NAPLES, JULY se7.

The English have very unexpectedly received or-
dc•rs entitely to evacuate the islands of Ischia and
Procida. The troops and the sick are all embarked.
The Sicilian Prince Leopold, oho was on board the
fleet, and the Dukes of Arccbii and Camera, two Nea-
politan emigrants, have by this time retnrned to Me-
lazzo. It would appear, that considerable differences
had taken place between them and General Stuart.
Two English regitnents have proceeded to Malta.

In battle of \Vagram, the village of that name was carried on
the 6th, between 10 and 11 o'clock, and the glory of this 'access-
fal enterprise is due to the corps 'f Marshal Oudinot. The House
of Austria took the field this campaign with liS yegiments of toe
line, 1'..1 regiments of cavalry, 12 regiments of grenadiers, four
free corps of legions ; :'raking in the whole 310,000 men : 150
battalions militia (landwehr), commanded by old officers, exer-
ci4ed ten months ; 40,000 men of the Hungarian insurrection, and
60,000 artillery, and millers; composing in the whole
' from sto 600,000 men. With this force, the House isf Austria
supposed herself sure of victory. She entertained a hope of
shaking the power of France, if ever her whale force were united.
But her armies are, notwithstanding, reduced to one-fourth part
of their original strength, while the Vrench art ty has been incress-
ed to double the number it consisted of at Ratislson.

Notwithstanding. the mysterious veil which still
covers the negociations, they are likely to draw to a
clow, and the most sanguine hopes are entertained of
a speedy peace. A report is in circulation, that the
Prince of Bavaria, who has been in Vienna these
eight days, is immediately to be married to rh..: Arch.
duchess Louisa, in order to cement the peace between
the Courts of France, Bavaria, and .iu%tria.
Count Urban has arrived here ; i,e is said to he the

General Suchet has seri. a Report to the Minister
of War, dated the 21st of July, that, after having
thrown Blake's army into the utmost confusion, by
the actions which took place between the 15th and
18th of that month, he has made it his business to
annihilate the dispersed remains of the insurgents
in Arragon. A Vorena, who had collected a
body of them, has been so completely routed, that
three hundred of his corps deserted in one day, and
he was almost left alone • and Roman-Guyon, who
had formed an entrenched camp near the Convent
of Aguila, has also been driven ont of his strong
hold : the convent *as found exceedingly well sup-
plied with ammunition and provisions.

We positively 1-n6w that, General flailasteros is at
Llanes with the remnant of his army, which he has
ben able to assemble ; but General Bonnet, whoa has
received a reinforcement of three battalions, occupies,
the position of St. Vincente de la Barquera, and other
points along the Asturias, so as to secure that part
from all attempts at invasion. Other French bana-
-1 lions are employed to pursue and chase into the mouni:
tains the fugitives of the corps Which Marquesello
commanded, and' the irregular troops which he had
enrolled. At their head, are the Vicar Tapia, known
by his excesses in the provinces of Valladolid and Pa-
lencia, a Dominican of the Asturias, :Imbed in the
tuniform of a Capt.iin, and an Abbe of the same dio-
cese, appointed a Lieutenant-Colonel.
Sunday intercepted letters make known the cennier -
nation and terrors of the enemy's chiefs, since the day
of the 11th. We know by_ others, anterior to that
epoch, to what an height the ferocity of these brigands
had been raised. One of them is an act, dated the
10th inst. directed to the Alcades, by the Junta of
Cudego, and containing the abominable order of the
Marquis Romana, to burn the villages which have
opposed no resistance to the entrance of the French
troops. We must confess, that the example of Maki
is not encouraging to them. He had advanced front
the side of Saragossa towards General Suchet, who,
against his 22,000 men, sent but frail six to 700 Q
men at most.
Blake, after losing two battles, and abandoning tWQ
thirds of his artillery, finds himself still closely pursued
by General Sucher Ho would And nn ncvinm. hilt in
the mobntaies on the side of . Molina and Arragon.
from whence he will have great difficulty in regaining
Valmcia ; and if he should accomplish it, he will pra.
bably be obliged to abandon the remainder of his ar-
tillery. In Catalonia, the siege of Gerona is adv
: many of the forts are in our power. Accord ng
to the last faurier, a capitulation was thought of.

