I -r • MOST IMPORTANT. asserte.:, yo.ter,igy, that Bmi *tarn' situ*. Cott upon the Danube was 'critical—We were not aware at the tiros, that the 10th and 1 Ith Bulletins of the Frmrh arms' ia Cermany—announeing treat reverse or hiN fortune, were within a few miles of London.—The two Bulletins are date! Ebers dottf, the 23d and aide of May successively.— Ebertiolottf satua.e in A mtria, on the north. side I I I . I of the Danube-, in the line between Vienna I and Znaiin in Morayia, at which place the [latest accounts left the Empe:or of AesralA.— The Niiitb Bulletin witted, that the French bad, on the 19th, thrown a bridge over the Danube, about five miles from Vienna. From the two suc ceeding Bulleuua,. of which we give the substance, it appears, dll. on the intli, 11014•PARTE crossed the river into Ans.cia, accompanied 1„- hi s f avo u r _ ite and most renowned Generals, BERTUIER, BIAS- j bEtt A, and LASSES. On the ensuing day, the 21A, they came into action with the Austrians. The battle lasted the whole of the 4.2 d ; and the Tenth Bulletin confesses, that. iu the moment of tommokelasa h . the French army slackened its fire, and was obliged to concentrate its force.— This language is pretty plain ; it is synonymous With defeat ; and, in the present case, the defeat is the more palpable, for the Bulletin says, the slackening of the fire, and the concentration, that is, the calling, iu of the scattered forces, were occa sioned by a shocking accident," viz. the break ing down of the new bridge over the Danube, which cut off the rosin army that had ads anced into Austria from the reserve. In this extremi ty, after a severe action, which lasted the whole of the 22d, BONAPAIVIE, instead of advancing, ordered his army to sews the little arm of the Danube, from the left bank, and take a posi tion on the island of Irwiler-Lobaii, until 1w could, by the means of a new bridge, be reinforced 'by the reserve of his army on the southern side of the Danube, admitting, at the same time, that until the replacing of such bridge, nothing could be undertaken agsinst the enemy. Accustomed as the public are to French gasconade and imposture, they must read with caution and surprise the plain admission of a decided defeat of the French arniy. It is almost inconceivable that T......NAPARTE would communicate such ungrateful truths, miles* in con fident possession or expectation of others that must greatly outweigh them. The intelligence is, how ever, the latest that could lie received, and we rest in confident hope of finding it realised to all ex tent greatly exceeding the French Bulletins. It was reported. last night. that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had been surprised to Mamba by French force, and made prisoner.—We could not trace this rumour to any certain authority. The insurrection in the Tyrol, we regret to state, is at length suppressed, and that breve suit loyal people are obliged to resume the yoke of the Freach trout. On the 19th last, the Bavarians entered lnspruek. It appears to have surrendered at discretisn. The fleet of transports, with troops for Portugal, which lately swirl front Portsmouth, have been timed by contrary wind pot into Cants Roads. A vessel is arrir.d from Chjon, front whieli she sailed on the 40th ult. At her departure the enemy were within sight of the town, and before she had cleared the harbour was tired upon by the batteries. She had 15 Friars on hoard, 10 of whom were forced to rebind ; the remainder are arrived in England. A report was yesterday circulated that Geneni! VICTOR had, by a rapid march. reached Lisbon, lend taken possession of that capital, before Sir AR itsuß ll'atLast.ce could arrive front the North to impede his progress. No such intelligence has been rceeived by Government, nor do we give any credit to the report. We sire convinced that Vic- TOR would retreat, rather than advance, upon the approach of Sir A KTllint WALLIS/UST.

