VIENNA, Jost 21.—Rub has capitulated ;
this city forms an excellent position in the centre
of Hungary ; it is defended by bastions, its
ditches are full of water, and an inundation covers
a part of it ; it is situated at the contleeoce of
three rivers ; it resembles on a small scale the situ-
ation of the grand entrenched camp, where the
enemy hoped to assemble and exercise the Hunga.
rian insurreclion, and where he hug constructed 1
immense works. The garrison, 11100 strong, was
insufficient. The enemy intended to have left
five thousand men, but by the battle of Raab, his
army was separated from that place. The city '
has start:red considerably from a bombardment of
eight days, which has destroyed its finest edifices.
All that could be said as to the inutility of a defence
was ineffectual ; it was mi,,led by the hope of being
relieved. Count Metternich, after having remain.
rd three days at the advanced posts, returned to
Vienna. The Secretary of Embassy, Dation, and
the person attached to the allied legations, who
had not withdrawn previous to the capture of Vi.
enna, were set free on the confines of Hungary,
when intelligence of the loss of the battle of Raab
reached Buda.
Two battalions of landwehrs, two squadrons of
Helens, and one battalion of troops of the line,
forming together 2500 men, hue entered Bay.
math. They have, as usual, distributed procla.
stations, and endeavoured to excite insurrection'.
At tie same time, General Amende entered Urea.
den with three battalions of the line, three batta-
lions of landwehrs, and a collection of men raised
by the Duke of Brunswick, and some squadrons
of cavalry, drawn from different corps, forming, in
the whole, from seven to eight thousand men.
Tlieliing of Westphali,t has joined the 10th
saps, asd is ow his march ; the Duke of Vat'ay
bss pst in motion the advanced guard of the army
ef mar ve which he commands.

PRAGtit, JIM! 16.—The accounts received
here from the head quarters of the Archduke
Charles up to the 14th inst. state, that cutisidera-
ble movements arc observed throughout the whole
line of the arms, ; we likewise learn, by
informat on a hich has Leen received, that the dis-
positions made by the Emperor Napoleon for a
fresh tattle, which will be perhaps more sangui-
nary, and also more decisive than that of Esling,
arc nearly finished ; he will find his antagonist
well prepared against an attack, which he inomea-
tarily expects. Since the 9th of this month, the
head quartets of the Archduke have been at Wa-
gram. On the l2th his Highness issued the fol-
lowing order of the day :
" His Imperial Highness the Generalissimo this
day distributed the urrler and medals destined for
those officers and soldiers who have most di,tiii-
guished themselves. Fur this purpri,e his High.
ness proceeded from %%ingrain, traversing the
Grand Anny to the regiment of infantry at l•'roon.
In a circle, fyrrned by the Commanders of Corps,
and the Stair Officers, his Highness addressed a dis-
course to these brave men, ■nd presented himself
the decorations and medals. A serene sky gave
additional lustre to the fete of this day."

CAisL'L, Suss 22.—The Westphalian Moniteur
of this day contains the following article :

LONDON:
wommar, JULY 10•
--derh--

THAT the French *affairs in the Peninstilh are
declining, cannot now be doubted. From the
particulars published in the Gazette of Saturday,
relative to the evacuation of Curunna and Ferrol,
it ain't beeundittled, that the French armies in the
North of Spain are so reduced in numbers, as
to render a concentration of the remaining troops
essential to their general safety—and great indeed
must have been the redaction of that force, if the
assertion be correct, that not a siergle regiment
seep! the Imperial Guard has been nithdrawts
from Spain—this tends to spew, how
.finallN de-
structivc to the invaders must be a lung protract-
ed warfare, in a country of the vast extent of the
Peninsula.

The diversion in Germany has hitherto pre-
served Spain and Portugal from sobjegation.—Put
on the issue of the grand contest on the Danube,
depends the final deliverance of the Peniasula.—
Were the people of Spain unanimous in their re-
sistance—assisted as their efforts might be by the
power of England—the subjugation of the
seta by France, were physically inspotcil:te.-11sit
the Ministers of Great liritah arc clearly itscapablc
of wedding the vast power oft ais country with elftxt
—they have not even that ordinary share of human
wisdom, which enables the most imbecile Lilco (v
profit by experience.—And if the French are even.
tually compelled to retreat—they will of coarse
again take post behind the Ebro.—Our Ministers
have played the second gameexactly upon the same
principle as that upon w hick they lost the first--
the French will naturally pursue a similar course.
...If NAPOLEON succeeds in Germany, again will
he succeed is Spain....for, until the Press of that
country is set at liberty, awl. the Ingitisi.
tiun abolished, the majority of the population
of Spain will continue absolutely indifferent be-
tween FFR/lINAND and JOSEPH. That this apa.
thy exists in Spain and Portugal, we have the
testimony of the remains of that army which
marched from Lisbon to Salamanca, and effected
its retreat to Coruttua. That the inhabitants of
Spain and Portugal are to a certain extent awaken-
ing from their apathy by the oppression and atro-
cities of the French armies, is highly probable;
but we yet see no symptoms of that universal
spirit of revolt against the invaders, which de.
'total decisive and instant success ; and that there's
no inconsiderable French party amongst the Spani-
ards, the " particulars" its Inc Gazette proves
most clearly. The castle of Sits Felippe at Ferrol
is said to have been under the command of a per-
son appointed by Marshal N Ls-, attached to the
French interest, " with a garrison composed of a
" detachment of a legion raised by the enemy
" daring their possession of Ferrol and Co-
" runna." For the enemy to have raised a le-
gion in Ferrol and Corunna, the French iuterest
must have been very considerable.

Toe 22d French Bulletin was received in Lon.
don on Saturday morning—although it was with.
held until late in the evening of that day, for
what reason it is impossible to comprehend, as it
contains nothing to excite extraordinary interest.
The capitulation of Raab, on the 22d, is an.
flounced in the Bulletin, which is dated the 2lt
of June. Uoless relieved on the afternoon of the
14th, Raab was to be surrendered. In a pri-
vate letter received from Ilulland this morning
—it is asserted that Raab being relieved on
She 24th, diJ not surrender. On the subject
of this report, it may be observer], that if
Raab did not surrender on the day appointed,
the 22d Bulletin will, for the first time since the
communication by Bulletins kas been adopted,
have announced an event thae has not happened.
--The possibility of the truth of the Bulletin, and
of the relief of Raab, cannot to be sure be denied;
for as Raab is one hundred milts cast of Vienna,
the relief of ltaab in the afternoon of the day on
which it was to be surrendered—might be un-
known at Vienna on the same day.---That Rash
has surrendered, will not be doubted.--There is,
however, a possibility, and that is till, that it may
hare beets relieved before four in the afternoon o
the 24th.

Thu preparations of NApat.t:ov for crossing
the Danube, are continued with so much per•r-
verance and ittecsAnt labour, that it cannot be

doubted to be his intention to make a great and
decisive effort against the A listri.ins. Evvry ac.
count from the 15th instant, concurs in cnrro.
