One of them dated the 29th, con tains the following intelligence s 11 The enemy's army endeavoured in all haste to gain the frontiers of Bohemia. Having lost ks two lines of operations, it was obliged to pass by cross roads, in which it suffered many losses. Its retreat is not a Right, but a positive rout. General Vandammes who is marching on Peterswalde, has this morning defeated the Russian troops, commanded • by the Prince of Wirtemberg, and taken six pieces of cannon. " General Chastel has debouched from Freyberg on the enemy's rear. He took in the morning 300 car riages of artillery, among which ate several pieces of Lannon. All the villages are filled with wounded, stragglers, and broken columns. The Ex-General Moreau and the Emperor Alexander were present at these last affairs. It is said that it was by their ad vice that the enemy's army engaged in operations which have been so prejudicial to it. " The accounts of the 31st August state, that the convoys of prisoners made by the combined armies follow nne another without interruption, and that the number probably exceeds .50,000. The number of pieces of cannon which have been taken is not cer tainly known ; the town vas besides so much encum• bered with baggage of every kind, which fell into the hands of the conquerors, that the estimate could not be taken. Efficacious measures - have been taken to insure the subsistence and conveyance of the prisoners into France. " The Emperor continues to enjoy the most per fect health. 44 It is expected that a Bulletin will soon satisfy the general anxiety by making known the particulars of the glorious exploits which have animated all French hearts with inexpressible joy. gi The Army of Italy, commanded by his Impe rial Highness the Prince Viceroy, is in full motion. The head-quarters were already on the 25th of Au gust at Tarvis, in Carinthia. The first operations of ' this army have been signalized by success, which let. ters from Udine state in the following terms :—Thel amounts which we have received from Tarvis con tinue to be satisfactory. Our troops to-day termi nated their movements upon Gail. We every mo ment expect intelligence of some important achieve ment on the Drave. " The Lieutenant-General Pinet has inclined from Adclsberg upon the Save. " There is at this moment arrived a first convoy of prisoners taken from the enemy." BANKS OF THE ÜBE, AUGUST 24. The military preparations are making with the greatest activity throughout Denmark. A new and extraordinary levy of recruits has been ordered to be raised there. The corps d'armee, already very nu mucus, which is assembling in Zealand, is continually receiving reinforcements. It is generally asserted, that the Court of Denmark will formally declare War with Sweden, as soon as the harvest will be finished in Norway, and tha t they will be able to form the magazines destined for the support of the troops in that kingdom, when an invasion will be made into Sweden, from Norway. The corps d'armee of Zealand may afterwards assist this expedition by a landing in Schonen, which is unfurnished of troops, the Government of that country having undertaken the impolitic expedition into Germany, against which clamours are raised in Sweden itself, and which the instigators of this war endeavoured in vain to stifle. This year's harvest has been very abundant, both in Denmark and in Norway. The Danish Auxiliary corps is actually upwards .115,000 strong. We learn that it will still be rein forced by several regiments. It has entered the Duchy ti Mechlenberg, with the army of the Prince of Eck mull'. The Court of Copenhagen has issued orders for putting the two fortresses of Gluckstadt and Rendsburg into a good state of defence. English lip of truce and Russian couriers are frequently seen to arrive at Copenhagen. The Monismr of the 6th, contains a very long ex tract of a dispatch from the Duke of Albufera to the Mini;ter at War, dated at Vendrell, August 19. It ; d : e t t o 1 40 rnens. dated At Thi tiken fr since r ar mies ( and in I upward eye Wit Hi o'clock - - , relates entirely to the matches and dispositions made by the troops under his command, for the purpose of raising the siege of Tarragona. There is nothing very material in these details; the principal skirmishes mentioned took place before Nullis, between nine • hundred horse under the brother of Lord. Bentinck, and the vanguard'of the French. General Miselop is stated to have routed the English, and wounded or took two officers, and from thirty to forty men. The enemy's loss was only two serjeants wounded and taken. This report ends with the following particu lars of the destruction of,Tarragona : gi At break of day the firing of S guns announced that fire was about to be successively set to all the mines—Tarragona, bombarded and burnt by the French in 1811, by the English in 181 S, and utterly dismantled on the 18th August, exhibits now nothing but a heap of ruins. Thus the Imperial army, after having possessed Tarragona for 25 months and a half, has by a fresh effort, saved a feeble garrison of two thousand Frenchmen, attacked by a numerous army by sea and land."

The following is one of the communications from Heligoland, but it alludes to no such event : " HELIGOLAND, SEPT. S. " It was positively asserted, both in Hamburgh and Altona, on the 2d instant, that Eckmuhl hid again been defeated in the neighbourhood of Witten berg, and that he was retreating upon Lubec. " On Wednesday last there were 2000 cavalry, but without horses, in Hamburgh, and the firing of guns was distinctly heard is the direction of Zollenspuckei, in the beginning of the week." . .

DEAL, SEPTEMBER io. Admiral YOUNG, Commander in Chief of the Flush ing squadron, arrived, very unexpectedly, in the Downs, this. morning, in the IMPREGNABLE, of 98 guns, having the following ships under his command, „ viz. the tAIATHAM, the I;UMIIIIRLAND, the COLOSSUS, and YORK, English line-of-battle ships; Trocherar zoff, Netron, Sciatastoff, and Chesman, Russian ships of the line, and &tubas Russian frigate, which re main in the Downs with the NORGI, Dic . r A I on, BED roan, and Pike:inn-Le, of 74 guns ; Annanto tot fri gate, ALERT, THUNDER, COUNTESS OF ELGIN, NYM:Hp RINALDO, OLYMPIA, ACT IYr, and DEFENDER, sloops, brigs, cutters and luggers. That the arrival of this squadron was quite unexpected cinnot be more clearly demonstrated, than th t ftrty live bull cks were yesterday sent from the Contractor's Office here, on board the Nonce, to be conveyed to this very fleet off Flushing, and she was to have sailed this morning for that purpose, but the arrival of Admiral YOUNG'S squ;tdron in the Downs. having been announced by signal, the Noitcz remains at anchor. Conjecture, always busy in the absence of - real facts, has destined this squadron with six or severs more ships of the line, and the necessary number of bomb-vessels, gun-boats, rocket-►hips, &c. to make another attack on Copenhagen. What ground there may be for this supposition, those deep in the secret can best tell. No thunder of cannon from the French coast has yet announced a victory gained by NAPO LEON, nor has there been aay arrival of intelligence since my last. HARWICH, SEPTEMBER 10.

The Staff Officers ordered to the Peninsula, have been informed, that their horses and baggage must be embarked at Portsmouth on Thursday next. A detachment of the 7th Dragoon Guards will come up to London by one of the first smacks from Leith. On the Sd instant a detachment of the 91st Regi- I ment embarked at Harwich for Leith ; and one of the 25th from Landguard Fort, for Berwick. The 2d regiment of Surrey Militia have marched from Woodbridge Barracks to Chelmsford. The West Middlesex Militia are waiting the collec tion of vessels at Liverpool, to convey them to Dublin. On the 6th instant, the Dumfries Militia arrived from Dublin, and were landed at Troon ; whence, or from Portpatrick,-the . North York Militia will be immediately passed over to Donaghadee. French Papers to the 6th inst. arrived in the course of yesterday, and we gave a short sketch of their con tents. To.day we present our Readers with the Ite ports from the army at Dresden, Official and demi official. It appears that the great struggles in that direction, took place on the 26th and 28th ult.—Of these we are now in possession of the full particulars.
