* o il Tits 044 Resort, and :otter &Inks, of ititelli g eusx, are given ill the bet :rage H E BRITISH PRESS. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2L. In our Paper of Tuesday last, we gave the sub staoce of the Declaration of BONAPARTE against the Court of V i-nna, received on the 35th last, by M. BACFIER, the French Charier des Afaires at Ra -6Csen, iitrd communicated by him, pursuant to the orders of his Court, to the Diet. The Maniteur of the I I th, contains this article at full length. A fa'tf fill copy of it is given In our preceding columns. Tuts .slanifesto of the French Government, for such it really is, stet out with a declaration of Bon a• P AIM'S 'pad*► dispositions towards Austria, as evidence of which, it details several causes of com plaint a 4 ainst that Power, which he passed over in silence. It will he seen, that some of these ttais of Austria ate such, as BON •r•ltTr: had no just right n complain of. and the rn jority are scarcely of importance enough to be the cause of A quarrel be. tvreen two parlshes, much less between two of the first-rate Powers in Europe. But, supposing Austria ;Ana:illy guilty of these charges, BONA P iRTI can claim iio merit from his forbearance. 1 Its polity and obj,d are plain to every under itandisg. 4, Doe's interfere with me, and NI not 'int,rieie with you," was the principle of his conca& Provided Austria passed over in silent suffering the murder of the Duke D' Etta ti i IN, the violation of the rights of the Germ r. Empire ; his outrages against the law of nations. and the persons of Ambassadors; his annexation of Genoa, and his assumption of the throne of Italy; the Corsican, in the exct ss of his in dulgence towards her, would condescend not to call her to an account for the acquisition of a few acres upon the right side of the Pave, for suffering a few pounds of the debt of Venice to remaio unpaid, or sending away from Vienna his spies, and the agents of his secret police, who lately songlit to inflame that city into rebellion. Provided BONA, P ARTC VIM suffered to proceed in the career of his enormous crimes and boundless ambition, he, in his excessive lenity, would not stop to chas tise Austria for doing what she had a right to do, or waste his time upon matters more fit for the determination of an inferior court of jus tice, than to be the subjen of diplomatic con troversy between two great nations. Having thus boasted of what BONAPARTE has not done, the Manifesto then proceeds to claim eredit fur ~hat he has done.—lt says, be has evacu ated Switserland, kept in Italy only a number of troops necessary to maintain their present po sttions, and entered into a war with England, to restore the equilibrium of commerce. But why does it not boast that tie has evacuated Holland and Hanover, and undertaken a war to restore the hal lance of power in Eutope, as well as the equilibrium of commerce ? Flavin, in the course of this emp• y boast of moderation and forbearance, avowed that his usurpations in halt are for the purpsr.r of insur ing the evacuation of Malta and Corfu, by Eng land and Russia, at a general peace; the Manifesto - state, that Boa AP A RTE "sill r•Nitder t declaration of roe directed armee hmi auressions which may he attempted against Body, and esperially agatast Bavaria."— ' never separate the interests of hit Em- If the Princes of Germany who are Any injury wkeh they may sustain, skeh they may he menaced, ran never him. or corman frott ha lively sot,- which ii apparently only a condi -4 of w 4-, may, in the present cir coasiderad absolute and decisive.— possibie. that the Emperor of Gee t his military preparations, withdraw 4 Swabia, and the Tyrol, and reduce a peace establishment ; and yet, with change in the conduct of the Emperor the Maniqsto expressly declares, that must necessarily exist, which Bo considers equivalent to an AC !VAL or WAR. In fan, we find that many parts of which ate peculiarly pride and importance of Austria, sligrtest degree, damped the ardour, military prepartions of that Power. has elapsed since this Manifesto was Court of Vienna, and every subse minances increased aaivity in the , • Although, upon the perusal of combined with other present citcom political static of EuroPet, we con inevitable. yet we are induced to will not be struck immediately. has, so doubt, answered this Manifesto, submit to the imputation of wan , the peace; of the Continent, and pacific, moderate, unoffendiog Box*. , P A R F, into a new wit. The iarii Papers iontain on other article than the Note, wliieh we have been commenting upon, and a short article from Stras burgh, stating, that the first column of the Armv of the Coast is esp.:Lied to reach Strasburgh on the 13th or 17th ; and that the divisions under 111.trshals SOVIT, Lasmcs, Ns v, and D'A vousr, commenced their march nearly at the same time. The conveyance of artillery and ammunitiqn to the Austrian army con tinues without intermission. T!.e cimp of Wels, particularly, receives every day fresh reinforcement s. The trchduke CHARLES is ezp -fled there, to view the army before it is put in motion. An Official Nntice has been published at Stras• burgh, stating, that the E seri:nos has ordered the Army of the Coast, to repair from the Ocean to the Hanks of the Rhine, where the several divisions of the army will shortly arrive. Bova PA Art is not expcfled there until the 26th or 27th instant. The French Funds are 53. His Royal Highness the Duke of \ionic will com mand the Expedition in per .on. Camp equipage, clothes, consisting of four new suits of Field Mar shal's uniform, &c. and every ether necessary pre paration have been made for his departure. A Spanish corvette, of 2l guns, supposed to he a prize to the Amazon, has arrived at Portsmouth. Our Dover Correspondent states, that the firino was renewed off Boulogne on Thursday, bur the cause was not ascertained at a late hour last evening. The Packet from Halifax has brought an ac count of the arrival at that place of His AIA)LSTv's ships St. Gcorre, Centaur, an.: En;le. The two for mer having received considerable damage on the 29th July, in a gale cf wind. which they experienced in lair 26. 19. long. 37. 27. The five Jamaica ships, carried into Cuba, were captured by two privateers, one of 13 guns, and 80 men, the other of '7 gulls, and 33 men which sailed from Trinidada, in Cuba, on the Ist of July ; they cut off eight of 1 1, e fl me, but could only r .p -ture five of them. The &stork, of Liverpool, Umght two hours in the night, with both privateers, and the next morning an hour and a half, and had one man killed, and three wounded. The Potty, JOEL, from Grenada. tor Newfrmnd land. has been captured by a French privateer in the West Indies, A letter has beett received from Capt.

