FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.
LoNpoN. Nfny 22-os

LONDON, May 22-e5.
The insurrection in Wes,phalia as
sumes formidable aspecr. The no.
ted Schili has augmented his follow
ers to a vast amount, has taken Bre-
men, and was spreading them through
Brunswick and Hanover.
a French squadron is said to have
escaped from Tonlon, and thrown req
lief into Barcelona. Lord Colling-
wood will probably give some account
of the return of ,his feet.
Rear admiral Harvey has been dis.
missed for con,emp,uou, language a.
gainst Lord Gambler.
he Emperor Of Austria is said to
have solicited peace, an assertion
which we do not believe. The Arch
duke Charles accepted the chief COM
mand under the express stipulation
that no peace should be made without
his consent, and he has declared that
nothing but the annihilation ofthe Aus
trian armies, and the impossibility Of
opposing any further resistance, should
make him consent to that last d -gra-
dation of all miseries, submission to-
the Will of Bonaparte.
Dutch papers OF the Esd arrived late
last night, and have brought an ac-
count of the French having entered
Vienna.
Schili's bold enterprise continues to
give the greatest alarm to the enemy
in the North of Germany. He has
taken Bremen, and his band rapidly
increasing 10 an army, is spreading it
self through Brunswick and Hanover,
the inhabitants of which are to man
in his favor. Jerome Bonaparte has
no army capable of opposing him, and
confines himself to proclamations Of
fering rewards for his apprt henson.
One article states that the King of
Prussia, so far from app. kging of his
conduct, has sent an army of $4,000
men against him. The necessity which
is here confessed of sending so large
force against him proves the formi-
dable nature of the instruction he has
brought about. But we do not believe
the King of Prussia has sent any force
against him, and we remember having
read in the Leyden Gazette the other
day some reflections against his Prus-
sian majesty upon the subject of Schi-
lis enterprise.
We stated on Monday that French
squadron from Toulon had thrown re-
lief into Barcelona, and that as Lord
Collihgwood has heard of their being
at sea great hopes were entertained Of
their being intercepted on their return.
A report was in circulation last night
iaat our squadron were of Minorca
with fine breeze, and that the enemy
wer only IS miles distant. This NOR
ming letter was received by a mer-
chant in this city, from the master of
one of his vessels, stating that accounts
had Just been received at Gibraltar, Of
Lord Collingwood having destroyed
The French Fleet in the MeGiterrane-
an. The letter is dated on the 1st of
May, and the news is contained in the
postscript which is as follows" Cap
tain Ireland, of the Orion, is this mo-
ment standing in, and our feet is COM
ing in, after having completed the des.
truction Of the squadron from Tour
Ion !"
If the postscript be written on the same
day the letter is dated, the intelligence
cannot b. true, for the admiralty ave in
possession OF later advices winch make
no mensioo Of such an event. The French
papers received yesleI day said that the
squadron had got back to Toulon.
Plymouth, Nav 20 BY the Nonpariel
schr. arrived at Falmouth from OporIo, w
go hours only, is learnt that Romano had
in getting possession of Corun4
ma and FerroI again from The French.
