9•__ THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, FRIDAY, Novimeta 29. BONAPARTE's EATING' INTO VIENNA, A A 1) DEATH OF THE ARCHDUKE CHARLES. The lontexpefted Paris Papers have at length arrived.—They are to the 42d instant, and contain an account of the military operations in Germany, to the 10th inclusive. These are given is a series of Bulletins of the grand army, consisting of the 16th, 17th, 23th, and 21st ; the 18th and Igh not having arrived in course. The Paris Papers receiv ed on Sunday, the 17th inst left Prince Muar.e, with his division, at Haag, after having overtaken the rearguard of the Austrian Army at Ried, and made 500 prisoners. General Da*MJST'S corps, following the course of Muaar, had taken a positinn at a short distance, in his rear. The main force of the French Army was carried in the same di realen, with a view to turn the right of the Amite-Russian Army. which had fallen back upon Lints, while its left extended itself to wards the Carinthian frostier, for the purpose of maintaining a communication with the Archduke CilArLis in his retreat from Italy. From the six teenth Bulletin, dated Riad, Nov. 2, it apple" that the Austrian army, continuing to fall back. Prince Murat in pursuit of it, entered Lambach on the 31st. The corps of Marshal Snows . , arrived at Wels, and that of Largess, at Lints, on the etaning of the 2d. A division under Prince Mum/a, joined at Lintz on the same day, having defeated a Russian corps, consisting of eight battalions, that advanced to cover the retreat df the Austrians to Lambach, on the 31st. The teth Bulletin, whiclt is dated the 7th Nov. stares, that a battle was fought at Amstetten, in which the Russians were engaged, and the French took 1,800 prisoners. The Bulletins of the 38th and 19th not having arrived, what passed in the interval between that and the 2d can only he matter of conjeaure. This is a very material defed in the detail. BONAPAITZ conquered at Ulm, by turning the right of the enemy, and we have al ready stated, that in his pursuit of the Austrian army. he constantly a,ted upon the same system, while the Austrians as constantly fell back to evade it. For this purpose, the corps of Mimi.? and Lallots, joined at Lintz, on the 2d; and, as no mention is made of a battle there, we may presume, that the Amtro-Russian army had previously retreated be hind the Enna. The passage of this river was sharply contested; but. whether by a small or a great part of the Austro-Rassia' a army, we do not know, nor is the extent of the loss on either side mentioned. Arnstetten, where the 1000 prisoners were made, is at a considerable distaste beyond the Sans, upon the high road to Vienna. In the mean time, Mar shal DAVOUST, who bad advanced by Stem, bad timed the left wing of the Austro.llttsslan army. and was advancing from Liberfeldt, to Vienna, upon the bigh road. A part of the Austrian army, un der the command of General Maser. ate. r. at tempted to interrupt his progress, and to cover that city. The result was a battle on the Bth of No vember, in which the 21st bulletin states, the die Austrians were defeated with the lose of 0010 pri soners, and It; pieces of cannon. On the same day Prince MURAT had arrived at St. Hyping. and sent General 811ASTIAllt towards Ifiesns. The right wing of the Preach army. under General hi •IttslollT, was at Leebea, Oa the lOtk, probably fee the purpose of cuttisg elf the esstomieaties via the army of the Archiske Cases= I mod Imam& quarters of the Praia army were admired so the same day to Moelk, on the high road to Vienna. All the Court, except the Enrages% had quilled that capital, and the Russian army bed pared the Danube, and retreated to Krems, on the soothers side of that river. Such is the substance of the se veral Bulletins of the Grand Army, published in the French Papers. The Paris Papers, however. carry the intelligence from Germany much lower,and state, that Boss AT THIS ILIAD or '22,000 1 1111, AND THAT TR& ARCH DUX& CH ARLES HAD 0110 111t011 LZCZIS Or f•TIGUI. The former part of this statement cannot be corm& as the 21st Bulletin represents Bomar A art at Moelk on that day, but if the view of affairs given by the French Papers approaches to teeth, it is an event that may be presumed to have taken place about the 12th. Vienna is not a strong place, capable of defence ; and if, as the French Papers assert, the Russians had retreated to Kr-ms, and the Austrian army, under hiccar scot, which attempted to cover that city, was