We this day ;nsert Extracts from Paris Papers to
the sth, and Dutch to the 7th. According to the
latter, the army of the Archduke JOHN, which had
invaded the T) rol, has been cut off, and compelled
to surrender. This circumstance, if it be correct,
will greatly add to the distress of the Austrian fugi-
tives. Could the Tyrol, with its hardy race of moun-
taineers, who are enthusiastically attached to the
House of Austria, have been regained by the Arch-
duke, it would have been a Strong position for the
Austrian forces, difficult to attack, and at the same time
affording to the possessor the means of directing his
assaults against Italy or Bavaria.

From the French Papers we have given, with some
other articles, the Address of the Conservative Senate,
and a full copy of the two first French Bulletins.

The Address of the Conservative Senate t., BoNA-I
',Aim is a striking monument of servility and base-
ness. It affects to lay more to the charge of Austria
than the Minister for Foreign Affairs has done ; and
the cunning is very palpable, with which the attempt
is made to represent the Austrian, as well as the Spa-
nish hostility to France, as the result of British gold.
For this, however, England is to be conquered on
the territory of Austria ;" and Mir fresh conquest is
at length to secure the maritime peace 1
The Bulletins account for a circumstance for which
the abridged copy furnished no explanation. The French

forces were probably less numerous than the Austrian,
1
and yet obtained the victory. The fact is simply this :
NAPOLEON succeeded by the same manoeuvre which in
so many former instances has led to similar results. I-le
attacked one corps after another of the Austrian army
with the same troops, bringing a superiority of num-
bers always to bear against those opposed to him,
thus, with a force perhaps inferior upon the whole,
reaping all the advantage by means of tactics of the
most decided pre-eminence in point of strength. In
Spain he beat the army of BLAKE in Biscay, of Es-
tramadura, at Burgos, and of CASTANQS, at Tudcla,
with the 'same force, merely by rapidity of movement.
And now in Bavaria he began with destroying his
adversary's left wing, under the Archduke Louts,
and afterwards defeated the centre under the Arch-
duke CHARLES, with the same troops. It would seem
that there has been a great want of concert between the
different members of the Austrian army,otherwise this
would not have been practicable,or certainly could not
have been so easily accomplished. The Archduke
Louts appears to have received no support from the
Archduke CHARLES—in consequence of the de-
feat of the latter, the left wing of the former was left
exposed, and meditating an attack, its Commandc4 was
forced upon his defence, in circumstances wherehewas
deprived of dole co-operation of one whole corps of his
army, that of BELLIGARDE, which passed Ratisbon
after the battle.

If we can trust the enemy's account (which by the
by there is every reason to believe to be true in sub-
stance), the Archduke CIiAR LES after the battle of the
22d, committed a great fault in leaving six regiments
by way of garrison in Ratisbon, which though sur-
rounded by an old wall and ditch, must in every mi-
litary view be considered as an open town. This was
bad in two ways. Ratisbon was taken by assault,
and these six regiments were sacrificed, though they
had not even taken the precaution of destroying the
bridge ; and great calamity was thus necessarily
brought upon the inhabitants, without being of the
smallest service to the party el-posing them to it.

The arrival of Prince STAHRFNTBELG yesterday, as
Ambassador from the Court of Vienna, gave rise to
various rumours, which had considerable currency
during the afternoon, His Excellency, after a pe-
rilous journey incog. through Holland, quitted that
country in a fishing boat, and was picked up at sea
by one of our cruizers.

Had his Excellency arrived before the. receipt of
the French Bulletins, the details of preparations, pa-
triotism, and military mckvements of the Austrians,
which he had power to communicate to our Govern-
ment, would, no doubt, have diffused a very general
satisfaction. Even with the Bulletins in our pos-
session, we are assured that he brings accounts of
the losses sustained by the French in the several actions
described in the enemy's Bulletins, being quite as great
as those of the Austrians; that the Archduke CHARLLS
had improved the disposition of his army, and that so
late as the 28th ult. the French were unable to advance,
having suffered so severely in the different conflicts
that had taken place. But we must add, that consider-
ing the way in which the Prince pursued his journey
to this country, it is not credible that he can have
brought accounts of so late a date as has been stated.
Immediately after his arrival, Prince STAHREMBERG
had an interview with Mr. CANNING ; and we under-
stand that Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK will set out in a
few days for Vienna, as Ambassador Extraordinary
from his Britannic Majesty to the Emperor of Austria.

Yesterday about twelve o'clock his MAJESTY ar-
rived at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor. Soon
after two his MAJESTY held a Private Levee. The
following had the honour of being presented :
Sir CHARLES HOAR HARLAND, upon his being created a
Baronet.

Mr. CURZON, upon his marriage.
Major E. PARKER, of the 19th Light Dragoons, upon his pro-
motion. '

Mr. AaavritNoT, upon his being appointed Secretary to the
'Treasury.

The 1:ion. Capt. CAnocAN, upon his promotion.
His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, and gave au-
diences to the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of PORT-
.LAND, and the rest of the Cabinet Ministers present ;
Sir DAVID DIJNDAS, and Mr. RYDER, who laid be-
fore his MAJESTY the proceedings of several Courts
Martial.

The LORD CHANCELLOR of Ireland has removed
the several Magistrates from the Commission of the
Peace for the county of Wexford, who were indiscreet
spectators of the late unfortunate duel between Mr.
Ar.coot and Mr. Cocccoucir.

Last week the leaden statue of King CHARLES the
Second, which stood at the Castle of Glammis, was
thrown down, and the head and arm cut off and
carried away.
By a Gentleman, recently from France, we learn,
that the quantities of corn, wine, and other produce
upon hand is incredible—and the prices so low that
the landholders are rendered totally unable to pay
their taxes. A representation of this state of the
country was made to the Emperor by three of his
Ministers ; and NAPOLEON said that he would attend
to it. From this it was immediately stated, that a
Dec! ee would pass permitting the exportation of corn,
flour, wine, brandy, &c. and annulling the im-
port of certain enumerated articles.. A second express
was sent by Mr. Armstrong, to overtake the Mes-
senger appointed to carry out dispatches to America;
and it is believed that this contains the notice of some
Decree of this kind.

Letters from Gibraltar, of the 7th ult. state, that
the Spaniards in La Mancha were flying in all direc-
tions before the French, who were only half their
numbers. Great hopes were entertained, however,
of the ultimate success of the patriotic cause, if the
efforts 6f the Spariish.peasants were properly directed,
and seconded by their superiors.
