ordinary circum stances, they will, in the present case, be totally pro hibited. These licences will have the effect of exempting the vessels therewith provided, from the extraordi nary regulations of the Customs, and of confining the examinations to be made on their return, to the as certainment of the description of the commodities I.‘ hich are above specified, and whereof the importa tion is permitted, and this without rendering the Captains responsible in any other respect whatsoever. " The punishment for a violation of the conditions f the licence will be the confiscation of the property, fine upon the owner for violating his Majesty's rders, and the recal of the licence, as being null nd void." LEINDEN, lUNE no. According to letters from Turkey by way of Zara, the Turks and English had sent an expedition to the black Sea, for the purpose of invading the Crimea. .\t Trawnick, in Bosnia, two Turkish Officers had lsseried, that the Sultan had openly declared his de.;ire of being on friendly terms with France, of which that Power should soon receive the most de mon,trative proofs. MUNIcH, JUNE 16. A Major Pahler, styling himself Commander of Coe Tyrolese sharp-shooters of Scharnitz, sent ht a requisition i n uniting, to th e M ag i strates o f Newnan, , demanding 15 head of cattle and 60 quarters of wheat and ryt, to be delivered by the Syndic Reischer, before ten o'clock at night. If this requisition was not complied with, he threatened to permit his sol diers to supply themselves by forcible means. " I fed no want of force," he writes, " nor are my sharp- • shooters deficient in courage. If you do not comply with the above requisition in the strictest manner, I s hall grant permission to 6000 of my bravest and most skilful sharp-shooters, to pillage your town and its environs, to drive off 441 the cattle in the plains or on .the mountains, and to carry with them hostages f rom every place they visit, whom I shall retai n as p r e A t res ; until, besides the amo unt l ev i ed by piii4a.

Several British vessels had entered that port, where they had been received with great joy by the inhabitants. These letters announce that the whole of Gallich has been evacuated by the French armies under NEY and Somr. The united force of these Generals, reduced by war and disease to 12,000 men, are said to have retired into Leon, and the adjacent parts of Asturid, carrying with them no less than 6000 sick and wounded ; and, it Is asserted, that not one single French corps was in Gallicia on the 2Gth ult. Under date of Ferrol, June 29, a Gentleman writes as follows to his Nephew :--gl With the End help of our brothers, the English, the French have been ex posed to the necessity of abandoning this port, and there are not now, I . am confident, 4000 Frenchmen in all Gallicia." Of the action lately fought in Arragon betreeti the armies of General BLAKE and General Sovoirr, the following authentic particulars have been communi cated :—The enemy's force consisted of 8!00 men, including 500 cavalry, with three pieces of cannon ; the Spanish of 9600, including 000 cavalry, with twenty pieces of cannon. The enemy's loss was con siderable. UpwardS of 200 dead were buried, inde pendent of clime left dead on the field of battle.— ,, In the night of the 24th they retreated. Some accident occasioned an alarm amongst them, .and in the con fusion they fired upon each other.--The road towards St. Pierre was strewed With knapsacks.—Br.mte's army was increased to nearly 20,000; he w.ts ex pected to enter Saragossa, and it was supposed all the French would soon retire behind the Ebro." Letters from ansTA's head-quarters, of the 9th of June, state, that the French had then a force of 28,000 men, along the North of the Guadiana, and CUESTA 30,000, in goodorder and high spirits, in consequence of the news of the Austrian victories, and the ap pointmev of Marquis Wyn.LEstrr. VICTOR and all the other French corps are expected to retreat towards the Ebro, but we entertain hopes that some of their divisions will be cut off. MALTA AND GIBRALTAR. Mails from these places arrived this . day. The accounts from the latter are interesting. . " GIBRALTAR, JUNE 2. " Yesterday the SURVEILLANT(; frigate an - ived from Cadiz, having Lieutenant-General Sir JOHN CRADOCK and his suite on board—his Excellency being appointed to the command of this Garrison.— Sir .13/IN landed soon after his arrival. •L The 40th Regiment are now embarking on board of transports in the Bay, and sail for Lisbon the first fair wind, under convoy of the Nonoc. It is one of the finest Regiments in the service, in point of ap pearance and discipline. " By the latest accounts from Sicily, Sir JOHN STEWART had 10,000 British troops ready to embark at Melazzo, and it was expected that he would soon proceed to some part of the coast of Italy. " The accounts from Spain . continue favourable. The French armies are gradually melting, away by sickness and skirmishes, whilst those of the. Spaniards ate increasing." Yesterday a considerable number of vessels arrived from Holland unexpectedly, with corn i„ other com modities. The reason- assigned for thgir sudden de parture was, the expectation of an embargo being im posed throughout all the ports of that kingdom. They have brought very few papers, and no additional infor mation of importance on which we can rely. Gentleman who has arrived from that country has favoured us with some intelligence as to the situation of matters there at the present moment. The Dutch Go vernment, apprehending that the Secret Expedition is intended for the invasion of Holland, has thought fit to make great preparations for the public defence; but if a judgment may be formed from the vast collection of materials, the plan is so extensive that it cannot be com pleted for any immediate purpose. A large battery is constructing near the light-house, about seven miles from Amsterdam ; and numerous hands are em ployed, with a powerful system of machinery ? to drive prodigious piles into the earth, to give stabi lity to the embankment. The City is surrounded on the land side, by a great number of swag& bane.. ries, so that access, in that direction. Venll co be ! almost impossible.

