The advanced guard, under the com mend of General Espagne, has driven the enemy to hear:, and in several vigorous charges has taken about lon prisoners. All their cavalry have taken the great road. A considerable part of their in t :ntry proceeds through the valley of Idria to gain :'art of Oberleybach. Five companies of light horse ' , nestle them in that direCtion, while our advanced posts reconnoitre as far as the intrenchmeots of Per •ald, and direft themselves towards Leybach. On the approach of the division of Seras to Trieste, the Austrians evacuated that place, where they left three hundred wounded. A corps pursued them - - on the road to Le)bacb, and took fifty men. Two regiments of dragoons. supported by the infantry, advanced by our lest on the Chittsa de Pletz, which was guarded by the two regiments of infantry, Stra sold° and Deligne, with some cavalry. All the pests were abandoned en the arrival of our troupe. The General of Brigade, Lacour, who eommar.ded them, received orders to penetrate to Villad), and to try to open a communication with the Grans! Army, the movements of which had doubtless oc cacioned the retreat of the enemy, who appeared afraid of being surrounded. A detachment was also sent agaiust Pi,nteba-Veneta, where the enemy, who were in force, did not venture to wak for us. In these different movements, we have made about 400 prisoners.

" Head-quartets at Gotisia. Nu 4 " The General-in-Chief had been infornstit several reports, and particularly by a letter from Goir; neral Vial, the Ambassador of His Imperial M4' jesty at Berne, that a corps of the Austrian army,4 which was cot off in consequence of the manoeuvres of the grand army, intended to descend by the Ty. rolean mountains of Italy. He calculated that this column would endeavour either to cross the line llf the army, to unite itself with the troops in the V 4 l netian territory, or to operate, by the way of Fehr* and Belluno, a junaion with the wreck of Prince Charles's army at Leybach. But whatever direaion the enemy might take, the situation of the army at Isonzo was such, that a sufficient force could be detached to intercept them. The advanced guard, tion. The General-in-Chief, who had foreseen every thing, remained, en his part, perfealy tran quil; but that nothing might be left to the chance of events, he took measures for bringing up, by forced marches on the Piave, the division of grena diers commanded by Gen. Partouneauz, and other corps. The grenadiers were directed to ascend the Piave by II Bosco del Mantello, and to turn the po sition of Bassano. The division of Gardanne, which was diretled at the same time to Venzone, was des tined to reinforce the detachments sent to the two Puntebas, and to cut off all retreat from the enemy. The General•in-Ctiief left the rest of the troops on Luna°, under the command of General Dubesme, and proceeded himself to the Piave to superintend the movements he had directed. General St. Cyr znaneesstred to recnnotitre the enemy, and to stop him. General Reyniei ,at Na vale. had orders to march on the `2irl•, at day-break, to Castle Franco. The enemy anis cd the evening. and, sensible of the difficulty of his position, antici pated the attack. He feu violently on Regnicr's which received hint with the greatest viper, and soon repulsed him. The enersy. however, re. turned several times to the charge, but were always received with the same firmness Meanwhile General St. Cyr made a movement with the Polish regiment, and turned the enemy. The route was then coon. pieced all the way to Castel Franco, where uer troops arrive.' as soon as the Austrians. All who were not killed or taken on the field of battle asked to capitulate. Six thousand infantry, and one hundred cavalry. remained in our power. This number was greater than we opposed to them effeaive combat ; but they saw, from the disposi tions which were made, that their destruAiou was inevitable. 'the Prince de Rohan, several Colonels, and a number of Officers, are among the prisoners. Six standards, twelve pieces of cannon, and im mense baggage, are also the result of this vi&ury. We have only to regret the loss of one hundred killed and wounded, and we have recovered the pri. corers taken front us at Bassano. A corps of Croats, which, it is supposed, formed part of the column, is expelled to be found in the defiles of the moun tains. It is not likely that it can escape us. The advanced guard makes each day new prisoners. The roads from Idea to Leybach an covered with horses, waggons, and thousands of bullets." The Abaitese of the 3d contains a letter of the General of Division Lecchi, from the head-quarters at Legnaro, dated Nov. 2S—" I hasten to inform your Excellency, that a corps of enemy's troupe Ms made its appearance near Bassano, under the ennia mand of P.ince Hoban. The General in Chief bas departed from Sire, with the Reserve. consisting of a corps of Poles, commanded by General Peyri, a regiment of French cavall y, a battalion of French Infantry, commanded by General Regnier, and with four pieces of cannon. escorted by a regiment of halia:t infantry, commanded by Colonel •• General Regnier proceeded from his canton ments to Piombino, where he cut off the Austrians. who strove to save themselves on the side of Venice. Yesterday, at break of day, he was attacked, and, notwithstanding an obstinate resistance, obliged three times to give way. 'lhe Polish infantry, with the Genera'-iit-Chief, was already before that time on the road to Castel Franco. who, when half way, perceiving that the corps of General Regnier was giving way, gave Colonel Grabinsky orders to at tack the enemy in the tide, who immediately exe cuted this order with the greatest bravery, and com pelled Ole enemy to throw himself into Castel France, with the loss of 15u prisoners, two pieces of cannon, and one howitzer.

