Are they ignorant that, in spite of the ablenee of a great part of the army, the greatest order and tranquii!ity prevail io the interior of the king. dons ? Do they not know that even where hatred against France has induced and nourished troubles and lose& feedlots, the Dutch troops have rivalled the French armies in re-establishing order and trauquillity ? Do they nut know that the Dutch troops have been present at all the victories which the French Generals have gained in Spain Are they the only persons in Eu— reps: who have so little knowledge of what passes as to be ignorant that it was precisely the Dutch troops who delivered the North of Germany from the robber, whom, according to their ac counts, the people sf Dolland wished to see carry off the King of Westphalia ? The blood of a Lieutenant-General, of many superior Offi. cers, and 300 brave men, which has been shed, the tears of the widows and orphans which still flow, sufficiently attests the part the Dutch have had, in giving repose to those countries. Let, then, those vile detractors blush, that instead of doing what was in their power, to cement more and more' the love and union between two nations, who have entirely the same interests, the UPC views, they have suffered themselves to do that, which was required to produce a contrary effect, if it was possible the loyalty of the Dutch character could be shaken by the malevo lent efforts of such instigators. Let them es pecially blush at having Oven scope to their male-' -faience, at a time when the Emperor Napoleon had just given them an unequiviical proof of his g ood will and satisfaction with the Dutch nation, in opening anew one of its sources of prosperity, and thereby giving to the whole of Europe a flat tering testimony of the perseverance with which Rolland maintains the measures adopted by its' King, to prevent that contraband trade by which his subjects are prevented from enriching them. eel vas. "This testimony is, of itself, more titan sufficient to confound all those, who wish to place in an un favourable light the conduct of Holland towards that nation, to whom she believes herself the must faithful ally, and she would believe it au honour as well u duty to share in her reverses, were it poslble that the incomparable genius of the Mo narch who governs France could suffer any. 44 Without doubt, during the time of war, a thousand petty reports will be circulated, a thou sand passions will be awakened ; the intriguers of all sorts art in motion, but these people are very different from a whole nation. There are,- with. out doubt, in Holland, as every where else, snug glen ; but we flatter eurselves there are fewer of them here than else.% here, and it will not perhaps be dmicult to give proofs, that the chiefs of these retches, though perhaps placed in the capital of /lolland, are foreigners. This is not the first time they hare endeavoured in every manner to hurt this country and its Government. It is to be lamented, that their wretched correspondence should fit9l place in Journals otherwise respect able." Courti, MAT 10.—General Donzilut, Gower. nor. General of the lonian Islands, having heard of toe declaration of war published by Austria ngain.t France, ordered that all the goods, les. eels, and other property of Austrian subjects in she islands, should be put under sequestratiou. The Aust. tan Cousul, Count Catugliano, has• been place.. under arrest. All the ships of war have received .irders to take the Austrian vessels. The lonian Moniteur has published a Firman of the Porte, addressed to the Yacht of Romelia, on the subject of the interruption of the tiegociations of peace with Russia. This Fireman is of the fol lowing tenor : " When this Imperial command shall reach you, you wilt learu by its tenor, that according to an agreement made between my august Court and the Russians, two Plenipotentiaries were named by the Sublime Porte to re.establish peace between these Powers. They were already arrived at the place of the Congress, and scarcely had the conferences commenced, when they were informed by particular advice that the Russians thought to pass with an armed force the Turkish frontiers.— After the knowledge of these hostile intentions, war must again break out between my august Court and that of Russia. I immediately caused all the fortresses and forts which had need of being put in a state of defence, to be properly supplied, . se that the Russian army cannot effect their pas sage. lam employed in reinforcing all the posts whieli ought to be guarded ; I hare given orders, both in Asia and Europe, fur the march of troops; they will march at once upon the points mention ed. You, the Vizier, will, at the moment you receive my venerable command, give, with that firmness and knowledge which characterise you, the most severe orders, that both by night and day the frontiers are guarded; and that the country under your Government. does nut remain a mo ment in inaction. Whoever is zealous for religion and for the Holy Prophet, ought, from this mo ment, to renounce rest and sleep, in order to fight the enemy. " I have given you my Supreme instructions; you will bow down your head before my orders, and rigorously execute them. " Done at Constantinople, 'lst of the Moon " Sipher, (18th March, 1809.") Ley.

