LONDON,
MONDAY, °crones 2‘.
We have received Paris Papers to the 19th, and
Dutch Gazettes to the 22d inst. The former contain
the 4th and sth Bulletins of the Grand Army in
Germany. The 4th Bulletin is dated Augsburgh,
the 11th, and gives an account of a battle at Curia-
burgh on the preceding day, in which the French
were vidorious. Gunzburgh was defended by Prince
Fagot NAND in person. The place was carried, after
en obstinate resistance, and the Austrians made
three successive attacks to recover it, but all in vain.
The loss of the Austrians in thii affair, is stated at
2,300 killed, and 1,200 made prisoners. The loss
of the French, in killed and wounded, is estimated
At one tenth, or about 400. The Fifth Bulletin is
also from Augsburgh, and dated the 12th instant.
It states, that Marshal Soto.? d.feated an Austrian
regiment at Landsberg, on the 11th, and took
one hundred and twenty prisoners, including one
Lieut.-Col. and two Captains. Staticy next proceed.
ed towards Memmingen, where he arrived early on
the 12th. The Paris Papers boast that these Bulle-
tins have inflamed the courage of the Conscripts ;
and the speech of M. Persuasive, the President of
the Bank of Fraace, upon its late stoppage, states,
u the most efficacious remedy for this embarrass-
ment, the confidence which the present viCtories cf
the EMPIROIt must produce on the public mind.
These Bulletins may, therefore, be considered as the
speeches of a recruiting serjeaat, and the stratagems
of a government to avoid a national bankruptcy.
In a.idition to this general ground of suspicion which
attaches to them, they contain internal evidence of
misrepresentation. Prince Fs o trr AND, who is repre-
sented in the fourth Bulletin, at Gunzburgh, on the
10th, Is stated, in the fifth Bulletin, to have been Lt
Munich, on the 11th ; a distance of eighty or ninety
miles. According to these Bulletins, the French
army extended, on the 12th, from the Danube,
and along the Lech ; its left at Gunzburgh, its centre
at Augsburgh and Landsberg, and its right extend-
ing to Fuessen ; with SOL:LT', division advanced
towards Memmingen, with a view to torn the right
of the Austrians. If this statement be correct, the
Austrian army, which was concentrated between
Ulm and Memmingen, was cut off entirely from the
Russians, and, in a great part, from the Tyrol.—The
Austrians, however, might still tall back upon the
Lake of Constance, where they would be s.pported
by severarregiments from the Tyrol. But even here
we are not allowed to hope success, as AUGERILAU
is said to have passed the Rhine, at Huningto-n, early
in the present month, and to be proceeding with his
division. by flrced marches, for that quarter. The
Paris Papers bring the intelligence, (tom the
theatre of war, only to the 12th inclusive ; but the
Rotterdam Paper of the 21st, states, on the
authority of private letters, that a grand battle
had been fought, in which the French sustained con-
siderable loss, but finally succeded, having taken
Ulm, and the whole garrison, amounting to 5,000
men. This statement is strengthened by the arri-
val of the Prussian gaUiot, Elizabeth, of Embden,
late on Wednesday night, at Plymouth, from
Morlaix, with the Countess of ELGIN and her
suite. When the Eli:adeti sailed from Morlaix,
at a very early hour on the 23d, a telegraphic
dispatch had been received there from Paris,
stating, that Bo AAAAA r e had defeated the Arch-
duke Faantm•wei, in a pitched battle, between
the Danube and the Lech. The loss of the
Austrians is said to have amounted to 10,000, killed,
wounded, and taken prisoners—the loss of the
French is also confessed to have been very great.
There had been great rejoicings at Paris in conse-
quence of the viaory. Bon ar• ere evidently in
tended to force the Austrians to battle on the 13th
or 14th, and it is possible that news from the army
of that date might have been received at Morlaix on
the morning of the 23d ; but we think it probable
that the account received at that place related to the
battle at Gunzburgh. PARNADOTI a is now said to
have arrived at Munich on the Itth, and not the
11th, as stated in a former set of Paris papers. The
Russians had not come into action on the 12th.
The Bank of France has resumed its payments, but
on a limited scale.

of the Imperial Government was totally orradetnwe
to the proteition of the commerce cat tied on by the
natives of that country. On the sea coast sever. 1
towns bad been pillaged and destroyed; all the
trading vessels that attempted to go to sea were
plundered, and some sunk. The fisheries, by wlcch

