"KIKHERT."

we have received accounts from the
Rhlne 10 the 2lst; they contain the 9Th
hniiet'n OF The army of Italy, dated The

Paiua on the 5th, by the French right
, wing; the left has reached Bassano.
A contribution of 400 oeo francs has

Inc Ptciory, of 100 guns having on
board the bodv ofour dear departed Hero,
anchored eli Brighton yesterday, on her
voyage probably for the Downs. The
prince OF Wales sent two builocks on
board Tor the brave crew, and some other
presents to their gallant officers.
| The intelligence brought by the French,
Dutch, and German papers, is, as we
have already said, of much more favor
able complexion than we expected. We
! see little reason 10 doubt that the French
! have got To Vienna. An artieIe from the
Lech, ofthe l2th, would induce us to be
heve 'ha, The French had slackened their
march: 1t says, that Bonaparte wished 10
| give Time Tor some other columns 10 come
[ up and TO wait FOR the arrival of couriers
with dispatches. But it appears that
there was very sanguinary affair at ST.
Potion, ot which the French 5uleiin made
no mention. The adyIces from Moravia
and Bohemia, inserted in the Berlin Jour
nal speak oi the aGlion as disastrous to
| the Freoch, who lost 5000 men. But this
| advantage could not, we think, prevent
the French from getting to Vienna. The
Russians aud Ausiriaps, immediately al
ter the affair of St. Potion. crossed the Da-
nube to Krems, To JOIN The Archduke
Ferdinand, who rs al kudweis. The en-
peror oil Germany is not at OImulz, but
al Brum, But one of the most important
facts in these papers is, the juncl on of
the second Russian army with The first, a
circumstance which will enable the Aus
| trans, we trust, To resume offensive ope-
rations. Another fact which we hope 10
see confined, is, that the archdukc John
has, by bold movement, go, III the rear
of Bernadotte, and compelled him to eva

that though their force is numerous,
much precuation is necessary, the coun-

not initiate the conduct Of the Freuch-
they did not piliage the essor,, nor did
they violate the p, usslan territory of Ans

In the mean time the arcbduke Charles
continues to conduct his re,reat in mas.
terly manner, giving the French reason
10 repent every attack they make upon
him. BY MaSsena's owe account in the
sixth bulletin, II appears he was defeated
on the banks of the 1agliamento. On
the 18th he ordered advisor of his troops
TO cross the river, meaning of course, so
pass with the rest of his army but the
Austrians defended the passage, heavy
cannouade ok place the whole day but
"Masseua, 8atisjfed with the ADVANTAGES he
had gained, and which secured 10 him
theirs, did not think proper to etc Ct the
passage oGihe river"
What were his advantages he wished

duke had retrealed from The banks on he
18Th 10 Palma Nuova, Massena crossed
the river. His royal h,ghness neither
loses piece of cannon, u baggage way
gon, nor standard, IN his retreat he car
res off his whole army, and we have
confident belief, that even If Marmont and
Bsrnadotte were to in!erpose IN his rear,
ne could CIT his way through them.
Three Hamburger mails have arrived
this morning. The intelligence brought
by them is important. Private letters as.

conclude separate peace, and that she is
