the A sstrian garrison in Ulm, arid trio - sc. tag the division of BiIIiADJTTE to the risk Of bein3 crushed by the joiat forces of Auitria and i l si I, upon the Sinks of the Inn. It w mid ill be come his alive and enterprising spirit, to waste s uet precious moo:tents, sitting, like a melancholy mourner, over the ruins of the Austrian Army in Ulm. Ni,no, F10:44,4arg Wall all on fire to fol low BeamsoorTl to the Inn, and to crush the Russians, before they had shake.' the dust from their sh ors, in the Austrian territory. He never meant to postpone the surrender of Ulm, until the night of the 4 25th. The condition was illusory, and go~+rAe'rti well knew he could break it when he pleased. When Mace signed the capitulation, on the 17th, he destroyed the spirit of the garrison ; they could display no heroism after that humiliat ing event. Besides, Bross v Aare was put into imme: diate possession of one of its principal gates, and a French brigade was stationed within its walls. t3NA AAAAA might, therefore, impose any farther r .ems he pleased. Imitatin-4 the Roman Generals, vh „ 4.,zravated the sorrows of the vanqoished, and gran:led their own pomp and vanity, by exhibiting their prisoners in oroces.ion, he ordered the Austrian army to deft e !orlon hi n ilis knowledge, and his taste for stage elf el. en Oiled him to devise one of the grimiest spra ides presented the theatre of mo dern war. the ;terforni in:e insted from two until seven o'clock of the ‘2 l )th, florin; which time he too: his sta ion on I:ie heights of Uirn, sur rminded by his Life Guards, and the Austrian Generals, whom he also put into requisition, to wi:ness the humiliation of those brave troop, ash im the i:nbecility of their Greeral had led to defeat. While the Ass:lieu vddiers were thus pissing in proces.ion, he add.es , el the Generals in the old revolt:lei:mar y style, reproaching their master with carrying All un j Ist war, and the Austrian soldiers a' slaves, who only serve by compulsion, while all the youth of France Go.-k, as volunteers, to his stan.Lird. But, amidst this Jacobin cant, we find some expressions of great moment. 't I would give," says be, in the ninth Bulletin, o my brother, the Emperor of Gee MANY, one further pieze of advice. Lto him hasten to ni ikr peat-. I desire nothi ig upon the Clutha:Tit ; I want ships, colo nies, and commerce ; and it is as much your interest as mine that I should have them." If any proof of it were wanting, this would suffice to thew the policy of BON6PAILTI. He will not lose a moment to offer peace to Aum is upon liberal and honourable terms. He will stop at is .thing to detach her from the coalition ; and, should he succeed, the Bus slaws must go back as they came. }laving thus brought the war in Germany to a conclusion, he will inflta some mark of his displeasure upon Prussia. for the friendly disposition which she has shewn to the allied cause; and then will crane the war for ships, for coloni-s, and for cnmnterce ; the war for the destruction of England. Bo- N ‘eARTC had it in h's power, by the surrender of Dim, to march for the Adige, 'end, coming down upon the Archduke CHARLES, to crud, the Austrian army in Italy to atoms; but, according to the Dutch Papers, 1111163V/A alone is more :nail equal to the enemy in that quarter. An article (Lied Hague, tilth last, states, that the French passed the Adige, at Verona, on the 18th, and obtained a vic• tory over the Aecnouct, in which the latter lost 1,400 men, taken prisiners, exclus:ve of killed and wounded ; with seven pieces of cannon, and eighteen caissons. But the most extraordinary passage in tie French Bulletins, is that in which Mace is msJe to say, that " the Emperor of G teams v had not wished for war, but was compelled to it by RUSSIA." Such a wanton con fession, supposing it true, places him in the rho:t contem,Mble, if not the most criminal light. !lot in the iiiMlllllP alone we find an as- Is tto r xci.e a pis Jodie@ against the Russians. In .ome of the London Prints they are ch aged with being tardy in their advance, and full a MUNIII be hind the time of their 'spree.' arrival ; while , in others, we are told that A ca..: 1w n ell does not send forth his troops for any liberal and generous pur pose, but to make conquests in the south of Europe, in the very same spirit of ambition and aggrandise ment, which aeuates the conduct of Boa AAAAA c. This is a subjee of great importance, and we shall take an catty opportunity to return to it. It will reported. yesterday, that the Dikes of 'Vona and CA SI BR not were expeAed to take leave NisJesrtes, this day, previous to their de pantile for the Continent.

