therefore. no better authority than the unautl,enticat-

"a private letter from Holland, dated laR Saturday.
arrived in town laf night. 1t a a,es that the vso.r,i
battle was fought lah Saturday week, the 10Th inn
that It was mott obitinate and bloody, and that the
Auitrians made a long and vigorous refaance tina
battle lated the greater part Of the gay. yiaorv.
however, at length decided in favour of the nropuen.
and the Auttrians We're com letely defeated-~the
whole line OF the !ier was forced-Ulm and IFS ma0a-
zines, cannon and baggage taken-and Gen. Mack.
with the whole of his faf, made prifoners. The LOLA

the 'is OF the Aufsria1,-it was immenle too. NJ
doubt, on the part of the French. None of the nane,
q the killed or wounded officers have vet trnnCpired.
eut the letter adds, " that thoSe who ilrvived tive
battle were captured or %difperled the whole Of TIE
AuhfIan army is reprefeBted as being nearly denrov-
ed; not a veitige OF wha, might be deemed one Ell
