The loss of the French in killed and wounded was hornet" Wittenburg *as been taken by storm ! , AUsTRIAS DACIARATIOV oF WAR beats have been entertained by Many, whether any Declaration hostile to BONAPA UTE had been issued by Austria. In fact, some mistaken views seem t(' have been taken up respecting the Declaration made by that Power on the 11th of August. An officio; Proclamation was said to have been issued on that day ; but this would have been not only irregular but blameable ; for the six days notice of hostilities had not been then given. 'the fact appears to be this t—The Armistice having expired without the re ceipt of any answer from NAPOLZON, Austria gave, in a declaration to the French, that if the terms pro posed for the restoration of Peace were not acceded to by the 17th, there would be no prolongation of the Armistice, and that she would take part with the , Allies. What we mean is simply this : the Declaration de livered by Count Mwrrisasucts on the 11th was pro• bably conditional—depending entirely on the admis sion or rejection on the part of NAPOLEON, of the reasonable terms which Austria, as a mediator, had proposed to the contending Powers for the mtcration of Peace to Europe. The obstinacy of NAPOLEON has produced the re sult to which Austria stood pledged, but which, It is probable, BONAPARTE did not expect. He has again been out in his calculation. The die is nem cast by Austria—and the subjoined Proclamation of Prince ScHwARTEENEURGH to the Army which he commands, may at once be regarded as the fulfil. merit of her engagements with the other Powers, and a regular Declaration of Wit. against France. It is long since se have perused a State Paper, which afforded us more delight, or which ought to occasion more exultation to every friend of mankind. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has taken the field, not as a pettifogging stickler for the conditions of this or that Treaty, or for the preservation of this or that appendage to his Crown. It is not for the mad projects of dismembering France, or restoring the Bourbons, which have called Austria into the field— No I—the Emperor—everlasting glory and honour to his name !—has taken the field so conquer a peace for suffering Europe, 'and to drive the French troops, with the wretch who commands them, back into their own territories. Austria, by this declaration, makes common cause' with the Allies with a vengeance. She declares it to be a national war on her part, and solensnly appeals to the examples of Russia and of Spain for incite. meats to her sons to conquer or die in defence of their beloved country. The Tyrant may hear this amid the redoubts of Dresden and tremble—the ferientation is now at work which he most of all dreads—the population of Europe is armed against him—they who have been scourged by his despotism are about to cut asunder the Gordian knot which (hackled them beneath the rod, and 'Europe is about to be regenerated. Well may Austria beckoa to her aid the bright examples of Russia and Spain. When the national spirit of a country is once roused, where is the tyrant, and where is the army that can stifle its voice DECLARATION. PRINCE VON SCRWARTZENBURGH P S ORDER TO HIS Ann, GIVEN ON THE 17TH OF AUGUST. " The great day is arrived I—Brave Warriors ! Our country relies on you—Hitherto every time that she called upon yon, you have justified be, confidence. 4 4 All the endeavours' of our Emperor to restore the long-wanted peace to Europe, and to fix the peace and welfare of the Empire, which is inseparable from the peace and welfare of our neighbours, on a solid basis, were in vain. Neither constant patience, nor pacific representations, nor the confidential reliance of the other belligerent powers on the Emperor's councils and measures, in short, nothing could bring the minds of the. French Government to moderation and reason: 46 On that day on which Austria loudly declared herself for the cause of Justice and Order, she like wise took on herself to combat for the greatest of all blessings. We do not singly. undertake this combat, we stand in the same ranks with all that Europe has to oppose of greatness and activity, against the power ful opponent of her peace and liberty. 6 6 Austria, Russia, Prussia, Sweden, England, Spain—all join their united endeavours for the same end ;—for a well founded and durable Peace, a rea sonable distribution of strength among the different States, and the Independence of every single Power. 46 It is not against France, but against the domi neering power of France out of her own borders, that this great alliance has raised itself. 44 What may be performed by the resolution and constancy of Nations has been proved to us by Spain and Russia : what may be performed by the united force of so many powerful States, will be shewn in :Ape year ISI3. 46 In such a holy war we must, more than ever, preserve those virtues, by which our armies haveren dered themselves conspicuous in so many former wars. Unconditional willingness to sacrifice every thing for our Monarch and native country—great equanimity in good or unfavourable times—determi nation and constancy in the field of battle—modera tion and forbearance towards the weak ;. these qua- I tides must always be found in us. Brirthers is Arils—/ have lived in your ranks] all these years which 1 have delves/ to my councils% - r.rvice. I know, I honour ih you, the brave men who conquered a glorious peace, and those who are 'ollowing their footsteps. I rely on you I lam chosen from amongst you by our Monarch, and his gracious favour has placed-me at your bead." His confidence, jointly with your's, is my strength., " In what manner every individual is to be useful to the whole, will be fixed by tl-e sphere of action . 411oued to him ; but in every appointment, in every situation, in every decisive moment, always to do his duty, and to the UtIODSt of his power. " Such is the determination which must make us all equal, and elevate us all to the same glorious point. The Emperor will remain with us, for he has confided the utmost to us—the honour of the na tion—the protection of our native country, and the security and welfare of posterity. 44 Be thankful, Warriors, that yon are going into battle before Gon, who will not forsake the just cause ; under the eye of a paternal and feeling Monarch— under the eyes of your grateful fellow-citizens ; and in the sight of all Lurope, which expects from you great deeds, and great happiness, after long ssfferings. " Remember, you mart conquer !—That you may justify this expectation, combat as it becomes Au stria's warriors to do, and you will conquer. (Signed) 41 CHARLES, PAIN= OF SCIAVARTZENIZRO s EM." SECOND EDITION. Government have received a confirmation of the glorious intelligence received by the Heligoland mails. The following is the sub.tance of their contents ; LI 44 Several engagements have taken place betty,. 41 the Elbe and the sea-coast. DAvousT is said to be wounded, and VANDAMMZ nalrtally.

