and upon the C:u they ave battle at Netimark to thr Bivarians. NotwithlUnding their great inferiority, the Bavarians main tained their poli ion. On th 2U the emperor ordered the corps of St-uning, and from there to PalTau wheie he arrived the 26th. The duke of Rtvoli commanded battalion of the Po to j;fs the Inn, which made 300 prifoners, r uled thehhikde of the citizen, and occupied tfcharding. On the 25th, the marflial duke of Montebt llo received order to march with his corps froRi Ratifbon to Muhldarf. On the 2Tth he pafled the Inn and came to Sdza. The 27th, the emperor is at his head qmrteis at Muhldorf. The AuUrtan divifion commanded by gen. Jallachich, which occupied Munich, is followed by the corps of the duke of Djntzic. The king of Bavaria has fhewn himftlf at Munich. He afterwards went to Augfburg where he will remain fome days waiting to re eftablilh hisrefiJence at Munich, and till Bavaria fhould be entirely freed from the enemy. On the fide of Rati fb on the duke of Ailerltadt is gone in purfuit of the archduke Charles, whofe communications with the Inn and Vienna being cut off, he has no other refource but to retire into the mountains of Bohemia, by Valdmunchcn and Cham. As for the emperor ofAuftria it appears that he was before Paul7u, having taken upon himfelf the fiege of that place with 3 battallions from Landwrth. All Bavaria and the PHllatinate are freed from the prefence ofthetnemy's armies. At Hatifbon the empeVor reviewed feveral corps, and had prefent-d to him the braveil foldicrs, on whom he bellowed diflinction and penfions, & to the braveft officers he gave Baronies and lands. He efprcially figmfi-d his fatisfacYion with the divifions of St. Hilaire and Friant. Until now the emperor has made the war alitiofl without his equipagje, and it has been obferved tliat in the acYioijsof his guard he has been alwys furroundd by the allied Bavarian and Wertemburg troops wihYing by fo doing to give them a, particular proof ol his confidence. j Y-fterday arrived at Landlhut a party of chafiVurs and grenadiers of the guard on horseback. A regiment ojf fufilecrs and a batallion of chafieurs on foot. In eight days time all the guard will be arrived. A report was current that the emperor

It is remarked as a lingular thing, that one of the fir! t Auftrian officers made pri fonrr in this war, is found to be the aid de camp of the nrchdukc Charles, fent to mr. Otto to deliver the famous letter, faying that the Fiench army were compelled to retreat.

By the fhip Caroline, Johanfen, in 39 days from Cadiz, we hve received Seville Gazettes to the 28th of May and by thr Unp Paragon, Hague, Lifbon papers to the 5th of June. From thole papers the editors of the New York Gazette have made a tranflation of feveral important articles. By the Caroline, we learn, verhally, that the French army had retreated from Seville and it was fuppofed they were on their return to France. We have received a letter from ourcorrefpondents, dated Lifbon June 5,enclofing a paper of that city, of the 4th, Hating the arrival of a Britifli brig in 15 days from Malta, with official news of the declaration of war on the part of Ruffia agaiuft F. Our correfpondent alfo notices in a triutnphant ftrain, the brilliant fuccefs of the Auflrians on the Tyrol, and the furrender of the French army in Portugal to the Hiitilh and Portuguefc troops. Souk with a few of his troops, had it is faid made their efcape. This with the taking of Oporto and St, Andero, occafioned the greatefl rejeicings at Cadiz. Captain Johanfen fays he had a Spanifh paper containing the Ruffian official declaration of War againft France, which thro' preffing felicitations, he gave to an officer of a Britifh truizer, who boarded his fhip. He fpeaks in the mo(l pofitive ftrain on thisfubjfrt; and his affertion is confirmed by capt. Bowie, who came paffenger in the Caroline. Captain Hague, of the Ihip Paragon, failed from Lifbon on the 7th of June ; he informs us, that the news of the furrender of Oporto to the Englilh, together with the 25,000 French troops, reached Lifbon on the 1ft of June. The Englilh merchants &c. who had left Oporto previous to the French taking poflVflion of it, were returning. Lifbon was illuminated two nights in confequence of this glorious news. It was alfo reported, that the Auftrians had obtained a complete virtory over the French, the latter having loft twenty five thoufand men, including the killed, wounded and prifoners. A considerable force of cavalry arrived at Lifbon from England on the 2d of June, defigned for the interior of Portugal ; and it was fuppofed they would proceed to The Britilh and Spaniards were making ufe of exertions to clear the country of the French, and there was no doubt of ther fuccefs. They calculated that Bonaparte had enough to do on the continent, It was alfo reported at Lifbon, that Ruffia had declared war againil France.

