We yefferday Rated, that on board a boat drifted
from the harbour of Boulogne, which was picked up
by the les worrat.yrs frigate, was found a letter, an-
nouncing the defeat of the Auftrian Army. We have
fine learnt that the packet was addreffed thus :
" The Commodore of the Engtilh Squadron" and on the
envelope were the words, "The Commodore Rosin hat
the plenfitre to inform the Commodore of the EttglithSquadron
of thin good newt."
In the envelope was a paper, upon which was
written, in large letters, on one fide :
" L' Arm,: fitarichietrne, forte de cent tnille kortmee, eft
detruite. Le Gen. en Chef Hier luirsime ft fait primer
Uhn, et le Prince FIRDINAND sff en faits."
The following tranflation was given on the other
fide:

" The army of the AuMans, Prong of one hun-
dred thonfand, is no more. The General in Chief
MAC[ is himfelf a prifoner in Ulm, and Ptince rya-
DINAND is put to flight."
We shall now Rate what further particulars have
reached us refpelling the armies, derived from private
fources, and from flitch journals, which have v.snie
to hapd to the 27th inflant.

A Gentleman, who arrived in town yellerday, from
Amfterdam, which place he left lan Fo iddy, Rates,
that oft the preceding Wednefday letters were re-
ceived in that city, from Officers belonging to the
French army under tloe command of General BLit Lt-
Dorrr, giving an account of that army having been
attacked and defeated by a fuperior number of Rd-
liana t and that Generals Bosuns., GROUCHY, and
VeCNBAUD, fell in the anion, and Generals Mat.
MONT and DIMONCIAU were among the wounded.
He further Rates, that the regiment of Waldech, con-
fitting of Dutch troops under the command of Bet-
anorra, was entirely cut to pieces. On Friday, the
day be left Amfterdam, no communication of the
engagement had been made known, which led to a
belief there that the French had met with a total
defeat.

It is not unlikely that fuch a rumour might bare
prevailed, on the day Rated, at Amsterdam ; but
the account contains tome cniftakes, which, much u
we mould with to hear it confirmed, difpofe us to
doubt its accuracy altogether. General &tumour.
who is Rated to have been wounded in the anion with
the Ruffians, was not with the corps which was
punted on to Munich undcr BERNADOTTE.
A reference to the Nib Bulletin will thew, that he
commanded a divifion of the main army, and that'
he was making forced marches on the math inflant,
to occupy the heights of Illertheim in front of the
Auftrian pofition. And, befides all this, the Dutch
Papers of a later date than the day he left Angler-
dam, do not even Rate a rumour of the above kind.

As to the events that have taken place at Ulm,
we find nothing official refpeiting them in the jour-
nals that have reached us, owing probably to the in.
tcrruption of the communications with Strafborgh
and the French frontier. It appears, however. now
to be certain that on the 15th a moR fevere engage.
ment was fought by the corps of the French army in
the neighbourhood of Ulm, and the Auftrians there.
The battle continued the whole day ; but at lalt 80.
WART a arrived in perfon with reinforcements, and
the French carried all the works which furround the
place. It is pretty evident, however, that they did
not, in the firft inflance, carry Ulm itfelf.
A private letter was yefterday received by a French
Officer in the royal fervice in London, from an Auf-
trian Officer of rank, in which it is Rated, 44 That
" although the French were ultimately fuccefsful in
" carrying the works, yet in the night General MAC lc
" was able to evacuate the place in petted order, and
" that the French had fuffered fo much, that for two
" days they did not purfue him." The Aufirian
troops never fought more gallantly upon any °co-
fion.

This account feems probable when compared with
every thing we find in the various Journals before us
from all parts of Germany. It appears certain that the
adion was extremely bloody. Nay we think it likely
that previous to the attack of the t yth, the French may
have been repulfed. Some private accounts fay that the
(laughter amounted to between 20 and 30,000 on both
fides. The Foreign Papers fay that the French Gt.:
ner als BOVDET and Gaoucni, both very dillinguiffieff
Officerb, were killed, and General VioNot.t.es had '-
both his legs !hot off. Some accounts add Maamoor
and Muter to the lift of killed. More than twenty
fuperior Officers were killed on the fide of the French.
But dearly as the French mull have purchifed this
fuccefs, it is doubtlefs very important ; becanfe the
Aufirian pofition upon the Iller, is, by the lots of
Ulm, its chief poi's: d'attri, thereby deflroyed, and
the corps on the left bank of the Danube, under the
Archduke F2IDINAND, in perfon, as is timed, muff
be cot off from the main body of the army. They
cannot be in force greatly to incommode the grand
French army, though they intercept the communica.
Lion with Strafburgh.