The following account has been published:— ZULLIIITIN OF Tn R IMPERIAL ARMY, JUNE 11. " Capt. blenniger, of the Cuirassiers of the Archduke Francis, crossed the thseube on the 31st of May, and dispersed in Langenstein a de. tachment of Saxon dragoons of the regiment of the Duke Albert. lie "deuced the same day to allunslatten, when he fell in with &corps of Saxons and other enemy's troops, which he engaged, killed 200, among whom were officers, and made 1l prisoners. " On the 9th inst. the enemy attempted to ren der himself master of the post of Theben, situ. aced opposite to Ifeimbergh, probably with a view of taking Presburgh, and the bridge-head constructed on the right banks of the Danube. Five hundred men approached our banks in five vessels, but one Austrian battalion of militia (handwehr) which were posted there gave the enemy such a warm reception, that he found him ►elf compelled to retreat with the utmost speed. " The battalion of Bohemian militia, which is commanded by Count Ifuntineuti, has captured. in the vicinity of the village of Obermiel, two large vessels laden with rice and brandy, and de. 'tined for the enemy's army." FROM THE AUSTRIAN IMPERIAL HEAD-QUAR- TERs. WOLYERSDORIP, Jt" It—His Majesty the Emperor' of Austria has received the following report, by a courier who was dispatched from Inspruck the 31st of May : " After Field Marshal Lieut. Chasteler, who commanded in Tyrol, had marched to Lienz, in 'Pusterdale, in order to attack the Italian army, which was advancing against Styria and Corinthia, with part of his corps, the Austrian Major Gene ral Buol remained, with part of the 7th corps, in the strong position at the foot of the Brenner Mountain, in the Lueg, in order to cover South Tyrol from the attacks of the Bavarian troops, who had entered Inspruck. 66 While the ,inhabitants of the towns of Ins pruck and Hall were laying down their arms in order to relieve their districts from the calamities they suffered, fresh assemblages of armed peasants were formed in the vale of the Upper Inn, as well as the Lech, and in Vinslgau. with the assist ance of Telmer, as in the dale of the Lower Inn and the Wipp, chiefly by tt ‘vellanown Sand. worth and Anduro Hofer, who commands the Fu. ulcers: and as early as the 27th of May, the for mer arrived mit!. 2000 men, in the environs of Schonberg, and Major Teiaser with a larger nuns bee. in Telt. Schonberg is sitnated 3, and Telf 5 hours march from In.pruck. " On the 28th, au action took place with the Bavarian troops, from 8 to 8000 strong, and an armistice was concluded for 12 hours. The Ba varians had evacuated lospruck, but were over taken near Vamp, where another severe conflict was fought. According to the same amyl t, the In, erial A ust ion troops are making inroads from the Southern part of the Tyrol, as far as Verona." (Utrecht Gazt.tto of Jane 12.) Vice na, Juan 12.- The 4th inst. the corps of the Marshal Prince of Poive-Corvo entered this city ; a strong division of Saxon troops forms part of that corps. On the 3tb, a heavy cannonade was heard on the part of Klaster-Neuberg. It la now known that the French had collected a large quantity of pontoons, and other necessaries, for the construc tion of bridges, which the Austrians destroyed by the above cannonade. The French are employed in constructing nom. ben of large rafts, Which are all carried up the Danube to Ebersdorf. Deputies have been sent to Hungary, in order to obtain a supply of provisions from that country, far the city or Vienna, where the utmost want be gins to prevail. Count Dietrichstein, Vice-Presi dent of the Aulic Chancery of Bohemia, is at the head of the deputation. The; day **division of French troops marched from hence, in the direction of Penzing, Hißus. durf, and Buckesdoif. A contribution of 18 millions of francs is said to have been imposed on this city. Since the action near Since, in the vicinity of Presburgh, several other severe conliets have ta ken place in Hungary. The whole of the Italian army, under the orders of the Prince Viceroy, oc cupies the districts of Oedcnburgh and Wiese!. burgh. A great numbor of wounded soldiers con. tinue to arrive in this capital, and the neighbour ing villages. WARSAW, JUKE 10.---The General of Division Zajonczeah attacked yesterday the Austrian army, near Goiscamini and Wattle, with considerable success. The hen'-quarters of the said General were that tiny in Glowazewo, and those of General ' Dombrowski in Skiernewic. Mummy, Jerss 14.