LONDON,
TUESDAY, MAY 16.

The Frneh practice of &tailing the operations .
of the *sr in a serifs of Bulletins, has been adopted
by Aurttia in the present campaign. ‘Ve have
teceived German Papers to the 711) instant, tnatain-
ing duet articles to the Atli inrelusive. TM.* do
riot carat down the utserations beyond the 23d last,
up to w urh time they candidly admit that the ad;
vantagl was with the French. According, hoc-
ever, tb th. unofficial net-omits, the Archduke
CHARLES had obtained some important suc-
cesses on the _9th and egth last. A private lit-
ter fern Vienna state«, that he bad titftated the
Frenyli in a fresh action, in which the latter had
50,000 men killed, wounded, and taken risonars.

AA Gottenburgh Aril Arrived yesterday. We
bay, extracted from it the unaiver of 130 s sPARTE
to AA dispatches sent to him by the Duke Regent
et Swittieti. upon the change of the Government
et that country. It is a mere letter of form, ex-
iireasiug iu general anti common place terms his
with see Sweden happy.. •

It was currently and confidently reported last
night in the west end of the town, that Sir ARTHILA
WELIMILLY has f!:iptured Marshal Sourr mid Ins
whole army at Oporto.
If the late accounts from Lisbon be founded in
fact, such au event is highly probable.

The more coolly ulal minutely we examine the
various French accounts of the late military trans-
actions in Bavaria, and the more closely we coin.;
pare them with themselves, the stronger reason
shall we discover for believing that there is contra-
diction, misrepresentation, and exaggeration in
them all. Indeed, it is very difficult to reconcile
ahem locally with each other. Th, two first hulk-
tins published, do not come down later than the
27th of April, when we are told that BONAPAKTE'S
head-quarters were at Muhldnrf, on the river btu;
according to the 3d bulletin he laid readied Burg-
hausen on tSe 30th of April; yet, the accounts
transmitted in the Dutch papers, slatA the uritli,
from Munich, expressly assert that the head-qoar-
ter* were no farther advanced, on the 27th, than to
Landshut, on the river ber, n place only about
half-way from Ratisbon to Mohlt!orf. They add,
that WAPOLOIII himoself had, after reviewing his
Imperial Guards at Lainishut, on that day, the
27th, set out for AVaseerburg. Now, NI a.-r i-
burg is a small Bavarian town on the liver Inn;
but higher up thud Mulrldorf, and completely
out of the route to Vienna. These accounts
go on to say, the head-quarters of the Emperor
will he to.morrow ct Neuroarcit;" that is, oc the
egth of April, they could still not have beep ad-
vents.' as far es Muhldorf. It is for the supporters
of the au curacy of the French official papers, to re-
concile these incongruities.
Meanwhile, we final it admitted by these very
authorities, that the Archduke Citartnrs, who, ac-
cording to Nsvot.aux's second Bulletin, (dated
falsely from Nlulildorf where he was root, on the
27th of April,' •• had no other resource than that
of retiring into the mountains tuf Bohemia, by
Weldmonalten, and Cham," in cosisequenee of
his total defeat on the 2id and 23d ut Eekntithl
mud Itatishon : we find thnt this very Archduke,
lied, cm the contrary, 4, taken a position at Chain."

We have before remarked on the obvious dis-

But, Nitrot toN is II mnrh abler, deeper, and more

Inedible, though asserted in the Munich accounts
that "1,000 of the Grenadiers of the Imperial
Guards, who arrived on the esth of April at Aug:-
Aura, were, only 14 days before, at Madrid." If
time fact he true, we cuituot sufficiently admire, or
express our astonishment at such rapidity of trans-
portittiou from die Manzenstrez•to the Lech Yet,
we repeat, it is not so much on the stupendous
means and talents of Bonaraavr, immense as
they are, that the result of the contest will hinge,
es upon the tlrmnew, fortitude, and determination
or the Austrian Sovereign, his Cabinet, cud alxwe
all, of his subjects.
