In consequence of the intelligence which we gave
in our last, of three French line of battle ships having
dropped down the Scheldt to Flushing, with an in-
tention of putting to sea, Rear-Admiral Lord GARD-
NER, in his Majesty's ship BLAKE, with the REPULSE,
ST. DOMINGO, AUDACIOUS, DANNEMARKE, and THE.
REVS ships of the line, and the CHALLENGER and CAL-
LIOPE sloops, sailed yesterday morning from Deal, to
cruize off Flushing, and watch the movements of the
enemy. Rear-Admiral Sir RICHARD STRACH AN also
proceeds to the Downs to hoist his flag on board the
AMETHYST, in which ship he will sail to join the
squadron off Flushing.

We yesterday mentioned that intelligence had been
received from a Dutch prize, sent into Dover by the
Tiger Revenue-cutter, of another battle having been
fought on the Danube on the 26th ult. which termi-
nated in favour of the Austrians. Soon after our
Paper was put to press, we learnt by the following
letters, that similar accounts had been received at
Leith :
" LEITH, JULY G.

" With great pleasure I inform you that the Quale scherner
has just arrived in the Roads from Heligoland, which place the
left on Sunday last. At it o'slock on that day, the Disratch-
Board arrived from the Continent with the great and joyful nc ws
that the Ar chduke CH A R Lti s had had an engagement with the
Frcuch. He thinks the date of the battle was 25th co- 26th ult.:
that after an awful engagement, the Austrians were swarmed.—
The lou on the side of the French is two Field Marfbals, twenty
GEnerals, killed, and thirty thousand men. I have just seen Mr.
Bo NT HO R N, of the Custom-house boat, who boarded the Fortuna,
from Rotterdam, which place she left on the evening of the 2d,
and says, that accounts hal reached that place, that there had
been battles which lasted three days ; in the end the Austrians
were successful, with great slaughter on both sides. The Cap-
tain of the Quale schooner is positive as to the fact of dispatches
having been forwarded." •
ANOTHER .L.ETTER, SAME DATE.

" A fleet has arrived this morning front Heligoland, which
they left eh Sunday, with the news that accounts had been re-
ceived there of the Archduke having engaged the French on the
26th ultimo, and gained a complete victory, killing two Field
Oflicer3, 23 Generals, and 40,000 killed and tak.:n prisoners.—
Captain Malcolm, of the Delight, of Kirkaldy, who left Heligo-
land six hours after the fleet, says, he saw a copy of a Proclama-
tion from the Archduke for a day of thanksgiving for the victory.
A vessel from Rotterdam is also arrived to-day, and I am In-
formed brings an account of the same kind."

Our letters from Yarmouth, received this morning,
among other articles of Continental intelligence,.
brought to that port by the HAVOC gun-brig, from
Riga, where she had been with a Flag of Truce,
mention a battle reportedto have been fought on the'
28th ult. but state, that the Austrians engaged were
those under the command of the Archduke JOHN.
These letters also repeat another report received from
the above-mentioned prize—that the KING of PRI,TssIA
has actually declared against the French.
We shall lay before our Readers the accounts that
have reached us from Yarmouth, exactly as we have
received them, with only one remark—it is singular
that accounts so similar should have been received
from such different quarters, if they have no founda-
tion is truth :

“ YARMOUTH, JULY 10.

". The Havoc gun-brig which sailed from this port on the 16th
nit, with a ftlessenger, and bearing a Flag of Truce, returned last
night. The accounts brought by this vessel arc briefly as follow :
" On the 28th June a battle was fought between the Austrian
army, commanded by the Archduke .1",311N aryl the French. The
letter baying succeeded some days before in driving the Austri-
ans from Raab, were Making an attempt to push into Bavaria.--
An action followed, and the Archduke JOHN was victorious. The
enemy suffered a great loss in killed, and the Austrians took
some prisoners.

