THE GOTTENBURCH MAIL

Arrived this day. The only important article brought
by it is the following;
Gorrawanao, Ocr. 21.—The important news
was yefterday received here, of the King of Prtaa
having joined the Coalition, and today it has been
confirmed from various quarters.

We have this day the moil afßiaing intelligence to
communicate to our Readers—partly received by
accounts from the coati, and partly from Dutch jour-
nals of the 26th inßant.

In a letter from Frankfott of the aoth, inferted in
the Dutch papers, the anion which 'took place on
the loth at Guniburgh, is mentioned. The capture
of Ulm is alto Rated, but only as a report. The day
of The vhtory is not mentioned, but the fiat attempt
is (teed to have taken place on the t till, when, the
French were repulfed with confiderable 106.

The fame letter mentions the enemas's= Rated
in the Illoniteur of the 22d, as the reafon wby the of
account of the capture of Ulm had not reached
Paris.—The Archduke FERDIIIAND with a confiders.l
blelforceeroffed the Danube on the 13th at Ulm;with
which•force he took pofitions at Heidenheim, Aalen,
Gemund, and Geiflingen, in the Wurtemburg tern.
wry, Rill keeping up his communication (we prefume)
with the main army on the Hier. It was probably
tl.e piquets of this corps which intercepted the couriers
from the hnioeriathead quarters, and cut off from the
Moairmr, for four days, the regular fupply of intelli-
gence for the iffue of the daily bußetins. Whether
this movement was made for the purpofe of turning
the right wing of the French, or withdrawing the
greater part of the Auftrian army•frosn the potation
at Ulm, with the defign of attempting a retreat thro'
the Upper Palatinate, we have -not the means of de-
ciding ; but the fttbfequenz fall of Ulm could not fail
to bring this divifion of the Aarhus army into im-
minent danger of being cut off.
An article from Rotterdam Rates, that the French
were thrice repotted in their attempt to carry Ulm
by norm, but that they fucceeded on the fourth at-
tack. The flaughter on both fides was great, both
in Officers and men, and fevers' Generals are report-
ed to have been among the number. The accounts
from Germany are Rated to be fo confided that it is
difficult to come at real falls. The French, however.
were vielorious. and we fear, from a comparifon of
fuch falls at there journals afford, with the accounts
we have received from the cyan, that it has been fol.
lowed by a moil fellow difaffer to the Auftrian grand
army.

Our Correfpondeot at Doves writes us, that Sir
&EMIT SMITH, who is at prefent there, received, at
8 o'clock on Sunday night, an exprefs from the Offi-
cer who commands our aotilla off Boulogne, inform-
ing him that a boat had been fent out to the mouth of
the harbour, and then allowed to drift, withont any
pet fon on board. This boat was picked up by the Its-
tanarm.tra frigate, and on board was found a letter,
Rating, that the French bad had as aaion with an Au/Irian
army,' confifing ty. one hundred thonfand men, which they bad
entirely put to the route, having killed, wounded, and taken
prifoners nearly the whole, the Commander in Chief king
among the amber !

The intelligence kilt Rated was tranfmitted imme-
diately to Lord Kuril, who yeflerday afternoon
communicated it to the Admiralty, where accounts
have alto been received, that at Boulogne, on Satur-
day morning lad, there was a general d;fcharge of
the artillery on the batteries, probably announcing
the receipt of the intelligence there.

To all that we have Rated we have to add, that a
private letter from Holland, dated on Saturday, and
received in town tali night, Rates that the a&ion took
place on the ,9th inflant ; that it was long and ob.
Rinarely contelled, bat at length terminated in favour
of the French, who have entirely annihilated the
Anarian Army, the whole having been killed, taken
prifonerr, or difperfed—General Macs, with the
whole An(lrian Staff, being among the prifoners of
war.

It is extremely probable that there accounts are
exaggerated, but that the fate of the campaign is al-
ready decided, we have but too much ream°. to fear.
Yet fill, dreadful as thofe tiding( are refpetaing the
Aattriaa army, we truft the hardy melt of the North

.

tooting forth on the ♦iEtorious French, will yet tr,r.
aerate, if not check their career. BONAPARTF, we
.:ruft, will find that Swedith and Priallan foldiers arc
sot fuch feeble fupporters of the Auftriens as the
anwarlike hates of Italy proved in the left war.—
But, much as the aid of Pruffia may throw into the
kale, we look to the prefent crifis of affairs with a
.degree of anxiety that will not fairer us to forbear ad.
ireffing our countrymen on the ferious thoughts
which ought now to'occupy their minds. It is no
time aow to bear one fubjeil in our hearts, bat the
fate, the undecided fate of our country. England was
never yet menaced with half the dangers that now
impend ; never, lance the sent of her exiflence, was
it neceffary for Englillrnen to function up their vir.
tees, to cone& their undeMandings, and to prepare,
from this inliant, for the ferious defence of their coun-

nent. True, we have courage and numbers ; bat
there, without efficient difcipline, will leave defeat
a tbirg pollible, and immenfe havoc among our
ranks, even in the cyan of viaory, a thing molt
cu-
tain.

Let Englifhmen, if they will defend their country,
be prepared to do loin the efficient manner that reit-
fon and the dreadful afpeft of affairs impevioully de-
mand—let than be difciplined—let the whole people
be armed and difciplined—let them be allured of being
led out, in the cafe of Invafion, by leader: in ohm
the, we) confide.
Let political aaimofities be henceforth at peace—all
that the people have to alk is, that they may draw
the !word under the anfpices of menrapable of play.

The progrefs of the French a few polls beyor.d the
Danube, wouldcettainly, for one cf our allie:, decide
the fate of Auftria, and force the Eurseoa.to make
a Peace, withoit confulting either Mr. PITT or the
Emperor Ate x Allose—fuch a Peace, in the event of.
a few more difafiers, will be made by the conquerors
at the gates of Vienna ; for the pofTelGon •of every
inch of ground which the French gain on the thorn
of tbeDaaube, gives them an eafy, an irrefillible, as
expeditious, and a certain mode of carrying &Cola-
tion to the capital of Pease's.
The ?tar on the Continent may lean be decided :
the truth is awful, and mull not be concealed; fuch
an enemy Europe has never bad to encounter ; and
ftrong as the confederacy is, if, by plunging through
Aullria, which is the heart of it. he can difable the
allies in one campaign, a peace with thofe allies may
be fpeedily made—he will theta be at our gates—his
blafphemous felf-confidence, fwollen to the intern*,

Wye' to the talk of '

awned ranks of his army—Englillamen, be ready
for the combat ; your fublidies, your allies, are not
fofficient defence! arm and prepare againd Invalion
if the lets of a few battles on the Continent can
bring the enemy to your door, where is your

ALPIMIDER, and the incalculable numbers of the
allies are to overwhelm our opponent ? No, we dic.
parage not the bravery of all, or any of thole Na-
tions—but who !hall enfure the event of a campaign
In difaftroufly begun? A vigour. a confidence, and
a power of.Gencrallhip pervades the French army,
of which it is awful to anticipate the poffible effees.
—On our own ground, let us be prepared to fight
thofe enemies ; if difciplined as we ought to be, we
(hall repel them, formidable as they are : but if a