—The Tyrolese insurgents have fallen back to their frontiers. By order of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, a sepa rate corps of from 30 to 35,000 men is 'to act against the Northern parts of Tyrol. The Kara. fiat' division of Wrcde, which was to form part of that corps, has received counter-orders, and is fur the present to remain in Lintz. In its stead, a division of the Army of Reserve, under the orders of the Duke of Valmy, is to be conveyed in waggons from Mayenne to Augsburg. It is also reported, that another corps of French troops is to make an attempt to advance over the Brenner, through the South of Tyrol, which takes but a small share in the ingerrectiwt. SLIODEIII/11t0111, JON* 17.... The Salton troops bare evacuated Wittembargh. The commandant of that city has now herr 50 pootoons, and 12 pieces of ordnance ; in short, all the military stores hare been removed hither. It is said, that the Austrians have enterd Halle ' and show an in. tention to direct their march to Brunswick. FIOK SAXONY, JUNII 17.... A corps of 2000 Salon troops, which had taken post on the fron. tiers, has fallen back to Allcnburgh. Lstrzie, June 19.—An Austrian officer, ac compauied by a trumpeter, arrived here at half put eleven o'clock this morning, immediately proceeded to the Senate-house, and ordered quar. tors for a strong column of Austrian troops which is advancing from Dubin, and expected herc in the course of the afternoon.—Nine o'clock at at ht. The above Austrian troops bad not yet arrived. Duteous, June M.—Yesterday arrived hers, another corps of Austrian troops, from I to 8000 strong, under the orders of General Kilnin g and immediately pursued their march, after having taken some refreshment. Since the 1 ltli inst. from 18 to 20,000 men have in the wbule passed PROPOsITJ TEVA X. LO VDON yoND At, mar 3. WHETHER the long inacti►ity of NAPOLEON, on the Danube, has given confidence to those persons on the Continent who are hostile to the French interest—or whether the loss of the French army was really so great as the reports from various parts of the Continent, noes repre sent it to have been, is a question, the truth or falsehood of which cannot at the present mo. ment be ascertained—but certain it is, that ac counts hare been rereited from Paris, in which the loss of the French is swelled to 40,000 men. This, whatever may be the exaggeration of the report, tends to slices, that in the capital of France, the reputation of NAPOLEON e invincibi. lily must have snstained a most important blow. --The battle of Esling---the long protracted inac vity of NAPOLEON at Vienna—the insurrections in Germany—the evacuation of the capitals of their kingdoms by the ephemeral vassal Monarchs of NAPOLEON'S creation...and the preparations at length making by England—have already pro. duced a new and strong sensation throughout France.—and the superficial minds of the Parisians, ...versatile and fluctuating as the wind--are alike prepared to deify their hero NAPOLEON, if he is ultimately successful.--air to execrate his life, and conduct, should he, at last, be abandoned by the fickle Goddess Fortune, whose smiles he has so long contrived almost to monopolize.... We, now for the first time, learn, not only by the information of persons very recently arrived from France, but by the accusations in the public Journals, that " bad news" begins to find a cir culation there. Of this the Dutch are accused as the authors.—" All the bad news, all the re. 66 ports unfavourable to Franco have their source 46 in Holland." Against this charge the Dutch Journalists have published their defence—which is just such as might have been expected from a people, who had never fought for liberty—or who had never tasted of the cause of freedom ; but that so mean, so servile, so despicable an apology should issue from the public press of Holland, is a proof of the degradation of the people of the ei.derant Republic, which almost surpasses credibility. It is, in truth, almost in. credible that the descendants of those men, who for thirty years maintained a war against the force of the then united Monarchies of Spain and Austria, for their freedom, can have descended to justify their fidelity to that man who overturned the sys tern of Government—the Republic of Holland— for which their forefathers fought and bled. " Are they (the French writers) ignorant of 6 " the patience, the resignation, with which Hol. " land has supported tho sacrifices required, to maintain the only system that can cola, ilute to " the vast designs of the great Afonarch who 6, governs France ?" What did the iohabi. tants of Holland say to the vast designs of the great Monarch who governed France when the Prince of ORANGE came from the Ave Re. public of Holland by the invitation of the people of England in 1088 I—Were those men disposed to concur in—co.operrte with—and bleed for that great Monarch Louis the 14th, In his vast design of universal monarchy ?.