London papers down to the 10th May, which contain the following intelligence have been received.

By these papers it appears: there has been some tremendous hard fighting between the Austrians and the French, in which the latter has been uniformly victorious. Four battles had been fought of which a particular account is given by two Bulletins of the French Grand Army.

We have not room to publish the bulletins at length -- we have therefore given an abstract.

At the battle of Poenhoen - the French claimed 300 prisoners:

Battle of the Tonn -- the Austrians lost between 6 and 700 prisoners. In these engagements the Austrians suffered materially among their officers. Gen. Kollowrath and Gen. Lusignan is mentioned among the wounded.

Battle of Abensberg -- an attack was made on 60,000 Austrians, by Buonaparte in person. The fruits of this Battle were eight standards, twelve pieces of cannon, and 18,000 prisoners.

Battle of Landshut -- 50 pieces of cannon, 9000 prisoners 600 ammunition waggons, and 5000 baggage waggons and the Austrian hospitals and magazines, were taken by the French.

Battle of Eckmuhl - The French lost 1000 prisoners the great emperor was in a terrible rage - he swore that in twenty-four hours Austrian blood should flow in Ratisbon, to revenge this insult to his arms. The Austrians engaged, are stated at 110,000 men, under the Archduke, Charles, who narrowly escaped being made prisoner. All their wounded, the greater part of their artillery, fifteen standards and 20,000 prisoners - were the fruits of this battle.

Battle of Ratisbon - this battle commenced at day break. Three successive charges were made by the Austrian cavalry which attempted to cover the city. 8000 Austrians were cut to pieces. The Duke of Montebello in the wall of the city All who made resistance Were cut to pieces. The number of prisoners exceeded 8000.

In all these battles the French estimate their loss at only 1200 killed and 4000 wounded!

Of 220,000 of which the Austrian army was composed, all have been engaged except 20,000. On the other hand, nearly one half of the French army have not fired a shot.

The second Bulletin is dated Head Quarters at Muhldorf, April 27, and gives an account of the movements of several divisions, to intercept the Austrians in their retreat.

This Bulletin, after stating that the Archduke Charles had been cut off from the Inn and Vienna, and was retiring to the mountains of Bohemia, concludes with a Proclamation from Buonaparte to his armies, in which he says, he has 100 pieces of cannon, 50,000 prisoners and promises before a month is elapsed, to be at Vienna.

GERMAN ACCOUNT.

Prince Starhemberg, Ambassadour from the Emperor of Austria, arrived in London, on the 10th of May. He states, that the losses sustained by the French in the several actions of which Bulletin accounts are given, were quite as great as those of the Austrians; and to the 28th of April, the French had not entered on the Austrian Territory. The Tyrolese have declared in favour of Austria; and the Austrians have gained some important advantages in Italy.

The Ambassadour is in good spirits, and by no means considers the late battles as decisive of the fate of the War.
