THE BRITISH PRES:i.

LONDON,
MONDAY, Vo•cmg, a 4.

We have received Paris Pa secs to the 2-.1,, and
Dutch Papers to the 30th last. The Alo,roolo,
contain the official accounts of military opet.ci,,ns
in Germany, to the 2t st. They even etceed the
predietions of the gloomiest imagination, and an-
nounce the twat annihilation of the Austrian army,
tinder Prince rennin* no. 1.1. s A:lifting intel-
ligence is contained in the 6th, 7th, nth, and yth
Floc clear, given in our preceding columns. Al-
ter the capture of Landsberg, on the 12th, by the
division under Marshal Sou iv, he dire Red his march
for Memmingen, where he arrived early on the
morning of the 13th, with intent to turn the rig!,t
wing of the Austrian army. Meantime, t".
burg having surrendered on the 10th, p,.
Mon at had placed himself on the 1-dth, witn t
reserve of the cavalry, in front of the Austrian hes,
with the corps f Marshal Nsv direetly opposite, its
left wing at Ulm, and that of Marshal Lcosts
at Weissvinbourgh. On the 13th, the French
appear to have commenced a grand attack
upon the whole of the Austrian Lae, but particu-
larly its right at Memmingen, and i:s left At
Ulm. On the I.sth, SOUL? succeeded in his
obje 3, and took possession of Memmingen ; while
the left wing continued to m iintain hs position
at thin, with great gaiiatit•y. The rigout wing,
however, being defeated, Pounce Fiat:m.4*min ap-
pears to have alenipted to make his escape intn
Franconia, and was IMISII?d by Prince Istwtst,
who made three thousand poisoners at Linen.

leaving Mar,hal Lasses to continue the pursuit by
Aalen, while he proceeded more to the East, by
Nordlingen, with the view to intercept Prince Ft,.
/4 API D, sloould lie endeavour to gain the Austrian
tertitory. Here he surrounded the division of Ge-
net Al Wtastex, who capitulated, with seven other
Generals. It appears that nothing but the hope of
obtaining the possession of the person of Prince Ft's-
° INA ND, could justify farther putluit, as the force
that fled with him was reduced, on the 18th, to a
few followers. Soot?, after the capture of Mem-
m;ngen, on the 15th, followed the other columns,
and the remnant of the Austrian army, south of

the Danube, was forced into Ulm which now
became completely invested on all sides. The
force shut up in that city, consisted of 36,000
risen, including 3,000 wounded, under the command
of Lientenant-General Msctc. Having thus pent
up the Austrian force in Ulm, Bo'ssrsere, who
had advanci-d from his position at Augsburgb, and
direeled in person the operations against Ulm, took
precautioas to prevent its escape, and to intercept all
succour. Marshal Sout.r's division was posted be-
tween Ulm and Bregentz, to watch all attempts of
relief from the side of the l'yrul. Entrenchments
had been previously tin own op on the B inks of the
Lech, and occupied by Fre•hh detachm•nsts, which
had been posited even so far ai Fuessen ; and Bet-
ts e, advancing from Munic:s, had, on the
h, pushed his out-posts as far as Wasserbourg,
ins the Inn, and Haag, on the high road to
Brannan. Thus reduced, and cut off from all
succour, General Maca entered into a capi-
tulation, which was signed on the 1 7th.'—
It stipulated for the surrender of the place,
with all the magazines and artillery, to the French
army, aid that the Att'trian army should march
out with all the honours of war—the officers to be
scat into Austria, and the subalterns and seldie:s
into France, until regularly exchanged. But the
most extraordinary part of this agr.:emeat %vas, A
conditional clause, according to which, the.° sti-
pulations were not to be carried into efiva, until
the night of the 23th, and the Aiietriln army were
to be at liberty, should the blockade be raised in the
interval, by a Russian er Aunt ian army, to march oat
and join their deliverers. The .drib Rutethe admits,
that the place was capable of opposing a formidable
resistance, as well from the force of the garrison.
as the natural advantages of the situation, and the
strength of the fortifications. The conditional chino,
for postponing the surrender until the 23th,inclio'v
an interval of eight complete days, was groulide.:
no doubt upon the estimate that the place could nut
possibly hold out for a longer time. But if Moot
flattered himself that he had secured any chance
of safety by this condition, he grossly deceived
self. Tire same folly and imbecility that had hitherto
guided his sword, guided his pen. when he signed the
capitulation. On the 19th, Msce had an audience of
BOK AP AR rt at Echlingen, when he agteed to wave
the benefit of the conditional clause I it postponing
the surrender until the 23. h, and undertaking that
the Austrian garrison must evacuate Ulm on the
20t1s, the very next day. Mace must have been a
mailman, or an iJeor, if he thought that Boa s.
PAII re would in dt.•etly for eight days, watch-

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
ilsi I, upon the Sinks of the Inn. It w mid ill be-
come his alive and enterprising spirit, to waste
suet 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 425th. 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 ‘2l)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 unj 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.

DRUILY.L ANt.
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.

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 Nm 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.

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 fieliasr 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-

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

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-

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.
