EoNpoN, July 4.
FROM Holland, we have repetition of the r,i
mours OF a battle on the Danube, to the disad
vantage of the French-but OF such an event, Ger
tainiy no intelligence has beeu received.
THE EXPEDITION.
From the secrecy which has hitherto been pre-
served, there is not the smallest reason To believe
that the numerous points of destination, which
nave been ascil,ed 60 the Expedition are amour
ced on amy better authority than that O. mere con-
lecture. The quantity of artillery boti, field
and batterifg, is 50 numerous, AS to render Ii eX
tremely probable that sudden attack is ,hcdita-
ted on some great naval arsenal, or place OF
strength OF some of our e,teinies. Heavy baggage
IS strictly prohibited and although every officer
employed, is as ignorant as The public of the ,rs-
tinaiion ofthc Expedition, 1T is the general opini
on that the service viii not be OF longer duration
than that against Copenhagen
