Bank Stuck for acc. 260 Consols, for acc. 09if We have great satisfaction in announcing, that, by another dogger from Holland, which arrived at Yarmouth the night before last, intelligence has again been received, in private letters, that the French and Austrian armies on the Danube were engaged on the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th instant . ; and that the re port in Holland is, that the Archduke CHARLES was victorious !—Government have received similar ac counts to those published in the STAR of Saturday and yesterday, but not official ; and to us it appears hardly possible that the same accounts should have been received on three different days from Holland, and yet prove to be entirely unfounded. A similar report has also been received from Flushing, with the addition of a circumstance which we can hardly creclit-- . -that NAPOLEON had been taken prisoner. The Dutch papers received are to the 24th, and con tain extracts from Paris Papers to the 19th. They do not bring down the events of the war so late as the above dates—their latest accounts being of the Bth instant, of which, date there is a French Bulletin.— They also contain an Austrian Bulletin, dated the 6th instant. The latter is dated from Wolchersclorf, a small town about nine miles from Vienna, on the road to Moravia, and contains some interesting. particulars. The Archduke CHARLES has caused a tete-delzont to be erected on the right bank of the Danube, opposite to Presburgh, which has been three different times at tacked by Marshal DAVOUST, without success, though it was defended only by the troops of the Lan dwehr, or nationalmilitia. The sarnedescription"of force is stated to have particularly .distinguished itself in battle of Aspens, mid it is very gratifying to read the account of -the patriotism and zeal manifested by all classes of the people in Hungary, as well as of the spirit displayed by the regular army. The Archduke Jot*/ has made good his retreat fromltaly, and re-established his communications with the grand army at Presburgh. The amount of his force is not mentioned ; but he was to be reinforced in a few days with 40,000 men from Hungary. There is also an Austrian force at Krems, acting upon the enemy's left flank. It appears from the 17th French Bulletin, dated on the Bth from Vienna, that the French head-quarters had been removed from Ebersdorf to the capital ; and a Paris article of the 17th states, that BONA. PART after after reviewing the troops of the Imperial Guard under the walls of Vienna, had repaired to Schoenbrun, from which it seems fair to infer that the head-quarters of his army have been transferred to that residence—the army,however,continues to fortify its position at Ebersdorf. The mention which theßulle tin makes of the march of the Russian troops, almost leads one to suppose that the French are waiting for their arrival in the rear of the Austrians, before they attempt to repass the Danube. The Archduke FER. DINAND is said to have lost one-third of his army be fore his arrival in Austrian Silesia. We remember, too, that a preceding Bulletin stated the Archduke Jomes forces, which are now threatening the right flank of the enemy, to have been entirely dispersed be fore their arrival in Hungary. But the matter of chief moment is the active state of the Tyrolese in. surrection, as it is called. This brave people have not only liberated their country from its oppressors, but even threatened Munich, the capital of Ba varia, from which they were only 12 miles distant. —lt is obvious that they must greatly harass the rear of the enemy, cut off his supplies, and, by pre venting him from assembling the whole of his force on the Danube, operate a favourable diversion for the Archduke CHARLES ; and accordingly it is reported that the troops under General WREDE, which were stationed near Lintz, where, indeed, it appears that their presence was most necessary, were to return into Bavaria, and to proceed toward Inspruck. Two Austrian Civil officers are stated, in letters from Vienna, to have proceeded from BONAPARTE to .the Emperor FRANCIS. This circumstance has, of course, given rise to rumours of a tendered pacifica tion ; and the same notion is attempted to be con firmed by the observation that Baron VINCENT had been at Vienna for two days. Hamburgh Papers to the 17th arrived last sight, the contents of which serve