filsjor Midler, thirty-three years of age, is the
son of Y lawyer of Pludenz. w Voralberg, whose
faintly has been resketidile for :ages. Contrary to
the wolhee of his father, he anautlested from infauey
a strung predilection fora tutlitary life, alid entered,
when very young, into the Austriau service; in
which lie has, since the year 1796, made several
carnpaigus. Is au officer, to the satisfaction of his
suptrioni. anel was twice wounded.

On the cession of Voralberg to Bavaria, he quit-
ted the military profession, and prepared to pass
the remainder of his life in peace and wpm's!, in his
motive country, and lit the bosom of his family.
Ile was, nevertheless, prevailed upon to accept the
rank of Captaio ini the militia, nit the general eats•
bliithmeut of then system in liaeatlia. lit this
parity, and as Commandant of a division, he superin-
tended the training of lot countaymen ; and souse
perceived, that they would assiduously devote their
attention to the arquiretnent of military knowledge,
if their arms were to he employed in favour of Aus-
tria, and not, as was the object of Bavaria, against
their fanner sovereign. As Major Mtillor now br-
eam r intimately acquainted with the sentiments of
his fellow-cititens. and could rely on their integrity
and silence. he advised them to make themselves as
perfect as possible in the rudiments of the military
art,as a time might soon arrive. in w►ich this profi-
ciency might not only prove advatitagetnia, but con-
tribute greatly to the deliverance of their country
from the Gallo-Banarign yoke.
This period fortunately did arrive, en the break-
ing out of the late war ; and Major Miller; as a
seldom) adherent to the cause of ju.tice, who felt
deeply latereated in behalf of religion, his nat►ve
land, his summit sovereign, and the termer happy
constitution of the country, perceived that, on the
actual commencement ofhositilities, he should have
to act an important part, to which lee was called,
not only by his birth and quatlilicatioos. but also by
the confidence and lave of his cippresseu fellow-citi-
zens, in order to release his almost ruined country
from the fetters of slavery, which Bavaria bad so
skong4y rieetted. e

The Major was the person who proceeded to
Tyrol, to concert iu what manner this release
should be effected; awl after the proper measures
had been agreed upon, be reterued. with astonish-
ing expedition, to organise the imsarrection ; in
which he was admirably seconded by iris fellow-ci-
tizens, whom he Lad trained to the use of arms.
Placing himself at the head of his courageous and
patriotic hands, he not only repolsed the Milieu).

Europe, provided with artillery and cavalry, of
both of which lie was totally destitute, after An ob-
rtioatt engagement of four hours. near Hobs-nem.;
but drove them. on the same day, with pest
*laughter, from their positions. mid out of Ins
country. to the very drawbridges and gates of Lin-
don.
• phis native land Irving now cleared of the enemy.
Major Muller took the i.; Crbliary pftCallitiMol 1., se-
care the p,..res loud positions, surd to restore the
commoincation with the Tyrolese, by way of Weil-
ler Irneuvtat to Knutty. As the enemy. who bad
tot ally eshaosted the country, knew that tae pis-
Uinta• insusge.uts were in want of curry thing, but
particufirly oininnuitiori and money, he gave them
uo time to suppty, in any manner, the deficiency
of these essential retinisitra for carrying on war, but
furiously attacked thesis on all points with a far su-
perior force. The engagement lasted from early nu
the morning till night ; and in spite of the despe-
rate attacks of the enemy, supported by artillery
mod cavalry, the Major and Ms brine couipainous
came off victorious.

As these gallant defenders of their cowutry dis-
played such courage and intrepidity in these two
amts. and tecaine accitstorned to military opera-
tions, Major Muller reaulved, iw coujitticuon with •
two of his wait intimate (mods, who had been
with hint appointed Conoselli,r. of War by the Em-
peror of Austria, to make ao iiictiraiou into the (sm-
ug . provinces of Silsbiol. Tlll6 rapedities was
andel taken both by larwl and water. By land the
brave Vortlbergra made themselves invaders of
liempten. luiy. and Wangen ; and by water, of
•the city of Constance, after as obstinate conflict.
The enemy, hoire..-r, began to attack them with a
far superior force, and especially with cavalry. which
was the more dangerous in such an open country as
5114.161 e A.:cordingly they had no other alterna-
tive thou to retire in good order, after disarming
the three alsove-nsentioneri towns, and taking with
them from Constance. siz pieces of csnnou and two
antroonition wnagons, acme hundreds of prisoners,
3tut sacks of corn, and a qusatity of wine.
The want of load was so great, as to oblige them
to have recourse to that belonging to the windows ;
and persons were employed to go from house to
hotly., to collect the old lead. The Voralhergers
likewise conceived the idea of making wooden can-
ttu; but as these would

