BOSTON, July 3
Latest from England.

We were yesterday politely favored with Halifax papers to the 20th ult. containing London dates to May 10. These papers contain the French official particulars of the battles between the armies of France and Austria, of which our previous intelligence from the north of Europe gave but the general result.

His highness arrived in London about 12 o'clock this day, and immediately had an interview with Mr. Canning. He came through Holland, and after escaping innumerable dangers, was picked up in a fishing boat by one of our cruizers. . The intelligence which he has brought respecting the operations in Bavaria, we are happy to say, differ most materially from the accounts given in the French bulletins. He says, that the losses sustained by the French in the several actions. were quite as great as those of the Austrians, and that as late as the 28th the French were unable to advance, having suffered so severely. His highness is in high spirits, and by no means considers the advantages which the French obtained as decisive of the fate of the campaign. He also states. that in Italy the Austrians had obtained some very important advantages, and that the whole population of Tyrol have risen to a man in favor of Austria,
