We yesterday stated various rumours receivedlrom
the French coast, respecting the battle of the 20th.
It has been reported, that a French Bulletin has arri-
ved, containing the particulars: but this is not cor-
rect; indeed there are no accounts in town later than
the Moniteur of the 26th, and the latest letters from
Faris are only to the same date. These letters assert
that the action was in fact another battle of Boro-
, dino ; but all the statements of killed, wounded, and
prisoners on both sides may be considered as mere
speculation.—lf it has been nearly so sanguinary as
has been stated, there will be few more great battles
during the present campaign : both armies will be so
much reduced as to render it impossible.
In what a commanding attitude does Austria now
stand ? How easily might she con.pel the man who
spreads so much misery over Europe, to restore peace

to the earth ? What has that power to do with the
'maritime provisions of the Treaty of Utrecht She
has, by the French Revolution, been robbed of her
ports in the Netherlands. Can she gain any thing
'joining in an attempt to abridge the maritime
power of Great Britain ? On the other hand, there
viere stipulations in that treaty, to which NAPOLEON
would be sorry to recur. For what was the war
undertaken, which that treaty terminated ?—To
prevent the junction of France and Spain under
one Monarchy ? For what purposes were the Al-
lies in that war united against Lewis the XlVth ?-
I.'o baffle his scheme of univeral empire ! To secure
" the safety and liberties of Europe !"—To prevent
his swallowing up and incorporating with his own
empire the dominions of the neighbouring States.
What were the robberies and incorporations of LEWIS,
compared with those of NAPOLEON ! Look at the

Netherlands, Holland, the North of Germany, Swit.
zerland, • Rome, Genoa, Naples. View the struggle
in the Peninsula ! Contemplate the origin of the pre.
sent conflict in the North of Europe I How many
Treaties have been violated I How many promises
and oaths broken ! Does NAPoixoN believe that all
recollection ; all sense of wrongs- and injuries; all
ideas of justice are banished from the minds of men ?

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning ; but it
brings no intelligence of much interest. We already
knew of the embarkation of the Swedish troops for
Stralsund. The following are extracts :

" GO f TENBURGH, MAX 42.

" The Master of a vessel, who arrived here yester-
day, informs us, that he passed through the transports
with the Swedish troops on board, which sailed from
hence on Tuesday last, in the Sound, on Wednesday
morning ; and that the Danes permitted them to pro-
ceed without interruption.

Se His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland
arrived at Ystadt on Monday last, and immediately
embarked on board a British ship of war. His Ex-
cellency M. Thornton also embarked at the same
time and place, on board his Majesty's ship Briseis.
" The Ceylon, Havoc, and Aggressor, arrived to-
day with a large convoy from England.
The Dagen newspaper, published at Copenhagen,
says « Letters from Stockholm confirm the report of
England having ceded the iblitad of Guadaloupe to
the Crown of Sweden."

the many rumours which are now more than ever in
currency.

" Two Russian couriers have arrived here in the

" BURG, MAY 12.
Hitherto the French at Magdeburg have not
un-
dertaken any thing of consequence against the Rus-
sian and Prussian troops encamped against it, and
every thing has remained equally quiet along the
Elbe as far as Havilbergh. Deserter. are almost
daily coming in from Magdeburgh, according to
whose reports, there are only 7000 men left in garri-
son at Magdeburgh since the Viceroy of Italy's de.
parture ; they likewise state, that he has carried •ff
half the guns belonging to the works of the fortress.
44 The village of Cracau (at a quarter of a Ger-
man mile distance from the Tower Battery) has lately
been garrisoned by 1,000 French, with 16 pieces of
artillery ; nor can any labourers be obtained to work
on the fortifications, so many burghers having left
the place,, on account of the very high price of provi-
sions. A party of Russian Cossacks yesterday crossed
the Elbe to Schonbeck, and fetched a large quantity
of salt from the magazine there over to this place."

EXTRACTS FROM THE HAMBURG] PAPERS.
HAMBURGH, MAY 21.

This afternoon two battalions of excellent Swedish
troops entered this town, the Danish troops who un-
dertook to assist us in defending it, having left us two
days ago, and withdrawn to their own territory.—
The enemy informed, without doubt, of this c?rcum-
stance, made an attempt on the town in the night
between the 19th and 20th from the islands of Fid-
del and Wilhelmsburgh, which he had been in the
possession of for some time, and on which he had
thrown up fortifications and providel artillery. Hav-
ing perceived, however, that the attempt was attended
with no success, and that he met with such a serious re.
turn as greatly to injure his batteries, he thought pro-
per at-last to give up his fruitless undertaking. Now
that we have to congratulate ourselves on the great
abilities and unwearied zeal of our generally respected
fellow Citizen, the Russian General Von Tettenborn,
and also on the powerful assistance of the Swedish
troops, we are unconcernedst the vain and fruitless at- I
tempts of the enemy, confiding, as every good Citizen
does, in the wise dispositions of his Excellency, and ani.
mated, as we all are,with the most determined resolution.
—His Excellency received the valiant Scandinavians
before the stone gate, by whom he was greeted with
three cheers ; after which they entered the town with
martial music, by the stone gate, where a detachment
of our Burgher-guards, with their band of music, was
placed en hap, and who received them in return, with
the most cordial huzzas. By means of carriages dis-
patched to them from our neighbourhood, and the
Lauer.burg and Mecklenburg territories, they were
enabled to proceed from Pomerania to Hamburgh in
a very short period, and, without being fatigued,
they immediately proceeded to occupy posts on the
Grasbrock. We expect still more Swedish troops,
who are at present on their march towards Ham-
burgh and the Elbe.
