LINTZ, JUNE 8.

The head-quarters of the Duke of Dantzic, and of
the Prince Royal Lewis, are still here. Nothing of
importance has of late taken place in our neighbour-
hood. The Austrians, commanded by General Count
Kollowrath, continue in their entrenchedcamp on the
left bank of the Danube. The brave Bavarians wish
to advance. The Emperor Napoleon is either prepa-
ring some decisive blow or negociations are carried on.

MUNICH, JUNE 9.
The Empexpr of Austria is said to have requested
the mediation of Russia, and offered to purchase
peace of France and hei allies, even at the expence of
sacrifices by no means inconsiderable. The confirma-
tion of this piece of intelligence is anFiously expected.

11111/1 le.
Yesterday morning, an Austrian corps from 8
10,000 men strong, arrived here very unexpectedly
from Bohemia, after it had previously fallen in, a few
miles from this capital, with a Saxon corps, comman-
ded by Colonel Thileman, Adjutant-General to his
Majesty the King of SaxOny. This officer marched
from hence with about 3000 men, the whole of our
disposable force, as soon as he received advice of the
Austrians having made their appearance on the fron.
tiers of Saxony to reconnoitre their strength. De.
ceived by a treacherous spy, who reported the Aus.
trians to be only 600 strong, he advanced too far,
and found his corps on a sudden on all sides surroun.

to the enemy's vast superiority in numbers, after the

and carried the unpleasing intelligence to Leipsic,

this i
night followed by the whole corps, with the sole el..
ception of the regiment of Erbach, which forms at
present the garrison of this town. The Austrians
keep the strictest discipline, and all the Royal build-
ings are provided with safeguards.
JUNE 15.—The Austrian troops, who very tines.
pectedly entered this city on the 11th of June, from
five till nine o'clock in the evening, under the orders
of General Am Ende, amounted to 12,000 men ;
for this number at least provisions were immediately
required. They approacheskour territory undiseovered
by almost impervious roads, through a mountainous
track of country, and advanced against this place by
Dippoldiswalde, with eleven pieces of cannon. As
the van of this corps only consisted of some hundred
hussars, and some hundred foot, Colonel Thileman,
who occupied a- position in the environs of Korbitz,
misled by a spy, and unacquainted with the real
strength of the enemy, resolved to surprise the above
small corps in the night between the 11th and 14th
instant, at three o'clock in the morning, and take the
Austrian troops prisoners of war. In consequence
an action ensued between the advanced parties, which
alarmed the Austrians found in this place, A corps
was detached against the Saxons, who were at the
same time attacked in the rear by another colum of
Austrian troops, newly arrived. The Saxon corps,
3000 strong, with 16 pieces of cannon, fell back into
the environs of Witzdorf, took a position in a small
wood, and was still defending itself early the next
morning ; the final result is not yet known in this
place. We learn, however, that another column of
the enemy's troops has taken the road to Leipsic.
After the arrival of the Austrian troops, a procla,
motion was issued by their. Commander in Chief, Cie.
neral Am Ende, addressed to the Saxons.
BRUNSWICK, JUNE 17.4
On the 14th inst. part of the Austrian troops who
arrived from -Bohemia took possession of Lgpsic.
The Duke of Wirtembe:rg-Oels is said to have arrived
in Halle.
BOHEMIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 2.
The Archduke Ferdinand has retreated from Galp
licia by Austrian Silesia. He seemed inclined to
make an irruption into defenceless Saxony, and would
have done so, but for the strict orders received from
the Archduke Charles to join him with his whole
army as speedily as possible ; the latter endeavours
to cover both Bohemia and Moravia by the ,position
which he has taken up near Vienna.
VIENNA, JUNE 7, . -
In addition to the convents, several Inge POUR
aces, such as that of the Aulic Board, of Finance,
have been prepared for the reception of the sick and
wounded. On the 31st nit. It heavy anchors, ae.
rived from Styria, were removed to Eberscforf ; they
are destined to secure the new bridges, thrown across
the Danube. Scaling ladders have also been put in
a state of-requisition ; and it is said to be under con.
sideration, to attempt taking the Austrian entrenched
cemp in Marchfield by ressault. Preparations are
made in three different plates to cross the Danube,
near Ebersdorf, Tabor, and Nusedorf. Part of the
Austrian armyhas W.:en post at Petweil, three stages
from hence on the road to Presburgh. -For these fast
eight days incessant skirmishes have taken place in
that quarter.

