the attack of Ulna, BMADull'', with a very large' division, was employed on the fiontiers of Bavaria, towards the Inn, watching the advance of the Auf trians. 0! the corps of the French army engaged at Ulm, there teems to have been the cavalry of referve under Musav, the corps of Mai fhal LASHES, the Gallo Batavian army under MARMONT, and probably part of SOULT'S and NEY'S divifions. The Im perial Guard were alfo there. From this army part of the detachments have matched along the Lech, towards the paffes of the Tyrol, by Fuelfen, Schott gau, &c. To prevent the chance of the Auflrians, tatty encamped on the Iller, foteing their way back through Bavaria, the French have thrown up entrench ments on the Lech. While thefe operations have been going on upon a‘ie 111er and the Lech, Marthal BERNADOTTE pnr ft‘ed the corps of the Auftrian General Kr ENMAYER through Munich, where he atrived on the 12th. It is this corps of General KIENMAYSR, amounting to almoli t 2,c00 men, that the Ruffians have joined, and not the main army, as has been erroneoufly fuppofed. But even that junftion could not have been fo early as the t2i h. BF RNA tocryr a transferred his head quarters from Munich towards the Inn, and his advanced pens were on that river. The head quarters were at 'Weilheirn, and different corps at Hohenlinden, Paff horn, &c. Letters from Ratiffion, of the I6th fay, that the corps of the French Army advancing to meet the Ruffians was sio,cco men, while that on the Lech and tiler was 80,000 : a tnonftrous exaggeration. — BONA PARTS could not march in fufficient force againft the Ruffians till General MACK'S army was difpofed of ; and if that was not done before the 2oth, there is great reafon to hope that the Ruffians, with the wreck of the army of Suabia and fuch reinforcements as could be collated, would be able to maintain themfelves on the Inn. We have no idea that Bea waoorrs's corps, though very (hong, was of itfelf in force to meet them, tinlefs they advanced without confideration , But if BONAPARTE has fucceeded in difperfing or deftrnying MACK'S army, be will then turn upon them with fuperior numbers. The report of AUDRREAU'S Army from Breit hav ing croffed the Rhine at Fiuninguen, teems untrue. It has arrived on the Upper Rhine, and fume regi. Trims of cavalry have reached Manheim. He is going therefore through Suabia, to fupport the ope rations in that quarter. : There. details refer, however, to events prior to thole alluded to in the reports from Boulogne, and alfo in letters from Holland, as we mentioned yeller day. If there be any truth in the latter flaw. menu, the Auftrians were again defeated on the =9th, arid on that day General Mace and his Staff, were made prifoners. Exaggerated as the loffes of the Anfirians may have been, there can be no doubt that the army in Suabia has been almoß deftroyed. The Bulletin from Boulogne undoubtedly referred to a fuccefs fubfequent to the 15th. We fear, therefore, that the total defeat of General MACK is certain. It is Ilited in letters from Vienna of the loth, that the Emperor of RulEa was expelled there on the t zth. from Italy no certain accounts are yet received, though the reports of bloody battles in the Italian Tyrol fill prevailed, and had been received from different quarters.

RAMSGATE. OCTOBER 28. The 4th Regiment, which arrived on Saturday, embarked yefterday at one, and failed for the Downs about two o'clock. It was thought that the whole fleet of tranfports would have faded yelterday, but they Rill remain at their moorings. The ARIADNI, which failed on Saturday morning with General Dos and Suite, was obliged to put back in the evening, 1 owing . to the change of wind from South to South Eaft, in which point it blew a brifk gale, right againft her. Having come within a league and a half of (bore, finnewhat nearer to Ramfgate than Deal, the unfortunately !truck on the lee-fide lithe land-breaks which run in that dircaion, and lay in molt immi nent danger from (even till eleven o'clock P.M. when the was luckily got off at half flood tide. When the Captain perceived himfelf in danger, the lights were immediately hoifted, and the guns kept firing till the arrival of a pilot boat from Ramfgate , with eighteen men, to whom the veffel was given in charge. The (well was fo great, that the pilots had fome difficulty in getting on board ; but having furmonnted every obttacle by their perfeverance and courage,they found, on gaining the veffel, that the was in danger every inttant of heaving on her broadfide ; to prevent which, thez i got out all the fpare (pars on deck, and cliove them down alongfide, as a kind of fcaffolding to fuflain her again& the breakers, which lathed with the utmuft violence on the larboard fide; happily this excellent contrivance was attended with complete fucccfs, and enabled the hands to flow away, fo at to lighten and right her bow about eleven, when the made a great deal of water, and had already taken in feveral tuns. Two or three of the Deal boats came alongfide in about three quaiters of an hour after the arrival of that from Ramfgate, but were not allowed to go on board, as the Ramfgate Pilots had the vef fel in charge at their peril. General Dos, in the midtt of this danger, to which he was not accultorn ed, difplayed great fortitude and pretence of mind, never teeming to fear fur himfelf, but expreffing fome apprchenfion for the fafety of his difpatches.— ' Yetterday morning the General put to tea again, but returned loon afterwards, in confequence of orders conveyed to him by a fall failing cutter from Ramf gate. gate. From the courfe which he (leered in the firft inttance,and other cireumftances, it is thought that the Wefer was his deftination. The wind is now fo ftrong to the Eaft, that no tranfports can come from the Downs ; we are not to have any embarkation, there fore, till to-morrow, if the wind change, when Come regiments of cavalry and infantry are expetfted in to go on board. There is not a tingle tranfport here at prefent for the reception of infantry, and only three in readinefs for cavalry. It is even Paid that there are not any more at the Downs, and that the re mainder of the troops intended for the expedition muff wait until the arrival of tranfports from Cha tham, Woolwich, and other places.

