THE TOUTICAL SITUATION Of AUSTRIA,
*VD
THE IN TRIGUES OF REVOLUTIONARY FRANCIS IN
TN PT COUNTRY.

It. was bet:Oise fashionable in Tune, several
years WON the revolution, not only among the no-
bility sad clergy, but - among the people, to
serllll*! to the alliance with Austria ad political dis-
asters I and to the unfortunate Queen Maria An-
toinette, as an Austrian Arch-Duchess, all finan-
cial --harms:menu, though chiefly caused by the

American war. by the exwavagance of

former reigns, and by the ignorance or treachery of

the Ministers of Lags XVI. When, therefore, the
rebellion in 171 e, permitted French intrigues, or

spies in the pay d irussia. to publish populAt ru-
mours as !Asterism' fags. without punishment or
mestradiegon. the house of Austria was assailed with
libels, and its provinces. in Italy and in the Low

Countries, intmdated with emissaries and revolt'.
tiesuny propagatdn, disseminating disaffation, and
reaching insurrettions. The consequence was, a

milk is &abant and Flanders, in dale:ice of their

religions privileges, whie.h. they. pretended, had
loses invaded by their sovereign. the Emparor Jo-
sephus 11. in the suppression of some few of the

naiserous convents in those countries. Tt was a Cu-

rites soveky to see the fanatical Roman Catholics

ammo Austrian provinces. -allied with the fanatical
Atheists of France, combatting for the same cause,
according to their manifestoes. though the former

were ereflini new convents and other asyla, for
esperstition. whilst the latter were selling, confis-
miring, and demolishing. not only convents, but
ourehes; and when their allies in Brabant and

1) es, headed by Van Eupen, were carrying
priests in triumph, Frenchmen, diretted by the Ja.
@aim, prescribed aemAlly the preachers and the
!oaring of the Christian Religion.
The abenreties *ad contradittions of this union,
among rebeisef so very opposite principles, did not
diminish its Att. It obliged Josephus 11. to con-
elude a peace with the Ottoman Porte, and give up
Sigrid,. lad other conquests upon the Turkish
frontiers, to enable himself to reconquer and pre-
serve his hereditary dominions entire. Death, how•
ever, put an end to his career, and it was reserved
fee his brother, Leopold 11. to &ice his misled sub.
jells of the Low Countries into obedience. No
sr
sovereign, front %charade?. as well as from inclina-
tion, was more desirous to live and reign in peace,
this FOIM.e. Hence. hk impolitic endurance, in
1791, tithe insults offered by French rebels. to his
diem and Inotherirs-law, the King and Queen of
Trmee, at their arrest near Varennes. during their
jemmy to Paris, and during their imprisonment in
the Castle of the Thuilleries, by the despicable
traitor. La Payette. Hence the defenceless state of
the Low Gantries. when, after his death, the Bris-
setimafattiss. in April, 1792. declared war against
his sett and successor, the present Emperor, Francis
11. Home the disasters of the campaign of 1792,
and the little elk& from the great expenses and
brilliant exploits of the following campaigns; be-
cause the republicans were become fully acquainted
with those vulnerable points of Austria, where it
might be attacked with equal car: and advantage.
The wisdom of our ancestor; in their negoia-
ions with Louis XIV. and the necessity of the
treaty, were never more evident than dur-
ing the last war. Holland :night still have pos.
',seed its independence. had Ilelgium and Glanders
retaieed those stroug forts, which so often retarded
the progress of French armies. under a Conde, a
Tomos. a Luxemburgh, a Villars, and a Field
Marshal SAM Rut this was not the only diff.
catty Austria laboured ender. It had almost as
*mch to dread from the treachery or jealousy of its
Pressian Ally as IMP/ the intrigues and arms of its
tfat ; and it is more than probable, that if
i:lisad always remained neuter, Austria would
have continued videctious, or, at least, never expe-
rienced so great humiliations and defeats.
After the treaty of Bade. concluded in the spring,
1793. had fully exposed the selfish and degrading
prey of the Prussian Cabinet, Austria, in the
autumn of the same year. 'hewed all Europe
what it would do single handed, by driving from
the I:..sf.k.s of the Danube those numerous republican
armies commanded by Jourdan, putsuing them to
the other side of the Rhine, and in sixteen days
gaining eight vittories. It cannot be too often re-
peated. that French political intriguers are more to
be apprehended than the French republican and
'military satellites. An intrigee at Vienna lost all
the fruits of this glorious campaign of General