ORDERS. " Groswitsch, Head-Quarters, Aug. 17,1813. 41 The sanguinary struggle for our independence is resumed—all the efforts of our illustrious Ally, his Majesty the Emperor of AUSTRIA, and our own, to obtain a durable Peace, without any further blood shed, have proved fruitless. The design was, that we should have groaned under the ignominious yoke ? for a long time to come, 4 , To arms, therefore, ye valixnt Russians, Prus. sians, and Germans ! Our power is formidable, as it possesses both internal energy and a large numeri cal force. His Imperial Highness the Archduke CHARLES is Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Au. 'trim Army, who have made common cause with ours. Courage in battle, united with perseverance, must infallibly prevail. " In the name of his Majesty the King of Prussia, as General-in-Chief of the Allied Army, the Russian Major-General, and Chief of the Etat-Major, (Signed) 14 MOREAU.

Extract of a Letter from an Officer on the Staff of the Aimy in Spain, dated 25th August:--"" We have moved from Lezaca, and are novPencanaped on the top of a hill, abeut an equal distance from Pas sages mad Fuenterabia ; tl:e former is likely to be come of great consequence, as all the reinforcements for...the army disembark there, on account of its be ing so contiguous to our present position, and which we are likely to retain.

Last night a young Lady made her delve in the character of efriel, in the Tempel:. This is said to be her first appearance on the stage. We presume it is meant her first appearance on these boards, for we can hardly persnade ourselves that she has never trod the stige before t she seemed to fed herself so much at home, ,that we should be surprised to find this is really the first time she has 4 , smelt the lAmp." Be this as it may, her figure seemed generally to please the midi.. ence, and she certainly looked the character well. Her performance gave almost universal satisfaction. The songs she gave with an air of ease and sinspli city, which called forth Lind and deserved applause. Where' the bee sucks," was honoured by a unani mous encore. Mr. Yourio's Pre:lwo has so recently passed in re. view before us, that it is unnecessary for us now to discuss its merits. He met with the heat ty weleorne due to his talents when he first came on the stage, and applause accompanied his exertions throughout the play. ABBOTT was a good substitute for M. C.
