His Royal Majesty has received the following re ports from Field Marshal Count Klingspor, dated head-quarters, New Carleby, the 30th June, Ist and 4th July : " My last Report, whereby I respectfully acquain ted your Majesty with the recapture of New Carleby, was of the 26th June, and was dispatched fiom Ja cebstadt by Baron Otter, who has probably already delivered it to )our Majesty. Since that time a Rus sian army, composed of the best troops, ativahced against Sarvolax and our position in Torois and Siro nijocki, from whence your Majesty's troops were com pelled by the enemy's vast superiority in numbers to fall back to Henriosnaes and Knopio, where, from the nature of the ground, they hoped they should be able to check the farther progress of the enemy, but the latter having crmtnenced - to turn the position of Henoigsndes, your Majesty's troops, commanded by Colonel Sandal, were obliged to make a further.re trograde movement to Torivola, where I hope he will be able to maintain himself, having formed a junc tion with the corps commanded by Colonel Foland: , s. who arrived from Kiveialom, where he was posted to cover the right flank of the brigade. " I receive this moment from Major Ulfjhuma, a report of the unsuccessful expedition from Wasa, under the orders of Adjutant General Baron Bergen strale. The amount of our loss cannot as yet be as certained, but it is not inconsiderable. " The present position of your Majesty's army is as follows : The second brigade occupies the envi rons of New Carleby, one battalion being posted in Arrawair, which, in conjunction with two gun boats, form the advanced post of the army. .1 he second brigade is in Upper Jeppo, with two battalions in Upper Harma, on the road to Lappoder, where the enemy's main force is assembled, estimated at 6000 men. The fourth brigade is in Crrleby, the first is on its march to this place, and the fifth in Torivola near Knopio. The troops arrived from Wasa under the orders of Major Unjelmorrupy, occupy the en.] virons of that. At Perho, is a detachment of 650 men with two three-pounders, under the command of Major Fuandt.

" Head-quarters, Neer Carlet y, July 4. " Colonel Sandals has reported to me, under date of 27th June, that having received intelligence, that a numorous convoy of up wards of two hundred waggons, with provisions, five hundred horses, and a en miderable military chest, was on its way to Lap penreatu and Kr.opio, be ordered it to be attacked in consequence. Whereof nearly all the provisiOns were either taken or destroyed, a loss which will be the more severely fei: by the enemy,as they are in the utmost want of aU kinds of provisions, and which can not fail to prevent them for a considerable time front attempting any operation of magnitude against your Majesty's Finnish army, which still remains in the same situation, which I respectfully de• scribed in my Report of the 30th June, with the sole alteration that the fourth brigade has advanced to Lowes Karma, in order to relieve the third brigade, which has hitherto supplied troops for the chain of advanced posts, and that a detathment under the orders of Major Baron Other, protected by the gun boats which are no* ready, has pushed forwards to Little Weyra and Wasa.

