■ I I FR.4IICE AND AdirßlA. -.~.-- . All those who are accustomed ,to reflect on the elehtiely of minims, and to comiider the apparently minute causer, by which the teed, hapertaut pests are often produced, will fi nd, in the' Present state of Europe, end particularly of Certainty. ample ebb ject for speculatien. The machinery of Bee APART[, however admirably framed, has evidently failed in producing all the results to have been expected hum it. After an Armistice of two months, it is übviuus, that he can neither dictate peace, on his owe tense. to the Horse of Austria; our has lie yet thought proper to have recourse again to urine. flow are we to account for this pause on his part ? No man will doubt his 1111Y101.6 desire to termlivate th e war ea the Danube, end to transfer his arms to the west of Europe ; still less can it be questioned, that he would act, iu lea% at Altenburg. as lie did itslBos, at Freeburg, mid in 1807. at 'Tilsit ; if he possessed the same means of iutiusidetion es he thee had acquired. Can it be *imposed, eves by those who regard the power of Austria as utterly unequal to mainaim the Mutest, that if her resoueces were so exhausted, N APOLLO'S would not long since have resumed offensive operations ? Dues Hoy per son believe that his moderation impels him to pre fer negotiation to wet ? Nu! however apparently victorious, Ins position is nevertheless delicate, criti cal, and liable ..o reverses. He doubtless stands ill en imposing attitude, master of a great purtinii of the Austrian Monarchy ; of its only ports, Trioite awl Fiume ; of the course of the Hatiubt, from Passau to Raab, in Ilungstry ; and of Vienna. But vast means of resistance, as we have always es,erted, still remain to FRANCIS ; nor can the Corsican quit ienne, in order to penetrate into Bohemia, with out exposing himselfto accidents, and eveo to at tacks. It is indisputable, that if our incipuble Se. eretstriee of State—for, cm man coieaders the other ostensible aseusbers of the British Cabinet, as having' any participatioa or active interference iu the coo-, duct of foreigu concerns; it is beyond dispute, et present, that if Lord CAIIILSREAGRI and Mr. CAN. NING, instead of building castles in Spain and Maples., had choern to direct the unities of Creat Britain agaiiist srsaec in Oerinauy, he must, long ago, have brew compelled to abandon Schoeu brown, and, probably, to evacuate all Ins conquests eu the Danube. If, without any interference or exertion, except the unfortunate expedition to ‘Valcheren, we find that FRANCIS 11. still continues to negotiate with arms in his hands ; if, notwith standing our virtual abandonment of Austria, Bo- NAPARTS has not hitherto dared to proceed to the last extremities against her t what might not have ' been achieved, if, while one British army landed at Trieste, another, loured of being sent to reduce Walcheren, had entered the Elbe, or the Weser, is July? Can greater and more palpable proofs of ittellkeieetty and incapacity be exhibited, than that, with the prodigious navel and military means pos sessed to Our Ministers, we have piued nothimg in Spain, is Holland, or in Italy. except the calaini hees empsisitian of a grave for the interment of our soldiers With what sentiments of contempt must the House of Austria regard such allies, and how lite, future assisteaee or ereasperation eau she ex pect from es Admiuiitration so constituted,',which has allowed the most favourable opporturaes of liberating Germany to escape ? But that aide which might, and ought, under wise sod vigorous counsels, to have Iseeu extended by this country to FRANCIS IL in hi* present dis tress, sevens to have, must ussexpectedly, arisen from a quarter where it might, apparently, have been least expected. Every succeeding 1.121:01111i, even those Which are fabricated in places must sub jected to the contronl of the Corsican! Despot and his agents—from Frankfort, frion Stutganl, Noel from Passau, where his power is wiliinited—all combine in proving that the insurrection in the Ty nil, which at first appeared only to be the gene rous, but ineffectual struggle of a few mountaineers, against a tyraut *rifled with irresistible force, 1181. mistimed a