I hope this army will receive some mark of dis-
tinction for the gallantry it has displayed ; and let it
not be forgotten that the present is the only instance,
since the French hate been so reputed in arms, in

commanded by their test Officers, has ben defeat•

SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1809.

We are still unable to communicate to our Readers
any official intelligence of ,the surrender of Flush-
ing, though we hate' no doubt of the .fact. This
delay in the arrival of the official intelligence may
be accounted for from the cirqumstanee of Lord
CHATHAM having gone to Bathz to superintend the
prepara! ions against Lino, and Sir E.CooTE,who com-
manded before Flushing, would of course transmit his
dispatches to Lord CHATHAM, in South Beveland.—
We have little doubt that the next arrival will bring
us some • important intelligence respeaing the opera-
tions against Lillo, as every preparation had been
made fur an attack upon that important. Fotoess.

We have received German Papers tb'the-Sth inst.
They contain some reports, of the Preliminaries of
Peace between Austria and France being signed, but
if so: h an event had taken- place; it would soon be
officially notified throughout the Continent. The
other itheiligence in these Papers, is of very indent)-
.
port ance.

-Just before this Paper was put to Press, we re-
ceived Paris Tapers to the pa, -Hamburglt to the
I tat, and Fraidifort to the 4th, from which we
have made the tullov,ing extraCts:—

PARIS, AtG. 1.-Tile preparations making here
induce us to presume that his Majesty will soon be
here. The Imperial Guard has. already.received or-
ders to occupy the same posts as is tisakvhen the
Emperor is here.

" It is rvpotted here that
ia general Congress of
all the Princes of the Confederation will be held in

this City.

VIENNA, JULY 23.—The Prince,ot LICHTEN-
3tEIN makes frequent jourtiies from Cornorn to
Sehot,i,brunn. According to • eports, the signature
of peace is near; the conditions will be very advan-
tageous to the Princes of the Rhenish Confederacy,
but particularly to Bavaria and Saxony. The frun-
tiers of Austria will be removed far to the East.
