The Austrians have lost SO pieces of cannon between Naremberg and Eschenau. Prince Ferdinand had ordered at Erlangen six thousand rations of bread, for which h e paid, but he was so cl isely pressed by the Fiends, that he had time to carry away no more than one halt the quantity.

When !Marshal Massena bad received intelligence of the viclories obtained by the French Army in Germany, he deemed it expedient to put the troops under his command in motion, and to pass the Etsch. The Arcadukc Charles ordered his troops from a part of the Venetian territory, to reinforce his army on the banks of die Tagliamento. A considerable corps of Asptrian troops, which lay before Ligniano, retired from thence in the night of the 14th. Be fore the retreat took place, the Archduke Charles causca all the young theu to be seiscd s who fled to V the othaistotoorthe &fel), to avoid the otirtary eon- scription, whom he sent to the army on the Danube. The Archduke has ordered a general conscription. Marshal Musena passed the Etsch wits two disi- sions of his army: this occurred in the greatest ur- der and regularity, and was performed in less than three-quarters of An hour. The issue of these ma nceuvres was, the nuking of 709 Austrian prisoners, with four pieces of cannon and twelve caissons. When this intelligence was dispatched, the Marshal was about to attack the Austrisns ; and it cannot be long before they will be obliged to quit their en treucliments in the neighbourhood of this city.

At a late hour last night, we received, iv m eans, Path papers to the sd, and Dutch Papers to the 7th instant. The Aloniteur of the 2.1, contains the Twelfth Bulletin of the Grand Army. It is dated Oitober 27. The title taught us to cape& some account of military operations. We find in it no charatier or feature of that kind. Prayers. ma sic, and theatricals, usurp the place of sieges and battles. Never was such a farrago of trumpery served up to a great nation in such a shape. One would suppose. that B had heard of the destrisZtion of his ships, colonies. and commerce, at Trefalgar, and that the dreadful sews had over. rrhelssithis iiasoa. Oar readers will 'reeolleift. that it was supposed he would reach the Inn about the 26th. It affords no not a little satisfitaion to find, that a Russian division had arrived at Passau so early as the 16th ; and that the Head-quarters of General Kutusow were at Brannan about the same period. Those, therefore, who were alarmed lest BONAPARTI, having put the army of Prince Foe nimann aside, had only to march on to Vienna, may now dismiss their fears. Indeed, the perusal of the Twelfth Bulletin must shew, that BONAPARTE was afraid to pass Munich. The Eleventh Bul letin announced his arrival in that city on the 24th ; and the Twelfth Bulletin left him there on the 27th, without having achieved, in the interval, any thing which even French gasconade could mag nify into any importance. The Meoiteur also con tains a letter from Massimo, giving an account of a battle between him and the Archduke CHAILLIES, at Verona. It took place ea the tlith Ottober, and was fought with great obstinacy upon both sides, from four in the morning until six in the abernooo. The Austrians, we are assured, were driven, at the close of the day, from all their posi tions, 'frith the loss of 1,200 killed, 1.400 pri -oilers, and seven pieces of cannon. In this ob stinate engagement, which continued fourteen hours, we are told the French had only a few killed, and three hundred wounded ; but most of them very slightly. The French Am , bassador was to leave Vienna on the lid). The Bavarian and Batavia % Ministers were to talcs their departure horn that city about the same time. The French and Dutch Papers coutain some other article of importance, but the lateness of the hour, and the length of our extraffs, do not allow us to indu!ge in farther observations upon them. The CISCII, Sir RICH aII D STRACH Ald ; the Covr ragegx, Captain Las ; the Hero, the Hounnralde Captain Gaisov ea ; the Rroo/utrvaireire, Captain HOT ss, and the Santis Margivlllit, Capt. W. RATU3O2Nt. arrived on Sunday at Plymouth, with their four prizes. Upwards of 30,000 people as trembled to witness this glorious sight. Tw.) of the prizes were dismasted, hot not much injured in their hulls. It is said, but we knew not upon what au thority, that the French squadron had received orders from Admiral Vii.t.cistuvr, to keep out of attion, unless the combined fleets should prove victorious, and that they were not to chase or t 3 bring any English ship to action, but to make the best of their way to Rochefort or Ferrol. They are MOJA& be treasure ships, having on board nearly two millions of money, for the pu• pose of paying the officers, sailors, Szz. (kr )I;:vit the fleets of France p- Spain. Tie Gazette of Last night con tains an account of the killed and woun.! i. As we stated in a former Paper, our loss was com paratively small-24 killed, and t 1 l wounded. A letter from Cork, dated Nov. 6, says : Arrived L'affrinataa frigate, with 22 sail of vessels under c‘m toy, from the Leeward Islands. They were put un der quarantine. It is reported, that four or tire vessels of this fleet are lost; among them, the V‘erory, Capt. Av REA, from Barbadoes to this port. The temaiader of the Beet parted about 14 days since in a gale of wind. Yesterday, the Doke of Cestatat rio, Earl Citargasi, Lord CASTLICIIIIIIOI4, and Mr. PITT, had a lonsidtation with the Duke of YORK, at his Office.

Lord NELSON, in his last will, expressed a desire that his body should he interred by the side of his reverend father, at Burnham Thorpe, siaterr Hi, MAJESTY eberld be graciouslyleated to direct other wise. His Manse v, we un derstand, has ordered that his remains shall be buried in St. Paul's. Admiral, late Captain Eclat' Hativev, of the Teirteraire, who is said to have fought, mad took a French and a Spanish ship of the line, in the late glorious action off Trefalgar, is M. P. fur Essex. We have been favoured with a Bereasfries Gazette of the 21st of September, from which we are sorry to find, that an iosurreition had broken out in the Surinam Colony Corps of Black Yagers. They are said to have murdered some of their Officers in a shocking manner. Apprehensions are entertained of the Insurgents joining the Bush Negroes. De tachments have been sent against them, and General Hooves was about to go in person. We understand that it is the intention of Go vernment to bestow a medal oa every individual present in the glorious and ever-memorable action of the 21st of October ; which mark of distinction is to be of the same value, quality, and appearance, to every man ; for, as the same gallantry marked the conduct of the lowest seaman (ride Admiral Cot.i.imowooo's Dispatch}, so the rewards, in this instance, are to be equal.—This badge is to be 4eredi tar', as a memento to after-ages of the most signal viaory ever achieved by British arms, and the greatest the world ever witnessed. We understand the Medal is to be thus stamped: Oa one side Lord NaLsom's Head, with the day on which the anion was fought: on the reverse, the man's name and rank who obtained it, with his Lordship's Motto of qua introit, feral.
