Ai - ed till noon, when the insurgents went to meet the Ist division, coming from the Brenner. The 3d division resolutely maintained its position. A farm yard, situated on the heights of the left bank of the Inn, in which the insurgents had made a stard, was taken by storm, by a detachment of the sth regiment of infan try, and the light battalion of Butler. On the 15th the insurgents, with superior force, and from the same points, made a fresh and very lively attack on the advanced posts stationed on the right bank of tl elan. The darkness of the night alone put an end to the conflict. The troops fought with signal bravery, and resolutely kept their position. Sometimes the enemy succeeded by superior numbers, to drive back some posts ; but the same moment the heights were again climbed au pas de charge, and the insurgents repulsed. " The small firing continued on the 7th, Bth, and 9th of August, detachments were sent to the moun t:tins to clear them from the rebels, and drive the cat tle together. They climbed the steepest heights with equal courage and rapidity,, routed the rebels, burnt the houses from which fire had been given, and brought in a couple of hundred heads of cattle ; but the First Lieutenant, Picton, and Lieut. Brattria, lost their lives on this occasion, besides one private ' Lieut. Xylander, with 13 privates, were wounded.

THE rrit 2L WAR. id Under the protection or a heavy firs, about 60 insurgents run out on the road before Rattenberg ; part of the rear met and repulsed them with the loss of 20 men. Jt is only attributed to the impetuosity of the soldiers, which nothing could restrain, that the whole band was not cut off. A company of grena diers of the Bth regiment of the line was detached to the heights, from which the insurgents even fired into the camp, and threw up howitzer grenadoes. At the march from Rattenberg the insurgents still fired on the rear, and threatened to come down into the plain that opens there. A troop of cavalry that was sent against them, terrified them so much, that they run up the mountains and desisted from every pursuit. From thence the march was continued without mo lestation. The troops passed the night under arms near Woepe. At twelve o'clock in the night, between the 17th and 18th, the divisions passed the bridge of the Ach, whence the first, with the Saxon corps, moved to St. Johann, and arrived at Saltzburgh on the 20th ; but the third moved to Kufstein and reached it on the 18th."

