TUESDAY, JULY it.
It misreported, last eieniniz, upon the alleged
Authority of letters from Holland, au Dover, and
from Germany. era Leith, that a great battle had
takers place on the Danube, between the two
Grand Aralies; that it commenced ou the 25th,
and lasted until the evening of the ttGtli, when it
ended in the defeat of the. French, with u Ides of
4%000 men. including so:ne of UONAPARICS
fa-

bas probably taken place afore this time, and we
May therefore es:sfitt daily reports of this kited on-
tip tbe certain announcement of the great event.

They state that the. fortreka of Haub was fettered
before the time stipulated fog its *Lethal surrender,
on the evening of the 24th lass. This, hOirver,
is very improbable. The Archduke 3011110 W urruy
was the only force likely to effect this operation,
1 and it appears, front the aid nulietiti, that it haii

, retreated to Comorit, on the Danube. Among the

Papers, is a Russian Ukase, regulating Henna,'

We received, at a late hour last night, Ham-
burgh Papers to the Ist instant, , and a Paris Pa-
per, the Journal de l'Entpire, of the same date, the
substance of which is givsu in our preceding co-
honic.

Two Spanish Noblemen arrived in town last even-
ing with dispatches, it is supposed, front the Su-
preme Junta at Seville. There is a report in cir-
culation, that General Sitsasrtairt ha.l offered to
evacuate Spain, with the Frew:lt forces, it allowed
to go off unutoleated.
The Thews/end packet is arrived at Falmouth,
in 13 days; from Tortola. She brings no news.
The Cork Soothers' Reporter, in its Number of

" The Captain, however, states, ,That at Sandy-
hook, the day before his departure, ha saw a New-
York Paper of the loth, which stated, that the re-
joicings which were fixed for that day, to commeme-
'rate the renewal of commercial intercourse' with
these countries, had been stopped, in corissmeence
of the news carried wut by the Pacific, and that
it was supposed, in the same Paper, each pro-

It is no longer possible to doubt that the present
campaign, and the present situation of BON•PARTE,
bear nn resernbtaace to those successful military
expeditions which rendered hint the terror and the
arbiter of the Continent I Scarcely do we recog-
nize, except in his language and his assertions,
that terrible Corsica,,, who, ever since the over-
throw of the Austrian Monarchy, and the Peace of
Presliurg, may be said to have concentered in him-
self all the energies of Europe. Every successive
week, and every succeeding Bulletin, expose his
altered condition,
,and prove, most eloquently, that
he is- involved in complicated difficulties. Before
we proceed to examine the contentsof his own Bul-
letins, it ia, however, indispensable to review the of-

fiend cominunicatiou of the lath of Juror, published
by the Imperial Austrian Army, dated from Wol-
kersdorf. It is a reflecting mirror, which presents
the images reversed; enabling us to appreciate,
and to reduce to their just value, the false or all).

pretended victory, of the 14th of June, in the envi-

soy beneficial results, here shrinks into an indeci-
sive engagement, in which, though it is admitted,
that, from the superiority of regular and -eterati
troops over new levies, he obtained a degree of ad-
vantage, yet, so far from painting the Austrian
troops, he his again retreated behind the Raab."
