No official details have yet arrived from the Con tinent, nor have any Dutch or French papers of later dates than thole which arrived two days ago come to hand. We are therefore Rill without the mean; of nice/tatting the degree of credit due to the /rations reports that have been circulated refpeaing the armies. Many frefh rumours were again circulated yefter day aft.. loon and this morning. One letter from Holland, dated on Sunday lall, Rates loofely, that there was a feries of anions between the Anltrians and French until the zxd, on which day General Mace croffed the Danube, and retreated into Fran conia; that both armies Curtained great inf. in there different anions, but the French, from their fuperio rity in numbers, were ultimately foccefiful ; and that an anion had taken place between the Ruffians and General BIRIOADOTTeII divirion, in which the latter was completely defeated. Another letter mentions the reported anion be tween the Ruffians and French, with the additional circumßance that Bon araars and MURAT were pre fent—a circomflance that goes to diferedit the whole account. Indeed it is hardly poffible, that accounts of fo recent a date as tome of the letters Rate, could be received from the fcene of aftion. The general opinion is, that the principal action ' between the French and General MACK'S army took place on the loth, as we have before had occafion to flate ; and we are very apprehenfive that, though it may turn out that the fuecefs of the enemy has been exaggerated, yet it will be found that the Auflrians have experienced a dreadful difafter. It would, how ever, be ridiculous to indulge in conjeaures on a rub jeff of fuch magnitude. A few hours will probably bring us official accounts from one or ether of the armies, which will put an end to the prefent Rate of uncertainty. Yefterday morning early, Mr. Ds tunics, the Meffenger, was fent off expres with difpatches to his MAP STY at Windfor.

One Gentleman, whore name we have not learnt, met the lath Regiment feven miles from that place, for the esorefs porpofe of conduaing them by the fisortell route to the town.

Yelierday morning, abnut fevers o'clock, a fire broke out at the Bath, in Lamb's-Conduit-Area, which had an alarming appearance ; by the timely arrival, however. of the parill engines. and exertion of the neighbours, the flames were eictiuguillsed, having damaged only a pats of the pre:wires. Yenerclay evening an alatwing - fire broke out In the fiat floor of a pOry.cook's, m St. Martin's-lane, which threatened the deatultion of the whole houfe ; but, by the timely *(Stance of the firemen, it was extinguithed without any farther damage than the total demolition of the interior of the room.
