General Rnsia marched against it, and a lefece engagement tank place, when nine hun dred prisoners were made. Prince Eugene, with a large curia, manoeuvres iu the ware of Hun. g.try. Fur some days past the Danube has over. dowed a foot. " General Gratien, with a Dutch division, Ravin; marched to Stralsund, wl.ere Schill had entrenched himself, tarried the entrenchments by assault. Schill gave orders to burn the town, to secure his retreat, but had not time. Schill him self was killed in the great square near the Corps de Garde, at the moment when he fled, and was endeavouring to to/eh the port in order to em bark. " The Archduke Ferdinand evacuated Warsaw precipitately on the Std inst. so that the whole of the Grand Duch} is abandoned by the enemy's army, whilst the troops under the command of Prince Poniatowaky occupy three-fourths of Gallicia." EVENTS IN POLAND. gg The enemy rapidly continues his retreat. Oa Hie 28th of May, twelve Polish pikemen, on a re. counoitring party, met 100 Austrian dragoons at Skirnerivice, who were retiring upon Rawe, threw them into complete disorder, and made eleven pri soners. On the morning of the 30th, General kosinski, commanding the advanced guard, after entering Lovicz, penetrated to Sachalzeir, but found no enemy there, and they appeared to have retired towards the Pelicu. Some accounts, how. ever, state, that the greater part of the Austrian force is moving towards Upper Silesia. They commit the greatest excesses ; they carry off every where provisions, cattle, and horses. " The Archduke Ferdinand, notwithstanding the Conventiou he made with Prince Poniatowski, by which he bound himself to demand no contribu. Lion, Imposed one of four hundred thousand guij. dors on the town of Warsaw. He besides re. quired that there should be delivered:Rl him the produce of the land tax of the domains; and the surplus of a forced loan which was subscribed in 1805, but the payment of which was not to be completed till 1810. Following the example of their Commander in Chief, the Generals, Officers, and Soldiers have endeavoured by every means to ruin the country. The Prince Poniatowski writes to the Prince of Neufchatel, from the head quarters at Jozeni, 25th May, that on the preced. leg day General osinecki took possessiou of Go. iroslow, where he made prisoners one Colonel, 25 Officers, and 900 men. The possession of this town completely intercepts the communication be. tween Cracow and Lemberg, and assures to our . army the possession of three-fourths of Gallicia. The advanced posts were within a day's. eparch of Cracow. The latest accounts received in the Grand Duchy from Prince Poniatowski mention, that he made himself master of Brody, the last town of Gallicia or. the frontiers, where he found cousiderable maguincs, and abundance of provi lions.” Monica, June 11.—It ip said that 15,000 in. fantry of the Army of Reserve, under Marshal Kellerman, are on their march Ats the Tyrol. The Emperor will no longer suffer thee rebels, whom he has already pardoned, to continhe their ra. rages. Baaxacusuao,Juxe 18.—On the 14th a part of the Austrian troops from Bohemia entered Leipeie. According to ether accounts the Duke of arunswick-Oels was yesterday at Halle. The troops asscinblea here marched to-day towards Sanderha EITURT/I, Jose 10.—An Officer in the service of the Emperor Napoleon, on his way from Pe. tersburgh to the Imperial head quarters, brings in telligence that the Emperor of Russia, and the Grand Duke Constantine, left Petersburg's on the 25th of May. to place themselves at the head of the Russian army, which has already received or ders to act with vigour against Austria. PAWS, JUNZ 19.—Tho Moldiest of this day contains nothing particular, bul hi other newspa pers we read the following article All the bad news, all the reports unfavour able fur France, have their origin in Holland. It is there that disaffection and slander appear to have fixed their abode. It is there that the falsest and most unfounded details conceived by insanity rod hatred towards France find the most nume rous propagators. Good God ! must it be from Holland that belief is so lightly given to tinfavour. bible news respecting the valour and force of the French armies ? Only listen to the cerrespon. dense of a part'of those trumpeters of the English- Ministry, who have their echoes in Holland : The Duke of Dalmatia has capitulated with 4,000 Frenchmen, and the prisoners have enter. ed London. The King of Spain has left Madrid. Barcelona has Wei taken by the insurgents. The Austrians have routed and take: prisoner the Duke of Elchitigeu. On the other hand, the robber Schill has dethroned thf, King of West- Phalia. The old Elector of Heise Cassel, and the . silly Duke of Brunswick Oels,,have over.run (Gera inane' with twenty thousand ',Wen. Already the Tyrolese are at Munich. The French army is surrounded awl lost ; and the Emperor Napoleow,t i so ignorant of the art of war, at the head- of c owardly and unskilful an army, has laid down bis arms.

