While we abhor and stigmatize his perfidy, his insatiable atabitina, his a v oc i ot p o and liysteinalical violations of ull the ties that can bite! kings or nations. let us do justice to his sublime talents in the Cabinet and in file Field. Never hare they been more strikingly exemplified unit exerted. than within the last few weeks ! When wr ennsidur that he only quitted Paris on I the hull of April. late at night; and that, on the evening of the 16th, he was at Dilliugenin the heart of the German empire, ally a lbw leaves. from the celebrated plains a Blasheim; sal when we further reflect, that after giving so ... i di enor o f h a lf ga hell/ to a King of Divarla,„ -whom he had himself created by lii. ~elitiou, and confirmed on the throne by his vietorism, he proceeded on the fullowiug day to In galdstadt ; we are ,wallowed up in astouislan eat. Well may he say to his soldiers, as - be did in his first proclamation, " I come with the ►apidity of the eagle r' That King of Birds, whose image he Ins adopted as hie y►ubol, seems alone capable of expreswing the velocity of his mnveinents, sod the energy of his soul. In fact, we find him on the eoth of April, coutending with the Archduke I.orts and General Rett.t.e, at Abetsaberg in Bays. Tia, bctsvi en Neustadt and Ilatisbon, tb the south of the Danube. It is, however, obvious, notwitli stautling his ingenious attempts to conceal it, that he did not dare to trust to the fidelity or adherence of the Bavarian ■od Wirtemberi !reaps that day, unless he personally superintended, and led them on to the charge. He did sO; as Cassw. or as I : REMAKE THE GREAT would have as suredly acted in a similar situation. Ile was net rssitsted to hentognf; them before the at son bean; the Prince Royal of •BAVeavt being made to interpret and tnuislate into Gilman, the Corsican EIIirEROE'S speech. A more hurnili utin4 office could not easily have been chosen for the son of a Soverelgn ; but, unquestionably NA ro LEON retained him near his own person on that day, exactly as our Ricitsan Jed young STANLEY, at the hattle of Bo :co-nth. Ile was an hostage for Ins lather and his countryman, whom 11411APRETE could not trust. •In fart, we do not hear of any serialisations or 'nark, of applause that followed the . harangue, of which honourable mention would cer tainly have beau niade in the Bulletin, if any such testimonies of approbation hail been exhibited. The bottle was, however, as we arc informed, soon termi nated ; and on the following da), the Conqueror at tacks and carries Landslint, a large &vitriol) town on the river Iseron the direct road from Ratisbon to Munich. So far his movements were all forward 'ones. But, while N A Portion thus proceeded in his victorious career, he seta)s to have committed an • error, in not leasing a sutliciait corps to defend the bridge across the Danube,at Batiste'''. Upon this tarps, consisting, as the Bulletin asserts, of only one thousaad French troops of the both Regiment, the Archduke Citant.es fell 4101pected Iy, am! obliged theta to mr►trdrr.

HARIOIi or Tl3trit, itr swore that ill" twruty-four hours kus trim) Wood shopld flow in Ratislios,:to resent the insult which bad been offered to tip. French arms." It was, indeed, nu il tuecess, to be ob- I . taint%) by the Austrians, in the first moments of the campaign. With his characteristic rapidity, Bona:- eaten, sensible that he could not advance towards Munich or Vienna, while the AactsoultE was be hind him,'and master of the bridge over the Di :ibe, instantly marches at the Austrians, whom he finds drawn up at Eckmnul, not far from Ratiabon. A great battle ensues, in which, it is'evident, that the Austrians were worsted on the 23d, and on tha following day the French regain lisitisbon, after a very obstinate resistance, and, no doubt, a propor tionate loss on the French side, whatever at tempts are made to conceal, or to deny it. But the • result of this victory is only, that the AICRDURE is compelled to retire to the aortA of the Danube, while the enemy remains master of the country to the synth of that river; and, con sequently, of the nearest road to Vienna, through Mulddorf, Bruunau, NVells, and Lintz. In fact, we are that the Coastcsn's sole object into posh on by forced marches towards . the Austrian capital, so us to arrive there heroic the Archduke CUARLEs. For that purpose, we see, that not losing an hour, while he sends NIAsSENA along the southersi.baisk of the Danube, to take possession of Straubing and Passau, he himself bad pushed on, and established his Dead-quarters, au the 37th, at Muldclorf, a La- Italian town on the river Inn, upon the great road front Munich to Vicuna. Yet it appears, that on lb, 2Jtli, three days subsequent to the victory at Eelto multi, an Austrian corps, beyond Neuinarck on the Inn, attacketi the Bavarians there posted, and pros ably defeated them, fur, they are only said "to have preserved their positions." From these premiss eA, divesting them of exaggeration, it follows that tile Austrians have been defeated, and that Bottha P.:STE is nearer to Vienna thou the Aacitoukas No doubt be will strain every nerve to reach that city, in hopes of terrifying the Emperor Paaacts again to make a peace. If he cau carry that poiat i , all is over. But unless the Cabinet of Vienna is more base, more pusillanimous, and more besotted thou was Cita aLas IV. himself, they will refuse all terms.

