PR OPOIIIT I TENI 41. LONDON: TUESDAY., .70 4 11: 27• The serenteenth French Bulletin, an Austrian Bulletin, German Papers to the 17th, and French Papers to the 18th inst. arrived in town yesterday; and we this morning received, by a fresh arrival, Dutch Papers to the 2-Ith, and French Papers to the 19th iitst.—At no period of modern history has the situation of Europe been so criti cally circumstanced as at the present moment.— 'l'ho only Continental Power in Europe ca pable of making bead against the tremendous confederacy, created and Consolidated by the ge sties of the Frs.neh Bmperer, is making a Alta struggle against that despotism, which his success ful direction, of the vast power that has fallen within his grasp, has enabled him so widely to ex. tend. That his hitherto resistless earn/ has boon checked, every successive account from the Con tient strongly rosibrass...but that it is pernsa. mostly arrested— while he bas under his command an organized 'limy of more 200,000 men—would be a cuncl ision certainly premature...althuugh it is, we think, perfectly 'trident, that he has no vuly experienced great losses, but has consider. able and unexpected difieulties to eticuunter.— The energy displayed by Austria, he did not anti. eipate; after the disastruus battles whieh were fought at the opening of the campaign, but little hope %sas entertained of Austria; and thi. extinction of tl at empire was a .4011 j c! of general, if not universal, belii I The most s...iking point in the Seventaenth Bulletin is Ih.• iotrutluetury pa. ragraph, in which the a, pro•ich of the Rlssi.in army to the assistance of the French ts held out, certainly as a subject of lively gra:ulativn. It will be seen, by the Pureign Paper. reeeiied ibis mottling, that even the Swiss contiugent is sum. mooed nigh all possible speed to job* the army in Germany. • The peipetnal recurrence in the French Celle. tins to the slate of the Danube, Most be considered, either, as mysterious, or delusive. If the situation of NAPOLEON were really, a. from some circum stances it might be supposed to be, dangernes, why all this talk about the Danube ?—Why this anxiety to establish and preserve a communication with the left bank, if he had nu intention of pass. ing that river ? Yet, on the other band, it seems extraordinaty; that, after the re-establishment of the bridges, be should have remained inactiveat the titer side from the 2.1t1 of May, the date of the 10th Bolletin, to the Bth of June, toe date of the 17th. jlie 10th Bulletin concludes in the following 1 1 words :..." We are labouring to replace the 46 bridges, and nothing will be undertaken till 44 they arc replaced." The 12th Bulletin ) dated the 26th of May, opens with the following para. graph :..." On the 23J and 21 h the army was 6 6 e iiployed to restore the briiiges, which were 44 reef* early in the morning of the 2511."... Here, then, from the 25th of May to the Bth of June, we have the bridges restored, and nothing' undertaken..-except a strong fortificatiun ms the left bank, to protect the bridge from the attack of the Austrians, who on their side have thrown up au entrenchment directly in front of that work. Now, whatever may have been the loses of the French, or the successes of the Austrians, one conclusion must be draeit----that, if NAruecos even feels it necessary, to continue inaeave, until all the reinforcements which he has called to his aid shall have arrived---it cannot be, that he should continually labour, permanently to est iblish the bridge, if be himself conceived his sou Ilion to be dangerous—ln that case I.e had nothing to dii but demolish the bridge, and defend the right bark... Is it that he is awaiting the arrival of the Russian s , who, if the Seventeenth Bulli•tin is to he credited, are directing their mareit oil Olmutz, from whence the road de s cends through Blimp, Nicuislatirg, and 11'olker.duril, to the D iiiiibe It is impossible to account for the anxiety thus. pliyed respecting the iJI Wax over the Danube upon any other principle than that of a determination to cross thev river, altituu,;k it is obvious, that hitherto, Arueaue is not prepared to make that grand ate this awfid interval, it becomes a question of time. " The Resslan " Army passed the frontiers on the ¶24th of May." 11 ill that army sake in the rear of tile A rehdul, e Cleasters • in the direction of Olin utz, before a decisive conflict takes place between the Grand I Armies ? It du been said, that the Austrians have every thing to pin, by protracting the battle. But if it be true that the Russians arc advancing, it is murobispoi taut fur ..NAruLkom to keep the A us. flan% where they arc ;...su far from inac. ttvity being useful to them, it must be destructive, if they were to suffer the French ta repose, until the arrival of the Russians. Whether the asser. Lion in the 17th 11.Iletin, of the Russians being on their march, i, true, we have no means of as. certaining. The Austrian Bulletin gives a very different complexion to the affair at Presburg, from th•mt in the 166 Fr.nch Bulletin ; for it seems that a strung the-du-tont has been constructed by the Austrians opposite to Presburg, on the right bank of the Danube, connecting, it Noll the large island them•. In the Austrian Bullets I, ma) be per ce•ived, entire confidence in the s • tirit and re , sources of the country ; and there seems no rea son to doubt the fidelity and mil of the II 'toga rian natitm. The intrigues of Prince EsTritiutZY, in Hungary, rest on mere rumour. Thu following Articles from the papen re cried this morning, shew that the report of the battle of the 12th is now discredited—bat they announce the important fact, that the King of SAXONY, with the whole Court, were compelled to retire fres Dresden, in consequence of the advance of the Duke of lINUNsWICICS Corps, and that Meg arrived at Frankfort on the 10th instant. Austrian Soldiers had also entered Bayreuth, and advanced near to Wurtzburgh... This is a 'movement of incalculable importance ; and if the report of 40,000 Austrians having crossed the Datsulkt at Lint; is true, it is impossi. Isle that the hostile armies could h ITC continued many dap, or even hours, without coming into furious cotstact....On the 17th, no account of any battle had reached Frankfurt ; but that such an event has taken place, every circumstance render. probable, and isitcll,4esscc to that effect may be hourly expected.

It was tasted, by persons who had arrived in the course of the day, that the Cap. fain felt stiffness in his legs, and that he was mooch Awed within the last day or two. It is & fact certain, that professional men judge of the under. taking nest to impossible to perform ; and al. though the renowned pedestrian will have gone two.thirds of the time to-morrow, it is the opinion of the prOfession at Newmarket that he will never accomplish it. but his friends can depend on his bottom and perseverance. IiPORTINCIA match which excited consider. l able interest took place yes►erday, between two ponies, Irish anti Panglish, on the Harrow road, fur 100 guineas. The distance was I() utiles, and the betting was two to une on the English panty. The animals were rule by their ewnrrs, each of whom weighed more than 11 stone and a half, and the Irish poney won the match tolerable easy in 33 minutes. The winner was descended from the celebrated Podereen Marc—Several amateurs of the turf were present at the match. Rosrat. WAGGON TRAIPI.—The Royal Wag. gan Train, which forms a m tterial item of to trenehment in Colonel Wardle.'s plan of economy, was formed on the suggestion of its present Coto. net, and was recommended to his Majesty by the late Commander in Chief, with whom Colonel Hamilton served in various capacities, during the Flemish campaign in 1793, 1791. The duties of this corps were formerly executed by the Train of, Artillery, and conoituted a very small 'branch of expenditure in the Ordnance Department ; on this account the Royal Waggon Corps has often been confounded with the Corps of Royal Artillery Drivers, althungh they are perfectly distinct and unconnected with each other; the former - being tinder thoQuarter.3laster.General, and the lat. ter wholly subordinate to the Royal Artillery.
