FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

PA Is, MAY 23.—A new Bulletin was published
here; to-day, of which the following is a copy :---
EIGHTH BULLETIN OF THE 'FRENCH ARMY:
The people of Vienna praise the Archduke REI--
NIEU. He was Governor of Vienna, but when the
revolutionary measure ordered by the Emperor
Fa4Ncts 11. came to his knowledge, he refused to
retain the Guvernineut. The Archduke MAXIMI•
WAN was therefore appointed in his'stead. This
young Prince, who displayed all the thoughtlessness
that could be suppo4A to belong to his age, de-
d ed !hat he would bury himself under the ruins
of the town. He collet:ted together all the restless,
the indolent, and the worthleais, of whom there is
alwoys .a multitude in a great city, furnished them
i.‘ikes, and distributed all the arms which were
in the arsenal.

In vain did the inhabitants represent to him that
a great city raised by infinite labour and expence to
solii6ha pitch of grandeur; ought not to be ex-
posed to the horrors and devastation with which
*Aar is atcompanied. These representations,
ever, only excited his passion, and his fury rose to
such a height that he gave no other answer but the
order to fire bombs and howitzers on the suburbs
which could Lill the inhabitants only, as the
French were pro►eF.led by their fortifications, and
ctiuld derive a (antler security from the practice of

War.

The people of Vienna experienced the most pain=
lot anxiety, and the' town was believed to be de-
veted to tiestruaion, when the Emperor NAPOLEON,
Lii'd the capital iron) the evils of a protracited de-
fenee, by rendering all defence evidently useless, or-
dered the troops to cross the arm of the Danube,
a,nd to take possesson aft a Prater.
At eight o'clock an,offieer informed the Archduke
that a bridge was established at that quarter, that
great number of the French had crossed by swim-
ming, and were already on that side of the river.—
At this news the hot-headed Prince grew pale, and
was titled with terror. He passed the Prater in all
haste; sent every battalion he met back by the bridge,
and made his escape without having formed any ar-
rangement for the defence of the town, and even
without transferring to any person the command
which he was abandoning. This however was the
verysaMeinan who but an hour before had boldly
pretended that he would bury himself under the
ruins of the capital,
The fate of HOuse of Loraine was foreseen by
air ieteilii;eut persons, tho' in other respects of the
most (Tpo,ite oviniOLIS.—MANFREDINI obtained an
audp..rivo ot .he Emperor, in which he represented to
t Ais war would long weigh heavy on his
CAlseienco, that it would bring about the downtaltof
H :int; that iriu French would soon be al
Pon ! I'oh !" replied the Emperor,
" are ail in Spain."
eettr, in pursuance of the confidence which
tie f,tepet p fortnerly placed in him, took the li-
be, of neiking repeated tepresontations.
'the Prince de Witte said tdoed-,--" I thought I
w.is old ee.:Jegh nut to have outlived the Austrian
Alin:at:l9,l." And when the Old Count. WALLIS
the Etleitiox set out to join the army, he said,
" there is DAetus running to meet an ALEXANDER :
be will eieierieuce the same fate."
Cflon Lawts Vow COBENTZE!, the chief pro-
miner of the war of 1406, was at this time lying
on Ins death bed ; but 24 hours before he expired,
1w addressed a vigorous and animated letter to the
Eloperor" Your Majesty," he wrote, " ought
to consider yourself as fortunate, with resped to
the situation in which the Peace of Presburgh has
placed you. You are in the second rank among
the powers of Europe, which is the satne that your
ancestors occupied. Avoid a war for which no pro-
vocation is given, and which will produce the ruin
,tif your house. NAPOLEON will conquer, and will
,then have the right to be inexorable," &c.—This
last ad of Count COBENTZEL rendered his departing
moments truly interesting.
The Prince of Ztzioinoar, Minister for Foreign
Affairs—several statesmen, who, like him, remain-
ed free from the contagion and fatal blindneil of the
moment---several other persons of distindion, and
ill that were respeflable nmong the Burghers, enter-
tained the same sentiments, and spoke in the same

manner.
But the wounded pride of the Emperor FRANCIS
IL—the hatred at the Archduke CHARLES against
Russis, Enid the displeasure with which he viewed
the close union between that Empire and France—
g,ild of .Fogland, which had purchased the .111i-
niStet STADION—the! levity and inconsiderateness of
borne duze;is ut w ,men, or effeminate men—the
deoe.ptioni and No reports of Count METEENICH—
the ion:lgues of the BAzumov,SKIS, the DALPOZIOS,
the SEHLYGELi, 'he GENTZCS, and other adien.
turers, tel,plo En4hnd tonntains for the purpose of
sowing d,:;,(4,:..1 On 140. Cuntirnent, have promoted
this lotAlsh 44. •

Before the trawl
were victonous in tie new,
it wa Said that they wet e few in number that there
were no more of them in Germany ; that the corps
consisted entirely •of conscripts ; that the cavalry
were without horses ; that the Imperial Guard had
mutinied, and that the Parisians were in insoriediun
against the Emperor NAPOLEON.

