SECOND EDITION.

SUN-OFFICE,

We stop the Press to lay before our Readers:somo
particulars of the intelligence brought by the Gen-
tleman whose arrival from Rotterdam we mentioned
in our First Edition. He left' Rotterdatn on Satur-
day, and arrived yesterday at Harwich. He, states'
that several letters had been ...received there, which
mention, that all the French Generals conceived the
passage of the Danube to be.a desperate and mad at-
tempt, and that BoowAPARTE would not have un-
dertaken,it if he had not been compelled by necessi-
ty, from want of provisions,•L—that the French suf
fered "so severely in the battles which took place,
that they had not been able to advance their
..
head-
quarters beypnd Walchersdorf ; and that the Aus-
trians retreated in perfeet. order, to a much stronger
line of entrenchments which they had for some time

been fortifying, and that the retreat of the Archduke
was a feint to draw'BuoNAPARTE from the'Danube.
He further states, that the whOle of the French
`force in the Austrian territories does not exceed
120,000 men; land that, notwithstanding the boast-.
log of the French Bulletins, the general opinion was,
that the. last Battles had been in their results-so dis
astrous to the French, that. BUONAPARTE WOOld not
venture to advance, as, in case of any reverse, his re-
treat would becoine•itnpra6ticable.
Suf'h_ is gip substance of 'the details brought by
this Gentleman ; but as they are entirely founded
upon private accounts received in Rotterdain;%Ve, of
• . .
course, Cannot vouch for their corredness. We
. .
think, havvever, that from an attentive' perusal of
the Bulletins,• there is strong reason to believe that
they are, in general, well founded.
