Latest from Halifax A letter, re
ceived yesterday from Halifax, by the
sloop May-Flower, in 7 days from that
place, contains the following informa
tion :—“ London dates to the 16th
June have reached this place ; they ad
vise, that Bonaparte’s army had evacua
ted the island of In-der-Labau, and re
turned again to the Vienna side of the
Danube with severe loss that the
Austrian official afccountof the battle of
the 21 st and 22d May, as published at
Stockholm, rates the loss of the French
at 30,000 ; that the Archkuke Charles
had addressed a proclamation to the ar
my in which he informs his troops that
he shall divide their forces and by con
stantly harassing the enemy, prevent
him, at any time, from attacking more
than a small division ; —this is thought
to be a wise and judicious plan, Sc more
calculated to harass his numerous
adversaries than trusting the whole to
the chance of any one important action.
“ There are various reports of battles
subsequent to the 23d May. Prussia
is said to be coming forward with an
army of 40 or 50 000 men ; the Duke
of Brunswick is also said to have raised
his standard in Saxony, and to be daily
strengthenging his party. Col. Schill
is not dead, as we reported ; but on
the contrary has augmented his force
very considerable.
NEW-YORK, August 3.
The mayor of the city is issued a
proclamation, interdicting under heavy
penalties, intercourse with the inhabi
tants of Brooklyn, on account of the pre
valance there of a pestilential or infec
iows disease.
Capt. Hathaway, of the Brig Orange,
sailed from Oporto the 21st June. He
informs, th.it it was reported at Oporto,
that the British and Portuguese armies
were at Branco on the 24th of June, in
pursuit of a French army under the
command of Gen. Victor. Soult’s ar
my was said to be in Spain. Only 600
of the rear guard of Soult, and 80 pieces
of cannon, had been taken by the Brit
ish army. On the 26th and 27th June,
1800 French prisoners were en barked
at Oporto for England. There were no
French troops in Portugal.
A French paper of the 13th says, that
“ by accounts from Vienna, the garri
son of that place is veryn umerous. The
j French troops in the environs have ta
ken positions which they expect every
1 moment to quit in order to repair to
such places as are already fixed upon.
These positions*.extend t-om Haimburg,
four leagues west of Presburg, to Brugg
on the Letha, Gritzendorf, Wiernerhor
borg, Lexemburg, Grinstramsdorl,
j Baden ; and from thence by Petrams
! torff Buikensdorff towards Closterneu
j burg and Zeismaul. It is said that a
j great number of troops have collected :
perhaps it is intended to cross the Dan
ube on that point. The duke of Rivo
li’s (Massena) corps continue to occu
py the two islands in the Danube be
tween Ebersdorff and EnbersdorfF.
We expect every day to hear of this ri
ver having been crossed anew.
The minister of state and foreign af
fairs (Campagny and Marat) were with
the Emperor at Vienna.
M. Talleyrand left St. Gall, in Switz
erland, on the 28th of May, and en
tended to go to Schraffhousen, to as
sist at the opening of the Diet. Tal
leyrand is atiled in the French papers,

From Cadiz.— A letter from Cadiz
of a late date, received by an arrival at
Philadelphia says—“ The affairs of
Spain go on gloriously, the French
have been beaten in every attack, by
the Patriots for several months past,
in fact of the grand army led into Spain
by Bonaparte, there are very few left,
and these are trying to retreat in every
possible way; But few of them will
ever get out of this Country, they are
scattered in different parts, hotly pur
sued by the Spaniards and dying of
hunger, heat, and fatigue.”

Extract of a letter from a well informed Am
erican Gentleman at L’Orient to the Editor
of the Merchantile Advertiser, dated the
15 r h June.
•• The Emperor received dispatches from
America only the day before the great battle
of Ebersdorf; since which he lias been occupied
with matters of much greater personal concern
#
F so that no answer has yet been given. In this
. bat tie,contrary to the advice of Lasnes,M a*sena
I and the most emenent of his generals, the
flower of the French army was engaged ; and
1 you are, by the time this reaches you, no doubt
well acquainted with the result. Letters from
persons who wereeye witnesses state that af
ter the French army crossed the Danube, the
Austrian army formed into a kind of half moon
with their flanks far extended, which induced
the Emperor Napoleon to believe they must
have weakened {weir centre. He, therefore,
ordered Lasnes, and three or four other gener
. als, to force their centre and beat them in de
, tail—But this was not the case. The Austri
' ans opened a fire of two hundred pieces of can
-1 non that had been marked behind the centre,
* and literally mowed down the French as with
t a scythe. It is supposed the loss of the
- French has been 30,000 prime troops ; the
. Austrian bulletins say 48.000 Since that
time v/e hear i>f no engagements. The great
mass of the French people of all ranks, even
' those round the Emperor’s person, areextreme
: ly favorable to an honorable commeruial inter
s course with us.

