Italy have conducted themselves as the peo. ple of Alsace, Normandy, or Dauphine, would have done. The proclamations and the discourses of the Archduke John inspired only contempt and scorn; and it would be difficult to describe the joy of the people of the Piave, the Tagliamento, and of the Frioul, when they saw the army of the enemy flying in disorder, and the army of the Sovereign and the country returning in triumph. The people of Italy are marching with rapid strides to the last period of a happy change. That beautiful part of the Continent, to which are attached so many great and illustrious recollections, which the Court of Rome, that swarm of monks, and its own divisions, had ruined, is appearing with honour again on the theatre of Europe. The Al the details which reach us of the Aus. trian army shew, that on the 21st and 228, its loss was enormous. The choice troups of the army have perished. The good folks of Vienna say, that the manœuvres of General Danube saved the Austrian army. Tyrol and Voralberg are completely subjected. Carniola, Styria, Carinthia, the territory of Saltzburgh, Upper and Lower Austria, are pacified and disarmed. Trieste, that city where the French and Italians suffered so many insults, has been occupied. One circumstance in the capture of Trieste has been most agreeable to the Emperor→→ the delivery of the Russian squadron. It had received orders to fit out for Ancona, but, detained by contrary winds, it remained in the power of the Austrians. The junction of the army of Dalmatia will soon take place. The Duke of Ragusa began his march as soon as he heard that the army of Italy was on the Isonzo, It is hoped that it will arrive at Laybach before the 5th of June.* The robber Schill, who assumed, and with reason, the title of General in the service of England, after having prostituted the name of the King of Prussia, as the satellites of England prostitute that of Ferdinand ac Sevilie, has been pursued and chased into an island of the Elbe. The King of Westphalia, independently of 15,000 men of his own troops, had a Dutch division and a French division; and the Duke of Valmy has already united at Hanau two divisions of the Corps of Observation. The pacification of Swabia sets free the Corps of Observation of General Beaumont, which is collected at Augsburgh, and where are more than 3000 dragoons. The rage of the Princes of the House of Lorraine against Vienna may be painted with one.stroke. The capital is fed by forty mills, raised on the left bank of the river. They have removed and destroyed them. Fourteenth Bulletin. village of Urfar, in front of the bridge-head at Lintz. At the same moment, the Prince of Ponte Corvo came to Lintz, with the cavalry, and the first brigade of Saxon infantry. General Vandamme, at the head of the Wirtemberg troops, and four squadrons of Saxon hussars, repulsed the two first columns of the enemy, drove them from their positions, took from them six pieces of artillery, made 40 prisoners, and threw them into entire confusion. The third column of the enemy appeared on the heights of Boslingberg, a seven in the evening; and his infantry, in a moment, took possession of the neighbouring mountains. The Saxon infantry fell on the enemy with fury, drove him from his position, and took 800 prisoners, and several ammunition waggons. The enemy has retreated, in confusion, to Freystadt and Hasbach. The hussars, sent out in pursuit, have brought in many prisoners; 500 muskets, and a number of waggons and caissons, were found in the woods. The loss of the enemy amounts to 2000 killed and wounded, besides prisoners. Our whole loss, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, is not 400 men. The Prince of Ponte Corvo praises greatly General Vandamme, and the behaviour of the Saxon General in Chief Leschwitz, who, in his 65th year, possesses all the activity and fire of youth. Thirteenth Bulletin. Ebersdorf, May 28. During the night of the 26th and 27th, our bridges on the Danube were carried away by the waters and the mills which have been set free. The Emperor spent yesterday on the left bank surveying the fortifications which are raising on the Island of Inder Lohau, and in order to inspect some regiments of the Duke de Rivoli's corps, stationed at this sort of tête-de-pont. On the 27th, at night, Captain Baillie, Aid-de-Camp of the Viceroy, brought the agreeable tidings of the arrival of the army of Italy at Bruck. General Lauriston had been sent in advance, and the junction took place on the Simeringberg. During twelve days the two armies had received no intelligence of each other. The Viceroy has displayed, during the whole campaign, a calmness and an extent of observation which are the presages of a great General. In the relation of facts which have graced the army of Italy during these last twenty days, his Majesty