about the treaty of Leoben in 1797. and Preserved

dilated the peace of Camp Forms, dissolved the
Congress of Rastadt, obtained the dishonourable
capitulation after the battle of Maringo, and com-
manded the notes' dishonourable peaceof Luneville.
French intrigues at Vienna prevented Austria

from resenting, in 1797, the destruZtion of the Re-
public of Vienna; in 1798, the invasion of Swit-
zerland and Egypt, and the insulting provocations
of the Grenadier Ambassador Bernadotte in the
Austrian capital. french intrigues at Vienna
again prevented Austria from opposing, in 1802.

ionaparte's usurpation of the Chief Magistracy in
Italy, and a second attack on Switzerland, and in
1803, his occupation of Hanover. French intriguers

Are now employed to engage Austria to endure
Bonaparte's late invasion of Germany and his mur-

der of the Duke of Enghien ; am!, should they suc-

ceed, and the virtuous Francis 11. salute tle atroci-
ous Napoleon the Fir* an equal, Europe will be

Convinced that the Cahinet of Vienna is as much
under the influence ef that of St. Cloud, as thwe
of Berlin and Madril; and an universal revolution
upon the Continent cannot be far distant.

It is, however, to be hoped that His Imperia,
M.ljesty will remember outrages, unheard in history,
which he has to avenge, and that not only his

rank, but his blood, the welfare of his subjeas, a,
well as the safety of Europe, require that a stop be
put to French crimes and encroachments, to chassis?

the assassins of Maria Antoinette, and to deliver

the continent from the most cruel and disgraceful

of all bondage, that of a revolutionary tyrant.

whose ambition is as unbounded as his aas are fe-
rocious. Francis 11. must besides remember, that

the acquisition of Venice, Istria, and Dalmatia,
afords but an inadequate compensation for the
murder of an Austrian Princess, for the loss of so
many armies. for the aggrandisement of a rival
house, and for the renunciation ot Lombardy,
Tuscany, and the Netherlands.
The peace of Lumen'e cannot be called but a tem-
pestuous trace, darkened by distrust, broken by
French provocations, and protraaed by endless nego-
ciatrons and intrigues. Austria is now returned to
the situation in which she was after signing thepreli-
minaties at Leoben, and is pressed between the neces-
sity of recurring to arms, or subscribing to all the
•
usurpations that have taken place fur these three
years past, and sitting down invested upon a frontier
Of a hundred and eighty leagues, by the arsenals,
flying legions, and colonies of the revolution. Not-
withstanding the losses experienced in the ar-
mies and territories of the Austrian monarchy,
this oppressive crisis has proved the extent of its re-
sources. It has supported the war fourteen years
successively, faced all points, sacrificed armies to the
defence of the empire, and tho Ugh two provinces
are lost, which, from their distance and situation,
could not be saved, the body of the state has re-
ceived no injury. It is matter of admiration and
surprise how mild and an sppressive have been the
means by which vs long, expensive and bloody a
war has b•en supported. Economy, carried to an
extreme on several occasions, a habit of order, and as.
exsl responsibility, have made up fir the smallness
of loans, and the inadequacy of tile usual taxes.
Before three ye u s after the end of most destruaise
campaigns, the Aus.rian trtny :s renewed to a full
war complement, better disciplined than ever, ani-
mated with zeal, and consisting 380,000 men.—
Never were people more attached :a their sovereign, or
more disposed to defend him ag.tinst the attempts of
a plundering and greedy tyrant, a ho spreads calamity
and despair over the earth in every dircaitn. No
state is securer by the allegiance of its subjeas ; and
their habits, their charaacrs, are uninfluenced by
the rage of novelties. The Austrian has known
the revolution only by its efea : he has repelled it
from sentiment and by instinet, and be dispises the
principles of it. This nation, which, in the middle
of the last century, gave so fine an example of devo-
tion to the house of its Sorreign, appears ready to
renew it. The &mpers'. not having made a hanZle of
his criti cal situation, to adopt sc vere measures of public
sacrifices, or to enfoi ce them arbitrarily, now mps the
fruit of his moderation, and will experience the elf: a
of it, if the war be renewed. Austria balances at this
moment the destiny of 'the continent. Succours
from Russia are certain, and its own armies are at
t'seir posts ; but, unfortunately, negotiators and
intriguers have not quitted theirs. Can it, how-
ever, be expeaed, that Boniparte will lower his
pretensions, or that the Court of Vienna will re-
traft its pride, its foresight, and its measures ?
We do not comprehend, and of course do not im-
peach, the reasons er its late procrastinations, but
their tfeas are visible to every one. Italy, day
after day more aggrieved, is also more enslaved.
It still offers resources, but they will grow wEaker
by delays. Following its example, . Switserland.

