BULLETIN

OF THE
IMPERIAL AND ROYAL AUSTRIAN ARMY.

." WOLKERSDORF, JUNE 18.—On the 16th inst.
the corps under the command of his Imperial and
Royal Highness the Archduke JOHN, composed of
about 20,000 troops of the line, and 16,000 of the
Hungarian Insurrection, were,• in the environs of
Raab, vigorously attacked by the French army, esti-
mated at 50,000 men. s

" The troops of the line fought the whop day

with the greatest success, Sand the enemy suffered
aloss of 2000 men in killed.and wounded. But as
the right wing, consisting for the most part of the

Insurre6tion, that could not be expected to possess

the courage of veteran troops, was no match for the
enemy, his Imperial and Royal Highnesstli-o4a it
most proper -for the attainment of his obje6t to fall
back to a position. near 'Comorn, and thereby to se-
cure and facilitate his, juntlion with the main'army.
`‘. But this has caused 'no material change in the
positions of the Imperial and Rnyal,army ; and the
Archduke JOHN praises highly the excellent disposi-
tion and patriotic alacrity of the troops of the Hunga-
rian Insurrection.

The Imperial and Royal Troops suffered in this
engagement a loss of 1300 men in killed, wounded,

and some few prisoners. About 400 Frenchmen
were made pris. ne s by the Austrians. The ene-
my, so far from pursuing the Austrian troops, ha
again retreated behind the Raab. Dalmatia is
again in the possession of the Imperial and Royal
troops. The enemy has been obliged to abandon
Zeng and Fiume, as well as the Islands along the
.Dalmatian coast., General MARMONT retreated in
s44ol2PiCoLthat the Austrians made a number of
prisoners; in the hospitals, too, the enemy left a
number of wounded, among whom are three French
Generals, and one of them LAtmAy.—Trieste 'must
by this time be delivered from enemies. The Eng-
liph on the one hand, and the Turks on the other,
make common cause withithe Austrian troops.
" The enemy's corps under General -MARMONT is
reduced to six thousand, and is posted at present be-
ivveen Laybach and Klagenfurtb. But General
Count GIULAY is again master of the County of
Cilley, and immediately communicates with Gene-
ral CHASTELAR. The Austrian troops have extended
themseWes froai the Southern Tyrol, as far as Veroni
and Bassario."

The following Proclamation has been issued at

Frankfort, in consequence of the circulation of re-
ports, unfavourable to the French arms :

PROCLAMATION.

" FRANKFORT, JUNE 15.—Although by public
Advertisements, every inhabitant of this city has
been expressly prohibited from talking of political
subjeas in the Inns, and other public places, as well
as from manifesting any opinion whatever, 'or from
spreading false reports relative to the war; and al-
though attempts have been made to shew the fatal
consequences that must result from such impru..
deuce, not only to the person of him who is guilty
of it, but to the public" in general; yet we have
learned, with the greatest displeasure, that in the
Taverns and other public places, different persons,
far from conforming to these salutary and energetic
rernostrances, have dared, as before, to choose poli-
tical matter's- as the subject of their conversation,
and to circulate news as false as it is absurd and im-
prudent. • -
" In consequence, the General Direction of the
Police is forced
ito renew the prohibition which it has
frequently made, to discuss political and military
events, particularly in public places—inn-keepers and
others, who have public assemblies in their houses,
shall be responsible 'on this head, and shall make
known, by bills stuck up, to their guests, to abstain
from such discourse, and to watch carefully that it
does not take place—in default of which, the tavern-
keeper shall incur a fire' of 100 crowns; and even,
according to circumstances, a more rigorous punish-
ment—And he who shall contravene this repeated,
prohibition, by spreading political intelligence, and
holding inconsiderate conversation, Orall be taken tip-
and punished very severely.
"By the General DireEtion of the Police of his
Ilighness the Prince Primate."