has marked with pleasure the destruction of the corps of Jellachich. It was this General whose insolent proclamation enkindled the fury and sharpened the daggers of the Tyrolese. The Archduke John, who, so short a time since, in the excess of his presumption, degraded himself by his letter to the Duke of Ragusa, evacuated Gratz the 27th, taking with him hardly 25,000 or 30,000 men, of the fine army with which he entered Italy. Arrogance, insults, excitements to revolt, all his actions, which bear the stamp of rage, have turned to his shame. The people of Ebersdorf, June 1. The bridges npon the Danube are com pletely re-established: to these have been added a flying bridge; and all the necessary material materials are preparing for another bridge of floats. Seven machines are employed to drive in the piles; but the Danube being in many places twenty-four and twenty-six feet in depth, much time is spent in order to fix the anchors, when the machines are displaced. However, our works are advancing, and will be finished in a short time. The General of Engineers, Lozowski, is employed on the left bank upon a tête de-pont of 1600 toises in extent, and which will be surrounded by a trench full of running water. The 44th crew of the flotilla of Boulogne is arrived. A great number of boats, cruizing in the river about the islands, protect the bridge and render great service. The battalion of marine workmen labour in the construction of little armed vessels, which will serve completely to com mand the river. After the defeat of the corps of General Jellachich, M. Matthieu, Captain-Adjutant of the Staff of the army of Italy, was sent with an orderly dragoon upon the road to Saltzburgh, who having successively met with a column of 650 troops of the line, and a column of 2000 militia, both of whom were cut off, and had lost their way; they, on being summoned to surrender, laid down their arms General Lauriston is arrived at Oldenburgh, the first country town of Hungary, with a strong advanced guard. There appears to be some, ferment in Hungary, where men's minds are divided, the greater part not seeming favourable to Austria.-General Lasalle has bis head-quarters opposite to Besbourg: and pushes his posts to Altenbourg and Rhaah. Three divisions of the army of Italy are arrived at Neustadt. The viceroy has been for the last two days at the head-quarters of the Emperor. General Macdonald has entered Gratz. There have been found in this capital of Styria immense magazines of provisions and equipments.-The Duke of Dantzic is at Lintz: the Prince of Ponte Corvo is marching to Vienna: General Vandammé, with the Wirtemberghers, is arrived at St. Polten, Mautern, and Crems. Tranquillity reigns in the Tyrol. Vienna is tranquil: bread and wine are in abundance, but meat begins to be scarce. Contrary to all reasons of policy and motives of humanity, the enemy do all in their power to starve their fellow-citizens and this city, although it contains their wives and children. How different is this from the conduct of our Henry IV. who supplied a city then hostile to, and besieged by him, with provisions! The Duke of Montebello died yesterday, at five in the morning. Shortly before, the Emperor passed an hour with him. His Majesty sent for Dr. Franc, one of the most celebrated physicians in Europe. His wounds were in good condition, but a dangerous fever had made in the course of a few hours the most fatal progress. All the assistance of art was useless. His Majesty has ordered that the body of the Duke should be embalmed and conveyed to France, there to receive the honours that are due to his elevated rank and eminent services. Thus died one of the most distinguished soldiers that France ever produced. In the many battles in which he was engaged, he had received thirteen wounds. The Emperor was deeply afflicted by this loss, which will be felt by all France. PROCLAMATION. Soldiers of the army of Italy,-You have gloriously attained the end which I pointed out to you the Sovereign has been witness to your junction with the grand army. You are welcome!-I am satisfied with you! Surprised by a perfidious enemy before your columns had joined, you were obliged to retrograde to the Adige, but when you received orders to march forward, you were in the memorable Field of Arcola, and there you swore by the manes of our heroes to triumph, You kept you word at the battle of the Piave, at the battles of St. Daniel, of Tarvis, of Gorice. You took by assault the forts of Malberghetto and Predel, and forced the di vision of the enemy, entrenched at Prevauld and Laybach, to capitulate. You had not yet passed the Drave, and already 25,000 pris soners, 69 pieces of cannon, and 10 standards had signalized your valour. Afterwards the Drave, the Save, the Muer, could not impede your march. The Austrian column of