TRESPASS AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT. 'NANO e. NaTTLaTON and OTHERS. Mr. TOPPING, for the Plaintiff; stated, that this action was brought to recover compensation for fafee imprisonment of a very outrageous deecriptieu. The Plaintiff, a respectable tradesman, a black lead pencil-inaker in the Strain', on the 39tit De ceinher last, ileum pained by Ititi brnther,sisters, and soother, wean) the gallery of Drury-lame TI ieatre, at half price, forthe purpose ofseeing the performance; after they had paid their money, they could 4 Jiii uo ethane:ion, the gallery being full; when the Plaintiff, upon demanding the return of his moisey, war seized by tile collar by Defendant, dragged down the stairs, and taken to the watch-house, where lie was committed, its well ea his brother, by Harris, the keeper of the watch-house to a dungeon, cold, dark, damp place, and kept there from nine o'clock till half-past eleven, whim they were exa mined before Warren, the coastahle of the night, refused permission to send to their friends or pro cure bail, and were told they must go hack to their duriaeon, or pay two shillings for a bed ; this they com plied with; a hen morning came, they were again threatened with the dungeon, unless they would pay two ginning* more to sit by the fire: ts Inch, sooner than return to so cold and Meagre es ithle a pLice, they also paid ; they were then takeu to flow -street, where the Magistrate discharged them, and reprehended the officers. The Learned •coutisel coecluded by sayin,g, that if he made out this Can in evidence, the parties would be eutithal to serious damages. Alr. Abraham Hand (a Jew), brother to the' Plaintiff, was then called and sworn.—He said that his brother is a pelted-maker, residing at No. 371, in the Strand. On the 30th of December last, he went to Drury-lane 'ffieetre, accompanied . hy his brother, Joint I land, his mother, and two somas ; they went to the unesshilhog gallery, and paid their money to be admitted at the half-taice. There was tie room in that gallery, and they ob tained a check to admit them to the two-shilling gallery; there they were told the gallery was full, cud they could not . got in; their si and mother I went home, and at tn.'s and brother returned to the one-shilling gallery, anddctuuuded their money. Mr. Titche., the money-taker, said the cheeks hid passed, mud the money could not be returned ; upon persisting in their &m end, Nettleton, acme. stable, in the pay of the Tee:are, interfered, kick ed.the Pleintifftlown stairs, collared kiin, and drag ged him to the watch-house. Witness followed, and said it was a great shame Char he should be to treated; when they got near CoveitteGerdeti watch house, Nettleton desired a patrols to seize 'wit news, and they were high taken in together. When they were iu the watch-liouse, twinned remarked,* they were brought there for teething ; upon which Nettleton said, holding his staff in a threatening posture, that if he did uot hold bis tongue, he would shove his staff down his throat; and would{ have carried his threat iuto ettecuton, had it Slot been for the iuterference.of a serreet girl. They were then told they should be put ludo the black-hole, chit were thrust iid. it, dots,: seine steps, ewe over the other. After they had been kept in this place about an hour, where witness said he was lee ' D umbed eith cold, a rwau came amid togowed a little door or wicket ; they edimplained-of t treatment they had received, and wished for u more coinfurt able place; lie replied that he could not relieve them ; be had almost fargotten they were there ; and shut the door, rematking, that that would be doing something to keep them warm. Alter some further time had elapsed, they were brought up before Mr. Warren, the constable of the night, when Nettleton preferred a charge against them for being riotous at the door of the Theatre. They were then ordered back to the dark-hole, when a Mr. Bainbridge, who was present, said, he thought they might find better accommodation; upon which Warren desired him to hold his tongue. Plaintiff then offered to give bed, and meationed two or three Gentlemen in the Strand, but it was objected, they were not within the perish. Plaintiff then named others who were ; when it was agreed, that, se it wasa theatrical tidally, they would not take bail at ell. They were then offered a hied foe two shilling*, which they paid, but were refused permission to send home to their family. Witness sniff, that al though he was benumbed with cold, they would not allow him to warm himself. At test o'clock next morning they paid a shilling for sending down Southampton -street, to their family, and afterwards paid two shinnies more to go to the' lire; other wise they wield have been pent again. to the black hole. Between eleven and twelve o'clock they were taken to Bow-street, and were 'Recharged. Upon his cross-examination by 111 GAIIROW, he said his father's name is Aram, the his forefather's name was Hanel, ided that both hit. <elf and brother alwuys signed their names Hand. Upon asked whether lie never answered to the name of Arent ? lie said lie might, or to Jacob; or to any other name, whielalte might be celled by chance; the same way is Christians answered ereetewseameof. Jack, although their names should be William.