DitaY-LAN a THIATIII.LaII night a Comedy, intitled A Prior Claim, the avowed production of Mr. Pet, the Poet Laureat, and Mr. ARNOLD, fon of the late eminent Compofer, who has married the Lan reat's daughter, was performed at this Theatre for the firft time, and was, upon the whole, very favon rably received. The Drantatie Perform., and Rory, are briefly as follow blr William Freeman - . Mr. DOWTON, Coked Raymund Mr. BARRYMORS, Henry Mortimer . Mr. ELLISTON, Young Freeman - - Mr. De CAMP, Lounger Patrick Whatter - - Mr. JOHNSTON, Mac Gregor - - - - Mr. Doi mea Robin - • Mr. COLLINS. Maria - - Mifs Du NCAW, Emily Fanny O'Shatter - - - Mifs DSCAMP. Villagers, &c. Ste. Colonel Raymond, before his departure for India, had been betrothed to Maria, the daughter of his old friend Sir William Freeman : after the abfence of a number of years, however, he had been reported dead, and the lady at length had been induced to give her hand, where alfo her affections bad taken deep root, to Captain Mortimer, both contradts being made with the approbation of SirUam. On the eve of the marriage th, Colonel returns, and demands the hand of Maria, which the father, in &none., finds himfelf bound to furrender to him, as does afro the unfortunate young lady. The di fficulties which fol low, form the principal inter eft of the play, particu larly of the two lag Oh, which are by far the belt : thefe are removed by the noble itruggles of the Colo nel, who at length triumphs over his feelings, and joins the hand of his favoured rival with that of his former miftrefs. This is brought about rather fud denly, but with confiderable effect. The under-plot is formed of a love affair between the fon of Sir Wil liam and a lady (Emily), whom he had confidered his inferior in birth, and therefore treated with tome un becoming condo& ; for this, Iv ever, he atones, by an ingenuous pal Eon, of whi: 4 their union is alfo the confequerice. In this piece there is fcarcely any attempt at no velty of charaCter or incident. A kind of Tom auf fief= is intended in Lounger, a Metropolitan man of loofe principles—but he makes little impreffion ; the part is, however, very well fullained by PALMER; as is that of a Country Clown by Cot.t.tms; an 1:111mian by Joa favor; and a Scotfraaa by DORMER. But as fentimental writing generally charaCterifes the piece, the principal attraCtion in the performance is with Dow rpm, as Sir Wilhelm t BARSTMORE L as the Colonel; ELLISTON, as Afortimer ; DECAMP, as TOM Freeman; Mifs Duncan, as Maria; and rs. H. Simms, as Emily. Mifs DECAMP has alto a charalter, but it is below her talents, in that of the wife of the friflunan. Indeed the attempts at wit and huaiour throughout the piece are not very fuccefsful ; it is however, in terelling as a kind of clramatifed novel, and it is likely will have a tolerable run. The Prologue, de livered by Deemer, had little to recommend it; but tome points in the Epilogue, fpoken by Mils Dun car', told very well—the had alfo a fang in the Co medy, in which the was encored. JOHN stos was paid a fimilar compliment, but it was more Oran the ditty he delivered deferved. Mifs DECAMP had like , - %site an air, hut fire did not feem in fiifficient - fpirits to give it much effect.—The mufic (agreeable enough) of thefe Tongs, is Paid to be the prodoEtion of the elder Arnold, deceafed. 111IDDIESEI SESSIONS. Yefterday Lewir Lamprede was indiaed for atfault ing Eliza Lamprede, his infant daughter, liven years old, with intent to violate her perfon. When the females had retired from Court, accor ding to order, Mr. CONST, for the profecution, obferved, that the Defendant Rood charged with a crime, at which na ture itfelf rnuf (budder ; an all - Ault. with intent to violate his own child. The Jury could only afcer tain the perpetration of the aft, from the inference to be drawn from the faits that would be hated in evi dence ; which, though beyond all he had ever feeth heard. or underftond, and the molt improbable and impoffible to his mind, he was intlruaed would be eftablithed beyond all contradiction. The defendant had been fome years married to the lady who Rood by the unhappy child (her mother), but from Come difagreement arifing between them, they had fepa rated fome time previous to this horrid tranfaftion. which occurred about the month of August laft.