An Orl)er of Council was agreed upon by His
1%1 crone on Wednesday, and will appear in this
veniug's C.azette, for tsking off the Embargo from
all ships and ver.sels.

Tha CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. last
imlnuitted the Supplies, slid Ways and
Mesas, 'for the 'ear, ¶ tilgatly called the Budget.
We have Oven a fall account of it in oar Parlia-
mentary Report. There are to be no new taxes,
but the interest of the Loan is to be provided for
by mortgaging the War Tries, sod the produce
ari*lng from a consolidation of the customs, and
iinprerement in ill.. collection of the duties.

liaised by MONAPAILTL of Course our prin-
cipal imam* of information upon Gat most nate-
rtiting subject ; and after calmly and reflectively
comparing them with the map of Bsvaria, end ad-
mitting that the ground work of all his sit-berted vic-

torus is consonant to fact ; we see SO reason for de-
spair, unless tlit Hoare of Austria is false to itself.
CVs must nevertheless srlinit,that in the lapse of m any
ages, so forptitlable a Chief as NAPOLEON, endow-
ed with so aunty of those wonderful and rare quali-
ties, which nature seldom dispenses to one many
has 'scarcely ever arisen. While we abhor and
stigmatize his perfidy, his insatiable atabitina, his

avociotpo and liysteinalical violations of ull the ties
that can bite! kings or nations. let us do justice to
his sublime talents in the Cabinet and in file Field.
Never hare they been more strikingly exemplified
unit exerted. than within the last few weeks !

When wr ennsidur that he only quitted Paris on I

evening of the 16th, he was at Dilliugenin

and confirmed on the throne by his vietorism,
he proceeded on the fullowiug day to In-
galdstadt ; we are ,wallowed up in astouislan eat.
Well may he say to his soldiers, as-be did in his
first proclamation, " I come with the ►apidity of

Ins adopted as hie y►ubol, seems alone capable of
expreswing the velocity of his mnveinents, sod the
energy of his soul. In fact, we find him on the

Tia, bctsvi en Neustadt and Ilatisbon, tb the south
of the Danube. It is, however, obvious, notwitli-
stautling his ingenious attempts to conceal it, that
he did not dare to trust to the fidelity or adherence
of the Bavarian ■od Wirtemberi !reaps that
day, unless he personally superintended, and led
them on to the charge. He did sO; as Cassw.
or as I:REMAKE THE GREAT would have as-
suredly acted in a similar situation. Ile was
net rssitsted to hentognf; them before the at-
son bean; the Prince Royal of •BAVeavt being
made to interpret and tnuislate into Gilman,
the Corsican EIIirEROE'S speech. A more hurnili-
utin4 office could not easily have been chosen for
the son of a Soverelgn ; but, unquestionably NA-
ro LEON retained him near his own person on that
day, exactly as our Ricitsan Jed young STANLEY,
at the hattle of Bo :co-nth. Ile was an hostage for
Ins lather and his countryman, whom 11411APRETE
could not trust. •In fart, we do not hear of any
serialisations or 'nark, of applause that followed the
. harangue, of which honourable mention would cer-
tainly have beau niade in the Bulletin, if any such
testimonies of approbation hail been exhibited. The
bottle was, however, as we arc informed, soon termi-
nated ; and on the following da), the Conqueror at-
tacks and carries Landslint, a large &vitriol) town
on the river Iseron the direct road from Ratisbon to
Munich. So far his movements were all forward
'ones. But, while N A Portion thus proceeded in his
victorious career, he seta)s to have committed an
• error, in not leasing a sutliciait corps to defend the
bridge across the Danube,at Batiste'''. Upon this

one thousaad French troops of the both Regiment,

taint%) by the Austrians, in the first moments of the
campaign. With his characteristic rapidity, Bona:-
eaten, sensible that he could not advance towards
Munich or Vienna, while the AactsoultE was be-
hind him,'and master of the bridge over the Di-
:ibe, instantly marches at the Austrians, whom he
finds drawn up at Eckmnul, not far from Ratiabon.
A great battle ensues, in which, it is'evident, that
the Austrians were worsted on the 23d, and on tha
following day the French regain lisitisbon, after a
very obstinate resistance, and, no doubt, a propor-
tionate loss on the French side, whatever at-
tempts are made to conceal, or to deny it. But
the • result of this victory is only, that the
AICRDURE is compelled to retire to the aortA of
the Danube, while the enemy remains master of
the country to the synth of that river; and, con-
sequently, of the nearest road to Vienna, through
Mulddorf, Bruunau, NVells, and Lintz. In fact, we
are that the Coastcsn's sole object into posh on by
forced marches towards. the Austrian capital, so us
to arrive there heroic the Archduke CUARLEs.
For that purpose, we see, that not losing an hour,
while he sends NIAsSENA along the southersi.baisk
of the Danube, to take possession of Straubing and
Passau, he himself bad pushed on, and established
his Dead-quarters, au the 37th, at Muldclorf, a La-
Italian town on the river Inn, upon the great road
front Munich to Vicuna. Yet it appears, that on lb,
2Jtli, three days subsequent to the victory at Eelto
multi, an Austrian corps, beyond Neuinarck on the
Inn, attacketi the Bavarians there posted, and pros
ably defeated them, fur, they are only said "to
have preserved their positions." From these premiss
eA, divesting them of exaggeration, it follows that
tile Austrians have been defeated, and that Bottha
P.:STE is nearer to Vienna thou the Aacitoukas
No doubt be will strain every nerve to reach that
city, in hopes of terrifying the Emperor Paaacts
again to make a peace. If he cau carry that poiati,
all is over. But unless the Cabinet of Vienna is
more base, more pusillanimous, and more besotted
thou was Cita aLas IV. himself, they will refuse
all terms. The Earning has only to retire into
Hungary Nartipios wiU then find that cam-