Dutch Papers of Mondaylast have been rectos*
They contain the eighteenth Bulletin 9f the Fiefigi
army, dated at Vienna on the 13th instate-ftinis
which it appears that the French Emperor vines.ll.l;
either unwilling or unable to cross the Danube to ate
tack the Austrians.

We have also received Hamburgh Corr:span-
dentens to the 22d. They confirm the intelligence
of the successes of the various Austrian corps which
are in motion in detached parties in Saxony and itt
the Tyrol—.the operations of these armed bodies have
evidently excited considerable alarm on the part of
the FKench, as a proof of which we may add that
fresh troops are continually pouring into the seat 4
war from France and its dependencies.
The Puma, which arrived on Tuesday nt Ply.
mouth, spoke several neutral vessels from France,
the masters of which informed her, that all the French
privateers had been laid up, and their crews sent to
• the French armies.

J oin -
Letters from Hoßan], received yesterday, state,
that the Conscription has met with great resistance.
In several of the provincers conscripts have assem-
bled, and positively infused to march. Threats have
been usedagainst them, but asßostarawrs has drain d
the country of regular troops, it is doubted whether

the Dutch Government has the means of forcing them
to join the armies in Germany. The same letters
state, that several English and American ships have
lately been condemned at Riga.
Copious extracts from the Dutch and German
Journals will be found in another part of our Paper.
The following Extract of a Letter from Memel,
seems to give the negative to the rumour that Prus-
sia had declared against France:—

" MEMEL, MAY 29.

t, Ws: has now actually been declared by our Government
against Austria, ant a Russian army is marching through East
Prussia against the corps of the Archduke FERDINAIk:D, who is
retreating from the Vistula. The King of PRUSSIA remaire neutral,
and seems to be entirely influenced by the Russian Government."

It is added in this letter, " In case no alteration should take
place in the Russian harbours, the imports as well as export,
would be attended with great difficulty, since the papers and do-
cuments of every cargo must be sent to St. Petersburgh for exa-
mination."

We have received intelligence of a very recent date
from the new residence of the Portuguese Govern-
ment, by which we learn that LINIERS still retains his
authority at Buenos Ayres.

RIO JANEIRO, APRIL s.

All trade to the River Plate hitherto unlawful is
still interdicted, and it is supposed that the Gover-
nors of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video are waiting
orders on the.subject from the existing Government
in Spain ; in the mean time, by licences granted by
the Viceroy Liniers, and by smuggling, a vast quan-
tity of goods are introduced.
As soon as the embargo is taken off in America,
a great many vessels are expected here from that
country, and no doubt, among other articles, they
will supply us with flour of better quality, and
cheaper, than comes from Rio Grande.
The valuation of certain descriptions of goods un-
derwent some alteration since the arrival of the Con-
sul-General, who called in certain persons, supposed
to be welbinformed on the value of goods ; but a
great deal was, perhaps unavoidably, left undone,
which it is hoped will be accomplished, and every
thing ratified by a treaty of commerce, said to be in
great forwardness between this Court and Great Bri-
tain. The business of the custom-house is by no
means more tedious than it was at Lisbon, and in this
respect we have not the least complaint to make.
The Exchange was at 73 to 75.

Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY ar-
rived at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor, where
he W.IS received by the Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND,
KENT,' SCNSEX, and CAMBRIDGE. SOOll after two
o'clock his MAJESTY held a Private Levee.

