The army ander Marshal Bernadotte advanced from Munich on the 2iith, and arrived the neat day at Wasterburgh, on the Inn, and proceeded to Al. tenmarkt, where it halted that highs. Six arches • of the bridge had been burned down. Count Ma d& "nucci, Colonel of the Bavarian armi, idvanted 1 5. t from Roth to Rosenbeim. He also found' the Oltbridge burned. and the enemy on the other side. ;:likar a brisk eAmtnnade, the enemy retired from the tight hank; several battalions of French and Bavarians passed the Inn, and, our the 2Sth, at noon, both the bridges were completely repaired. Colonel, Mori, and Souris, ut the Engiurers, were indefati gable in their exertions to re-establish the bridges. The enemy were hotly pursued as soon as the troops pass over ; fifty of their rear-guard were tale!' Ito i inners. Marshal Daroust, with the army under his com mand, set nut from Freysing on the 26th, and readi ed Mobleierrif on the S7rh. The enemy defended the right bank of the river, where the had some batteries advantageously plaeed. The bridge bad F ~ been so much destroyed, that it was with tbffic i ulry .• : . repaired. On the lath , atesoon, a contidri.tbleipart • of Marshal Davoust's division had paised over..

S. VIENNA, oc.r. 20. Yesterday our Cnutt received intelligence from our Grand Army in Suahia, under the command id the Archduke Ferdinand, of a disagreeable nature, contrary to ezpea ition. This intelligence was brought over by Mayer Flachenberg, belonging to the general staff of the army, and made public most expeditiously, last night, in a Court Gazette Extraordivary, as follows ; viz. didiln if Cantz'Syryh, the 914 of October, 611-,:ern The Imp eta and Royal Army, and the 6th Fren(h Arno, soNder the eolsociaJ of Marsha!

" On the Sth of OEtober, a division of the Im perial and Royal Army advanced from Ulm to Guntzburgh, to assemble in that quarter the regi were still absent, and arriving from conments ; and, afterwards, it circum- be favourable, to proceed again to bank of the Danube, and march against ' they should attempt to pass that ri . 9th, the army encamped near Guntr leaning its right upon the village of Sim. left upon Reisersburgh. The bridges mbe were occupied as far as Leipheim ; General D'Aspics was pasta also 1 the left bank of the Danube, with a corps of light troops, to send out some picquets, and to get intelligence relative to the enemy. No sooner was the camp of Gunithergh formed, but the corps under General l)'Aspres was compelled to retreat to the other side of the Danube, with some loss, and the said General himself became missing on the occasion. Thereupon the enemy, under the command of Marshal Nev, advanced with a con siderable force, to the bridges of the Danube, at tempted to puss over them, and to drive our troops from the hank. 1):Irmg the whole afternoon, their exertions were fruitless ; but, towards the evening, a strong column if the enemy succeeded in over powering the !ridge of the highway near Cuntz burgh, and e,i:er^d that town.

During the absence of the COALS' ANDLIS.IN.• CHIEF in Ireland, the principal command of the army is entrusted to Generals MANLY and FL° y 9. One of the MASSY family, it is said, will offer himself as a candidate to represent the county of Limerick at the next elation. We understand that letters of the 9th inst. have been received from Holland, which mention, in the most positive manner, that Du Roc, the French Minister. had left the Court of Berlin ; and that the first division (amounting to 25,000 men), of a large Prussian army, was on its march to Holland. On the 29th last, the General Officers who com mand the troops of reserve, at Boulogne, encamp. ed on our coast, celebrated, by a solemn festival, the v i ctories of the Grand Army, and the success of the Emperor.

