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, “ ministers of France. ” 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.” August 1. 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. t i The following we received from a i passenger in the Syren, who assures us . that this list was handed about in pri t vate circles in France, and was believed . to be correct, t LIST , Os the French killed and wounded in the t battle of EUinth on the Danube the 2Ur • and 22d of May . > Killed.

Chaharidc, Despagn*. 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. Latett Jrom S/tain. 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.” Tribute of Respect , At a meeting of the Republican citi zens of Boston, on the 22cl inst. voted to give a public dinner to the honora ble John Quincy - Adams, previous to his departure to Russia : and that the hon.
