Russia did every thing to prevent the I commencenient of these hostile operations. She declared even to the Court of Austria, that, pur. suant to articles of treaty between the Emperors of Russia and France, and to the close alliance entevil into by those two Powers, she should be obliged to act in concert with France. Austria listened to none of these remonstraucce, but long endeavoured to conceal her warlike preparations, tinder pretence that she was obliged to adopt ma. cessary treasures for her security sod defence, till she at last, by open bostilitiesti . betrayal her de. signs, and kindled the dames be war. 44 Russia has no longer hiiitated to take a part In a war in which she is Irtruiad to engage by tke artist solemn treaties.

The enemy baying mild:a new effort, were received by the 7)ih regi ment with their usual coura.7e. and were attacked in their tarn.

After nary frokle.ss efforts to take she positiou by norm, the enemy were basted in endeavouring to torn our troops, who would thu. hive beta plated in danger, when I ordered General Clause! to etlvattre with them battalions of the fhb legs neat, not only to relieve and support our troops, but also to act °Tenderly, and to threaten the . retreat of the who* corps of the enetny.

My resolution was to cross over by it with my whole firer Wore the break of day, in Order to come up with the enemy as soon as ;Resale, oat supposing that they would postpone their retreat ow moment. But the restoration of the bridge took up more time that' I bad intagioed, and the transport* of our sounded nos so da nk, that by mid-day the Imps were sot in readiness tis ad vance. On the other hand, the enemy, nith .1 or MOO men, bad made an ofeersive movement. marching upwards along the Lieu. This resolution of the enemy appeared to ari.e from the near approach of reinforcemeats, sent by General Itoescrich, and which, as was said, were scarcely a few miles olt. Nevertheless the division Montrichard cm-red the river without opposition ; so that white the head of tour columns made a demonstration towards the pass into the low country, the enemy's troops that acre itdvanciag up the Licen re treated, and drew up before as in order i' battle with seven battalions, and a great number of cannon, for the purpose of di tout h it th e p a s.... thr..ugh whkh we most descend f the heig:its into tit: plain. General Defame, at the bend of the 2 d regiment, gained as much ground as 1111530,1 e on the bank of the river, and al/ sooner were the Nit r.ni Bth regiments drawn up, than they advanced against the enemy, and forced him to retreat. In a moment we gained sufficient ground to be able to combine the army without danger. The approach of night prevented In from deriving advantar from these operations, and at day break we no longer saw the enemy. On the Jd we entered Govieb.

Ix the supplement to the 17th French Bulletin; the Duke of ItAucsA (Marmon() has given a pretty circumstantial &tall of thu occurrences which took place in fighting his way through Croatia, to join the French &mirror. In thM Course of these operations be was isitncelt wounded —as were also General Staves nod General De • ,lase NA • . This admission is, of itself, sufficient 4o shew, that the Army of Dalmatia has had some innd fightiqz, and particularly at the butt , : of Y Gonpich-v-wlicre lt.tousA says, speaking o f t h e s trength of the enemy, " His force dv l i .4 o: ( l:24 tii i:u ti r a ' l , l *—and his position was a fine one."

At length, however, the river , was passed ; and the French troops compelled the' enemy to retreat. But " the approach of night 46 prevented us from ekciving advantage front " these * operations ; and at day.lreak we no " 'timer saw the enemy." It is cleat that this battle was not gained without strious lass on the part of the French. lint the only true criterion of the result of an engagement—is the subsequtnit movements of the armies.—And the Duke It t. ecsA certainly gained his point—for hr. cunti. need to advance. What direction the Croatiarrs took, dues nut appear.

A Report has been prevalent during yesterday and this morning, that an eng.sgenient heiactually taken place in Hungary---that the ArrbJnkc JOHN is wounded—and that the French retreated —.But we have been unable to trace thi3 Report to any probable source.

EIN, on bis entrance into Gallicia, which was re. ceived yesterday, breathes a more temperate spirit than the measures which are said to have been taken in Russia to prohibit commercial intercourse ; with Great Britain. The moralky of the Court of Petersburgh is pretty much on a par with the general civilization of the inhabitants , which are thinly scattered over the vast space of territory complehended in the Russian Empire. It is, I however, yet possible that the subserviency of the limpet:on to the views of NAPOLEON may not accord with the views and opinions of his Subjects. The rumour of an. insurrection in Nor.voy, brought by the Gottenburgh Mail, is intoresting ; but it mast be remembered that it comes from Sweden, the natural enemy of Denmark- how many rumours of the Rallle description had we from France daring the Iteroluti:n ! !