Application has been made to the Corporation of Norwich, for permission to engrave a whole-length portrait of the Immortal NELSON, from the excellent pifture which, happily, it is their (almost enviable) lot to be in possession of, painted by fir Wm' to Bete IiEY ; being, it is believed, the last portrait he ever sat for ; and there is no doubt but those gen tlemen, in whose power it rests, will give every en couragement to the laudable design of transmitting to posterity the resemblance of the greatest naval here this co'sntry ever gave birth to ! The red (not the b/u.ibiosg) ribbon of the illustrious NELSON, cannot, we think, be better bestowed than on the brave and enterprising Sea acita sr, whose brilliant viftory was a charaaeristic supplement to the glorious achievements off Trefalgar. The vianrious Cot. LING wboo has already been honour ed with a Peerage ; and, doubtlessly, will expe rience the munificence of Parliament, in an adequate pension fur the support of its dignity. Orders have been issued by the General com manding the Plymouth distrift, that when the Fury taus MTV/es with the body of our dear departed N cisme, the whole garrison shall turn out and re ceive it—the streets are to be lined with troops, arms reversed, drums mused, and the colours hung with crape—the hells of the churches to he mused also. An idea has been long entertained, that the Red Flag had been taken or stolen from the mast of the Admiral's ship, and that the Dutch obtained that trophy in the Downs, in one of the battles between SLAKE and VAN TKOSIP. To correa such mistaken and vulgar notions, our readers will understand that the Red Flag has never been taken or surrendered to the enemy. The last Officer that wore such flag was Sir GIORGI. ROOKS, when he was Admiral of the Fleet, and Commander in Chief of the Combined Force of England and Holland, in the Mediterranean, in 1703. Upon the union of England with Scotland, the Red Flag was discontinued to be worn, and the Union Jack became the distinguishing flag of the Admiral of the fleet : thus the Red Flag at the main was superseded by the use of the Union Jack in its stead. A envious proceeding uniformly takes place on the first day of the Session of Parliament. A Com mittee of both Houses, headed by the Great Cham berlain, search and explore the vaults and cellars under the houses, previous to the coming of His MAJSSTY, in order to be certain they do not con tain any inflammable or combustible matter. It is called Gay faax's Committee, and the historical circumstance which gave rise to the proceeding is well known ; but, with an unaccountable degree of inconsistency, a similar search is net snide on the /ad day of the Session.

At this price, the profit to Government will be no less a sum than 2J3,7531. which added to 178,0(101. the profit of the first Lottery of this year, make a total of 381,7531. Taking the profit ;of the third Lottery at an average sum with the two former, it will easily be seen that the produce of the Lottery, under the uld mode of disposing of them, is nearly tripled by the operations of the new system. We have received Paris Papers to the t;th, and Dutch to the 10th instant. The principal article of their contents is the Thirtrenth Buaelia of the Grand Army, announcing the passage of the Inn, by the French, at several points, on the 2dth last. The Bulletin does not inform us where the com bined Austrians and Russians are ; we suppose they have retired to the Ens, with the intention of cover ing Vienna. An article from Frankfort asserts, that General ICcrusow had retreated to Wels, to wait for the reinforcements coming up to join him. —lt was reported at the Hague, on Thursday last, on the authority of dispatches, said to have been received by the FRENCH AMBASSADOR, that a general aaion had been fought on the Inn, in which Marshal BERNADOTTE defeated the Russians, and took fifteen thousand of them prisoners, independ ently of the killed and wounded. To this intelligence we do not attach any credit. The Russians were not on the lan—at least, when the French crossed that river, there was but a very small Austrian and Russian force on the right bank, and their own Bulletin merely states, that they took SO of the Austrian rear-guard prisoners. Whilst these operations have taken place in Ger many, M AMP/A has been endeavouring to force the Archduke CHARLES to retire from the vicinity of the Adige, hut without much success. His letter to the War Minister, which we stated yesterday, merely relates to the facsage of the Adige, on the I Bth last On that day he only obtainedpossession of the Bridge, after a most obstinate battle. On the 29th, eleven I days after, we find the French had nut advanced five miles further. Letters of the 9tb, from Iloiland, mention the , i
