AUSTRIAN ACCOUNT OF TILE BATTLE

OF ESS LING.

BOURIVAI JUNE 14.—The Austrian account of
the battles of the 21st and 22il of May has now
been published. and OCCdpies 25 pages in quarto.
—The strength of the Austrian army in this
battle is given in this account at 103 batta-
lions, and 148 squadrons, or 75,000 men.—
The Austrian artillery amounted to ',MI pieces.
The Archduke Charles took his position at
the head of the second column. The relation
then proceeds to detail the great strength of the
villages of Aspern and Eslingen, and the
obstinacy with which the contest was car.
vied on to obtain possession of the for..
mer, which was of the greatest importance. The
contest was carrird on in every street, in every
house, and in every barn. Waggons, ploughs, and
harrows, were to be remOred out of the way, un-
der an incessant fire, in order to enable us to
close with the enemy. It was necessary to dis.
lodge 'the enemy from the church steeple, the high
trees, the ground floors, and cellars, before ire
! could call ourselves masters of the place, and then
this was of short duration. Scarcely had we jot
l possession of one street. or one house, when the
enemy stunned another, and forced es to ahno_
don the former. In this manner the murderous
fight continued for several hours on the 21st ;
the German battalions were supported by the Hun.
garians, and by the Vienna volunteers. On the
22d of May more than 400 cannon were in play
on both sides, and the oldest soldiers never recol-
lected such a are. Above all, the Austvian Ge.
nerals were at the head of their troops; The
Archduke Charles himself seized the colours of
the. battalion Von Zach, which began to give way.
Most of those around him were wounded ; his
Adjutant-General, Cotint Colloredo, had his
head grazed by a ban, which 'at first eppeared
dangerous ; the pressure of the hand of his hu.
mane Commander restored. him to feeling.
The Austrian army lament the deatb'of 87
perior Officers, and 4199 subalterns and' prirai..-
Field. Marshals the Prince do Rohen, Dedoy,,
Weber, and Frevel, with several Generals,
Officers, and 15,651 privates were wounded,
wbum Field-Prim-still Weber, 8 Officers, Sod at,
privates were madie prisoners by the enemy.

The Duke of Montrose has brought Jamaica
letters and papers to the 23d of May. Tile city
of San Domingo was expected soon to surrender.
The Spaniardi have near it about 3000 elective
men ; but the French had again taken possession
of the fort of St. Jerome. On the sth current
an advauced guard of 100 men *as lent from the
city, with to view to surprise the Spanish piquet
of 60 men. The latter perceived them, and
posted themselves in ambush. Upon the approach
of their adversaries they opened a fire quits them,
which killed a Lieutenant-Colonel of Preach re-
gulars, and 40 men on the spot, and wounded se-
veral. The rest tied back to the city.
The Princess Charlotte frilate arrived on the
17th of April at Barbattoes, with 86 sait under
convoy. Thu ships Duncan and Canada, fur De.
marara, and five others for Surinitn, !rad sepa.
rated, making the'93 which sailed togct:ter from
Cork.

About 176 sail of Americans had arrived at St.
Bartholomew's prior to the '22d of April, and
in consequence provisious were very low in price.
The inhabitants of Guadaloupo had become es.
tremely dissatisfied, owing to the irupostiihi3Oy of
sendiag.more than a very trifling part of their pro.
duce to market, under the fear of our numerous
cruisers ; and it was uwerally believed if a re-
spectable force were sent against the island it
would become an cagy conquest.