". NA roi fox is dangerously wounded in the shoulder. He is
also reported to have received a wound in one foot, but whether
i.l this action, or in a former one, my informant sayeth nor.
" The King of PRUSSIA, it is confidently asserted, has declar-
ed against BONAPARTE.
" Another statement is also given, which I know not how to
credit—that the celebrated Sc mitt. is still living.
" The above information, whether well or ill-founded, was
received from the present Governor of Riga; who, my informant
remarked, communicated it with a very long fare.
" The intelligence respecting Russia is equally satisfactory.—
One rumour states that a revolution has been effected at Peters
burgh under the direction of the Grand Duke CovsTANTtxs•
Such an event may occur, but I believe the rumour has arisen
from a circumstance of which I regret not being able to furnish
EOM particulars :—The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE was pre-
paring to march, or bad already begun to march with a Russian
army to assist the French in their present struggle with Austria,
when he suddenly stopped his operations, uttering at the same
time some expressions of an ambiguous nature, and which might
be misunderstood by some of those who heard him. The fact
is believed to be this—He intercepted some correspondence of
the enemy, of a complexion very different from what Russia
might have expected, at a moment when she was marching her
armies against Austria—and the march was in consequence sus-
pended. What this may lead to, time alone will be able to sliew.
" Among the evils which at the present moment seem to be
accumulating against Mitrottors, the /Saxons are now in a state
of insurrection."

Our letters from Gibraltar two days ugo enabled
us to announce, that an expedition was preparing at
Sicily, for the purpose of attacking the enemy in the
South of Europe. Before this time the expected ex-

pedition must have sailed. Dispatches were receivea
yesterday evening, at the Foreign Office, from Gene.
ral Sir JOHN STUART, dated the 26th of May, at
which time Sir .JonN was at Milazo, superintending
the embarkation. of an army of nearly '25,000
Composed of British and Sicilian troops. The di spatci:c ;
were brought to Liverpool, from Palermo, by
Ruby, Capt. CUARIE, who left Palermo the Ist L:t. It
was then understood, that the Expedition would sai:
the course of a few days afterwards, as all th. 2
tary stores and provisions had been embarked.
I to be commanded by Sir JOHN S.ruAur in person;
its destination was openly stated to be a point
great distance from the city of NaplT. Lord A.
IiERST was at Milazo with Sir Joiix S rum-J.

. Last night the Hamburgh Correspondent of tht
80th ult. the Journal d. ?Empire of the Ist, and Dutch
papers to the Sth inst. were received. From these
papers it appears that the activity of the Tyrolese. in.
surgents, as the enemy terms them, is truly astonish.
lug ; they are.in motion every where. From Saistel.
den, near Zell, they carried away a municipal officer,
for refusing to provide lead for them. They disarmed
the garrison of Mergentheim, and secured the Corn.
missioner of the King of WIRTEMBERG.
Those in . the more north:A-it parts of Germany are
equally alert. In Cassel, they are discovered to have
maintained a communication, and planned a junctier.
with St:HILL, and since his (reported) death, they
have penetrated into the town of Marburg,
as the -Dutch Papers, probably without truth, state,
by an English Colonel, to whom they give the name
of I?msu All these movements are, of course,
subordimate to the grand and important concerns
upon the Danube, but yet they are not without a due
share of both interest and utility.

The Russian Ukase respecting neutral trade, which
we observed in the Dutch papers received yesterday,
we find to be the same which we gave in our Paper
of the9.6th ult.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the Fo•
reign Office. The greater part of the Members were
present.

Yesterday M. De la VEGA, the late respectable
Deputy from the Province of Asturias, arrived
town. We believe his object is to apply to this Go-
vernment for arms. If the accounts we have received
be correct, 100,000 recruits are kept out of the field of
action from the deficient supply in that essential par-
ticular..

From Cork we learn that the Hanover, Captain
DELANO, has arrived there. She brings intelligence
from New York to the II th ultimo. The Pacinclad
reached her destination on the day preceding.the tie.
pasture of the Har.over, but nothing could theft 'be
ascertained of the effect that would be produced by
the refusal of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY to ratify the
Negociation with Mr. ERSKINE.—The celebrated Tho.
mas Paine..has-igength paid the debt of nature.--
Some fermentation was excited in the Northern St*v•.,,,
in consequence of the numerous desertions from the
United States' army on the Canadian frontier—
Captain Bennett, an American Officer, had ordered one or
these deserters to he pursued into the province of Canada, and in
consequence of the resistance he made, on some of the Canadians
coming up to his assistance, he was shot by the party sent to ap-
prehend hint, who themselves with cliikctity escaped. This af.
lair has given rise to some bickerings between the Governor of
Canada and the American Government."

