IMPORTANT iPoreijjn VIENNA, June 26. " The account given to the Commander in chief of the army of Italy, and -lately publithed, purporting the juu&ion of the two hostile generals Macdon'ald and Mo reau, was premaiure, and the former still remains with his corps (estimated at 25,000 men) in theevironsof Parma and Modena, where, as mentioned'lll the last Gazette, he attacked on the nth inft. General Count Hohenzollern, who was stationed near Mo dena, but was rep'jlfed by the latter,' with conliderable loss as far as the mountains. " Oil the 12th general Masionald, hav ing been previously joined by fix halt bri gades, and five regiments of cavalry, re newed the attack upon the weak corps of general HohenzolWn, confiding only of five battalions and fix squadrons of the regiment of Bufly. Our troops performed prodigies of valor ; the enemy was several times re pulsed, and the field of battle was covered with their dead ; but our loss, too, in lo obstinate an attion, against an enemy fix times more numereus, could not but be con liderable ; nevertheless, the enemy did not gain their end, which evidently was to sur round that (mall corps. In the retreat to wards Mirandole, they thrice parted our co lumn, but were as often repulsed, and the column utiifed again. Colonel Weyden field at the head of the reft of the regiment of Preifs, charged several times the enemy's cavalry with the .bayonet; and thus our re treat was made constantly fighting, in the greateftorder, and' without a tingle man's feeling his courage in the least dununified. The hofliie General Forest was killed in the action, and Macdonald himfelf wounded, several, of the enemy, including a Colonel, were alio prisoners." [Here Count Hohenzollern mentions, that though it was difficult to praise aßy in dividual here, every one in his corps having llgnalized himfelf; yet he could not forbear naming general count Palsy, who had a horle shot under him, Colonel Weydentield, and four other officers.] " J lift at the time When the enemy were making the above attack upon general count Hohenzolkrn, they prepared to make ano therupon St. Giovanni, probably with the delign of cutting off general count Klenau, whq was (fationed there and thus to pave himfelf a way into general Hohenzollern's rear. With this view an hostile column mai-ch«d from Bolognaagainft St. Giovauni, aiida fecosd column from Fort Lrbanno, to the lame quarter ; but General Glenuu got the Hart of the enemy, attacked in perl'on, repuMed the hostile column, with fume loss on both (ides, beyond the Samogie, and •took fifty prisoners on this orcafion. The second hostile column, from fort Urbano, «'as driven back in like manner ; and upon General Klenau's fending out a detachment from his lght battalliuns and the cavalry, towards Nonaltona, the latter encountered a third hoftilt column near St. Agaihy which was immediately attacked with the bayonet and the naked sword, and dispersed. About 100 men of tbis column, including a Chief of Battalion were brought" '» prisoners. In this affair the enemy loft likewise one hewitzer and an ammunition waggon. " General Count Klenau | raises in gene ral on '.his occasion, the courage of the troops under his command, but he particu larlg praises the reiolutenefs of the division of the Rangers ot Bufjr on Horfcback. [Here the names of the Officers who diltin guifhed themselves.3 j " To prevent tbe enemies advancir.g auy further from that quarter, not only Field Marshal Ott has aiready ad vanced to Piacenza; but also a great part of the Imperial Ruffian Troops were on their march to the Tame place." DM. ij 11 PARIS, July 15 The public tranquility was yesterday dis turbed in Paris. The fitting of the Soci ety in the Riding house had been opened ; the citizens were a (Tern bled round the tree of liberty, .placed in the middle of the hall, and sung patriotic airs, such as the Marieil loisbymn, &c. when several other citizens assembled in the Thuilleries, crying " down with the Jacobins," and Gnging " le Reveil du Peuple." Both fides were armed, and the cries redoubled. Protocations pafled to deeds : and it is said fonie (tones were thrown into the hall of the Aflembly in the Riding house, from whence issued a number of mem bers, who attacked with (licks thole on the Fewillans: they relisted; several were wound dd ; but some grenadiers of the legislative guard arriving, arretted leveral, and carried them before the infpeftors of the Ancieiits, and the groupes were dispersed. But during this time, several persons having broken into the heart of the hall of fitting of the Society, their fittings were disturbed, and they broke up in the midftof tuitiult. The news of this event, which is, perhaps only the fora-runner of some great difafttr, was circulated at Paris like lightning. Viftoi* Hugues has received a ball in the breast in a duel. . Yesterday about ten o'clock as night a crowd of young people failed forth from the Tennis Court to the Palais Royal, and thence to the Thuilleries, filling the avenues of the Hall of the Convention, where the new So ciety was assembled ; soon they assailed them with (tones, railing cries of " Down with the anarchists ; down with the Jacobins." Some had the indiscretion to cry, " down with the Republic !" » Long live Conde " Long live Artois 1" but in this their ac complices checked them. The guard came and attacked them with io much vigor, that in a moment they silenced