all our line. The battle lasted all day, arid'
, was very bloody. , Finally we defeated them

R.ITISBON, JULY 15.
Yesterday in a^ion took place near Land
fhut, in which the Archduke Ferdinand was
obliged to retreat. In the night he received
a' reinforcement of cavalry & infantry from
- Gen. Klenao, and marched towards Strau

The French continue to drive the Aus
trians—the former are now within a league
• ofthis city. An armistice alone cai, pre
serve us from the enemy.
MANHEIM, 'JULY 12.
Before the armistice between the armies
of Gens. Kray and Moreau could be made
known, the following tellegraphic dispatch
was forwarded from Bafle, on the 16th, from
Strafburg to Paris :
" The right wing of the French army
has taken Feldkirch, Coire, Lucienileig,
and the whole of the Grifons."
Before the conclusion of4 he armistice, di
visions of the French likewise advanced t>n
the 14th to Weinfberg, Heilbroh and other
places on the Neckar. The Courier who
lately passed through Strafburg to Paris, has,
it is said, given out, that the Court of Vien
na was willing to enter into negociations for
peacd with France.

. AUG^BOURG^yULY 17.
Since the 14th, the French have been
mafterw>f Feldkirch, Coire, and'the whole
of the Crifons." Gen. Lecourbe had repuls
ed the Austrians near Reuti and Immenftadt,
and took the bold resolution to march a bo
dy of troops through the wood of Bregentz,
which no General had before attempted, in
order to cut off the retreat of the Ailftrians
to the Tyrol, by the mountains of Montalun,
and th attack them from Switzerland. This
compelled the 6000 Austrians who Were in
the Grifons to retire hastily t 0 the Tyrol.—
The armistice has, however, now put an
end to the effufion of blood in that quarter.
SUSPENSION OF ARMS.
MUNICH , JULY 16.
Immediately after the arrival of Count
Dietrichflein, from Vienna, at the head
quarters of Gen. Kray, the Generals Mo
reau and Kray had a conference together on
the 13th at Pafdorf, five leagues from this
city. After a long negociation', and after
each party had receded somewhat from its
firft demands, yesterday evening, abp,ut five
o'clock, an armistice was concluded as the
dawn of peace so earneflly hoped for : so
soon ^s the armistice shall be ratified by the
the E nperor, of which no doubt is enter
tained, a congress for peace will be held in
a neighboring Imperial city.
FRANKFORT, JULY !,.
Yesterday three French Gens, and other officers,
appointed to fettle rhe line of the armistice in the
vicinity of this city came to Offenbach, where
they had a conference with as many German Offi
cers, and among others, with an Andrian General
and M j. Gorgeq; of the Electorate of MenFz.-—
Each party had with them an effort of Hussars.—
The French wished to maintain their position on
the Kina, by Hanau ; but to this objections were
made by the Germans, arid the more, aS inttruc
tions relative to the, fttyflice had not yet been re
ceived from Gen. Kray. Gen. St. Suzanne re
quired of j^fr'Albini, that the Mentz levy en
maffe lhotrid.be landed, 1 and that the regular
Mentz Militra fhouTd retire to Afchiffenburg.—
This, however, was refufed ; as was the propor
tion of the Germans, that the French fhouid retire
behind the Nidda. To day another military con
ference was held in the neighborhood of this city,
It is believed that thrline of the armiftic^, in pur.
vicinity, will be definitively fettled by the Com
manders in chief.-
To-day Gen. St. Sezanne came to this city —
As soon as the armiltice shall be ratified and com
pletely arranged, the Ele&6r of Mentz will re
turn from Wurtzburg to. AfchafTenhurg- The
reigning Prince of Naffay Weilburg; will likewise

on Sunday, bro't a telegraphic confirmation pt the
Armistice in Germany.
Paris Papers to the 26th inst. are received.
They contain a copy of the convention for tho
Armistice. By this convention, it appears, the