By a ship which has arrived at Liverpool, we have
obtained a series of Bahama Gazettes, up tO the '4,Cn
May. The 'following are the only articles of OAT
consequence in these papers
• _

" NASSAU, MAT 1.

" The transports, with a detachment of the 7th West-India
Regiment on board, and which put to sea on Saturday, for Ja-
maica, have since returned, in consequence of adverse wiuds, as
has also his Majesty's ship Sandwich. Their ultimate destinatieu
was supposed to be the Bay of Honduras.
" May 24.—We are informed that Colonel Browne frrm S.
Vincent's, the late Superintendant General of the Indian nation,
has presented a Memorial, stating that a quantity of Alm, Hemp,
!'itch, Tar, and Turpentine may be manufactured in the Bahama
Islands, equal to the consumption of all the navy and merchant.
men in the kingdom of Great Britain. This is a matter of so *-
portant a nature as it respects our naval interest, that we hope
every encouragement will be given to the Bahama Planters to fur-
nish those articles, under the uncertainty of supply from the Bal-
tic and the United States.

" The duties at the liavannah are as follow (althouzh the
arrangement is quite concluded, it is not yet publicly notified by
the Cabildo), flour in American vessels, 10 dollars ; in Spanish
six dollars ; rice, hemp, hogslard, and the various kinds of pulse
and vegetables, in American vessels, 50 per cent. and in Spanish
30 per cent. All kinds of linen and silk goods, 2 per cent. and
municipal duties, instead of 36 per cent.; cotton and woolleo
goods, 15 per cent. and municipal duties, instead of 36 per cent.
Deposits of all kinds of produce of the United States are liable
only to one per cent. and the municipal duty."

The MELPOMENE frigate, Capt. FREDERICK WAR •
REN, lately had a severe action in the Great Belt with
20 Danish gun-boats. The frigate being at anchor,
about three or four miles from a most valuable English
convoy, in the middle of the night perceived the boats
pulling towards the convoy, upon which she attacked
them,and an action commenced, which continued with-
out intermission for three hours, when the gun boats
were compelled to sneak into their hiding places ; for
more than to hours it was a perfect calm, and the
ship obliged to remain at anchor, but a breeze spring-
ing up she soon dispersed the enemy. We arc sorry
to add, the loss of the MELPOMENE is not less than 29
wounded, and five killed. _ . .

Captain BARCLAY was pursuing his task at eight
o'clock yesterday morning, in high spirits. Bets arc
now ten to one in his favour. The influx of company
at. Newmarket, during the last week, was such, that a
h4.d could not be had, and the towns within a dozen
miles were filled with the overflow. The horse-racing
began yesterday, and the bustle was greater than ever.
The ground on whieh the Captain walked wJs so
thronged, that his friends had great difficulty to keep
the way clear. •
Ten men and four boys, colliers, were on Friday
se'nnight drowned in two pits„ belonging to Messrs.
LEE and Co. situate at East Ardley, near Wakefield,
by the bursting, it is supposed, of the tunnel of some
old pits lying near, and not now in use. Three lads
who were at the mouth of the pits, on hearing the rush►
ing of the water, climbed up the rope, and alarming
by their cries the men at the top, were fortunately ex-
tricated from their perilous situation.

THE ARMY.

" PORTSMOUTH, YULY le.

fi The constant rain is bad for the soldiers in the
camps. This day part of the 83d and of the Rifle
Corps, came into camp ; to-morrow part of the 9th
Dragoons come in, and the rest on Wednesday ; on
the following days German Dragoons will come.
They talk of embarking on Monday next, and Lord
CHATHAM is expected down about the end of this
week—they look for Lord PAGET to-morrow.
Among the other Colonels who haVe come down
here to sec their regiments embark, and take leave of
them before ;he fine fellows go on service, is General
ENGLAN% the Governor of Plymouth. His regiment,
the sth,
is one of the finest going in the present ser-
bice, and it is headed by one of the best Commanding
Officers in the Army.
Duke of KENT is expected to take leave of
ftis recirnelt, the 3d battalion. of the Scotch Royals.
a To-morrow the battali no collected in the depot
in the Tslepf Wight, and which is commanded by the
gallint Colonel COCHRANE; joins here."

