PIIOPOSITI TEN/ Z. LONDON: SATURDAY, JULY 1. Tux celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Islarengo, with which the Nineteenth French Bulletin opens—(received yesterday afternoon) — loses much of the stage effect, by the absence of the principal performer, NAPOLEON himself.— Passing over the details of the operations of the Army of Italy, by which this anniversary was ce lebrated, and coming at once to the result, it ap. pears that, admitting the account in the French Bulletin to be literally true—that 3000 Austrians were killed, and 3000 made prisoners, out of fifty thousand, an army of 41,0(X) is cer tainly in existence, under the Archduke Jons— and whether that Army has been " pursued at the point of the bayonet, since the B.cttle on " the Piave.'"---or whether it has been hastening to the Danube, by the orders of the Archduke CitARLES, certain it is, that these " remants of the Army of Italy," as they were termed in a former French Bulletin—will bring a very considerable accession of force to the Austrians on the I)anube..-.From Lintz to Comorn, the armies of France and Aus tria form together a force exceeding any thing that was, perhaps, ever brought together in the same compass. As the Bulletin admits the loss in the French Army to have been 900-.-it is not very unreasonable to conjecture, allowing for the usual diminution and exaggeration, that this victory has not been very decisive, or one of which the French can have very great reason to boast. They hare, undoubtedly, obtained a victory ; because they have advanced, while the Austrians are retreating —but whether they were not actually retreating before the battle, there are no means of knowing. That, however, makes all the difference. The first Brilletin was dated April 24th, and announced - the opening of the campaign at Pfaffenhoffen on the 19th.—The seventh Bulletin, dated May 13, from Vienna, anuoucced the entrance of the French on the 12th into that capital—a period of 23 days from the opening of the Campaign.— From the surrender of Vienna, to the 20th, the time was occupied in preparations for passing the Danube—then came the memorable battle of Es. ling—and on the 23d of May we were told in the 10th Bulletin, that nothing further would be un. dertaken until the bridges over the Danube were secure. That they were restored on the 25th, was anuctuaced in the following Bulletin, and yet, from the 23d of May to the 16th of Jane, twenty four days, being a longer period than it took to de feat the Austrians, in repeated battles, and to capture Vienna, the French army is still lying these, waiting for reinforcements. The storm that is collecting, in this long inter val of preparation, will, ere long—perhaps, 'ere this has—burst mitts tenfold fury on the Danube, to the banks of which, almost all the force of France and Austria has been brought. It is therefore scarcely possible that the conflict, when it once commences, should very long remain indecisive. If the French suc ceed in piercing the line of the Archduke, the cause, in all probability, may, from that moment, be considered as lost—but if the French are not successful in that attempt—the disaffection which unquestionably exists will rapidly extend itself, and threaten the French with most disastrous conse quences. The result of the contest cannot be even conjectured. General Danube has hitherto been a formidable foe to NAPOLEON ; but if he felt him self in a situation of peril, the Army of Italy and the corps under the Duke of AUIRSTADT would not press forward in the direction of Hungary.— Were he not confident of the strength of his own resources, Spain would be instantly evacuated.— Whether his confidence be well founded, the event alone can decide. That the Austrians are in a very different state with respect to military strength, discipline, and talent than we were led to believe after the battle of Abensherg, is a subject of gratulation to know. But it is surely unrea sonable and presumptuous to indulge in a too san guine expectation of the result of this tremendous contest. Peatuovzst Papers to the 6th were received this morning, from which the foltosving are extracis : COINSIII A, Jrvtt 3.—.Arcording to intelligence from Ba dojos, of the :6th ult. it appears that the army of Itterfia woe retiring towards its former positior, abandoning Akan tara.

In Torre Mocha and Miami there is another division of infantry. The cavalry• of the vanguard is stationed at Truzillo, %%here, on the Y.lth of May, arrived 300 covered carts, and for which place the sick and wounded had set out Irons Caceres. The whole of his artillery is placed on the bridges of Torre-Orgnt, l'orrearischn and l3otija.