It was said that a European vessel had been

RIOT AND ASSAULT.
Join Southerwood and JOAU COsttablt, two privates
in the ed regiment of Foot Guards, together with
Cape George Siesta of the same regiment, and Samuel
RvitiRSVII, a shoemaker, were inclided for a violent
itiot and Assault, committed on tire Bth init.
The two latter Defendants not appearing in
Court, the two former only were arraigned and
put upon their trial.
Mr. Cone, for the Prosecution, shortly stated
the case, which was fully detailed in the evidence.
Mrs. Bolton deposed. that her husband was a
pork-butcher, residing in Silver-street, Golden-
square. In the early part of the day mentioned in
the iudieinsent, the prisoner Constable came into
her shop, to purchaw the side of a ready-dressed
pig's face, for which he paid eid. and Went away, ap-
parently satisfied with his htergAin ; some time after,
he returned, with the prisoner Southerwood, and
another man, and brought back the bones of the
pig's cheek, completely picked, threw them into the
scales, making a great noise, and swearing he would
have his money back. The Witness remonstrated
a little, but finding it of no :strait; said; she would
send for a constable; and he replie.i, with an oath, he
Would stab any constable who should come near
him; he then made so much noise, she became
alarmed, and Sent for one Moody, a constable, in
Carnaby-street ; Moody endeavoured to pa:ify
them, but to no purpose ; the riot assd noise increased
to an alarming degree, and hundreds of persons were
assembled about the door. Some of the Officers
from Marlborough-street, came in, and, with great
difficulty, turned them out of the shop ; what hap-
pened afterwards, she could not say.
Mr. Moody, the constable, being sworn, was pro-
ceeding to give his evidence, when Captain Bruhl
came into Court, and advanced to the Bench, ap-
propriated to the use of the :vtegistrAte. Finns this
place he was arraigned. and pleaded—Nest Godly.
He ia:d, he was not, at that moment, prepared to take
his trial, iris witnesses not being in Court ; and then
he called their wows aloud, from a slip of paper
which he held in his hind.
Samuel Robinson, the other Defendant, then made
his appearance, and being put to the Bar, was also
arraigned, and pleaded—Ne Guiity, but wished
likewise, to put off his trial, till the next Sessions, on
the same grounds as the Captain. This application
was granted.
Captain Bruhl addressed himself to some of the
Magistrates enfividuelly; but the CMA II NI 1s: imme-
diately imeriered, observing, deit lie cuuiJ not per-
mit any conversation with the Magistrates on the
Bench. The Captain, and Robinson, then retired.
The examination of Moody, being resumed, he De-
posed, that when he arrived at Mrs. Bolton's shop, he
found a great mob about it, crying " short w,ig!et.
stinking meat, &c." The Prisoner, Constable, &-
mended to see his staff, which he pulled out of his
pocket insmediate7y ; hut the other ohjeetect to it,
saying, it was me a proper one ; and that he vaulted
justice; the witness answered, that the mariner
he was riding in was not the way to obtain it ;,;;and,
if they were soldiers, they should keep the King's
peace, Ala 1 not break it ; he then desired them to go
away quietly, but they rallied, and abused him
much. Sli nay after. he was pone.] by Gregory.
ow of the Merlhoroughestreet officers, whose staff
the soldiers also demanded, and made the sam.' ob-
jedion to, whic:i they bed done to witness's. Gre-
gory cond ded himself with extreme mileness and
temper; he clapped them on the back. called there
fine brave fellows, and endeavoured, by every flit
means, to get them our. By this time the mob had
inc,‘`AS. I to an Alarming number. Witness became
apprehensive of a very rerious riot, aitd, wishing to
prevent it, took six-pence out of his own pocket, and
laid it on the counter fortheas. With this Sautherwond
appeared satisfied, and proceeded to strap his coat,
and put on his can, in order to go Away; but Consta-
ble swore he wand not go, and must have justice.
1 he third s,lJier (who has not since been found, and
w is :tot indicted) e ideavoured to make his escape,
Our Constable prevented him. They were then
joined by two other officers from Merlborough-
street, who also were obliged to produce their staves.
The soldiers still perAisted in refusing to go away,
and the officers at list pushed them into the street.
Here the mob appeared rather to aid and encourage
the soldiers, than assist the officers, and continued to
cry out, " There's the shop sells short weight, and
bad meat." And as the witness was endeavouring
to secure Constable, he received a kick in his shins,
which continued sore to the present time. The
soldiers closing on him, he seized a stick out of Gre-
gory's hand, and defended himself as well as he
could ; but he was soon separated by the mob from
Grego., and, at that moment, the stick was wrested
from him, as he was since told, by Captain Bruhl,
who exhibited it, as a trophy of victory, in the Ma-
gistrate's Office that night. The witness then escaped
to his own house, and saw no more. The business
began about two o'clock in the afternoon, was re-
peated at four, and the mob and noise coutinued
till near twelve at night. lie never saw a greater
riot; his neighbour's windows were broken to pieces
by the fists of Constable, who also flung empty bot-
tles at them. lie did strike Constable in the head with
the stick, but he was all cut and bloody from the
broken glass. Southerwood wes not so violent, and
die third soldier made his escape early in the affray.
Captain Bruhl, with Robinson, again appeared,
at this moment, in Court, and said, his Witnesses
were arrived, and he was then ready to take his
trial.
CH411541 AN—II If the Gentlemen wish now to he
tried, we must do it ? but i would admonish them
to consult some professional Gentleman first, who
may be more competent to give them advice upon
the subjel than themselves."
Captain Bruhl--" It is a very simple cue; it is
short, and nothing in it. My Witnesses are here,
and I .on ready to proceed."
CHSI4 NI A 11—" I would not wish you should come
into it to ) hastily."
The Captain and Robinson were then put before
the Bar, and the CH I 451 AN read the evidence over,
which has already been detailed.
The Court had proceeded some length in the ex-
amination of Joseph Gregory, when, after a short
conitthAtion between Captain Bruhl and Counsellor

