was confidently rumoured yesterday that gi-eat probability arisen oC HoSiijities taking Dine betwepn this Country and the 'United States of A.aterica.

CHAMKPAGNY by'birth is what the French formerly called noble, and,-like many of that description; dn.". braced with ardour. the revOlutionary principles, but was little known till, on the concluiion of peace with Austria, in st SU 1; he was sent Ambassador to 'Vienna, Where, by a softness of manner, by a dig . nitied, yet unassuwing , carriage, he gave great satis faction. , • , , _ 'CLARK, of Irish parentage, but born in France, like the :generality Of his countrymen settled there, went along with the revolutionary current. He came not into notice till 1796. ; ke was that year employed by the Direaory to try to detach. Austria from the Coalition, which, through the interest of: some of his sountrytnen in the. Austrian service, its was supposed he might be able - to effea. Well: qua.: hilted as he was fot the busineis, 14Y:hii dexterity and : supple character, he failed in the:attempt, but re tained his . credit with 411 e. Directory. When . BONAPARTE, in 1797, became an object of their suspicion, ,and by his vi&ories in Italy,- and re peated•ptoofs of a decided enterprising . charatiter, had raised serious apnrehensionsin their minds, least ono day he might prove their ruin,. CLARK was. dispatched to watch his motions. Whether BONAPAICTE had been apprised' under-hand of CLAxmCs etrand, 'by some friendly member of the Diteetory, or, from his, natural sagacity, saw through the design,' : is not knewn, but on 12, LARK'S presenting himself, And insinuating, As the motive of his journey lialy,:thd.wish he had to serve as a volunteer; and learn:the art of war under so able a General, BONAPARTE - said to him, fc CLARK, I know what you ateconie fai, 1, give you the Choice of a comsnand in my armyi - or of a prison?' CLARK accepted of a command, and•what is no small proof of his address, while he acquired the favour of Bo- NAPARTE, he retained that of the Directory. The Direelorybeing abolished, and BorrarAtirE made First Consul, Cl.Attxwas relievedirom a very, trying situation, He Was now free to 'pay court to BONAPARTE . , . and he paid it effe6tnally. In the summer of I 801, under, colour of an Embassy to the Xing Of' Etruria, IiONAPAATE employed him as his agent to secure his Ele6tiOn to the Presidency of the Cisalpine Republic. Such a cuaimission was the greatest ,tiark of . confideuce, he could give. ' By a,, express articte of that ConstjtutiOnwhich, made him First Consul; and-which he bad sworn to .observe, he was debarred from accepting any - office in a_ fol reign State,, under pain of forfeiting all the rights of a Freneli HA, it been known that she aimed nt the Presidency of' the Cisalpine Republic before measures were taken to make that violation of the, ous,titutien'be overlooked; anotCi.Ant‘ had it . in . hia POvver'te Make it known, ''be musi,either have giveU up - the. presidency- or ,the Consulate.. this biographical sketch]; 'we• may forth some guess why CHAMPAGNY and CLARK have been called to their respective offiees. That Boi- NAI''ARTE has further views - nu Germany seems evident—that he meditates an aita'ck on Turkey is Much to be suspected. Austria, though much re dueedin power, may still give' some check to hi 4 ambition, and therefore must be more or less_at tended to in his projeami mostires, with regard to Tarkey and Germany. Whether he intends ro ca jole or to frighten:Austria into a compliance with his future plans, CHAMPAt;Nr, from the esteem he is held in at Vienna, is the most proper tool he can employ, and as such bas been selected for the situa tiol he now holds. . , I3ut why is CLARK gated War Minister ?—Ever since the French attenap;;.td, in 1/96, to invade Ireland, their . Rulers, .svhether Direatirs, obi, or Emperorg, when at war with . Ili, have had more or less in view the conquest, not the independenee, of Ireland. There is but too much reason to think that the repeatedly ill-timed ap plications of the Irish Catholics, for a further en, largement of privileges, and the fruitlessness of these :applications, not unforeseen by the applicants themselves, the restri&ive Bills judged neces s ary to the quiet of Ireland by the last and prestutMinigry, .and ,the kpeeChes ,for and Against these Dills, havq .excited a more than 'ordinary degree of attention hi BONAPSRTE cci that part of the United ZIIi• pire, , He has been told by an Irishman,' a dis tinguished, A2etnber of 'the House of Comthons, that .a'French party does 710/1! Mere exist ; and though at the same time he has been told that nis party is inconsiderable, he naturally must infer, from the precatitions taken against it, that it- is not inconsiderable. In order to give that party hopes of assistance, and thereby increase its numbers, he has placed at the head of his war „department an Irishman, who is very national, as all the Gallo-Hi bernians are, and who is known to be an able and experienced intriguer, and to enjoy and-deserve .a greatihare in liis confidence. .• BONAPARTE has been also told that a French party. does not only now exist' in Ireland; , :but has existed there from the days of Queen ELIZABETH. ' ,lt: IS to be hoped that the assertion that a French party exists . now in that country is .no better founded than thur of its having 'existed there in the reign of ELIZABETH, and 1f so, the adual existence of a French Party, in. Ireland may be said to be a chimera. According:to all our historians, ..there was in ELIZABETH'S reign hilt-eland, not a French, but a Spanish Party—a French Party was never heard of in that Country till 1688. That Bo- NAPe!4ll'ift may not, on the respectable, authority of the Hon. Gentleman above Alluded to, suppOselliat French politics have - struck their roots so deep and . wide Ireland, as from the time .they are said to have been first planted there he tnay be led to he, lieve, it is necessary to state the mattex correctly, and as history authoriies it to be 'stated. On the change of religion in England, there arose in Ireland a . party, who .fooliably' imagining that the English Monarchs had no better title to , the sovereignty of that , 'CoentrY than , what they derived from Pope Anitimes • Bull in favour of HENRY It concluded they had . forfeited their right. on their ceasing to pay t o the Pope tha same obedience which their predecessors had done. From ELIZARETICS reign to JAMES the this party aimedat a dependence, not on Spain, bet on the Pope, as Lord Paramount of Irelandin their estiniation, and,in. pursuit of this object, trusted to and received, at the Pope's solicitation, some assist• ance from Spain. In 1688, the objeet- this party had in view was to restore JANES the Second, who; by reverting to that obedience which his Catholic predecessors' had 'ac.' kuowledged to be due 'to' the Roman See, was con sidered as fully entitled to.the sovcreigntref Ireland, and their hopes of support centred in, France. Hence this party was irone time called a Spanisli'paity, another a French ,party, not from any desire in the, party to_ have their country suhjetled either to Spain' or France, but' from -.a' groundless confidence of at. , taining, through Spain and. France, as auxiliaries, the ends they had In • • • , •••CAPI 4 AIN PanClt BURRabt...---Among the vielinit to the disastrous and ill-concerted attack pp ,1311e1109 Ayres, no one has been 'more universally regretted. than Captain PERCY BunnELL, of the 6th Dragooft , Guards, who fell while gallantly leading and ani• iltating his- men. agalnst the enemy ; 'the command having devolved oU, him, on Colonel -4(tNoTot.es bee ing severely .woundect.