This was an action bruaght by the Plaintiff against the Defendant, fur criminal conversation with the Plaintiff's wife, Lady Charlotte Welles ley, the daughter of the Earl of Carloguu, by which means he was deprived of her soviety, to the de struction of their conjugal happiness. Damages were laid at 30,0001. Tim DOilidatit kiliewvii judg ment to go by delimit, and the Sheriff this day summoned a Special Jury to assess daaliges. Mr. UMULOW stated, he had the honour of at tendiug on the part of the Ploititiff to seek re paration for one of the worst and most cruel in. juries a married man could solemn'. lie did really think, as frequently as lie addressed Juries in such cases, this was one of the most difficult, and the most cruel that had ever vitae wider his notice. Die Plaintiff was brother to the noble Marquis of his name ; the Defendant, wits also of a noble fa mily of not less high estimation ; Linty Charlotte was in rank not interior to either ; all the parties bird been acquainted from their childhood; the Plaint iff's and Lady Charlotte's ages were the same; it was a marriage of affection i it took Place in the month of Sept. Inn 3 ; the fruits of it were four flue children, rho engrossed the kind love and attention of the father, and also, apparently, of the mother. The most perfect harmony and conjugal happiness reigned throughout, until this unfortunate eircum titmice took place. The Plaintiff had been latterly engaged in the ditties 9f a must important situation in the Treasury, which prevented him from paying that assiduous attention to Ludy Charlotte, that he was in the habit of ; in fact, it left an opportunity for the Defendant to pay attention to her, which he took advantage of, and finally seduced her. On tint case, the new Order of the House of Lords could trot operate, as site tell into the bands of I man who was the father of eight children, and u married man. He was commanded nut to arty a word that could hurt the feelings of Lady Char lotte, as the Plaiutitra heart at that moment bled for. her. He wished theist to visit it on Lord Paget alone, and that in the only way it could now be visited —by damages. They were not to take into their conaideratiou the gallant achievements of the Defendant tat the fichl, his bravery there could not heal the wound to the Plaintiff. He did not know what kind of defence would he tint up by the Defentlaiit. Ile would produce some of the most respectable witnesses, to thew what conjugal uffeetiou they lived in. They all knew the talents of his Learned Vrieti I, and if he held forth there was such a blaze of beauty, that.the Defendant could .not withstand, he trusted the Jury would not pay at attention to such a caricature of de fence. Ile well knew, that the Lea-ced Counsel would not give him an opportunity of ieplying; hr therefore hoped, that it would not be cotindered disrespectful of hint, if he made his boa, mid with drew before the business concluded, as the Court lie particularly belonged to uses stttitig, and it was necessary for him to attend. Ile theta called the n itnesses. The Rev. Mr. Sloan deposed lie had beets in the habit of firing in the greatest iiititiracy with the Plaintiff awl Lady Charlotte, since their marriage ; lie never knew any thing hut the must tender con duct from the Porintiff to Lady Charlotte s and from her to him, until very lately. He was in the habit of meeting her at houses where they were mutually acquainted, from whence lie sometimes accompanied her, with other ladies, to the Opera; when it was concluded, she made it an invureable rule to return home, and inquire if the Plaiutiff was at home; and if he was, she alighted and re maimed with him. Lord George Seymour, the Dean of Windsor, and Mr. Sydenhatn, corroborated the testiumuy of the first witness. Mr. Gamteiv observed, the Plaintiff's case was closed. Mr. DALLAS, Counsel fcr the Defendant, ob served, he was well aware of the difficulty eeui ent burrainneut he had to get ever in defceding this care. He agreed with his Learned Friend that it was a case of great sucgrav t'ion. According to the directions of his Noble Chem, he would not at tempt to defend or mitigate the unfortunate step he had taken, nor would he attempt to take any thing front the colouring of the picture so ably painted by the Learned Counsel ; he would not at tempt to take away any thing from the calamities of the situation of the Plaintiff, who we, so much itijiired. lle was instructed to say, slimy amount of daumges would compensate (or the injury, the Noble Defending was ready to sul 't to the pay. meat or them ; but Lord Paget well knew, that da mages could not be . any comptieution, or heal the wouud so severely Oyu; but that the great object ef the Plaintiff must be to gain that, the finnidation of which has already cost him so - much pain.-- This not being a criminal prosecution, the Defend ant being a husband, and the father of a nu merous family, had nothing to do with the case, iu a criminal case lie allowed it might ; but in a civil one it had no right to be put iii the scales, for it .was the some to the injured party, whether she eloped with • married or is single man, at least the injury tins the same, however the feel ings might be affected. His Noble Client trusted his case to the Jury, with the eonfidence that they would act as nieto, and men only. The Defeedatit and Lady Charlotte met in their early days, iu their youth, which brought about what happened in their riper y ears ; from seeing and enjoying the playfulness of youth, produced friendship, which ripened into love, and the veil dropped. They tried to make resistance against what they both knew to be improper. Their first resolittio• was never to meet again—le this great town, from the cistern or the age, it was iniposaible.-- She called religion to her aid,' and thought by its all-powerful inluencit to wash away her crime by repentance, but in vain. The Noble Defendant had tried even more strong menus. He had adopted the noble prole:Aims of arms, and his name and exploits were the theme of every soldier. He seemed to have been in pos. session of all human happiuess, until this passion overcame him. How is he now situated ?
