field of battle, he has even caused to he printed and circulated an
engraven of that battle, in• which we see him stridittg over both
shoresand his batteries traversingthe islands and the field of battle
in every direction. lle also imagines a battle, which he calls the
battle of Ketsee*, in which a number of French have beta kil-
letl or taken. These childish reports, hawked about by small
cOlumns, like that of Schill, are tactics employed to disquiet
and rouse the country.

General Marziani, who was made prisoner in the battle of
Raab, has arrived at the head quarters. Ile sii)s, that since the
liattle of the Piave, the Archduke John has lost two-thirds of
his army ; that he afterwards received recruits which scarcely
filled the vacancies, and who do not understand pe use of arms.
fie reckons the less of the Archdukes JoSii and-Palatine, in the
battle of the Raab, at 12,000 men. According to the report of
the Hungarian prisoners, the Archduke Palatine was on that
day the first to take eight. Some persons seem to wish to put
in.opposition the force of the Austrian army at Esling, estimated
at 90,000 men, with the 80,000 men which have been made va-i-
-loners since the opening of the campaign !—t hey have shewn Dery
tle reflection. The Austrian army entered upon the campaign
with nine corps of 40,000 men each, andlthey had in the interior a
corps of recruits and Landwehrs; so that Austria really had
more than 400,000 seen under arms.

From the battle of A bensberg to the taking of Vienna, they
reckon that in Italy and Poland we have taken 100,000 prison-
ers from the enemy, and he has lost 100,000 men in killed, de-
serted, and those dispersed. There still remains, therefore, to
him 200,000 men, distributed as follows: the Archduke John
had in the battle of the Raab 50,000 men ; the principal A us,-
trian army was, previous to the battle of Esling, 90,000 men ;
and there remained 25,000 men with the Archduke Ferdinand at
Warsaw, 25,000 men were dispersed in the Tirol, Croatia,
and spread in bands on the confines of Bohemia. The Austri-
an army at Esling was composed of the first corps commanded
by general Belligarde, the only one which had not been en-
gaged, and which was still entire, and the wrecks of the 2d, 3d,
4th, sth, and 6th corps, which had been crushed in the preced-
ing battles. If these corps had suffered no loss, and had united,
such as they were, at the commencement of the campaign, they
would have formed 240,000 men. The enemy had not more than
90,000 men, thus we see how enormous the losses are which
they have suffered.

When the A tchdukeJohn entered on the campaign, his army
was composed of the. Bth and 9th corps, amounting to 80,000
men. At. Raab he had only 50,000 ; but in these 50,000 were
comprised 15,000 Hungarians of the Instirrect-ism. loss
was therefore 45,000 men. The Archduke Ferdinand entered
Warsaw with the 7th corps, consisting of 40,000 men. lie is
reduced to 25,000. His loss is therefore 15,000 men. We shall
see how these different calculations are made and Verified. The
Viceroy, with 30,000 French, beat at Raab 50,000 men. At
Esling, 90,000 men have been beaten and restrained by 30,900
French, who would have completely routed and destroyed them,
if the carrying.a way of the bridges had not caused a want of am-
teunition, The great efforts of Austria have been the result of
paper money, and the resolut.ion of the Austrian Government to
risk all. In the danger of bankruptcy, which would have
brought about a revolution, she has preferred to add 300 tnii-
limarto the mass of her paper money, and try a last effort to
have it circulated through Germany. I t;q, and Poland. It ig
very.probable that this consideration has ififluenced inure than
any of her deterrninat ions. Not a single regiment has been draw ti
hum Spain, except the Imperial Guard..
"General Count Lauriston continue's the siege of Raah w ith
the greatest activity, The town has been on fire for 24 hours;
and this army, which at Esling had gained su great a victors,
that it took 20.000 muskets, and 20,000 cuirassiers; that army,

PARIS, TUNE 28.—0 n the 22d, the following notification
was published• at Ludwigsburg, the residence of the Kiog of
W irtemberg.—The entrance of a corps of Austrian troops into
the country of Bayreuth, and that of another corps into Saxony,
which has already penetrated into Thuringia, as also the conti-
nually increasing insurrection in the Uoralberg and the Tyrol,
which threatens the frontiers of this kingidom, have induced His
Majesty le' resolve -4o increase his military- force in order as
much as possible to cover his States-from any hostile attack, on
any side whatever. His Majesty has therefore ordered a part
of the battalions of the Militia to he formed, and several batta-
lions of the de depots to be organized.; so that in less than eight
days, a corps.of infantry of from eight to 9000 men,.. including
the regiments of the line already in the.country, may be brought
into the field.

N A PLES, JUNG 14.—Several wrefthes, lately landed by the
English on the Coast of Calabria, have been beaten and killed
ordriven info the sea by the national guard. The English have
embarked all the troops which they had in Sicily ; we have ilia
seen them pass, hut are ignorant of their destination. At this
day all Italy is delivered from the presence of the enemy's
troops.
DUSSELDORF, JUNE 2-t.—.fin express dispatched from the •
Imperial h.:td-quarter: ou th.. 16 h iast. has hrott4it the follow-
ing imelliAenrc :—The military movements of the grand armies
are on the point of being recommenced. The Emperor is merely
waiting the arrival of 50,000 Russians, who are approaching •
Vienna by forced marches, to strike a decisive blow. They are
to arrive at the same time with a Polish army, which, after
having subdued all Gallicia, is advancing to form a junction
with the grand French army. The King of Westphalia has
taken the field, and is marching in the direction of Leipsic to
meet the enemy. The Westphaliau force, joined by the Saxon 1
troops, amounts to 15,000 men, and 35 pieces of ordnance. The
King has established his head-quarters in Frankenhausen. On
the 21st his Majesty's patroles advanced to a considerate distdnce
without falling in with the enemy. The troops entertain' no.
other apprehension than that they shall not be able to overtake
him.—Royal Amsterdam Gazette, July 5.