Letters from Gijon state, that there had been ac tions during several successive days, between the Spaniards and French at Astorga ; that, on the 3d, the French retired to the city, from which they wore soon expelled by the patriotism of the inhabitants, aided by the valour of the native military without the gates, and with considerable loss. The same letter also mentions, that General BALLASTIROS, with a detachment of between ten and twelve thousand men, had marched to Ciudad Rodrigo, to reinforce that city, threated by the Duke of ELCHINGEN. " LISBON, OCTOBER 21. gg A great number of transports arrived here yes terday from England, with stores and a train of ar tillery. Lord WELLINGTON and General BERESFORD are still here, but will join their respective armies in the beginning of next week. Our officers who are' here on leave of absence complain much, and are completely tired of the campaign. Lord WELLINGTON is making every preparation to act on the defensive, by erecting forts in different parts of the country ; and our troops are daily recovering from their sick ness : small bodies, as fast as they recover, are sent up the country to join the army ; but a great many of them died here. The English burying-ground isfull, and they have been obliged to turn several convents into hospitals for the wounded. We have nothing respecting the movements of the enemy : the last ac counts stated that they were in great force at Sala manca ; but nothing decisive is expected to take place during the winter." Letters from Holland of the 2d inst. state that a formidable force will shortly be assembled round Walcheren, for the purpose of depriving us of that Island. The army that was forming in Wt stphalia has already been ordered to march for the neighbour hood of AntWerp and Bergen-op-Zoom ; and d strong detachment from the corps under the command of DAvousr lately passed through Bayreuth, for the same destination. It was reported that NAPOLEON had arrived at Fontainbleau on the night of the 27th ult. German papers and private letters to the 28th ult. have also arrived. Their contents only serve to shew how little is known in Germany of the real state of continental politics. Public discussions are not per mitted—the press is fettered. It would be vain to expect any thing profound or satisfactory from such a quarter. We can, therefore, only submit to our readers the accounts as they reach us. PRIVATE LE'TT'ER. BANKS OF THE ELBE, OCTOBER 27. The greatest mystery still prevails respecting the conditions of peace. Even at Vienna the people were quite ignorant of them on the 15th inst. and when the cannon were fired on the 14th, the inhabitants sup posed is was occasioned by the blowing up of the for tifications. _ A private letter says, that 100,000 men of the grand army will immediately march to Spain, and that 100,000 more will remain in Austria till the conclusion of a general pease. An army of reserve is to be stationed in the environs of Frankfort, corn mandedby the Duke of Abrantes,or Marshal Oudinot. The signature of peace betweeen Austria and France is officially confirmed from every quarter ; but great doubts are still entertained by politicians, whether the Emperor Francis will ratify the Treaty, or Russia guarantee it. The prolonged stay of Na poleon in Austria, five days after the signing of the Treaty, occasions a multitude of doubts and conjec tures, which daily multiply more and mare, owing to the protracted delay of the publication of the Treaty. It should seem that Austria did not ap. prove of it, because it has not yet been published. Some private letters from Courland, received yes terday, say, that it was reported from St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor Alexander was not satisfied with the changes which Napoleon intends to make with regard to the future state and government of Poland, and that an army of 60,000 additional troops had re, ceived orders to march into Gallicia. It is generally asserted that the frittee o Polite _. s ~—~:~.—T... _~_ Corvo, GovetErZeneral of tfte Hens -towns, soon be raised to a much higher dignity than he; .4 holds. Another French army will, it is said, 5,, 0 , 1 be stationed at Hamburgh and its environs. A mercantile house at Hamburgh is reported to have received intelligence from the South of France, that the Toulon fleet had sailed, and was pursued hi the British. The French Minister, ReinthArd, at the . Court of Cassel, is now at Hamburgh, charged %i t h a mission from his Government, as well as from t i e King of Westphalia. The King of Denmark almost daily sends some of his naval officers to Holland, from whence they go to serve in the French fl e e t iu the Scheldt. • The news of Admiral Sir James Saumarez having entered the Swedish port of Carlscrona with th e B r i. tish fleet, has roused the jealousy of the Darv.s, rh o , in their Official Newspapers say that this pro cee d: fig ought to be considered as a violation of the treaty re. cently concluded between Russia and Sweden. Ti re city of Hamburgh has no garrison of foreign troop s , but the Douaniers and the French military Comman. dant, General . Dumas, still remain there. PgrituntißGH, OCTOBER 7. The Sup/Ike:aft to the Coif: Gazette of this day cot, tains a continuation of the Report of the Mi l; jury Operations of the Moldavian Army, in substance as follows :—After taking the fortress of Issatschi and Tulschi, the corps of the Moldavian army coi n . mended by Lieut... General Meloraclowich, had an oh. stinate engagement of threehours, near tb fortress of Giourgi. The fortress of Nattchin and the fortress of Girsowo, both after a violent bombardment, sur. rendered at discretion. On the 11th, the above.men. tioned carps crossed the Danube. The fortress of Ismael continue, to be blockaded. Prince Bagra;. chion, Commanarr. in Chief of the principal corps, left the camp at the mouth of the Bay of Nattchin on the 21st August, for Girsowo, and on the 22d, arrived in the camp near Dogunl The English squadron which was off Revel during the whole summer,has left that station since advice has been received of the peace between Russia an d S we . den. The ratifications of the treaty with Sweden have not yet been exchanged. The goods of English origin now in Sweden, are deemed by virtue cf the treaty Swedish property. Swedish Finland is to pre serve its former constitution, &c. Three American vessels have already arrived at Cronstadt with goods from Gottcnburgh. The army in Moldavia, has, we are informed, again obtainai considerable advantages over the Turks. Colon' tl produce continues high in price. The course of ex. change is low. Dutch ducats are at seven rubles E copecs in bank bills. WARSAW, OCTOBER ii. Prince Gallitzin, the Russian Commander in (lid. has received orders from his Monarch to keep up ;good harmony with the Polish army in Gallicia, which is immediately under the command of the Emperor Na. poleon, and to treat the inhabitants with ercry ble indulgence. For some days past, our national guards have been doing garrison duty—all the tre , :p; having marched from hence to the army at Cracow. Almost every day, waggons, with ammunition, pre. vision, and forage, go to the army, and for this per. pose a great number of horses are kept in readiness at every station from here to Cracow. For some days the conscripts for the department of Warsaw have been levied.—Corresrpendent. The fortress of Ismael has at length capitulated. This event took place on the 14th nefieptember, after an action in which the Turks lost 5000 men in killed, besides 15 pieces of cannon and SO standards. AUGSBURG, OCTOBER t. The city is still in a state of siege, and will pro. bably continue so until the riots and disturbances in the Tyrol have been quelled. COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER 14.

The wind increasing, the former escaped, but the latter, after having a few shot fired into her, was compelled to strike. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 11. A detachment of Westphalian troops has today conducted through this place fifty prisoners, being part of the troops which were commanded by the Duke of Brunswick Oels. They► are almost all se• verely wounded. LOWER ELBE, OCTOBER 17. It is asserted that the Officers of the Imperial Guard were informed, that they would be allowed to remain only three days on their return to Paris, when tlicy would be obliged to set off with all speed to Spain. Private letters from Sweden state, that the ports o 1 that kingdom will be only nominally closed again': this country. The treaty of peace With Russ; , 1 , 11. questionably states, that after the Ic2th inst. Ito bri; tish vessels, produce, or manufactures, should be ad. mined into Sweden ; but it is said that, in con .L.• quence of the earnest representations or the Court of Stockholm, the Emperor ALEXANDER vas rie:PA'a to consent, that the %elusion should not be strictly enforced. i : I V _ ~'Pf.