It dies not appear that any acts of open hos tility !against the Constituted AUthorities have been committed ; but it is said that, for the last two years, the natives had been greatly irritated by the increased ctmtributions required. and by the obstruction of their commerce. It is added, that the demands of the State could not be satisfied, if it were not for occa sional indulgences granted to trading adventurers ; and that the dissatisfaction from such causes was so extensively diffused, that a separation from France, and an alliance with Great Britain, was considered as the only means of appeasing the general cr,s quietude, alleviating the public burdens, and restoring the national prosperity. Some of the letters from Holland mention the same fact that was stated in the Portuguese Journals re ceived yesterday—that King JOSEPH has again quit ted -Madrid, and proceeded towards the frontiers.— We know not what degree of credit is 4ne to tl;is I • news. COTTENBt'Rpi A Gottenburgh Mail arrived just as this Pape] was going to press. It contaips the following intel ligence : EXTRACT' FROM A LETTER O A SWEDISII OFFICER ON BOA RD THE BRIG FOUCHTA, DATED MALBIOR ROAD, Jilin 15 I' K On the 10th inst. the brig set sail from Rifwif jond, in company with two English. frigates, and ono, bomb ketch, one gun-brig and one cutter, and about 150 merchantmen, most of them Swedes ; we arrived here all safe tfie day before yesterday, at four o'clock in the afternoon. " Our intention was at first to go through the Belt: in consequence of a signal made by the English fri. gate Cerberus we stood on through the Sound. Be tween Neckspoint and Hammurnolla of the enemy's' gun-boats hove in sight, but kept close in with the coast. Some shot were fired against us from Kronenburgh, but did no execution. Off Helsing burgh our convoy was joined by the Africa, English' ship of the line—as soon as the wind serves we intend, to take our departure from hence, but the number of English arched ships which are to remain with us is uncertain." EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED rAnsttm, JUNE 22. " We have received information here by wny of Dantzic and Colberg, that a revolution had taken place at St. Peterslsurgh ; that the Emperor was de throned, and that his mother had taken the reins ef Government for the present ; and that Woionzow and his party had been massacred. You must not place too much confidence - in this information, though it is a thing likely to happen." BULLETIN OF THE IMPERIAL AND ROYAL AUSTRIAN ARMY. " Wolkerstiorf, June 18. " On the 15th inst. the corps under the command of his Imperial and Royal Highness the Archduke . John, composed of about 20,000 troops of the line, and 16,000 of the Hungarian Insurrection, were, in the environs of Raab, vigorously attacked by the French army, estimated at 50,000 men. " The troops of the line fought the whole day with greateA success, and the enemy suffered a loss of 2000 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 thought it most proper for the attainment cf his object to .fall. 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, %ventilted' , and some few prisoners. 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 Islands along the Dalmatian coast. General Marmont 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 encr l miss. The English on the one hand, and the Turks on the other, make common cause with the Austrian troops. " The enemy's corps under General Masmont is' reduced to 6000, and is posted at present between Laybach and Klagenfurth. But General Count Giulay is again master of the county, of Cilley, and immediately communicates with General Chastelar. The Austrian troops have.extended themselves from the Sontllern Tyrol, as far as Verona and Bassano." Captail BARCLAY WAS still r i ng QA at VA o'clock restordar soorninp ELLICINCE.