Th.:, following had the honour of being presented
to his MAJESTY :
Colonel FREEMAN, upon his being appointed Lieutenant Colo•
gel Commandant of the Ist regiment of Royal Bucks Local
Militia.

The Ray. Dr. SeARR a, the Dean of Bristol, upon his intended
promotion 'to the Bishoprick of Chester.
Lieutenant Colonel MAX of the 26th regiment, upon his
going with the Expedition, by the Marquis of Huntley.
Lieutenant General D. D. WE ma's s, upon his appointment to
the Government of Tynemouth.
His MAJESTY gave audiences to the Duke of PORT-
LAND, the rest of the Cabinet Ministers, and Sir DA-
VID DIX-DAs.

• It is Again asserted, in letters from Stralsund, that
&amt. is not dead, but that he was severely wounded;
went over to Ifugen, and got on board a sloop of war
that was waiting for him.
The inhabitants of Portsmouth and its vicinity feel
much indebted to Lord COCHRANE for his promised
motion relative to the state of the Garrison ; for dur-
ing the summer months the stench arising from the
stagnated water in the ditches is intolerable ; and when
it is known, that a supply of water sufficient to cleanse
them, twice in twenty-four hours, can be lead without
any trouble whatever, it is matter of surprize that
Parliamentary 'interference is at all necessary.

CITY BUSlNESS.—Yesterday, a Court of Common
Council was held at Guildhall, which was fully atten-
ded.—The-Committee of City Lands presented a re.
tort for exchanging a parcel of ground in St. George's
Fields for the scite of Bethlem Hospital, now on lease
to the Governors, which was read, stating that the Go-
vernors would erect an hospital (upon the spot where
the late Dog and Duck stood) to contain no less than
'OO patients, together with an open space of about
eight acres for air and exercise for the lunatics; which
~vas agreed to, and it was referred back to the Com-
mittee to carry the exchange into execution. After
considerable debate, it. was referred to a Special Com-
mittee to report-the best means by which the services
of the two regiments of London Militia may be trans-
ferred to 'his Majesty's use and controul, and to pre-
pare a Bill, for the consideration of the House of
Commons, wholly to repeal the Act of the 36th of
his present Majesty, authorising. the raising
.of the
two regiments of militia, and to enable the regiments,
:.fter such repeal, to offer their extended services to
his Majesty upon such terms and conditions as his
Majesty may graciously please to propose, and as the
officers and privates may be inclined to accept.

At a General Court Martial held at Hilsea Bar.
tacks on the 27th March, and continued by adjourn-
ments to the 3d of April, Lieutenant JOHN PArrox,
of the 4,3 d regiment of foot, was tried for unofficer-
like conduct :
Ist. In absentirg himself, without leave, from the Martha
era sport, on which ship he was ordered with a detachment of the
41d Regiment.

2d. By endeavouring to tamper with and persuade Corporal
William Dixon, of the Durham Militia, who was sent from
Hilsea Barracks to Por•smouth by order of the Coraniandant,
with an ofEcial letter to him to return to his quarters at Hilsea,
to take back the letter, and say that he had not seea him, aad
could not find him.

3d. In quitting Hi'sea Barracks, for the purpose of embarks•
tion, when in debt to a poor widow woman, that lets lodgings,
3s. sd, and to others.

The Court found the Priscner guilty of all the charges, attl
a'ludged hint to be CasAiera wlich sentence his Majesty has
pleased to confirm.

This morning John Sutherland, she Mastet of a
?.ransport, who was convicted on Friday at the Old
of the murder of his cabin-boy, was executed,
.::rsuant to his sentence, At Execution Duck.

