There has been another arrival from Holland, by
which we have received 111cniteurs to the 15th, and
Dutch Papers to the 20th July. They contain a va-
riety of the first flying reports, and short telegraphic
notices of the battles of the 6th and 7th inst. which
need not now be given. A gentleman who came
over in this vessel infolms us, that the Dutch in gene-
ral seemed far from being gratified with the contents
of the 26th Bulletin. They had anticipated a diffe-
rent result ; but, like many among ourselves, they
seemed to draw some consolation from a hope that
the reported disaster of the Austrians may prove to
have been much less serious than that stated in the
French official account.

We wish it were in our power to lessen our own
apprehensions of the extent of the calamity; but the
posit ionsoccupied by the French after the battle, srak
co decisively the defeat of our Ally, that we can de-
rive but little consolation from the admission of the
enemy, that the ARCHDUKE has effected a retreat with
a great part of his army. By the superior address of
the enemy, the Austrian army has been cut off from
all communication v,ith Hungary—the principal source
whence it derived its sipplies, and been compelled to
retreat upon Bohemia, a country by no means equally
productive, or distinguished by the patriotism of its.
inhab;tants.—Besides, the Austrian force is now so
scattered, as almost to defy the possibility of acting
in conjunction or even in concert ; and the aids that
might have been expected from the insurrection ready
to break out generally among the di:,contented haw;
• bitants of Germany, are now pot beyond the reach of
hope. Nor is it the least of part of the tran-
saction, that the Austrians have been defeated, not
froal Any w-ut of lar.,vcry, or of those inbereut

qualities necessary to make patient, hardy, and coura-
geous soldiers, but by the superior skill of the ene-
my's Generals.

The following are the only articles deserving of
notice in the Journals received this morning :

CASSEL, JULY S.
There have just been published here the following
BULLETINS:
Dresden, July 2.

" The Austrians, who at the beginning of the in-
vasion observed the strictest discipline, and whose
whole conduct was conspicuous for regularity and
moderation, on their flight at once unmasked them-
selves. In Leipsic they demanded a heavy contribu-
tion, but were prevented from levying it by the sud-
den arrival of General D'Albignac.
" From Dresden, they carried off 20 waggons
laden with pictures and ether precious articles.
JULY 4.---His Majesty left this city at eight
o'clock this morning; his head-quarters will this even-
ing be established at Friedburg. Colonel Sheilman
marched yesterday from hence with all the Saxon
troops, and a Westphalian regiment towards Peter-

~ The Austrians have retreated into Bohemia,
with the exception of the corps commanded by the
Duke of Brunswick Oels, which has marched from
Zwiekau to Reichenbach, probably with the inten-
tion of attacking Hoff."

" PARTS, JULY IL

" The attack of Montjouy, which may be consi-
dered as the citadel of Gerona, has commenced after
the taking of the three redoubts which defended it.
Notwithstanding the difficulties of the ground which
is every where a hard rock, and necessarily retarded
the operations, a battery of mortars was on the 25th
in a state to fire. Two other batteries of cannon be-
gan to fire on the 26th, and continued vigorously to
batter the breach.

" A violent storm which took place on the 29th,
followed by several others, and continuedrains,have re-
tarded the completion of the works, but it is expected
that by the .sth of July at the latest, all the batteries
will be ready to fire ; and it is probable then, that
within twice twenty-four hours, a practicable breach
will be effected, and the capture of the place must
speedily follow by surrender or otherwise—Mont-
jouy once in our possession, Gerona may be consi-
dered as taken ; and this is the opinion of the Spa-
niards themselves, as is sufficiently proved by letters
which the besieged have endeavoured to convey to
their General in Chief, Blake, and which have been
intercepted by our advanced posts."