Ilk be true that General Macc evacuated Ulm ou
the night of the battle, we thould imagine that he
mull have tried to proceed to Memmingen, becaufe
if be had gone to the left bank of the Danube, it
mull have been known at Stutgard, Franckfort, &c.
from which there are various letters of the aoth and
T7th; but, if he went towards Memmingen, his
march might not be known in Franconia. Indeed
the events which have pallid between the armies
!ince the affair of Guntzburgh, on the toth, Item as
yet to be imperfeetly known, even in places reared
the fcene of aftinn.

But, however pleading it is to find that the French
have not only exaggerated the loins of the Autlrians
but diminithed their own, we fear it is but too cer-
tain, that they have, upon the whole, been too fuc-
cefsful. The occupatbn of Ulm, as a point which gives
them a command of the Ault; ian pofition on the Iller,
and Rill feparates them from the luccours they expea-
ed, is of the utmoft importance to BONAPAATE. If
General Macs proceeded to Memmingen, he mutt
have laid his account with being again attacked
lin a pofition lefs capable of refinance, and in doing
fo we cannot help thinking that he loft his onlychance
of efcape. If he went to the left Bank of the Danube
into the Upper Palatinate, he was completely cepa-
rated from all the points of cupport, and could cfcispe
the purfnit of the enemy only by a flight, but then
he might have brought away force part of hi, army.
Perhaps, indeed, he had no choice after 1,71. n was
taken but so withdraw, the only outlet left by the
French being between him and Franconia.
From the accounts before 1,.. it appears, that while
i a p; inci.sl Fan of the F:etteh army was occupied in

the attack of Ulna, BMADull'', with a very large'
division, was employed on the fiontiers of Bavaria,
towards the Inn, watching the advance of the Auf-
trians. 0! the corps of the French army engaged at
Ulm, there teems to have been the cavalry of referve
under Musav, the corps of Mai fhal LASHES, the
Gallo Batavian army under MARMONT, and probably
part of SOULT'S and NEY'S divifions. The Im-
perial Guard were alfo there. From this army part
of the detachments have matched along the Lech,
towards the paffes of the Tyrol, by Fuelfen, Schott-
gau, &c. To prevent the chance of the Auflrians,
tatty encamped on the Iller, foteing their way back
through Bavaria, the French have thrown up entrench-
ments on the Lech.

While thefe operations have been going on upon
a‘ie 111er and the Lech, Marthal BERNADOTTE pnr-
ft‘ed the corps of the Auftrian General Kr ENMAYER
through Munich, where he atrived on the 12th. It
is this corps of General KIENMAYSR, amounting to
almoli t 2,c00 men, that the Ruffians have joined, and
not the main army, as has been erroneoufly fuppofed.
But even that junftion could not have been fo early as
the t2i h. BF RNA tocryr a transferred his head quarters
from Munich towards the Inn, and his advanced
pens were on that river. The head quarters were at
'Weilheirn, and different corps at Hohenlinden, Paff-
horn, &c.
Letters from Ratiffion, of the I6th fay, that the
corps of the French Army advancing to meet the
Ruffians was sio,cco men, while that on the Lech
and tiler was 80,000 : a tnonftrous exaggeration.—
BONA PARTS could not march in fufficient force againft
the Ruffians till General MACK'S army was difpofed
of ; and if that was not done before the 2oth, there is
great reafon to hope that the Ruffians, with the
wreck of the army of Suabia and fuch reinforcements
as could be collated, would be able to maintain
themfelves on the Inn. We have no idea that Bea-
waoorrs's corps, though very (hong, was of itfelf in
force to meet them, tinlefs they advanced without
confideration, But if BONAPARTE has fucceeded in
difperfing or deftrnying MACK'S army, be will then
turn upon them with fuperior numbers.
The report of AUDRREAU'S Army from Breit hav-
ing croffed the Rhine at Fiuninguen, teems untrue.
It has arrived on the Upper Rhine, and fume regi.
Trims of cavalry have reached Manheim. He is
going therefore through Suabia, to fupport the ope-
rations in that quarter.
: There. details refer, however, to events prior to
thole alluded to in the reports from Boulogne, and
alfo in letters from Holland, as we mentioned yeller-
day. If there be any truth in the latter flaw.
menu, the Auftrians were again defeated on the
=9th, arid on that day General Mace and his Staff,
were made prifoners. Exaggerated as the loffes of
the Anfirians may have been, there can be no doubt
that the army in Suabia has been almoß deftroyed.
The Bulletin from Boulogne undoubtedly referred to
a fuccefs fubfequent to the 15th. We fear, therefore,
that the total defeat of General MACK is certain.

It is Ilited in letters from Vienna of the loth, that
the Emperor of RulEa was expelled there on the t zth.
from Italy no certain accounts are yet received,
though the reports of bloody battles in the Italian
Tyrol fill prevailed, and had been received from
different quarters.
