FROM the FRENCH and DUTCH PAP.ERS. Piutts, Nov. 21,---We:are still without any in tellig,ence from the, Grand Army since the Bulle tin from Moelk, of the 1 gth Brumaire• ( loth No vember). We cannot attribute this delay, in the subsequent Bulletins, to any thing else than the rapid succession of the important events which the march pf the Army to the Capital of Austria mu,t have produced. In the mean time, the in telligence ?from the Grand Army has been antici pated by that• of the Army of Italy, received yes terday, to the 22d Brumaire, or 13th November.— , A fresh Bulletin of the last Army, brought with extraordinary, 'rapidity to this capital, from almost the very extremity of the former Venetian' Coutinent, announces, the continuance of the very important advantages gained by Marshal .I.II4ssENA over the chdui,e CHARLES. The march of the Marshal from ;he Brenta to the Piave was only obstru&ed ti)r a stmrt time ; and even the passage of this last ri..er was effe6ted very easily. It was the same with further march of the French Army to the Bani-,s of the River Tagiiamento, behind which only Prince CHARLES attempted to make serious re sistanCe. There was here, on the 12th of Novem ber, a'' sharp a6lion between both parties, and a brisk cannonade from one bank to the other. The fate of battle, however, declared this time once tuarc , aga \ inst the Austrian Army, "which, in the • night, ,retnated from the Tagliamento to Palina ThQ French Troop s we r e , therefore, en abled to pass that river on , the next clay (the passage of . NOI hey had prepared to force), 'and to con trtue to march in pursuit of the Enemy. The fol hiwing is the official account of these events : SIXTH BULLETIN or Trio ARMY Or ITALY. rlt the 14.1 d. egarieri at Pauer!aro, 2ad Brumaire, Year, )4, (isv,' 13, ac 5), " The Army on its march towards the Piave met with or.ly slight opposition ; from the Piave to the Tagliamento, they perceived, dying he.)re them, some Corps of Cavalry, which appeared to observe them, but,vvho retreated in such a manner as to avoid all salon. It was at the Tagliamento that the Enemy appeared in- (lined to wait for us. They had assembled on the left bark six Regiments of cavalry and four Regiments of Infantry; and their firm Front led us to suppose that they were deter mined , to of dispute the passage of the River witb us. • The Commander in Chief at first only intended tq re. connoitio their position with the Cavalry. The Division of Chasseurs commanded by General D'Esrtio'Nz, that of Drakoons and Cliasseurs under the orders of Generalsll4sa. 'Art and Pu were posted on the river;' while the Divi. signs of Donss tat and Sim as marched by St. Vito ; and thoseof Generals MOLITOR. andGA . ItDANNI took the di union of Valvasiie. General D'EsPit cut had received orders to push forward his patroles, 4 . the 14th N9rembeta squadron which he had ordered to cross the River was. charged by a Regiment of Austrian Cavalry ; it bravely supported the attack, and gave time to General JP EbNAGNE to advance upon the Enemy, who were soon repulsed, and obliged to fly. Our Artillery, neverthe. less, took its position ; the cannonade began from both sides the River; it, was very brisk, Ind continued during the whole day. The Enemy had placed thirty pieces of Cannon behind a bank ; we had onfy eighteen ; and our Artillery preserved thetr uw4l superiority. Tin: uivisicnsoflnfantryarrivedin ths awning. • • " 'Flu! Commander in Chief, satisfied with the advantages he had obtained, and which secured to him others, did not tliinh proper to cilia the passage of the river. H e c ontente d 'himself with niaking his slispositions for the next day, con vinced that he could then achieve something more decisive. The Divisions..toOk their appointed positions at St. Vito and vaone ; it was at those two points that they were to pass the river, turn and cut off the g.nemy. Prince CnAaLts, ri,) doubt, was apprehensive .of this intention ; he did not think proper to remain'that day in his position, and at aid. night he began to retreat by . the road to Paltna.Nuova. " The Army passed the TagliamentO with the regret that t here.wasno' Enemy ro engage; and it was then that it b".. tone better agcoaioted With the . result of the preceding clay, The left bank of the river was covered with men and horses, which werdilestroyed by the offal of our artillery. is".l'l'►e Army continues its march ; the hope of meeting and etv;,:lging the Eneitry increases their impatient ardour.- They are acqualqicd with all that has been done by the C rand Arnly ; and the desire to second its movement, and to meet the confidence of the Emperor, agitates and -continually struts them on.

