IPKOPOSIfI TEN 11.

LONDON:
TIIVII7DIY, JULY G.

LAil night a series of foreign Journals arrived
in town--German to tht. 2.sth—French, contain-
in; the 'nth Bulletin, to the Ygth of June—and
Datch to the 3d inst.-4nd this morning Por.
tnguese to the 16th ult.

Nerrr, till the Battle of Ealing, was the arrival
of a French Bulletin announced, but that some
signal advantage of the enemy was aoticipated—
but from that period to the '2oth ult.—the date
of the 10th Bulletins wbich arrived in town
yesterday—and Mill from Vienna—we hare had
ten successive Bulletins, in which nut one
single movement of the Grand French Army Is
announced. The rising of the Danube has been
recorded—and the preparations for the passage of
that 11:rcr have been annoßneed.--hut the lung
protracted inactivity of an army of '200,000 men,
is indisputably indicative of a waht of confidence,
at least until be derives additional strength to this
alreadj mighty force, by the arrival of fresh
troop?, and the cu.operation of tht Russian army.

In !halo* Bulletin is annenissed the retirement
of the impress from Buda, immediately os hear.
ing of the victory of Baab-"--and in a letter sub-
joined to the Bulletin—as evidently fabricated as
the letter from Briotenlce, and others in the Trea-
sury loons*ls...she's said to have proceeded to
Hatwan, a small town on the road which, crossing
the Carpathian moentitins, forms the entrance to
Gallic's.

" The enemy's arms was pursued during the
" 15th and lath, and at last passed the Danube
66 over the bridge of Consorts." Now the
town of Raab is in the best paragraph said to
be invested; and that place being at some distance
from Comoro, it is evident that -the retreat, at
least from Raab, was perfectly unmolested. To
have prevented the army under the Archduke
Jane, which, according to the French accounts
of the battle of Raab, was between 40 and
50,000 strong, from crossing the Danube,
and effecting a junction with his brother, must
have been an object of the first importance with
the French ;—and had not the Duke of Ave's.
wraor, in his position on the Danube opposite to
Prusburgh, been kept in full check by the Ans:
trians there, he might unquestionably, when ,the
Archduke Joust was at Konnend, have placed
himself in a position to have completely cut off his
retreat on Comoro ; for it will be seen, on iu-
specting the map, that AUERSTADT might have
reached Raab, from the right bank of the Danube,
near Presburg, as soon as the Archduke Joins.
If AUERSTADT had been successful in his attack
in the tao du pont at Presburg, the retreat of the
Archduke Josef by Comons was impossible. It
is reasonable, therefore, to conclude, that the
junction of the Archduke Joist/ with his brother,
was a measure that was absolutely decided upon ;
and, as it has been effected, he has succeeded—
even though the French were as successful as they
boast at Raab. 'This accession of force will, to a
certain degree, counterbalance the presence of the
Russians, who are asserted by the French to have '
' actually entered Moravia. While the Austrians
are extending themselves over the territories of
the vassal Kings of NA:oLtox—the Duke of
VALNY (Kellerman), and General GRATIESI
with their corps, are hastening by different routes
to the grand scene of action, the Danube, on the
banks of which a force so mighty is collected as
was, perhaps, never before exhibited 4,n the grand
prize-fighting stage of &trope. The Austrians
are said to have been very cordially received iu
Dresden. This account is corroborated by the
public disavowal which the King of SAXONY has
found it necessary to publish, of the error of
which his Privy Council has been guilty, 64 in
" sending one of its Secretaries to the Emperoi
" Of Aunns& and the Archduke GHARLES."

It a ill be seen, in the article of intelligence from
Schoenbrnun, that NApoLrov is organizing the
new administration of the " conquered pro.
sinter" of Austria, and has even appointed a
" Great Hunter and Prcservator.Gerieral of Fo-
ci rests." These acts may result from the con&
dente the French Emperor has of his ultimate suc.
ass...but to vulgar minds it certainly has the
appearance of disposing of the skin before the
bear is caught.

