W• bare received Paris Papers to the 29th last,
and Dutch .I,urn,ils to the lst instant. They con-
tain a great number of State Papers, of which the
first in order and importance is an EXPOSITION of
the comparative conduct of Austria and France,
si.•ce the peace of Luneville, amounting in fa,ft to a
DECLARATION Of WAR against AUSTRIA and Rus-
st4 Li this Esinsi Li on, the Freud' Government enu-
me• aces the following grievances, which, it c,mteads,
were so many just motives for war against Austria :
1. Austria did irm pay the sane rel,gions observance to
Treaties as France.
2 Fet.nAion by Auatria, contrary to Treaty, of the debts
due by Vence to it&Loect. of Milan and Mantua.

Cussion obtained ►y Aewria, of the following
,oriessions,
from the petty Princes of Gemany,.%ls. Linclats. on The Lake
of Conatz,ic the Isle of Monad, le the some Lake, Alike,: au,
from the Teetorrie Order, and a number of ether acquisitions
not named.
4. The taking, under pretence of a right paramount, actin-
eulciable sums from Switzerlaiid, which oueit to have been
reversed for indemnities.
5. Her sequestration of cettain hers in Bohemia, under pre-
tree' of compensatious due to the Elector of Saltzi
rargh.
6 Keeping recruiting parties in the Bavarian Frovincei to
Franconia and Sualsia.
7. Maintain or Austr.. towards England.

9. The pear granted to Out Iltunian beeps through the
Atistrwn Star-s.
10th and last)-, The passing of the Inn, and over tuning',
by the Xustrian triiops
the two last cannot be fairly brought into ac-
count, as they are, in fad, the commencement of
h.•srilitics by Aust-ia. 'rimy are e4'e:li, not causes.

Tie c ght orst, therefor-. comprise th- whole " front
and face of the offending." A stronger proof cannot

be coixeived of the blameless a id perfilt)y innocent
ensi.iusc.t of Austria, than what is to be Mune in th:s
indtdment drawn up against ber, Ly the Frento

C.ivernment. Unassailable, indeed, must be that cha-
raher, in which the prying !ye of TAI [AVIA 413 cart
discover only such trifling def.•:ts. It is, in fat R,
the nighest praise that could be indireftly bestowed
vi.tia it. Allowing the charges to be true, Rosa.

The Exposition, having thus enumerated the or-
ftnces of ilusttia, next proceeds to contrast then%
with the amiable, meritorious, and unoffendiiug c.sn-
clua of France. The following are the instances
which it has thought proper to aJduce:
I. France was de 'ending the cause of Enropc agiOist F. oz.
Li id, and was toal'y rneage4 in ■ maritime war.
Bonaparte, notwithstanding the Offen-vs of Austria, in
his love of peace, alutained front all complaint, and .hewed to
VbeCotill Vienni3Oilly new teattnotttei of deference.

pa.Se its Italy, we -a merely for the purpose of pony
Lic u• fireling that they lei given Urne,61111:11t0

4. B miaparte :pad it twice in hh power to deprive the House
N Austria of half no he, eirtary states, but, instead of dirnine.h-
iog, increased its power.
S. 'Ph- French Gsreritneent made profesnorts of a sineere
door, of peace to the Aunnan Mu Teter at Pans.
6. Bonaparte I'etured Austria upon the ,m,siopriety of her
cniidufl, and conjured her to desist from her military proper*.

'tons.
7. lie determined to demand from the Coto of Vi-
enna, explanation& to Nem the has,' of a negotiation, at the
Moment when Aastrit ever-ran &Tana in profcuad puce, and
thereoy put an end to all hopes of peace.
These are the principal points of the comparative
view of France and Austria, as drawn by TAL v-
AstD. We may ask now, what is to be thought of
the fairness of an article, purporting to give a faith-
ful likeness Of two states, in which every thing good
that cart be said of the ono, is contrasted with
every thing bad that can be urged against the
other ? in wt•hich virtue is not compared with virtue,
and fault with fault, but set in opposition to each
other? If I;t)NAPARTE meant to weigh himself
fairly in the scale against the Emperor of GER-
at sv, why, after enumerating the offences of Ans.
tri t, did he forget his o.vn ? Had he compared the
ac ;uisition of the Isle of Menau, a spot scarcely
v•srhle in the lake of Constance, with the an-
at.:: (lion of Piedmont, Savoy, Genoa, Parma,
and Placeraa ; the accession of Lindau, with the
annexation of Belgium. and the assumption
of the crown of Italy; had he weighed the oc-
cup.•tion of Hanover and Holland, against the
occupation of Bavaria ; and the arrest of M. Peon',
at Venice, against the violation of the territory
of Baden, and the atro&ous murder of the
Duke D'Er.outett ; which will haunt his thoughts,
and weigh its spirit down in the day of bat.
tie!—!lad the demerits of th t Powers been
thus fairly weighed, those of A-varia wools' have
&GOO kicked the beans. Except the tallary and tee
Vows, of the rsasooing in this Exposition. there is

~..

little else ..vortb notice. It condescend( to treat
Russia like England, as an isolated power, that has
little or nothing to do with the political system of
Europe, and to consider Austria as the dupe of
both, blinded by that root of all evil, the gold of
England; and deluded into the war by the crafty
ambition of Russia.
This Erpositiin is snpported by a great number
of diplomatic documents into which we cannot
now enter. Upon the movements and march
of the French troops, the _ltoni-rue is silent ;
but the other Papers state, that the French troops
of the Army of Hanover arrived on the 22d, in the
environs of Frankfo-t, and ascended the Maine, and
that they will soon be followed by the French and
Batavian army, the first division of which patted the
Rltiffle on the 24th ult. at Mentz, marched towards
Weilbach and Stinglingen, and were to be at Olen-
bach on the 25A1. The Austrians are said to have.
advanced to Btockach, and occupied Biberach ; it is
even reported, that they have entered Switzerland—
the Bavarian troops have taken a position un the
Left Bank of the Danube.

BUNep•RTC lett Paris on the 24th, for Stras-
borgh, to put himself at the head of the Army of
the Rhine.

Hostilities have not yet commenced in italy, but
both &mks of the Adige are occupied by large bo-
dies of troops.

Jamaica Papers, to the Ith of August, do nut con-

that the timely junftion of Admirals CALDER and
