FRENrH and DeTeo PAPres arrived in town tb .:.orniiig. They merely contain reports of Insoles of Etiv:rstloi If and Wagram, received 3, 1 the Ciilfedo. awl kingly Allies of NAPOLEON. • .if• article of Esiimgon, it is stated, that " this • • • one of the most sired triumphs ' : ' th. , Emperor NAPOLLON ever obtained." LT r iy be the ultimate issue of the wpr • ...n France and Austria, the most decided k tiveterate enemy of this extraordinary man, r withhold from hi:n u a consummate min ter/ charm to., the most unqualified applause. letiorant as we arc of the art military, we are at a loss to cons, rehead the grounds of the tactics on whic't the Ar nv of tie A acaousse is stated in the T. enty-firth French Bulletin to have been too nuu‘er us and iinwiel ly to undertake offensive /spree ifint. This requires explanation—for our own part wt. can only conceive it to apply to the nature• ~f that army of 200,000 men, which the ARCHDUKE had under his command, of which so large a proportion was militia and fenciblus—raw on *hose adroitness and steadiness ao reliance could be placed. If the Austrian .A i my were of such unwieldy magnitude., why nut attempt the destruction of the French works by that reiteration of attack which has so repeat e dly insured to the French ultimate, sugsiess Admit. tiug a sacrifi a of fifty thousand inen...finally to have repulsed the French, would have been cheaply purchased at such a rate. It is clear, fro-n the 25th Bulletin, that the Austrians retired in the face of an enemy, who did not ininiediattly pursue, bet rested all night on his arms...lt is also clear, that the pattetratlJa of the centre was not productive of irreparable lass in the battle of Wagram, any more than its th it of Essling, where the same bet is recorded... It is also clear, that of 800 pieces of Austrian ar. t.Pery, the French only claim the capture of one. twentioth part. And it is also clear, from the orc uiag of the Twenty.elath Blllletin, that unlit Cie following day the Frauds did not discover that they had gained a decisive victory. Until t e Austrian amount shall be received, we must remain ignorant of the future plans of the AacitaUti ; but, whatever may have bums the loss or the Fresich, they have anoceeded.—They determined to attempt the passage of the Danube that they hate succeeded...they resolved Its dislodge the A RCHDUKE.—itt that too they bare serc.redell. The Archduke Cuanr.Ec has re treated on the same road by which he entered Moravia, after having crossed the Danube...and until alsices are received of the final direction of I , i• cm, , it must remain uncertain whether he moves directly north upon Prague, or wins west. ward upuu Budweis, to regaia the Danube. NA - ZOLEON +.l'l:. is a greater loss at Wagrant than a Essling ; ttitl if his actual lON bears iu this in. stance the sane proportion that it did in that, it must nave weakeued his army prodigiously.

What is the reason that so many of the Papers ore Edßd with columns of *bows egged Colonel Witsot.a and Mr. Coaarrri This ques tion, we venture to affirm, has been asked daily for 'onus weeks by many thousands throughout the United Kingdom. Colonel WARDLE is *used, or abanduued by almost every Daily Print ; aor does Mr. CORIRTT seam more greatly favoured. But a few weeks ago Addresses of Thanks and Congratulations poured in upon Colonel Wannt.e I from every side, nor were the Public deficient in entertaining a due sense of the integrity and abi. lity with which Mr. Conan exposed, and gave currency to the discoveries made by the efforts of Cul. W. For what was Col. W. thanked ? For instituting and persevering in that investigation, which brought tonight certain transactions, deemed by the people of the United Kingdom highly pre. judicial to their interests. But it seems that • discovery has been made, by which Wood WAants is to be hurl. (I from that proud emi. neoce on which he h•s been placed by the voice of the people.