Franconia, and Bavaria. The Austrians however
are to retain poffeflion of Ulm and Ingolftadt.—
They are also to occupy the. Upper and Lower
Engadine. The French are to remain m a ders„of

and the Eng&dine is to be neuter. Twelve days

OF PEACE.
•RATtSBON, JITtY 15.
We are assured that the Court of Vienna,.hat
returned an ar.fwer to the Fird Consul's proposal/
for Peace, importing "the Emperor wishes fol
peace-not lets than France, but for one that shall
- be general anti durable ; and durable it cannot be)
it the Cifalpine Republic shall be again eftablilhed
the exigence of which is alike dangerous to the
1 , exigence of Italy and of the Andrian Hereditary
States. Should, however, the re.eft,b|rfhment of
this Republic be made a condicio fine qua non,
it remains to be considered what France will pro
pose for the security and indemnification of Aull
tria." This anfiver is esteemed f<> accommodati
ing, that negociations are expected to be immedi
ately commenced.

The head-quarters of Gen. Moreau will
now be removed to Augfburg, where it
seems probable the Congress for peace 'will
be laid.

will come to the Congtefs for a peace to be
held in this city.

VIENNA,JULY 12.
Thefollowing remarkable Proclamation has been
pubtifoed here : —
" The conduct of the inhabitants of this
Imperial City has been at all times equally
firm and generous, nor have they ever, in
the most disastrous times of the lalt or pre
sent century, forfeited this character. All
^irope" was a witness to the noble resolu
tion of the brave Austrians at the mcmora
, ble crisis in the year t„7<
?The impreflion which the sudden change
in the fortune of war has made tn all minus
is the natural consequence of the Unchange
able fidelity and dffeaive of the People of
Anftria towards their beloved Sovereign, and
is in faa a proof of the zeal with whici
they will make every effort to fuppott the
measures which the, States shall -adopt to
procure a fafe and honorable peace, which
is the heart-felt wi(h of our most gracious
Emperor. "- ~ '
" It' cannot have escaped the public no
tice, that certain men and evil minded per
sons, lurking in obfeurity endeavor to exag
gerate the misfortunes of the Imperial Ar
mies, and to fabricate pretended conditions
of Peace, in order to (hake the resolution ot
the Public, and deprive it of that firmnefs
which it manifeftcd three years ago, equal)
to the glory and advantage of the Austrian
Moratchy.' \
" The office of the undersigned renders
il hi§ duty to vyarn the public against listen
ing to the artful insinuations of these defin
ing men. Firmness and unanimity can a-
Ibne conduct us to an eligible pacification.
These are virtues which muff extort the es
teem and admiration even of the eriemy ;,
while despondency, and relaxation of our
efforts, can only lead him to despise a people
'who for so many centuries has enjoyed the
glory of true heroism.•
" The unremitted endeavors of the Em
' 'M : ? -'.'.l • ••' ' 4 % <-
(peror have been uniformly dire&ed to the
welfare of his good people. His never tail
ing courage before the battles of Amber a,nd
Wurtzburg, and before the negociations at
Leoben, has warded off from us Rill greater
dangers. The blood of his subjects he has
ever been anxious to spare ; and all his ac
tions are a pledge to us—^ That he will
never refufe conditions of Peace which can
be accepted, if they fliould be (as it is falfely
pretended they have been) aerially offered
him by oyr enemies." N
" Ever faithful to his principles, and his
love for the People entrusted to his care by
Providence, he will negle& no favorable op
portunity which may open the way to an
eqritable and honorable Peace, in order to
heal the wounds of war, and seek his only
happiness in the increasing prosperity of his
faithful people.

Vienna, July io, 1800.
Another letter of the fame date.
The Proclamation published here, signed
by Count Saurau, has been fixed up in all
public places both of the city and the-fob
urbs. It is generally considered here the
forerunner of the railing the levy en mafle,
as was done in the year 1797, when 18,000
Vienna volunteers offered to take the field
against the enemy. This, however depends
on circumstances ; to obtain peace we mull
be prepared for war.

