.TULY 2.

The 16th and 17th Bulletins consist of frivo-
lons and unimportant details, which furnish nothing more
than the mere presumption that BUONAPARTE is condemned
to a dangerous inactivity in the very he•irt of his enemy's
country. This state of things cannot long continue. The
army of Italy is proceeding. A Russian courier has ar-
rived announcing the reinforcements expected .from that
quarter. The whole corps of Bens d'armes arc said to have
moved from tlamburgh on the 16th instant. In short,
BUONAPARTE is making that dreadful amount of prepara-
tion which leaves nothing to Providence, but the surplus-
If he should meet with such another defeat as that which
has produced his present embarrassed situation, we think
it impossible for him to recover it. The pains which he
takes to enumerate the reinforcements that he expects, and.
the :nanner in which he represents the state of the Arch-
duke FERDINAND'S army, abundantly prove that a neces-
sity exists to magnify his own and to lessen the force of his
etunny. We sincerely hope and believe this arises out of
the want of cordiality in the troops of the Federation.

The Tyrolese are in a state of general insurrection and
have not only purged their Own country of the Corsicans
satellites, but have even threatened 'Munich. This will

have the effect of occupying the attention of the rear of
his army, and we find that General WREoe is ordered hack
to Inspruck. We augur favourably too of the hopes en-
tertained by the Emperor of A USTO IA of ulterior success
from the determined spirit of the Proclamation which he
has issued, stating, that he holds Generals DU HUM EL,
FOULER' and others as securities for CUASTELLA R and those
other brave men WiIOnICUONA PA RTE has threatened to mur-

der. We have long regretted that the Austrian Cabinet
wanted the resolution to take a leaf out of BUONAPAHTE'S
book ; the politics of the old school are not suffici-
ently direct and open to meet this man. There are
but few can wear the armour of ACHILLES or throw
his spear, and we feel the danger and difficulty of
attempting it; hut the daring lines of military and political
tactics which BUONAPARTE has introduced, arc not to be
combated with scholastic riddles, or miserable expedients.
Of the 18th Bulletin we scarcely know how to express
our contempt in words adequate to our feelings. Alter
live and twenty days disgraceful inactivity, we are told
the Danube has riseu a foot. We gather as much from
what BUONAPARTE does not say as by what lie does say.
That EUGENE. BEAUHARNOIS in manceuvring in tau centre
of Hungary is mere vapouring—the details relating to
the death of Seuvr.i., and the Archduke FEIIDINAND evacu-
ating Warsaw, betray the meagre diet will) which• he is
obliged to amuse his army and the Trench nation.

The 19th Bulletin of the French Army has reached this
Country. It is dated Vienna, the 10th inst. BUONAPARTE
seems to have put his friends upon a- short literary al-
lowance, in order to give something like the appearance
of interest to , this official diet, and in order to
force events.as it were out of the lasiguid current in which
they have for some time been lazily rolling. It is ostenta-
tiously stated that the Anniversary of the Battle of Marengo
has been celebrated by the Victory of the Raab, which the
right wing of the army, under the command of the Prince
Vlcchtov, has obtained over the united corps of the Arch-
duke JOHN and the Archduke PALATINE. Whatever im-
portance this allusion to the Battle of Marengo niay reflect
upon the 19th Bulletin, we do nut feel much alarmed by
the intelligence it eomtnunicates,' and we venture to autici-