ANT,

Attt•; ihe latter Gentleman applied to the Court
t* postpone the trial of the two Defendants, Captain
Bruhl and Mr. Robinson, until the next Sessions,
which was accordingly granted.
Joseph Gregory then proceeded to state the cir-
cumstances welly as Moody had represented them,
urn it they were separated in the street. The Prisoner
Constable then three.- if his coat, and began to
fight. witness e•:trrated him to desist, but to no
purpose ; the mob continuing to cry out, " let him
alone ; let him alone; d—n the rascal for selling
stinking meat." Constable struck him, and cut his
mouth, which bled profusely ; he closed with him,
and the scuffle continued till he got to the corner of
Carriahy-street, there he had three r.n him at once ;
he took out his staff, but seas obliged to fly for his
lite, and took refuge in Mr. Fowler's bottle-shop ;
with great difficulty he got the door shut ; they then
began to break in the windows, a.nd throw the
empty bottles about, and lie made his escape over
the wall, through two other houses, and came
round to assist the other ci.n .tables, who by that
lime had come up. On his cross-examination, by
Mr. .611.1. a v, he said he did not see Moody strike
the soldiers.

Thomas Edwards, another constable, gave simi-
lar testimony. He said the mnb were laughing,
and noisy ; Constable kicked about ; and he saw
Moody strike him with a stick over the head; he
bled much, but was not held at that time by three
constables. Before Captain Bruhl interfered, :hey
were making a very great resistance; h► thought it
was likely to be a very serious riot, at.d he ►et off as
fast as he could to Marlborough-street.
Here the CM Allt4AN observed, that as Captain
Bruhl was not then on his trial, every thing relating
to him should be avoided.

