On Siiturday dispatches were received at Mr. CAN-
WING'S Office from Mr. STUART, who- is with the
Archduke CHARLES, dated the sth instant; and at
the sanie time Prince STA EIREMBERG received dispatches
from his Court, dated from Stramberg, the 4th inst.
Had their contents been favourable, they would have
been suffered to transpire before this time ; but all that
is publicly circulated is, that the Archduke CHARLES,
having reinforced the army of General BELLEGARDE
with 22 battalions, was still at the head of 160,000
men.

There are, however, later accounts in town from
the Austrian army, of which the following version is
circulated :—" The army of General HILLER, ex-
ceeding 50,000, was, on the 6th, posted near lezels-
derf, on the borders of Moravia, in a condition to act
either with the Grand Army, or the Hungarian Masse.
General BELLEGARDE, reinforced by forty thousand
men from Bohemia and Moravia, has taken a strong
position behind the Raeibruze. The Saxon army,
under the orders of BERNADOTTE, advanced from
Roetz, on the ith, to Waldmunchen, and on the 9th
entered Bohemia, at Pledankia. P.‘vousT had pre-
viously taken the sam• route, and on the 10:h is
head quarters were at Stankau, while [lnas AnoTre.
was a league behind, at Teinitz. General PA:l.e-
GARDE must either consent to a battle or 3h;,nti. it
Pilsen. The rlungarim insurrection army i, very
where in motion. On the 6th of May the rna-s of
three P.slatinates were on their route to Moravia.
—The Archduke JOSEPH, Palatine of Hungary, has
issued a summons 'to the whole male population of
the kingdom capable of hearing arms, to immedi-
ately join his standard : 130 waggons, crowded with
wounded French, arrived at Augsburgh on the 2d
instant. Another escort, ecurally numerous, arrived.
on the sth, and it is computed, that during the pre-
ceding fortnight, the wounded French, Bavarian, and
\Virtemberg trooFs conveyed thither, exceeded four-
teen thousand men. From the north of Germany the
accounts continue to be favourable. The enterprize
of Colonel Scleme has assumed a most formidable
and promising aspect. His detachments entered
through Hanover and Hesse, and he appears to avail
himself most ably of the increasing spirit of insurrec-
tion in that part of the Continent."
It is our duty to communicate such statements as
the above to our Readers, but they weigh little when
cow.rasted with the official details of the enemy, which
come down to a later date. On Saturday we laid
before our Readers the details respecting the occupa-
tion of Vienna by the French, and this day we add
the documents that were annexed to the on pub-
lication.

Some of our contemporaries bl:tme the Archduke
MAXIMILIAN for exposing a defenceless city even for
an hour to the horrors of a bombardment—other: of
them execrate the people for not having stood forward
to defend their own families and habitations ! But
this alters not the issue or the consequences which it
threatens. To Britain the lesson ought to be the same.
You cannot save such men—Save yourselves ! Nur:e
your own resources, nor waste your own physical
strength !

Hamburgh Papers of the 19th have been received :
they contain a pompons description of the prepara-
tions made at Vienna to resist the entrance of the
French, and would have furnished an entertaining
column for a London Xewsp:%pe: previous to the arri-
val of the Seventh French Bulletir...—voN Scrum.
still keeps together a formidable force; he is said to
be forcing his way to the sea coast of Mecklenburgh,
in order to open a communication with the British.

A letter from Penzance, received this morning,
mentions the arrival there of the PLOVER, from a
cruize-; and that on Wednesday last the PLOVER
spoke spolc.: a s'aip from Cadiz, which informed her that
Madrid was in the hands of the Spaniards.—WE have
no accounts fro's, any ether quarter to invalidate or
confirm this rumonr.

On Saturday at four o'clock, P. M. Captain 'NNE%
of the Mvanr. sloop of war, arrived at the Admiralty,
with dispatches from the fleet off the coast of p.m_
gal. We nnderstAnd that they contain information
that Marshal SOULT had altered the direction of his
retreat, and instead of proceeding towards 'l'ralos.
Montes, fearful of meeting with General BERESF9RD,
and tho force in the vicinity of Chaves, he had pro.
ceeded North, towards Galiicia. From the last ac-
counts of the situation of the army of General :to-
NANA, it is highly probable, that he will find the
passes of that mountainous province pre-occupied b 7
the patriots. _ _ _

morning We received Portuguese papers to the
17t'.•i instant, but their contents add but little to what
was before known.

" LISBON, ),Ititi 16.
ig The English entered Oporto on Friday last, and

the French have retired to Volengo, about two leagues

to the East of Oporto, where they are eontpktely
surrounded. No official account has as yet been rca

, .
-ceivetcli but our loss has been but trigtag. General
M'lcenzie's brigade remains at Thomar, to be in 4a-
dittess to adopt any measures that may be tendered
necessary by the movements of General Victor s ar-
my, which is at present, however, completely blocked
up in the South by General Cuesta, and seems to have
no more chance of escaping than those in the North.
" Authentic letters from Lamego of the 9th inst.
state that the PortugUese are in possession of Peko de
Pugoa, and other positions on the other side of the
Douro, so that the passage of that river is perfectly
open to our army. No action has as yet taken place.
The rumour of battles which are said to hike been
fought are therefore unfounded.
" The Captain of a vessel, which on the 12th inst.
arrived from Gallicia, affirms, that that province has
completely recovered its liberty, and that the French
are blocked up, both in Ferrol and Corunna, by the
army of the Marquis of Romana. They were not
expected to make a long resistance. It also seems to
be certain, that several thousand English troops have
been disembarked in Vigo.
" The French army in Lower Estremadura has
fallen back from Merida to Truxillo, leaving a garri-
son in the former town ; they collect all the small
parties dispersed through that province."

These Papers contain some details respecting the
capture of Oporto, but they have been anticip.e;ed
by the accounts published in the Gazette.