—To those who know not the fact, it will natually be presumed that this disco. very is no less than that of the falsehood of the accusation on which the Inquiry in the House of Commo►►s was grounded. Bet what can the pas. pie of the United Kingdom thick of the attempt to hunt down the popularity of Col. WAsous, when they reflect on the truly Indieroes argot. Incurs, as they are sagely termed, on which this puny effort rests ? That to drag forth to public view, practical distractive of the interests and happiness of the people of England, Colonel WARDLE, not only in defiance of the intimidating frowns of power, persevered with a degree of firmness and an intensity of labour almost unpa. ralldled in the prosecution of the Inquiry, bet even has submitted to great pecuniary sacrifices to accomplish that—fur which he has received the I thanks of the people of England. This is the actual substance of the accusation against Colonel WAaDLE by the parties who (rem. bye at his influence and exertions. The Ministerial Prints leave uu ctfort untried ; no pit uf filthy scandal unesplural; no depth of absurdity and contradiction unfethomed, to accomplish the grand object, namely, TO SMOTHER ALL FUR THER INQUIRY INTO PUBLIC CORRUP TION AND ABUSES. This is the true source of the violent and unprecedented effort that is now alialtiig against Colonel Waal:its and Mr. Cosner,. To put down those powerful advocates of the People of the United Kingdom, is the grand object; and it is lilting that the public should not be kept in ignorance of a fact of no lass impor ,tance—tluit in this attempt, the Whigs—that party of which the Talent: profess them ,seams—are the loud and active coadjutors... U Mr. Cont?? who is, as may be perceived from the manly freedom of his writings, no lawyer— has, in strictness of law committed an error, a Jury of the Country apportions the compensation which he shall make to that injured party This trial of Mr. CoBBETT was announced with a pomp of anticipation most whimsically ludicrous ; and that which would un any other occasion have been comprised in half a dozen lines, is dilated and extenuated to almost as many columns--as the accoant of that important trial, which is to form one of the grand features of Mr. Coaorres ex tinctiln. On the subject of this teiar—oe take the fact to be, that Mr. Consort, having a re. fractory servant, who ran away---dispatched two officers to take him into custody, from whom he escaped, being abetted by the mother mid bro. ther, who were then detained in the hive of re claiming the boy. Fur this error of judgment, ass avinn at law is brought against Mr. Cos. as. rr, and the mighty triumph of 101. in damages obtained. The Plaintiff in this memorable action sued in forma peeped:. That this species of action is the glory of the English law, we are amongst the first to admit—nor can we avoid congratulating the Plaintiff on the facility with which he obtained the truly zealous assistance of two Gentleomo uf very considerable eminence on that Circuit. It is must important that the two grand parties—the Ins and the Outs—the Vigour and the Talents-- shoold get not only Col. Walt or.x and Mr. Coy mit, lout also Mr. WiIIETBRISAD, Sir F. BURDETT, Lord focsEsTosis, Mr. MADoCiEs, and the other Members of the peat lot, independent band out of faionr with the public. But the good sense of the thinking part of the people of England will ef. fecteally preserve them against the childish es* ri diculous efforts with which all these Geritimisist haw, in their turns been assailed. The people of England must perceive that ultimately, in spite of all the efforts of power, place, passion, and corruption, the exertions of inch men as we have mentioned, must produce great practical good to the mess of society in the Milted Kingdom. To the abase of Col. Walt- DLit %Mr. Cillissirr. Arr. is owe short reply— ANS R THE ATRJ4ENTI; OF THE ONE 'N THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, AND OF TRH OTHER IN THE POLITI. CAL REGISTER.. FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS• Emmett, Jtrve 10.—At seven o'clock this cassias arrived here Lieut.. Colonel Count Berol. dingee, his Majesty's Aid-de-eamp, dispatched by kis Majesty the Emperor and King, to bring in trill/mice of the total defeat of the Austrian army, under the Archduke Charles. After the intrenched village of Enzcrdorf had been carried by assault on the sth instant, and the left wing of the Austrian army, as well as the greatest part of the intrenchments turned, a vio la cannonade commenced on the 6th at break of Ilk; about two o'clock in the afternoon all the lintrenched villages were taken, and one of the enemy's columns, which advanced from Aspern to attack the left wing of the French army, was cut elf, and the enemy retreated on all sides. The number of prisoners and pieces of ord nance taken was not yet ascertained at the time of Count Reroldingen's departure, because the respective relates had not then all bees re. ceived, but it must be very considerable, and the consequences of this vidergoose if the most .iL triumphs which the Emperor Napoleon ever oh. gained, are beyond calculation. At the time when the Count Beroldingen hit the Imperial heed-quarters,they were at Deetseb-Agmte, where, on the preceding day, were these of the Arch. duke Charles. The Artrians are retreating in the direction of Brutus, being tut off bowl Inn gary.