. _

having no more hope of a deliveter, has ree weal
the yoke against which she has been defendin7 her.
self in vain, and, from a deserted auxiliary, will, in
another year, become the fixed satellite of France.
The organisation and completion of this conquest
will prepare the way for the next invasions into the
western provinces of the Austrian Monarchy; the
only military position which promises it successes,
and support will be lost, and for ever. The most
memorable experience will have been thrown away,
and for the third time Austria will suffer itself to
be anticipated, surrounded by shoals, and deprived
of decisive advantages. In some few weeks, this
terrible problem will be resolved, and Austria, with
England and Russia, will either be saviours of the
continent, or itself, sooner or later, be buried in
the ruins of so many other states, Republics as well
as Monarchies.

LON DON,
SATURDAY, ALGUST

We learn by the Carmarthen, lately arrived from
Bencoolen, that it was on the Ist December last,
Li Nuts appeared off the Island of Sumatra, at Poolo,
ar.d that the actual loss su,tained on the occasion,
by the East India Company, was estimated, by the
Government there, at 60,0001. and the loss on the
part of individuals was considered as much greater.
The cargo of the E/ita Ann, captured by Liao's,
was valued at a lack of rupees, and a considerable
loss was occasioned by the destruction of the Fiore
and Marldarouvs, which ships were btuned to pre-
vent their falling into the hands of the enemy.
LtNots did not leave the Bay of Poolo, till the s;h
December. The loss we understand to have been
considerably increased by the refraCtory consiu& of
the Malays, and other natives of the Island, who,
immediately after t)te departure of the French, pil-
laged every thing that came within their reach, and
it was not without great clifliculty they were re-
duced to a state of subjedion, by the vigorous mea-
sures of the Bencoolen Government. Litsots was
not at Bencoolen, as reported; and me understand
the condua of his officers, alto were sent on shore,
at Poolo, was very honourable, paying 1O- lost
every article of the supplies which they required
from individuals, and respeaing what they con-
sidered private property. The Carmarthen left Ben-
coolen in March last.

The whole of the Jamaica fleet may be hourly
expecgod. They were left, to the number of nearly
IGU s 4, all well on the 23d ult. in lat. 42. 36. long.
4!..5. by His Majesty's ship Abundaisee, one of
their convoy. The ships for Bristol arrived iu the
Bristol Channel, on Wednesday.

A variety of reports were circAtted yesterday re-
speaing the course which Sir Fa:AS:CIS Bußom
means to pursue, in consequence of his recent &-
feat. Some say, that adions to a very large
amotint have been commenced against the SH •
rats. Others, that Sir FRANCIS meanc to petition
a:oinst the return. We could not, however, trace
these rumours to any authentic source. They may
be probably only devices to break his fall, and take
cif the edge of disappointment. It was also re-
ported last night, that Lord DI:NC A HNON had re-
ceived a letter from authority, stating, that 11:s
M ‘JCST Y has no farther occasion for his services, as
Colonel of the Mary-la.bonne Volunteers.