The details of the operations in the North of
Spain that will be found in the French Papers--
add in what is called the Bulletin of the Army of
Spain, differ very widely from the accounts which
are communicated to us in tha Public Journals of
Portugal ;—but from the recent accounts that have
been reevived, there is reason to believe that the
diminution of the French armies—continually
wasting•—without means of recruiting their losses
—has at length reduced them to a situation in
which they will be less formidable than they hire
hitherto appeared to be.—Ferrol and Corunna,
it is now said, were evacuated in consequence of
the last action at St. Payo--thib is infinitely more
probable than that the French should, after having
been driven out by the inhabitants of those places,
have advanced in the direction of Portegal. The
&tracts from the Portuguese Papers received this
day are interesting, inasmuch as the continued
corroboration of accounts of the successes of the
Spaniards, certainly induces that belief which we
are, is general, constrained to withhold from the
intelligence communicated in the Newspapers of
Spain and Portugal. In Ferrol, the line of battle
ships and frigates have been left undamaged by
the enemy, which is a circumstance not easily ac.
counted for, as the French cannot hope that they
will be E.uffered to become a prey to them a
second time.

His Majesty's brig the Golo4ch arrived at Ply.
mouth on Monday, and confirms the account of
the capture of Ferrol and Corunna. The re-
ported intelligence that has transpired by this ar.
rival, is as follows :
" That Marshal Nit v marched from Carsten, with TAOS
men, to attack the Patriot army. consisting of about 10.000
men, 3,000 of whets were pesiumory, potted is the neigh-
bourhood of that place. tbs the advance of the Presorts di-
vision, the Spaniards retreated until they had agreed is Widish
over which they permitted part of the eamey's di tiiien to
pass, and great number; were so the e& of so dolnj, s hen the
Spsuisris blew it up by Ine6Ll4 Of atrain prepared far that
porposesand all on it went into the waters, aad perished. The

Spaniards tbe. advairtalt as dint part that bad crossed, and

cunt naval fine so that Natio, the ship sight hare bees
Wright away. The news of oar ships Were about to be
loaded, to do what they cod& is eadear oaring to 4t out, and
brim tome of thea away."

Stich is the reported account brought by the
Goldfinch, of the correctness of which we bare
not the means of judging.

Tar retreat of King Joseen from Madrid, so
confidently reported in the intelligence from Por.
tugal, rests upon very slender authority, lf,
however, the contents of these papers are natal:.
solute falsehoods, the affairs of the French in the
Peninsula are absolutely and rapidly decliniug.
The imperious necessity of reinforcing the army
on the Danube—leaves the- French in Spain to
the chance of maintaining themselves by their
own resourgps...and they may., if not reinforced,
beat the Spaniards until their own numbers shall
be so diminished as to reduce them tea defensive
warfare—that would inspire the Spaniards
with conidener, and increase their numbers....
Adasitting,. with all due allowances, the general
complexion of affairs in the Peninsula to be enfa.
vourahle to the French—in any proportion ap-
proaching to the representations that are now
nude—could one Frenchman escape from the
Peninsula if the British Army now in Portugal...

engaged in giving military interviews on the sub.
ject of the Expedition. It has, however, been
whispered—',,it a fresh attempt to bind the brows
of a Royal Duke with c&ntincntal laurels is in
petto. Ministers will thus be furnished with a
strong argument of defence against the accusation
of employing an untried num.

Three vessels arrived at Dover on Tuesday from
Holland, the masters of which state, that at (heir

The private letters from Holland of the td inst.
repeat the former accounts relative to the discon.
tents of the people of that country, and of Flan.
ders ; and the Dutch Papers state, that the corps of
the Austrian Geller*, J&LLaczticit was cut off by
the French after the battle of Raalb ; but the
40th Bulletin gives a Rat contradiction to this state-
ment.

We yesterday received Jamaica Papers- to the