ing intelligence :
Santa OlaUa, July U.
" His Royal Majesty arrived here this day at the
head of his army, in pursuit of the remains of the ene,
my's army, which had escaped from the battle of
Santo Domingo. In consequence of the Englisli
haviug pushed forward the insurgents under the com-
mand of Cnesta, the latter were almost entirely arnsi-
Mated. Great numbers of them have been taken
prisoners, among whom is Baron Armendaers, Colo- .
nel of the regiment of Villa Viciosa, with several other
officers of the corps. The army is anxiously desirous
to contr up with the English.
'6 Several Hanoverian prisoners, who formed part
of the English tzgimcnts, have declared, that it was
circulated in the army that Ma kid is to be given up
live days to be plundered by the troops.
66 Spanish officers were the more astonished at the'
_ _

defeat of the insurgents, as they had been told th-at.an
Frenchmen had left Spain, and that the King was in:
Vittoria." • -.
JULY 27.—Yesterelay, at two o'clock in the.*'-!
ternoon, his Majesty e:itablished his heal quarters
a height, which commanded the held of be •
Torrijos. The enemy, who had taken shelteNhiiin
wood, being alarmed by oar sharpshooters, enc(ee
voured to gain the plain: The French pursued diem
thither. The insurgents endeavoured to tally; hut
his Majesty advanced against them at seven, pd th
first corps having made a vigorous attack;.earried
death and dismay into their ranks.
At nine o'clock this night, a Field Officer of the
first corps arrived here with the intelligence, that it 4,
the course of the night still more signal advantages
had been obtained than the preceding, and the held •
of battle was covered with the slain.
Jetv 23.—His Majesty overtook at length the
English army yesterday, at four o'clock in the after:- .
noon, which. on the point of being surrounded by our
troops, drew up in line of battle. The French army
attacked the English with the utmost vigour.; Some
woods which covered their. left wing did not remain
long in their possession ; and the division of their
army which occupied them was annihilated by ea.
Duke of Belluno.
A regiment of one of the divisions of the first corps
attacked an English column with the bayonet, killed
1000, and made 500 prisoners. The loss sustained
by the enemy is very considerable, and Cannot yet be
calculated. During the battle the King was ma.
nauvring on the right of the English, in order to cut
4 heir totrrat to Talavera and the Tagus.

Admiral of the White, &c. ailirtsfied to the Hoaourabk Wil-

Sin,

Kaitiaroo, in the West Scheldt, off Ike 'Lbw,
August i 1 , 1809. _

I beg leave to acquaint you, for the information
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that
...at this moment going up to Bathe, in South Be-
vciand, which has been attacked by a strong detach-
ment of the enemy's 8°611.1, and which by Sir Richard
Keats's reports, consists of two frigates, one bearing
a Vice-Admiral liag, 30 brigs,' 8 tuggers or schoo-
ners, ...nd 11-gun-boats.
I was under the necessity of detaining our flotilla
to prevent supplies being thrown into the garrison at
Flushing. ar.d to assist. In cutting off its coinmunica-
tion with Cadsand, which service was effectually done,
except during the late heavy gales, which drove the
gun-boats from their stations, and prevented our strip,
entering the Scheldt, from the circumstance of the.i
not being able to weigh their anchors. Since the wea-
ther has moderated, the wind has provokingly drawn
round to the South East, which is• the only obstacle
that pr.,. : eats Lord Wm. Stuart with a squadron of
ten heavy frigates, passing Flushing, as well as Rear.
Admiral Lord Gardner, with the effective line-of-
battle ships, taking up the anclyirage in Dykeshook
Bay, where I intend his Lordship shall reinain,with
a view of having the assist:nice of that squadron in our
further operations against the.enemy, and eventually
to proceed np the Scheldt.-
The divisions of the army under the Earl of Ros•
lyn and Marquis of Huntley landed on South Beve-
land on the 9th.