to confirm the accounts received through Holland of the increasing resistance of the Tyrolese. Another Gottenburgh Mail also arrived last night, but the intelligence brought by it is not so late as for mer accounts. Since writing the above, weave seen letters of the '2 3 d inst. from Rotterdam, which are contradictory in their statements. One of them says a battle took place on the 14th, and that the Austrians were vic torious : on the other hand, another letter of the same date contains thefollowing paragraph : " On the 17th no accounts from the Grand Armies had reached Frankfort, or at least nothing had been made public. The report of a second battle is by no means confirmed. Report says that 40,000 Austri ans have crossed the Danube at Lintz. a The Prince Primate, the King, Queen, and Royal family of Saxony, arrived at Frankfort early in the morning of the 16th, and in the afternoon the Grand Duke of Wurtzburgh, with the Foreign Mi nisters residing at his Court, arrived there." The Paris papers contain intelligence from Bay onne of the 10th inst. The Duke of DALMATIA (SoULT) is said to have taken up a position at Ama ranthe, and the Duke of BRLLUNO (VICTOR) is on his way to reinforce him. No allusion is made to SOULT'S retreat from Oporto. Great numbers of Spanish prisoners are dailyarriving at Bayonne : they chiefly consist of Priests. Yesterday morning, as Mr. WHITBREAD was driving to town front Tanner's End, in a single horse chaise„ accompanied by his son, the horse fell and broke the shafts, which occasioned the animal to plunge and kick, by which means the chaise was overturned, and Mr. WHITBREAD had his leg fractured ; his son escaped unhurt.—They were immediately conveyed home in a coach. The operatical performances at the Lyceum Thea. tre, last night, commenced with considerable eclat, I , with a new comic Drama of three acts, written, it is said, by Mr. ARNOLD,the Conductor of the Concern, intitled " Up all Night; or, the Smugglers' Cave."— The Ballet of Lowe in a Tub" followed, enriched with several new dances, in which Miss Lttinso, and a M. BOURDIN from Paris, displayed great agility.— The whole performance was much applauded by an elegant company. The LORD CHAMBERLAIN has refused to grant a licence for the performance of Mr. THEODORE Homes new Farce of " Killing n• Murder," and in conse quenCe of such refusal, the piece is withdrawn. Sunday morning last, as the Liverpool coach was turning from Hornsey-lane on to the steep part o f Highgate-hill, owing to the extreme difficulty in the road, it was overturned ; several of the passengers were so much injured as to be unable to proceed on their journey. By a clause in the Insolvent Bill now passed, as there has been in several preceding Acts of Insolvency, it is extended to any person who may, at any time previous to the passing of the same, be in prison on an execution from the Court of Requests, whatever may be the amount of his debts. Heracer.ama, 3t.7 a 16.—The removal of Napo leon's head-quarters from Ebersdorf to Schoenbrunn, causes a variety of opinions Which are not in favour of the French arms. The brave patriots of the Tyrol and Voralberg are also said to have advanced to the neighbourhood of Munich, Augsburg, and Memmin gen. It was expected that the Archduke Charles would, before the 10th instant, renew offensive ope rations. _ _ ..... This day the whole corps of Gens d'Armes will set out from Hamburgh for the Grand Army, leav ing only twelve men behind them. The major part of the army under Valmy or Kellerman, is said to have taken the same route. Schoenbrunn is four leagues from Vienna ; and in this latter city the dis tressed,and loyal inhabitants are all said to be in a ferment, occasioned by the arrogant treatment th e y experience from their invaders, and by a want of pro visions bordering almost on a famine, General Reuben, son to the French Ex-director, and General-in-Chief of Jerome Napoleon's army, is arrived at HamlniTh. Some say he wants to nego date a loon for his master; others again maintain hat he is to be tempor4ry Governor of the Hanse Towns. All the Prussian regiments are now in movement, and it is rumoured that the Prussian army of obser vation is, under certain circumstances, to occupy Ha nover. Since the occupation of Viemra, we are without intelligence of my kind from Turtey. The Prague, Berta, Ofre, and . other Gazettet, are stopped