field orthe clay of battle. The attack began with
st.brisle eminottedp sal along the line, which the
esetsy, aniwrred bi; a far superior number of
limey ordnance, and kept it up till night without
iaterriiption. The right wing of the Austrians
east's *the most splendid progresses. Adlerklaa
was tae n, and the enemy driven front Itussen-
bruise, lireiteulee, and llerschstellen. The ene-
tnj'seavalry on the kit wing
.was completely
routed," and Field-Marshal Lieutenant Klenati,
with the 6th corps, which he commanded in the
room of Fkld-Alarshal Lieutenant iiollar, who
was. taken iitl penetrated in the enemy's left filmic,
as Wes Esslitegen, Aspens, and the town of En-
zersdorf, made himself master of our intrenchinents,
which we had ebindened. the day before, took ten
pieces of cannon, and some thousand prisoners,
besides one eagle, and several stands of colours.
In the mean time the French centre, where the
Emperor Napoleon was, did not move from the
OM
at Itasclichrf; it was stationed there in seve-
ral ranks, consisting of upwards of sixty thousand
tcu strong, and continually lengthened its right
wing, opposite the left of the Austrians, till the
litter was quite ovens belated *bent noon, by a
mass of cavalry, and a great quantity of artillery.
The corps VI bias had beets expected from Marchech
dui nut arrive, and it was easy fur the enemy to
outflank our left wing ; their violent cross fire
boon silenced our batteries. Our 4th corps, which
was placed on our extreme loft, was repulsed, and
the heights in that quarter occupied by the enemy.
By this the 2tl corps in thu centre was not only
peeveated Irons undertaking the attack against
Rosektlorf, but was itself overwhelmed, and forced

the rear of the Imperial Royal army.. Night put
w end to the action. Its the battle nine pieces of
cannon were lost, in the retreat none; and the ten
pieces of cannon taken were carried elf. The
Archduke John arrived its the afternoon near sie-

The army coistiuued its retreat till the Oilt, in the

lkeruitsburg and Hullenbruto took firs, and the

On the 1 1 th, shortly before sun-set, in the hot.
test of the action, when bulls armies were fur the
sitost part drawn up facing one another, a formal
coofereace took place iffter some mutual menages,
and al last a temporary armistice, the waist of

uninterrupted conflict of upwards of eight days,

LONDON :
SATURDAY, AUGUST 26.

A Gorr,:Nattou Matt. arrived this mussing.
The following extracts contain the substance of
the intelligence received by this arrival :-
1
C.:AR(.SIIAM, Ave. s.—The whole of the pr.
rison of the island of Ertliolme has deserted,
having first spiked all the guns, destroyed the ma.
I gazines, and carried away all the small amts.
They art lied here yesterday in two vessels they
seized fur the purpose of niakigg their escape.
GOTTENRUUGH, Aue. 11.--Yesterday morning
the Danish'Agent here (Mr. Foy*), received or.,
dens to repair immediately to have an interview
with the King. The business seems so argent
that his instructions arc, to make the greatest ex-
ertions on his journey, and that on hi: arrival, he
A ill not even wait to alter his dress before he has
an audience of his Majesty.
CaaLscnont, Aueurr 6.—The convoy which
sailed from hence on the 3,1 inst. put back into
this port last evening. Three vessels got damaged,
and one galliot, a Russian prize, sunk.
Krum Carlshatu we learn, that 200 Danish std_
diets arrive:l them yesterday from Ertholmo,
from which place they deserted, having spiked all
the guns.
A Captain of a vessel, si ho arrived this morning
from Riga, says, that all Russian ships have been
put under embargo in the Russian ports, and it is
expected a general embargo will take place imme.
diately.
STOCKHOLM, Auo. B.—We have no kind of in-
telligence from our navy or army, but entertain the
most sanguine hopes, that Peace betwen this coon-
try and Russia will soon be concluded. A Mes-
sage sent to the Diet by his Royal Majesty on the
2Gth of last month, relative to the state of de.
fence of this country, contains the following
passage :—" Although his Royal Majesty
still hopes that o Peace, which is so earnestly
desired by the King, u well as his faithful
subjects, will soon be concluded, yet his Royal
Majesty feels obliged to pursue the most ef-
fectual alewife, of defence with the utmost vi-
gour, which alone cast HHIUCCOUr enemks to agree
to such terms, as the honour and independenci of
the country require, which his Majesty is firmly
detetmined to assert and maintain." •

A hater from Archangel, of the 43d of June
states, that the English have withdrawn from that
port; that the navigation is perfectly tree; and
that an American ship from Baltimore, and a Rms.
sian vessel hare already arrived in that harbour.—
(Stockholm Gazette.)

