AUSTRIA DECLARES AGAINST FRANCE
RUPTURE OF THE ARMISTICE--RE-
NEWAL OF HOSTnITlES
At length the great question is decided
The Arfnistice has been broken, and hos
tiiitics have been renewed renewed too
with the accession of Austria to the great
cause This most important intelligence
was brought late last night by two Gotten
burg Mails, and Mai! from Ileligoland-
On the 18th, the six days notice of the re-
newal of hostiities was given and the de-
termination Of Austria was made known-
On the 18th the whole Austrian army III
Bohemia was put in motion, and the Aus
tran head quarters were removed to Prague
OF the first operations in Sllesla, or on the
Bohemian frontiers, we have not yet recelv-
ed any details but we have the French Of
fetal account of the first actions near Ham
burgh Davoust, who, as we said yester
day, had Quilted Hamburger, and taken a
position at Bergsdorf, broke up from his
environments Oh the 18th, and proceeded to
attack the Prussians and Russians at Lauen
burg. They were not in strong .orce, about
400 men but they had thrown up entrench-
ments, and had some artillery. The enc
my stormed it on the night of the 18th, and
the Allies retired across the Stecknltz-
Such Is the French account-their success
is probably exaggerated but, even If it be
not, it is not of much Importance. We shall
soon see ia this quarter movements and opc
rations OF more consequence, it Daroust re-
main on the North Of the Elbe. Mean
while the Grown Prince is drawing near tie
Elbe We have his first Bulletin, dated
from Orsnienoerg, on the 18th, giving am
account of the disposition OF the army under
his command Great Judgment seems to
have been evnced in the choice of the posi-
tions--in less thssn TWO days $4,000 men can
be brought in line An attempt has been
made during the armistice to take away
the Grown Princes life. On the llth whilst |
he was reviewing some troops near Custrin, |
q shot was fired at him from one of the bat |
fell within thirty yards of him
without doing him any injury. Ills Royal
liighMes5 called the French commandant
before him, and consented to receive an a
poIogy for this violations of the truce, which
no man will believe to be accidental
a Harwich letter, from an intelligent
CORES pondent, mentions a report of Sc
h,.tI Ia haat, fppoht tha ri,
the resultsof which was favorable to the al
lies--but the place where it was fought is
not stated
Of the amount of the force whichsthe Al
lies can bring into the field, We Ne no
precise account One letter frol 3tten
burgh states Austria to have $50, 0U0sp Russia
100000. and Sweden and Prussia l27 000--
in all $4,000 men The Russian force is
exaggerated--the Austrian, and Swedish
and prussian force is probably moderated.
OF the numbers BoDaparte can bring into
the field we have no accurate information /
Ii we could credit the French papers. they
would be at least half million. That they
are large, we nave no doubt, and large they
ought to be to oppose the mighty hosts a
galnst him,
Nine thousand British troops reached
Stralsund on the 9th, and 1900 more re
manned in Wingoe Sound.
Two Danish flags of Truce reached Hell
goland, before the packet sailed. One of
them is reported to have brought the ac-
count of the rupture of the Armistice, and
the second to have brought some overtures
to our Government We doubt this second
Tumour.
... BERLIN, August H.
1t is reported though nothing official is
known on the subject, that after the armis-
tce had been denounced by Prussia, the
French took Breslau, fromwhich they were
however afterwards driven with the loss of
IL cannon.
FRANKFoRT, August 10
Letters from the Spanish frontiers bring
the following accounts Lord Wellington
has again returned to his army in Pampeu-
ma, & on the Goth a severe battle was fought
The English occupied three heights which
they had entrenched. The French were
three times repulsed. The 5oth regiment