them, making them lower their voices and arms; they took to their heels ; fourteen were arretted ; two poniards were found on one of them. Ihe Journal dts Hommes Libres imputes this royalist disturbance, as it calls it, to T.al leyrand..' VERONA, Jupe 15- General Macdorialdwas advancing by Reg g-io and Modena, with a view to effedt a jun&ion with Moreau, or relieve Mantua ; but not having pontoons enough to cross the Po, which was much swollen by the rain and defended on the opposite bank by Gene ral Kray, with 10,000 regulars, and 20,000 armed pedants, he advanced against Placen za, where he attacked and repulfrd General Ott on the 17th, near St. Giovanni ; but Suwarrow and Melas coming tw the alhftance ot' the latter, with coniirieiable rcintorce inents from Alexandria, the enemy were im mediately attacked and defeated, with the loss of 2,5000 killed, wounded and piifo ners. On the 18th and igtb the battles were again very murderous. The French had formed a square four men deep, and fought delperately, till a column of Rulfians passed a river up to their necks in water, broke through the square with the bayonet, and made a dreadful carnage among the enemy. On the whole, the French are supposed to have loft lince the 1 ith instant 15,000 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Macdouald himfelf has. received two wounds with a fab'e in the head by an Hun garian Huflar. Among the prisoners are' four Generals and liven hundred officers.

Yeflerday a ship arrived here from Brind ifi, with certain intelligence that the FreHch have at last evacuated Naples, Sefla, Capua and Gaeta. VIENNA, July 6. [From the Court Gazette,] " According to unofficial report, received from Acre at Conftantiuople from Ghczur Ghazi Ahmed Pacha, then Governor of Siti da and Syria, and likewise Seralkier or Ge neral in chief of all the troops in that coun try, Gen. Buonaparte entirely ceased lince the beginning of May to fire upon the for trel's, while the garrilon continued, by order of Ghezar Pacha, to harrafs the enemy day and night, from the redoubts botore this city, and by several little forties. " On the 6th a Turlcifh liotilla arrived in the rond of Acre, with the auxiliary corps from the I'orte, under Merabout Zadc, liaf ian Beg and Cupigi Ilir.fiel Beg, colleftrd at Rhodus. They began that very night to land lorae troops and to reinforce the prin cipal forts of Acre. " The »nemy aware of this rein force merit poured a terrible (liower of balls from an th -\r artillery upon the fortiefs, during the fame night ; on the next day, while all the .troops newly dil'embarked, were just pre paring for a general sortie, in cor,cert 'with the garrison ; they attacked a tour called Aly Hurgi, which, they had burnt before. But all the French penetrated there, were so warmly received by the Hjuflulinen, that with the help of God not one rlcaprd the sword, not to mention that tl>: great num ber killed, by the well direfted fire of the artillery, and the diicharge of mufquctry of the besieged. " Only one Freiartnnan was kept alive, till hh deposition was taken : from which it clearly appeared, that Buonaparte had artfully made his soldiers believe, That he had invaded Egypt and Syria, with the pre vious knowledge and conient of tlie Porte ; in order to put an end to the pretended re bellious Beys, in Egypt, and to that of Ghezar Pacha in Syria ; adding, that the commanders of thofc troops sent apparently to relieve the said Pacha, but in reality to dfiift him, Buonaparte, were in the secret, and wpuld at the firft approach of the French, leize on aivl deliver his person to them, so that the fortrefs would certainly surrender, and perhaps wit! ouffiring a single Uiot." " The pext evening at 8 o'clock, the enemy renewed their attack upon the fame half burnt tower, in hopes that the Turks would not be able to hold out, and from a desire to revenge the disgrace and 1 fs of the preceding Jay. But all the affailant# were again cut in pieces by the brave defen ders, and Buonapartes hopes frullrated a second time. " Befperatefrom these repeatedly fruf trated attempts, Buonaparte resolved the next .day upon a new storm which was how ever, again beaten off, with great loss to the l'riends, for all who penetrated were cut in pieces. "The following days, till the nth of May, the French general, only annoyed both the fortrefs and its towers, by a continual & very brisk fir 6 of artillery. 1 his induced all the troops in the fortrels to a general faliy, in which an immenf? number of the French were partly cut to pieces, partly dispersed, and by help of the Almighty, io completely defeated, that Buonaparte was forced to set fire to his own camp and baggage, to retreat with the small remains of his troops, under the cover of the night, to the environs of Jaffa. Ghezar Hatha ordered his cavalry to pur sue the flying enemy, and difpatlhed neces sary inftru&ioTis to several places, to cut off, if possible, « r the road on which tbe French retreated. " Meanwhile, the said Seralkier Pacha ha« forwarded the heads of 13 French, Generals and chiefs, and of about 3000 comnailliontd and non-comjuflioned officers, to the i ort, at Conftantinopii-, vvhete-they arrived on the 12th ■ une, and were all put up, the next day, agreeable to cultom, in fioot of ihe principal gate of the Grand Slgnior.'s palace (Babi Humajum) an.inscription of the above event, put '-xpofed to the inhabitants of that city.'