The cavalfY and ordnance ships with the brigs and
some sloops of war, have passed through the Slough,
into the WestScheldt, and are now availing them-
selves of every. favourable tide to proceed to Bathz.—
I am also endeavouring to warp the Pallas and Circe
through by the same Channel, and with every proba-
bility of success..
Sir Home Popham was detached with some gun-
vessels for the purpose of sounding the River, and of'
joining Sir Richard Keats at Bathz.
The batteries are not yet ready to open on Flush-
ing, therefore I hope to be here again in time to co-
operate with the army in the attack on that garrison.
I am concerned to add, that the enemy has cut the
Dyke to the right of the town, and the Island is
likely to be inundated. I have ordered Rear-Admiral
Otway to send the Monmouth and Agincourt to Eng-
land for water, as soon as they can be got down
from Zterickzee • and earnestly intreat that other
means may be adopted for supplying the army and
navy from England, as I- apprehend all the water in
this island will be spoiled by the inundation, and that
there is not more in the other Islands than is necessary-
for thesubsistence of the inhabitants. _

Their Lordships must be aware that in this exten-
sive and complicated service, it is impossible for me
to enter so fully into detail as I could wish, especially
as our arrangements must vary in proportion with the
movements of the enemy.
In my absence I have directed Rear-Admiral Ot-
way to superintend the several duties relative to the
investment of this Islands and to correspond with the,
Admiralty on all matters of service.

Captain Dobbie, into acteJ it the Callas &Kit%
1-the asehci of captain Seyinour, is the beater: oilthis
dispatch. He had air lag far sante time in.that
ship, and has been particiA'rly attentive to the public
service. -

In Consequence of the protiacked siege of Flushing
and the necessity for the- flotilla going up the Scheldt,
I have ordered guns from the ships of war to fit 20 ,
transports as gun-flips, and with the launches of the
ships under Rear-Admiral Otway, to form a flotilla
for the lower part of the Scheldt, which t trust their t
Lordships will approve.
You will please likewise to inform their Lordships
that Lord Gardner has ordered tte Centaur and The•
seus to cruize off the Texel. • •

1 have the honour to be, ke.

Sin—Having directed the frigates named hz the
margin*, to proceed up the West Scheldt, under t;ie
orders of Lord Wtn. Stuart, Captain of the Lavini4.
the moment the wind was favourable, that zealous
Officer availed himself of a light air from the west-,
ward on the afternoon of the lltninst. notwithstand-
ing the tide was against. his proceeding, and passed
the batteries between Flushing and Cadsand ; the
ships were under the enemy's tire nearly two hours.
The gallant and seaman-like manner in vrhick this
squadron was conducted, and their steady and well.
directed fire, excited in my breast•the wannest seusa.
tions of admiration. The army witnessed their exer-
tions with applause, and I am certain their Lordsh;ps
will duly appreciate the services of Lord William
Stuart, the Captains, Officers, seamen, 4nd.marines,
on this occasion.

No very material accident happened, except by a
shell striking I'Aigle, and which fell through her
decks into the bread room, where it exploded ; one
Mill was killed and four others wounded ; her stem.
frame is much shattered.

wounded, and the damages su .tained by h•s Majesty's

gether with a light flotilla, tinder Captains Lyford,
Lowe; and Buck, un the 'West Scheldt, to sound and
huoy the channels of that river, to easble the larger

cution the ulterior objects of this Expedition. " Sir
Hotne Popham has executed. this service with his
usual judgment and correctness.

have the honour to inclose, for their Lordships'
infmmation, a copy of a letter I have received from
Sir Richard Keats; to whom I have given the com-
mand of the naval part of onr operations in the upper
part of both Scheldts, until I get the frigates ad-
vanced under Lurd William Stuart, and which' will
be done with the utmost dispatch. I have the ho-

Fort Bathz, August 11
Sir—l have the honour to inform you, that, in pur-
suance of your directions, I arrived at Bathz yester-
day, and in order to render, if practicable, an attack
on the-leaemes flotilla more crimplete, I ordered_
thirty flat boats armed with carronadcs, and some other
boats from the ships under my orders, to rendezvous
aCtliis place, and meet the flotilla under Sir. Home
Popham, but before the arrival of either, six of the
enemy's gun-boats having grounded on a bank within
reach of the artillery of the fort, after sustaining some
injury by it, were abandoned ; five of which were de-
stroyed, and the other brought in.
The arrival of Sir Home Popham and 'my boats
from the East Scheldt took place nearly at the same
time, but the enemy's flotilla moved up to Lillo with
the same tide that brought ours to Bathz, one of
which was handsomely burned by the ad.yanced gun-
boats almost amongst them.
As the navigation of the West.gclieldt is now open
as far as it can possiblyle cleared by the navy, and
a flotilla force of upwards of fifty sail in the Last
Scheldt demand attention, and I can at any time re-
turn in a few hours to this Place, it is my intention to
repair this morning to the Superb, where I have or-
dered the boats of my division.
Sir Home Popham is examining the chanrels.
Although we are now masters of the navigation to
Lillo, it may be proper to observe, that it is in the
enemy's power, by sending a superior naval force, to
deprive us of it, as: far as Bathz, (before some I.:rBer
ships ascend,).whenever he pleases. I li,;ve, &c.