Jellachich, which first entered Munich, which gave the signal for the massacres in the Tyrol, surrounded at St. Michel, fell beneath your bayonets. You have executed speedy justice on these shattered remains which had escaped the rage of the grand army. Soldiers! this Austrian army of Italy, which for a moment had polluted my provinces by its presence, which pretended to break my iron crown, beaten, dispersed, annihilated; thanks to you, shall be an example of the truth of the motto, Dio la ne diede, quai a chi ta tocca.”God has given it to mes woe to him who touches it. Ebersdorf, May 27, 1809. GERMANY.. NAPOLEON. Austrian Official Bulletin. Head Quarters, at Brietenlee, On the 19th and 20th, the Emperor Napoleon passed the greater arm of the Danube, with the whole of his army, to which he had drawn all the reinforcements of his powerful allies. He established his main body on the Island Lobau, whence the second passage over the lesser arm, and his further offensive dispositions, were necessarily to be directed. His Imperial Highness resolved to advance with his army to meet the enemy, and not to obstruct his passage, but to attack him after he had reached the left bank, and thus to defeat the object of his intended enterprize. This determination excited, throughout the whole army, the highest enthusiasm. Ani mated mated by all the feelings of the purest patriotism, and of the most loyal attachment to their sovereign, every man became a hero; and the smoaking ruins, the scenes of desolation, which mark the track of the enemy, in his progress through Austria, had inflamed them with a just desire of vengeance. With joyful acclamations, with the cry, a thousand times repeated, of "Live our good Emperor!" and with victory in their hearts; our columns, at noon, on the 21st, proceeded onward, to meet the reciprocal attack of the advancing enemy; and, soon after three o'clock, the battle commenced. The Emperor Napoleon, in person, directed the movements of his troops, and endeavoured to break through our centre with the whole of his cavalry; that vast body of horse he had supported by 60,000 infantry, his guards, and 100 pieces of artillery. His wings rested on Aspern and Eslingen-places, to the strengthening of which, the resources of nature and of art had, as far as was possible, contributed. He was not able, however, to penetrate the compact mass which our battalions presented; and every where his cavalry shewed their backs; while our cuirassiers unhorsed his armour-equipped cavaliers, and our light horse carried death into his flanks.-It was a gigantic combat, and is scarcely capable of description. The battle with the infantry became immediately general. More than 200 pieces of cannon, exhibited. on the opposite sides, a rivalry in the work of destruction. Aspern was ten times taken, lost, and again conquered. Eslingen, after repeated attacks, could not be maintained. At eleven at night, the villages were în flames, and we remained masters of the field of battle. The enemy was driven up in a corner, with the Island of Lobau and the Danube in his rear. Night put an end to the carnage. Meanwhile fire-boats, which were floated down the Danube, destroyed the bridge, which the enemy had thrown over the prin cipal branch of the river. The enemy, how ever, conveyed over, during the night, by continued embarkations, all the disposable troops which, he had in Vienna, and on the Upper Danube; made every possible effort for the re-construction of his great bridge; and attacked us, at four in the morning, with a furious cannonade from the whole of his artillery; immediately after which, the action extended along the whole of the fine. Until seven in the evening, every attack was repelled. The perseverance of the enemy was then compelled to yield to the heroism of our troops, and the most complete vietory crowned the efforts of an army, which, in the French Proclamation, was declared to be dispersed, and represented as annihilated, by the mere idea of the invincibility of their adversaries. The loss of the enemy has been immense; the field of battle is covered with dead bodies, from among which we have already picked up 6000 wounded, and removed them to our hospitals. When the French could no longer maintain themselves in Aspern, the brave Hessian were obliged to make a last attempt, and were sacrificed, At the departure of the courier, the Emperor Napoleon was in full retreat to the other side of the Danube, covering his retreat by the possession of the large island of Lobau. Our army is still engaged in close pursuit. The more particular details of this memorable day shall be made known as soon as they are collected. Among the prisoners are, the French General Durośnel, general of division, and Foulet Reyer, first chamberlain to the Empress ; also the Wurtemburgh General Roser, who was made prisoner