SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2L.

In our Paper of Tuesday last, we gave the sub-
staoce of the Declaration of BONAPARTE against
the Court of V i-nna, received on the 35th last, by
M. BACFIER, the French Charier des Afaires at Ra-
-6Csen, iitrd communicated by him, pursuant to the
orders of his Court, to the Diet. The Maniteur of
the I I th, contains this article at full length. A
fa'tf fill copy of it is given In our preceding columns.
Tuts .slanifesto of the French Government, for such
it really is, stet out with a declaration of Bon a•
P AIM'S 'pad*► dispositions towards Austria, as
evidence of which, it details several causes of com-
plaint a4ainst that Power, which he passed over in
silence. It will he seen, that some of these ttais of
Austria ate such, as BON •r•ltTr: had no just right
n complain of. and the rn jority are scarcely of
importance enough to be the cause of A quarrel be.
tvreen two parlshes, much less between two of
the first-rate Powers in Europe. But, supposing
Austria ;Ana:illy guilty of these charges, BONA
P iRTI can claim iio merit from his forbearance.
1 Its polity and obj,d are plain to every under-
itandisg. 4, Doe's interfere with me, and NI not
'int,rieie with you," was the principle of his conca&
Provided Austria passed over in silent suffering the
murder of the Duke D' Etta ti i IN, the violation of the
rights of the Germ r. Empire ; his outrages against
the law of nations. and the persons of Ambassadors;
his annexation of Genoa, and his assumption of the
throne of Italy; the Corsican, in the exct ss of his in-
dulgence towards her, would condescend not to call
her to an account for the acquisition of a few acres
upon the right side of the Pave, for suffering a few
pounds of the debt of Venice to remaio unpaid,
or sending away from Vienna his spies, and the
agents of his secret police, who lately songlit to
inflame that city into rebellion. Provided BONA,
P ARTC VIM suffered to proceed in the career of
his enormous crimes and boundless ambition, he,
in his excessive lenity, would not stop to chas-
tise Austria for doing what she had a right to
do, or waste his time upon matters more fit
for the determination of an inferior court of jus-
tice, than to be the subjen of diplomatic con-
troversy between two great nations. Having
thus boasted of what BONAPARTE has not done,
the Manifesto then proceeds to claim eredit fur
~hat he has done.—lt says, be has evacu-
ated Switserland, kept in Italy only a number
of troops necessary to maintain their present po-
sttions, and entered into a war with England, to
restore the equilibrium of commerce. But why
does it not boast that tie has evacuated Holland and
Hanover, and undertaken a war to restore the hal-
lance of power in Eutope, as well as the equilibrium
of commerce ? Flavin, in the course of this emp• y
boast of moderation and forbearance, avowed that
his usurpations in halt are for the purpsr.r of insur-
ing the evacuation of Malta and Corfu, by Eng-
land and Russia, at a general peace; the Manifesto

,P A R F, into a new wit. The iarii Papers iontain
on other article than the Note, wliieh we have been
commenting upon, and a short article from Stras-
burgh, stating, that the first column of the Armv of
the Coast is esp.:Lied to reach Strasburgh on the 13th
or 17th ; and that the divisions under 111.trshals SOVIT,
Lasmcs, Ns v, and D'A vousr, commenced their
march nearly at the same time. The conveyance
of artillery and ammunitiqn to the Austrian army con-
tinues without intermission. T!.e cimp of Wels,
particularly, receives every day fresh reinforcements.
The trchduke CHARLES is ezp -fled there, to view
the army before it is put in motion.

An Official Nntice has been published at Stras•
burgh, stating, that the E seri:nos has ordered the
Army of the Coast, to repair from the Ocean to
the Hanks of the Rhine, where the several divisions
of the army will shortly arrive. Bova PA Art is not
expcfled there until the 26th or 27th instant.
The French Funds are 53.