A Mail from Gottenburgh arrived to-day, which
brought the following articles of intelligence :

EXTRACT OF,A LETTER, DATED CAR LSHANI, JUNE 22•

" We have received information here, by way of
Dantzick and Colberg, that a Revolution had taken
place at St. Petersburg, that the Emperor was de-
throned, and his mother had taken the reins of Go-
vernment for the present ;.,and that WARclzox,
and his party had been massacred. You must not
place too much confidence in this information
though it is a thing likely to happen."
According to letters from Upsala, a violent con-
flagration broke out there, which consumed, in a
few hours,k 70 houses.

On the,t2th inst. his Majesty wag pleised to no-
minate Dr. DEMAGES, a British Physician, Knight
of the Order of Wasa.--(Stockholm Gazette, June
the 23d)

Extra& of a letter from a Swedish Officer, on
board the brig Fouckta, dated Malmoe-Road, 15111

June :

" On, the loth inst. the brik set sa,il from.Rifwif-
gend, in company with two English frigates, 'one
bomb-ketch, one gun-but, one cutter, and about
150 merchantmen, most of them Swedes; wear
rived here all safe, the' day before yesterday,
at four o'clock in the afternocm. Oar intention was
at first to go through, the Belt, in consequence of a
signal made by the English • frigate Cerberusi we
stood on. through the Sound. Between Necks-
poindand Hammermolla thirteen of the enemy's
gun-boats hove in flight, but kept close in with
'the coast. Some shot were fired against us from,
Cronenhurgh, but did no execution. Off Heltinburg
our convoy was joined by the Africa English, ship
of the line., As soon as the' wind serves we intetid
to take out.depaqure from hence,but the number of
English artned ships which are to remain with us is
uncertain."

The Letteri-which were yeserday received from
contain a number of reports of a very
favourable nature. According to one account, the

igth, and forced him to evacuateiVienna. ,Another
account states, that the Archduke.has published a'
proclarnation,,statink that the Russians and Prussians
were about to join him against the common enemy
of Europe. We are sorry to say that very little
dit is due to these Reports; indeed the former one
is obviously unfounded, for the-Twentieth French
Bulletin is dated the 20th ult. which-is one day after
the total defeat of the French is said to have taken
place. With, respeet to the report about the Rus-
sians, we fear that there is .now little reason to hope
that the Emperor ALEXANDER will adopt that line of
Condud, which would be most consistent with his
own interest and honour; and we confess that'we

cannot view the approach of a consid'6able Russian
army towards the rear of the Austrianas, without

some apprehensien:

We. hai'e often had occasion to mention the dis-
contents which prevail in Holland against the new
Order of things introduced by France, and the latest
accoant of the state of that country.shews that it is
ripe for revolt, and would most probably seize with
eagerness on any opportunity of getting rid of its
oppressive Gallic yoke. It seems, . from- the infor-
riiation of a Gentleman who recently arrived from
the COntinenr, that the Dutch Rulers are apiwehen.
,
Sive that a Secret Expedition is on foot for the inva-
s!on of their country, and have been adopting satite•
measures of &fence. Among other preparationi,
large battery is erecting about seven miles froth Am-
aterdam, and a multiplicity of hands are, at work,
driving enormous piles in the earth, to reitilar the
embankment more secure. A coniiderable number

so as to render it very difficult oF-attes's; If not

Ile alarm is said to have strongly impressed poor

taken place, when the Gentle Man left Holland,
against Government but the public mind was
worked up to a pitch of indignation and bitterness,

• A letter of the 12th tilt: from Riga, confirms the
former intelligence we had received of the severity
of theßussian Commissioners appointed to.-examine
the papers of the shipping entering the ports in the
Onlphs of Riga and , . .
It apPeafs, by a letter of the 2d Sttly, that. an Ex-
edition, consisting only of 40 of the military, from
eligoland to the neighbouring coast of the Conti.!
dent, had been attended with some success. • This
small party seized upon a vessel and cargo of .the
!ague of 00,0001.

the ship, they destroyed it, after distributino its dm-

to the island unmolested.

put in requisition.

the Spanish of 9600, including 600 cavalry, with
twenty pieces of cannon. The enemy's loss was,
considerable. Upwards of 200 dead were buried,
independent of those left dead on the field of battle.
In the night of the 24th they retreated. Some as occasioned an alarm amongst them, and in
