FRENCH NAVY.

Some years ago we presented a list of the'Frcnch
Navy to our Readers. Some of our Naval Corres.
pondents enabled us to supply some deficiencies, and
to make it so correct as to become a table of reference
to the politician. We now present a new catalogue
of the ships and fligates of our arch-enemy, and we
trust we shall be favoured with hints for correction
from our naval friends.

PORTUGAL.

Neither the•private nor printed accounts from Lis-
bon come down later than the capture of Oporto.
The letters state the loss of the enemy in the action
of the I2th, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, at
2000 men ; bat we think the number must be a little
exaggerated ; for from all the accounts that have
reached us, we are inclined to believe that we had
only the rear of Soutr's army to contend with—the
main body having left Opoi to two days before the
arrival of the English. The action r:f the 12th gave
them another day hi advance, so that we may consi-
der their main army as being full three days march
before the British. To this it is added that each
French soldier was furnished with two pair of shoes—
a very necessary article in the case of a retreat, and
one in which it is said our troops were deficient.
The French retreat has been marked by the most
horrid barbarities towards the unhappy people through
whose country tlicy marched, and utter indifference
towards those of their companions whom disease or
fatigue disabled from accompanying them. These
they abandoned as victims to the rage of the Portu-
guese pe.santry, who were harassing them on their
retreat. It is not inconsistent that this latter division
of the French army should exhibit all the symptoms
of a disgraceful flight, at the same time that the
greater part of the army may have effected its retreat
in a way that leaves it still formidable, more especially
if it has reheated to a province %slice it may receive
reinforcements.

OVIEDO, MAY 5.

It is now satisfactorily ascertained, that King Jo
seph has retreated to Burgos. In the Castiles, the
natives have risers upon the enemy. The French
who intended to reinforce Ney have abandoned their
d2aign, and retired to Benavente and Valencia de St
Juan. Those who were in the city of Leon have also
withdrawn.

In Gallicia we go on well. St. Jago is repossessed
by us, according to an express which arrived yester-
ciay to the Seignor" Romani. The enemy was re-
pelled with great slaughter. We took a quartity of
artlery, and a great deal of specie, plate, and other
valuables. Part was embarked ; the rest in St. Jago.
I believe the French are cooped up in Lugo and Co-
runna.

Ballasteros made a successful attack on the French,
very beneficial in its consequences, an I highly honou-
rable to Asturian courage. We made 150 prisoners,
among whom are four officers : we also took some
artillery ; 600 of the enemy were left dead on the
field.

FOBTUGUESE ACCOUN:TS OF THE LATE ENGAGEMENTS
BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND THE FRENCH.
Madain, near Oliveira, May st.
Yesterday the first action took place, between a
division of the combined army and the enemy, with
the success which was to be expected.
Lieutenant-General Wellesley reached Vanga on
the 9th inst. [The arrangements for the march and
attack hereinentioned, are the same which are known
from the Gazette.]
On the 10th, at six o'clock in the morning, the di-
visions of the combined army arrived in the large
riain situated between the two Allserzarias. The
English cavalry advanced in close column against the
French, drawn lip for action. The French made a
charge in c:ose colt mi, which 'he E receiv-
ed with their ch:iracteristic firms ess, and, charging
the French in return, defeated and compelled them
to retreat in confusion, and take shelter in an open-
ing between the mountains.
Here they were again attacked by a corps compos-
ed of the English chasseurs of Stewart, Trant's Por-
tuguese chasseurs, and a detachment of Engl s'i horse.
This corps, joined by some English infantry, attacked
the French, supported by their infantry, which kept
up a heavy fire ; but they were compelled to give
way, and fall back to Albergaria Ni)va, yet without
stopping there, being alm,,st completely surrounded
by the English horse. The lass which they sustained
en their retreat was very severe, occasioned chiefly
by the English artillery, and two Portuguese pieces
of cannon, commanded by Lieutenant Guterres, who
greatly distinguished him-elf in the action.
The French had no sooner entered Albergaria than
they were driven out again. The Portuguese chas-
seurs were the first who advanced into the place, and
behaved so gallantly, that their intrepidity and valour
were deservedly admired by ail the English troops
who witnessed their conduct. The French retreated
in the most shameful manner, being constantly pur-
sued by the English horse, until they arrived in the
vicinity of Pinheiro, where they rallied, and sheaved an
intention to fall on Trant's division ; but General
Cotton, at the head of the English cavalry, charged
the French with such vigour, that they were com-
pletely routed, and fled in the utmost confusion.
They were pursued to Oliveira, where General
Wellesley also directed the whole action at the head
of General Stewart's division. We are not yet able
to ascertaili the enemy's loss, but it was considerable.
In Albergaria, a large portion of the enemy's spoils
fell into cur hands. All the different corps behaved
with the utmost gallantry, and the Corps Academico
'a corps composed of students) fully justificil the
opinion with which they have inspired Colonel
Ti ant, by the whole tenor of their conduct while he
his commanded the corps.
Of Majar-General Mill's division we have no cir-
.:..rrst niial inforrnati‘m, and only know that it landed
at Ovar, and defeated not only the French who occu-
ned tile place, but also those who came from Vella
!e Feira to succour them.
London, England, 1809-05-30

