LONDON, April 8, to 11. Gor
Privaee accountsreceivedfromViennahave
brought the difagrccable news of a general 2 4 1 '
ailion having taken place between the two m y»
grand armies in the Tyrol, in which the a ' oa
Austrian army was defeated with very con- xen
fiderable loss ; and the Archduke for a fliort *°> c
time taken prisoner, some of the enemy's j P r ''
troops having seized his horse's bridle ; but !
; his Royal Highness was very soon rescued j
by some of his soldiers. He is reported to omt
■ be wounded- '
» The following additional particulars are g lv(
• given also : that Buonaparte apprised of the hed
■ march of a numerous body of troops to re- F r:
inforce the army of Prince Charles, made too
an attack upon his Royal Highness, -which, kill
after an obstinate and desperate ccnflift was °hl
. attended with complete fuecefs. The re- F r ' :
- fult of this unfortunate affair was that the l' ai
Archduke, thus cut off from his reinforce- Au
ments immediately retreated into the circle f<iu
- of Austria, leaving the French general to Ar
-1 take quiet poffeflion of ofthe important polls
s ; of Villecli, inCarinthia, about 60 leagues
rr , f rom Vienna. In the above aftion eleven cor
i- officers belonging to one Austrian regiment Fn
I are said to have been killed ; and the arch- an
1- duke, as before stated, in his endeavours to Tj
retrieve the fate of the day, narrowly efca- th«
f-| ped, in a wounded condition, from falling Sa
e into the hands of the enemy. The heroic |
e behaviour of his Royal Highness upon this Fr
rS occasion, is spoken of in terms of the highest tra
ir admiration. On' the intelligence of this rcj
io reaching Vienna, that city was thrown trc
into the utmost consternation, and, in the 1,11
moment of alarm, many of the inhabitants an
proceeded to pack up their property, for
' the purpose of removing it to a place of
; greater security. ls '
ld Such are the general outlines of the pri- o"
ife vate advices received upon this fubjeft.—
The official dispatches received by govern- c«£
ment on Thurday, it is however neceifary to he
e ; observe, make no mention whatever of any of
\ n general engagement having taken place.— au
They, however make mention, that the im- let
perialifts had been defeated in a partial ac
tion, with the loss of one general and 1800 th
men taken prisoners ; and adds, that there eh
li_ had been several affairs of polls, in which the w
French were generally victorious. The fe<
archduke, it is allowed on all hands, has re- fp
™ treated into Carinthia, but whether in con
ro, sequence of the defeat stated to have been th
:es sustained by him, or for the purpose of con- fit
:m centrating his force for the defence of Auf- L
; an tria, is difficult to mention.
lth In the account lately given of the secret m
ar . articles of the treaty signed at Basle, and ra- so
he tified by a new Convention on the 6th of it
be- August last, at Berlin, between Prussia and ti
vi- France, it was stated that his Prussian Ma- a
jefty had made certain flipulations fbt him- a.
rcd felf, the Stadtholder, and the Prince of d
Hesse. The following was the project. «
,j er of Prussia to have the fertile
I provinces of Munfter, which lies contiguous v

im- J Fulda ; "

• I principalities of Oxnaburgh, as a bonus for J

V°" Every information supports the belief, r,
a " f 1 that let the war terminate as it may, the J
a I King of Prussia as well as the French Di- 1
ion, reftory, will be foiled in their plans of fecu- •;
" larifing Germany, and of reducing the Em- I
peror's authority as Chief of the Empire. <

-5 I This position is much more favorable than
ler"a I that which the Archduke was reported to
have taken, and he can here receive the re
e, as inforcements which are fending to him, with
hem-1 out any interruption from the French,

In answer to Mr. Fox's observations, Mr.
Pitt repeated—« That be could not fee how
far thepurpofe, which was evidently and equal
ly in the view of all parties, was to be accele
rated by the present motion. He had fully ex- (
plained, what the purpose of Mr. Hammond's j[
I mifpon to Vienna was, '' to adopt the means u nitc
mojl likely to bring about a pacification in con- No
cert with his majefly's ally." The object of fliare:
■ both parties was the fame, and the important
events which had lately taken place rendered it
more necejfary than ever that they Jhould ad tn j |
: concert. This flep was Jefolved upon as soon irtwJ
s as miniflers were informed of the magnanimous to pr
; resolution of the Emperor not to make a peace
1 I but in concert with Great-Britain. This had
t been contradicted, becavfe the fa 3 had not been , L-l
used in argument when the Emperor's loan was
; debated. It was omitted by him, but not un
- deftgnedly. He chose to leave the queflion on p
1 its own ground, after he had slated, in Q a p
il every pojfible view of the circumflances the Em-
J peror was entitled to our aid. The advices
e which hadJince been received were certainly of
an unfortunate tenor ; the real extent of the bu
h finefs was not, however, as yet known. He
e did not a3 upon those advices, though he Jhould
i, certainly combine them with his other views of J
