°TYR ,fitter froM Dover i:tstes, that a great num-
ber 9f Vey li are collef,ting there for the purpose,
as it is,,supposed, of ma't'ing an Attsck upon some of
the Znerny's nirts. Upon'this subje& it would be
improper for us to make any cbservatimm ; We 'shall
therefore only say, that as Sir St.PNL\ SMITH is to
have the 'ci.)rnmand,. every, thing. i 3 to be expe&ed
whieb can be achieved by skill jnd gallantry..

Wit have tins day made some further Extraets
from the Trench and Dutch.l-'apers which arrived in
Town on Sunday night: , We. shall 'not occupy the
time of our'Readers with'eornmenting at any length
upon the various inconsistencies, and contradiaions
,
appear in the French official acoottnts of their
late.*extraordinar and ,Anparalleled successes ; these
inconsistencies and-contradidions are too obvious and
too glaring to escape the observation of the most inat-,
tentlye Jleaders.:—That has succeeded;
by Some nie3ll3 or.othc...i" in nearly annihilating 'the
Grand Austrian Army under the command of Gene,
ral IViakft, is a fad about; which it would be idle to
entertain aiifdeubts,: .We should he. yell unwilling'
to throw out.any observgiouswhich might have the
et eez. of conveying a. charge, either upon the, skill

or upon.the integrity of ~the Austrian Comniander,
*open Alia &guile, evidence which we have before
us. It must be recolleeted, that the only accounts
we, have hitherto received of the disastrous Cam-
paign in Bavaria are those contained iii the French
Papers) pr in those- Under the irnritecliate in-
fluence of France) and therefore it would be tin-
jdst to decide upon the conlan of. General MAcx.
merely upon the authority of thelkench statements.,
But. jf these !St, ternents contain 'army thing the •
semblaece of. truth, it certainly is Very diffitult- to
account tbr the „plan adopted by the Austrian Gene-
ral. ',Why, if he found himself too weak to contend
with the ki'lenai);he did th-it, in the 'first instance, fall
back upon the Inn, by which means his Army Would
have been continuallyreinferced? why he 0' 4i:red the
French to get iri his reir, and thereby to -cutoff his
commueication with the Austrian,Dorninions 2 Why
be obstinately persisted in cooping-up ;his Forces at
Ulm,' in a position in which he ciytild neither attack'
the Enerny e,•ith advantage, nor defend himself
with effe6l.? and, niftily, why, havingcenSentedH
to surrender his.. Army o'n the ilbt.h, he. afterwards
agreed that they shotild lay clown thee arms dn the
gOth ? arc questions which vtle fear Gen. nice will
find it difficult to answer satisfanorily. It is true that
he might have do hope of having the bleekade of Ulm
raised by the 25th, but Surely it was an object of the
greatest importance to keep the French Army em-
ployed as long as possible on that side of Bavaria,
iri order to prevent them from marching towards the
Inn, and attacking the Allies before the whole of the
Russian TrooPsshoula arrive. But it is now useless to
reason upon the subject. The French Army were set
at liberty on the aorh, and there can be no doubt but
that they commenced their march as soon as possible
towards the other extremity of Bavaria. But While we
sincerely deplore the disasters which our Ally hassus-
tabled, we by no means incline to feel any thinglike
,despondency, or to sittripo3e that the fate of the Cam-
paign is finally determined: It is absurd to suppose
that the French can have achieved the total destruc-
tion of the AuStrian Army with the loss of fifteen
houired men. It is true that ;the .Official Bulletins
do not mention any very obstinate Anions: but the
Letters arum the -Seat of War; Of Which there arc
several in the unofficial French Papers, all concur in
suiting that there wore many severe engagements
on many points of the. Austrian Line, in which
the Austrian TroopS fought with their usual
.kirallantry and perseverance. In these the French,
though they ultimately succeeded, must have
suffered' _considerably, because it will be recol-
lened that the fOrrner fought.,in intrenchrnents A
