We• ate happy to have it in our power to an-
nounce to our Readers, that dispa•ches have just
been received from Admiral COCHRANE, dated April
7th, at which time he was blockading the French squa-
dron that escaped from L'Orient, consisting of three
Sail of the Line and two Frigates, in the harbour of the
Saintes, with four Sail of the Line r and an Expedi-
tion was Suing out from Martinique and Dominica,
to take both the Island and the Squadron, of which
the most sanguine hopes were entertained.

We this day insert the Austrian Bulletins that were
wanting to complete the "Tries. We need hardly re-
mark, that it is the obvious po'.icy of the French to
magnify, as it is of the Austrians to diminish, the ad-
vantages gained by the former. It gives us much
pleasure, however, to be able to state, that various
letters from Hamburgh tend to confirm the statement
in the lever from that city published in the STAR of
Saturday. They mention, that a Courier from Ber-
lin hid brou.gllt the account of the retreat of the Em-
peror Narot.t:oN, in consequence of a partial defeat;
and they ad.l, that a whole number of the Hamburg/:
Cm-responder:ten had been burnt by order of the French
Minister, because it contained an account .of the suc-
cess 'of thi A ustrians.

The ll..zoburgh papers rxeived are to the 7th in-
stant. This journal, pubh led under the direction of
M. BountENrn, announces the co-operation of the
Russians with the French armies. A letter from Leip-
s;c, April 27, sea s,
." The intelligence is momenta-
rilyexpected that the Russians have entered Gallicia ;"
and in an article from Bucharest, of the 2d of that
month, it is added, t. about 70,000 Russians are on
their march to the Danube." The occupation of
Warsaw by the troops tinder the Archduke FERIM.
NASM is achicwledged, the forces of the French cros.
sing- to the opposite bank of the Vistula, wi:hout,
however, engaging not to serve." •
At Rotterdam, so late as Friday last, it was stated
that the Austrians had advanced to Nuremberg. On
that day no Rotterdam paper was pnblished.—We
are also assured that the insurrection in the Tyrol is
of a formidable and decided character, embracing
the whol.. population of the country, a great part of
which is already in arms. This intelligence, if cor-
rect, is of the utmost importance. •The possession of
the Tyrol, not merely by the Austrian army, but Ly
the Tyrolese themselves, they shaking off the yoke,
and as a people joining the standard of their ancient
Sovereign—would be an event of such incalculable
advantage, that we would certainly place it as a corn
peasation for the loss of a general engagement. •
From the same source we hear that JEROME BONA;
PARTE. Wall hid Miniters, had fled from hi., capital.

Seville-Pipers to the 22J ult. arrived last night.—
They contaMa Proclamation from the Supreme Junta.,
dated Seville 18th April, in which they declare their
intention of removing from place to place in.the event
of the French approaching their place of residence.—
Their removal is to be intimated to the kingdom by
procl.mratioa, and their decrees are to have as full
effect as if issued from Seville. Their object in this
arrangement is to tike away from the French all
text for asserting that they have the consent of the.
Junta to the subjugation of Spain, in the event of any
of the persons who compose the Junta falling into
their bands. .

On the '2l st the Junta published a Bulletin, stating
that the Spanish troops had succeeded in driving the
French from Alcantart, with considerable loss, and
that there was no appearance of their advancing, es
had been appiehended. The alarm which their pro.
claniatioa Of the 13th bad excited, was beginning to
subside, and it was thought that the Junta would not
be under the necessity to quit Seville.

. It appears by a letter from Leiria that• the system
now pursued in the. South of Spain is toavoil general
engagement, with the French. " They ina.kc a de..
monscration—annoy stragglers and the rear guards of
the French, on all occasions ; and whenever die lat-
ter appear, to give them battle, are off to their mann-
tains, disperse, and are no more to• be found till the
enemy has withdrawn, when they instantly collect
again, andassail him as before." If this method
become general and be persevered in by the Spaniards,
they must ultimately prevail. No regular army at a
distance from its resources can recruit the waste occa-
sioned by such a mode of warfare.
