WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, toog.

A report was this morning circulated that General
VICTOR had, by a rapid March, reached Lis-
bon, and taken possession of that capital, be-
fore Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY could arrive
.from the North to impede his progress. No such
intelligence has been received by Government, nor
do we give any credit to the report. We are con-
vinced that VICTOR would retreat, rather than ad-
vance, upon the approach of Sir ARTHUR WEL..
LESLEY.

Yesterday evening Dutch Papers to the 3d reach-
ed town, the contents of which are very important.
There is every reason to believe that a great battle
has been fought in Moravia, and there are grounds
to hope, if we may rely upon private accounts,
that it has terminated in favour of the Austrians,
although the Dutch Papers state that the result was
to the advantage of the French arms. The follow-
ing is the account given in the Paper to which we
'allude. of this battle:—

DOR,DRECRT, JUNE 3.--. This day, by what acci-
deo we.know not, neither the Noniteur, nor any
,other. French Paper has reached us. Private Let-
ters, however, from Paris, of the 30th ult. .speak of
a most 'ohstinate and bloody battle, which had
taken place on the frontiers of Moravia, with the
united Enemy's foree, under the command of the
Archduke: Ctretut.Es. According to these Letters
Marihal LAANES was wounded in this battle. In
other respects the result was entirely to the advan-
tage of the French arms. It was thought ►hat the
Bulletin containing the circumstances of this battle
Would be inserted in the Moniteur of the 31st."

If we had no other information upon the subjeet,
we certainly should not be inclined to believe from
this account that the French had obtained a victory,
and our donbus.are considerably strengthened by se-
veral private letters which havebeen received, which
speak of this battle, and slate in very positive terms,
that the Austrians were victorious. The master of a
a Dutch vossei who arrived yesterday from Zealand
states, that before he sailed intelligent% had beer►
received, that the French had crossed the Danube
with 30,000 men a little above Vienna, that this corps
was attacked by 80,u00 Austrians, and.was nearly
cut to pieces, when the main body of the French
having crossed
,the Danube, the battle, was renewed
with mat fury, and at length terminated in favour
of the French. Such are the. different accounts
which have reached this country. It is probable that
in the course of a few hours authentic intelligence
will reach us, upon this most interesting subied.

The other intelligence in these Papers is of a very
distressing nature. The Bavarians, it is stated, have
completely succeeded in subduing the brave Ty-
rolese. Feder l CHASTELAR has evacuated the TY,,
re), and has paned over the Brenner mountain into
Carinthia. BUONAPARTE has ivdered the Austrian'
prisoners, born is the provincesriecently conquered,
to be enrolled in the Bavarian army. By iliiiatro.
cious adbf tyrauny, they' will be compelled !ri fight
against their SoVereign. and their Countrymen, and
to assist in the set jiigtition of their Country. .

The accounts front the Continent respetling
Colonel SCULL continue to be most favourable.
It is said that fie •is advancing with a regularly
equipt army of 10,000 men, to besiege Cassel. He
has issued a`Problarnation, declaring Jgaorart.BuoN4..

SUN-OFFICE,
ITALY PAST TWO O'CLOCIC) I'. M.

DEFEAT OF BUONAPARTE.
It is with sentiments of the most sincere satis-

faelion 'that we announce to our Readers the De-
feat of the French Army, commanded by BUONA•

PARTE in person.
The Tenth and Eleventh French Bulletins are

arrived they state that the French army having
passed the Danube, near Vienna, was attacked on
the' 21st by the Austrians under the command of
the Archduke Cu Ann. The battle lasted with va-

rious success during the whole of that day, and
was renewed on the 22d, and terminated in favour

of the Austrians.

, The French, according to the account of the Bul-
letin, were forced to retreat across the Danube,

having lost 1200 killed, and 4000 wounded. Mar-
shal LASWES had his kg shot off.

Such is the French official account, from which
we are fairly justified in inferring that they have

sustained a most serious defeat.

Since writing the above, we have received the
French 13ulletins, and hasten to lay before our read-
ers the following abstraet of them :

THE TENTH BULLETIN.

