IRRUPTION OF THE AUSTRIANS INTO BAVARIA—
BONAPARTE'S ARRIVAL AT STRAW KOH..
We have received Dutch papers to the 2i bt inst.

containing the Paris news to the 17th. The Aut.-
triaos, under the Archduke Cuss Les, hare ad-
vanced into Bavaria, and BONAPARTE had on the
45th reached Strasbtirgh, on his way to place him-
self at the head of his army in Cermany.
The die is thus cast, and that act, which
in its consequences, mutt, 'acCordiug to all
I. moan ieusoiting and calculation, either sweep
the fuee of Europe, the remaining dynasties
the noticed-line, or set souse limits to the further
1..0.4re5s of the Corsican destroyer, is eonimitted.
Low, end, fin doubt, relu.etant hesitation, the
lioll4e of Austria has preferred the chances of open
resists ore, to the humiliating endurance of further
i nsa I ts, e4oions and outrages, cu the part of NA•
101.ros. (hi the magnanimity ofthat determination,
there t enonly be nee opinioa, but, true imignanimity
must he ureter the control,' and gold:nice of iris-
or it eon ooly precipitate on misfortune.
We must, however, incline to believe, that in the
;resent Maumee, it is an effort, nol of despair, or
impatience, but a .ysteniette measure, dictated in-
deed by necessity, yet embraced from pokey and
sound reflection. If any thing could conlirtu us
in this conviction, it is the tt proclamation of the
Archduke CitAakes to the Austrian to my." We
are not onrprized that it has roused the tiger from
his den. IIori•PARTE, with laiFlialacteriltie velocity,
will be soon net the lan, or on the Danube. The
Elector of BA, ARIA, on the other hand, abandouing
hiutsich, has fled to Dillingen, while the ARM-
DUKE will probably press forward towards Lands-
but. or Stranbieg.
:c his Proclamation, that Prince has touched
eerly chord, and moved every string, which can
awaken the energies, end east the courage, or the
loyalty, of his soldiers, and his countrymen. Let
those who read it as a mere common Address from
ai Commander to his forces, erstapare it with the
E.:Toenails or Manifestos of the Court of Vienna,
in 17. N, in 1800, and is 1805. The Archduke's
aKtial •.sill be fell, not only throughout the Au-
t.um fi.ate,: it is intended and calculated for
eiser meridians. It will he received and cherished
.: Constantinople, at Kola's/slat rg, at Dresden, sod
u:Stittgard. Even st Petersburzh and at Moscow
it may produce impressions. Who does not be-
li TV@ that at Naples, at Seville, and at Lisbon, it
wilt operate? Perhaps, even at Madrid. The in-
vocation to their tt Brothers in Germany, 3 et in the
rank. of the enemy," will not be lost on them ; nor
will the expression of ts conquering a lasting peace."
se, often prostituted ill die manifesto* of Nesperiens,
be without itsdue impression. Lastly, thessissuranee
that tt Soon wilt foreign troops, in strict union with
us, attack the common eneinive." Whatever ins
terpretetion we may give to thme mysterious words,
whether they regard only the 'Turks; or whether,
as we are to believe, Prii-sia, Saxony, and
even cf...., may ereiltaally he alluded to in them,
a short tine will fully deinmistri.e.

We received Latt night Po..ni.oc,e papers to the
6th ise4. announcing the arrival oI t .ciperal HILL's
force at LlAlloll.—They also tanorai a Pm:lrina-
tint' of Graeral llaesroat► to the-Portuguese, sti-
mulating them to extraordinary exertion. In this
article, which is dated Head-quarter*, Calharia.
Acrd Y, firiverul BLUES l'Ottn eolith:mils the sur-
*ronder of Oporto, as the result of insubordination
and destanio3 arm the part of the Portuguese.—
" The great city of Oporto"—General BERES FORD
says, in this proclarnation,-4, defended by 2 1.000
men, with treucliew and redoubts, furnished with
more than 200 pieces of artillery, thus fell an easy
conquest to an enemy of little more than half the
number of its garrison." This is certainly a very
pretty sample of Portuguese valour and calm-
'Man.

