DUTCH PAPERS.

Dutch Journals to the 5th instant contain
ing Paris news to the Goth ulrimo. Bona
parte arrived at Pauton on the S1st. uitimo,
and left that town The next morning, and was
to be at Toulouse OH Sunday, the 24rh : ne
was thence to proceed to Agen, which he
was to leave On the 2oth, for the purpose OF
visiting Bordeaux, where ne was expected
on the 3Oth. Such is the rout mentioned ia
these papers, Where he was togo from
Bordeaux is not stated, but according to
some accounts, he is expected at Ranboii-
let on the 18th instant, his birthday, for the
celebration of which splendid preparations
had been made.
1t is stated in an article from Hamburgh,
of the 29h ultimo, In the RottsrdanCourant
of the 9TH instant, that intelligence had been
received at Copenhagen Of The capture of
the Swedish army in Finland, consisting Of
$4,000 men. This is evidently an unfound-
ed rumor. The Gottenburg mail furnished
the means of detection. BY it we learnt
that his Swedish majesty established his
head quarters at Great Carleby on the oath
ultimo, one day later than the report.
The Spanish troops in the vicinity of
Hamburg have takenthe oath Of fidelity to
their new sovereign JosEpH NAPOLEON
This need excite no surprise. They could
be only imperfectlv informed of recent e.
vents IN their own country and, besides,
they hadthe bayonets of the French at their
breasts. These papers maintain their usual
silence with respectto Spain.
Prive letters from Holland state that
strong symptoms of revolt against France
have lately manifested themselves in several
districts Of Germany, and also in Poland.
At Dantzic, the people are said to have
suddenly risen upon the French soldiery,
and put numbers OF them to- death. The
final result of tlisinsurrection is not menti-
oned. Dantzic is known to betyery strong

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.

Dispatches were yesterday received from
sir James Saumarez, il, the Baltic Report
says, they announce the commencement OF
shostilities between the Austrians & French
Whether this be any part Of the contents of
the dispatches We know not but letter
from an officer in the Baiie states, that sir
James, while tcruizing off Sralsund on the
2eth nltimo, was informed that hostillties
had actually commenced, a battle having
been fought in Galicia, in which the French
were entirely defeated.
The loss Of the French is stated at 12OC0
men, and the statement is said to have been
confirmed by several vessels from Pilau.--
We state these rumors but though We con-
slider hostilities at no great distance be-
tween those two powers, we doubt much
whether they have commenced.

Al pappenburgh vessel is arrived from
Bordeaux, after short passage. The cap
tain states, that an order had been given Tor
the return of all American vessels which
had dropt down the river, and renewal OF
the embargo.
Ills very generally stated, that some OF
che families of the ancient mobiles OF France
had been discovered in attempting to disse-
inmate Spanish patriotism among the people
of France, and that their example bad been
enthusiastically embraced by the people,
whose ardor would not easily be checked.
AT dinner given by Mr. Ware to the
Spanish deputies, lord Erskine, who was
present, commented very severely on the
toast lately received with such disapproba-
ton at public meeting. 81 dislike as
much as any ene," said the noble lord,
ssmany of the measures that have been pur-
suedby this country towards America but
/ would never propose, IN Champaign or
Burgundy, to drink the health of that man
who refused our brave tars drop OF wa
ter.''
We are assured that his Westphalian ma
iesty, otherwise Jerome Bonaparte, has
lately sent letter, sealed with his royal
arms, 10 the lady whom he married some
years ago in America. It was addressed
70 her as 6 Miss Patterson" and was &C
companied with several presents OF cons,.
aerable value. In his letter he acquainted
her, that his imperial brother, Napoleon,
having called him to give his hand to prlnn-
cess Of the German empire, she must no
longer consider him in any other hight than
as sovereign, unconnected with her by
former ties. This youngest representative
of the family destined by Providence to
reign over Europe, may posslbly, Ike his
hroIher Joseph, find himself ere long IN
situation to induce Miss Patterson, rather
to congratulate herself, than to regret, that
she has not been made queen OF Wcstpha-
liza.

NOTE OF THE SUPREME JU.V7.A.
SEVILLE, July 90.
The Supreme Iunta has the most entire
satisfaction to inform the public, that by a
dispatch received this day, by express from
the most excellent seignor don Francisco
Xavier Castanos, captain general OF the
forces of Andalusia. Of which literal ex-
tract is hereunto annexed, most convinc-
ing proof is given Of the military talents
with which the operations have been con-
Quoted, inasrnuch as, the results exactly cor
respond with the well digested plan which
had been formed. So fortunate have they
been, that from the very first encounter, the
enemy has continued to Ay with the utmost
disgrace, and his fight has been a complete
rout; this effect having been produced by
events which he certainly ceuld not have
prevented.
"McsT SERENE sEIGNIORS,
g In my dispatch of the 18th, acquaint-
ed you with the state of our operations and
proceedings. On the 18th, gen. Reding
wrote to inform me, that at nine in the
morning ne entered Baylen with his. own
division and that of the marquis de Com
peigne, which | had ordered to Join him !;
and that the enemy were retreating from
that place to Guarraman, having left behind
only grand guard, which was put to the
rout. | instantly wrote to Reding to attack
Andujar, in flank, with the two divisions,
whilst should attack it in trent. | was
prepared to execute my plan at day break
this morning, when, at two o'clock, | was
appraised that the enemy were evacuasing
-Anduiar, and making precipitate flight by
the road to Madrid. cannot conceal my
surprise, that the inhabitants of Anduiar did
not give me the slightest notice of this
movement.
s Finding that the enemy were making
their escape from me, ordered La Pena,
with his division, and some reinforcements,s

the more proper. as had just received a
letter from general Reding, informing me.
that he had H,arched from Baylen at three