LONDON, May 10. It it with the utmolt fatisfacYion that we announce to our readers the arrival of prince Stahreinberg in town, as atnbaffador from the court of Vienna. His highnefs anived in London, about twelve o'clock this day, and immediately had an interview with mr Canning. He came through Holland and alter elcaping innumerable dangers was pic ked up in a filhing boat by one of our ctuizers. The intelligence which he has brought refperting the operations in Bava ria we are happy to fay, differ moft materially from the accounts given in the F. bulletins. He fays that the lofles fuftained by the French in the feveral artions, were quite as great as thofe of the Auftnans, Sc that as late as the 28:h ult. the French were unable to advance, h.iving fuffcrtd fo feverely. His highnefs is in high fpirits, Sc by no means conliders the advantages which the French obtained as decifive ot the tate of the campaign. He alfo flates, that in 1 taly the Auflrians lud obtained fome very important advantages, and that the whoh population of the Tyrol have rifen in favor of the Auflrians.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. Extract of u Utter from Portsmouth Ac7i'JInij)iii? c, dated July 5. I am fouy to inform you of a mofl dif-treffr-g accident witich happened yellerdy atteruoou at fort Coniiiiutiun at the mouth of this harbour ; uhich, for difUcfs, rx ceedi any tiling known in this town for many years. In diiVnargiug the cannon alout 5 oMork, fonie tire, (unknown how.) communicated to the amuniticn chtff, uhich it is faid contained four hundred wriht of powder, and immediately blr up. Six p-rt ).s urre known to be kdlrd utlhntlv, and twelve more danerouliv wounded ; bei.des a rrat many that unr on ihe ramparts, ot whom it i. impollihle to tll the f ttr ; one th..t w.s brought up lu town nu'ht, dird this mortnnr c 1 1 hi wounds, 'l'iic body of one of the fjidiefs

was picked up this forenoon near the fort,

being blown over into the lea. It was a moll horrid fight to fee the mangled and torn bodies lying in every direction. A leg in one place, a he-ul in another. One man was inftantly reduted to atoms ; the upper part of another man's body was found, parted in the middle, the other part is not yet difcovered. I was on the Ipot not five minutes before the explofion, with, 1 fhould think one hundred people, when inufick being heard, we left the place ; had ir not been for this fortunate rircumflance, we, undoubtedly fhould have fhared the fate of our unfortunate companions. Capt VValbach's houfe was neaily deOroyt-d, had it not been for the chimney, the whole would have fallen, and its inhabitants buried in the ruins. Captain W. was not hurt, his lady was twice thrown down, although but flightly injured. Five of the bodies with the fragments of others, are to be burled this afternoon. The names of thofe known are Sergeat Alberts ; two privates, MDaniel and Witham, mr. Pickering of New ington, and a boy belonging to Kittery. People are miffing and their friends are anxiou fly enquiring for them it is feared there are a great many that never will be found. BOSTON, July 11. Yefterd ay arrived in this port the fhip Commerce, capt. Howland, in 38 days from Lifbon. Captain Howland informs us that certain intelligence had been received at Lifbon that the Spaniards under Romans, as he thinks, had retaken Bilboa, and made prifoners of 6000 French troops. It was rumoured that Corunna had fallen into the hands of the patriots, but this was not confirmed. Sometime before capt. H. failed, it was dated that a French army was advancing from the fouth eaft frontier of Portugal with an intention to join Soult ; that general Beresford, plarmed at the account of their numbers, wrote to the Regency at Lifbon, to furnifh him with all the aid they could command ; but that the French general hearing of rhe furrender of Oporto, and the retreat of Soult, was returning to Spain. The accounts of Soult and his army were vague. It had been reported that with a body of cavalry he had endeavoured to ef-

4 W cape to Corunna. That he was purfued by

a detachment of Britifh cavalry, and was taken ; but this account was doubtful. At Lifbon, thr alarm occafioned by the advances of the French into Portugal, had in a confiderable degree fubfidrd, but the f ire of the country was ftill conlidered as uncertain and precarious. The emperor Alexander returned to Peterfburg fiom Finland on the 12th for the purpofe of being prefrnt at the marriage of the grand dutches Catharine. LISBON, May 27, It has been confirmed by official notice, that the French army of Marfhal Soult, beaten at Oporto and at Amaranta, has fled with precipitation, abandoning artillery, Daggagc Sec. and loofing a great number of folaiers in killed and prifoners. All our provinces of the north are freed from the Vandals, who committed great outrages in their flight. The inaiquis of Aflorgo is appointed prefident of the Supreme Junta in Spain. The patriots continue to refill the F. in Arragon. The French in Barcelona appeared to be preparing to withdraw from that place. Accounts from Seville are to May 15. The anninfary of the mafiacre of the citizens of M-drid by the French on the 2d of May, had been commrmoratrd. It was reported, that troops had been drawn from Naples by the F. to flreiu,thcn the aimy ot the Tyrol that there was an infurrection ot Calahrians ; and that gen. Stuart, with a mixed army of 30,000, was icady to afftfl them.