We participate in common with every British
subject. to whom the glory of his country, and the
honour of the Navy is dear, in the meritorious and
fGrtunate result of the attack made ou the enemy's
squadron lying in Basque Roads. Far be it from
either to diminish or to depreciate the merits
.tr that daring, judicious, and successful enterprise !
Bat, while we thus gladly recognise and coinme-
niqrate its merits, we cannot, Ou the other hand,
rank it among those iwtm which are correctly stiled
moral eictories. Tlic ships of France which struck
their fists, were sot viper, nor could be removed.
It was necessary to hurts them where they lay ;
t. r was the destruction of the squadron by any
means approaching to total. That a Ministry.which
• bed the Tower and Park guns for the news of
the Castration of Cintra, should cause the same
deinoustration of national joy, for such an event
as the present, cannot excite surprise ; nor do
we blame it. But, whether it merited • gf,
a"ral
,illuniimitino, we have some doubt. The
certainly was thrown out, both on Friday
mid Saturday night, at all the Pubbe-Olgees.-
1 'my indeed, and the public

were given to underMaisd, th Nfisii sters expected
a general illumination; but the City or Westmin-
ster. although justly proud of its gallant Repre-
sentative, who arrived in town just in time to in-
crease the eetee. did not catch the enthusiastic
spark that bUrialt in the breast of M:siistiers, and
there was no general iSloinimation. 'rise puldie,
we think, in this *hewed their good sese.r.—Throe
tertitnoilies of exultation should be spaiingly ex-
hibited, lest, by extruding the circle, we 'scam'
its effect on the mind.
While speaking on this subject, we cannot pass
without comment the expressions in Lord (lam-
Dick's letter, relative to " the Ursine Forma sheen
towards the. King and us," on the present occasion.
We think that, in all mention* of the interpo-
sition of the DEITY towards particular kings
or nations, great judgment should he observed.
Lord GAMOIER Pap, " The Almighty's Favour to
Ills Majerty and the nation has been 'strongly
marked in the success he has been pleased to give
to the op eraions of III.: NIAJESTY'd fleet under my
command." So BON PACTS regularly says, when •
executing the most utrochma or flagitious enter-
prises. fie order* his Bishops to 'render thanks to
God, for the battles of Tudela and 01 Madrid,
gained by him over his allies the Spaniards. Be-
sides, it is very well for Lord lionxtie or Lord
MLitt:4, whenju flees-us 1709, sem HOC they
enaijuished iu adios a fleet of the enemy, and took
or killed the French Admiral, to render thanks to
God iu their letter, as the giver of victory. But
it is a different matter, to boast of "the Almighty's
favour," on having burnt four ships of the French
line, including as such the Cakutta, which is only
a 36 gun ship, loaded with flour and military
stores. We never can confound these actions, so
dissimilar, under the same deonininsition, nor af-
fix to them the same expressious of public joy and
gratitude.

The King luta been tilkase.l to appoint James
.sedgwiek, James Jacknoo, and Samuel Hose,

This was an action for an infringement of the
Plaintiff's Copyright in the sale of a song, entitled
1. fleigA ! lb!" sung by Mrs. Dickson, in the
Opera of" Two Faces a umdfr hood," and a verdict
wits obtained for the Plaintiff.
Mr. GAILILOW this day moved for • rule to sliew
cause why that verdict shouls‘not be set aside, nod
a nousuit entered. He said the fpiestion was of
great importance to music-sellers, mid was, whe-
ther a tingle rime of paper, emitaiunig a AMP! and
the music affixed to it, could be deemed obuuk,
antler time provision* of the statute of Quern Ann.
Their Lordships knew that the statute in question
was passed for the encouragement of learned men,
for writers and authors of sefal books—and to
secure a copyright in their production*. Now ne
meant to contend, thut the Along iu qitestion could
not be coustruetl a book, and coinkquentiv %%as
nut within the statute. It might he a ustloi *0,4,
but it was met a useful book ; uud the Plaiiititf had
no legal claim to copyright.
Lord Et.i.ssituaonou thought the qiiestion

Mr. Blrjelltit BEST applied fur a rule to whew
cause why a verdict recently obtained in that Court
'twilit not be set ,tide, and why the attorney fur

the plaintiff should not answer the allegations co.►-
ta:ued in certain affidavits. stating. that he had
ailed as attorney for the plaintiff, without being
an attorney in that Court ; that un his oil% iee the
plaintiff hud-arrested the defendant for viol. under
the inspreariou, that not being able to tind bail, lit
%twilit emir to a compromise rather than continue
is daratiee ; sail, that on the evidenee of his attor-
ney alone, u verdict was given for the plaintiff for
WI. although he, himself, had written to the tic-
f tidant, acknowledging that lie knew the claim► to
be unjust, aim telling the defendant how he might
defend himself against it.
Lord Chief Ji.e:iee NisoseteLD, who tried the
cast, mid, a Lady had been adduced ois the trial
•u the part of the defendant, to impeach the testi-
mony of the alvtese party. It turned mit, from
her own evidence, that she was a common prosti-
tute. liviug with the defendant, and passing as his
wife. Her evidence was altogether improbable ; and
the Jury totally disregarded her testimony. Things
might. he doubted not, be bad enough ou both
lades, but lie thought it better that they should re-
mait► as they were, rather than that more perjury
should be counnitted.—The Rule was accordingly
refused.

