Government ha ve received Dispatches from Malta;
dated the 16th Angust. At that time the Troops
were all in the highest health and spirits. The
'most friendly and intimate correspondence subsisted
between Gen. Celtics and the Russian Commander
at Corfu. •
We havc seldom known the town so fruitful in
rumours as it has been for the two last days.
One stated, that the 'link of France had stopped
payment. It is certain, that some French houses
in the City, sold out largely, and this may have
been, probably, the sole found: am for the report.
Another stated, that a general battle had taken
place, between the Austrians and French, in Ger-
many, in which the former, who had 80,000 men
against 100,000, were defeated with the loss of
6,000 men. It was added, that a Paris Paper, of the
2.1, has been rezeived, which mentions, in a vague
war, the commencement of hostilities, rand states,
that the advantap of the first affair was on the side
of the Reach. Another rumour declared, that
private letters of the sth had been received from
11,1Iand, which Awe, that the Austrians had been
viaorious. These are all unantlienticated rumours.
It there have bein an it h.ts been, probably,
only a skirmish, or affair between out-posts.