most serious i.apect. Through the faint attempts to conceal the extent 6f their de feats, we can plainly perceive, that the French have beets completely driven, with immense loss, mid equal disgrace, out of every part of die Tyrol. into Bavaria, Saltiliiirgh, reel Suabia. We see that La FIERVAE, oith the Prince Royal of BAY A. ILIA. had been summoned to Vienna; no doubt to comma ors the means of re-attacking and re ducing those formidable insurgents. The king of W'satsuasac seems to hays: manifested come uu willinguess . or reluctance to send fresh troops against them : for his fiesperfed Master was obliged to transmit to him reiterated requests, before he chose to comply. Not a French or a Savories) WI.. dier appears to halm remained un the territory of Tyrol, in the last 4).. of August. They kept a wary diatoms, is consequence of their recent =is fortuities and defeats. A cieensastatme still more extraordinary. which proves that the insurrections is well organised. end • has struck deep roots, is, that one of the Chiefs resides in the Palace at In. Spruelt, and is surrounded with asilitary Officers, Adjutants, Ike. The French denominate him the Wil6e Till of the Tyrolese." An allusion which may justly excite some surprise, to he found in a paper priuted wider BONAPARTIeS controul. It easy not be very ouuvenieut, or practicable, to de tach 20,0014 or Jthooo fresh troops splint the Ty ,eolow, *kilo OA nosoeiatiottoiuojtoios tat► 4 Al tenboirigh, Nor can the eikrot .of a we eetotta un latioutpt on the poet of theme unuosquenibie mom. talweere, fait to be felt by the respective Moister* of NApoirom, end of FRANCIS. In Saxony, ton, it is evident that strong precautions are taking by the Corsican, to secure, we might probably say, to occupy permanently, and to appropriate to hint self, Dresden. Troops are nierehed into that capi tal of hies ally, as if it already belonged to France ; cannon are mounted on the ramparts ; Junior is sent to co tttttt and there; and the King of SAXON', now nu longer necessary, is ordered to repair to Warsaw. It is thus that be treats, deposes, and removes, the wretched Princes who prefer submis sion to resistance. Our next advice. from the Banks of the Danube, and of the Inn, will by no means be destitute of importance. THE BillTiSH PRESS, LONDON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER A report of u rpeetly dwaillition of I'drlintneot, Was in gcneral circulation, last at the west raid of tile tuwo. We have seen letters from Lislasu of the 3,1 inst. which state, tint the main hotly of Viscount W t.txcros's anus• WAS then at ida, in the Spanish pi mince of Estremsdura, la:•t ,oine of the pa..ers assert, that dispatches have liet-n rivetveil fi mu Ii a Lorilship io the :Ali inst. btel.ig, that he hail then moved from Elves to Ilad ;and his army was so suctioned as to be enabled to conct.t and art on the shortest notice. Provision, al began to lie supplied to proportion to the wants of the troops.— General CUCSTA'S army had been re , !uer,l to nearly Munn men. it origlically amounted to betwe:m 37 and 38,000 men. He lost about Ram iu battle; the rest, it is said, tied front their ranks, 411fInuni tiers have been decimated, or snot for cowardice— officers a s w e U as men. Ainoirg the instances of the waist of cordial co-opera:Cm on the part of some of the Spanish with the British army, it has bees observed, that although Andalusia might fur nish 13,000 mules, which they never use for tbeir own cavalry, tint one u•as furnished to Lord W ea t.' eI:TON, to remount his cavalry. Pour CEESTA ! ! and poor Spaniards!! Viscurnst WELLINGTON and you, accortliii4 to the report of the Ministerial Papers, agree no better than if you were all Secretaries of State„ •rod Members of the same Cabinet. We have nut, however, heard that Lord W Ll.l ItiGTON and Cu►:sra have been at Putney-beach to tight a duel. There Isar berm blood enough spilled at Talavera. Oat of the Treasury J.tirmils, of yesterday, as serted, that the duel fonglit by two of Nis t\lA~rs- TY's Secretaries of State, was nothing more than au "tinplcasont affair" between two private indi viduals, totally unconnected with official or public business►, and growing