On Saturday last, a Supreme Board was held at
the Royal Military College, High Wycombe, con-
iristing of the Commander in Chief, his Rilyal High-
ness the Duke of KENT, Earl HARCOURT, Lords
GROWENOR and NIARCIIANT, General CALVERT, and
Lieut. Colonel Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS ; before whom,
and in presence of a room full of Officers and Profes-
sors, the following Officers underwent a long exami-
nation in mathematics, fortification, military drawing,
tactics, and the science of position, viz.—

Captain GII/CLEY Stith Regiment..
Captain it GPI,ON "4th Regiment.
Captain VINCENT ...... ........ ..... 82(1 Regiment.
Lieutenant HEXRIES ...... ....... ...... 9th I.t. Dragoons.
Lieuterant CLEDSTANES 68th Regiment.

Having passed to the satisfaction of the Board,
these Gentlenien were ordered to receive the certifi-
cates of their qualifications.
The examination Listed five hours, arid is the first
slate the institution of the College that has been pub-
lic. to all military men.
General BnowNRIGG, the Quarter Master General,
-:"or whose department these Officers are more parti-
cularly intended, was prevented from attending the
Board, being employed in making preparations for
the grand armament fitting out in our ports.

Sir DAVID DCNDAS, with his usual indefatigable
spirit, went from town and returned the same day,
and did nbt appear the least weary or fatigued.
The Army will perceive with great pleasure the
Coma antler in Chief devoting some of his attention
to this important institution. The junior department
cf the College at Marlow has already supplied the
subaltern ranks with many valuable young men, and
this, the senior department, has distributed a good
many useful Officers among the Staff and higher
ranks of the a, my. It is, however, pretty generally
known, that the one and the other of these establish-
merits are susceptible of great improvements. Bat in
proportion as we feel the want of officers properly
instructed in their profession, shall we appreciate the
utility of such establishments; and Government, no
doubt, will consider the expediency of putting the
College on that liberal footing which shall more ef-
fectually secure to the British nation the object for
which they were originally established.
The 77th regiment have marched from Winchester
barracks, on their route to embark at Portsmouth.—
A party of the Northampton Militia have taken the
garrison duty.
The Royal West Middlesex Militia, which was sta-
tioned at Silverhill, marched into Battle barracks oil
Tuesday last.

The t.'?,d battalion of the 96th regiment not being
able to muster 300 effective men, is ordered to proceed
to Jersey, instead of joining the expedition at Ports-
mouth.

The fourth division of the 4th regiment marched
into Deal barracks on Saturday, from Canterbury.
The Ayrshire Militia moved from Eastbourne bar-
rac:s on Wednesday last to Bletchington ; and on the
.a:r.e day, the 2d Surrey removed into East Bourne
barracks from Pevensey.
Thursday, a Court Martial was held at Southamp-
ton, on two privates of the Volunteer Corps, for mu-
tiny. One was pardoned on making a proper apology,
the other was found guilty, and the sentence is laid
before the Commander in Chief.

About 80 gun-boats are fitted out at Sneerness to go
V.ith the expedition, each boat carries two 24-pound-
e7s ; some of the most gallant and experienced Offi-
ctri, in the service are selected to command them.

Gove:..lment have very wisely taken into considera-
fon the distressed situation in which the women and
:Iliidren of our brave defenders would be placed, by
their not being permitted to accompany their husbands
•,n the present expedition, and have ordered, that a
,sertain proportion should be left in the barracks oc-
-...upicd by the respective regiments, and allowed to
o:aw the same allowance as a like number of men,
those beyond the regular proportion are allowed
4. of money for themselves and children, to repair
their homes.

