were tacit equal to the charge, lint lie, found fault
with tho charge upon the, War Taxes, -which was

accuracy: of Vansittart, and observed that an

it had a most fortunate result for the arms of

The Statiro frigate has picked up at sea about
300 French soldiers, who made their escape from
Sr. Andero, which place has been captured by
the Spaniards. The Frenchmen taken state that
the Spaniards put ail to the sword that fell into their
hands.

It was yesterday reported that accounts had been
received of another battle having taken place between
the Austrians and French, in which the former had
the advantage, but the report does not appear to rest
upon any authority. We haul no doubt, however,
that We Shall very shortly receive some important in-
telligence from the theatre of war, because BUONA-
PAATE must make some grand etil.trt to ex.ricale him-
self from his present situation, and that effort, of
course he Would make as soon as he had received his
reinforcements. We feel, however, considerable
sati.faelion in stating, that his army world not, even
after being joined by the army of Italy, be much
more numerous than it was before the battles
of the alit and 22d. It i 4 'now known that
the loss of the French on these two da7s'was be-
tween 3O and 35,000 men. The army of Italy does
not much exceed that number, and we know from
very good authority, that there are not above 25,000
French troops in that attny—the rest are Italians,

The inns of the Austrians, nn the .s 2 lin and 22d ult.
.
was between 15 anii 16,000 men, and the reaion of

the great disproportion between the luslof the two

armies, is stated by BUONAPARM hitusellin his Bul-
Actin, viz: that for some hours on the 22d, this Au-
strians kept up. a dreadful
.fire upon the French from
200 pieces of cannon, 'while the French, " deprived

I of their parks of reserve, were under the necessity a
being sparing of their ammunition." Reinforcements
lare ofcourse' pouring in to join e Cll 11L
•
I from difrereut"quarters, so that there does nut ap-
peerlo be any ground tOr hpprehentling that Buo-
APA LITE will bevablu to overwhelcn she Austrians by
the immense superiority of his numbers.

Last nigh; we received Dutch Papers to the 16th
inst. 'They contain the official account tutostnittcd
by General. fiItATIEN to Louts AUt)brAPAIITI, re-
spe6tingthe attack upon Stralsund, and the death of
the gollant Colodel S.CHILL. It is not htated
tin&ly in this account, whet hut. the Island, of fiugen
is taken or not. We hope, from the silence of Ge-
neral GRATIEN upon that subje6t, that the remains
of Scurt.t.'s aorpi arc in poswssion of ihat ;stand.

There was a report this day that Government had
,received an account of the capture of,Civadaloupe,
and it is said that it was confirmed by a telegraphic

SUN-OFFICE,

V.ALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK,

This tay Parliament was Prorogued by Cotnini:;-
sign, and the LORD Cft*Nr4l74Oß delivered a Sprectr,

of which the following is the substance :
It commences with stating that His MAJESTY
MS happy in being able from the state of Public but
sines;, to relieve the Members of Parliament fro m.
their long and laborious attend:nice., and I-Ixs MA-
JESTY hopes, that upon their return to their re/vo-
tive Counties, they would, by their precept and ex-
ample, inculcate that obedience to the Laws, and at-
. tachment to the Constitution which are so essentiaj
to the welfare of thelltate.

His 111A1STY then thanks the House of -Com-
•
mons for the liberality and prompti tilde .w;tat
k
which they had granted the necessary Supplies for
tho. Public Serf ice, and more especially for the Pro-
vision which they had made for the Poorer C:ergy,
an object Which ilis Ij.lJFiTv had, much at heart.
I'he Speech then proceeds to state that the atro-'
cious conduct of the Ruler, of France -te,wards
had not only excited a spirit of' retiitance in tint
Country, but had afforded to other Nations an 6P''
portunity of making new efforts for their inde-
pendence; and though from the uncertainty at-.
tending all human'aiLirs. and particularly the ope-
rations of War, it would be improper to form too
sanguine expeCtations as to the .result of the con 7,
'test, yet from the splendid triumph. which had at-'
tended the Austrian Arms' under the Archduke
CHARLES, there was every reason to hope for ulti-
mate success.

The Speech concludes with an assurance that no
etTort on His MAJEcry's part shnold be wanting 0
contribute towards the deliverance of Europe, and
that lie wouldritford every asiistanve in his power
to those Nations that were stroggliag for their hide-
pendence—an assistance which was as becoming to
the charaaer, as it wo4hi be cood‘wive to tile ju"•
terestsof this Country.
