THIRTIETH FRENCH BULLETIN.

" VIENNA, JULY 30.—The gth army, which
was commanded by the Prince of Ponte Corvo, was
disbanded on the sth instant. The Saxons, who
formed part of it, are under the orders of General
Reymen. The Prince of Ponte Corvo is gone to
use the waters. In the battle of Wagram, the vil-
lage of that name was carried on the 6th, between
10 and if o'clock, and the glory of this successful
enterprise is due to the corps of Marshal Oudinot.
" The House of Austria took the field this cam-
paign with 62 regiments of the line, 12 regiments
of cavalry, 12 regiments of grenadiers, four free
corps or legions, making in the whole 3115,000-
men ; 150 battalions militia (landwhers) command-
ed by ancient officers, exercised 10 months ; 40,000
men of the Hungarian iosurreaion, and 60,000
horse, artillery, rnd miners, composing in the whole
frOm 5 to 600,000 men. With this force the
House of Austria supposes to be sure of viaory.—
She entertained a hope of shaking the hover of
France, if even her whole force were united. But
hoc, armies are notwithstanding reduced to one-
fourth part of their original strength, while the
French army has been increbed to double the num-
ber it consisted of at Ratisbon.
" In the castle of Gratz 20 pieces of ordnance
have been found. The castle of Sachenborg, situat-
ed on the frontiers of Tyrol, has surrendered to
General Rosen. •

" The Duke of Dantzic has entered Tyrol with
25,000 men. He has occupied Lofers, and disarm-
ed all the inhabitants; he must, by this time, be
at Inspruck. General Thielman has entered Dres-
den. The Duke of Abrantes is in Bayreuth, and
has pushed his advanced guard to the frontiers of
Bohemia.

ANISTERDAM, AUG. s..—Our Court Gazette of
yesterday contains the following article, dated the
4th :
‘-` The Minister of War set out last night to su-
perintend the execution of the measures ordered by
his Majesty, and this day the King himself proceed-
ed to Rotterdam. The journey of his Majesty has
no other objets than that of expediting and inspe&-
ing the military preparations, and his absence will
continue but a few days.
c‘ The present circumstances, though little incon-
venient for France, are extremely difficult for our
country, but they will serve to render more con-
spicuous the sentiments of those who have already
in ordinary times proved themselves to be the friends
of their country and tl-41ekisting state of things.
" It is very surprising that such a man as Lieute-
nant-General Bruce should have succeeded in ob-
taining the confidence of the Government so far as
to obtain the important rank he held in the army.—
He had the honour of receiving the command of
his Majesty to defend to the last thebatteries of the
Island of South Beveland, and yet he abandoned

then" to the enemy without firing a cannon ur a
muske,, acid r.•tianed to Bergeri-op-Z Join, after
having called together a Council of War, to cover
the shame of a proceeding which so strongly excites-
'- the. suspicion of treason.' By a decree 01 tills date his
Dlaje,ly has deprived him of all his military rank,
and declared him incapable of ever resurniog the
same. As Grand Master of the Ordtr of the Union,
his Majesty has besides declared him uti orthy of
bolding any rink in that Order, and has struck his
name out of the list ot-the Knights. A part of the
Royal Guards, who'were at Bergen-op Zoom, be-
ing disgusted at the conduct of this General, refused
to receive him."

ROTTERDIM, AUG. 4.—General Chamberlac oc-
cupies the lot bank of the Scheldt with a strong
army. He can eisily pass to the right bank, as be
acts in concert with A ;tniral Mississy. A great
number of troops are on their march for the defence
of 'lnt wcrp.

LEN_DEN, AUG. s.—The French fleet lies at the
distance of a mile from Antwerp.
Within these few days a great number of troops
bave passed through Gorcum, Haerlem, and Dord-
recht, and art destined to Breda and Bergen-op-
Zootri, where it is supposed the principal Dutch
force will be colleted. A considerable tiain of ar-
tillery has passed through aderlem. A. squadron of
cuirassiers and a company have arrived at Utrecht

from Leo. • f
4NISTERDAM, AUG. 5.-In all the synagogues,
the Rabbis have exhorted the Jews to arm an de-
fence of the country. In the present circumstances
an extraordinary levy of seamen is to take phiee,
Able. seamen are to have 50 florins bounty, and or-
dinary seamen to have half of that sum.
PARIS, JULY 3I.—A letter from Vienna, dated
the 20th, states as follows:
" Prince John of Lichtenstein and Gen. Wimpfen
have had a long conference with the. Piince of
Neufchatel. Prince John of Lichtenstein, it is said,
has received the most extensive powers for the con=
cksion of a treaty of peace. At the last audience
the Emperor Napoleon gave him a most distinguish-
ed recepti,,n. A speedy, and 'hat is more, a last-
ing peace, mty be relied on. According to all re-
ports, the principal conditions are agreed upon,
Tnit Emperor Napoleon will not remain much
longer at Schoenwun. It is known that the Em-
peror FrAnci: has declared he wishes for peace, and
that he has giVen the Archduke Charles full powers
to decide on every thing. He besides will enter
into no alliance with Enghtud, however alluring
;ing may be the propositions of the Cabinet of •Lnu-
don."