eutirely out of matter of a private and personal nature. We do nut wish to make any harsh remarks stroll such a bald amid barefaced falsehood, loving that the regret of the writer, if he possess any feeling, wail prove a sof ticient punishment and corrective, for so gross a vio lation of truth, and 'inch u disgusting outrage upon the credulity of his readers. Although, as we stated yesterday, the immediate spark that set fire is the train, long laid between the two Hight Honourable Secretaries, may not have been distii.ctly aseertaiii ed ; it is well known in the political circles, and even adisiatted by the confidential friends of the parties, that the spark was rttcited iii the collision of jarring interests, proiliiinal by the retirement of the Duke of PORTLAND front offiet., combined with the necessity of offering some sacrifice to appease the public indignation so strongly ei.riteil by our late wifintiniate Expeditions, in whirls Lord CAS TLlias..inll, I his oHicial situation, was neatly and conspicuously the most responsible of all his brethren in the Cobbler. The following are generally believed to he the two plans proposer, .to till op the vacancies to be produced by the meditat ed resignations : MR. CANNING'S PI.AN OF A NEW CABINET. I 'nisei f. First Lord of the Treasury nod Chen eellor of the Exchequer ; or. Mr. Pert:end, Chun eellor of the Exchequer—Lord Melville, the Ad miralty—Lord Mu'grave, the I Ireltionce--I.ord Le vesou Goner, the Foreign; lodord Liverpool. the Home: end Marquis Wellesley, the War Deisat inent." '• PERCEVAVS PLAN. Lord Sidinouth, First Lord of the Treasury, ripe the Doke of Portland—Marquis Wellesley. Secretary of Stute for the IVar n• I Colonies, vie* Lord Castlereagh. The other partitof the Cabinet to remain no before:" From the first moment that we heard of a change—end that such change was to be made by :Milkers themselves--we expressed our fears that it was only intended as a tub to the whale, a mere stratagem to delude the public by a pretended sa crifice; when, in fact, nothing more was really meant than a mere shut& or cutting for places among one and the sanie party, of one common political principle and feeling, and with scarcely the difference of a shade of talent between them—. A glance at the two Dew plena for mending and re ',pairingpairingd t h e oW _ C AI chew that our fears were not unfoianded. The first would place Mr. CANNING at the bend of the Cabinet, fortified by all his friends and connections about him. The second would leave him exactly as he now 'thuds, bat give a little more weight to Mr. lisacevai..— Mr. CANNING was, of course, adverse to the se cond ; and hence the jealousy between him and Mr. l'Eaccrxi.. But Lord CASTLEREAGH was to form a part of neither, and Ins disgrace was to be further aggravated by waking him a sacrifice to the security of Lord CHATHAM, and a were beast of burden, whom Mr. CANNING and his friends were to load with all the odium of all the unfortunate and ill-advised measures of the late Cabiuet. His Lordship, we grant, has been treoted as he deserves ; hut he must be dull, mean, and stupid, beyoud ell sense of feeling, if lie could have tumefy submitted to such degradation. Cabinet Councils weieueld on 'Elturralay and yes terday. They have beets attended by Lord ELDON, the Earl of ILIVERPO4II., Lord Nll:r.n,tavr, Lord Ll:vssoN GOWtilt, Earl CASIIIWN. Earl IlaTituasT, the Earl of CHATIIAM, lilt Earl of Wk.aruoi:- Latin s and Mr. l'RucEr•r. Some of the papers of yesterday cared Mr. CAN NING effectually, and left bins jumping about Is,* garden, at Brompton. We are assured, that he suffered considerable pain, on Thursday nialit, froin his wound, and had a good deal of fever. lie slept, however, a few hours, and was pronounced better last moriiiinz. The report of last night was also fa vourable. 111 Di. CAN NINO beii44, with her at Ilinckley , ia Leicestershire, Nn intimate friend set off, immediately after the duel, to break it to her.

This Castle has been the grand depot for all kind of military store, for the army darns; the war, but it is iuunediately to be tilled witit French prisoners —seven thousand of them march in as loon as the stores can be re moved.
