patched on the 3d by Extraordinary Couriers to other

have been enabled to insert, in this Extraordinary
Cizette, some 'farther in respeCting this
glorious and decisive battle : and, in case the French
post, which shOuld arrive this afternoon, brings any
accounts, we shall fOrthwith communicate, either
the whole, or their sUbStance, in our 4th page, so far
as the pressure Of time May 'render such a coMMU-
.nication practicable.

of the pacific dispositions of his Majesty, hitherto so
uniformly persevered in, and calling on them, in
ease of fur eniergency; to support their King and

the hope of Peace, so long and fondly cherished, is
to be completely terminated.- -

Kurnsow, upon its arrival on the Banks of the Inn,
consisted only of 30,000 ; but being joined by
10,000 more in Lower Austria, amourift7d to 40,000.
Sinathe opening of the campaign, this Army has
lost 18,000 men, in killed, wounded, and prisoners,

men.

The,Army of General MicneLsoll is said to con-
sist likewise of 30,000 men; the first columns have

division; commanded by MICHELaON in person, has
not yet joined the =Allies, having; by sonie error in
the arrangements of the Combined Cabinets, taken