A private letter from Rotterdam, dated the 26th of June, which was received yesterday, con tains the following intelligence : . _ .. .• It is reported that the King of WKSTTH•LI A, in con sequence of a gerteriil commotion :Moog his subjects, lins taken refuge is Frankfort, the inhabitants of which air even apprehensive of au hustik visit." It is slid that an embargo was ordered to be laid yesterday at Yarmouth, and that similar or. den hare been dispatched to other ports to the Eastward and Southward. Lieutenant Gime, of the Barfiear, arrired yesterday at the Admiralty with dispatches. We understand, however, that he hag brought no news of importance, having left the 'ragas so far back as the ith of last month. A report prevailed yesterday that Harnburgh and Bremen were evacuated by the French. It was also said, that some commotion had taken place in Holland. A Russian Ukase his been received, candentn. ing the English and American ships seized at Riga. Flanders is said to be in a state of insurrection. It is laid that no Court Martial will be held on Lord Gmastru, though his Lordship demanded one, as there is no person whatever to prefer any charges against his Lordship. 'age Earl of CUATUA )1 has given the necessary orders for his immediate departure, as Commander in Chief of the intended grand expedition. His Lordship is not to be suprrseded in the Ordnance Department ; Sir Timm AS TRIGG, as Deputy, will preside at the head of that ufficc during his .ord. ship's absence. For above a week past, Sir Er RE COOTE, and all the General Officers upon the Staff, fur the Ex. pedition which is preparing for foreign service, have been in daily attendance upon the Earl of CHA T. Hkas, at his house in Hill-street, Berkeley-square. The Noble Earl gave audiences to about twenty Officers on Wednesday morning. Captain GA111)- 211E1', and his Lordship's other Aid-de-camps, are preparing for foreign service. The Marquis WELLESLEY has been prevented from betting oft' upon his mission to Spain, on ac count of indisposition. The Noble Marquis being recovered, he will lease London, on Monday, fur Portsmouth, to proceed to Spain. He will be ac companied by Lord APSLEY, the son of Earl BA. THURST. The statement in a Paper of yesterday, of Sir H. BURRARn having an appointment in the grand Expedition, is unfounded. Orders have been issued to the Commanders of Volunteer Corps throughout the kingdom, to in. form their respective Corps that none will be con tinued which shall not in future provide their own cloathing. The two first companies of the 95th Ride Corps, which are about to march from Ilythe for Ports. mouth, there to be embarked, consist of upwards of 200 men rank and file, and of as fine fellows as any in his Majesty's service, full of ardour to met the enemies of their country, under the coin. mind of Capt. Caoot i. A letter from Cork, dated June 23, says :.-- " The troops composing the force under the com mand of MajOT.Gen. LIGUTBURNE, were all em barked yesterday; and - the harbour of Cove, dur ing the whole of the nay, was a scene of shouting and acclamation, an auspicious augury of the fu_ tore conduct of this fine body of men. The Virginia frigate, Capt. BRACE, takes charge of the expedition to its destination. The following statement is in circulation The tradesmen of an illustrious female, who hare long had considerable demands upon her Royal Highness, are placed in a satisfactory wsy of being paid, by her Royal Consort, who has directed 49,0001. out of his own revenue to be applied to that purpose. He has also added 1 50001. per annum to the income of her Royal Highness ; so that no necessity can possibly arise for any pecuniary embarrassments in future, either to that Princess, or the tradesmen of her household." The Curiosi arc anxious for the trial of a Noble Duke on a charge of gallantry ; but when the age of his Grace is conaidrreil, it is lint to be expected that the prosecutrix should be aisle to make out a very strong case. • Mr. 'l'.

Extract of a Letter from Riga, June 9.—" The most severe measures are resorted to, to prevent any thing from England being admitted. Near 15 vessels and cargoes are already condemned, the Danish and French Ministers having severally de. dared the certificates counterfeit, which have been exhibited from Bergen, and ports of Holland. A Commission, in which all the Consuls are to sit, has been appointed to examine the papers of every vessel that enters any Russian ports. This already causes much delay ; and a large premium is to be held out fur every one that proves a fraud, in which the Captain and crew are to participate, if they favour the condemnation, which follows of course." His Majesty's ship Talbot has captured and sent into Leith the Danish privateer Loses. A number of the persons confined nt Verdun have succeeded in effecting their escape. Some of them are already arrived in England. One gentleman states, that, on his passing through Arras, he saw a considerable number of young conscripts who were on their way to join the French army in Germany. Many of them moves with distressing reluctance, accompanied by their parents and relations, and others were eompelle,', to march by force.
