This, II true, Is very pleasing iDtell-
gence; and, when so much Of detail is
given, one would hardly suppose it posi-.
sle 10 be false, though coming out of
Whitehall, had we not already read the
bulletin of the l7ih, Of the better part of
which this last bulletin contains contra
dcslOn. Who would not have thought
from The bulletin Of the l7th, that The bat.
tie of the Cd had been fought at WSchau,
and that the allies remained on the field
of battle IL now appears, however, that
The battle ofths I'd was begun at Auster-
liz, and that the allies retreatcd to WIS
chau, distance OF sbou, ten English
miles. The. story Of the 27 900 French
killed, of Bonaparte's being wounded, aud
of his proposing an armisGce, is com
pletsly contrsdieted by this second offici-
al bulletin and il is impossible not to re-
celye even lis contents with great dis.
trust, when we 6nd II acknowledging tina,
the allies we're defeated ON the Cd, when
the bulletin Of the I7Ih had represen ed
them TO have obtained a ueloIy. The
battle of The I'd, ended in ga victory ("
but, it being impossible to keep up the
belief Of fhas for any length OF time, it IS,
in the next bulletin, allowed to have been
a dejsaf; but, at the same time, it is as
serted, that the allies have now got VIC
tory.
The account Of the battles Of the Sd
and 9th, rest, as far as this intelligence
goes, upon the REPORT Of an Esta6eHe,
who, in all likelihood. knew what would
please the person to whom he made lis
report Allowing his report to have been
cosreet, really cannot see, that much
has been gained By the allies, except in