THURS; DON, • ' , AY, Demists 19 We this day resume our extrads from the French Papers to the 7th, part of the contents of wlrch we gave yesterday. The Bth and 9th Bulletins of the army of Italy encourage sanguine hopes of the ultimate success of the Archduke Cu sects. We lately expressed an opinion, that MAiGENA would not be able to pursue him with a force compe tent to arrest his progress, and now find that opinion well founded. The ninth Bulletin, is dated the QUO of November, at Gorizia, the very place whets had his head- u steers on the 17th. Here, then, was an interval of nine days, during which the French had not advanced one inch in their palesuit, and the Archduke CH Al (.1.1 WAS left to puroie h s course without any interruption, but what he might ex e crience from some obstacle in his front._. On that side, we believe, he had nothing to fear but the division of MARMON?, which ruin not be in sum .lent strength to oppose an et teaual resistance. As the ARCM:IOKM was at Laybach on the 17th, he could not, nil:es' he met with a check, be far from Vienna on the V, the day of the battle of Wischan. Upon tl'e mark& of that interesting event, we have nothing new to add. A report prevailed yesterday, that at was followed by another. on the 4th, equally des perate and bloody, in which the Allies succeeded, and forced the French to retreat to Vienna. 'this report rests upon the authority of a letter from Yarmouth, but is not, we believe, entitled to much credit. As the battle of the ?„1 was not decisive. we may, however. presume, with confidence, that another fisiluwesi at no great distance of time. Sir •IoM4 BORLAIE WARRIN is to have a eying squadron of five sail of the line, and three frigates, on the We.tern Station.

By accounts from our army on the Continent, we are informed, that Lieutenant-General Dots re mained at Virden on the Bth inst. which place is the head-quarters of the British Army. The Guards are quartered in the environs of Bremen. The Russians have left Verden. in order to march to Hameln, which fortress is to ►e immediately block aded by them and the German Legion, under the command of Brigadier-General Diezers. The brig Pefre, a transport from the Downs, for the Elbe, with troops on board, went on shore, on Kessingland Beach, near Yarmouth, on Tuesday ; the troops were landed in safety.

WORTH, was blockading Cadiz. The Nook passed in sight of Sir June's squadron off Cadiz. We are assured that a French Squadron got oat of L'Ortent about the beginning of this month, and that Ministers have received certain informatics' of the cot. Letters from Vienna, of the 24th November, state that reports of an inserredion in Poland gain ground daily. In the villages of that country. writings, in the native language of the people, are circulating, stimulating the Poles to embrace this oppootanity to regain their independence by choose ing a king according to their wish. It is said, that several Polish Officers, and among whom is Gene ral Kosctusce, have repaired to the French head quarters. On Monday. a Court-Martial was held at Ports mouth, on board the titadintor, on Mr. RocounaN, purser of the late sloop Mewed Rork, for fraudu lently assisting Lieut.