John Warren, another Police Officer, stated, that
he was knocked down by Souilserweed, the inorne,a
he came rip; his kg was very much hurt, and be
was still under the hands of a Jurgen.).
Kennedy, Lovett, Siduey, and some others, fur-
ther corroborated the testimony given by the firmer
Witnesses.
Mr. Fowler, of Carnaby-street, whose windows
and bottles were broken, stated, that he saw Capt.
Bruhl take the stick from Moody. He knew Bol-
ton, the pork-butcher, who had lived in that neigh-
bnisrhood for many years, and always was a man
of respeetability, and of an upright and fair cha-
rafter.
Samuel Hamilton, one of the senior Police Of-
ficers of Marlborough-street, stated, that when he
and John Foy (another Officer) arrived at the place,
they found all the inhabitants of Carnaby-street,
and the adjoining neighbourhood, in the utmost
terror and consternation, shutting up their shops ;
he also found his brother officers very much oppres.
wed by the mob. He and Foy were armed with
cutlasses, which they drew, aini intimidated the
crowd. They *ate obliged to take Southerwood by
the legs and arms before they could secure him; he
was very mischievous They were obliged to exert
the most determined conduet, in order to quell the
rioters ; and he w is, for some tine-, very apprehen-
sive they would he obliged to call uut another kind
of force. In the sequel. the two Ptimneis at the
ber were secured, and brought before the Magis-
trates, w'io committed thern. .
Mr. ALLEY, in his defence for the Prisoners.
observed, that most of the persons who were ex-
amined on the part of the Ciown. were Police 01-
fleets. and might naturally he expelled to be of the
UMW story. He wotdd rather some of the inhabit-
ants had been produced, who russet hare seen the
whole transaetion. The season that Ceptai❑ Bruhl
was made a party defendert in the indietment, he
contended, was for the purpose of doing away the
beneet of that Gentleman's testimony on behalf of
the Prisoners. He insisted, that the soldiers were
not the original aggressors, but that the breach of
the peace wee first committed by the Police Officers.
Then addressing himself to the Court, in an argu-
ment of some length, be attlenetted, that Captain
Bruhl, though a party in the indictment, was a com-
petent witness to be examined for the other Defend-
ants. In support of this, he cited the case of Mr.
Home Tooke.
Mr. CoNse shortly replied, and the Court were of
opinion, that Capt. Bruhl could not be examined.
Some witnesses were then examined for the Pri-
soners, but their evidence only corroborated thee of
the witnesses for the prosecution.
Mr. Comr made a long and able speech to evi-
dence; in the course of which he stated, that the
prosecution was carried on by the parish, in which
the riot took place.
The C 14•111 AS' in summing up the evidence,
stated to the Jury. that the speech ache Counsel for
the Prisoners only went in mitigation of the sentence,
which the Court alone was competent to consider.
Their duty was to try the fad, whether the Pri-
soners at the Bar were guilty or not' When he
looked at the evidence. it appeared one of the most
dangerous riots that could occur ; and his great
wonder was, that much more mischief had not en-
sued. The conduct tof those men, in breaking down
the house. put them within a hair's breadth of a ca-
pital offence, for which they might have suffered
with their lives.
The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, found
both Guilty.
CHAIRMAN—" It is an unfortunate circumstance

to the public, that persons in the station of life of the
Prisoners, should place themselves in such a predi-
cament, at a time when their country required their
services ; but it is necessary they should suffer con-
dign punishment. It is with the greatest regret that
the Court is obliged to deprive the publi.: of their
services ; we wish that the time of their imprisonment
should be as shOrt asprorible, and f am, therefore,
directed by the Court to pronounce the sentence of
one year's imprisonment upuu each ; hut it, in the
mean time, the service requires it, application may
be made for their pardon. It is a most heinous
offence, and it is happy fur the public it did not go
farther than it has done.
The sentence of the court up an Rolert Reystfridt, fur
the cruel treatment of his children, stated in a 'Ul-
mer paper, is postponed 'till the next sessions.
The business being finished. the Jury were dis-
charged with the thanks of the Chairman, and the
sessions ends.d.

The Kisco has been pleased to appoint Lieutenant
General Marty Bowl, a to be Otneral and Com-
mander of His M ell Farces serving in the

On Monday last, an alialT of honour was sr:redid
at Bootle Common, near Liseroirol, between
Carmichael, formerly an Ajui-ant in the R
Liverp•ol Fri,iieers. under .he command of Ci •1
William Earle, an•d Mr. Edward Molts. ..fidajnr
in the same corps. l'he point of difference

former gentleman conceived himself to have re-
ceived from the latter, while serving w•itt' him in to
same regiment, hut which certain circumstances pre-
veined the possibility of bringing to an honourable
issue, till the present moment. Captain Carmichael
arrived in town from Bakewell, in Derbrshire, at a
late hour on Sunday evening, and immediately sent
a friend to wait upon Magri B. with in;:riatiiins
to lay before him his grounds of compiaint, aid to
demand eith•_•r an apology for his corn'usq, or a
meeting the next morning. Af•er aster bra tacos, the
latter was preferred, and the time and place of (17
ing were arranged between the friends of tre
ties. Lieut. Robertson, of the Ist Regiment of Liver-
pool Volunteers, afting as second to Captain C.
and Lieut. Pic':ering, of the Fusileers, second to
Major B. The distance being measured, it was
agreed that the parties should fire, on a signal being.
given, at the same instant. Capt. Carmichael fired; •
and his hall nearly grazed his opponent's ;boulder. •
!Major Brooks reserved his fire, and discharged his
pistol into the air. Captain C was no sooner aware
of this. than he insisted upon receiving his r•ppq-
ment's tire; which the latter peremptorily refused ;
at the sane tim_• stating, that he had no complaint.
against his antagonist, who, he was confident, had
aged under the influence of wrong information, and
false impressions. The seconds interfered ; a calls-
faelory explanation took place, and the parties sepa-
rated with expressions of reciprocal regard fur arch
mina's chaxarier.

THE 4?RES.

ROBBERY AT BLACKHEATH.