On the lO'.h ano thr llth, his impeiul hihm L the archduke John, with the army ui'der his command, rntr-rrd the territory nf Fnoule hy Piifba, Civid-lr -and (i-irtz. & attrr Cair.r opp'Tition advanced cm the 1 .1th to the Taijlucicnio. The enemy retired

ncrof the river, in order to join with the tioops in the rear. This junction, which probably took place at Sarile, niadr- the hoftile army five divifions flrong. In the nighc of the 14th, his imperial hihnt-fs proceeded with the advanced guard tow!cjs Pordenone ; the remainder of the army followed at day break. The enemy's advanced puard was at Pordenune, and his army was polled between that place and facile, near Fontana. In this fituation an action commenced which after a fanguinary contelt of two days, terminated entirely to our advantage. The vice king of Italy commanded the F. army. The refult was fo decifive that the enemy could not maintain themfelve behind the Livenza, but were obliged to retreat rapidly to the Piave the prifoners amount already to 6000 among whom arc generals Paze and BrcfTau. More are conflantly brought in. The lofs in killed Sc wounded greatly exceeds this number, and we have taken 16 cannon and 3 eagles ! PHILADELPHIA. July 12. Extract of a letter fiom a gentleman in Cadiz, to his friend in this city, dated May 27, 1809. It affords me much pleafurr, to inform you that the patriots have been bleflYd with uncommon fuccefs, in almoft every attack on the overbearing tyrants of this part of the world. Yrflerciay authentic accounts arrived of the Frenc It at Oporto being complrtely routed, killed, wounded and tkcn prifimers. Gen. Soult is wounded and taken prifoner by the Britilh at that place, Ferrol was lately confumrd with he magazines; three fail of the line, and five ftiips f-t on fire by the French, and then retreated. The Auflrian army, forming a force of from 5 to 600,000 men, have alreadytaken the field ; hcflilities commenced on the 1 1 th April. Intelligence has jufl been receive that near Venice, the advanced guards, a divifion of 35,000 men was repulfed by the Fiench, but the archduke John, having came to their afliftance at the head of a force of 20,000 men completely defeated the French, who were fifty thoufand flrong, under command of Eugene Beauharnois, vice roy of Italy, who was wounded. The lofs of the French is 20 000, men, the greater part killed or wounded the remainder pnfoners, befides the whole of their artillery and baggage. The archduke is in purfuit of the enemy. May 28th. News has jufl arrived from Seville, an nouncing for a certainty that the Ruffians and Prulfians have joined the Auflrians againfl France. All the hells in this place are now ringing, as alfo the firing of cannon and rejoicing on the actafion.

Revolution in Buenos Ayres We have long lufppcled that Liniers was exerting himfelf to the utmoft in favor ot the family of Bonaparte, and we now learn by letters from Rio Janiero, of the late date of February 6, that a revolution took place on the fiifl of January, in which Liniers triumphed, and is now completely nnfler as Viceroy of the city. It fecms that the marriage of his daughter with a young man of the name of Prrichon, which was contrary to law, dtfgufled the people generally who were befides, verv defirous to eJecl a junta, in imitation of Seville, &c. The Cabildo met, and the elections took place on the fiifl of January ; after wh'u h, prevfc ous drpofitions having been made by arming, Sec. or. both lidrs, todeiide the matter by force in c;fe of ncceffity, a negotiation took place between the Cabildo and Liniers rrgarding his laying down the fovereign authority . At length the heads of that body went to the Furfte to treat perfonally with the viceroy, when, up went the tlra i', ridge and they were quickly marched through the Puerto del Socorro to the water iidr, put on hoard a fchooner. and have been fent tAV nobody knows where ; but it h fnppolVd the voyage was not a h ug onr, Uic jt n know n there were very f w provifjci.s on board. The names of thofe v. ho thus put th'mfelves into the trap are Alzaga, VL lanueva, .St. Colorni, Varrla. and another. As a proof that this revolution is -ho-gether in favor of France, wr only need It ate that the above mentioned Prrichor, is a Frenchman by birth, and k tie per Ion who was charged by Liniers wirh ililpatches for IonprTr, g'vin; an account of his drfence of Burro Ayres, aaii ll the Britifh under gn.