at Nusdorf, by the second battalion of the Vienna Landwehr. Fourth Supplemental Austrian Bulletin. The retreat of the army from Italy (an unavoidable consequence of the military events in Germany), was resolved on, while on the 8th of May the troops were vigorously combating on the Piave near St. Salvatore. The action was maintained on both sides with the greatest obstinacy from five in the morning to eight in the evening. The grenadier battalion of Simbischen's regiment, and Alvinci's regiment, attacked the French cavalry twice in mass with the bayonet, and threw them into disorder. A number of the enemy's horse were taken by the infantry, which is a very uncommon occurrence in war. The regiment of Otto, which was surrounded by the enemy's cavalry, cut its way through them, but not without the loss of a number of brave men. The result of this severe and bloody day was, that his Majesty's troops maintained their position; and on the following day the retreat, as had been resolved, was prosecuted. The loss on both sides was very considerable. Two French Generals are among the dead. According to the reports of the prisoners, General Macdonald has received a wound in his foot. The Austrian army has also to lament the loss of several excellent officers, who died the death of heroes. Among these were Field-Marshal Baron Wolfskeer, the captain of cavalry, Wedersberg Von Hohenlohe, and several others, whose names will be communicated in a future detailed account. Among the prisoners are General Reismer, of the artillery, Baron Huger, Col. Von Eschelberg, Major Rutavin, &c.-Lieut.Colonel Calve, of the artillery, the Prince of Hessen Hamburg, Major Simay, Count Stahremberg, captain of cavalry, and Count Trunn Von Erzberg, are among the wounded. According to the latest accounts, the headquarters of his Royal Highness the Archduke john were on the 19th at Villach, and those of depend the welfare and prosperity of this kingdom. of the Banus (Vice-Roy) of Croatta, Count Von Giulay, at Labach.

Nothing has occurred on the frontiers of Hungary. The garrison of Presburg is however increased. Some French Hussars, had, on the 18th of May, made inroads to the gates o Oedenburg, but they returned immediately, without attempting to enter the town. The insurrection troops of the province of Raab have made some prisoners in the neighbourhood of Wiselburg. Fifth Austrian Bulletin.-(Supplement.) "The 224 of May was a very severe day, but it had a most fortunate result for the arms of his Imperial Majesty. The French Grand Army was conveyed over the Danube, in the night of the 21st, by four bridges opposite to Aspern. The Emperor Napoleon conducted the troops in person. At the head of the Austrian troops was the Archduke Charles. The contest was continued through the whole day with the greatest obstinacy. At the decisive moment the Archduke alighted from his horse, seized a standard, and led his grenadiers against the French cavalry, which he routed. The first regiment of the jusurrection greatly distinguished itself in this battle. The loss of the enemy is reckoned at 20,000 in dead, and the Austrian army also sustained considerable loss. "On the 23d, the French retreated by the bridges which still remained, over the Danube. Their rear guard only still remained; but these also had manifested a disposition to retreat when this intelligence came from head-quarters." GREAT BRITAIN. On Wednesday, 21st of June, the Parliament was prorogued, by special commission, when the following speech was delivered, in his Majesty's name, by the Lord Chancellor : "My Lords and Gentlemen, "We are commanded by his Majesty to acquaint you, that his Majesty has great satisfaction in being enabled, by the state of the public business, to release you from your laborious attendance in Parliament. His Majesty doubts not, that on your return into your respective counties, you will carry with you a disposition to inculcate, both by instruction and example, a spirit of attachment to those established laws and that happy Constitution, which it has ever been his Majesty's anxious wish to support and to maintain, and upon which, under Providence, 1 His Majesty particularly commands us to acknowledge your prompt attention to his wishes, respecting an increased provision for the poorer Clergy; an object in the highest degree interesting to his Majesty's feel. ings, and deserving the consideration of Parliament. "My Lards and Gentlemen, "The atrocious and unparalleled act of violence and treachery, by which the Ruler of France attempted to surprise and to enslave the Spanish Nation, while it has excited in Spain a determined and unconquerable resistanceagainst the usurpation, and tyranny of the French Government, has, at the same time, awakened in other nations of Europe a determination to resist, by a new effort, the continued