The Witham Pitt parted company with the fl-t,t (which fleet sailed from Cork the 81st alt. under convoy of the Batiquyea, &c.) in a heavy gale of wind, the 7th, but was in daily expedition of join ing again. Thursday, the Court of Diredors rf the Bank an nounced their determination Migrant another Bonus of Five per Cent, on the catiiral stock of I 1300,0001. which had the immediate effed of raising the price of this stock to 185: per Cent. All the waggon-loads of Jolters that the Passers have talked about, as the first Instalment t ti.e Con tinental Subsidy, are intended for the East Indies and the Mediterranean. It is thought that the Earl of Wieenersea, or the Earl of PealltlOßE, will be the new Low Li Le- TeNat4T of Illtel.•111D. The Expedition a hich sailed lately from Cork, con sistiqg of three ships of the lice, besides h i,2,',Ees, 19 or 20 Indiamen, and several transports, making, in the whole, about 70 sail, we understand,is ter proceed, in the first instance, against the Cape. The number of troops which Sir D. BAIRD has taken with him, amountsto seven or eight thousand ; a force more than doubly sufficient to reduce the Cape, where there are not more than thirteen hundred troops, ill-appointed, insubordinate, and mutinous. As soon as possession of that colony shall be ob tained, it is supposed that the chief strength of the Expedition will make an attempt upon the Isle of France. Ile redudion of that depot for piratical excursions against our Indian commerce, is an enter prise particularly desirable. The island is in a for midable state of defence, both natural and artificial; but it is, notwithstanding, the opinion of well-in formed persons, that those difficulties are not insur mountable. An Evening Paper has given the following as the conditions upon which the Emperors of RUSSIA and GcilMAsy will consent, and procure the consent, of England, to a general pacification : Is to evactiate all Italy, Piedmont, Swltzmland, and Holland, into which, as well as Germany, on French Troops are, upon any premixt, to penetrate The offensive a ntl I Pic ttql • e Irreaty between Fiance and Spain, of 1796, is to be dissolved, arid the latter kingdom, as well as Portugal, is to have its independence restore I. The Left Rank of the Rhine, and the Alin and Pyrenees, ate to be the boundaries of the French Empire, which cannot, for the future, be paired in time of peace,withinit helms considered by the Armed Neutrality, a. , 11 Declaration of War. The Powers fainting the Arnie,' Neistra. I.tv, and tne future leepte 4 Pelisestiat, are, besides Russia and Austria, to consist of England, Turkey, Denmark, Swe d:n, Saxony, Naplm, Sardinia, Lcimbar y, Etruria, Spain, and Portugal. Piethwrint is tette monied to the king of Sar dinia ; Lombardy , with Parma and Placenta, are to he erected into an Independent Kiagdom, in tamer of the elder branch of the Bourbon Family Upon throe conditions, all the Confe derate Nimes are t acknowledge R in:merle as Emperor of the French, and Eogland is to restore Malta to the Order, Russia will evacuate the Sewn I.lands, and, as well as the other States, rrsiteri the independence and guarantee the integrity of the Turkish Empire.' It is almost unnecessary to observe, that this is a mere speculation. An Evening Paper says, Yesterday se'nnight, M. Gsort•c CAILLAUD and M. CANIILLt LAV•UD, ton of the French prisoners of war on parole at Chen terfield, decamped from that place, in violation of their parole engagements, mid have not since been heard of. The former was a wine -merchant, from Bourdeaux, and the latter Aid-lie-Camp to General Herr ix, and is his second Aid-dc-Camp who has made his exit from Chesterfield, since their arrival there from St. Domingo ; and, on the 13th ult. M. Cesverourr. a French' Burign-debraissers, also decamped from the wail place, and has had the good fortune cot to be leirsted." upperrw • . • „ • 5 , • , * , 04 45, 4 r.. 451 €°..

Yesterday afternoon. about two o'clock, a row.. ing match took place, 1. , ...ween Abu Gregory, of Vauxhall, and Jaw* Kir, T , of Westminster•b•i.'ge, for ten guineas. Though the wager was only for ten guineas, a great d-al of money was pending; serne of the amateurs (knowing cat...! were taken in. They started from the Old Sw n. London bridge, and rowed to the Old Swan. CLe sea. At starting, Gre,;ory had the inside boat, but Ki . 6l , got the lead ; Grriory then fouled him. and got a-bead ; and, on shooting over to the Surrey side. Kit'ely touched him upon his upper quarter ; GrTera covered this, and shot a-head. When they cams into the eddy at Bankside, Clego.s, was about a boat's length a-head, and kept that distance, with gaining a {rule, till they came to Millbank, when Kittry gave in. they, notwithstanding this defeat, offered to row his antagonist, any time he might think proper, for fifty pounds. It In;n7, a fine days a vast number of boats were on the water. ACROSTIC.

In the present Lottery. however, she may be said to outdo all her former outdoings ; as she will draw forth, in Capital Prizes, no lees a suns than 130,0001. besides 120,0011. in smaller benefits.