-- fie was then asked, wnether he was in the habit of going to playnouses upon his Sabbath to which he replied he YOBS out, mikes particular circumstances made it suitable. Mr. Moses Jacob deposed, that he left the thea tre at half-price; that he was a stranger to the Plaintiff, and savethe whole transaction, till they readied the watch-house, where he was refused! ad mittance. He corroborated the evidence of the pre ceding witness, and said, that the people in general complained of the treatment which Plaintiff and his brother received. He went to the Police Offer the next day, to state what he had witnessed, bet was too bite, the retie hinting lwen dismissed. Mr. PARK said, that he MUD Counsel fir Warren and Harris, and, to save the time of the Court, would rest hie defence 'you the witnesses that might he called by his learned (need Mr. Garrote. Mr. GARSOW then sate` it was not his wish to t depreciate the oath of any marl, because he was a Jew ; he knew many very respectable charactere of that profesitiou ; but that when a person had two names, it wore fit suspicious aspect ; which, when backed with a violation of the Sabbath, must est to strenetheu doubt whem it existed. lie-sug gested that this adieu might have ori%inated in of the Plaintiff's friends readiug reports of --.- r_--- -,- • . • -. . , trials, where Lord Bllenborough ittighi have re.; conniiiiided a verdict 44201. orse, iii it ease of false imprisonment ; upon which it might liiivie come in. to the hew] of Mr. Moses or Mr. hiseoli, that it would be. a very easy way to get 201. to nu to the one-shilling gallery, of the 'theatre, at hair price, kick up a rots, get into the watch-house, and brie{ all action for false iin nrisomnent ; then if' such a venhet could he obtained, ! it veer, py shedu r cord for" pekshils for ins age. The Learned I lentleinau then said, that he was Conic sel Duly tor Mr. Nettleton, the constable of the parish in which he lives; that he would prove, that • hen money was paid at the Theatre, it could not he returi-d—that the Plaintiff was riotous and viw lent ; that, it' the case was as stated, he would not uphold it—hut it wag not true; the constable at the watch-house had no right to take bail ; and, Le! to the case being dismissed by the Magistrate, he supposed he treated it lightly. being merely a play. house atiniy. Mr. PARK followed with a few observations id defence of Warren Nod Harris, who, he said, must have been strangers to what had passed at the Theatre. As to the black-hole, it was not u dun.' genii, us had been represented, but was a boarded room. William Titcher was then called. He recol heeled taking money of Plaintiff and Witness, 2s. bd. for admission at half-psice. giving them a ticket to go to the other gallery, their returning, deinauding their money, and calling him to account tor reetavilig money alter the gallery was full ; Mom tiff told hint lie ought to have put up the board or ptecard, to say it was full, and insisted upon having his money returned, which could lint be complied with. 110 would not leave the place, was noisy, awl would not go np or down till lie had Ids money ; Cite cuirstaide wet called, who pulled out his staff, put !dui tlinitigh the hatch, and he 100 V 110 more. Upon hii cros,-evAininstion, he sold he had no means of knowing when the gallery rat full. un less ny some (me prouniseunualy slaying so, 4:141 he did wit know how many he let in that light after it ".as Nathan Nathan, aJ. w, tid, he was at the Theat, that night ;that he knew the Phautiff from his child hood ; that he was very noisy ; that the conatabte was very gentle in his behaviour ; but he did not know what passed after they left the Theatre. Dated Brown. door-keeper, swore, that the ts o brothers were turned down by Nettleton, they got liiio up iu a comer, hod lie saw stnke 'mu uuee or twice, when he went to the cennuel, o his cootie up and turned thew out. Mr. M'Donald, a cheek-taker, corroborated the evidence of 'Pitcher. Upon at question from Lord Et.ess Aaiu:on. he said that Loth check-taker soil nioney-taker were stationary, and that they hind no means of ascertaining when the gallery was full, or to stop taking moucy, bet by the report of strangers. Mr. Torrlon theu replied at great length. He said, that flowerer much tn.; breach of the liabbatii was to b• condemned; it could not invalidate the testimony ola witness ; that although Mr. (harrow had eonnattuted upon it, still. to suppei t kis de fence. he had called owe who had been guilty of the like Offence; and that if Plimatiff bad gone to the Theatre to find cause for action. he would not hart taken with him his—female relatiute. Ile had me although before it wag a secret, that that defence was, combo:led by the Pprorietors of the Theatre. The mausement the Plaintiff sought was a rational one, and the in diguatiou he expresso(' was no more than env one worth' tome who had 'pit his money, which eould not hare hero the ease, had the board been nut up.— Tile Learned Counsel then commented upon the etalence of Brown, amid said that Mr. Rail. the Magistrate of Bow -street; would not have dis missed the complaint. had his assertions been true; end trusted the Jor; would give such compensa tion as they would, in a like emir, expect to receive. - Lord Etit.taannotion summed tip the evidence with great perspicuity. Ile then said, it was for the Jury to determine upon the evidence, whether any or the whole of the three Defendants, Nettleton, Warren, and llama, were guilty? explidued the law of trespass, old left the question to their deeisinn. If they thought the whole were guilty, they would give Joust damages neainot them all. According a. they 'mitered the prominent features of the evi dence, they would dud for the Plaintiff or De fendant. After a few-minutes consideration, the Jury re turned their verdict for the Piaintiif--Daineges 101.
