A pARTR, is at this tame most critical. and becoming daily more perilims. as the difficulties of N APO- I.FON ungment. little better or more secure can the tenure be esteemed, by which the other dependent Kings, created by BON APARTL, hold their preetri ,ois dignities. Muttkr must, nevertheless, be ad (mated to have earned, by his,crrtee, in the held, and by his stones in the cabinet, the elevation - to ,shich he has titillated. I;is merits and talent., though they rub:tidy would no have raised Mtn to a Crown, if he had not superadded the advan tage of au alliance unit the ►loacie of Ajsecio, yet Aare been distinguished tit event' periort of the last tam years. The massacre of Nladrid, in May, tsoa, consummated the series of his at rovirms claims oat TioNAT ARTE'S gradlt.ide JOSEPH'S transfer, bum Naples to Mu 'rid, left a throne vacant for JoActtt't. However match an object of reproba tion uml abhavrence thi. revolutionary Sovereign may Appear to the moralist, his tenure of Naples iA unalusstinsiably firmer titan that of his three bro thers-its-law, over the kingdoms of Spain, Holland, or Westphalia. Intrepid, ikilful, vigorous, active. and, like NAPOLEON, restraided by no compunc tions visititigs of conscience, MURAT well knows how to defend the post he occupies. Removed to a vast distance from the actual theatre of war, he is not liable to be overturned like JEROME, or to Ise expelled lake JOSEPH. The very incapacity, owl adm;oistratinn, prejudices, ■nd unpopularity of the .tiredion Government, maintain Jo.acatw's usurpa tion of the Neapolitan sceptre. If he fall, he will, pronald!„ fall like Rs HANN that Third, at Boa- worth ; not late Louts the or CHARLES Cue Fourth. His energies will be called nut by etiverstty, displayed in danger, mad animated by despair. If we werc to listard a conjecture. we should incline to thiolt, that whatever reverses may maned his politic it creator, Muttsr will perish the last of those whom he has raised to the diadem. The Elector of BAVARIA stands confessedly at the head of the old Princes of the second Order in Europe, whom the Coraicati has ordered to insofar a place among the first. Of him, indeed, it may with truth be ►aid, as of his predecessor, the unfor tunate Emperor, CMARLES the Seventh, horn Louis the Fifteenth e in 1741, procured to be elected Emperor of Germany ; but who, driven from iii. dominions, 150011 afterwards expiated his miubitiou in poverty, at Frankfort, where he expired— " The heti Bavaria., in a luckless hoar, Tries the dread summits of imperial power ; With unexpected legions bursts awns, And sees defenceless maims except binsway.'• Such has been the past fortune of the reigning Elector, on Vrha u I.3ONAPAIITII has heaped terri tories at the expense of the House of Austria. His futu►e destiny is inseparably linked with that of Naei►LLoN, in whose baud. Le has been madman eificieut, if not a vriluntary instrument, to humble and destroy the Emperor FRANCIS. Ilis eldest daughter, the 11.1114E/II& of the Bavarian line, has been offered up at the Cor-ieuu shrine, and married to Enuco i; BCAVlleasels; while his eldest eon, the Electoral Prince. is compelled to fight the hat ites„ and to support the enormities, of his Italian muster. who doutitlesa retains him as a hostage. for the Adelitj of his father. MAXIMILIAN Josses, the reigning Elector, is above fifty-three years of age ; mid, though dis tinguished by we talents, yet, if we except Lis sys tematic and uniform subservience to Bustarsara, might bane clusiletiged the respect of his subjects, cud the esteem of Europe. He is now chained to the same rock as Neaot.e4oll, and cannot expect to escape unpunished. if the tide of fortune or MU , tees should ever turn against the Corsican. lion alarming and critical is his present position, we may see by the latest accounts from Munich, which ' capital he and his Queen precipitately left on the 14th of June. to take refuge at the Palace of Nyin phenburg, on the road to Ratisbon. His depar ture was accelerated, or rather, no doubt, pro duced, by the advance of a body of Tyrnhans, who, entering &rani. on the west, along the moult