On the 1 ct instant, we observed to the southward of this place, two English frigates and two cutters, the boats belonging to which were taking soundings in the channel of Malamocco. The Karrison was imme diately under arms, and the contiguous islands were adequately provided with troops and artillery. The frigates however sailed away, without attempting any thing. The largest frigate carried a Commodore's flag. Dui ilg the last month also several Barbary cruizers appeared off Corfu. VIENNA, JUNE 23. Besides the fortress _ot Brannau, which is now completely demolished, the Emperor has also given orders for dismantling the fortress of Egra, in Bohe mia. On the miler hand, the construction of new fortresses is going on with great activity. Besides Fort Comore, in Hungary, which has already b een frequently noticed, the Emperor has ordered the towns of Ens, in Austria, and Saltzburg, to be forti fied. The plan was drawn out by experienced en gineers, and the Archduke John has written a very extensive report upon the subject. The plan of the Archduke Charles for fcrming the Austrian arniy into ten -divisions - , on the model of the French grand army, is still a subject of much conver sation in this capital. The principal advantage in this organization would be that, in time of peace, the troops would be so united in bodies as that, in time of war, it Would be a work of much less difficulty to assemble them, and that those who are destined to act together would have the benefit of being niumaliv kuo l va to taco oithc ~,Rrta divisions would he stationed in tr.; of the Austrian provin4s, where the head (planers would be established in time of pcaie. It is asserted that thisjilan has met with much .apposition iu the Imperial Council, but' that :re Archduke Charles still persists in his efforts to', bring it to bear. - The Emperor has united the town and harbour of, •Fiume with Hungary, in consequence of which that kingdom will have a direct communication with the boa. On account of this event, which has been so long wi►hed for by the Hungarians, a solemn depu tation has been sent by them to Viemut, to thank the LoPporor for chif mark of his favour. JULY is, Yesterday sod the day before several French regi ments, to the n,umber of from 6000 to 7000 men, ' marched into the camp at Charlottenburgh: They '.will.lodge in straw huts until wooden barracks are ,erected. The total of the troops to be encamped there will be about 8000 men. The head quarters of the Duke of Belluno (Marshal Victor) arc at Charlottenburgh, in which place, and the adjoini ng villages the principal ' officers arc also quartered. The value of the crops growing on the scite of the encamp ment, which is the least product i ve of any spot in; the whole district, has been estimated, and the Owners are promised an indemnification in the enstv ing general apportioning of the contributions. The same plan will be followed in marking out the ground for the encampments at Havelberg and Ruppin, which, however, will not be so considerable The ' French troops in Silesia still continue to be comman ded by Marshal Mortier. The French are also about to form encampments in Paxnerania. One comprising Ite,ooo men, will be formed near Stettin, and another near Stargardt.— The nnmber of troops who are to compose the latter is not fixed ; but it will most probably be inferior to that of the former. HAARLEM, JULY :IR. According to letters from Paris, the Prize Court has condemned the American vessels, the Mercury and James Adams, Captain E. K. Bangs, with their cargoes, bound from Philadelphia to this place. A letter from Copenhagen, of the 9th, states the condemnation by the Prize Court there, of the Ame rican ship the Margaret, from Baltimore, with a cargo, consisting of 140,0001b5. of sugar, and 320,0001bc. of coffee. His Majesty, on the nth instant went from Lro to Arnheim, where he was received with the most marked demonstrations of joy. He has since been occupied in inspecting the different establishments in that place and the vicinity, and in consulting with the Minister of the Interior, as to the improvements of which they are susceptible. He has issued a de cree by which Arnheim is no longer to be considered as a fortress, and the out-works are to he disposed o 1 to private individuals.

Your feelings have even anticipated our wishes; and arready, not' less than ourselves, you esteem, love, and admire, our illustrious I Emperor. Tuscans! yoU are a good, a virtuous, and a loyal people. The Emperor knows and esteems you. Place your whole confidence in him. Let violent men of all parties become silent, and forego their absurd expectations. Let the brave, the wise, and impar tial classes of persons unite, and as in all the other parts of France, possess one soul and heart.

The greater part of the French garrison in this city, have marched for Lisbon. The remainder is shut up in the Castle of ..l.iea;having previously stripped the people of every thing, under the pretext of laying in provisions - for their sustenance. .; OPORTO, JULY W. In the evening of the 12th, 64 French soldiers ar rned in this capital, taken by the courageous Students of Coimbra. There were a number of killed and wounded, and one stand of colours taken, which was brought in tied to a horse's tail, to skew their contempt of these wicked men, the disgrace of Europe. These wretches were followed by - an im mense crowd, who poured out imprecations on them, and ejaculations of loyalty to our august Prince.— Notwithstanding their crimes, they found in the na tional hir.nanity, and in the recommendation of the Officers of our rrin&e, that mildness which they could not have expected, after the horrors, cruelties, and devastation, which they committed on tl,e open and defenceless country, in which the honour of that nation which calls itself great was rendered as despi cable as its military discipline, so much vaunted. .

