Lutch Papers and Letters to the 116, arrived last
night. The former contain the 4th Bulletin of the
French Army in Germany. It is dated from the
neighbourhood of Brannau, a 3i:tle to the North of
Burghausen, the former head-quarters of the French,
but col:ains nothing of importance In Italy, the
French speak of having gained some advantages, but
they are not described with precision.
The private letters still contir•:te tl speak of. the
Austrians having obtained a victory over the French ;
nor can there be any doubt that the belief in Holland
is that the French have sustained a..scrious check, if
not a real defeat.

This intelligence recei /es farther corroboration from
6e report of some prisoners who escaped from Flush-
ing and landed at Deal on Tuesday night. They
state, that intelligence had been received there of the
Archduke CHARLES having gained a victory over the
Yrench in Germany ; that orders had just been re-
ceived for a general requisition in Holland of every
ran capable of bearing arms, to proceed to the
French army ; that the prison doors-had been thrown
rp'z, the prisoners having been sent off in haste to
ne army ; and that all the troops in the island had
:..ren hastily marched off for the same destination.

SPAIN.

A letter front a Gentleman who came home pas-
.
mnger. in the POWERFUL man of war from Spain,
aates, that in the Channel they fell in with a vessel
fr nn a port of Asturias, bound to England, with the
;:greeable intelligence that General CuasrA, having
:armed a junction with the Marquis ALBUQUERQUE,
attacked the enemy at Truxillo, and, after a despe-
rate battle, which was contested on the 27th, 28th,
29th, and 30th ult. had obtained an important vic-
t.‘ry over the enemy. No other particulars arc men-
tioned, nor can we ascertain whether, there is any
degree of truth in the statement. A day or two will
dczcrmine it.

The cnly intelligence in the Dutch papers respect-
ing Spain is an article Dated Bayonne, April 30th ;
i which " His Catholic Majesty JOSEPH NAPOLEON
commands all hir Ji.t;t:.!: to return to their cuuntry
ca pain of forfeiting their property !" . •
