LONDON, SATURDAY. JULY 8. The Twentieth French Bulletin admitted, that, ;slier the battle of Raab, the French army, under Prince EINEN E. instead of pursuing the Austrians, stopped to invest that fortress. We now find, from an Austrian Bulletin, giving an account of the bat. tle, that the French actually retreated behind the Raab ; that Dalmatia is again in possession of tlo: Austrians, together with Fiume, awl, it is sup posed, Trieste, and all the islands on the Dalma— tian coast; mud that the Austrian tannin. are again on the Banks of the AdUge, and have eitendett themselves as far as liassuato and Verona.. Austrian Bulletin, at the same tulle, cutulall? , alas, that the victory was with the French ; the Hungarian lyrics not tieing a match for vsternis troops, although they behaved with great gallantry and o;;irit.

Thu deposition of ALEXANDF.R, the. assumption of the Govertitnent by the Dowager EMpliEsilb his mother, and the massacre of Count KoMANzuW, and all the French party, are the prin cipal features of the drama. It is not true, as stated to of the papers, that Government have received accounts from Spain, that the French have evacuated all Callicia, and that Sonia and Nita', having funned a junction. had retreated into Asturias and Leon► We must, however, presume, that such is the fact ; as NEN, after being:obliged to evacuate Ferrol and Continuo, would have no inducement to rensaiii aid there was nothing to prevent his junction with the remnant of Marshal LT . & force. The late expedition, or campaign, of Sir All.• TIM K Wk; Y, against SGULT, though it has,. in some measure, disappointed the inisiguine ex pectations of those who anticipated the defeat and capture of the whole French force, yet ha* esta blished, on the firmest foundations, the supetiority of the British troops, when opposed to the boasted revolutionary armies which lime subjected Europe. This is, in feet, the fined esperienent made of the respective firmness, discipline, and tactics, of the • soldiery of Fromm and of Grent Britain, within the last tau mouths, on the Cootinenc, or Peninsula. beyond the Pyrenees. At Rolheia, cud at Viineira, ' they were defeated in the field, though command -1 ed by a General of high reputation; and, if the Convention of Claire, %Lich followed, excited, with reason, universal dissatieefaction r yet the tati rels acquired by Sir in his preceding con • filet with Jtixerr, remained altogether unwithered by the negocutiou that liberated the French from Portugal. It is difficult, too highly to admire, or to commend, the Roman constancy and intrepidi ty, which. at COTLIIIIItn *so January hat, after a re treat of above four hundred miles, amidst snows and precipices, pursued by an enemy fn• superior its forint, and• extenuated as the British troops were with fatigue--yet turned upon. the pursuers, re pulsed, and drove them back into their hues. The re-embarkation itself constitutes the most solid and incontrovertible proof of our advinitage on that oc casion. In the uourse of the recent and short ex pedition upon the Vouga and the Douro, the de. stout:bon of the enemy was eifected, in a very consi derable degree, however unaccompanied by any bnlliaut victory—a circumstance rendered• Bible by the rapid tii4h; of SOULT, who left behind him his artillery, ammunition. magazines, a great portion of his army, and, in some measure, his re putation as a military commander l We have had.opportunities of seeing, anti com paring, various letters,. dated from Braga, from Oporto, and from Rule:tins, in the Province of Toot-os-Monte,, at which last-mentioned place our pursuit ended, all cuticarrin4 iu the 1)6.'4..4,41 facts, and in the same conchisions.

Nothing could be more le rilmis. nor more difficult, than to conduct a G:1 ,1 " rd.ed, beaten. and *wiring army, amidst incessant rains, through a hostile country, destitute of roads, covered with precipices, and where scarcely any soistenance was to be procured. It is well known, that the inhabitants of that wild and mountainous region subsist, *knout wholly, on chesnuts, maim, and goats' flesh—the latter of which articles is even considered as a luxury.