His Majesty was therr graciously pleased to give the parfonal assent to Eleven Bills • among which were the Militia ReduQion' the Consolidated Fund, the Judges Appoint! ment, and the Scots Small Bills After which His Majesty closed the Ses sion with the following Speech from the Throne : " My Lords and Gentlemen, " .The favourable appearance which I announced to you at the commencement of the present Session, have since been followed by fucctfres beyond my most sanguine ex. pefihtioni—By the progress of the Impc. rial arms under the command of the Arch, duke Charles of Aullria, a great part of Switzerland has already recovered its an cient religion, laws and liberties; and the uninterrupted and brilliant v'ifories of the combined armies under the command of Field Marshal Suwarrow, have, in the short period which has elapsed finer the opening of the campaign, nearly aceomplifhed the deliverance of Italy from the d«grading yoke of the French Republic. " The decision and energy which distin guish the councils of my ally the Emperor of Russia, and the intimate Union and con cert happily cftablifhcd between us, will ena ble me to employ to the greatest advantage, the powerful means which you have intrust. Ed to me, for establishing on permanent giounds, the fecurily and honor of this country, and the liberty and independence of Europe. " I have the fatisfaflion of feeing that internal tranquility isiufome digree rellor ed in my ki.igjom of Ireland. The re maining naval force of the enemy to a dill ant quarter, mud nearly extimuiifli even the precarious hop*, which the traitorous ancf difaffc&ed have entertained of foreign afiift ance.—But our reliance for the itnmej diate fifety ot that country, mult ftiil reft troops of all d icriptions, and the unshaken loyalty and v6luntary exertions of my faith fecurity can alune be intured by its intimate and entire union with Gnat Britain; and I am happy to oLlerve that the fuitiments manifeiled by numerous and refpeftable deferipti usof my Iriih uibjedts, ji.tlify the hope that the accomplishment of this great and salutary work will be proved to be as much the j ii.t «uh, as it tiuqueltionably is the common intcrells of both my king- " '1 he pr»v iiona which you have made for fupprefilng those dangerous and sedi tious Societies which had been formed for the purpose of Jiffeminating the daftruft ive principles of the French revolution, are peculiarly adapted to the circumltances of the times, and have furnifhed additional fccurity to the eftaHlifhed Constitution. " Gentlemen of the Huufc of Common 8, " The unusual facritices which you have made in the present moment on behalf of ' my fubjefls, arc calculated to meet effeftually the exigencies of this gre»t_ crisis. . They have at the fame' time girfcfl i additional security to public credit, by' establishing a system of finance beneficial . aiike to yourfelvcs and to poftcrity , and the checfulnefs with which thefc heavy, burdens are supported, evince at once the good fmfe, the loyalty and tie public fpiot of' \iy people. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " It is impofiible to compare the events of the prefrnt year with the slate and prof pefts of Europe at the dillance of but a tew months, acknowleging, in humble thankfulnefs, the visible interpolition of divine Providence, in averting those dangers which so long threatened the over throw oi all the eftab ifhmeius of the civilized world. " It may be permitted to us to hope, that the fame protecting Proviarnee will continue to m its guidance through tb* remainder of this eventful conuft, and will coiifcludt it finally to such an iffufc lhall transmit to future ages a memorable' exarrple of the iuftability of all power * founded oh ii justice, ufarpation and im» • piety ; and lhall prove the impoflibility. of ultimately difloiving the coni»e£tt«n be tween public prosperity and public virtue.'*' The .Lord Chancellor then declared Hii Majesty's Royal will and that thf parliament be prorougued until the 27th day of Auguit next ; and- that thfr, parliament Hood prorogued to that accordingly. « *» I& *■3