tains extending from Hohen to Sehongau, had 114. netrated to Steinberg, scarcely thirty miles from Munich, before they were discovered. It would apt excite any surprise to (laid, that as the storm approaches, he should join the King of SAXONY at Frankfort ; a city, which, in modern ages, has been the asylum of fugitive Kings ; and where, if N ArOLSON be ever reduced to measure trick his stain front the Danube to the Rhine, or the tis:ine, we may expect to find assembled, ere long, as mini,' creamed heeds as Candide met in the inn at Venice, daring the Carnival. The direileiehed and deplorable state of the Ba varian armies, serving under BONAPAN FE. of a:e Ilia rot lees than eighty, it is admitted, desert daily from their standards. on ma average; may. how ever. he beat proved, by the expedient, to which his AAVARIAI MAJtsTy is eonspenod lei have recoirsc, in order to till up the ranks of these miserable men. The King of Biv tat a, we tied, has ordered oto flier conscription to be enforced throughout his territories. All males, to -tweet' the years of seven teen and sixty, tire to he taken. The reasons as signed fur this measure are the loss which the Bava rian regiments here sustained in fifteen engage- . inents, and the •inereivilig baldness of the Tyro.. basis. This wretched unit enslaved Monarch, dragged at the ear of NAPOLI:WI, and reduced to command, as well so to witness, the depopiilatLon of hi co...itry, may, indeed, justly regret the hour in which tie was raised to those fatal honours, by a ruthluss tyrant, whose insatiable appetite for power increases, as it is gratified.—Happily, however, such insensate and destructive ambition, how e.er fortunate hitherto, and by howevir able supports it may be long upheld, seems to carry with it, in its very &adore and rms.:lice, its own cure. The silence which h a s marked * the pe riod, since the , Itto ofJunc, is most eloepichti and bespeaks embiu-nissuient, if not distress. Ile as) form new armies of reserve on the plain of Marengo, and conscribe the Italian, as he has drum the Ger- MIA youth : But, unless victory decidedly revisit his anus, we repeat, he has committed all to hazard on the Danube. It still rein ins fur us, on a future day, to review the state of the !it XOll laud Widens bisrg Monarchs ; as well as t+,• female Sovereign of Tuscany, our Lipoid slier liliza, who dispenses blessings on the Banks of the Aron, as Napalms the Great does on those of the Seine. The cmbarkat,iou of the troops at Portsmouth was completed on Moisil.ty. The naval part of the Expedition at that par• has been ready fur some days, but the Staff had not ktiiie on board on Mon day, nor was any movement med.., althongh the wind was fair for the Downs. It war thought, per haps, unnecessary to move, until the embarkation was nearly completed iii the tither points; and that at Ramsgate will probably not be finished before this day, as the cavalry did not begin to em bark there until yesterday. Of the ships of the line, in the grand Expedi• tom, a number are without troops, and there it is of course supposed are to be eugaged w tit• ordi nary naval warfare, which could nut be carried on with a number of soldiers on hoard, without ex posing them to a dreadful carnage.

These; bring intelligence of the nroceed ings of Congress, with the accounts of the Arms, and of the Finances. laid before that Assembly by the respective Ministers in those departments. Among the principal causes of dispate with the Repub lican Governoieut has been, that fraudulent prone ' firma were obtained by foreigners in the character of American vermeil. Mr. DANA had presente I a Bill to avoid this abuse; and, as a further measure of coin &talon towards Great Briteui, he proposed to require security of the Masters of American sec rete, that they will not enter any port declared to be in a state of blockade. Advices have been received, that on the 17th of lust mouth, Generil SUCHET attacked General BLAKL, near Saragossa. After a severe conflict, the latter retreated to Aguilar Belthite, where, on the lath, he was again attacked, and was a second time defeated with match loos.