After we had conquered, however, the French
40tny was innumerable ; it never was formed of
sore veteran or braver troops; the attachment of
• the soldiers to the Emperor NAPOLEON tripled and
quadrupled their force ; the cavalry was . well
mounted, numerous and formidable; the artillery
was better served than that of any other nation,
and moved with the rapidity of lightning, &c. &c.
Weak Princes ! Corrupt . Cabinets ! ignorant,
fickle, besotted mei) ! Such are the snares which
England has these fifteen years constantly spread for
you, and into which you still readily fail. But the
catastrophe you prepared is at length developed, and
the peace of the Continent is for ever secured.
'Yesterday the Einpei or reviewed Gen. NANsour's
division of heavy cavalry. He bestowed much praise
.on the appearance of this fine division, which, after
so severe a campaign, exhibited .5000 horses in Order
of battle. His Majesty tilled up the vacancies by
new appointments, and bestowed the title of Ba-
ron, with an estate, on the bravest Officer, and the.
decoration of the Legion of Honour, with 1200
franks, on the bravest Cuirassier of each regiment.
--:-We found at Vienna 500 pieces of cannon, a vast
number of gun-carriages and muskets, a great quan- .
tity. of powder, abundance of ready maa'milhary ac-
coutrements, and a heap of bullets and cast iron.
Oaly ten house,. were destroyed during the bom-
bardment. The people of Vitntia remarked, that
this misfortune had justly fallen on, those who were
the most zealous promoters of the war, and they
perceived then that General Atinacossv direded the
batteries.

The appointment of this General to the Govern-
ment of Vienna, has proved highly satisfaaory to all
the inhabitants. He had left behind in the capital
an honourable recolleaion, bud crijoya th getteral
respe6l of the people.
A few days rest have greatly benefited the army
and the weather is now so tine, we have scarce:,any
sick. The wine distributed to the troops is in buy-
dance, and of excellent quality.

The Austrian Government has made asfoniShing'
efforts for the support of this war. It is calcutted'
that the preparations have cost above 300 millions
in paper money. The mass of hills in circulation
exceeds in value 1500 rnillioi s. The .Court of
Vienna has carried off the plates of this son
of assipaia, for which a parts of the onnei of
the monarchy are mortgaged, that .i 4 to say, their
security is a properly ahnolit over
which the holder of the paper ria,e nu courronl.
. While a paper money which the public could not re-
jeol, and which daily increased to value, was
widely multiplied, the Court, chrough the bankers
at Vienna, bought up ail the gold that could be pro-•
cured,.and sent it to a loreign wintry. ,A month
has scarcely elapsed since chests lull ut twin ducats,
sealed with the lutperi.rl seal,
.were forwitrkleci by
the North of Germany to Holland.

LONDON,
. . FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 11'3119*

We this morning received Portuguese. Papers to
the 23d nit. We had made several- extrafts from
them before we were aware that government had.
received Dispatches from Sir AaTitua WRLLESLEY,
front which it appears that the details in the Por;,.
tuguese. Papers are in a great degree Onfountled.—:.
The dispatches from Sir AIITUUIi are dated Oporto
the 2110 ult. they state that the atteMpt which he
had made to cut off the retreat of SOUL.T had been
unsuccessful, and that he could not continue the
pursuit with any effeti, unless he had so completely
Jiiorganized army, that it would have been
,tlitit for efficient opeintionsfor some time., • Mar
-
Oa) SOOLT has etleaed his retreat into Gallicia,after
ha% ing tom all. art baggage, ammunition,
and abnin one-lonvb part of his Army 'in this short
campaign. Sir, itaTuve WF.LLaSLOY has begun
his march to the southward, in order to carry Imo

soon as Sous.r was driten out of Portugal.
The retreat or rather the flight of the French was
so rapid, that it was found impossible to bring them
to a&ion. In one instance our advanced guard,
composed principally of detachments of the Guards,
came up with the rear of the French, and attacked
them with such impt.tuosity, that the French, after
a short resistance, tied with precipitation.
The French killed or ham -strung all the horses
and mules belonging to their baggage waggons and
artillery.
• The North of Portugal being thus cleared of the
French. it is probable that Sir ARTHUR will now
dire& his attention to Marshal VicTott, who has so
long remained inhaive on the Eastern Frontiers of
Porthgal.
We cannot close this article without adverting to
the illiberal insinuations which have been thrown
out respeaing the recent events in Portugal. It has
been said, that Sir Aartiva Wai.Litautit has exag-
gerated his suceessef and that Ministers have been
disposed to attribute too much importance to them.
We really du not know what degree of success
would satisfy the sanguine expetitations of the Gee..
tlemery who make these candid observations. Sir
ARTHUR WELLeSt.er has driven out of Portugal a
French army not very inferior to his own in . point
of numbers, commanded by one of the best Ge-
nerals in the French service. Th French army, it
is true, iw not taken prisoners, because it tied with it,
much precipitation that it was itypostable to overtake
it, but it has lost, as we have alitrhaiy stated, out}
fourth of its numbers, and all is artillery and bag..
gage —All this has been accomnli,hecl in about tea
day., and yet we are told that the Successes of Sir A,
WrIaLLESLEY are exaggerated ! ! !

Dispatches were this morning received at t!ie Ad4'
mirahy from Admiral CUCtittANE,Ch Slate, that
th* Saintes had sur'rendered to our anus, and flat
the garrison was nude prisoners of war.

We yesterday announced the arrival of the Ph
Bulletin of the French Army ; it is given at 100
