It has been reported, that a French Bulletin has arri ved, containing the particulars: but this is not cor rect; indeed there are no accounts in town later than the Moniteur of the 26th, and the latest letters from Faris are only to the same date. These letters assert that the action was in fact another battle of Boro , dino ; but all the statements of killed, wounded, and prisoners on both sides may be considered as mere speculation.—lf it has been nearly so sanguinary as has been stated, there will be few more great battles during the present campaign : both armies will be so much reduced as to render it impossible. In what a commanding attitude does Austria now stand ? How easily might she con.pel the man who spreads so much misery over Europe, to restore peace to the earth ? What has that power to do with the 'maritime provisions of the Treaty of Utrecht She has, by the French Revolution, been robbed of her ports in the Netherland s . C a n s h e ga i n any t hi ng 'joining in an attempt to abridge the maritime power of Great Britain ? On the other hand, there viere stipulations in that treaty, to which NAPOLEON would be sorry to recur. For what was the war undertaken, which that treaty terminated ?—To prevent the junction of France and Spain under one Monarchy ? For what purposes were the Al lies in that war united against Lewis the XlVth ?- I.'o baffle his scheme of univeral empire ! To secure " the safety and liberties of Europe !"—To prevent his swallowing up and incorporating with his own empire the dominions of the neighbouring States. What were the robberies and incorporations of LEWIS, compared with those of NAPOLEON ! Look at the Netherlands, Holland, the North of Germany, Swit. zerland, • Rome, Genoa, Naples. View the struggle in the Peninsula ! Contemplate the origin of the pre. sent conflict in the North of Europe I How many Treaties have been violated I How many promises and oaths broken ! Does NAPoixoN believe that all recollection ; all sense of wrongs- and injuries; all ideas of justice are banished from the minds of men ? A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning ; but it brings no intelligence of much interest. We already knew of the embarkation of the Swedish troops for Stralsund. The following are extracts : " GO f TENBURGH, MAX 42. " The Master of a vessel, who arrived here yester day, informs us, that he passed through the transports with the Swedish troops on board, which sailed from hence on Tuesday last, in the Sound, on Wednesday morning ; and that the Danes permitted them to pro ceed without interruption. Se His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland arrived at Ystadt on Monday last, and immediately embarked on board a British ship of war. His Ex cellency M.

" The report of 6000 Swedish troops (whose des tination is kept a profound secret) having been shipped at Gottenburgh, is to be numbered among the many rumours which are now more than ever in currency. " Two Russian couriers have arrived here in the course of the week, exclnsive of Commodore Jessen. 46 Several divisions of our seamen, returning from the French service, have arrived here with their ofs - and are so much,the more welcome, as it is re ported, that the whole of our naval force is to be put in motion as soon as possible." _ " BURG, MAY 12.

A party of Russian Cossacks yesterday crossed the Elbe to Schonbeck, and fetched a large quantity of salt from the magazine there over to this place." EXTRACTS FROM THE HAMBURG] PAPERS. HAMBURGH, MAY 21. This afternoon two battalions of excellent Swedish troops entered this town, the Danish troops who un dertook to assist us in defending it, having left us two days ago, and withdrawn to their own territory.— The enemy informed, without doubt, of this c?rcum stance, made an attempt on the town in the night between the 19th and 20th from the islands of Fid del and Wilhelmsburgh, which he had been in the possession of for some time, and on which he had thrown up fortifications and providel artillery. Hav ing perceived, however, that the attempt was attended with no success, and that he met with such a serious re. turn as greatly to injure his batteries, he thought pro per at-last to give up his fruitless undertaking. Now that we have to congratulate ourselves on the great abilities and unwearied zeal of our generally respected fellow Citizen, the Russian General Von Tettenborn, and also on the powerful assistance of the Swedish troops, we are unconcernedst the vain and fruitless at- I tempts of the enemy, confiding, as every good Citizen does, in the wise dispositions of his Excellency, and ani. mated, as we all are,with the most determined resolution. —His Excellency received the valiant Scandinavians before the stone gate, by whom he was greeted with three cheers ; after which they entered the town with martial music, by the stone gate, where a detachment of our Burgher-guards, with their band of music, was placed en hap, and who received them in return, with the most cordial huzzas. By means of carriages dis patched to them from our neighbourhood, and the Lauer.burg and Mecklenburg territories, they were enabled to proceed from Pomerania to Hamburgh in a very short period, and, without being fatigued, they immediately proceeded to occupy posts on the Grasbrock. We expect still more Swedish troops, who are at present on their march towards Ham burgh and the Elbe. time Aim " The Ce day with a I; The Dagei says " Lette, England hat the 'Crown o A Heligo regret to sa: rather unple longer free seems to ha , 3 Count 13titt London.

Eight thousand men had before reached Rugen, who, on account of the storm, were not landed.— To-day that the wind has fallen, they will be landed. The military air of the Swedish troops is admirable. LETTER FROWTHE ALLIED RUSSIAN ANDPRUSSIANARSIY DATED MAY 13. g , The enemy has been several days on this side of the Elbe, as it was not within the combinations of the Commanding Generals to defend the Elbe on several points, while the enemy, by means of their fortifica. tions on this river, might push on at other places.— Hithetto, however, the enemy, in every rearguard engagement, has been driven back with great loss, namely, on the Ilth, at Bischoffswerda, where he lost 1000 men, and yesterday at Gede, between Bischoffs. werda and Bautzen.

