Pnats, JesE 23.—According to letters from Co-
ruuna of the Bth instant, the Duices of Dalmatia,
Elchingen, and Treviso (Soult, Ney, and Mortier,)
have united in Gallicia„ and are marching together
against the English army, which has dared to ap.

AMSTEItDAM, JUNE 26.—8 y the Privateer
Captain Walfsen, an English Gun-boat, carrying
two 18-pounders, and 23 Men, with two Officers,
was taken near Lessoe. Last week, were brought
into Aalberg, a Pappenburgher, and an American
Schooner with fruit. Of the two Prussian Ships
detained near Dragne, one was destined in this di-
reEtion, and the other to Norway.
LEYDEN, Jut 27.—The fallowing (says the
French Journal of this place), having been inserted
in more than one French Journal of the I gth, is
of too curious a description not to be inserted here.
(See the article in 'rue SUN of Thursday last.]
The Editor of the above-mentioned Journal then
adds the following remarks.
" When such articles are read in the public papers
of a tiailon with which our own is so closely con-

netted, •it_is hard to suppress the quick feelings they
must excite in every upright breast. , What ! are
there then persons who avail themselves of the
French papers to accuse us of being the circulators
of intelligence unfavourable to France, generated by
rage and hatred against that country ? But, do not
these persons know, that of all the nations allied to

and nourished troubles and inurrettions, the Dutch
troops have rivalled the French armies in re-esta-

blishing order and tranquility Do they not know
that the Dutch troops have been present at all the

viCtories which the French Generals have gained in
Spain ? Are they the only persons in ,Vaurope who
have so little knowledge of what passes as to be ig-
norant that it was precisely the Dutch troops who
delivered the North of Germany from the robber,
whom, according to their accounts, the people of
Holland wished to see carry oti the King of West-
phalia? The blood of a Lieutenant-General, of
many superior Officers, and 300 brave men, which
has been shed, 11' e tears of the widows and orphans
which still flow, sufficiewti attekt the part the