—(Royei Amsterdam Courant of Jody its. ) CAMEL, JULY I.—The following Belleffee have bees published in this place 66 DRUIDIC:II, JULYI.—The Austrians, who of 1 the beginning of the invasion observed the strictest discipline, and whose whole conduct was comspi.' cuous for regularity and moderation, on their flight at once unmasked themselves. lo Lelemie they demanded • heavy contribution, bat were prevented from levying it by the sudden arrival of Gcseral D'Albiguac front Madre ; they carried off twenty waggons laden with pictures, precious ar ticles, &c. ac." Dessnes, JULY 4.—His Majesty left this city at eight o'clock this morning ; his headquarters will this evening be established at Friedberg. Colonel Thielinan marched yesterday from hence with all the Saxon troops and a Westphalian re giment, towards Peterwahl. The Austrians have retreated into Bohemia, with the exception of the :;orps commanded by the Duke of Brimswick Oels, which -has marched from Zevickau to Reichenbach, probably with the intention of at tacking Hoff." PART!, JULY 11.—The attack of Montjoui, which may be considered as the citadel of Geru. us, has commenced after the taking of the three redoubts which defended it. Notwithstanding the difficulties of the ground, which is etery where a bird rock, sod necessarily retarded the operations, it lottery °florists was, on the 25th, in a state to us. Two other batteries of cannon began to fire on the *6th, and continued vigorously to batter the breech. A violent storm, which took plans on ,the 29th, followed by several others, and eats. need rains, have retarded the completion Hitt works ; but is expected, that by the lith of at the latest, all the batteries wilt be nuke to fire, sad it is probable then that within twice 24 hours a practicable breach will boeffeeted, and the capture of the place mint speedily follow by surrender or otherwise. Menijoni, eMt. ls our possession, Gerona may be Md di taken, and this is the opinion of the Ilimoiore themselves, as is sufficiently proved by lam s which the besieged endeavoured to convey to their General in Chief, Blake, and which have been Intercepted by our 'dewed poste. They solicit the succour which he is enable to give, as may be seen by the Report addressed to his Excellency the Minister at War, Suchet, Commander in Chief ei the 3d corps in Arragon. NAPLICS, JULY I.—The appearance of the Anglo-Sicilian fleet, has afforded the Neapolitans an opportunity of manifesting more and more the good disposition which animates them ; them reigns is the Capital such security, such cots.. deuce, that although the enemy is at Its pees, ma although he occupies the western toad ottiaples,tbo public walks, even on the sea shore, are as much frequented as they could be in the midst of the most profound peace. The lower classes show this patriotism whit the others,--That which segmented above ail the sea *era! cesifidence, was the circumstance of wales the Queen, at the very moment when, only a few toises from the coast, the English squadron en gaged osm frigate, the Ceres, calmly promenade the share with the Royal Family. This sight, fee. qnently offered to the public, confirmed is it more and more the feeling of perfect smithy. The enemy is still in the same position, end in the same state of Inactivity t our brave fellows des pair of seeing him lead ; the ardour of our troops lx such, that the regiment of Latour d'Aarigne. and the 10th French regiment of the line, not. withstanding the Illideutties of the road, and the emissive heat which has woad, performed is. ens Jay a marsh of forty mile', in the fear of not seriehvg in time for the first attlek. The fort of Ischia, with its little garrison, opposes a vigorous resistance to the enemy. .The nation has no doubt that General Culonna, Mho com mands it, will, on this occasion, maiutain the ho. nom of his ancestors. M. Bausan, Captain of the Ceres, has been ap pointed Captain de Vaisseau, and Commander of the Royal Order of the Two Sicilies, as a reward fur the bravery and skill with which he sustained the glorious action of the 517th ult. . All the WS. cers of the frigate have been promoted. In consequence of the orders of the General Partouneux marched from Calabria, with a part of the forces under his command, to prevent a debarkation, which the enemy's fleet by its ma. neutres appeactd to wish to make in the Gulf of Pulicastro.
