THE NATIONAL REGISTER. ALE:. AN o Th.: peasants of the district of Orebro have e‘tu 011 ., !ced to rise en nvtsse, against their conqueror. The Puke of SIT lIEli &tNI. % , it is said, has written to them, pro bably to urge them to sub&uissioa, since resistance would be 59 utterly in vain. BuoNAeARTL, it is said, 112 S announced to the Duke of Fiuocnn.%NTA, that he NVill permit Sweden to continue her commercial in!ercourse with Englaud. Doubts, however, tre reasonably entertained as to the reality of this iutiina . tion, as well as to the dependence which must be placed Upon it if actually made.

A letter, date' Gottenbur , h, May 9, was on Friday re ceivcd by a respectable mercantile house in the city. Thoug'i we cannot %ouch for the authenticity of its con tcnts, we give the following extract, which is founded up on a report confidently belie et!, and which we hope will be contirmod by the next arrivals from the North of Carope. " lly private letters received from Konigsberg:, dated May 2, we learn, that a great battle has been fonzlit behveen the French and Austrian armies near Passau, in which MAssr.v.t (Duke of lItyou) was ccmpleiely defeated, with the loss of 60,000 men ; that the Saxons and Bava rians had gone over to the Austrian side—that the Arch duke JOHN had fallen, and that the Emperor 1 ‘pot,Eov bad been present at the battle—that 50,00;) _Austrians were in march to take Dantzic, and that the Prussians had risen en masso against the French. The loth, 1 lth, and Nth, and subsequently the 13th and 1 Ith Austrian Bulktins have arrivcd,--the three for mer we h:INT given. tin, tyro latter contain nothing but the positions of the Austrian army, which are Overtiberg, and A ltheim. The prior Bulletins would only needless!y occupy our coli:v as their sulhtanee has been repcated in every Foreign Paper which ha:: 4:rived within 1;!st weok. MAY 4 1. r • ;•:.L,,,144,-,,lP‘ The Court of Vienna has .published a heavy pamphlet is the Shape of a Altunamsto aga inst France, too tong for in section m a Nellspaper. It contains a long enumer:dion of i-rievances from the peace of Presbur , down to the period of the present rupture, the heads of which we shall con tent ourselves will, mentioning. : It is compiniued, Ist, That the articles of the Treaty of Presburg in favour of Austria, were either not carried into effect at all, or only after ar bitrary and ckadvantageous alterations, while all the con ditions favourable to France were executed to the full ex• tent within the time prescribed. 2d, That fresh contribu tions were levied after all the arrears of military requisi tions were paid, and eliects belonging to the Emperor seized, to the value of 24,000,000 florins, without making the sti pulated compensation. 3d, That a passage was peremp torily demanded by France, for her troops from the Vene, thin Slates to the Province: on the East Coast of the Adri. atic, through the Austrian territory. 4th, That the A us tt an :e ritory on the right bank of the lzonga, was re. fused to be evacuated, amid the fortress of Bram:ail to be evacuated, on the frivolous pretence of the prvcrasi bunted surrender of Catarro, for which the French Plenipoten tiaries were alone to blame. 51h, That the Gerwan Con stitution was violently overthrown, and the Emperor un justly spoiled of his dignity. The paper then proceeds lo state the strict neutrality observed by :Austria, in the war between France and Prussia, and Ins acquiescence in the peace of Tilsit, though several of the acticies, and the whole tenor of the Treaty, v, as manifestly prejudicial to her interests. Bonaparte has committed a radical, and perhaps, it may eventually prove, a fatal error, by placing his brothers and leis relatives on the thr o ne s o f so many kingdoms or coun tries. It is by no means impossible, that iu the progres4 of the . present war, he may have to r ep e nt of this p r edil ec ti on for the two families of Bonaparte and Beanharnois. Of' all to Icings, Murat is the only one who possesses any military talents, or who may be esteemed personally fit for defend ing the crowu conferred ou him. The others have no merit except that of being brothers to Napoleon, or sons of h s wife, Joseph, by the universal consent of all man kind, is a mild, quiet, unambitious, donnr;tie man, lov his vas; sad his bottle, fit for a diplomatic or a ministerial office ; but utterly destitute of talents to maintain himself On a revolutionary elevation, surrounded with dangers. It is, indeed, probable, that the Government of Barataria vva not more irksome to Sancho, than that of ~ ' pain and the Indies is to Dos Napoleon Joseph the First !--Louis, King' of Holland, is cast by nature in the gentlest mould. Deli, cient in ability for commanding armies, or iu inclination Air arms ; and a w::re that an hour ofcalamity and reverse may arrive, he has souL;ht ery possib!e means to coneiha to the nff.etiolis of his iind to tu”llify the tyranny of his brother. He may peiliaps owe his sakty and his life to this judicious and amiable line of conduct. For, even in ease of a popular insurrection of the Dutch, we believe that Louis's person would be sale from the fury of the peo ple. Jerome, though he has screed on both elements, has been distinguished on neither, N a poleon, by compellin:.; the Mike of Wirtemberg to give his daughter in marriage to this amphibious monarch. may subject him to a trial for bigamy, if in the mutability of human events, his West phalian Majesty should ever bo driven from Cassel to l'hiladelphia, as Dionysius was from Syracuse to Corinth. Such a transition is not impossible; for Jerome has neither. merit, nor resources, nor character. The Prince rieerv, otherwise Eugene Benuhornois, seems to be the worst and weakest of all Napoleon's rulers. lie, too, has married the daughter of one of the Corsican Kings; but his Step. father may perhaps repent of having entrusted the protec tion of his 46 Kingdom of Italy ? " and bis Iron Crown, to this sou of Madame Bonaparte. He appears to be utterly unfit for so arduous and perilous a station, if we may judg6 from his late defeat on the banks of the Tagliamento. It • is curious to consider, in this enumeration of Revolutionary . l'riuces, that the only individual of the Bonapartcs, dis; srio
