In another :place we have pe , ssed in review the (he ciuc-cel tv cuts of the canippigil, and we were in hopes, th,lt cur attention being no lung - ei distracted by military subjects, SEPT. 19 -. we might give to the Proclamation of Austria the attention 'it so eminently commands. But, in the course of yesterday, the town has been agitated by rumours of fresh and impor tant advantages over the enemy, which it is our duty to state, together with the grounds which add to, or detract from, their probability. The first of these reports is conveyed in a. letter from Deal, which appears of undoubted authenticity, as far as the veracity of the writer himself is concerned, it is as follows: " DEAL, SEPT. IT. —News (if true) of the highest importance has just arrived here, sent from the Commander of the in-shore squadron off the Scheldt to the Commander-in Chief in the Downs. The intelligence thus obtained, states, that the Allies had made a general advance and attack upon the French Armies, and that most sanguinary Battles were fought on the sth, 6th, and 7th of this month, near Dresden, BUONAPARTE, being nearly surrounded, was obliged to cut his way through the Allies, and retreat in disor der towards France, leaving Eighty Thousand of his Soldiers Killed, g'ounded, or Prisoners, in the hands of our Friends, the Mlles. It is also stated, that commotious in Holland and Flanders, begin to make a visible appearance." The second communication, also from Deal, is of the fol lowing import : , "Fhe Badger hired armed cutter, Lieutenant MansuraL, arrived at Deal yesterday, after a short passage from Heligoland : a Gen.' tleman who arrived in her, states, that previous to the sailing of the Badger, accounts, which were regarded as nearly official, had reached the Island, from which -it appeared, that the Allied Army having concentrated thuir forces in the neighbourhood of Dresden, had made another attack on thA City with. complete success. A battle which lasted three days, commenced, which ter minated in the total Defeat of the French , who lost Seven Thousand Killed, a great number of Wounded, and about Sereoty Thousand Prisoners. PuoNAPARTE endeavoured to cut his way through the Allied Army with a part of his troops, but was nnsiteeessfal, and it was supposed at Heligoland had e-caprd individually. " We have not learned at what date the Padger sailed, but it must have been after the packet which brought the Mail." • On this we have to observe that the Badger is certainly arrived at Deal, but not from Heligoland, she was stationed off the Scheldt, yet this circumstance does not prevent us to credit those rumours so far as to believe that a serves of en gagements have actually taken place on the days mentioned. For this we rely on the character of incessant attack and diver sion, which the war has assumed, and on the authority of the Et Inch papers last received, and to which we have before alluded. These state, on the authority of private letters of the 7th of September from Dresden, that the Emperor, who had left that capital the Sd, " had returned to it the Gth . •in the evening in good health. 'He had pursued and driven the enemy to the other side of the Neiss. As soon as the enemy perceived with whom they had to deal, they precipitately fled in all direc tions. The Duke of TARENTUM MACDONALD) remained. in a good position, and' in sufficient force to make head against the enemy, should he rally." From this it is evi dent that BUONAPARTE thought the danger sufficiently pressing on the side of 'the Neiss to leave Dresden in per son, and he seldom makes such sallies unaccompanied; but in the prekent instance, it appears lie returned alone. On the other hand, had he obtained any marked advant:,tTes, the. news would ce'tain4 have reached Paris at the same time as these private letters, if not before. NVe are -obliged to postpone to the next Number. our re flections on the Austrian Declaration. VICTORY OF GEN. BLUCHER OVER MACDONALD, &c. Mr. Eves. a Messenger, arrived in the packet which brought the Gottenburgh mail, with dispatac.s from Lord CATHCART: The Messenger brings ,a account, which is likewise corroborated by the accoun; from Cottenburgh, that an. official Bulletin was issued on the 30th ultimo, state, inc., that General BLUCHER bad obtained a great victory