Letters from New-York, of the 14th July, re•
ceived in town 'yesterday by the dfiexander, Voss.,
st ito, that a fatal duel took place upon the 12th, be-
tween Colonel Botta, Vice-President of the United
States, and General HA MILTON, of New-York.
The e vise is said to have been Lt a political nature.
General HAMILTON was but through the body,
and died on the second day after. He bore the best
political charaEter in the United States, next to the
late General Wasuirtorom ; and his loss is univer-
sally regretted by all ranks and parties in
America. —By an order of the Corporation
of New-York, there was a total suspension
from business, also the Jay of his interment. All
the bells were rnutil!J, and rang a sole.tin peal, at
intervals, during the whole day. Mr. P. P. Va-
rgas was second to the Vice-President, and Judge
PENDLETON to Gene Ila•tivrom. The duel
took place at Heboken. General lia t.roN, after
he received the fatal ball, was carried across the
ferry, to the house of Colonel Ilv an. where he
died. Upon his death-bed, he solemnly declared,
in the presence of the Bishop of Ncw Yoac, his
forgiveness of all his enemies; his abhorrence of
the practice of duelling, now become so prevalent in
the United States ; expressed bis sorrow for what
had passed between him and the Vic& PacsiDENT,
and declared that be did not beat him the alighttst
enmity. The sacrament Waf then administered to

him by the Tltsuor, and he died .►itls.all that resig.
nation ant firmness that hid distrrnguished hint
through life. His son, an amibie. young man in
his 21st ye.tr, was killed upon the very spot where
the father fell, about two years ago, in a duel with
Mr. GEo. A. E AKER, who since died of a broken
heart, the•junior Mr. HAMILTON hieing been .his
intimate frier.d.

According toletters from France with the last Ham-
burgh Mails, the decorations of the Members of the
Legion of Honour have caused much dissatisfaaion
among the troops, and many duels at Paris, and in
the departments ;those who have obtained them being
insolent and proud, and those without them bumbled
and provoked ; many think, that Bonaparte will be
obliged to follow the advice of Berthier, who, ro put a
sop to these dangerous scenes, wished him to decree,
that the stars of the Legion of Honour should in
future adorn all the colours end standards of fn :ry
regiment in the army, to show that all its odi.:ers es
well as men deserve to belong to the Leg'on of
Honour, though some individuals have had more
opportunity to distinguish taemselves than others.
Any person acquainted with the puerile vanity,
and ridiculous presumption of French upstart:, [Lay
e.tsily conceive it a difficult task for the Co. sican to
gratify the pretensions of men brought up to, aril
fighting for, a delusive equality, and stidienly.C.l.'
upon to regard as superiors and p:iri'oee b
individuals, their equal. by rank and bir h, fteik
their inferiors in talents, courage, and in to d Os of
honour ; because, though some deserving men have
obtained this revolutimary knighthood, rre,,e ef
these revolutioeary chevaliers owe diet d tcoretioas
and appointments to intrigues, to crimes, uad to the
despotism crercised by Bonaparte on this as well as
on former occasions, whenever any profitable places
or ciistinc-tions were to be dispo.ed of. Half of the
members of the Legion of Htineur were for;ml'y
adventurers, assassins, or paisone s with biro is
Egypt, and the other half je chiefly curnpmcd of
regicides and criminals, who, like a Fo+.Cile,
l)avid, Barren., Roederere, Cana, hericr,
I and others, have long figuredio bloody an:.a's
of the French revolution, and have up, been •
! tested by all good citizens, for the enarmizie,
petrated by them under Marat, Roberspiarte ankl
other worthies of their own description.

It must be a pi:ay./sr incle:d to observe a
Cardinal Caprara display his star by the side of
avowed atheists and known murderers and roMscis,,
and the representative of a Pope fraternise with the.
priests and adorers of the Goddess bf Reason, and
CAI apostates of the Titeephifantlirispists. But what
must the officers and soldiiri. think when they see
Murcau transported, and Prieur, Jean Bon St.
Andre, and Jean de Brie; the murderers of this
General's father, members of Bonaparte's Legion
of Honour, to the exclusion of men who bled on the
frontiers, comleating the enemies of their country,
whilst these and other vile regicides, after murder.
ing their King, inundated France with the blood of
her best and most virtuous citizens ; who have
come powerful by wickedness, and tich by plander,
who owe to rebellion their infamous notoriety, sad
to its success their infamous rank and afilience.
Is there in the world, we do not say an eievateki
nobleman, but an industrious honest mechanic, ale
would not refuse to associate with those guilty
villains, if they were not backed by power sal
prosperity ; wretches, who now, under the arpolli-
lion of Senators, Tribunes, Leg:slators, Sec. L ivs
proclaimed the most culpable of their accomplces
an F.mperor of the French.
