We received this moment, intelligence
! that the enemy's artillery which bombar-
ded Toledo, has on sudden ceased firing.
and that the English and iusurgeots are re-
treating in the utmost confusion to the left
tbank of the ragus. Thus few days have

SEPT. 3--Yeste rday we received, via He
| HIGHLAND, the Hamburger Correspondentens
| 70 the 24th ult. and Paris Papers to the 10th.
| The former state that report prevailed at
Vienna on the 9th, that the Armistice be-
tween Austria and France had been prolon-
! ged for 60 DAYS; but there are in the same
Journals, accounts of three days later date
| from Vienna, and from OlmutZ to the 18th,
| which are wholly silent on the subject.
The circumstance Of the conquered parts
OF Gallicia, having been occupied in the name
| OF Napoleon, and the substitution of the
| French eagles for those Of Austria, appears,
as we anticipated, to have given offence to
the Russians, who, in those districts occupied
| by their arms maintain the Austrian eagles,
in opposition to the orders of Bonaparte, as
declared In the proClanations of the Polish
Generals, Poniatowsky and Kamenski, and
il is even stated in the Correspondenten of
the 22d, that the whole of the Russian troops
in Gallicia were about to retire from that
province.