SIR—I 1111 e the honour to acquaint you, that,
in pet-lmning your order*, in the morning of the
10th instant, in lat. to. 39. N. long. 63. So. W.
mantling on the larbourd tack, ship's head south,
and hr rail, the Driver sloop of war under my or-
der,. about filter's or sixteen miles nearly asteru, at
balf-past ten a. n. a:tav a sad on our lee bow, and
shortly afterwards another. Ito the course of an
hour, we diecavered the ler one evidently to be an
eneiny'v frigate. and the other one 1 took to be un
Engletli brig of war dodging her.
The enemy's frigate oso malting as out bore right
up lo.;otre the wiud for a short thee, but very ream
hood, ol up nolo. At three-quarteos past twelve,
we nu•r le VIM ohtferent tacks and came to close ac-
tion, the l.loratio wearing troller the eeetuy's stem
to get 1111011 the tome tack with her. .100 the early
part of the act' the couirtry lost the vertices of
the First Lirsienitid 'Manley Hall Dixo.:, ',relate
busily wounded, aunt not luni. after, 1 am enrri to
my, that I received it revere wound in thesisimitier
by a grape shut, which obliged me to submit to
quit the Sleek : however, the service del not puffer
by that event, ots the succeedine Lieutenant the
Hon. George Douglas, fought the ship through
the netino in a moat pliant rummer, whielt coos-
tinned &loot one hour and thlity-fire minutes.
The enenty having from the beginning poi toted their
wing high, we were by tins time a complete wreck
in our attestor. sails, OINI rigging. Nato ithStanoling
the situation the enemy was then reduced to, she
died to effect her escape, which I knew woos ionises-
*dile, from the state of her rigging;, and more par-
ticularly as at that time the Superimar (the brig I
before mentioned) hailed ors, and gave eis inforose-
bon that the stram,ne rail just seen to leeward was
the ',atone. Oa the Latona's coming within gun-
shot oldie enemy and giviaig her a few rims, which
she returned, and slightly wounded a few of the
'Atone's men, she iinmeolietely brought to on the
starloontol tack, and every mast went by the board.
She proved to be the French frigate La Jun on, of
forty-four gime, and three hundred and twelity;
three men, .commanded by Mons. Augustin Rous-
geau, a Member of the Legion of IlonOur; out
from the saints roily four days, hound to Franey.
1 now detail the loss and &mange. sustained by
Ilis Majesty's ship wider ray command.
The Horatio has suffered but little in her hull,
from the reasoio already given, of the enemy's unit-
ing particularly at our moats and rigitiog, which
they effected, having noithiug else standing tint our
lower masts, much wounded, and completely dis-
mantled, all to our fooinail, and the rags of our
tneinsail.
The number of officers, seamen, and marine.; hod
on this occasion to their country and their friend*,
1111e_ by no means es:insider:46le, wheWeompareil with
the dreadful loss Of eat enemy, width I shall here-
after relate. The loss on boardthe Horatio consists
of Mr. (:etorge Gunter, noidallipinaii, and six sea-
men, killed ; Mr. Andrew Lock, boatswain, and
tveelvelMellbell, badly wounded ; Lieutenant Richard
Blakency, of the Royal Manses, Mr. Robert King,
master's mate *ix seamen, and two mariues.
slightly wounded. The lons of the enemy. as I
have before atateil, was all her lower masts; her
hull mud wonderfoilly cut up, making, in conse-
quence, a great deal of water, until the sleet-holes
were stopped.
The leafs in killed and wounded amounted to one
hundred and thirty. The Captain expiatd soon
after the victims front the wounds he received.
The gelliontry and good conduct of the officers
at -i othip's company ureter my command, I must
idols, remember with gratitude, and were I to
enter into particularrit would be endless.
To Captain Ernie, aho commands the brig Su-
perieur (one of Sir Alexander Cochouse's squad-
ron), I feel mull indebted for the very gullaist
manner he behaved. although I believe lie had
only four *mei; earronades ono hoard, earl to Cap-
tain Poiret. of the 'Atone, I shell ever feel thank-
ful for his ettertinns and activity in erecting jury
moats, &c. and potting the prize in a *ea worthy
state.
I have rock pleasure in informing von that the
kaolin appear,' a very fine ship, ant) three years
