The accounts from Bavaria are very contradidory : the letters from Auglburgh late, that General Anozsoss:, on palling through Brannan, announced to the troops in that garrifon, that they were to hold themfelves in readinefs to evacuate that fortrefs ; while, on the contrary, the letters from Stutgard mention, that the French were tranfporting their magazines of batik to that town. The French do not appear much difpofed to retire from the Empire. Avesta au has hired a boufe for the rummer, in the vicinity of Frankfort ; many of the Officers belonging to his army have been joined by their families ; and there is every appearance, that it is not their intention, fpeedily, to ralinquifis the com• fortable quarters in which they are ellabliffied. The new Conititution for Holland has not yet been promulgated. The Members of the Govern meat were affembled at the Houfe in the Wood, on the adth ult. where the plan brought from Paris the preceding evening by Fearer, the Adjutant of Admiral Vsewsus, was fabmitted to them for the porpofe of receiving their final determination. As foon as they had fignifled their concurrence. of which little doubt was entertained, it was fuppofed the New Conftimtion would be again fent back to Paris for the acceptance of King Louts, and the guarantee of NA►ocsoN. The Paris papers contain intelligence from Naples of the gth ult. but they are filent refpethng the pro grefs which has been made in the liege of Gaeta.— !Gag Joserx was to make his triumphal entry into Naples on the tomb of month. Some hundreds of difaffeeled Neapolitans were fent off to Piedmont; no vc t y conviacing proof of that general and entbufiallic u.ith which the new Monarch was Paid to be every :eccived. 1 eflerday afternoon arrived at the houfe of Mr. Ni sacs., Portman-fquare, the Right Honourable the Earl of ELGIN, the Right Hon. the Earl of YAR MOUTH, and two Eons of the late General Astra camas's, having been releafed from their captivity in France. The Cartel which brought the above Noble Perfonages, is alto Paid to have brought ad vices of a Pacific Nature, and frefh Overtures from BoAAAAATS t but to this rumour, we attach very :Jule credit. The Britifb Refident at Perlang (Sumatra) lately fcized a Native Chief, named Marra Bnogfoo, tinder f trifling charge, and fent him by fea for trial at fiencoolen. Boogfoo was taken on his ;mirage by a French privateer,and carried to Batavia,from whence :le fent to Calcutta a report of 11', cafe. The Gover .,•n Genera], after a careful inquiry, ordered the in , , •ed Ciiief to be recondutied to Pedang, and reins sorted to the full amount of the lots he had futtained. Tn there obfervations, Sir JOHN NEWPORT nodded affent. Mr. WESTON expreffed his readinefs to give t•, Ireland every boon and advantage not &finally in continent with the fair interent of Great Britain ; and obferved, that although fo much had not been grant ed as was fought, about two years Gine, yet he be lieved that what had then been granted, had been of eonfiderable advantage to Ireland. He did sot at prefent fee any oblation to the propofed meafure, particularly if under the regulations and reftrietions ruggetted by the Right Honourable Gentleman who hdd juft fat down ; but he hoped it would be con& dered as a boon to Ireland. qi- TOHN NEWPORT was ready to admit, that what had been already done for Ireland nn thi. head, bad been of mutual advantage to both countries, and of as much to this as to Ireland : the great exporting grain from this country to Ireland ins barley ; of which, in the lea year, the quantity was t 10,000 . quarters : and the principal grain exported from Ireland to England and Scotland was oats, of which the quantity was very great indeed, beyond the Cup ply afforded by their own produce for their neceffary confumption, and, therefore, the interchange of the& grains alone would be a eonfiderable aecom amiefition to the agriculture and eonfamption of both nazi ;las. He was very willing thankfully to acknow ledge. on the part of Ireland, any boon conferred by this country ; bur, at the fame time. it mutt not be forgotten, that every loch boon fo conferred upon the mricultore of Ireland, was given to the bed coftomer this country had in Europe for her menu. failure.. Mr. FOSTER begged leave to add a few words, in order to afcertain beyond roirconeeption the objeft he had in view. In the way of the fuggeflion he had propofed, and which he underftood was admitted, there were certainly difficultie;, bit not infurmnunt able noes. The average prices of corn in Ireland, by which its export and import were to be regulated, could be communicated to every nut port in the _kingdom in five days after quarter day. Nearly the fame expediti,n could be obtained in a Timilar com munication to the out-ports of Great Britain, with yelped to the average prices there : but in placing both countries mutually under the fame regulations, a long delay mull heceffarily occur. Much of the difficulty, however, would be removed by confulting the aid of experienced and praetical men, which might be done dining the progrefs of the Bill. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON raid a few words in approbation of the mealure ; after which Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved, that the Chair man be intiruded to move the Houfe for leave to bring in a Bill; which was agreed to. Reported forthwith, and leave given, to bring in the Bill.—Adjourned. LONDON. MARICLANL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 6.