at the Post Office, at Hamburgh, by order of the French authority. The French Minister at Berlin has insisted upon the Pnueia.J.Garaure being restricted from inserting any statements unfavourable to the Emperor Napo leon. It is rumoured that a conspiracy has been dis covered in Hungary, and that Prince Esterhazy aspired to the Crown of that Kingdom, assisted by a French faction. GOTTINBURGH MAIL. STOCKHOLM, JUNE IQ . " Head-quarters, Hemosand, May 26. According to a report received from Major-Ge neral Dobeln, bearing date Umeo, the 24th of May, it appears that no change has taken place in the state of affairs in West Bothnia ; yet this tranquillity, con sidering the vast superiority of thtenemy's force, does not prognosticate any thing favourable : the enemy is certainly only waiting for the arrival of his flotilla of galleys, in order to be supported in his operations by a naval force. (Signed) WREDE, General in Chief of the Northern Army." luNz 16.—Ey a letter, dated on board the Victory, off Carlscrona, June 9, the English Admiral has ac quainted Vice-Admiral Puke, that although he finds himself compelled by existing circumstances to with draw from Malmoe the gun-boats stationed off that harbour, yet he trusts that the two sail of the line which were constantly cruizing in that latitude will be sufficient to protect the fleets of merchantmen sail ing to and from Carlscrona : the Admiral also adds the assurance, that the Swedish trade shall meet with the same protection as the English ; and that two sail of the line are stationed off Helsingburg, and a third off Staffids Head, for the protection of the Swedish COASt. It is new mrderssood that the late King will be per. mitted to leave Gripsholm, and retire to a seat on the island of Wisergo, which island is on the lake Wi liam, not far from Jonkoping. He is to remain there, without any restraint, and at the end of the war he will be permitted to retire to any part of Europe he may wish to reside itir. It is ipsagined here that Eng land will be his choice. The Russians have made no advance, although a large force ha# lately marched to oppose them. THE EVENING STAR.. THE ARMY. The Duke of YORK lett town yesterday for Chat ham, to review the troops previous; to their embarking for foreign service. The order fgr the Inverness regiment of militia to hold itself in readiness to embark for England, has been countermanded. Last week, Major-General the Earl of DALIIOUSIE inspected•the Sussex Local Militia, at Lewes. The Ist Somerset Militia, commanded by Sir CHARLES BANIFYLDE, are on their march to Hull. The 94th, or Scotch Brigade, being now com pleted at Aberdeen, expect soon to be sent on service. The Ross-shire Militia are on their march to Gos port. Last week the Hactdington Local Militia, were re viewed at Edi n b urg h, tly Lord CATHCART, the Com mander in Chief in Scotland.

Tuesday se'nnight, the Ist regiment of Lanark shire Local Militia, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel CHARLES WALKER, finished their twenty-eight days training duty for the season, with much honour to themselves and satisfaction to the inhabitants• of Glasgow. Saturday se'nnight, the 3d regiment of Ayrshire Local Militia, commanded by Colonel Joust HAMM -roN, was inspected at Kilmarnock by Colonel M , Doucau. ; and on Monday, l:aving completed their term of permanent duty, after chewing a marked respect to the Colonel and their other Officers, by drawing them through the town in carriages, they marched off to their respective homes. Thursday the Cambridge battalion of Local Militia completed their exercise for the present year. They were reviewed on Monday se'nnight by their Colonel, and went through their manoeuvres with steadiness and judgment highly to their credit. The Bournbridge battalion completed their exercise at Newmarket on the same day, and their conduct has been such as to gain them equal credit with the division which was on duty in Cambridge. The Wisbech battalion also completed their 28 days exercise on Thursday. They are a fine body of spirited young men, and have made a greater progress in military knowledge than could have been expected in so short a period. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH-DOCK, JUNE 25. Rear-Admiral SOTHIBY, in the Dreadnought, suc ceeded Admiral STOPFORD in the command at and off Basque Roads.—Last night Vice Admiral Sir J. T.

