No official details have yet arrived from the Con-
tinent, nor have any Dutch or French papers of later
dates than thole which arrived two days ago come to
hand. We are therefore Rill without the mean; of
nice/tatting the degree of credit due to the /rations
reports that have been circulated refpeaing the armies.
Many frefh rumours were again circulated yefter-
day aft.. loon and this morning. One letter from
Holland, dated on Sunday lall, Rates loofely, that
there was a feries of anions between the Anltrians
and French until the zxd, on which day General
Mace croffed the Danube, and retreated into Fran-
conia; that both armies Curtained great inf. in there
different anions, but the French, from their fuperio-
rity in numbers, were ultimately foccefiful ; and that
an anion had taken place between the Ruffians and
General BIRIOADOTTeII divirion, in which the latter
was completely defeated.
Another letter mentions the reported anion be-
tween the Ruffians and French, with the additional
circumßance that Bon araars and MURAT were pre-
fent—a circomflance that goes to diferedit the whole
account. Indeed it is hardly poffible, that accounts
of fo recent a date as tome of the letters Rate, could
be received from the fcene of aftion.
The general opinion is, that the principal action'
between the French and General MACK'S army took
place on the loth, as we have before had occafion to
flate ; and we are very apprehenfive that, though it
may turn out that the fuecefs of the enemy has been
exaggerated, yet it will be found that the Auflrians
have experienced a dreadful difafter. It would, how-
ever, be ridiculous to indulge in conjeaures on a rub-
jeff of fuch magnitude. A few hours will probably
bring us official accounts from one or ether of the
armies, which will put an end to the prefent Rate of
uncertainty.