The garrison will-march out poquorrow, and %sill Ir

• I may now congratulate y..ur Lordship on the
of a place so indispensably necessary to our i rain
operations, as so large a proportion of our fOtc... !..
required to carry on the siege with that dcgiee i.f vi
goer and dispatch, which the means of dLlence th.
enemy possessed, (and particularly his powers of ic
undation, which was rapidly spreading to an alarm
ing extent), rendered absolutely necessary.
Having hoped, bad circumstances permitted,
have proceeded up the river at an earlier period,
had committed to Lieutenant General Sir Eyre Coot
the direction of the details of the siege, and of the opt
rations beli.xe Flushing ; and I cannot sufficiently e:
press my sense of the unremitting zeal and exertioa
with which he has conducted the arduous service en
trusted to .him, iii which he was ably assisted b
Lieutenant Colonels Walsh and Offerey attached
him, as assistants in the Adjutant and Quarter Ma
ter General's department.
I have every reason to be satisfied with the judic
oils manner in which the General Officers have d
rected the several operations, as well as with the Si)
rat and intelligence manifested by the conmuldi,'
o! leers of corps, and the zeal and ardour of all rank..
of officers.-

It is with great pleasure I can report tic tinifornt
good conduct of the troops, who have not only on al'
occasions shown the greatest intrepidity in presen,
of the enemy, but have sustained, with great please:
and chearfulness, the laborious duties they have
to perform.

The active hill persevering exertions of the ccr,
of Royal Engineers have been csinducted with lute:,
skill and judgment. by Colonel Fyers, aided by
tenant Colonel D'Arey ; and it is impossible for n,
to do sufficient justice to the distinguised cordu:t 4
the officers and men of the Royal Artiilerv,
the able direction and animating example of Brio
dier General MtLeo4.
The Seamen, whose labours had already been
useful to the army. sought their reward in a fur."'.-
opportunity of .distinguishing themselves ; and o::
of the battex;es was accordingly entrusted to then]
and which• they served with admirable vigour at,
effect.

I must here beg to express my strong sense of tli
constant antittyrdial co-operation of the navy on a!
occasions ; and my warmest acknowledgments ar
most particularly due 4o Captain Cockhurne, of a
Belleisle, commanding the flotilla, And to C:lrtai
Richardson, of the Caesar, commanding the brigail
of seamen landed with the army.
I have the honour to inclose a return of the g trr:
son of Flushing ; in addition to which, I hair,.
ed that, beside.; the number killed, winch was
derable, upwards of 1000 wounded men were dart'
ported to Ca.!sand, previous to the complete inv.'s;

ships were immediately directed to haul off, and an-
chor as previously intended.
After being some time in this situation, during
which the enemy's fire slackened, by the aetiiie and
zealous exertions of Captain Owen of the Clyde, who
came to our assistance, and anchored close to the St.
Domingo, she was got off, and soon after I had the
satisfaction of seeing the Blake also afloat, and come
to anchor with the rest of the squadron.
' I was much pleased with the conduct and exertions •
of Captain Gill, of the St. Domingo, :tad his officers,
and with the steadiness, energy-. and good order of

timony to the behaviour of the officers, seamen, and

assistance he received from Captain Codrington in the
highest terms of praise.
The tire of the enemy towards the evening had
considerably abated, the town was burning in many
places, and much damage was done to the houses.—
At seven o'cloik I received a message from Lieute:

' cease hostilities, as a summons had been sent into
Flushing ; bat at night the fire again cammenced, and
was kept up withant intermission, until two o'clock
of the morning of the 15th, when the French Com-
mandant General Monnet offered to sus render. This
was communicated to me by the Lieetenent General,

Since our last, German Papers to the 11th, Paris
to the 9th and Dutch to the 15th have arrived. From
these we have given sufficient extracts to enable our
Readers to estimate the falsehood of the statements
circulated on the Continent wherever the public press
is under the influence of France.

