his repeated efforts to turn the Austrian
tanks. and thus come in their rear, were
rendered unavailing by the admirable dis
positions of the Austrian commander after
two DAYS, the most sanguinary days Europe
ever saw, Bonaparte was at length compelled
to yield the palm of preeminen TO descend
from his towering height, to lose his cha-
racter of invincible, and to resign the rank
of being the first captain Of the age.
twould bedHhcult to say which part OF
the conduct oil the archduke Charles deserve
the most praise-.that firmness ofmind'Whlch
made him not despair OF stopping the pro-
gress of the enemy after the battle OF Ech-
muhA--that confidence in his own talents
that made him anxious 70 hazard a battle
with the French, flushed though they were
with uninterrupted success and lea on oy
Bonaparte in pcrson--that astonishing PIE
sence of mind which rendered him cqua' TO
every emergency---or that consummate
knowledge of the ait of war which enabled
him to beat the man who had arrogated to
himself the title of inyincib!e.

the late ministry would not assist with IL
berar hand; they would help her but spar
ingIy with the treasures of England, whilst
she is lavishing her blood in a cause when
they will not deny to be as much British as
Austrian--they would treat her with susPi-
cien and distrust, and NEWELL remember the
efforts they made at first to damp our salts
faction by throwing doubts upon this great
victory. They would not even see the SYM
toms of defeat of the French"
A grateful task remains to be performed,
and we dare say our readers anticipate us
lnswhat We are going 10 say. The Gazette
shews by what sacrifices The late victory was
gained. The killed and wounded of the
Austrian army amount TO 10000. We can
abate the grief Of those who lost their rela-
tiyes-we can assuage the pain ut those who
are suffering under their wounds, by rails
ing subscription for their wives and fami-
lies. 1t will be worthy for the exalted cha
racter Of the British nation, and we hope to
see it carried into execution without loss of
time.

Orders were received at the custom house
this morning for a general embargo to be-
laid on Immediately. 1Ae expedition will
sail IN Two or three DAYS.
We received some German papers this
morning, whicherontain bulletin from the
Austrian army relative to the operations in
Saxony on the Raab, and in the ,Tyrol. 1t
does not announce, however, any new fact
of much importance.
Fortune has trowned upon another of the
Bonaparte family, and Jerome, who had
advanced with his Westphalian and Dutch
troops against the Austriaus, Threatening 70
drive them in few days cut of Saxony, has
been checked in his presumptuous boastnc.
and been himself beaten. This We infer
from an article in the edition of the Berlin
Gazette of the 1st Juiy--he would not else
have ordered all the baggage in his rear to
return to Masdeburg, nor send in such
haste to Casscl for all the disposeabIe troops
to be put in motion. A victory over Ie-
rome Bonapartc wall be important, inasmuch
AS it will enable the Austrians 10 advance q.
bout the time when great events were to
take place in Hanover and Hesse. The fol-
lowing is the article to which We have allud-
ed:
Extract from a second edition Of the Berlin
Court Gazette Of the 1st July 1909,
zvhich has been printed later than Mose
forwarded by the Hambm gh mail.
