J.snet the French armies have been on 14e de-
f.- toe, fur we have, in those documents, slide,
me :is of the successful repulse of two corps of
Aratri tar that had craned Site Danube, one at
ms, with 1000, and the other at Presburg,
tit:i 900 u men ; and on the fortifications at In-
every resource of human in.
•entii•s and labour has been exhausted.—By
..te army of Italy, NAPOLEON has already been
joined—and he appears to have been resolved to
wait for further reinforcements, before he resumed
eit.istve operation4.---The lath Bulletin, dated
toe 4th of June, announces the arrival of the
D .he of RtousA (Marmont) at Laybach—
which, in the 13rti Bulletin, It was only hoped
he would reach before the sth of June—so
that Ise is approaching the Grand Army at Vienna
snore rapidly than was even hoped. Thus far the
French Bulletins.

From the Foreign Journals, it is known,
by a variety of concurring accounts, that the
forced march, of the Duke of DA NTZIC, was
suspended, by (he " resuscitation," in the Tyrol,
of the Insurgents, against whorl the Duke of
VALM T (Kellerman) is hastening from Frankfurt,
with a corps of 10,000 men. The grand line of
operations, at the date of the last accounts, ex.
tended from Lintz to Presburg,—both on the Da.
ntibe.—The grand tete-du-pont is committed to
the protection of the Duke of Ht vol.* (Massetia),
arid the Austrians are said to have thrown up
formidable intrenchments directly in front of that
work; sn that both parties are as it were at bay,
nintually afraid of commencing the onset ; though
it cannot he denied, that the Austrians hav6 made
demonstrations of attack by their crossing the
Ihnube at Krems and at Preshurg. Iu the
mein time, while NA.,ot.xos is awaiting re-
inforcements, the Archduke CLIA:: LES is said
to have been reinforced by the Hungarian
Insurrection, to the amount of 00,000 men. Of
the Archduke Jolts, there is no certain inlet&
puce, since he evacuated Gratz, of which place
Gen. Nlacnort.4l.o is said, in the 16th Bulletin,
to be master—" having reduced the Castle, which
46 seemed disposed to make WOW resistance." It
will be remembered, that in the 14th Bulletin;
dated June lit, it is said, "Gee. MACDON ALD has.
entered Gratz." And front the repetition of that
fact, in the 16th Bulletin, it may be concluded
that the Castle had, at least, retarded his advance

'some days.
The report of a battle oo the 121 h, communi.,
tatted la the letter which *u received from Hol.
laud on Saturday, continues to be confidently
eireeleteil, with the additloo of ceramics pard.
culars, all of which, as well as the fact, of a
battle bailer been fought, rest solely on the au.
Mistily of rumours, excited and propagated in
csismsence of the letter from Holland.

A Report is is circulation that intelligence is
received by Government, confirming the statement
contained in the Letter from Holland, given on
Saturday—and that being finally defeated, the
Preach are in full retreat.—Of the truth of this
report we have not the means of judging.

It is reported that a change has taken place in
Else arrangements of office...the Marquis WELLES..
LIT to accept the office of Secretary of State for
the AVar Department, and Lord CASTLZREAGII to
go out to Spain.
The naval part of the grand Armament now
preparing will, it is said, be commanded by Sir
RICHARD STRACHAN. The Generals already
named for the army are, Lientenant-Generals Sir
ETRE Coots. Sir JOHN CRADDOCK, the Marquis
of lIUNTLIIVI Sir JOEY HOPE, MACKENZIE-
FRASER, and GatosvENon—blajor.Generals

Sir WILLIAM Easatus, and Dsorr —Brigadier.
General !Lawson, &c. Major-General Nl'Lron,
Adjeutant..G. neral, and Lieutenant Gen. BRAT
mos, Quarter-blaster-General. The cavalry to
be under Lord Ruoictst.

The recapture of St. Andero is confirmed by a
letter from Captain hat, of the Amelia frigate,
published in Saturday's Gazette.
Prince STAlitill outs, it is said, has received
dispatches, dated the 28th nit. from the Austrian
army, which state the important fact, that the
Hungarian levy, to the amount of 60,000 men,
would join the Archduke Cuant.ts by the 9th
instant.

An important article is contained in one of the
Journals, brought by the Crottenburgh
via. that the Emperor Ar.vxaxiita has actually set
out for Eoninpburgh, to have a conference with
the King of PIU4SIA.
Letters from Holland, by the vessel which
brought the papers received on Saturday, mention
that great apprehensions were entertained that a
Decree for a rigorous and extensive conscription
would immediately 'ppm. It is reported that an
embargo 'took plate in thc Dutch ports on Wcd.
ncsday or Thursday.
The Gazette of Saturday contains an Order in
Connell for continuing the prohibition against the
evportation of naval stores for six months, from
the 14th of July next.
The intelligence of thc victory obtained by the
Archduke CHARLES did not, ostensibly at least,
Sake any impression at St. Petersburgb favours..
'Me to Austria in the Russian Councils, as on the
following day Prince SCIIWARZENBERG, the Au-
stria. An.bassadur, kit that city.
