BANKS OF THE INN, AUG MT 17.

The Marshal Duke of Dantzick had advanced with
the first division of the Bavarian army to Sterzing to
support the corps of General Rouge!, who had inet
with opposition from the insurgents of the Pusterthal,
in the passes of the mountains between Sterzing and
Brixen. But as, in the mean time, a detachment of
the 3d Bavarian division, on its march by Landeck,
along the banks of the Inn, had met with insurmount-
able obstacles, great masses of stone having been rol.
led down into the vallies, and the narrow roads thereby
rendered impassable, while the mountaineers; at the
call of their chiefs, attacked them on every side ; the
Marshal marched with his two divisions over the
Brenner, and arrived on the Ilth, in the afternoon, at
Inspruck, where the whole army took a concentrated
position.
The rebels from the Pusterthal and Vutshgau con.
tinned to approach that capital, and partly by their
criminal example, partly by threats, and violence, in-
duced the inhabitants of the neighbouring mountains
to join them in their insurrection, by which the army
became completely surrounded by enemies, and had
its communication with the neighbouring country en-
tirely cut off.

On the 13th, in the morning, the armed peasants
who had assembled about Inspruck in great numbers,
made a general attack on the troops. The battle
lasted till six in the evening, but at last the insurgents
were obliged to give way, leaving about 1000 killed
on the field of battle. On the following day, they
kept at a greater distance, and dared not attempt any
attack on the army.
Near Rattenburg, however, the detachments of
Colonel- Count Oberndorf, and Major Count Tauf-
kirch, who commanded provisionally the corps of
Colonel and Brigadier Count Arco, who fell in the
field of honour, on the 13th, were assaulted ; but
though these detachments were composed principally
only of young and imperfectly trained soldiers, they
repulsed the enemy with great bravery, and frustrated
their plan, which appeared tobe no other than to make
themselves masters of the bridge over the Inn. After
the Duke of Dantzick had conveyed all his wounded
who could be removed from Inspruck to Kuffstein, he
began his march to Schwatz and Rattenburgh with
the first Bavarian division, and the division of Gen.
Rouger, consisting of French and confederate troops.
On the 15th, in the afternoon, the third division, tin-
der the command of Lieutenant-General Dewy, fol-
lowed, the destirfation of which was to cover Vae
treat in the lower Inn Thal.

Admiral Lord GkRDwEn arrived at Yarrnon!.,
yesterday, in the CAMILLA sloop of war, from Fla;:.
ing, and reached town last night.

It is with much concern we state that all the c
counts received from the Scheldt concur in statio
that a great degree of sickness prevails among tiay
British troops in that quarter, and some momil:tr,
See our are,' article.

We have received letters from Gibraltar of tile 2ki4
ult. Our Correspondent at the garrison informs 11,
that the news of the Armistice between the Austrians
and French on the Danube, had excited great appre.
hensioas among our military men in that qaarte.,
and among all who could form any correct
on public events. They seem to consider the can!!
as hopeless, representing the Spanish Officers as gc.
nerally cowardly and profligate, and the higi.er ranks
as destitute of true patriotism and honour.

The news of the battle of Talavera is tprmnted
to have raised the character of the British for valour
and discipline, to a pitch of which the Spanish na.
tion had never before formed even a concept:on;
and in spite of every artifice to hide from the eyes of
the Public the misconduct of Cur.sr.% and some of
his Regiments, it had became so notorious, that it
was found indispensible to make an example of some
of the individuals.

Our letters state that every tenth man of some (f
his regiments which fled most shamefully, have bom
ordered to be shot—also every third officer ; and tl:at
the remaining officers of these regiments are to be rt.
duced to the ranks.

The conduct of our 48th regiment is the subject of
general eulogy among the Spaniards, who s3y—
" had our own men behaved in the same manner,
what might they not have achieved on that glorins
day."

The garrison of Gibraltar was remarkably le:11;lv
when our letters came away. The KrN ma:l
war, which was believed to have the yellow fevt:
board, was still in the Bay under rigid quarantine.

We have received papers and letters from
to the 27th ult. An Extraordinary Gazette, pub.
lished at Cadiz on the 26th, contains the POPE'S
comunication of the EMPEROR of the FRENCH, gi fcn
in our Paper a few weeks ago. The Spanish Editcr
says he received a copy of this document from Fitute.
The same Spanish Gazette contains a series cf:e.
ports which we know to be false—namely, that ill!
Austrians having united with the Hungarian levy,
amounting to 65 or 70,000 men, broke the armistice
and commenced hostilities on the 23d of July ; and
that in subsequent battles the French lost 60,0C0ines
in killed, wounded, and prisoners ; among whom r ere
18 Generals of high rank : that on the 9. chh c I the
same month, the Archdukes CHARLES and Jolts hal
totally routed the French after a sanguinary conflict,
and compelled them to evacuate Vienna.
All this agreeable intelligence, as the Spaniard;
call it, is pretended to have been brought by a Spanish
courier dispatched from Buda by BARDAJI, the Am.
bassador from the Supreme Jul t t to th! Austrian
Court. Such are the means resorted to, to kcep up
the spirits of the Spanssh nation !
Gerona still held out on the 17th ult. Some par.
tial successes are stated to have been gained over tL
French, in the neighbourhood of Barcelona, to w!1:;1
place they had been compelled to retire. The retreat
of the English army from Talavera, is ascribed in
these Papers to the wish of Lord WELLINGTON, :)
gain the Plains of Castile, in order that his cavalry
may be able to act with more effect. The Span:).-;
armies of Galticia and Arragon are described as being
once more on a respectable footing.
We have inserted some private letters from/gad:id:
the circumstances under which they were written g:ve
them considerable interest ; but they betray great ig•
norance of the state of affairs throughout Spain.

Yesterday being the anniversary of their MarrsTtEs
wedding, it was celebrated at Windsor Palace as usual.
