Captain Clark, however, informs, that a
bout the time OF his sailing the markets
were getting better, and some articles hao
sold at advanced prices, owing TO an appre.

There was also j great demand for. Ameri-

after the sailing of the expedition, in which
case American vessels, nearly ready for sea,
will meet with detention.

he had sailed.

This morning Government received, hv

from the Dutch coast, intelligence OF extra.
ordinary exertions making by King Louis,
to raise and embody all persons capable Of
military service. This force, when collect

Westphalia, where, it was not concealed

Letters were received from Amsterdam
of so late a date as the 29ih Instant. They
write, that no account of the second battle
between the two grand armies had reached
them 1T was certain, however, that Bona

was completely kept in check b. the Arch

vessels would not be admitted according to

The expedition, which is now in great for
wardness, will certainly be ready to sail in

menthave experienced great difficulties in
the procuring of transports. The Ameri

that such American ships as can be a. Dept

a three months service, at 25s. per month.
A letter from Cai lsCrona mentions, that

Russian ports and condemned.

LONDON, July 2.
We hear with much pleasure, that &C
counts have been received by Government,
OF the French having been rcpulsed with
considerable loss in several attempts which
they made on the 18th, 10th, and 18th uIt .
to cross the Danube, in the neighborhood of
Presburgh. The details of these operations
arc unknown; but the fact of the defeat eff
the enemy is so far credited by ministers, as
to have induced their communication of it
to Prince Stahre mberg; and to the Spa
nish Ambassador.
Yesterday we received an Amsterdam
paper of Tuesday last together with several
German Gazettes to the Goth ult. The in
formation which they furnish will be read
with interest, principally as showing the
great embarrassment to which Bonaparte is
reduced, and the successes which have at
tended the patriotic eXertions of the Tyroli-
ans.
So critical has Bonaparte's situation be-
come, and so comprehensive are his expe.
dients to reinforce his army, that the SOL
diers wounded in the battle of Ratisbon, Fch-
mui, &c. who were left i'm the sick quarters
at Munich. Augsburgb, &c. have been obi
ged to appear before Medical Commission
charged with an examination into the con-
dition of their wounds. and every man, sufFi-
GENTLY recovered to be competent to any
Kind OF military duty, has been sent to the
army in Wagons. Between the LIST and 9th
OF June, Gen. Moulin sent from Augsburch
upwards of 500 wounded officers for Vieri.a.
Many OF those, who were unable to bear the
fatigue OF land carriage, were conveyed by
water.
The communication between Munich and
vienna has become so insecure from the in
cui sions of the Austrians and Tyrolians, that
hve Wagons loaded with specie, which were
proceeding from Munich for the payment Of
the French army, had on their arrival A,
Markell, been obliged to return to Munich
and 1t was supposed would be sent for great.
CT security to AugSburgh.
