rived in this city, with his dart cairn, which contains
500,000 francs. He has delivered it into the hands

At Carisruhe the carriage of a French courier

Last night Sir ULYSSES Button, Aid•de•Camp to
the Duke of WELLINGTON, arrived at the Foreign
°dice, in Dawning-street, with Dispatches from his
Lordship relative to the business of the opening cam-
paign. He cane to Dover in a fishing-boat from
Osttn,l, the ‘vit.d not allowing any of the vessels in
ItArbour to get out. Sir Marius kit Ostend so lately
as two o'clock in the afternoon of Monday. He was
also the hearer *of dispatches for Lord CASTLEREAGH.

This morning we received Frankfort Papers to the
18th instant. We must be brief in the notice of their
contents, owing to • the length of the debate in the
House of Lords. The Congress at Vienna has re-
cognised the right of FERDINAND to the Throne of
Naples. In other words, the war proioked by Mu- •
. stay has now for its object, on the part of all the,l
Allies, his expulsion from the Throne which he now
Ills. • The Frani:fors Journal contains a copy of the
answer made by the Duke of RAGUSA (MARMoNT)
to the letter of CAULISCOURT, in the name of BONA-
PARTE, inviting his return to France. It is a spirited
production, but too long for our limits this day. He
SAYS. that the only thing for which he blames himself
is, his having interfered to induce the Allies to save
the life of such a scoundrel as BoN,APARTIS.

We have also received Italian Gazettes containing

the official accounts from the Austrian General Field
I Bianchi, dated the sth instant, of the action.
tat Ow 2d and 31, which were decided victories to'
the Austri.ins. The t,4lowing is the detailed relation:
" AUS EWAN HEAD-QUARTERS,MAY S.

46 There is n ► doubt but the King of Naples and
the el;viiions Ambrosio, Lecchi, Levron, and Pigna
telli were eng ig-el in the battle ; it is Also asserted
that the division Carascosa took some part in the ac-
tion. The number of the troops with which Field-
Marshal Bianchi Achieved his victory was far inferior
to that of the enemy, as several c.insiderable detach-.
teems had been sent off in various directions.
" The action of the 2d May terminated with the
advance in mass of a battalion of the regiment of
Vat coma, iin,ier ahe command of General Senizer.
wh.eli compelled the left wing of the enemy to fall
back. On the 3.1, the enemy seemed to wish et the
beginning to renew his attack on the chief road,
where he penetrated with much courage.
44 General Mohr, to whom the right wing was en-
trusted, reinforced the vanguard of General Count
St ahrenberg, turned the numerous artillery belonging
to his po.ition again 4 the enemy, and undertook se-
veral charges with the Prince Re-genes Hussars and
the Tuscan Dragoons, which occasioned a conside-
rable loss to the enemy.
66 At that moment the division Ambrosio, with a
part of the division Fignatelli, descended from the
latights of Monte Milone to attack the left wing,
where Fittl-Istarshal Bianchi commanded in person.
The latter anticipated the attack. He caused the
Regiment of Chasteler to advance in close order,
st.-!,:st a .quadron of Tuscan dragoons, favoured by
the nature of the ground, and unperceived, turned
the right flank of the enemy, and fell upon the first
mass (if hrf.tntry of the 2d regiment of the line. This
movement was executed with as much ardour as suc-
cess. The enemy's column was in pan cut on pieces
and in part taken prisoners.
ss It was then the whole plan of the enemy, fore-
seen by Marshal Bianchi, developed itself. From the
heights of Milone descended about 8000 men, formed
in squares, some of which were composed of two or
three battalions. The brave Regiment of Chasteler,
some companies of the Regiment of Vacquant, and
some squadrons of Tuscan dragoons, formed the
Se bole of the force destined to repel this attack.
66 The battalions of Chasteler, disposed in two
files, and.attackcel by the enemy with much artillery

and a •igorou. platoon fire, stood firm, with admir.:ble

constancy, without returdng the fire, and waited till
the ent•nly'bsqiiiires should approach. One of these,
terrifi d by the formidable aspect of that regiment,
disba::ded itseit and fIA.
64 General Taxis immediately approached with
two squadrons of Tuscan dragoons to turn the right
flank of the enemy. Major Ruhnert, of the artillery,

conveyed with much difficulty three pieces of carmen
through the mountains, and their effect, united to
that of the other operations, determined the rapid
fight of the enemy. At the same time General.
Eckart advanced with a division of troops (which
comprised the regiment of infantry of the Archduka
Charles), from San S:Nerino along the left side of the
valley of Potenzt, as far asi the gates of Monte Mi.

wards Petrie)lo, on the left flank of the enemy, ;
battalion of the regiment Hiller, and a battalion of
the troy Ns of M.4ena. The enemy could no longer
resist, and fell back on every point.
a Genet- ti Mohr,. who, t'uring the action, had re-
pelled every attack with the most glorious intrepidity,
no sooner learnt the retreat of the enemy, than he
caused him to be rapidly folkwed by General Qum

Stahrenberg with his cavalry. Field Marshal Bian-
chi ordered the same movement to be made by Ge-
nerals Taxis and Senixer. ,

" This pursuit, which was continued without ally
pause, after a bittle which lasted two days, occa-
sioned the enemy's brigades of Taquilla and Medicis
to be overtaken, defeated, and dispersed in the
mountains.

~ In the morning of the 4th, Count Stahrenberg I
caused Macerata to be att.ickeel, whilst he moved in
person on the road of Fenno, which the rcar-guard
of the enemy, under the command of General Mayo,
was approaching. Unable to join the rest of the
army at Fermo, this corps must have •thrown itself
upon the road to Civita Nueva.
“ On the part of dal enemy many staff and supe-
rior officers were wounded : it is confidently asserted
that the General of Division Ambrosio, and the Ge-
neral of Brigade Campana, are amongst the numbers
two Adjutant-Generals, amongst whom Colonel Sei-
ner, 20 Officers, and more than 1200 soldiers, are'
already prisoners. The number of cavalry taken is
considerable. The enemy must abandon the military
position of Macerata. He causes a great number of
wounded to be conveyed to Civita Nuova, in order to
embark them there. One piece of cannon, many
ammunition waggons, the military chest, considerable
baggage, amongst which are some of the King's car-
riages, remain in our hands.
" Our loss cannot be exactly ascertained, but will
probably be about 20 Officers and 1000 soldiers,
killed and wounded. _

" It will be seen from this relation, what Generals
and what troops chiefly distinguished themselves.
Field-Marshal Bianchi praises in the same manner
the conduct of the Officers of the Staff employed
near his person, and especially that of their Chief,
Colonel Fleischer."
