~- IL FOREIGN INTELLIGINCE. .113 N PROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. PARIS, NOV. 23. We are still without any intelligence from the Grand Army, since the Bulletin, from Nloelk, of the 19th Brumaire (10th Islncember). We can not attribute this delay, in the subsequent Bulle tins, to any thing else than the rapid succession of the important events, which the march of the army to the capital of Austria must have produced. In the mean time, the intelligence from the Grand Army has IsPen anticipated by that of the Army of 'ltaly, received, yesterday, to the tad Brumaire, or 13th November. A trosh Bullaia of the last army, brought with extraot dinary rapidity to this capi- from almti.t the very extvemity of the former Venetian Continent, announces the continuance 14 the •ery impoita:;t advantages gained by Marshal . . I% as over the Archduke Charles. The march of th! Marshal, from the Brenta to the Piave, was only ohstrueted fur a short time ; and even th• FAssage of this last river was effed .d very eaily, It was tae same with the further march of the French army to the hanks of the river 'fagliAmento, hAind which only Prince Charles at tempted to Make serious resistance- There was here, on the 12th Nfwembet, a sharp aftion between both parties, and a brisk cannonade (rum one hank to the other. The taw of batale, however, declar ed thi, tint once more a,;aii.a the Austrian Army, which, in the right, retreated from the to Palma NUCIVA. "the French troops w-re, thtre fore, enabled to pass that river cn the next day (the pastage of which they had prepated to force), and to continue to match in pursua. of the enemy.

The di vision of chasseurs co:n•ninded by Geri. I.Vhispagne, that of dragoons and cuirasseurs, under the orders of Generals Mermet and Valle, were posted on the river ; whila tic divisions of Du' 'sme and s'l - 41 rom.,!tpd h r St. Vito ; and those of Generals tor and Gaidatine, took the direlion of Vaivasone. General ll'Espagne had received orders to push forward his patroes. On the 12th Novem'•er, a squadron, which he h.sd ordered to cross the river, was charged by a regiment of A istrian cavalry ; it ►ravely supported the attack, and gave tins. to General D'Espagne to advance upon the enemy, who were soon repulsed, and obliged to fly. Our artillery, nevertheless, took its position ; the can nonade Iran from both sides of the river ; it was very brisk, and ennttini- 1 luring, the whole day. The enemy had pl iced thirty pie-es of cannon be hind a bank ; we had otily eighteen ; anal nor a•til lery preserved their usual superiority. The divisions of infantry arrived in the evening. The Corn mard;r-in-Chief, satisfied with the advantage.; he Lad obtained, and which secured to him others, did not think prop•r to eff:ft the passage of the river. He contented himself with making his dispositions for the next day, convinced that he could then achieve something more derisive. 'Par divisions took their appointed positions at Vito id Valvasone; It was at those two poin•. that they were to pass the River, turn and c.at off the enemy. Prince Charles, no doubt, was apor,:hensive of this intention; he did not think pear , sr to remain that day in his posi tion, and a; midnight he began to retreat by the road to Palma Nuova. The Army passed the T,tg:i.tmento with r•grer, that there cs as nn enemy to engage ; and it was ... then that it became better acciaainted with :he result ,ief the preceding day. The left bank of the rig .r was covered with men and horses, which were de c.royed by the ciea of uur artillery.

The 22J and 1 tith re giments of ehasseurs, and their Colonels Latour- Maubnurg, and Ditrosnel, shewed the gr.atest in trepidity. Flahault, aid-de-camp to Prince Murat, was wounded in the arm. 4.

Sixteen of the ships most damaged in the glo- I riot's battle of Trafalgar have left Gibraltar for England. We mentioned yesterday the atrival of three of them, viz. Cauisisr,Tcneraire at Portsmouth, on Saturday. Three more, viz. the Defence, Defiance, and Rewire, arrived at the same place, on Sluday. The 121 , a1 Snerrign and Le clarhein, two more, have reached Plymouth It is supposed, that the rest of the ships h tying kept the course steered by the t.ermllar, encountered the same adverse winds, which she experienced. The six veswls arrived at Portsmouth had a very quick pas sage. The Vi,tery and liellers4, it is said, were off Plymouth. on Friday night. The els , raire left Sir dorm DUCKWOR t n block ading Ca tilt with six sail of the line (all perfeft ships) on the 19:11.

Lord Cot. ttri .WOOD was at Gibraltar, on the I (ith November, in good health, and making the requi site arrangements for the distribution of the tiny powerful force with which he has been entrusted.

The V let de Pais carried the red flag at the main, in pursuance of the new regu- lation in the navy. the 10 ships which escaped into Cadiz, 6 are iara. pable of repair. 'll,e greatest animosity is 140 to prevail between the French and Spanish sailors. We stated, ye:terday, our doubts respelling the au. thentirity of the alleged letter from Ad K -.lltlttlt itrumpcwg the death of the Archduke ( - RA ;Ars, and a separa:e peace between Austria And Fre-ce.

The P.. 1,4 Papers 4 tie: 17th, which first mentioned tlie d. of the Archduke Cu A ftl. ES. doubted the intelligence, end had it hel' loutish:a in Na, Mast have been an'te to ascertain it before the 24th. The extraordisaty Courier, who is said to hxve brought the news to Admi r al la estnier, at the Texel, on the 2501, must have passed through the Hogue, on the 21. h ; wed though he might not Lave been charged to cumniu nicate the news to the Dutch Government, at that place, front the contenipt in which they ate held by 210 NAP AIM., it is strange that disp itches of such importance should not have transpired in up to ate 29th. We think that these circumstances amount to almost conclusive evidence to chew that AdmiralKtaxsteet's 1 tier is an on, udent impos ture ; or, at best, an exageeration of the repurt of the death of the Archduke CH &ELI'S, as it appear ed in the Pat is Papers of the 17th. Thu lat ter case is the more probauie, as the words in which the death is announced in the letter, are the same as those used in the Patti pipe s. The Paris papers contain the sixth Bulletin of the Army of Italy.