COPZNIRAGEK) AL:O. 4.—A letter from Leg.
horn, of the 15th of last month, contains the
following intelligence :•••••44 .fhe Pope yestorday
left Florence for Pisa, without any public cern.
monies, andunsier a guard. It is said that Is is

4° he oefilegralrlaspoilonce from Denmark
is that the Danish.Goveromeot will not, for the
•
present, licence en, more privateers ; and that
the American ihlps lately taken, will be liberated,
ea it b bygndhil lo ',courage neutral trade as
much as possible, lis tollo'qUelleC Of the great dim-
;tea felt for the want of colonial produce."

For the desertion of the Danish garrison, we
hays tko,t ti single hint given by which we can eon.
jectere the cause of so extraordinary an event.
The embargo In the Russian ports ;s the natural,
consequence of the appearance of the British
cruisers, which greatly interrupt and harass the
trade of Ressia. Raving effected the object of
the visit to Archangel, our mixers hare re-
tired, and the commerce of that place has
again resumed its usual course—but a wrong
Impression will naturally have been made on
the minds of the Muscovites--and it appears
very mammal° to suppose, that, had the British
Governmeet adopted the principle on which they
act In Russia, vit. " That you cannot make a
" Ruesien fret unless yon flay hint"—The Boy-
ardr, as the ancient Muscovite Noblesse are termed
._.might have given the " Ursa Major" of the
North some gentle hints of their dissatisfaction at
the line of politics into which he was cajoled at
I..*.rfurth. But our mild, forbearing Ministers
magnanimously confine their vigorous efforts to
the bombardment of the innocent towns of Copal-.
hagen and Flushing, whilst at Cronstadi and Revel
the Russian fleets have hitherto been suffered
to remain without molestation. It will, per.
haps, hereafter be discovered, that the 50,000
British troops, and almost countless ships of rear
and transports, now lingering in the Scheldt,
might have been employed more u►efully in the
Baltic early in the present spring, than they now
are, in knocking the dwellings in Flushing about
the ears of the inhabitants.

Axonal. the French and German papers which
arrived yesterday, are found two articles of a
somewhat contradictory tendency. It may be
recollected, that a few days ago an official account
of the Battle of Wagram appeared in the pubiie
Prints—we have now an Austrian official ace.ount
of that Battle, in which it is stated that the French
army consisted of 180,000 combatants, while that
of the Austrians did not amount to quite 100,000.
The Prague Official-Gazette, of the 3d instant,
boasts, that the Austrian army will be shortly in.
creased to 350,000. Where the excess of the
100,000 at the battle of Wagram is to be found,
we arc not told. The statement in the battle of
%Vagrant diners from this so materially, that no
aro not disposed to place much reliance un this
boasted strength of the Austrians. It will be
seen, that in the account of the battle of Wa.
gram, the circumstances ander which the Armis.
lice was concluded, are stated very differently
from what they wero in the French Bulletin..—
Tho Austrian account states the Armistice to
have been negociated in consequence of mutual
messages, and that it was equally Necessary to
both parties. NAPOLEON says, that the first ed.
mice: fur an Armistice were made by the Ans.
trians—on which point the account of the battle
of Wagrant is silent—but the assertion that it was
equally necessary for both parties, the terms of
the Armistice amply confute. Had the situations
of the armies been accurately balanced, there was
no necessity fur sacrificing the Tyrol, and the
strong fortresses which the Austrians gave up.
This Austrian official account is, therefore, clear-
ly deficient in candour—and manifestly designed
to operate as a palliative to the Austrians, and as
an anodyne to the good.people of Englaud. At
Paris, on the 10th, and at Hoursleans, on the
12th, the-terms of ileac between France and
Austria were believed to have been settled—and
this we think mei more consistent with probabi-
lity, than the rumours that have been so
trioesly circulated of the renewal of hustiliths.