— They had three other younger children, two boys and a girl ; what the conduet of the parents were to each other, had nothing to do with the quellinn then before the Curl. By Tome means, the wife had been examined before the Grand Jury who found the bill; however, he admitted, (he could not be called as a witnefs before the Court. The evidence of a wife againd her hulband, in cafes of perfonal vio lence to herfelf, was admiffible, but not when a third perfon was concerned. The principal evidence would,_ therefore, be the child herfelf, the maid to whom 'the communicated the abominable dory, and Dolor Stanton, a medical gentleman of great re fpeetability, who was called in, and who, he under- Rood, was the chief means of having the bill of in diftment preferred. From thefe witneffes the fags would appear, and it would be for the Jury to coat. der, what might be the fair inference to be drawn from them. In conclufion, he confeffed, the greateft difficulty he felt in the cafe was to make the Court and Jury think fuch a thing poffible in human nature. The little girl, of a very interelling appearance, was then put upon the table, and hating fatisfied the Court of her knowledge of the tendency of an oath, in which the Paid the was irdlruaed by- her mother, the was (worn, and depofed, that her father was a jeweller, and lived in Craven-buildings, Drury-lane, and, fince their feparation, her mother refided with her grandmother, in Craven yard, oppo fi te. She was going on eight years old. Some time previous to her mother's parting from her father, the &pc with the latter, and her mother lay in a little bed. She continued to lie with her father ever once, until the difcovery of the tranfaetion in queftion. She then Rated a clear, circumßantial, and unequivocal rela tion of fads, which delicacy prevents us from re. pealing ; in which the was corroborated by Mary Egan, her father's fervant maid (who firß made the difcovery from the child herfelf,) and Dr. Stanton. She was not croft examined by the Counfel for the Defendant, and was attended, during the whole trial by her mother, a genteel intereflins looking . young woman, who appeared greatly agitated during the whole time. Mary Egan, in part of her evidence, faid, that one night her mailer Paid fomething of an improper na ture to her, which enraged her fo much, that fhe in way retaliated, by accufing him, in an indite& manner, with this unnatural crime ; and he replied, that it was all a plot and confpiracy between her, his wife, and the d—n'd old b—h of a grandmother. Mr. GURNEY made a very able and impreffive ad drefs to the Jury, on behalf of the Defendant, obferv ing, that a cafe of th s nature, in order to gain credit with them, Would be one where no fufpicion what ever could attach upon the party profecuting. This was not the preterit cafe ; differences of a very fe. dims nature had arifin between the hufband and the wife, and a feparation had taken place. They were evidently at daggers with each other ; he living in one place, and We, with her mother, reading ex aCtly oppolite, where the children had daily accefa to her. He dwelt with much fires upon the mo. ther's inflruition to her child upon the nature of an oath, the improbability of the Rory We had told, and the poffibility of fuch a confpiracy culling. Tile defendant did not call any witneffes. The Jury turned round to confult with each other without waiting for a charge from the Chairman, who was turnin3 over his notes for that purpofe, when be addrened them : 18 Gentlemen, before you confider of your verdi&, and left the fpeech of Coun fel Would have made any impreffion upon your mind, contrary to the real faits in evidence, it is neceffary that I fhould recapitulate that evidence, and that you Would reconfider it, and pads your minds tho roughly with it." He then read over the whole of the evidence, and obierved, with refpee to the competence of the child, her knowledge of the nature of an cath, and the ac count the had given, being too rational for her ten der years, it might be all very true. but it did not therefore follow that the bad not fpoken the truth; if We had told an hone ft tale, why doubt her ? but it there were any grounds to fuppole this to be a wick ed confpiracy to detiry the man, they ought to have been proved in evidence. The mere conje6ure of Counfel was not fufficient. The Jury mull not decide upon conjeiture, but upon faits. He did expeCt to have beard fome evidence relative to this confpiracy ; but there was nothing even as to his general charailer. The Jury. after a fhort confultation, defiled to hear witneffes to the defendant's charailer. Two ladies were then examined, who gave him the general charaiter of a good father ; one of them, however, never was an inmate of his honfe. To refill this evidence, the apprentice boy of the Defendant ( John Melvin) was called—he Rated as to hie tnA Iles's moral chariteter, he was enough to suit: the morals of any young lad in the world. His tetlimony upon the whole, however, did not go to attach any particular Rain upon the Defendant. The CHAIRMAN again addreffecl the Jury, and told them; there was nothing whatever in this fubfequent evidence which could alter the cafe one tittle. The evidence flood as before, uncontradieed in every point ; and as to the confpiracy, it was, he repeated, a mere conjeiture. The Jury, in a moment after, returned a verdie of Not Guilt ; which was followed by a general murmur through the Court, Wires, and other marks or dilip. probation. • ~~~