•••

Troops are pouring dowmon Deal, Ratnsgate, and
Portsmodth, the three great points of embarkation ;
they will be encamped for a short time, till every thing
is ready, and then embark.
We are glad to see a proposition which we have
more than once thrown out now about to be acted on.
A great many men of war aie to be armed en flute
to Convey the troops, for example, 20 of the class of
74 guns, each carrying 600 troops, will at once con-
vey a force of 12,000 men, complete, with their staff,
Iguns, ammunition, &c. We shall not thus again see
part of a corps arriving, another detained, the guns
without ammunition, or ammunition without guns.
—Another material advantage gained will be,
that the Expedition will not be detained, as expedi-
tions always have been, by heavy-sailing transports ;
that they cover their own landing ; that there can be
no risk of capture ; and all will arrive together. We
trust that no jealousy of any Boards or Heads of De-
partments, will be allowed to obstruct a measure so
obviously for the benefit of the public.
It is reported, in the highest military circles, that
Lord CHATHAM goes out as Commander-in-Chief
and, among others, we believe the following General
Officers go :—The Marquis of Huntley, Sir Eyre
Coote,:lord Rosslyn, Sir John Hope, M'Kenzie
Fra2er, Grosvenor, William Stewart, Charles Hope,
Graham 90th, Sir Wm. Erskine, Sir Samuel Auch-
muty, Dyott, Spencer, Ferguson, Thewles, Ward;
Brigadiers Hewson, Terrott, Whitelocke, Brown,
Disney, Auckland, and Rottenburgh.

Lieutenant-General Buov,Nattor arQuarter-Master-General.
Major-General M'Lton of the Artillery, as Adjutant-General.
JOHN THOMSON, Esq. Deputy Commissary General.
Dr. REDMOND, Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals.

Mr. SPROULE, from the Guards, to be Provost Marshal.

Sir EYRE COOTE and the Marquis of HUNTLEY have
set off from town to join the Expedition at Portsmouth.
In the division of the Grand Army to be embarked
in the Downs, there will be several regiments of Ca-
valry—of Infantry there go a brigade of Foot Guards,
under General DISNEY, and the Highland Brigade
under General GRAHAM, of Balnagowan ; the 42d
goes in this brigade. From the same quarter there
likewise go

2d, or Queen's Regiment, 2d Battalion.

95th, some Companies.

We now hear that it is probable the troops embark-
ing'at different ports, willall rendezvousatPortsmouth,
which will form one grand army of from 30 to 40,000
Englishmen. Different destinations are talked of—
Hamburgh, Cronstadt, the coast of Holland, of Ca-
talonia, France, and Flushing. In the latter port
BONAPARTE has twenty sail of the line, all new.
A constellation of Naval Heroes go with the Expe-
dition, Sir RISHARD STRACHAN, Admiral STOPPORDI
Admiral OTWAY, Sir R. KEATS, and the gallant
COCI-IRANE. Various names are handed about as a
Commander-in-Chief.

General GRENVILLE is going down to Portsmouth,
to see the 2d battalion of his fine regiment, theWelch
Fuzileers, embark for service.

" PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 23.

" Yesterday morning that fine regiment the Fifeshire
Militia, commanded by Major RUTHERFORD, marched
from Hilsea, and embarked in transports prepared for
them. The Earl of MORTON, their Colonel, who had
come down from London to see his regiment, re-
mained on the beach till the last boat went off. Be-
fore the Fifeshire left Portsmouth, General WHETHAM,
the Lieutenant-Governor, returned the most hand-
some thanks in orders to both officers and men, for
their conduct while they have been in this qua: ter of
the kingdom.
" As all the troops to Le embarked here, and even
all the horses are to be conveyed in men of war, the
numerous transports which have been here for some
time have been ordered to the Downs, by Captain
DALTON—and sail to-morrow under convoy of the
Dapper.

The Escort gun-brig, having under convoy the
96t1: regiment, and detachments for different regi-
ments in Jersey and Guernsey, sails to-morrow..

The Ist Light Battalion of the King's German
Legion now at Bexhill, received its- route on Tues-
day, and will march on Friday and Saturday.—The
2d Battalion will follow on Monday and Tuesday,