A remote danger affrights you.-an Me ss y nary invasion terrifies you!—Do you not know, that the wh o l i power of Rome in the zenith of its splendour, and with her Eug. peroe at lace head, has not been able to add this small prEmime to her empire ? Have you forgot, that the innumerable hone Og g ,. barians which Africa has vomited into our peninsula , have low their tomb amidst these rocks I You are, peradventure, afraid o p the threats of the conquerors of Jena and Austerlitz.

They will faze the danger if their Chiefs bid them; but what w ill be their fate ? Will they return? Will they, if you reflex to taint your forefathers ? . but you attask the enemy with fur, ' anik desperation, they wink astonished and you will immolate them like victims unable even to help their...lves. They flail fall to your feet in heaps, who from terror, who (rem the irresisolale weight of your robust arms. Cast away your muskets, attack them with arms still more cruel, with implements of husbandry, with the same which your arms are accustomed to handle, and den you will shortly see the disparity, betwixt you and thou. The cavalry and artillery, in which their principal force consists, cannot avail them among you : all the rest is a contemptible maw, I without vigour, - without fortitude, at the utmost knowing to fire a musket, helpless and forlorn the moment you close in with them. Amami! Take heart! You will have the pledge of Victory With I you, and be assured the French will not invade you ; if they date, we shall entomb them among the mountains and yanks that nit. rand us. What ! think you that before they reach your towns, I even the nearest to Castile, they will not experience the havock of the artillery and of the troops that garrison our ports? The wise ipositions of the Supreme Junta, the precise and appropriate orders of the Commander in Chief, will they not repress the ins. petuusity of those ruffians, and not preserve the people against the effects which the invasion might occasion?

On the 26th day of June Seignor Caro attacked Moncey.between Quarte and Mishua, villages situa. ted at a small distance from Valencia, and obliged him to retreat. The Spanish 'arms were crowned with a similar success on the 27th, in which the Va lencians, sustained a considerable -loss, but caused a much greater one to the enemy. Our General had learned, that the enemy meditated an attack upon the town that night, and to cover it, moved under the walls. In fact, the French army began its attack at one o'clock in the afternoon, the 28th, with a brisk fire of artillery and musquetry, directed against dif ferent points of the town, principally aiming at the destruction .of the gate of Quarte. He, however, was received with such' vigour and steadiness by the batteries placed in the town, partly on the walls, and partly on the tops of houses, that on the approach of night, he retreated in complete disorder to his general quarters, situated between the two villages above said, and defended by a battery advantageously disposed. Under such circumstances, Messrs. Cervellon, Llamas, and Caro, desirous to dislodge him from such a strong position, determined that the Valencian, Murcian, and thosetroops that garrisoned the town, led on by their respective Commanders, should assault the trenches from all parts, which they did on the 29th. The combat was as obstinate and bloody as may be expected between two armies, the one superlatively disciplined, commanded by one of the greatest Gene rals France boasts of, placed in the necessity a con. quering or dying, animated by a succession of sixteen years victory, and farther protected by his situation; and the other stimulated by the quickest sentiments of Religion, Patriotism, and the love of Liberty. The good cause triumphed at lasi, and the enemy was sp completely routed, that from an army of 18,000 men, only 1000 made their escape. At the departure of the post they were fluctuating in uncer tain movements, such as doubt, terror, and despair may inspire, though at last they took the road of La Mancha. The measures that were taken to break down the bridges over which they were to pass, and, moreover, 100,000 peasants in arms, from the neigh bouring districts of Valencia, who are in pursuit of them, all render it almost impracticable for them to make a safe retreat. If all the people of this great nation were penetrated with similar sentiments, and they manifested the same constancy in danger, and obedience to their Chiefs, as these invincible Valen cians, we should evince to the whole universe, that there is no occasion for resorting to history to convince ourselves, that great virtues, directed by prudence, operate prodigies against numerous armies, thn:ggh supported by discipline, and by talents in the Chiefs. BA.DAJOZ, JULY le. A stratagem contrived by DUPONT, and contrary to the law of nations, has preserved his troops from a complete route. General Casrallos was preparing to attack him with numerous forces, but discovering in the vanguard of the enemy a multitude of children, women, secular, and regular clergymen, drawn from I
