In the House of commons last night, lord Henry Petty put a question to Mr. Canning upon the subject of the cor rispondence between Mr. Erskine and ! the American government. Mr. Can- j ning replied, that the agreement, pur- j porting lobe entered into by our minis ters and the American government, was not made; in conformity with the wishes of his majesty nor such as his majesty could approve of. It was nei ther founded on the instructions sent to our minister, nor consistent with them. Yet, as it was possible, that un der the faith of that agreement, vari ous speculations in trade might be en tered into hv American merchants, it became necessary to prevent any in convenience or detriment to them, to is sue some order, by which they might be secured of indemnity in their spec ulations, at least till the sentiments of his majesty could be conveyed to Amer ica. An order in council would speedi ly be published to the above-mentioned effect. Il will appear in Saturday night’s gazette. Previously, however, to the meeting of the house of commons yes terday, Mr. Sansom, the chairman of the committee of merchants trading to the United States of America, received a note from earl Barthurst, president of the board of trade, requesting his at tendance, with such other gentlemen of the committee as might be inclined to ■accompany him to the board. The chairman and several members of the committee repaired atone o’clock to the treasury chamber, apd on their being introduced to the board of trade, were informed by earl Bathurst, that the recent arrangements mane by our ambassador, Mr. Erskine, with, the government of America, through its se cretary. Mr. Smith, were unauthorised by his majesty’s ministers, and that he had sent for the committee, for the ex press purpose of communicating the fact to them, with the view that the ?ame might without loss of time be made known to the merchants trading to the United states, llis lordship at the same time informed the committee, that no advantage would be taken, or any impediment tlnown in the way of i those *bo had already, and in conse quence of this unauthorised arrange ment, sent consignments to any of his Britannic majesty’s subjects ; but that American ships and cargoes under such circumstances would be allowed to pro ceed to their destined ports in securi ty. Dutch papers to the 23d arrived late last night and have brought an account of the French having entered Vienna. The intelligence was published at Rat isbon on the 12th in a bulletin, which stated that on the 9th Bonaparte entered the Austrian capital.

Up to the 25 th no trace of an enemy had been observed on the Austriun frontiers. Eleventh Bulletin. The information respecting the bat tle of the 22d, which lias been recci- [ ved by his majesty have laid a founda tion for the best hopes. The result of that sanguinary con test was unexpected. In the evening 1 as the courier left the field, a great su periority of cavalry decided the action unfavorably to our arms. The left i wing was compelled to give way. j According to a report from hisimperi- ! al highness the Generalissimo, dated j on the 22d from the heights of Ruttis- j bon, the grand army has crossed the ! Danube, and taken the road to Wold niunchen. Thus terminated a most obstinate battle, which had continued for five days without interruption. Fortune often fluctuated. The loss on both sides is immense. This shews that the contest was carried on both with cou rage and animosity. Every one must do justice to the behaviour of our troops. The generalissimo bestows great praises on the conduct of the ar my, which has been quite exhausted by continual fatigue. Lieut, field-marshal baron Hiller is between the Iser and the Inn.

A considerable force of cavalry ani vedat Lisbon on liic 2d of June, from England, destined for the interior of Portugal ; and it was supposed they would proceed to The British and Spaniards were using every exer tion to clear tne country of the French, and it was supposed they would copi pleteiy effect that object, calculating that Austria would find sufficient em ployment for the army of Bonaparte. It Was also -eported at Lisbon, that Russia had declared WAR AGAINST FRANCE! Captain Johnson of the ship Caroline from Cadiz informs us, that he had a Seville G-iZitte, which he understood contained the Russian declaration ol War but that he was boarded on his passage by a British frigate, and gave it to the boarding officer. ; A British brig of war arrived at Lis from Malta, had brought advices that on the 15th of April, a severe battle was fought on the Tyrol between the Austri ans and the French, that the advanced guards of the Austrian army consisting | of 35,000 men, was twice repulsed by j the French army of 50,000 men, under command of prince Eugene Beauhar i nois ; that the archkuke John, came up ! with a corpse de reserve of 20 000 men | and entirely defeated the French, who : lost 20,000 killed, wounded, and taken prisoners; among the wounded, was Eu gene Heauharnois.

The dispatches by this vessel were made up previous to the arrival ofthe Mentor, which ship had reached France but a few days before the sailing ofthe Fair American. Ow ing to the difficulty of communicating with Bonaparte, in Germany, the Men tor, it was thought, would have to be de tained until the middle or latter end of June. The American non-intercourse regu lations were said to be so severely lelt in France, that coffee and white sugar were selling at a dollar per pound, while French produce was so little in demand that brandy could be purchased for twenty or thirty dollars per pipe, and wine in proportion. Mr. Purviance publicly declared at the City-Coffee-House in Philadelphia, on the evening of his arrival, that the measures of Mr. Jefferson’s administra. • i Embargo, had met the decided approbation ©1 the Lest in ‘ inEurope-ail of whom, » that wtrt fnendly to the United States : had greatly regretted its so early rtmol Val, and were apprehensive it would be productive cf evil. r The Fi tnch had confined a number of t American capt’s. in the jail in Dunkiik - all of whom have been liberated or made' j llusr escape, except captain Tucker, j of the "William of Newberry, and a can!