On Saturday night, Mr. BRAN AM and Signora SroaACt performed the parts of The Srractier and Lila, in the Opera of The Siege of Belgrade. It was their first appearance this season, and a more flattering reception we have never witnessed. Mr. BRAN&M'S entre was honoured by three 414- find rounds of plaudits. He never was in finer voice, nor ever displayed his wonderful powers to more advantage ; all his fine and delicate tones were executed in the most masterly stile, and his ailing displayed uncommon energy and spirit. Several of his songs were loudly encored. Signora STORACIL was in high spirits ; in resum ing her favourite part of Lille, she seemed to feel all the pleasure of regaining an old and favourite friend. She never sang better, nor displayed more comic humour ; her duet with Leopold was loudly entered. That part was sustained by Mr. BAN- Nur t* with his usual excellence. Miss Decamp made Katherine a most interesting and impressive performance; she was elegantly dressed, and looked as if her health and spirits were perfeitly ritstnred. A Mr. MI Leta made his de4et in the part ; his voice is soft, and he pos sesses scie:!ce; but, front timidity, or a want of natural powers, his voice cti not appear to possess strength or compass. Mrs. BLAND sang the wings of G 540, with great taste and sweetness. ' 1 he Opera is got up with all the magnificence that might be expeiled from the lilsei.aliry of the Ma. nagers. The Entert Liniment was The Panne, and were it not for the life, spirit, and vivacity, dis played by Mrs. JORD•PI. is Reatri.e, and Mr. HAM. elisvett's exertion, in thrrierfri, it would have hero a doll and spiritleA performaace.

DUBLIN, O'CT. SO. PRIVATE CURRESVONDENCE. Since the arrival of Mr. I.ong, the entire of the financi ri arrangements :ind estimates, for the en suing year. are making out under his direEtion. Mr. Foster remains in a VAC of ( with him) unusual inertness ; has been seen seld N m at the slreasiity siiice his return ; and is, as present, at Callon, en jnying that delightful ru, ai sr:en n-1., which he has either created or embellished. The new revenue relul itions have not, it is understood, produced the expefted effect; and the new taxes (particularly the indirect ones) have been entirely unprocinftive ; insomuch so, that the receipts of the present year, even including the new taxes, when compared with a corresponding period of the former year, exhibit a considerable ihtfieit. In the wine -duties, particu larly, there has bees an alarming tailing off, in con sequence of the decreased consuniptilii. In truth, the psople of Ireland live up, almost all of them, to the extent of their income, and many of them beyond it. When these very heavy duties are laid upon consumable articles, not of the first necessity, having nn hoard to draw on, they are obliged either to retrench the use of them, or to plunge into ine vitable ruin. Dean Kirwan's funeral has just parsed, and is attended by an immense coacourse of the =Ma respeaahl.: citizens, iacluding almost :eve. y friend to humanity and genius, now in Dublin. The children of the several charity schools walk in procession ; amongst the rest, 139 female orphans, belonging to Mrs. Latouche's schlool, who'e cause he so often and so eloquently pleaded, and who, in him, may he said, a second. time, to have lost a father. No less a sum than 1.4001. was at a srrigte sermon, preached by him fur this Institution. DUBLIN, OCT. 29. On Wednesday but, the BerkavieL./1 packet, ('apt. Goddard ; the Comte wherry, in the service of the Post-OfF.ct ; and a private wherry, beloning to Mr—Lents, of Rogerson's Qaay, sailed for Holy. llea2, with five Mails on board, which had been cll. tained by contrary winds. It was then blowing a tremeaduoas gale from the East and E.N.E. Tan Befsorowvs had a passage of ninety hour:, dttri"g which she encountered much bad weather, and lost her top-mast. _ ',he Ciiokr wherry wts obliged to return to port% w;thnut being able to make her passage, and ..Lea e• wherry, with two trails, founder:d at sea; part of the vessel, and the bodies of two of the crew, have drifted nn shore near Clnnta►f. As there were re mittances to a large amount on board, this melan choly event his e'ie'ei a considerable sensation in the mercantile world. Gener..l Fuller, who commanded the garrison of Athlone, upwards of two years, left that town on Tuesday Inst. We hear he is appvinied to a com mand in th= East Indies. General Dalrymple, his successor in the command. arrived the same day. Nest morning, he inspected minutely the state of .De barracks, fortifications, stores, &C. We un.ferstand several robberies have been recent ly committed in the neighbourhood of Cork-street. ‘Ve are sorry to state, that the easterly winds have done, and are likely still to do, much mischief upon this side of the Irish Channel. Oa Saturday, a brig and a galliot advancing to get into the harl:oitir of Dublin. were both stranded ; the first no the bar, 'the latter upon the white bank nearly opposite Men tion. The brig, we are sorry to relate. was utterly lost, with all her yew; the persons on board the gal liot with great difficulty reached Sandymnunt, in their boat, an were all save.l. On Sunday and yesterday the storm continued with such violence, anti the sea ran so high, that no attempt could be made to search into the situation of the brig, or to extricate the galliot from her danger. Considerable damage, we are sorry to learn, has been sustained by several vessels, in fi e liasr Limos, from the gale of Thursday night. A 6c:wooer sod a brig are on shore, and also a West Indianian, hound to the Clyde, Captain's name, Morrison. The