AUGSBURG, Abril 81.


AucsBuRG, April2f.
The day before yesterday, a number Of
troops marched through here. The posts
from Munich has NOT arrived since the
Austrians took possession of that city. A
strong cannonade was heard in tie direc-s
ton of Fraysingen. The seat of war is
drawing towards the borders of Donau.---
As yet we have no official account of the
Austrian skirmishes. In short time de-
cisive battle must take place.
The other accounts contained in the lat
est Dutch paper, unite in saying, that on
the 21st April, battle took place on the
banks of the Donau, between the united
Bayarian and Wirtemberg armies and two
regiments of French cuirassiers, the whole
directed by the French emperor iii person,
on the one side, and the Austrian army
Nothing is now saidof the archduke Charles,
and, as prince Litchtenstcin, who command
ed the advanced guard of the Austrian ar.
my, is said to be wounded I; it is probable
that only that part of the Austrians were
engaged i'll the above mentioned battle,
which certainly was not a general engage
ment, and even the result oft isvery much
to be questioned; as the reports in the
Dutch papers are vague and unsatisfactory.
Ifthe French had really got any advantage,
would there not have been official bulletins
immediately issued, and sent express to the
king of Holland: 1t has hitherto always
been the case, and which would have reach
ed Amsterdam ON the 18th or Goth Of A.
pril but now the only account we have in
Dutch papers is that pretended to be re-
ceived from LudWigsburg, German VIII
lage, under the controul of the king OF Ba-
,varia, and which is neither circumstantial
or official, nor coming from the Frelaeh
headquarters.
1t is is also to be remarked, that the posi-
ton and strength Of the Austrian armies
seem to be entirely unknownto their enc
mics, not word on this head appearing in
the Dutch papers. Taking all these CIR
cumstances into consideration, we are in
clined to think that the Austr ian cause is
not desperate and hope that the arch-duke
Charles will yet succeed in rescuing his
country from the tangs OF the GREAT u
SURFER.

When freedom sway'd, but now she sways no more.
Once did fair freedom to thine eye disclose
Her buds in beauties vyins with the rose,
Then did the flowers their opning sweets unfold
Nor felt the noon-tide heat, nor ev'ning cold
Now fell oppression holds her wintry reign,
And blasts the beauties Of the ennameld plain.
Amid the central wreck they PROSTATE lie
Of aid foriorn... alas! they soon must die.