Affairs go on well in Catalonia, sad will go on still better through the zeal displayed by the DAV of Castiglione, who has returned to the old scene -of his glory, and who will begin with the taking of Gerona. Arragon is the most submissive pro .irinee of Spain. 44 With regard to the gran.] French army, the, Viceroy is in the heart of Hungary. " The Duke i of Mimic has his advanced posts hi Bohemia, far beyonti'Liutz, which town has been fortified by impregnable works. " General Bertrand has displayed all possible intelligence and industry upon the Danube, for the purpose of conveying over that river the terror of our foes. In it few days we shall have three bridges over the Danube ; the first f boats, the second of rafts, the third a bridge built with piles. Mon in other times would have consumed 15 months in forming a bridge with piles over the Danube ; Gen. 'Bertrand will have accomplished the work in 15 days. Trajan threw a bridge over the Danube, but no carriage could pass over it. We are told that Cesar threw a bridge over the Rhine in 10 days, but -neither could any carriage puss over it.—And what a difference between the /thine and the Danube! The bridge of pile; which we are forming over the Danube will be finished in 15 days, and the largest pieces of artillery may be carried over upon it with security. " We are sorry for the Dutch news.writers*, and the gloomy speculators of that Nation, that every thing does not go according to their wishes! IVe are sorry that Major Schill, who ought to have mounted a scaffold, should, on the 31st of May, have died at Stralsund the death of the brave! 6 6 . a n to the Duke of Brunswick, his whole force amounts only to 1200 men ; that of the old Elector of Hesse-Cassel only to 500, and already have they been checked and beaten by the brave Saxon Colonel Thielmasn." PAIII S NAT 20.—The Duke of Abrantes leaves Paris tomorrow, to take upon himself the corn. mend of the army. He will establish his head. quarters et Stratburgh. Field.Marsbal Baron Weber, who was taken prisoner by our army in the battle of Elchingen, died at Vienna an the 14th of May, of the wounds he had received. He was in the 64th year of his age. PARIS, Jumi 21.—We hasp letters,from Rome, dated June 11, according to which the King of Naples, who had assumed the cowhand oC the troops in the late Papal States, was soon expected In that town. The 5 per cent. Consols 82 franks $ centimes. Mortice, JUNE 10.—We learn from Vienna that the Emperor has completed the works on the bridges, and bridge-heads. It is thought, there fore, that further operations will be soon under.l taken. Toe light corps of the Duke of Auerstadt now forms the right wing of the Grand Army, and maintains a communication with the Army of Italy, a division of which has entered Hungary. The corps of the Doke of HATA retains possession of all the islands in the Danube. The corps of Ge neral Oudinot, and th e cavalry under the com maud of the Duke of Istria, will scarcely wait Kir the signal to advance to the combat. They form the centre of the army. The corps of the Prince of Ponte Corvo forms the left wing. The whole of Styria is conquered by the French. General Macdonald is preparing to advance into Hungary. General Marmont is advancing in order to join with General Macdo. nald. It is believed that he will penetrate into the south of Hungary. DRESDEN, June 15.—0 n the 11th, between five and nine in the evening, an Austrian corps, under the command of General Ameade, quite unexpectedly entered this town. It consisted of 12,000 men (at least provisions were immediately ordered for that number), with 11 pieces of can. nun, and advanced unobserved by the way of Deppoldiswelde, through long nntroddeo moun. !sin paths. Col. Kielman, Adjutant to the King of Saxony, who had 3,000 men under his command ) being all the disposable troops left here, had marched to reconnoitre thaeneoty, upon learning that the Austrians had shown themselves upon the iron. tiers; but deceived by a treacherous spy, who re- presented the enemy as scarce 600 strong, he advanced ton far, and found himself suddenly surrounded by an hostile foe= three times greater than that be commanded, and an action took place at the Freyleng barrier. The Saxon corps, which had 16 pieces of cannon, &treated to the neighbourhood of Welsdroof, and took posses. sion of a small wood, where it continued to defeud itself for two days. At last Col. Kielman escaped from the danger with 100 cavalry, and brought the melancholy news to Leipaic, where the Court hitherto was. Thither also the advanced guard of the Austrians immediately marched, and, in the evening, the greater part of their corps followed, the regiment of Erbach only remaining here, which !forms our garrison. The Austrians have entered this city in perfect tranquillity. The Royal Tres sury is ordered to be delivered up to the Austrian lutendaut of Beynesrick. Leipic, Meissen, &c. are also occupied by Austrian troops.

The will of the &lessen of heroes unites yeti wilt the greatest of empires. It was just that the first people N the world should divide the advantage and benefits of their laws, and the honour of their name, with that people that fhnnerly preceded them in the ath of glory. When year forefathers conquered the world, is such were the decrees of their power, and the effects of their military superiority. The desire of promoting your happiness has suggested the de cree for your union. The moment that has been adapted to carry the same into effect, discovers to you the motives that have suggested it. You are become a part of the Freocb empire at the moment that the sacrifices which were required to establish and confirm it are no longer necessary. You are called to the triumph, without having participated in its therm ' Payee the annals of your country. You will find that they have long presented only a picture of year misfortunes. Year whim! weakness renders you the prey of ever/ mili tary force that may crow the Alps. But, united with France, our strewth is aho yours. Ail the evils which sprung from year weakness are terminated. " Unhappy as a Nation, you were not less so as Citizens. The disease and wretchedness which prevail in your towns and plains have long since announced to all Europe, as well as yourselves, that your Princes, toe much engaged in other cases, were tumble to procure for you the happiness which you are now about to attain. • " Roams! Not conquered, hut united; fellow-citimes, and nut subjects, our strength is not only yours, but oar laws will secure your traramillits, as they have already secured ours; while by this union all the advantages will be added, which they have conferred, you will have lust nooe of those which yea have already possessed. " Rome continues to be the seat of the visible head of the Church; and the richly-endowed Vatican, freed from all fey reign influence, and raised uhove all vain terrestrial cares,, shall be to the universe the parent and most conipleuous re ligion. Other parsnips shall preserve to your annals the in heritance of soar ancient fame; and the Sciences, the pro. gene of Omits., patronised by a great man, and enriched by all the ancient examples and models, shall no longer depend for the support of their godlike reputation on the 'abeam of firmer times. " Such, Romans, is the prospect wh'eh is ovird to you for tie future, and of which the Consult& that hassled been made public is to lay the foundation. " To secure your public debt, to improve vosr agriculture and arts, In every respect, to ameliorate your condition, an I finally to sappers those tears fur the future a hirh the preva lence of abuses has so often caused to flow, these are the com mands, this is the object of our illustrious Sovereign.
