A private letter from Holland, commune
Gates some very interesting particulars res
pecting the detection of treachery on the part
OF some officers in the Austrian service
They state that general officer Of Artil-
lery, entrusted with the care of an extern
sive magazine, established near the frontiers
OF Bavaria, having corrupted severt.t of the
officers under his command, had formed a
plan of delivering up that valuable depot,
in which stores of all kinds we're collected,
to tina enemy. A letter, .)rtunately inter-
ceptsd, led to the discovery of the plot, and
the traitor and his accomplices were secured
and thrown into prison.
The following is copy of an official dis
patch from Estremadura, dated 3lst ult.-
" The Duke Of Albuquerque has succeeded
in kb &c
army. The latter is charged to guard the
positions in the rear of the bridge of Arxe-
bispo and Cardeal. Cuesta has twice Offer
ed battle to Gen. Victor, but he has not ac-
copied these offers, waiting, as we suspect,
for the arrival of reinforcements. The
French penetrated to within four leagues of
Badajoz, whence they have been repulsed
by the Spaniards, with the assistance of AL
buquerque. The result Of the action was
the capture of a General aid more than
two hundred men, who have been conducted
to Seville, and the slaughter of about seven
hundred. 1t is certain that decisive en-
gagement was to take place on the 3Oth, the
French being placed between three armies,
and in situation where they can receive no
reinforcements, in consequence of Urbna's
guarding the bridges above mentioned, with
$4,000 men. Cuesta has from 3 to 900 ca
valry in fine order the French have s 900.
but SO lean and starved, that thsr are net e.
quail to 1000 effective. The French fotce.