His Royal Highness the Duke of \ionic will com-
mand the Expedition in per .on. Camp equipage,
clothes, consisting of four new suits of Field Mar-
shal's uniform, &c. and every ether necessary pre-
paration have been made for his departure.

A Spanish corvette, of 2l guns, supposed to he
a prize to the Amazon, has arrived at Portsmouth.

Our Dover Correspondent states, that the firino

cause was not ascertained at a late hour last evening.
The Packet from Halifax has brought an ac-

The five Jamaica ships, carried into Cuba, were

they cut off eight of 11,e fl me, but could only r .p-

The Witham Pitt parted company with the fl-t,t

Thursday, the Court of Diredors rf the Bank an-
nounced their determination Migrant another Bonus

All the waggon-loads of Jolters that the Passers

It is thought that the Earl of Wieenersea, or
the Earl of PealltlOßE, will be the new Low Li Le-

The Expedition a hich sailed lately from Cork, con-
sistiqg of three ships of the lice, besides h i,2,',Ees, 19
or 20 Indiamen, and several transports, making, in
the whole, about 70 sail, we understand,is ter proceed,
in the first instance, against the Cape. The number
of troops which Sir D. BAIRD has taken with him,
amountsto seven or eight thousand ; a force more
than doubly sufficient to reduce the Cape, where
there are not more than thirteen hundred troops,
ill-appointed, insubordinate, and mutinous. As
soon as possession of that colony shall be ob-
tained, it is supposed that the chief strength of the
Expedition will make an attempt upon the Isle of
France. Ile redudion of that depot for piratical
excursions against our Indian commerce, is an enter-
prise particularly desirable. The island is in a for
midable state of defence, both natural and artificial;
but it is, notwithstanding, the opinion of well-in-
formed persons, that those difficulties are not insur-
mountable.
An Evening Paper has given the following as the
conditions upon which the Emperors of RUSSIA and
GcilMAsy will consent, and procure the consent, of
England, to a general pacification :
Is to evactiate all Italy, Piedmont, Swltzmland,
and Holland, into which, as well as Germany, on French
Troops are, upon any premixt, to penetrate The offensive a ntl
I Pic ttql • e Irreaty between Fiance and Spain, of 1796, is to be
dissolved, arid the latter kingdom, as well as Portugal, is to
have its independence restore I. The Left Rank of the Rhine,
and the Alin and Pyrenees, ate to be the boundaries of the
French Empire, which cannot, for the future, be paired in time
of peace,withinit helms considered by the Armed Neutrality, a., 11
Declaration of War. The Powers fainting the Arnie,' Neistra.
I.tv, and tne future leepte 4 Pelisestiat, are, besides Russia
and Austria, to consist of England, Turkey, Denmark, Swe
d:n, Saxony, Naplm, Sardinia, Lcimbar y, Etruria, Spain,
and Portugal. Piethwrint is tette monied to the king of Sar-
dinia ; Lombardy , with Parma and Placenta, are to he erected
into an Independent Kiagdom, in tamer of the elder branch of
the Bourbon Family Upon throe conditions, all the Confe-
derate Nimes are t acknowledge R in:merle as Emperor of the
French, and Eogland is to restore Malta to the Order, Russia
will evacuate the Sewn I.lands, and, as well as the other States,
rrsiteri the independence and guarantee the integrity of the
Turkish Empire.'
It is almost unnecessary to observe, that this is
a mere speculation.
An Evening Paper says, Yesterday se'nnight,
M. Gsort•c CAILLAUD and M. CANIILLt LAV•UD,
ton of the French prisoners of war on parole at Chen
terfield, decamped from that place, in violation of
their parole engagements, mid have not since been
heard of. The former was a wine-merchant, from
Bourdeaux, and the latter Aid-lie-Camp to General
Herr ix, and is his second Aid-dc-Camp who has
made his exit from Chesterfield, since their arrival
there from St. Domingo ; and, on the 13th ult. M.
Cesverourr. a French' Burign-debraissers, also
decamped from the wail place, and has had the
good fortune cot to be leirsted."
