OFFICIAL BULLETIN.

" FOREIGN OFFICE, May 24, 1615.

46 Letters were received last night from Lord
Burghersh, dated the 3d inst. which state, that the
Austrian General Bianchi was that morning engaged
with three Neapolitan divisions in an action, which
terminatetl in their total discomfiture, and the ,ad..
ranee of the Austrians from Tolentino to within a
short distance of Macerate. " •
" By the rapidity with which General Bianchi
had conduced his march from Bologna through Flmi
retire and Feligno, he was enabled to occupy
red road from Ancona to Naples, and thereby to
turn the positions of the Neapolitan army, Murat
was consequently obliged. to fight a battle, in the
hopes of securing his retreat to the frontiers of the
Neapolitan Stites.
46 General Bianchi, on the (2(1 of May, took op a
position on the heights in front of Tolentino,
tending between the rivers Chienti on his right, end
Potenza on his left. Murat advanced against him
from Macerate with the divisions of Generals ',Won,
' Pignatelli, and Ambrosio ; and occupied the heights
about Monte Mitotic..

" Early on the 3d the Neapolitans attacked the
centre and right of the Austrians, commanded by
Generals Mohr and Stahremberg ; but this attack
having failed with loss the whole efforts of Murat's
am, were directed against the Austlians' left. This
attar k, made in three heavy columns of 'infantry, in
mass, supported by cavalry and artillery, was re•
ceived by an Austrian brigade, directed by Generid
Bianchi, who succeeded, with the assistance of two
squadrons of cavalry, in taking one of the masses
and &sprain the others.
66 Soon after this failure Murat began his retreat ;
he was pursued with activity till dark ; near 1000
prisoners were taken during that day ; Gen. Collier
and an Aid.de•Canip of General Medecis were
among these. Generals Ambrosio and Campine
were wounded.
" Gen. Niepperg, with his corps, was it memo:

PIP CCP ra.

" Subsequent letters from Lord Burghersh, dated
Rome, May 7, state, that General Nieppeig arrived
at Monte Cassino° on the 3d at night, and was or.
dered to meet General Bianchi on the 4th at Mace:
rata. A detachment of the corps of Geo. Nugent,
which was blowing by Rietti upon Aquila, encoun.
tered, on the Ist May, a body of 500 Neapolitans,
and defeated it with great loss.
46 The enemy was commanded by Gen. Mon,lgni,
and occupied a strong post upon the road between
Civita Ducale and Introdoro, from which, however,
they were immediately driven back by a gallant at.'
tack, conducted by Major Flette; two Officers and
several prisoners were taken, and a considerable
number threw down their arms' and dispersed. The
peasants of the neighbourhood took an active part
in pursuit of the Neapolitan fugitives.
" Major Flette, after this success, marched upon
Aquila, where he arrived on the 2d. The garrison,
consisting of 300 men, retired into a castle• on his
arproach. On the 4th they capitulated, giving up
10 pieces of artillery, with a cousiderahle quantity
of ammunition, and being allowed to return to Na.
pies, under the condition of not serving against the
Allies for the space of one mouth."

A Dutch Mail arrived a short time before this
Paper we9t to Press. The accounts from Brussels are
or the 17th inst., and announce an important move-
ment on the part of the French army on the frontier,
the strength of which is pretty evident from the arti-
cle which contains the information. It is as fol-
lows:

BRVSSELS, MAY 17.—The main body of the French
force that was about Valenciennes has marched, ac-
cording to a telegraphic dispatch, in three column!. of
16,000 men each, towards the Ma.•le, taking the
direction of Givet. This movement, the ()Wet of
which it is hard to conceive, has been executed with
remarkable precipitation. The Prussian Army on
the Meuse has again been reinforced by a great many
troops, particularly cavalry. Charleroi and the
Sombre are covered by a powerful force. The English
and Ilanoverians continue to concentrate their army
on the frontiers. The French have broken down all
t She bridges on the whole line from Donny to Grave.