AVEIRO, MAY 10.

A division of English troop;, commanded by Ma-
x-General Hill. disembai keit! List night in Ovar, and
,mpletely defeated the French who were in that
:Ace. The division ct utint.ed to push on, and routed
nx other French cca-ps, which endeavoured to ob_
ruct theU- mare?:, and will enter Villa de Feir.t in
'he core of tomorrow. Many horses have been
n, and 1360 I ullccks stolen by the enemy, and
illected in the fields of Anjej.i.
Yesterday t(g1) infantry and siX pieces of cannon,
'tre embarked I ere for Ovar, they will be
„.cied this night.

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE..

King Joseph having left Madi id, has already
arrived at Burgos. The inhabitants of the Castiles
have risen in mass against the French, and are de-
stroying them by small parties. The French troops
that had marched from Arragon to succour Marshal
Ney, have had an engagement with the Gallicians,
and the troops of Romans, and were defeated and
driven back ; and their headluarters are at Bene-
vente and Valencia de Don Juan : to this last point
our troops are marching, our advanced-guard already
occupies Astorga.
The Marquis de la Romana has this moment re-
ceived an official account, dated the 4th instant,
which states, that Tuy and Santiago have been both
retaken from the French, whose loss is great. We
have taken all their artillery, money, and chi r,:h-
plate, with the whole of their plunder. Vallesteros
has rendered important services to the Asturians ; he
has just gained a brilliant victory over the French,
taken four officers, one hundred and fifty men, and
all their artillery. The lo:s of the French in killed
amounts to six hundred. Had his Puce been suffi-
ciently strong, he would have matched from Reynosa
and retaken St. Andero.

ADDRESS TO THE GERMAN NATION :

" His Majesty the Emperor of Austria is forced
to take up arms, because the French Emperor will
not tolerate the existence of a State which does not
acknowledge his supremacy of power, nor stoop to
become subservient to his views of conquest ; because
he requires that Austria shall renounce her indepen-
dence, unbend her energies, and surrender at the
Conqueror's discretion ; because the armies of the
Emperor of France, and of his dependent allies, ad-
vance against Austria with hostile views.
" The forces of Austria have risen for self-defence
and self preservation at the nod of their Monarch; I

am leading them on against the enemy, to prevent
the certain attack he prepared against us.
We pass the frontiers not as conquerors—not as
enemies of Germany—not to destroy German insti-
tutions, laws, customs, and manners, and impose fo-
reign ones ; not to appropriate to ourselves the pro-
perty of Germany, or to sacrifice her children in
distant wars, carried on to destroy and subjugate fo..
reign nations. No ;we fight to assert the indepen•
dence of the Austrian Monarchy, and to restore to
Germany the independence and national honours
which are due to her.

gg The same pretensions which now threaten us
have already proved fatal to Germany. Our assist-
ance is her last effort to be saved. Our cause is that
of Germany. United with Austria, Geribany was
independent and happy; it is only through the assist-
ance of Austria that Germany can receive happiness
and independence.

66 Germans ! Consider your destruction. Accept
the aid we offer, and co-operate with us for your sal-
vation. We demand from you no exertions, but such
as the war for our common cause requires. Your
property and your domestic peace are secured by the
discipline of our troops. The Austrian armies will
-not oppress, nor rob you ; they respect you as
brethren, chosen to fight jointly with us, for your
cause and for ours. Be worthy of our respect ; such
Germans only as forget themselves are our enemies. •
66 Depend on my word, which I have more than
once pledged, and redeemed, to save you! Depend
on the word of my Emperor and brother, which has
never been violated.
(Signed) 16 CIIARLESs Generalissimo."
London, England, 1809-05-01

PROCLAMATION.