Enstisnoarr, MAY 23.—After describing the

form of the Danube at Ebensderff, it states

that on the night of the 20th the Emperor
crossed the Danube, accompanied by BERTHIBR,
MASSENA, and lASNIES—they took a Position
on the nest, on the left bank, the right wing
was. at , the village of Essling, and the left at
Grossassperenh—Both these villages were taken.—At
noon on the 21st, the enemy chewed themselves,
and attempted to drive our advanced guard into
the river—Vain attempt !
The • Duke of RIVOLI was at first attacked at

Gromumperen, by BELLIOARoz—be' maneeuvred
with Mot.rroe's sea LionAim's Divisions,- and
rendered all 'their attacks abigtive—The Duke of

MONTEBELLO defended Essling—The Duke of
ISTRIA covered the flank with cavalry.--The ac-

tion was severe—the enemy having vou cannon
and 90,00 men, being the remains of their armies.
Gen. D'EsPhobat divided his corps into squares,
but ho was killed with a , musket ball at the head

of his troops, and General FOULURS was 11180

killed. General NANsouTz arrived 41.014 evening
on the field of battle, and distinguished himself
highly. At eight in the evening the battle ended,
Ittid we remained masters of the field.—During the
night Ouart4or's corps, litt.t.Attut's division, and
two brigades of cavalry, crossed from tharight.bank
to rite left.—Con the tst, at four P. M. the.Dake
of lizvom was engaged with the enemy, who
made several successive attacks, on the ;

but limoLt at last complitely defeated them.—
The enemy occupying, a large apace between the
right .and left wingi, we took the re4olutioo of

penetrating their centre. The Doke of Mosre-
BELLO headed the charge. OuDINOT was on the
left., Sr, HILLAIIM in they CCIIIR), and BounaT on
the right. The centre of the enemy couldoot with-
gond ut—in a moment. all was overthrown.

The Doke (f ISTRIA made several fine charges,
Yt seernod all over with the Austrian army when

`at seven in the morning an Aide .de Camp of the
EMPEILOR came to inform hinlithat the rising of the
Dlanbe had drifted a great mamba of booms which
in consequence of the events at Vienna hadobeen

Cut dowii ap4,kiid birdie' bank, and that they had

broken down the bridges, which communicated
fronythe right bank with the little Island, and with
the Wind In-der-Lobp.

An the restive corps which were advancing
were upon the right hank, as also part of our
heavy cavalry, and all AUSTASTADT*B corps. a In On-
sequence of this shocking- accident, the Emperor
resolved to stop the troops from advancing. He or-
dered the Duke of tilotqrsuat.t,o to stop on the
geld of laattlei and tall* his position with the
left wing agni* a cartaht which the Duke of

Rivera covered, and his rigbt wing at Disling. The
cannon, infantry, and cartridges which belonged to
our parks, could not be brought over. The may
was in great disorder just at the moment when be
learnt our bridges had been broken down-.. The

slackening of our fire and the concentrating of out
army left him no doubt respe&ing the unfore-
seen accident that bad happened. All his canon
andiartillery equipage were again brought in line,
and fiom nine a. vs. till seven p. he made the
greatest efforts, supported by 200 cannon, to over-
throw the French army—but all his efforts turn-
ed only to his discomfiture; Three times he 4.
attacked the villages and three times be filled
them with his dead—The enemy resumed the
position which they had left before the attack
began, and we remained masters of the field of
battle. Their loss has been great,Prisoners
have been taken-say, that the; lost 23 Generalsapd
do superior Officers—Marshal ‘V.F.Bsit and 160
prisoners are in our hands. Our loss has also bees

very considerable•--1100 killed and 3000 WOunde4
—The Duke of Montebello (LasNas) was wood'
ed by a cannon bill in the thigh, on the 29c1 in the
evening. Gen. HIL.LAIRIIis "also wounded. Oa.
Dutiostiat. was killed. The waters of the Danube did
not permit the bridges to be rebuilt during the Pied'
and the Emperor ordered the army to pass the little
arm from the left bank, and so take a position 011
the island of lu•der.Lobau. We aro labouriag tp

till they are replaced,
