in fo fiiort a pafiagc," much news is naturally expelled; but the faft is, no change has taken place, in our affairs. Mr. Armkrong remains in Paris, and the French decrees arc fl ill in force. There had been no battles of moment fmcc the defeat of Bonaparte near Vienna, on the twenty fir ft and twenty fecond of May ; the reafon of which is, that Napoleon

was waiting the arrival of a

large Kulfian army which was

marching through Gallitzia in

three divihons.

ges on the Danube have been

repaired ; and Bonaparte ex

petted todeftroy the Aultrian

trogaded from Kberfdorf to

Vienna, where his head quarters, were, on the twenty fourth June. jBulletin num ber nineteen, flates that an action had been fought near Kaab in Hungary, on the thirteenth June. The French army was commanded by prince Eugene, and the AuItrians by the archduke John. The latter were forced by

three columns, of twenty or twenty five thogfand men ; the fitft column was attack, ed by the French and repulfed, but the fecond detained for a moment the impetuofity of the French firft divifion, which was immediately reinforced, and repulfed the Aullrians. Auflrian lofs 3000 killed, and about the lame number wounded. French lols nine hundred killed and wounded. The twentieth bulletin llatcs that the Kuffian army, under the command of prince Gallitzan, had entered Gallitzia, near Hungary in three divifions, to attack the Auitrians.

to Hate, that during his flay at L'Orieut, he received the molt police & friendly treatment from all the officers of the French government, for which he wifhes thus to exprefshisgratclul acknowledg mcnts. Philadelphia, August 3. Arrived this morning fiiip Creole, Hobkirk, from Am fterdam, with palfengers, in ballait. Left the Texel the

London, June 10. A declaration lias been oub-

Hfhcd againft Auflria by the court of pctei fburg, but as it does not go to the length of announcing the commencement of actual hokilitics, and it is not likely to be attended with any other reliilt than a fufpenfion of friendly intercourle between the two nations.