PARIS, AUGUST 1.--With respe& to the English
Expedition, the most ae.ti,e measures b-slie been
taken along the wiiote coast of Normand), Bre-
tagne, and Flinders to repel with vigour any 'at-
tack which may be made. The forts are well sup-
plied with artillery, and furnaces tor heating red-
'hot shot are built. The troops from Versailles and
Paris are concentrating thetz;selves•in Picardy, and
will march* from hence to wherever danger smay
call them. ' • •

took at length the English army yesterday, at four
o'clock in the afternoon, which, on the point of
being surrounded by our troops, drew up in line

with the utmost spirit and vigour. Some woods,which
covered their left wing, did not remain long in their
possession ; and the division of their army which
occupied them, was annihilated by. the Duke of
Belluno.

" A regiment of one of the divisions in the first
corps at tacked an English coluMn with the bayonet,
killed 1000, and made 500 prisoners. The loss
sustaineci by the enemy is very considerable, and
cannot yet be calchlated. During the battle, the
King was mana::uvring on the right of the English,
in order to cut oic their retreat to Talavera and the
Tagus."

MONDAY, AUGUST 21 , nog.

Lord WALPOLE has recently arrived in town, but
he quitted the theatre of war too soon to..have been
able to sme, as mentioned in the Illorniqi Chronicle,
that the Armistice was put an end to by the Aus--
trians. Ttice are, it is true, reports from the Con-
tinent, which way lead us,to expea as probable that
hostilities will be renewed ; and we imagine, that
no doubt can be entertained of the resignation of the
-Archdl*e CHARLES.

Bearing in mind, as we do, the glorio'las services
of that illustrious Prince, we are almost inclined to
hesitate in c(;nratulating Europe upon. his retire-
ment ; but we tear that it is too true that he has
permitted a military cabal to assume a most baneiul
influence over his Councils, and we have long
known that the not taking advarrage of the vidory
of Asperu was to be ascribed to that cabal.

Prince Jonti of Lichstenstein, who contribut-
ed so essentially to the Viciory, had earnestly
plored to have the permission of pursuing the
diSCOlllfited NAPOLEON but he received the cold,
•
killing answer, that it was not the time for pur-
suit. If, therefore, Austria should again de-
cide . .
on War, we could not but rejoice to see the
command of her Armies entrusted to the enter-

. .
prizing and experienced General, who cnus,t be en-
deared to his' soldiers by the share 'he had in
that most hillhant viEtory of Aspern ; who, had
he not been restrained, would probably have
lated the flying legions of France; and who, though
forced, to obey the orders of his superior, ha-, it is
known, most loudly protested against the fatal Ar-
mistice.

The events we have witneksed bid us to beware
of being too sanguine, but our breasts throb. with
expeelation when we bear, at such a moment, of
such a change in the command of the Austrian
armies; and wecanuot say to ourselves, that if ever
there was an opportunity when yvisdotn, in Council
might emancipate the world, it is the present one.

We are this day enabled to lay before our Readers
two curious documents, viz. the Protest of the Pore
against. 'the French violations and encroachments,
and his Excommunication of BUCNAPAUTE. The
times'are. long past since a p pal excommunication
could make Monarchs tremble on their thrones, but
still it will produce some effet:.4 in the Roman Catho-
licworld.'

At a late hour on Sa.turday evening Major BRAD•
FORD and Lieut. MAY arrived in Toivn with Dis-
patches from Lord CHATHAM and Sir RICHARD
STRACHAN, announcing the surrender of Flushing.
These Dispatches were yesterday published in a Ga-
zette ExtraordMary; which is given iii our sub:iequent
columns. The great length of the Gizette renders
it impossible for us at Present to offer any observa-
tions upon'thig impart:int conquest, but we.ta.nriot
avoid expressing our sincere sati'sfaaion at findbig
that. it has been achieved with so small a loss on onr
, .• •.. - . .•,
part. '

Yesserday Dutch Pape'rs were received, contain-
ing Paris intelligence to the 9th instant. BuoNA-
PART4 11as published another Bulletin, though he had
nothing, to communicate; it merely contains an ex-.
aggeratedstMcrilent of the Austrian forceat the com-
mencement of the war, and of the loss which they
have sustained during its continuance. The Austrian
.At my, 'we are told, is diminished to one-fourth,
whi/e the 1.7.-ench liis 66abled its numbers since the

battle of Ratisbon. 'The French raperi give an ac•
count from the Madrid Gazette of the battle of Tala-
vera, but if it were not for the date, we should not
have supposed that it related to the same battle :
the English, it is said, were entirely defeated, and a
French Regiment charged one of our columns with
the bayonet, killed one thousand, and took 500 pri-
soners !

By accounts recently received from Russia, we
find that the French influence there is now un-
bounded, and that it is exerted to the utmost to pre-
vent all intercourse whatever between Great Britain
and Russia. A very strong proof of the extent to
which this prohibition is carried occurred lately : A
Russian Gentleman came to England a few months
ago, with a regular passport, and having accomplish-
ed his business, set out on his return home; but on
his arrival on the Russian frontiers, he was stopped,
and, though he had regular passports; permitting him
to return, they were not attended to, and he has ac.
tually been compelled to return to England. The
only reason assigned for not allowing him to enter
the Russian country was, that he had had commer-
cial intercourse with this country.