i passenger in the Syren, who assures us
. that this list was handed about in pri
t vate circles in France, and was believed

PAILADELPHIA, August 1.
The captain of the Syren reports that
it was generally understood in France,
that in the last action on the Danube
the French lost from SO to 40,000 men
' and suffered most severely by the loss
of principal officers.
| The rapidity with which Mr. Coles
proceeded to the seat of Government,
induces a beliefthat he is charged with
very important information from France.
It is reported that as he passed through
this city, he informed a gentleman,
that Mr. Armstrong’s baggage was ac
tually shipped on board the Mentor,
and that he was to sail in four or five
days after the Syren; and added to
which, letters have been received from
Americans in Paris stating their ex
pectation ofbeingobligedtoleave France
very shortly.

Yesterday arrived the ship Bramin,
Singleton, in 50daysftom Cadiz By
this arrival we have received from our
correspondent, Cadiz papers to the 7th
June, Gibralter papers to the id June
and Sevile gazettes to the 29th May ;
From these papers we have made some
extracts. Captain Singleton states that
the French were leaving Spain as fast
as they could, the patriots being every
were victorious.
A Cadiz extra GazetteofJune s,gives
an account of great successes in Arra
gon. The inhabitants had risen n a
body and cut of a small division of the
French. After this a division 1500,
determined to revenge themselves on
the inhabitants, marched to Monson,
where they were met by Gen. Blake,
with an inferior force. He however com
pletely repulsed them, and forced them
to an inglorious retreat.
SEVILE May 29.
We have beaten Soultand his army
entirely. His loss is 4,000 men sur
rendered to us, with all his train of artil
lery. Soult was taken prisoner in a
village of Gallicia, a few hours after the
surrender of his army. This is official.
,It is also true, that the mock King Jo
seph has left Madrid and fled to the
Monestcryof Labrador in Aranjuez,
and it is said had stripped that city of
all its valuables.
Romana has beaten a division of
Neys army and taken Ferrol.—The
duke del Parque is in Salamanca with
15,000 men. Coruna alone remains in
posession of the French.
Extract of a letter Jrom a gentleman in
Bordeaux , dated June 16, 1809.
“ Yesterday the Commissary of Marine for
this port, greatly alarmed us by making a very
injudicious communication to the Chamber of
Commerce of the City, on the subject of
American affairs It appears that the Minis
ter of Marine instructed the Commissary to
inform the Chamber of Commerce of Bor
deaux, of the late set of Congress interdicting
trade with France and England; at the same
time recommending t» them to suspend for the
present, all operations with the United States.
In conforming to the orders of his superior,
the commissary thought proper to annex com*
ments of his own, of a very alarming nature,
which were immediately communicated to the
Merchants on the Exchange, and as the whole
wore an official form, an immediate rupture
between the two countries was considered as
inevitable. The Commissary finding he had
gone too far, sent for one of the Members of
the Chamber, thro’ whose influence he pre
vailed on that Body to return his letter, prom
ising to write another more consonant with
the Minister’s views. Thinking it highly pro
bable some of the American merchants may
have communicated this alarm the United
States by this ship. 1 have the ught it my du t
ty to state to you. Sir, these facts, that in such
case, its bad effects may be counteracted.”
Extract of another letter from the same
gentleman, dated Bordeaux, June 17,
1809.
“ The ship hope having been detained a day
longer on account of some Merinos seized on
board, givc3 me an opportunity of stating to
you, that upwards of a dozen letters from Par
is by the mail of to day, mention that his Im
perial and Royal Majesty has revoked his De
crees'in favor of Holland, by opening the port*
of that country to neutrals. lam induced to
give some credit to this news, from the sensi
ble effect it has had on the price of Colonial
produce.”
