Hague, May 22. The following important intelligence is contained in letters of the 13th inft. from the Lower Rhine : On the 15th of April, the emperor of RulTia declared war againft Auftria, and ordered his armtts to enter Gallicia and Hungary. The Ruffians have already entered Gallicia. Since the 9th inft. the French flag has been unfurled or the top of St. Stephen' church at Vienna. On the 10th or 11th the emperor Napoleon was to leave the capitol. The emperor Francis II. has foliated prace. Dutch papers of the 23d arrived late laft night and have brought an account of the French having entered Vienna. Schill's bold enterprize continues to give the greateft alarm to the enemy to the N. of Germany, He has taken Bremen, and his band increafing to an army, is fpreading throu -h Brunswick and Hanover, the inhabitanti of which are to a man in his favor. Jerome Bonaparte has no army capable of oppofing him, and confines himfelf to proclamations offering rewards for his apprehenfion. One article ftates that the king of Pruflia, fo far from approving his conduel, his fent an army of 30,000 men, againft him. The neceflity which is here confefled of fending fo large a force againft him proves the formidable nature of the infurredlion which he has brought aboutCut we do not believe the king of Prufli has fent any force againft him, and we remember having read in the Leyden Gazette the other day, fome refiVcYions againft his Pruffian majefty upon the fubjeel of Senilis enterprize. LONDON, May 16. The third French Bulletin, is dated 'head quarters, Burghaufen, April 30th, 1809, by which it appears that the Auftriani had fallen back acrofs the Inn, but without moleftation ; and that the French had advanced acrofs that river ; when the Bavarians marched to Saltfburg, which they took from the Auftrians. The archduke Ferdinand has taken Warfaw, which is his head quarters. He has under his command an army of 110,000 men, independent of any lofs he may have fufikred in the late acYions The Auftrian army is in nine divifions of about 42,000 men each. Bellegrade has the firft, the archduke Charles has three, the archduke Lewis two, the archduke John two. There is brfides a militia, which forms an army of referve. The emperor of Auftria has called upon the inhabitants of Upper and Lower Auftria and Saltfb'irg to raife en mafte, and repair to the batiks of the inn.

ABSTRACT OF NEWS. London, May 18. The German papers contain the 7th, 8th and 9th Auftrian official repoits. Thrfe admit that the French had, in general the advantage, tho' not to the extent their bulletins have held out ; and, if credit can be placed on the fubequent intelligence, received by way of Hamburgh, the arhduke Charles has been eminently fuccefsful. He is Plated after three days hard fighting, to have driven the enemy thirty miles baik, Sc to have killed and taken upwards of 40 000 of their troops. And in Italy the archduke John is faid t have gained, on the 15th Sc 16th ult. a decifive victory over the French who loft 8000 killed, and 10,000 wounded, 10 pieces of cannon and 3 eagles were taken. The Auftrians loft 10,000 men, killed wounded and prifoners. Jerome Bonaparte has iflued a proclamation, ordered the inhabitants of Wt ftphalia Htffia and Saxony, to be deprived of every offenfive weapon, even of knives, forks, fcyths, Etc. Thii augers well ! In Spain, the c'aufe of the patiiots has a Turned a more favorable afpedL The F. are conftantly marching off a great part of their army for Italy. The French in Oporto, it is believed, wifli to furrender to the Britifti ; and from an tertepted letter from gen. Kellerman it appears that owing to the Auftrian war, he confidcrs the fituation of the Fiench in the whole of the Peninfula, as extremely critical. The French gen. Loifon, was killed in the ftreets of Oporto, by fome Portuguefe foldiers. A meflenger with difpatches to the Spanifti deputies arrived in town this morning. On the 21ft ult. it was publicly notified at Seville, that a divifion of the SpaniQi army had taken poflVflion of Alcantara, which had been prcvioufty abandoned by the enemy. Warfaw, the capital of Poland, upon the approach of the archduke Ferdinand, had been evacuated by the French. The van of the Auftrian army entered that city on the 1 9th ult. By an official difpatcb from the Auftrian gen. Taxis we lern, that the inhabitants of the Tyrol, have with the utmoft enthufiafm rifen in favor of Auftria, and have defeated the Bavarian troops in feveral engagements. Two generals and about 12,000 Bavarians have been taken prifoners.

From St. Domingo city. We ftill remain befieged by the Spaniards, and blockaded by the Britifti, tho not veiy ftriclly by the latter. At this moment there is fiarcely an ounce of bread, beef, pork, butter Etc. to be had, excepting on fome days a piece of horfe meat, and others a little fill), and a few vegetables. Government has a fmall quantity ofprovifions in ftore, but it is exclufively appropriated for the army, Since Ferrand's affair, the French have been vietorious in every engagement with the Spaniards, have taken feveral of their works & cannon, and extended their lines to a confiderablc diftance in the country. We are in good fpirits at prefent, believing the embargo was raifed on the 4'h of Mnrch, and looking out for American veflels daily. A fmall parcel of provilions which arrived fince the fiege, has fold at enormous prices viz. butter lard and cheefe, at 2 dols. per pound ; beef 75 cents, pork 150 cents potatoes and com, 25 cents the pound. Hour would fell at 50 dollars. Boston Cent. Lkydkk, May 2.

Thefe propoiitions the Turkifh minifters would hy no means admit.

In a fmull affa ir at Iruecha, the French lofs w?s 220 men. The French were afterwards reinforced with five thoufid, but the Spanifti pcafantry were not intimidated. Letters from Algiers ftate, that all the natives of France, fettled in that city have been put jn irons. ? A French decree dated in March, contains in fuhftance, that confiftated American veflVls, whofe fales will take place in the ports of the emperor, may be bought on foreign account, on paying a duty of fifteen francs per ton. Seville, May 25The Junta have decreed that the Cortes of the nation (National Aflcmbly) ftuli be convened. The Supreme Junta have decreed that there ftiall be an annual religious ferv ice to invoke benedictions on king Ferdinard ; and to perpetuate the remembrance ol the tyrannical conduct of Napoleon.

And even in that caiV, it is matter of doubt whfther any of them will return to France, as the army of marliul S..ult has been nearly defhoyed in Portugal, and Key, in Galluia, is furrounded by Romana's troopa and Gdlicians.