which th-y bored with such skill, that they are not
soterior to any others.
White Major Willer and his gallant companions
were thus engaged. they received prunsi•es of rue.
cows, in ainiunuition, money, cavalry, and artil-
lery; but these et/leitattoos were not di *tined to

THE BRITISH PRESS.

1:0N DON,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 2.

We received, yesterday, a new set of Paris Pa.
litre, consisting of the Muniteur and several othere,.
but none of them are of laterahtselliau those froti
which we gave extracts yesterday. The 31:ing of
SA:toNe has set out fur his capital, probably, for
the purpose of bringing his daughter to Paris
—the ITUIGLICIA of modern days, wag is to
be sacrificed to the ambition of BONLPARCITe...
We observe, that it would appear, though the King
of WtoTEN•tfto was ordered to attend the revolu-
tionary circle of Monarchs, at Paris, yet, that his
Queen, the Princess Royal of England, was ex-
cused from such a degradation. At least, we do not
see her in the list of Corsica* Queens, enumerated
as prevent ; andoye may be pretty sure she would
not have been meted.

The American Nationsl betelligener kas been re-
ceived, containing the correspondeaoe between Mr.
Satre and Mr. Jacssom, as laid before Congress
by the I'&ESIDE ST. The first of the series is
a Letter from Mr. Evitros to the American Se-
cretary of State, relative to the refusal of the
British Government to ratify Mr. Easti vs's
agreement.—td. Mr. Smiru's Answer:--Jd Letter
from Mr. ERSILI N S to Mr. Sturm, on the same
subject.-4th. Letter from Mr. GALLATtN Jib Mr.
Easxist, relative to the Colonial Trade-sth. Mr.
Eastins's Reply. These articles we propose to
give to-motrow. The 6th and 7th we give this day,
as they bear more immediately upon the rupture of
the negociatiou. It will be seen, that Mr. Smits', in
his letter of the yth of Oct. proposes, that all further
discustaoiss should be in wiitiag ; in order to avoid
the misconceptions incideot to oral proceedings, and
that Mr. jAcrLsorr, in his answer of the 11th of Oct:
urgescertaiu objections to this plats, as depriving
hien of the fscility of access,, ant of the credit to •
which. according to immemorial usage, be was en-
titled by hi, ceedeutuils.

The more calmly and reflectively we survey the
conduct of lion araaza au (eliminating JOORP•IN
in announcing his intent of contracting a new
matrimonial alliance, and devolving his rerolit-
Seary sceptre oa lineal descendants, yet nuboru ;
theimore do we see in it a departure tram that cold,
sagacious, and Nhiehiarelian policy, which, up to
the present *era of Lib existrue.e, in every stage of
his eltwatiou, has marked his actions. When, to
this domestic convulsion ; fur such it most be
termed. however acquiescent the Bill) H A omit* le-
anly may seem ; is added the apparent decelopement
and completion a his plan to assume a new impe-
rial title, embracing Italy. Germany, and the West,
in its grasp; are rather stand amazed, than we either

so lawless. carried two execution at the same time.
We doubt w bean r either TALI.ETa.i.o. ur Stases,

enormous departures from law, morals., caution.
and all restraint, of every kind.
Perhaps of all the engines, by which N.touczott
restrained. sod held in cheek his brothers, gene-
rals. and confederates in crimes, was the uncer-
tainty and ambiguity respecting his successor.--
With admirable art, when he eoutrived to make,
sad to ascend the revolutionary throne, on which ha
seems to sit so firmly. he obtained, or assumed, by

likewise himself framed; • right to name hit snters-