The seeotmt which we gave of the fate of this pl iant Officer has excited doubts, if not in the mind, at leatt in the pages of Come of our brother journey lifts. Some of them, however, have infifted only on the quotation, which we gave from a late wri -rt the keret hiftory of the French Government, boa have takei.so notice of the proofs which our Readers will recollesa we pee from err own hareokdge. Indifferent as we are to the applisofe or cenfitre of our venal adverfaries, we think it ur duty to main tain our affertions when they are contralided. By tine paper it has been roundly afferted that the ac count of Captain WRIGHT is written by the Author of the letter attributed to Admiral VI PLIINt five. On this we (hall only obferre, that the writer of the pa ragraph knew that he was guilty of the molt flagi tious falfehood. It will be recollelled that we laid confiderable ftrefs on the proof derived from nor own fou• ce of information.

But we fhrewdly fufpcit that this I doughty champion is not a very violent opto tent of the great Corlican hero. He offers a palliative for the murder of Captain WRIGHT (we Ica; cely think I h e means to deny the murder), by the charge that he landed Come emigrants, who were to alfalli nate Boo rt. Can devotion to the cattle of an enemy go farther than to cenfure the conduiff of a brave officer, who without fecret deign or interefted mo tives, in the difcharge of his profeffional duty, openly landed paffengers on the coati of France ? If fuch fentinaents were common to our brother journalifts, we fliould be afhamed of our profeffion ; " We'd not march with the rogues through Coventry, that's flat !" The letter inferted in our Paper of Friday from Capt tin WRIGHT hints at the treatment. u hicli he was ref !ved to bear, however great or multiplied,' but mh;ch he could not yet have experienced. One exprsffion in it our Readers will have noticed, as a ftrong corroboration of what we obferved in the French account of his death. He fays that he has fubfcribed to the Mesiterr, but without paying alters• tion to its fatales or its im4se4ess. Yet he is Paid to haws deftroyed liimfelf on reading, a+ in the Mosireur," the account of the defeat .of the Auftrians at Ulm l Abfutdity upon abfurdity flafhes on the eyes of the .

Wednefday, being the lit tro's birth-day, the mili tary and various volunteer corps of Chatham and Ro chaer were drawn out in order to do honour to the day, by going thro' the ufual demontirations of mili tary parade. A very lerinus arid nearly fatal accident happened to two artillerymen stationed at one of the guns, who having, in loasling, placed the wrong end of the cartridge first in the muzzle, were en deavouring to draw it our with the wad-hook, while they were exerting themfelees for that purpofe the powder exploded from Come unknown caufe, by which accident one of the men was blown into the ditch, and h.id his hands In leveret y lacerated by the powder and the wad-hook, that it is fuppoled he will never fully rce , ver the ufe of them ; he was otherwise much uifeti and burnt: the other man was fr much ex. poled to the attion of the powder, that his clothes were fcorched and torn to pieces, and he was fo completely ingrained with the powder which had forced its way into his AA, from his ancle to his (boulder, that his whole fide appeared one conti nued wound, and the pungent quality of the faltpetre continually :idling on the nerves, caufes the fituatioo of this untortur.ate man, to be one of unceafmg and moll excruciating torment : both the men, however, we hear are likely to recover. There being no fire near the gun at the time which could in any poffible way communicate with the cartridge, the accident is fuppofid to have b:en occafioned by means of loofe gravel, or grains of land having been accidentally in troduced into the gun, againd which the iron worm of the wad hook coining in contaft, the collition pro duced a (park which communicated to the powder.