Four comp•- .'es of the Royal Artillery, under the
cimmand of Lieutenant-Colonel Wool), marched
Ito Witham on Friday morning, on their route to
Chatham, where they are to remain until transports
ate ready. Prev:,llis to their leaving the barracks of
Colchester, the excellent Band of the 6th Dragoon.

AMEAICAN coMNIEtct.

We have at lentth room to insert the intetesting document re-
lative to the commercial relations between Atherica and the
Continent of Europe, which we promised on Friday last. It
has been most industriously circulated in France, and was at
first ascribed to the holders of American produce on the Con-
tinent. It has, however, all the intrinsic marks of being a
demi-official precursor of the measures about to be adopted by
France, in consequence of the renewal of our intercourse with
America.

LETTER TO lIIS EXCELLENCY THE COUNT OF
(SUPPOSED TO BE CHAMPAGNY), ON DF.PEALING OF
THE EMBARGO BY THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED
STATES.

PARIS, MAY to,
Your Excellency asks my opinion on the rais-
ing of the Embargo, which has existed more than
a year past in the United States :—I answer, and do
not hesitate to say, That this measure is a master-
piece of its kind, and one of the most dexterous com-
binations that ever came out of the British Cabinet :
it will be easy for me to demonstrate this proposition
to your Excellency.
The shutting of the Sound and of Ti ieste becom-
ing every day more and more inevitable, the English
Merchants were on the eve of being deprived of all
communications with the Continent—lnto divisos erbe
Britannor. The vast prohibitory system, so wisely
conceived by the genius that governs France, was
'about to receive its full measure of completion.
Overstocked with the Merchanclize of the two In-
dies, without any possible vent, their commodities dis-
carded
from the immeree markets of the Continent
• and of America, England was deservedly about to re- ,
ceive the wages of her insatiable avarice, and to sink ,
under the weight of her usurped riches.
What was necessary, then, to save her from this
Crisis, and to enable her to transport to every point
of the globe whence her own flag was excluded, the
enormous quantities of merchandize of every kind
heaped up on the banks of the Thames ?.—The suc-
cour of a people essentially adventurous, active, am-
bitious, possessing an immense mercantile Navy, na-
vigating at a small expence, knowing how to pene-
trate every where, not shrinking from any danger to
satisfy an equal thirst after gold—this succour Eng-
land has just obtained by the raising of the American
Embargo. The last letters from America assert that
this measure was carried almost by open farce, by
the federal, or in other words, the English party. It
is well known, that twas4hirds at least of the American
commerce is carried on with English capital, and for
English account ; hence the vast extent which this
self-called American commerce is about to take, must
definitively turn to the advantage of this very English
commerce, which was on the brink of ruin. Who
then can be duped by the impartiality Congress af-
fects to observe in this Act i—the dullest shop-boy
of London would not suffer himself to be thus im.
posed en.
America demands of both France and England,
that one and the other shall respect her flag ; threa-
tens to shut her ports against either of them that shall
violate her neutrality ; and even to declare war
against that Power. But mark this assertion,—
" France is about to lose the last of her possessions
in the West Indies !" The American people well
know that they had nothing to fear from Fraece, and
that by keeping at a distance from our coasts in Eu-
rope her vessels cannot be touched by us : whereas
England, Mistress of the Seas adjoining the United
States, can strike a powerful blow when she pleases.
It became necessary, therefore, for America to ap-
pear neutral, to find means of satisfying England,
without appearing to submit to her tyrannic preten-
sions; and this is precisely what has been put in prac-
tice, according to authentic information recently re-
ceived.
On the sailing of the packet-boat (the Mentor)
from Net' York, more than one hundred vessels were
loading or had sailed for Holland, where they well
know they Neill not be received, and where they had
no intention of going. Already several have arrived
in England, in defiance of the law of Congress, and
notwithstanding the bonds and security given not
to approach the English coast ; they get themselves
taken by the first English cruizer they meet with,
prove afterwards that the property is English, are
released, and, with a good round oath from the Cap-
tain, they avoid the penalty incurred. When in Eng-
land, they pay the duty fixed by the Orders in Coun-
.