The correctness of our statement, that the Dri-
thh Army in Spain had retreated near eighty miles,
has been doubted,-that statement is correct—
Ilaserws, at which Sir ARTHUR WCLLICOLZT
crossed the Tagus, is 14Sp►anish post leagues, equal
to 513 miles English, from Tatavern de la Reyna.—
from Almeria to Deleytosa is more than 20 miles.
Fur weeks, the public has been flattered
by the daily Prints with the expectation of the
evacuation of Spain by the French troop s—Souvr
and NZT were ruined—Yu-rot and &MAI.
TIAN', in despondence, were preparing to re.
treat from Madrid—sad the only gentian was,'
whether they world fairly tura their backs
on Spain, or again fake post behind the
Ebro. We were regesAfdly war* that their
numbers were so redea4, that to xesumeollfenaive
measures was impossible. NOV how deaf all this

turn out ? Wh► neither more nor lest than absolute
delusion and falsehood. The Courier of last night
in a species of apostrorhe, sousen.:..l: below the
' vol of even the mosotonon: COUrier) in Dallis&

leg the reire.st of Sir A. ly sr.LnLuir, invites a
comparison between his achievement; and those
vf the French 111arslials..--These ,cry s:tme
French Marshals, whose defeat, exiirpaiiun, and

annihilation have been rung in our cars fur weeks,
have, it seems, contrived to coucentrate their forces,
rbich are now impudently announced as amount.
lug to 70,000 men. We say impudently, for by
what eater epithet can these fabrications and im-
positions on the British public be correctly de.
.scribed 1 70,000 French troops! not row levies,
bat experienced seasoned troops—not as we were
told, destitute of cavalry and artillery, but amply
supplied with both, as the victory at Talavera
ebundautly testifies.
Mid the puldic, after all th:t has been said on the
agairs of Spain by The Courier, The Post (the
IVoLob's Paper), and T' he Times, the slightest
rayon to believe that the number of French troops
in the Peninsula amounted to 70,0:10 or even
40,000:7—And yet we find Madrid, l'ampelutia,
Barcelona, Saragossa, and nu:nitrous otl:er places
of importance held iu subjection ; and at the same
moment an tinny of 70,000 men literally &lying
the combined armies before them !!!

It is time, that the country began to reflect—.
Whatever may be the " consolatory. information"
of The Times, on the subject of the British armies
in Spain—to us the most consolatory of all in-
formation, would he their safe retreat from tbe Pe..
ninsula....in which they certainly arc encompassed
with dangers.
On the bravery of our troops and their Com.
=rider, we could descant as loudly, and with u
much pleasure, as any subjects of the British. Em-
pire. Sir A. WELLULTY :.as sr:questionably ren.
ducted himself with di!jaeguisbed ability ; and the
courage and patient endurance by our troops, of
unexampled privations, are beyond all praise.---Of
their meritsand their servictesgrateful country will
ever bear the must lively and grateful remembrance
--Sir A. Wer.r.Est.Er it is said, is to be rewarded
with a Viscounty and a Barony. Upon what prin.
ciple is the battle of Corunna inferior in merit to
that of Talavera ?—Yet the gallant Sir DAVID
BAIRD, the surviving Commander, has received at!
such distinguished mark of ap robation.

We are. happy in having it in our power to

gratified by a History, frill the inn of Mr.
bliCALLual) of the " lute Investigation."

Among other marks of honour paid to Ma
Excellency Lord Witt.t.rxr.im, the people of Ca-
diz brought out a French egg, and spread it epun
the steps of the landing-place in sncli a situation,
that the int foot which his Excellency set upon
Spanish ground must trample upon the colours of
the cruel foe of the Spanish nation.

The report of the Fr: ich prisoners on hoard
the /Ode, off Walchcren, having made an at-
tempt to overpower the crew of that ves►J, wo
understand, is unfouudod. There' are letters iu
town from the Fork, down to tho 20th last int
inclusive, which make no allusion to any such cit.
cumstance.

With the Bert now about to ail from Ports.
mouth, reinforcements arc going out to ill the rc..
mesas in tipain, cdvalry as well as infantry.
The Hussar brigade will be got rowdy fur ser:

A contract for shoes was made in Madrid las(
June, for the supply of the French infantry, to
the extent of 37,000 pair, at the enormous rate,
in British currency, of 111. per pair.
Yesterday 300 men were drafted from th•
Coldstream, and second regiment of Guards, with
orders to hold themselves in readiness at.an honr►s

The builders of houses in the vicinity of Lon.
don express their seep' ize that any of them should

is partly the ease, some of them having been con..
gtructed of wood that never was seasoned, and of
bricks not half burnt.
A most pompous account of the noble descent
and great Airtime of Capt. BARCLAY was given
