ANOTHER LETTER-DATED OCTOBER 31.

Advices from Austria acquaint us, that the Atli-
trian armies are breaking up in the vicinity of di!
Danube ; and they add, that the French armies art
not expected hastily to withdraw from Vienna.
The magnificent fortifications constrncted under
the direction of Bonaparte. in the ciiy, :lad on the ri
ver adjacent, were destroyed on the 16:h.
We have had no garrison here for nearly the last
month, excepting some military donanieri, but troops
to a comiderable number are expected soon.
General Dumas is at Altona.

PRIVATE LETTEP.-BOURDEAUX, OCTOBER 25.
A great many troops have passed through this city
on their way to Spain. Yesterday, 15,000 men,
marched through the town on the same destination,
and in the whole, it is computed, that nearly 40,000
have proceeded from heucc through Gascony and
Guienne, to the I'vrenee.

Spanish prisoners are da:ly escorted here. Five
hundred men, some of them badly Wounded, came in
the day before yesterday, and several parties of them
have been sent northward. They have been chiefly
taken in the guerrillas, or skirmishes, which is the
mode of warfare the Spaniards have now adopted.
Several Noble families of Spain have gone through
here on their journey from Madrid. It supposel
that the purpose of their visit to France is, to pay
their respects to the Emperor on his return to his ca.
pital, but many imagine that if such be their design,
they will be disappointed, and that Napoleon wilt
have taken his departure to re-enter Spain at the head
of a powerful army.
We have heard very little from the interior of Spain,
but what has been communicated is rather favourable
to our cause than otherwise.

By an American vessel arrived at Dover from
Dieppe, French p4pers have been received to the Ist
inst. hut their principal contents have been anticipated
by the Dutch papers received yesterday. The Mo-
niteur contradicts the rumours that were so generally
prevalent respecting the indisposition of the French
Emperor. By the statements of the passengers by
the above vessel, it appears, that in France the reports
were more strange on this point than any thing cir-
culated elsewhere. Indeed, when this vessel left
Dieppe, it was still affirmed that NAPOLEON is in a
state of derangement—so much so that, instead of
of writing his own name to documents presented to
him for signature, he writes "Alexander"—" Casar"
;--." Pompey," and other names. We attach no cre-
dit to these reports.

To an article copied'from the STAR, stating a ru-
mo'tr that NAPOLEON had called off his troops from
the neighbourhood of Antwerp to reinforce the French •
army on the Danube, the Moniteur subjoins the fol-
lowing Note
Here, we have a new piece of absurdity I Who
will belicve that thcre is not a sufficient force on the
Danube to oppose the Austrians, or that it is neces-
sary to bring reinforcements from Antwerp ? The
months of October and November being most deadly
in the Isles of Zealand, it is quite natural in the
French Generals to allow the English army to waste
itself Cy moitondre) as a sacrifice to imbecility and
ignorance, while the former place their cantonments
in commodious towns and healthful districts."