The 30th Bulletin of the French represents the ar-
mies of Austria as reduced to one-fourth part of their
original strength, while the French army has been
increased to double the number of which it consisted
at Ratisbon."

The account of the battle of Talaveyra, given in
the Madrid Gazette, dated from Santa 011 ala the 26th,
27th and 28th ult. is a specimen of the most unblush-
ing effrpntery. It states that King JOSEPH carried
death and dismay into the ranks of his opponents ;
,that the field was covered with their slain ; that a di-
vision of the British was annihilated by the Duke of
BELL UNO, &C. &C.

The accounts in these Journals respecting Austria
are vague and unsatisfactcry ; but various private
letters have been received, which agree in substance
with the accounts from Holland, of which we took
some notice on Saturday. They state that the Aus-
trian Government has announced the termination of
the Armistice ; and that hostilities will speedily be
renewed.

We are assured, that Lord WALPOLE, who arrived'
from the Continent yesterday, brought the important
intelligence to Government that the Austrians have
been driven by the exorbitant demands of BONAPARTE
to put an end to the armistice, and to renew the war,
The discontent in the Austrian army at the reCult of
the battle of Esling is extreme ; since it is the uni-
versal sentiment that if the success had been followed
up, the victory must have been complete. It is
now certainly ascertained that the French ammuni-
tion was totally exhausted, and that but for the
timid councils to which the Archduke CuArtLes un-
fortunately yielded, and the credit he gave to the
false representations which were made to him (no
doubt corruptly made to him) the army of the
French EMPEROR might have been reduced to the
last extremity. Prince JOHN of Lichtenstein offered
to pass the Danube with 30,000 men, and cut off
BONAPARTE from Vienna, but his plan was rejected.
The wisdom of the advice, however, has been since
acknowledged ; and we understand that the Arch-
duke CHARLES has given up the command of the
army to Prince JOHN Of LICHTENSTEIN, under whose
auspices the Imperial House of Austria is yet to strug-
gle for its fate. Lord INALrot.r., who has been tra-
velling for his pleasure, states that the French army
is in the most deplt r.tble state for every ne es!ary,
and that though a most favourable opportunity was
lost, there are yet grounds for hope that the Austrians
may make a powerful stand.

This morning we received letters from Plymouth
Dock of Saturday's date, which mention that a letter
had been received the preceding evening by an Officer
of high military rank, brought to Falmouth by a
schooner from Lisbon, stating 44 that Sir ARTHUR
WELLESLEY was in possession of Madrid ; that he had
taken the French Governor and 2000 Officers and
men prisoners, and that Marshal Vicroa, at the head
of the remaining French army, was rapidly retreat-
ing."—Not having received any letter from Falmouth
this morning we have no means of appreciating the
degree of credit due to this statement, which is given
without any date. We are apprehensive, however, it
is only a reverberation of one of the reports circulated
in the beginning of last week.

The CHAMPION frigate has sailed from the Downs
with the transports under her convoy, having on
board the Russian Admiral and seamen, for the
Baltic.

An order has been received at Mill Prison to pre-
p ire for the reception of '2200 prisoners of war. The
Transport Board have given directions to remove
1000 from the respective prison-ships in Hamoaze to
Dartmnor.

Thursday last M. ROSE, an Officer of distinction in
the French servicz, but now a prisoner of war on
board the linAnvE, in Plymouth harbour, having
some words with a fellow-prisoner, they agreed to de.
cide the difference in the gun-room. Not being able
to procure swords, they fastened the blades of two
razors to two sticks, with which they fought till the
former received a desperate wound in his right side:
it is not, however, considered mortal. '
His Gr: c. the Duke of BEDFORD, and his amiable
Duchess, accompanied by the Hon. Miss RUSSELL and
Mr. ADAM, have honoured Plymouth-dock with their
presence, by paying a visit to the Hon. Mrs. PAGET,
wife of Capt. PAGF.T, R. N. at Government House.