WE yesterday stated, at some length, the reasons which induced us to entertain strong doubts of the authenticity of the Letter 'ascribed to Admiral Kix nEwr. in the course of the afternoon the arrivaj of French and Dutch .Papers,, the forrner to the 25a1 and the latter to the ;30th ult. convinced' us that our ' doubts 'Were well founded. There can be no doubt but that if a Peace between. Austria and France had been concluded titua enough for the intelligence to have reached the Texcl' by the 23th ult. it must have been known in Paris by the 24th, and yet the Moniteur of that day is fierfeetly silent upon the subject. 13tzt what is still stronger, the Ea. taviarz State Gazette of the 27tii, and the un official Dutch Papers of the 2gth, take no notice . of any such important event havidg taken place. We are therefore justified in concluding either that the . Letter ascribed to Admiral KikttenT is a forgery, or that he was made the instrument ofeonveyingto us false intelligence,' though it is `not very easy to discover the purpose, for which it was intended. We are inclined to adopt the'former opinion. Ad miral KIIpiERT has'hitherto maintained an hollow-- able charaktery and though he may be under the tic .cessity of fighting for the oppressors Of his Country, we do not think 'be would so far degrade himself as to become a channel for the conveyance of their fidsehoods. While we r e upon this subject . we , cannot forbear making some observations upon the coital& of some of the Morning Papers upon this occasion. One of them, remarkable only for its systematic hostility to the present Adminibtratiort, eagerly seized this opportwiity of pouring - forth its spleen against Mfr. Pct r. To his Councils were attributed the defeat of the Austrian Armies, the supposed miscondpal of the Austrian Generals, all tile disasters which has befallen that Empire, and finally the disgraceful Peace'which was supposed to have been concluded. 'This day the same Paper acknewledges the falsebtxxl, of the intelligence ; but insk%id of retr ting the invedivei which were iihUlded upon it, accuses Government of having cagrly pro. pagated the particularly arid particarly diming sent it to their own Papers. if t,)y that phriVie is meant those Papers inch con t mntly exert their efforts in sup gort of the Constlythat and of the Sauer of Om 4.4 a• 31,2 4 Jt L UC CSCI. vation of the tranquillity of Europe, has this clay set out for Berlin, to concert rnea.lures with his Prus sian Majesty, respeeling the march of the B.ussian Troops through the Prussian territory, and for their future disposal. FROM THE HAMBURGIV CORRESPONDENTEN. MutsuCH, Nov. • 12.—The Austrian General, Count GIULAY, who has arrived at The Emperor's Head-quarters, was charged with a proposal for an Armistice,of fifteen days, to give time for negotia tions ; but he has returned without effeCting his ob .lea• SAXON'Y, • Nov. 17.--The Emperor NAPOLEON had declared his willingness to agree to an Armis tice for one month, upon condition of the cession of the Venetian States and the Tyrolean Territory-- but this proposal ,was , not 'accepted. The Russian Armies under Generals KUTUSOW and Buxnow- DEN have formed a junetion. BOHEMIA, Nov. 12.----Our Emperor', and the whole of the Imperial Family; will remain provisionally at Brunn, there to wait I the Emperor ALEXANDER. Vienna will very shortly surrender by , capitulation. Yesterday the French had not entered the City. A bloody affair took place on the 6th, near St. Pollen, hi which the Russians obtained. the lidory, and the Enemy lost 6,000 'men. The remains of the Coin bined Army crossed the Danube immediately after wards, where they very shortly expeded new rein forcements. MORA VIA, NOV.' In. -Lunn, instead of Olmutz, is now said to be the Royal residence. On the the Army of General Kurysow crossed the Danube, with the Austrian Corps under General Ks ENSIAYE there to wait the reinforcements approaching them with forced marches. They reached this position after the sanguinary affair near St. Polten, in which the French lost Woo men. The latter have only 0,000, men on the Left Bank of the Danube ; and they had not entered Vienna on the t lth. DaEsnsay, Nov. 1.--The thirty thousand Prus sians who are to cover the Elbe from this place to Muhlbourg, are expetted next week. They are already. at Bautzen. Their, head-quarters will be fixed at Erfurth. Sixty thousand pounds : of bread, fifteen thdusand of flesh, and fifty-two thousand cans of beer, are daily delivered to these TrooPs. That the Saxon Army will be put in motion remains no longer doubtful ; it having been supplied With artillery, horses, and drivers, t o be ready on the 12th. An hospital, &c. is . provided ; and a bridge is thrown over the Elbe, at Muhldorf.' THE LECH, NOV. 12.---This afternoon a French Courier passed through Augsburgh on his way to Paris; he left Prince MustAT's Head-quarters at Moelk three days since. Some of the French Corps which had advanced the tiirthest towards Vicuna had been ordered to slacken .their pace, as the Em peror not only wished to be joined by some other Columns of the Army then in the rear, but.because, he also expeded the arrival of some Couriers with dispatches of importance.

