There have bean so many accounts respecting the suc cesses of the Austrians, so many positive statements from so m:iny different quarters, that it is cry difficult, if not impossible, to refuse them credit. Oe the other hand, however, these see era) accounts, as separated from t'ee tes timony by which they are supported, arc so improbable in themselves, and so totally contradictory to all the French accounts, and even to weat would seem the natural result of some farts which speak for themselves, that there is al most as much diqiculty to relieve them, as to reject them. If the question was merely a question of testimony, there would be no hesitation.. The French arc such convicted falsifiers, that it reqniros ne stretch of prejudice to reject • all their stateinents in a mass. But whee these statenictits are unfortunately supported by every direct and collateral confirmation, when they are telbstantiated by posi tive and palpable facts, under sech circumstances it becomes impossible to reject them. Such, there fore, appears to us to be the main features and cha racteristic distiactions of the French accounts, as com pared with the Austrian. The Austrian accounts are for the most part mere naked stateinen ts,w ithout consequences, without any visible results or substantial proof. On the other hand, the French eccouuts are accompanied by some hard facts—by some sabstantial and undeniable points, which go to confirm the main assertion. For example, an Austrian account will say—" On the road between Scrau berg asid Elms we met a body of the enemy of 10,000 Intel, and after a fierce engagement, cut them all in pieces ; the enemy fled in every direction, but satisfied with the glow lions result, we did not advance." A French Bulletin, on the other hand, will state—" On the road between Ratis bon and Neiustadt, we met the Austrian right wing, we engaged them, routed them, and Ratisbon is now our own." In this account we see that there is a fact which speaks for itself, whilst the Austrian statement stands uPon a mere naked assertion. For some dal* past a report has been current in London, that a battle was fought on the 3d between the French and the Austrians, in which the French were defeated with the loss of 12,000 Men. The origin of this report is assigned to some Dutch Letters.—lt is not wii.hout sincere regret, that we have to express our firm coil viCtion that nu such battle his been fought.—lf it had occurred, it must have beea fooght either by the Archdukes CciArti,t:s or LE:vis. Now it could not have been by the Archduke Cii. , „l:Lies, from the date of the time at which he commenced his'retreat, which was on the first of the month. Boor./ApinTE then inns! have been beaten by That part of thi aria y which was under the Archduke LEWIS, which we underStattrito bellow commanded by General lltLi.Ea, and . which, 'according to the last accounts, was posted upon the Triton. 'Cow it ie not very probable that this defeated a rmy,which never con.' , sisted of more thaa 30,000 mon, even though it vias'after wards reinforced, should have rallied and obained r vietory over the three corps of the French army, and thi . : combined Bavarian and Wirtemberg force, cOmmande'e by HONA• rsit'sF.