KING'S SPEECH, _
On the Prorogation of Parliament this Day.
My Lord, and Gentlemen,
IN putting an end to this laborous Session of
Parliament, I mrft express the just sense I enter
tain of the diligence and perfeverence with which
•QU havr app ied yourselves to the various objects
of pub! c concern which came under your delib
eration. It is wah peculiar fatisfattion 1 congra
crate you on the success of the jh ps which you
have taken for eHe^t ing an entire Union between
my Ki gd ms of Great Britain and Ireland.
This foreat measure, on Which my withes have
been long garneftly bent, 1 shall ever cohfider as
the h ppieft event of my reign, being persuaded
that nothing could so effectual!, contribute to ex
tend to my Irish Subjects the full participation of
the blessings derived from the British Constitution,
and to establish, on the moll solid foundation, the
Strength, prosperity, and power of the wfole Em
pire.
1 have withered with great concern the severe
pressure on my people from- the continued fcarci
ty of the season ; but I trust that, under the bless
ing of Providence, there is now everv reafori to
exp ft that the opproachirg „,vefiwill afford a
speedy and effectual relief.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I return you my particular thanks for the zeal
an! liberality with which you have provided for
the various exigencies of the public service. I re
gret deeply the necessity of these repeated facrifi
ces on rhe part of my fubjetts; but they have been
iequifite for the preservation of cur ceareft inter
e Is, and it is a great confolaion to observe, that
uotwitdilanding the continuance of unufu 1 bur
dens, the reven ie, commerce, and resources of •
the country have flourished beyond all former ex
ample, and are Bill in a state of progressive aug'
mentation.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
The course of the campaign upon the Conti
nent, by a Sudden reverse, disappointed the fan
guine hopes which the Situation of affairs at its
commencement appeared fully to justify, and has
ualakpily again exposed a considerable part of
Europe to those calamities andflangers from which
it had recently been reScued by the brilliant fuc
cefs ot my Allies.
Much as these event are to be regretted, it will
frays be matter of just fatisfadion to me to re
fl'ft that in the courie ot this important conreft,
my efforts, and thofeof my Parliament, have been
unremittingly employed for the maintenance ot
our o d rights and interests, and for animating
and supporting the exertions of other powers in
defending the libei fies of Europe.,
Notwithstanding the ticitudes of war, your
c mitancy and firmnefs have been productive of
the mod important and lading advantages in the
general filtration of affairs, and the determination
manifested in your recent declarationsand con
duft, muff afford me the best means of promoting
in conjunction with my Allies, the general inter
acts, and ot providing under every circumstance
for the honor ot my crown, for the happiness of
my fubjetts, @nd for the security and welfare of
every part ot the British Empire..

having under convoy two Ships, 2.brigs, and two
galliots.—The Nemesis hailed her, and said She
would fend her boat on board the convoy. Ite
Danish commander replied, that if (he attempted
it be would fire into the boat. The Nemesis's
boat was then lowered down, with four men and
a Midshipman in her, ready 10 go bn board the

frigate beingcrqipled in her rigging, and huM';|
struck her rol&nrs—Two men were killed, and:

AUGUST 4.
From the opposition made by two Danish fri
gates, in two different quarters, to have their con
voys searched by our erttizers, there seems but two
much reason for Including that the Northern
Towers havecome to a determination to refill out
maritime superiority, Miniflers have therefore
pitched upon Lord Whitworth to go to Copen
hagen to enter into explanations with the Court
of Denmark. Lord Whitworth, from his Situa
tion at the Court of Peterfburgh, has had an op
portunity of becoming acquainted with the views,
the interests, and the intrigues of the Northern
Powers, and he will therefore be enabled to ap
ply himfelf the more fuccefsfully to those feelings
trom which the late measures of Denmark pro
ceed.

EMIGRATES.
The Committee appointed by the French Gov
ernment to manage the erasures from the lift of
Emigrants, has been diflolved for improper indul
gencies, and a new committee appointed, u ho are
more restricted. This measure is not thought to
discover Buonaparte's particular sentiments ; but
to be a.meafure of policy to appease the Jacobins.

Sible activity in |he operations of his Department,
and in which he % : s that the French People are de-'

in a month or two to visit Rreft. The publicity
of this letter, joined to obfervationi given in the
official journal, refyeffin* the means of remedy
,ing the inferiority of the French Navy, and u hat
is more ferions, to the prohibition recently made
of admitting in the Post of Fraire amt of the pro

Chief Consul either thinks of tryingjiis strength
against us on our own element, Jr flatters himfelf
that.he shall obtain s, tifofe preparations, Condi