defeated by Gen. Davousy, its fall was a matter of course. It was, we believe, a general npini ,n, that the Ai:um-Russian army, which was alai:y increasing in its retrograde movement, woes have made a great stand to cover Vienna, a . great distance from that city, if not under its walls. Every previous account had Ards, is, c4nt blood nron, army. in who Bou the most of all hay* raring urope in duced i bops that, bn the 10th, a tannin bee been strong enough to contest the palm with the enemy. We do not, however. find my tame of a grand battle in the French Bonitos baye reached us, and cannot camels , . that do Res sians would have commenced their rarest with. out striking one great blow for lemme. There being a chasm in the sending. we *Mot speak with certainty upon this palm. It may also be drged as an argument against ditereedeney, that the capture of Vienna is not decisive of the war ; and that Rome, thoegb sacked by die Gauls, sur vived to become the niisttess of the world. Bat it cannot be disguised, that the captured the capital,. as the seat of government, and of so much of the wealth and population of a county, is, thebgh it may be destitute of artificial defame% of the lest importance ; and we fear that there is Mt 'any in Austria to bear up against so great a stroke. The death of the Archduke CllAtutst a Commander as much beloved by the Austrians, as our great and lamented Nacsos was dear to every Briton, it silo, we fear, an event too probable. His constitution was, naturally, very delicate, and had been Mauch debilitated by a series of illness. The Paris papers add. that then disasters had preyed decisive ef the _ . war, and that a Congress *as to be immediately opened at Munich, for the pima. of negociating a peace. A Merrikur is said to have been received, which states, that the Emperor of Czar atsT had made a proposition for that purpose; to which Bo st AAAAA 2 answered—" When the Emperor of the Fasrcn shall have taken possession of Vienna, but not before that period, will be treat with the Emperor of GILIIIANY for the restoration of peace." We have extradted from a French Paper, a Sketch of the previous part of the Campaign in Germany, which, combined with the extras Porn the French Papers, received yesterday, gives a satislaaory view of tht whole, up to the 10th instant. Never, perhaps, were so many military operations and movements executed in so short a space of time. The French Papers also notice the late battle of Trafalgar. The Momitter states, that it lasted three days and nights ; that several ships belonging to both fleets were destroyed, and that the rest had stood away to sea, to rep ,ir th,lr damages ! It says nothing about the Co:ll,)intd acct. having sustained a defeat. Mr. PITT'S health has bee* very betriferest lately. Ile it under a COW'S* ef mciitinit.

The 37th Regiment of Foot (in that island), con sisting of 600 men, had been very healthy through the season. The letter, above alluded to, was brought to Glasgow by the Gicerroee Pietism. There was no Captain of the Fleet, as is usual in so large a fleet, on board the Ad mir il's ship, in the battle of Trafalgar.

At the conclusion of the play, Mr. Russaa.t. came forward, and said, that. is consequence of the sudden indisposition of Mr. BeNNxsrsa, the farce of The Weathercock could not be performed ; that hand-bills had bus distributed. announcing the change to The Lhieg rad ; butt if any of the autlence had not bees apprised, the Proprietors solicited their indulgence.

Yeeterday forenoon, a Gentleman driving his eateide down Fleet-street, a waggon came in con tad with one of the wheels : the Gentleman and his servant were both thrown out, but did not receive any material injury. A singular and awful visitation occurred a few days ago at Hebden-Bridge, near Halifax. As the corpse of the wife of a - labouring man lay in the co En, previous to interment, the afflicted husband drew near to take his lust farewell—he suddenly dropped down, and, before medical assistance could be procured, expired. On Tuesday night, at eight o'clock. an alarming fire broke oat at Mr. A s 's, Bookseller, Corn hill ; which, owing to the presence of mind of his eldest daughter, shutting the door, and confining the Barnes, and the great exertions of his neighbours and the firemen, was got under, after having totally destroyed the bed-room and all the furniture. The cause of this accident was the shameful neglea of the servant, who, in turaing down the bed. set fire to the furniture.