--" D , ) they not know " that the Dutch troops have been present at all " the victories gained by the French Generals in " Spain ?"... What, are the Republican Holland ers so abased, as unblushingly to boast of having been actors in that mast infamous of tragedies.__ the invasion of unoffending Spain ? !! The Dutch character once stood on a most proud eminence : industrious, frugal, moral, de. termieed foes of despotism, proud and haughty republicans...-Of the former qualities they may y et retain as much as the corruption of French man. ners and influence cams leave to any people who have been doomed for some years to the contami nation of French association; bet the latter we cannot hesitate to pronounce extinct in the minds of these ci-derant Republicans. True it is, that this defender of the Dutch press may be some French agent, appointed by the great Mo narch to expound the nature of Liberty to a people who seem so little to have understood it as the Dutch...." Holland would believe it an honour, as 64 well as a duty, to partake of the reverses of 44 France,toere it possible that the incom parable ge— " nius of the Monarch who governs France could 66 sufferany." This paragraph can havecome from the pen of no man but a Frenchmen ; and we arc Killing to cherish a hope that the People of Hol. -land will yet rescue themselves from the imputa tions east upon their national character in the pa. per to which we hire alluded...by throwing off the yoke of France, es tbilif tbrefatillers threw off that of Austria. The last arrivals bring a varkity of intelligence from almost every part of Europe....To the Da. nube, our attention is first directed....Frnm Vi. mina, we yet hear nothing bet "dreadful note of prrperation."---The constructiOn Of rens-may be conjectured to be for the purpose Or attempt. log the passage of the Danube at various, and at unexpected points.—The iietory of the Vlcattoir not having preiented the retreat of the Archduke perhaps ; be eon. sidered one of those successes—so happily termed by Mr. WI xnuAw...negative.

The force which he rowintands is certainly hansom. THE Favourite cutter, from Gijon, kings the mortifying news, that immediately fleet the cap ture of St. Andero by the Spaniards, it was re captured by a corps of 3000 French troops, and the greatest part of the Spanish garrison pet to the sword. The accounts, therefore, that we have received from the north of Spain of the dis. estrous situation of the French there, must be, as almost all our accounts from the Peninsula have in truth been, erroneous. From many parts of Spain we have accounts of the successes of the Patriots ; but repeated disappointments render it impossible to place any faith in these statements. IxTrwcurcz has been received from Portngal, but nothing from Sir ARTHUR WILLISLEY. The cause of his long state of inaction is variously ac. counted for; but we feel difficult to believe that the want of stores and necessaries for the troops can be the real cause, for Ministers 'Orel/ cannot but have profited by the experience of the nume rous miscarriages that hare happened b, their former blunders. It is certainly not a little extraordinary to fled * that after all the boasting there has been of the dis. asters of the * Freneb in the Peninsula, they cannot, even with our assistance, be driven out of the nor. there provinces of Spain. King Jowls continues to exercise his regal functions in Madrid. And while NAPOLEON is absent with the flower of his army on the banks of the Danube, his Generals main. tame themselves in Spain in spite of all our efforts. SOUZA we have driven out of Portugal, and of what possible advantage is that to us whilst Spain is in the possession of the French ? Will any man now doubt that had not NaroLsosr been called from Spain to Germany, " there would " not at this moment have been a village in the 4 4 Peninsula in insurrection ?" Bat for the coo• test in Germany, the business in Spain had been completely settled months ago, and the Inking*. tioo, or emancipation of the Peninsula, yet de. ponds entirely on the issue of the contest in Ger. many. Tut Armies of Russia are already pretty well occupied by the Turks.-.the Swedes...and in Po. land...thus the division of the troops of that em. pire renders the hostility of Russia to Austria.... if it be sincere...of much less weight than it would otherwise be felt. The Proclamation or Firman of the Gas ND Sioirron...is not in a desponding tone—but it may be feared that the superiority of the Russian discipline will ultimately prevail.