4‘ FRANCIS I. by the Grace of GOD, Emperor of Austria, fcc.
" PEOPLE OP AUSTRIA !—I leave my capital to join
the brave defenders of the country, assembled on the
frontiers for the protection of the State.
For these three years past I have made the utmost
exertions to procure you, my beloved subjects, the
blessings of a permanent peace. No sacrifice, any
ways consistent with your welfare and with the
inde-
pendence of the State, however painful, have I spared
to secure your tranquillity and welfare by a friendly
understanding with the Emperor of the French.

64 But all my endeavours proved fruitless. The
Austrian monarchy was also to submit to the bound-
less ambition of the Emperor Napoleon ; and in the
same manner he strives to subdue Spain, insults the
sacred Head of the Church, appropriates to himself the•
provinces of Italy, and parcels out the German domi-
nions, Austria was to do homage to the great emjire,
the formation of which he has loudly announced.
" I have adopted all necessary measures to assert
the independence of the State. Not only have' ye
answered my call, but your love for your native coun-
try has prompted you to anticipate it. Accept my
cordial thanks ; they will be repeated by my posterity
and yours. Self-defence, not invasion, was our aim.
But the Conqueror will not allow the Sovereign of his
People, strong in their mutual confidence, to possess
sufficient means to oppose his ambitious views. He
declared himself hostile to Austria, unless she should
relinquish her measures of defence, and, prostrate her-
self, disarmed, at his feet.—The disgraceful proposal
was rejected ; and now his hosts are advancing against
us, arrayed for battle.

" I confide in GOD, in the valour of my armies,
in the heroic conduct of my brother, who leads them
on to glory, in you, my beloved people, our exertions
for this war are great ; but such they must be, in
order to attain more securely the important end of
self-preservation.
" What you have hitherto done is the most unques-
tionable pledge of the powerful assistance which I am
to receive from you. They who bear no arms will
also share in the protection of their country. Una-
nimity, order, obedience, activity, and confidence
constitute the real strength of a nation. You have
evinced them, and to this alone is it owing, that we
start with a fairer prospect of success than we ever
did. Fortunate events will not unnerve your energy,
nor disastrous occurrences, should any happen, shake
your firm resolve. Perseverant valour overcomes all
dangers, enhances every advantage, and supplies all
losses. Our cause is just; PROVIDENCE does not for
sake those who do not forsake themselves.

" I depend *on your love, your tried fidelity tp your
Prince and Country: Depend ye on the paternal so-
licitude of your Monarch, who finds all his happiness
in yours. (Signed) •4 PRANCLS."

DRESDEN, APRIL 13.

After it transpired last night that a declaration of
war had been made on the part of Austria, and that
hostilities had even taken place on the 9th and 10th
instant, not far from Pilsen, all became very livety in
Dresden. The Saxon troops still in Poland have been
ordered back by couriers, three regiments marched
this day to Voightland on the frontiers, and three
others entered Dresden as garrison, the rest encamped
this day pear Reichenberg, two leagues from this city.,
They speak of a similar camp near Pirna.
It is also rnmoured, that orders have been given to
hold every thing in readiness for the departure of the
King and Royal Family.
APRIL 16.—The day before yesterday arrived here'
the French Colonel Le But N, Aid-de-Camp of the
Prince of /sfEuFcitaTEL, with dispatches for the Prince
of PONTE CORVO. A few hours after his arrival the
Saxon army, commanded by the Prince just men-
tioned, put itself in motion ; it is destined to form a
junction with a French corps, which is on its march
to meet it.

In order not to expose this capital to a siege, all
the works are dismantled, and the ordnance is con-
veyed to Magdeburg'n, on the river Elbe.
Letters from Hanover state, that a camp is to be
formed near that city, and that his Westphalian Ma-
jesty will assume the command in chief of a detached
corps of the combined army.
London, England, 1809-05-01

MUNICH, APRIL 8.

At five o'clock, P. M. yesterday, intelligence was
spread over this city that the Austrians had crossed
the Rhine in two places, viz. at Wessenburgh and
Scharding. After this information, every thing was
hastily packed up, and preparations were made for
their Majesty's departure to Augsburgh. The Regi.
ments of Lite Guards in garris n here, which on this
intelligence immediately marched out, returned soon
afterwards ; and the departure of the Royal Party for
Augsburgh is countermanded, and they still remain
here.

APRIL 10. This afternoon their Majesties the King
and Queen tool; their departure from hence, attended
by Baron Montgelas, Minister of State, and some part
of the Court; they are expected to reach Dillingen
to-morrow at noon, where they %yin alight at the house
of Count Fuggen Glott.