The Plaintiff, i.. this CA ie. is pryp►mt.l estate And corn-mills at Merton, in Surrey, Defendant is his lest e a :,orti. 7 : of la, called Brewer's-mead and 1.,i , t1e-niead, which • 'en.•tended to have a tight of watering by iii.a/1.1 • 3 pipes, drawn from ti.e water of the, rivet Wave flowing through the et-un--nig* of the Plaintiff Is September. 1304, the Defendant drew off tarps quantities of water, from what he termed the sur plus of that applied to the Plaint:ff's mills, after the water came to a cereaia height. The finding this drain detrimental to his property in the mills, and injurious to the supply ..f the public • markets; and considering also, that he had no right to do so. either from usage, or agreement, filed a bill in Chancery against hiM, and ohtaine-f au in. jan.lion against his drawing off water from the three sluices. until the qnestion of right. at issue between them, should be decided. The Defendant then, after taking upwards cf twelvemonth , to make in quiries. at last brought in his an%veer ; and, this day, applied to have the injunCtion dissolved, uonn affi davits, that he believed he bad a right to draw off this water from immemorial usage, and firim what he colleeted to be the opinion of several old inhabit ants. In reply to this, several contradidaty affida vits were urged on behalf - of the Plaintiff, and a lease was exhibited, by which the risk of the lessee was restricted to a tingle sluice. After the case had been argued at great length, in suporirt of the injunCtion, by Messrs. ROMILLY and We r wzawee. and on kilt other side, by the Ar- TORNLY•GESEII AL and Mr. RICH sips. The Loa!) CH •31c Lccoa said, shit the principal difficulty Arnie from the ownership of the mills. and the grounds through which the river or st - flowed, being in the same person As to the infer . memorial usage, he thought it very doubtful whe ther it could have existed in the tenant; as, insteei of being confirmed by the lease then before the Court, the quantity of water was remitted by it. It was, however, impossible for him to decide at present on which side the justice of the case really lay. If the Defendant had done what he had no right to do, and what could be sheen detrimental to the pro. petty, and injurious to the right of the Plaintiff, perhaps a short remedy might have been had, in another place, by an attion of damag.s; but be could not say that he was so good a judge of these matters, as to state that with confid., , co. As the case now stood, he was not sure that it %souls' he sti,Ct justice, either to dissolve the quahog, or order it to be continued, till the case could be de termined in that Court ; but what he recommendedl to the Arroassv-Gatiza•L was, to shape for his client, the Defendant, a short issue, to be tried else where, reserving to the one, the charaeter of as owner, and to the other, that of a lessee, but coat fining it to this particular question. In the mean time, the initinaion should be continued until Lb.% issue should be determined. pronouncing judgment of the Court, spoke nearly as follows ; " You, Evelyn Pierrepoint Dormer, are to receive the judgment of the Court, npoo an information filed against you, for sending a challenge to Robert Knight, Esq. of which you have confessed your self F lrilty. The letter on which you have been consofted, discloses, that you ate brother to the Pro secutor's wife. Had you been put upon your trial, of the import and parpose of this letter, a jury could not entertain the slightest doubt, nor could the Court be mistaken in your meaning. But if any doubt remained upon your fint letter, the set cond puts it out of all question ; you there desire* the Court may be informed of your present opinions of his being a coward, a liar, and a scoundrel. You here confessed your real intention was to vilify and • defame the Prosecutor, to treat the Court with cam tempt, and defeat the ends of justice. No other exposition can be put upon those words. Let me, for a moment, contemplate upon what was your real intention in writing those letters ; to take away the life of your sister's husband, and to embrue your hands in your brother's blood. Although this may be consistent with the mistaken laws of honour, it is totally adverse to the law of the land ; and bad your intention been put into practice, and the fatal consequences followed, how dreadful would it have been, when you should stand on the floor of another Court, to receive the awful sentence of the law, for a foul and sanguinary murder. It is much to be lamented, that the great pains taken by the Court, to make known, and explain the law of the land upon this subjeff, has been so disregarded.— In addressing you, as a man of sense and education, I should have supposed this was not unknown to you, and this is a further aggravation of your of fence. Had your brother fallen a vi Lim to your unruly passions, how dreadful would be your situ ation when you were brought up to receive sentence for so horrible a crime; this your own feelings can best describe ; and here I cannot impress too strongly upon your mind, the mercy, humility, and propriety of the Prosecutor, who, instead of corn. plying with your invitation to the field, has left you to the decision of the law of the land, against whisk • j you have so studiously and violently offended. That law will make no delay, in visiting with the greatest severity, persons who, like yourself, bid defiance to a Coon of Justice. We are sorry to find, in this case. no circumstances of mitigation ; your affidavit contains mouses upon eircumsta ices, which you say, the delicate situation in which you are placed. renders you unable to disclose; of such surmises, the Court can take no notice, and must entirely banish them out of their con ideration. Taking. therefore. all the circumstances of your ease into our consider Aims, the Court do order and adjudge, that you, for this offence, do pay a fine of SOL to the King, and be committed to the custody of the • Marshall of the Manhalseu of th s Court. for 1.111 space of three calendar months, and at the empire.