The Brothers, of Kirkwall, was lost on the 3d Instaut, going into Hoymouth, and all hands perished ; she had a cargo of slates from Easdale. There was also a vessel wrecked on the island of Flotta, laden with foreign salt, from Portugal. 'the dreadful effect of passion was a few days since exemplified on a lad named Desmond, by Richard:, a blacksmith, in Wood's-Mews, Park-lane, Piccadilly, The cause of this rash act was, on account of the lad not having more than 7s. per week from Richards, when one of his shopmates remarked, he would give him more, which, it appears, so much exasperated Richards, further provoked as he was by some expres sions uttered by the boy, that he struck him with the handle of a hammer in the breast ; and afterwards seized the commander (a rivetting tool), and threw it at the lad, which lodged deep in his forehead. After lingering in much agony for 17 days, in the Middle sex Hospital, he died on Friday morning. On Satur day an Inquest was held on the body, at the Hospital, but the Foreman of the Jury not being satisfied with the evidence, an adjournment took place. Yesterday afternoon the inquest was resumed.--Verdict, Man i ;laughter. 4;41P NTELLiCEVC.L. : COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 24. LADY WILSON as. LUNY). This Was an action of trespass brought by the Plaintiff, whi Lady of the Manor of 1-Limpstead, against the Gt.fend.o.t, i - breaking and enterirg a close, in the parish of Hstnifsteat; a carrying away a quantity of turf. W. Nicholls, bailiff to Lady Wilson, was eiarnined.—l le stated, that at the desire alter Ladyship he had refused wrinission to •. persons to cut turf ; application had been made to hint in of the defendant by a person named Cuff; the witness hzd tol l Goff he could not give him leave to cut, the defendant not bei , ,g a copyhilder, and her Ladyship only a tenant fur life. Mr. GARROW was about to address the Jury In behalf of tin Defendant, when *Lord ELLEN/WRONG!! suggested, that perhaps it Might Ise al well if the parties were to consider the nature of the action before it proceeded any further. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, after consulting with his dient,con• tented that the Jury should be discharged wLhout giving a terdiv. JUNE 26 -STANBOROUGH V. PARNELL. This cause consumed a considerable portion of the day—anti the only question it contained was, whether the Plaintiff had paid a sum of 2001. which formed an item in an account between the parties. The Defendant eras a brewer at Isleworth, who was in the habit of continually placing cash with his neighbour, the Plain tiff, and drawing upon him as his banker. In the couri , , 4 these dealings, the servant of the Defendant discovered, at Christmas, 1807, that there was 2001. mistake in his accounts ; and in going over the accounts again, he thought he discovered 2001. which had been entered as received from the Plaintiff, but which in his opinion he had never received. On the other side, the two Sons of the I'laintiff most distinctly proved the payment of the money on the day stated in the account, and which cne of them ixed accurately from the circumstance of its being the day on which the Volunteer corps to which he belonged received their colours. —The" Jury found a Verdict for the Plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 26. POLLEY W. CARR.. The plaintiff, an upholsterer in New Bcin&street, brought his ac ion against the defendant, a Lady, to recover £26, for furnitttre. The defence was a plea of coverture. The articles had been sup plied to the defendant as Miss Carr, but on the present occasion it appeared, that she had been married to Mr. S. parr, at Mary - la-bonne Church, in 1793. The plaintiff was non-suited. SALE OP HORSES. Sir hairs MANSFIELD noticed a cause, tried a short time since in this Court, in which it appeared, by evidence, that a paper had been posted at Aldridge's Repository, stating, that the warranty of any horse sold by auction would not last longer than two days. He considyred a warranty of two days a delusion, as it was lin• possible to discover certain disorders in a horse in less time than a month. He mentioned the circumstance in order that the pub lic might avoid buying a horse under such warranty. GAMBLINO.—SHERSIAN V. TAYLOR. This was an action brought by Mrs. Sherman, as executrix of her husband, against the Defendant, Taylor, for a debt, originally of £5O, hut of which £2O was admitted to have been paid. Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the Plaintiff, produced evidence, which proved that the Defendant bad offered to pay £9. i Ss. to stop.the action. He also proved a demand having been made for the whole sum. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the Defendant, contended, in the first place, that this debt wa,s contracted on account of a gambling transaction ; and, 2dly, that it had been paid. lie called George Smith, who stated, that the deceased husband of the Plaintiff had been concerned in the " Little Go," or Lottery insurance busi ness—that he himself, one Kelly, and the deceased Sherman, had been partners in a gambling concern—that the debt in _queition had been contracted at a gambling house in Jermyn-street—that' I he himself had lent it to the Defendant, who had lost all his own money at play, and that when the accounts of the business were wound up Sherman had engaged to take this debt as part of his share. But as this was a loan from Sherman and Company, and not a sum actually gained at play, it did not seem to the judge to ' be illegal. Two witnesses, one of the name of Siller, and another of the name of Butcher, spoke to the payment of the money, the one swearing to the payment of 301. in Oxendon-street, the other to the payment of 201. in Snow-hill, but, according to the testimony. of Butcher, who swore to the payment last in point of timj, the defendant then admitted the remainder of the .501. to be still due. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD, on account of this contradiction in the evidence of the defendant's witnesses, thought that it could not be relied upon, but as the plaintiff had given an ackanwledgnsent In evidence, be thought she ought to be confined to the sum ad. mitred, and he accordingly directed a verdict to be given for 91. I Es. subject to the opinion of the Court, however, whether the action was well laid, without making Kelly and Smith, the other partners in the concern, plaintilfa., yetdict for thulaintiff 91. 18s. TRESPASS—PROPERTY TAXes4.7l9ob is.7II O IILIAMS. This was an action of trespass—the defends it having; as was contended, illegally seized the plaintiff's goods, and sold them by auction. The plaintiff was tenant to the defendant, at 20L a year. . The last quarter's rent was tendered, deducting the property tax for the whole year. The 4elendant refused this, and distrained to the amount of 16L Is. Mr. Serjeant BEST set uFtwo defences—first, That if the te• nant was to deduct the property tax, he ought by the Act to have done so at the several payments, and not to have deducted for the whole year at the payment for the last quarter.—idly, That the agreement of the defendant with his tenants was, that they should pay 201. each, and pay the property tax, over and above, which, he contended, was illegal. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD did not think the first defence could be sustained, and as to the second, there might be a doubt whether under the words of the Act, the landlord had a power to mak! an agreement with his tenants to pay him the whole of a rent without deducting the property tax. He therefore directed a ver dict to be given for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court upon the latter point. Verdict for the plaintiff 161. Is. INJURIOUS WORDS.--FERREIRA-V. f:OOTE. Mr. Serjeant RUNNINGTON stated this to be an action brought by a Portuguese merchant, who had long been settled in England, against the Defendant, a surgeon, for injurious words. The words alledged to have been spoken were—" That the Plaintiff would soon be in the Gazette." These words, the Learned Serjeant contended, might have done considerable injury to the Plaintiff's credit. As he was proceeding to state the case more particularly, notice was given him that the parties had settled the business. A I Juror was accordingly immediately withdrawn. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JUNE 26. The Indictment against Mr. Bond for writing a threatening letter to Mr. Phillips, for the purpose of extorting money from him, stood for trial at the present Middlesex Sessions. It has, however, been removed into the Court of King's Bench by Cer• tiorari. • The prosecution against the Duke of Gordon, for an Assault, with intent to commit a rape, has also been removed by Certiorari into the Court of King's Bench. ASSAULT.—TI(E KING V. CHARLES CHLSHOLME, ESS The defendant is a man of very considerable fortune ; the pro secutor is a tradesman living in Blenheim-street, Newßond-street. Some time ago, the defendant took the opportunity, whilst the family of the prosecutor were at their dinner, on a Sunday after noon, to conduct himself in a very unbecoming way before theit: windows, insomuch that the females of the house were at length obliged to leave the windows, and retire altogether from the view of the people in the street—Mr. Blacklin, die prosecutor, remon strated with the defendant, but to no purpose; instead of desist. ini, he leaped over the palisadoes, and endeavoured to make his way into the house to attack Mr. Blacklin, and actually got half way in at the Parlour window for that purpose : he failed, how. ever, and was given in charge of a constable. These facts were proved by several witnesses, The Counsel for the defendant at. tempted, by witnesses, to contradict this, but failed, and the defendant was found Guilty. Mr. Justice MAI NWA RIN G, after consulting with his brother Justices, then addressed the Court, and said he felt the highest satisfaction that the prosecutor had adopted the present tnethed of punishing the prisoner, and not by an action for damages screened him from the obloquy his misconduct deserved. With all the semblance of a Gentleman, he had acted in an extremely riotous and disorderly manner, and eminently deserved dm. punishment the Court thought proper to award. The Court taking the whole case into consideration, and ob. serving how inadequate a pecuniary fine would be to a man of bis wealth, sentenced him to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. The prisoner was a dashing young fellow, about 25 years of age, fashionably dressed, and bad an easy confidence of manners, but on hvaring the sentence, seemed much affected. 11 . 1 .