AND MRS. MONSON BONA R. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The murder which it was our painful task to relate for the information of the public yesterday, equals both in mystery and in horror any of the most atro cious which have of Tate years disgraced th e criminal annals of this country. It now appears that, on Sun day evening, Mr. THOMSON BONAR went to bed at his usual hour : Mrs. BONAR did not follow him till two o'clock, when she ordered her female servant to call her at seven o'clock in the morning. The SIT• vant, as she had been directed, at the appointed time went into the bed•room of her master and mistress, and found Mr. BONAR mangled and dead upon. he floor, and her lady wounded, dying and insensible in her bed. A bent poker which was lying on the ground, as well as the fractured condition of the heads of the unfortunate victims, plainly denoted with what instrument the act had been committed. As there were some remains of life in Mrs. BOXAR, servants were sent express to town for surgical assist. ance. Mr. Airrt.EY COOPin Arrived wi h all possible dispatch, but it was too late :-.-the wound am mor tal, and she expired at eleven minutes past one o'clock, hav;ng been, during the whole previnus time, insensible, and only once uttering the excl Ul)4- tion of " Oh ! dear !" We never witness. d such a scene of horror as the bed-room presented.— Almost the first object which met the eye on enter ing, was the dead body of !yin BONAR, with the held and hands steeped in blood ; the scull was literally broken into fragments, in two or three place; and there was a dreadful laceration across the nose, as if effected by the edge of a poker. His hands were mangled in several places, apparently by the same instrument : there was also a severe wound on the right knee. Vora the numerous wounds on the body of Mr. BONAR, from the swoln state of h:s mouth, and the convulsive adhesion of his hands and knees, it is clear that he had struggled with all his trete against his horrid murderer. The most shocking circum stances cottnected with this spectacle was the appear ance of the night-cap, which lay a few paces from the head, drenched in blood, with a lock of grey hair sticking to it, which seemed to have been struck from the skull by the violence of the blow of the poker.— The pillow of his bed lay at his feet completely dyed in blood. The manly athletic person of Mr. BONAR, for though advanced in life he seems to have been powerful man—gave an increase of homer to this afflicting sight. The view of Mrs. BONAR, though equally distressing, excited more pity than terrur ; though her head had been fractured in a dreadful manner, yet there was a calm softness in her coun tenance, more resembling a healthy sleep than a violent death : it might have been supposed that her life had parted from her without one painful effort.— The linen and pillow of the bed in which she lay were covered with blood, as was also the bed of Mr. Bow AR. They slept in small separate beds, but placed so close together that there was scarce room for a person to pass between them. The interval of floor between the beds was almost a stream of blood. No slight additional horror arose from the contrast of tie spa cious, handsome apartment, in which this scene of death was exhibited. The most heart-moving spectacle yet remained.— About seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. BONAR, jun. arrived from Faversham, where he was on duty as Colonel of the Kent Local Militia. In spite of the efforts of Mr. AKOERSTEIN, jun. and some other Gen tlemen, be rushed up stairs,„exclaiming, " Let me see my father—indeed I must see him." It was im. possible to detain him : he burst into the bed-chamber, and immediately locked the door after him. Appre hensions were entertained for his safety, and the door was broken open, when he was seen kneeling with clasped hands over the body of his lather. His friends tore him away, and hurried him, tottering and faint ing, into an adjoining chamber. Such are the circumstances connected with the fact of this horrid catastrophe : as to its author or authors, nothing has transpired but suspicion and surmise. There has been no attempt at robbery, and no other motive can be imagined for the assassination of two persons who were not only inoffensive, but univer. sally beloved for their kindness and benevolence. It is a curious circumstance, that the poker with which the crime seems evidently to have been perpetrated, does not belong to any part of the house, and must have been brought there by the assassin. No part of the house is broken in, though it is reported that the house-door was found open in the morning, Mrs. BONAR, as we have already stated, did not retire to 1:•::c1 till two o'clock ; and at four o'clock a woman, who goes there to wash, ret herself in ; but whether the crime was committed in this interval, or after wards, there seems at present no clue to develop,. None of the servants appear to have been alarmed by any cries in the night, but their division of the house is at some distance from the wing in which Mr. :ind Mrs. BONAR slept. Though the room is coyeted with blood, it appears rather strange, that there is no trace of a bloody footstep in the anti-room er hall, (the stairs are 'spread with red carpeting,) and only one or two drops of blood in the hall. About seven o'clock in the morning, when the alarm was raised among the servants, the footman, Philip Nicholson, rode express to Loadon on one of , the best horses in the stable : he went first to Mr. ASTLEY COOPER, then to the Red Lion, near Bed lam, where he saw Dale, a man who has lately been discharged from the service of Mr. BONAR, and to whom he used, (as is reported,) these remarkable ex pressions : " The deed is done, and you are suspected; but you are not in it." He then proceeded to the office at Bow -street, to give information of the mur der ; and stated that he had seen Dale at the Red Lion, together with what had passed, which induced the officers afterwards to go to Dale. Nicholson ap peared intoxicated at the office: indeed he had been seen to take three glasses of rum at the half-way house. The of f icers then directed him to follow them, but lost sight of him in Brydges-street ; and he has not been seen since that time—at least he had not re turned to Chislehurst at eight o'clock in the evening of yesterday. 4 warrant was issued to apprehend him, his room and box were searched, and from s'bme papers there found,.it was s' en that he had been discharged troM the dragoons as an invalid last January, and had since that period lived with Mr. TYRRELL, the Re membrance'. ;—he had been only three weeks in the family of Mr. BONAR. Dale, to whom the officers went, in consecreace of Oat fell from Nicholson, lutd been a butler family of Mr. BONA'', and was discharged fortnight ago on suspicion of ill condua: Ms it is said, . wished to have him prosecuted, BO F AR was conjent to send him away.
