BULIITIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY OF PORTUGAL

" Paris, June tx
" Alexander Girard's, Colonel of the sth Regiment of Dra.
goons, and M. Brun, Aide-sle-Camp to the Duke of Dalmatia,
have passed through this city, on their way to the head-quarters
of his Imperial Majesty Its Austria, with dispatches from their
Excellencies the Dukes of Dalmatia and Elchingen, copies 4
which have been delivered to the War Minister. We now shall
anticipate the details which will be given wst of the dispatches
forwarded to the Emperor, by stating all the particulars respect-
ing the second corps of the army of Spain since the month of Ja-
nuary.
" They have been so misrepresented, as well ha France as in
Spain, by relations taken from English Papers, and by erroneous
rumours, a which the interruption in the communication be-
tween the various oorps of the array had given birth, that it be-
comes necessary to relate them in the order which their date na-
turally points out.
" After the embarkatioa of the English at Coruna, January
17th, his Excellency the Marshal Duke of Dalmatia marched to-
wards Porropl, through St. Ingo and Vigo. The difficulties
which he experienced in eadeasouring to won the Mahe so
near its junction with the sea,-cosespelled him to ascend its banks
as far as Orense, where be arrived the Sth of March, and from'
thence began his operations.
" The 6th of March lie crossed the bridge over the Mieho, at
Orense, and on his way to Chaves met with Romana's army,
which he defeated at luso, Atiaritz, and Osogne, near Monterey,
destroying the rear-gootd,cOnsisting of 3000 men, and taking 2000
prisoners and some standards. The enemy their retreated in the
greatest disorder. - - -

" The 13th of March, the Duke of Dalmatia appeared before
Chaves, on the frontier of Portugal, and invested this place, which
capitulated three days after. Its garrison, composed of several
thousand peasants and solute militia, were sent back to their babe.
tations.
" The 16th March his Excellency marched against Braga,
where the army of the Portuguese insurgents had taken amino's.
The badness of the roads delayed the arrival of the artillery until
the 19th, when the enemy were attacked. Their force was esti.
Mated at 20,000 men, which were entirely overthrown. They
lost 6,•00 and all their artillery, and retreated upon Oporto.
" The 24th, the second corps arrived before Oporto, where all
the Portuguese northern armies were collected in an intrenched
camp, Banked with redoubts, and defended by a numerous ar-

. -
tillery.
" Two days were spent in skirmishes, and the French troops
found in the redoubts, of which they took possession, a Wolter
from the cam:Gaol the enemy.
" The 29th, the Duke of Dalmatia fought a battle as glorious
as memorable, ha which the French displayed their usual enthusi-
astic valour. Upwards of 10,000 Portuguese were killed or taken,
and the enemy lost, not only the artillery planted on their in.
trenchments, but their field pieces. This day put the second
corps of the army in possession of more than 200 pieces of can-
non.

" From the 30th of March to May 10, the-second corps was
employed in establishing in that part of a country not wholly con-
quered his communication with the 6th corps that remained in
Galicia—large detachinents were sent to Guimaraena and Valencia,
in order to bring the magazines which had been left at Tuy, and
to scour the country: General Loison, whose death the English
have falsely published, was detached with the same intent against
Amarante, Villa Real, and the adjacent country, with 2500 in-
fantry and 600 horse. The 10th of May, the' vanguard of the
Duke's army was on the Vouga. It was attacked by several
thousands of foot, 1500 horses, and 6 pieces of cannon, which
formed a part of General Wellesley's army, lately landed in Por-
tugal. The vanguard retreated behind Feyra, and on the 11th
recrossed the Douro, with the division of Gen. Mernzet.
" The increase of British force in Portugal, and that of the
Portuguese insurgents, through the influence of British gold, had,
as early as the 10th, determined the Duke of Dalmatia to effect
his retreat through Amarante, Villa Real, and Bragansa, ascend-
ing the right bank of the Douro. But a numerous corps of Eng-
flsh and Portuguese having compelled Generall.eison to evacuate
Amarante, the Duke found it necessary to pass through the defiles
of Salamonde, and in order to gain two marches on the enemy,
to sacrifice a few pieces of cannon and thkr caissons, which he
ordered to be destroyed, and the remains of which could prove
of no use to the Enclish.
" The latter not having been able to gain any advantage on the
second corps during the retreat, the only action which took place
was with our rear-guard at Oporto, the English having found
means to convey on the right bank of the Minho about 1000 in.
fantry and 50 horse, they have swelled this trilling engagement
into a battle, the pompous relation of which fin no point • f view
a military one) has had no otht.r end than to deceive the people of
London, and perhaps the Minister; themselves in order to repay
them for the immense sums of money which this expedition must
have cost the British Treasury.
" On the 19th of May, the ruke of Dalmatia was at Allaritz ;
the tOth he crossed the Minho at Orense ; and the 23d formed a
commun cation with the Duke of Elchingen himself and the corps
under his command.

" The arrival of the Duke of Dalmatia's army into Gallicla has
been useful under every point of view. It has dispersed the bands
of armed peasant., who profiting by the movements of the Duke
of Eichirgen against Ovicto, had endeavoured to Like pos,esdon
61 Santiago and Lugo, assisted by the few English troops weo still
occupy Vigo.
" Suith was the state of things in Gallicia, and on the barks of
the Minho, during the first days of Lune, and the English seemed
little inclined to try their courage with the td and ith corps, after
their junction."

HAMBURG!! CORRESPONDENTEN.

BRUNN, JUNE 10.

The following Bulletin of the Austrians, dated the
7th instant, has been published :

" The enemy had for some time past made an irruption into
Hungary, and seemed, in particular, to fix his views on Pres-
burgh, which, considered an a military post, is of great importance.
This induced his Royal Highness the Generalissimo to order a
bridge-bead to be constructed on the right banks of the Danube.
The works on the Ist instant had already attained souse degree of
solidity, when the enemy on the evening of that day advanced in
two columns, 10,000 strong, from Wulfdale against the village
of Engerau, situated In front of the bridge-head, and occupied by
General Bianchi with detachments of the regiments of Giulaye,
Dura, and Beaulieu, to cover the workmen.—{Here follows the
account of the attacks made b f Marshal Davoust on the 2d and
3d instant, already known.)—Preeburgh was for some time can-
nonaded by the enemy, who now confines himself to throw yp
entrenchments in the rear of the village of Engerau. The troops
of the Hungarian Insurrection, as well •hose whe have taken
post behind the Rub as the rest who have joined the Archduke,
meet daily with opportunities of practising what is called petty
warfare (petite perry.) The environs of Altenburgh are infested
by a strong detachment of the enemy's horse."