SOLIII4 QUIA FAL3O4 AUDSAT upon by some person transactions, or by some French fabrication. uountry, we . deny the faa. We can assert, l we believe, without the danger,of contradi&ion, that Government did , not send tine intelligence to a single Paper.--Another Morning Paper, which in general professes to support Government, also took this op portunity of evincing its real sentiments, and spoke of our Allies in language so gross and so indecent as to tender all animadversion from us at least su perfluous. Di ail .oQ The report of the death of the Archduke CHARLES rests upon the same authority as the intelligence of Austria having concluded a separate Peace, and is therefore,. we trust, equally unfounded. The accounts from the Seat. of War, with which these Papers furnish us, are, upOn the whole, highly consoiatOry. ln the a&ion of the gth, at St. Pa ten, which was very slightly alluded to in the French Bulletin,,: if appears ftom concurring accounts that the French. lost: six thousand men. The Allied Army then crossed the Danube to wait for reinforce ments, .leaving Vienna Open 'to the Enemy, to which Capital, hoWever, he: durst not advance , until, some other Columns of his , Army had come up. It is observable' that there is no Bulletin of the operations :of the French Army since . the loth ult. it is not 'therefore certainly known whether 80.- NAPAnTF: had, or had not entered Vienna.' That :st Vienna has fallen into his possession is, however, by no means improbable, a$ the, Allied 'Army appears . very wisely 'to have left the Capital to its fate until they are more strongly. reinforced. the possession of it will not be of the least advantage to BONAPARTE, unless he can gain a decisive 'victory over the Al lies. It is evident th a t th e f ar th er he advances, whilst the Allies retire unbroken before him, the greater must be the difficulties of his situation; ,nor can little short of ruin be the result of a re verse. The Allies,, by judiciously retiring and wait ing for reinforcements, might soon be enabled to ad vance with a Moral certainty of success. The skill and admirable condu& of the Arch dukeCIIARLES appears to have nearly extricated hitu from the difficulties of his situation. It is clear- 1 that he also was retiring with a n un b ro k en A rmy . MAssExA was pursuing; but, like BONAPARTE, could not gain a Vi&ory; on the contrary, he was repulsed in almost- every attack. The Sixth Bul letin of the Army of Italy admits, in language too plain to be mistaken, that he had met with a repulse.. It appears that on the 12th ult. MASSENA attempted "to effeCt the Pa4sage of the Tagliamento, but after' an ACtion ,which laitcd the greatest part of the day, the boastful IVlAssgici. is forced to confess that he did not etTeCt c his objeCt, but " was satisfied with the advanoges her bad obtained, and hoped to achieve something more decisivenext day !" If this is not a confession of having been repulsed, we know not what is.. To give up the object he aimed at, after a day's hard fighting, and rest satisfied with the advantages (trifling enough) which he had ob tained, clearly proves to our minds that he was forced to be content with his situation because he could not advance—that be was compelled to be sa tisfied with a defeat. The gallant ARCHDUKE thus retiring with an unbroken Army, will most probably be enabled effeanally to, break through the Division: of MARIVLONT and BERNADOTTE, sent to interrupt him, ,although with a force which conjointly is de cidedly inferior to that of the ARCHDUKE, those Generals will scarcely venture to attempt to intercept his march: The ARCHDUKE had reached Palma- Nuova'on the 13th ult. and was filling back, as we have'already stated, with his whole Army unbroken, Upon ilie Hereditary States of Austria. The gallant Austrian General WOLFSK.EHL, who was said, we know not why, to have capitulated, appears, on the contrary, to have fought his way, through a part of AUG2BE:kV's Army, and to have' almost uncontrouled possession of Suabia, by which, of course, the French communications must be in terrupted, or at least greatly impeded. This brave and enterprising General, was in such force, that the trench Troops 'could not prate& the Elearess of BAVARIA on her journey from Wurtzb, - :rch to Mu that Princess having been forced to take re fuge in the Margraviate of Anspach.