-~.~--

The neighbovrhooa ni Blackheath has, for some
time past, been infested by a band of unprincipled
ruffians, who have commix ted various aft a of violence
an.l outrage ; hut ta none have they shown more
brutality, or greater want of feeling, than in that
which they executed on the evening of yesterday
sfennight.
the clock had struck ten, when the inhabitants of
blorden College were roused by a violent knocking
at the outer-gate. which, after a short time, was
forced open, and several villains, armed with blud-
geons, rushed i.s with considerable force. All was
bustle, uproar, and alarm. In a.little time, how-
ever, the whole of the inmates of this charitable asy-
him were aware of the danger, and appeared in such
numbers, that the +Mains thought proper to effed au
escape iron the quadrangle of the College. 'lll.s they
with dideu!ty, and, after a violent struggle, effeeed,
and the doors were once more closed. 'I he poor old
men, however, little used to have their quiet thus
cruelly disturbed, passed a watchful and restless
night. Several shots were discharged at the
before they escaped I rpm the precinets of the College,
but, we regret to say, to no purpose. .
It is supposed that they intended to have united
the crime of sacrthme to that of robbery, by thieving
the plate and furniture of the College Chapel; as it
has since been discovered, that some of the bars by
which the window at its back is crowed, were bent,
in endeavouring to force a passage through it.
We understand that it is the intention of the Col-
lege and inhabitants of Blackheath, to offer large re-
was ds for the apprehension of the offenders, en I we
hope that it will become the obje& of the Pol ce. to
bring the perpetrators of this crime to the puaish-
mem which they so well deserve.
fhe late unhappy fate of the two criminals on
Shooter's Hill, would have been sufficient to awe any
but those wh oe minds are hardened by a continual
c•turae of vice. Hut the violent aft, which we have
just mentioned, and the many depredations corn-
mitted an the bones ;n the neighbourhood, tend to
prove the necessity of some immediate steps being
taken for the apprehension of the%fenders.

On Tuesday last, a Special .lure. composed of
Gmrlemen belonging to toe I.Vestein Division of
tne County of Eswx, met at flr.-ntwood, pursuant
to the Sheriff's summons, in order to assess the sum
to be paid by the Crown to Lady Hi ani.sv, for
the land nt her Ladysllip's manor, appropriated by
Government, on Watley Common, for the ereaion
of artillery /nag ir.;nes and baracks. Srjeant BE,T
and Mr. Wily:mum attended as Counsel for the
several parties, ai.d Sir TIECOMAS BARNETT LEN AAD
was Foreman of the Jury. After a variety of Wit-
nesses %ere ezaminesl, and the evidence summed up
by the Sheriff, the Jerry returned a Verdict of 5,0001.
damages, to be paid by the Crown to Lady HEAD-
LEY.

A tide'., of an extraordinary degree of tameness,
was brought home by Admiral RA1•1 et, in the trt-
at man of war. Ile was only conned, like a dog,
in a kennel, lashed to *large gun on the main deck.
lie never wounded a sailor on the passage. A boy,
in particular, about 14 yeas' of age, constantly
played with him, and, at times, would beat him. '
The only offence he committed on the passage, was,
a few times stealing provisions: he was brought up
to Landim, by land, and continued equally tame all
the way to town.
Monday and l'aesday last, the First, or East
Devon Regiment of Militia marched into Exeter,
from Plymouth, and have since proceeded, in two
divisions, on their ron'c to Portsmouth. It is with
much pleasure we insert the following high en-
comiums, paid to this excellent regiment by the
Generals under whose command they have so long
served: '• Lieut. Gen. Eves. *no and Major Ge-
neral Cat CRAFT cannot permit the First Devon
Regiment to quit the western distria, without ex-
pressing their great regret at their being removed
from their command, and also expressing their high
approbation of their uniform and regular good con-
dnei, while they had the honour of serving with
them, and request the officers, non-commissioned
cffic,-rs, and privates of this regiment, will be
pleased to accept their Lett thanks, as a }mall
tsibute of what is justly due to them, for their
steady and eoldier-like appearance under arms, and
their merit,,riuus behaviour on all occasions." _

On tOriday. the 13th inst. the Torridge Reg"-
meat of ifeihmteer Infantry, under the cello tad
of thY Right Hon. Loyd Roc cs, completed 'their
eh ee weeks encampment on Torrinron Common,
and marched off the ground to their respective
parishes; during which time, it is impossible for
words to express, as they deserve, the uninterrupted
regularity of clot consludt. Not a single cirattn-
stance occurred dating the period, to create a MOO.