and increasing encroachments on their safety and independence. "Although the uncertainty of all human events, and the vicissitudes attendant upon war, forbid too confident an expectation of a satisfactory issue to the present struggle against the common enemy of Europe, his Majesty commands us to congratulate you upon the splendid and important success which has recently crowned the arms of the Empe ror of Austria, under the able and distinguished conduct of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles.. "To the efforts of Europe for its own deliverance, his Majesty has directed us to assure you, that he is determined to continue his most strenuous assistance and support, convinced that you will agree with him in considering that every exertion for the re-establishment of the independence and security of other nations, is no less conducive to the true interests, than it is becoming the charac ter and honour of Great Britain." Then a commission for proroguing the Parliament was read. After which the Lord Chancellor said "My Lords and Gentlemen, "By virtue of his Majesty's commission, under the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and now read, we do, in his Majesty's name, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday, the 10th day of August next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday the 10th day of August next." The Commons retired from the Bar, and the Lords Commissioners withdrew from the House. INCIDENTS INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN AND NEAR LONDON: With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased. BETWEEN ten and eleven o'clock on the night of Friday the 26th of May, a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr. Seabourne, a block-maker, in Narrow-street, Limehouse. From the combustible nature of the stock in this and the adjoining work house, warehouses, &c. together with the narrowness of the street, the flames extended with the utmost rapidity on both sides of the way; aud notwithstanding the most prompt and vigorous exertions of the firemen, both by land and water, in about two hours time the following houses, together with an immense quantity of masts, yards, blocks, sailcloth, pitch, tar, &c. were totally consumed. 1. Mr. Seabourne's dwelling-house, workshop, &c.-2. The shop, loft, and storehouse of Mr. Wisborg, sail-maker and ship-chandler, adjoining the former on the western side. 3. The dwelling-house and work-place of Mr. Bell, boat-builder, in the same direction, up to the open landing-place of Ratcliff-cross. 4. The dwelling-house of Captain Estaby, of the Ballast-office, on the eastern side of the first-mentioned house.-5. The Ship in Distress, a public house, kept by a person of the name of Stevens, on the opposite side of the way.-6. A private house adjoining the latter, occupied by Mr. Jewsey. The Ballast Office, next door to Capt. Estaby's, a lodging house on the opposite side of the way belong. ing to a person of the name of Seale, and some others were very much damaged. ble matter communicated to the brig Leith, and all her upper works were destroyed, with part of her hull and decks. The flames likewise communicated to the Jolly Sailor public house, and to that of Mr. Bread, shoemaker, which were wholly destroyed. About two, the following morning, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Smeeton, printer, St. Martin's-lane, which was subdued before 4 o'clock, though with the complete destruction of the house and every particle of property. Mr. and Mrs. Smeeton perished in the flames! One of the apprentices was alarmed, and having awakened his two fellow-apprentices, went down stairs to give their master the alarm; but they were unable to force their way to his apartment, or to rouse him from his slumber; while the increasing smoke and flames compelled them to attend to their own safety; and having alarmed the maid-servant, they, with difficulty effected their escape over the leads of the roof of the adjoining public-house. Each side was in very great danger, and apprehensions were entertained lest the stables of the Golden Cross Inn should take fire; the horses were therefore conveyed away. Some da-. mage has been sustained by the Northumber land Coffee-house, situate in a narrow court immediately behind the premises. It is not known how the fire happened. The unfortunate couple had been married but three months. The same morning, a fire broke out in the store-room belonging to Mr. Fletcher, proprietor of the Shadwell Dock; the combusti From the second report of the Directors of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, it appears that from April, 1808, to April, 1809, one hundred and twenty per-, Soes have received assistance from that institution, exclusive of several pensions, whose allowance commenced in the preceding year.