Mary, of Carrickfergus, from Irvine, with coals, for lielhist, James Carey, master, was lost near Do naghadee, and all on board perished, except one boy. We understand, that Gavernm.ist have received confirmation of the arrival of the joint Swedish and Russian forces, at Cuxhavel. _ _ The Sul,i/le frigate gees nut to Cn'rhsven imme diately, with dollars amounting to 300,0001. sterling. Important news from Lord Nstsom is daily ex pelled. In consequence of the detention of the Harwich packets by contrary winds, the Mails to Cuxhaven, are postponed until Friday, the Bth inst. On Saturday evening, General MOORE left town for Ramsgate. Ministers have had it in contemplation, for some time past, to establish telegraphic communications from Plymmith-dock to the Admiralty. On Satur day it was finally determined upon, and Mr. Roe- Duct: received orders to prepare the telegraphs, at the different stations, according to his plan, with all speed. We understand the communications are to go to Portsmouth, and from thence to London. On Thursday evening, Wooxi. iv, the Admi ralty Messenger. was sent off with dispatches to Lord KEITII and General Moose, at Ramsgate. In consequence of which, his Lordship and the General arrived in town, on Thursday afternoon ; in a short time after their arrival, Lord KRITH had a consultation with Lord BARU Ale, at the Admi ralty ; and General Moons waited upon the Duke of Yost, at his office, in the Ilurse Guards. Lord Kstro attended the Board of Admiralty during Satnrelly morning, till between '2 and 3 o'clock.— General Mooß R had an interview with Ministers on Saturday morning, and afterwards had a consulta trim with Lord livrcilinson and General GORDON, at the COMMANDLI.IN.CHIII% Office. DREAnruL MURDER. --.---- Yesterday morning. between the hostris of three and four o'clock, reocitini groans attraeted the watchmen, in the neighhont hood of St Clement's lane, to the steps of a door in Geanee•conrt, on which a man lay ertenci , (l, at hill length. The watchmen. at first, conceiycd that the pers. n was drunk ; hut not being able to ger 31.11 , answer to their repeated questions, tocy neicisted a light, and found that the unfortunate person's throat was cut to the very bone of the neck. The steps were entirely covered with blood, arid the whole appear ance of the place was shocking, beyond deseript on. Some appearance of life still remaining, the un happy man was conveyed to the watch-house, where surgical as.istance was instantly procured (M a nearer inspeflion, it was found, that the gaiter and • wind-pipe were cut through. The surgeon stitched up the wound, and left nothing untried, which could in any manner tend to preserve his I tc. In some little time, he was able to speck, and stated several important fats, which we do not think it right to mention, until the Coroner's Inquest shall he hid. He positively denied having committed the as 9 hot said, that a butcher like looking man, with a blue apron, had knocked him down, robbed him of ten guineas, and afterwards cut his flirt at. On searching About the steps where the mast lay, eazor was found, covered with blond, which he denied having eve.- before seen. He hail his neck-handkerchief in his coat pocket, without the slightest appearance of blond on it. This, he said, had been tern from him, by the person who robbed him, and cut his throat. He had a watch in his fob, and a small boa with some trin kets in it, in his breeches pocket, the flap of which was buttoned. Shortly before his death, which to k place at about eight o'clock in the morning, a young woman arrived, who was to have bean mar ried to him in a very short time. She stated, that she had not seen him since Wednesday last, at which time he had fourteen or fifteen pounds about him ; they had 4 slight quarrel, and be left her rather discontented. Before he expired. he was removed to St. Cle ment', work-house, where he nos- lies. until the Coroner's Inquest shall be held on him. Ile niss rather a well-dressed man, and, we nu. derstAnJ, his name was Clay. ST.IIIFORD. Nov. I. On Saturday night seven French prisoners of war, leuured by the dark and stormy state of the weather, succeeded in escaping from confinement at Nerinaa Cross dpi, through a large hole One!! they had cut in their wood prison. They continued at tarp during Sunday; A:I. wt eight o'clock on the night of that day, a serjeant and a corporal of the Durham militia, who had obtained a furlough into the north, were sur prised, on nearing White-wester trill.ba-, to hear .e -veral men nn the road conversing in a .Ansigii lioge; and concluding that they were Frenchmen who hall escaped from prison, they resolutely attacked them. aid, after a short confliS, secured two of them. Five others escaped. Upon being marched ins• Stam ford, and lodged in gaol, those taken were friend to he a French naval Captain and a Midshipman. an account of whche escape from Norman Cr,,, . had been 1 ortsished to the Mayor. On Monday night. two othcis were taken near II yhall toll-bar, who had secreted themselves in Utfington Thicker during the previous 24 hours, without any food, and were really starved into a capitulation. The remaining three are yet at large, as well as several others. who escaped on Tuesday night from the same &poi. Three men were, in Tuesday morning, observed, by a fisherman, loitering on Friesian shore; he, very praise.worthily, immediately seized and cam dated them to Boston, where they confessed that they escaped from prison, on Wednesday, the 23J ult. and hoped to have procured a vessel, at Fries. ton, to convey them to the Continent. They were sent back to the barracks under a military escort.
