Letters, received on Friday from Jamaica, confirm
the intelligence of an insurrection in Mexico, in conic-
quence of which the Viceroy ITUILIGITKV was deposed and
imprisoned, and FERDINAND VII. proclaimed. The cause of
this rigour towards the Viceroy is to be attributed to the
shuffling, equivocating conduct he observed after intelli- •
(Ten& had been received in the colonies of the resistance
of the mother countryto the ug-Arpation of the BONAPARTEq.
Some accused hi►n of the project of rendering Mexico an-
independant gate, of which he was himself to be the Sove-
reign ; but the general opinion went to impute to him ii,.
tcutions favourable to the pretensions of the Usurper.

WM BETWEEN FRAIWE AND AUSTRIA.

Letters of the 13th instant were received on Friday from
the Dutch coast. It is agaia strongly asserted fro►n thence,
that a war between France aad A►:stria is iiievitable. 'l'l►c
writer also requests, that the goods he had ordered might
not be sent hi►n, as their Fizz would be affected by the
co►►tinental war.

Ail the accounts from Span and Portugal coincide in
stating that a general move:neat has been made by all the
French armies towards the Pyrenees. If this statement can
be relied on, the various reports w hick have been circulatei,
for some days, relative to a war between France and
Austria, obtain the highest degree of credibility. The
concurring circumstance of Bosr Al' arc's departure for
Paris, and his rumoured arrival at Strasburgh, give this
event a still greater portion of probability. if Austria has
resolved to seize the present auspicious interval, to make
ore build and decisive push for her own independence, the
tyrant has been completely outwitted, and all his battles
must be refonght, and his marches must be recommenced,
with soldiers harassed, reluctant, and worn out ; whilst
Austria appears on the field with fresh and renovated
strength, conscious of the sacredness of her cause, and im-
pressed with the solemn conviction that this is the last ef-
fort she cant make, if unsuccessful. If hostility br...aks out in
one part of Germany, on the Danube or the Spree, it will re-
semble one extended match of gunpowder ; set fire to one
end of it, and it immediately hisses and explodes throughout
the whole extensive tract from Trieste, to Konigsberg.
This may be relied on ; that exactions and contributions
and tyranny, with their concomitant train of private and
public misery, have worked up the minds of the Germans
to a pitch bordering on frenzy ; and they are prepared to
undertake and perform every thing which despair and
rage, and a seuae of excessive outrages can inspire.
—This feeling is not confined to Austrians and Prussians;
it rages through every town and village, forming
formerly a part of the ancient Germanic Body. One
inlense sentiment agitates and consumes them all :----an
abhorrence of BONAPA RTE, as the cause of their misery,
their degradation, and slavery.
We know not who is the aggressor on this new war, though
we have reason to suppose that the aggression is on the side
of Austria. A few days will clear up our doubts and anx-
iety on this momentous intelligence ; and whatever may
be the event of a new war, we cannot but admire the pru-
dence and consistency of Austrian politics on this occasion.
some remarks in our last number may seem to contradict
this observation ; hut they proceeded from the supposition
and the fear that the Cabinet of Vienna might adhere to
its system of neutrality. That government, we cannot
deny, has displayed, during that cheerless and difficult
interval that elapsed between the Peace of Presburg and
the meeting at Erfurth, great wisdom and uncommon vi-
gour. Pressed on all sides by the armies of France,

MR. SHERIDAN.

The disgraceful subject of our reverses during the Late
campaign was discussed in the House of Commons last
night. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, the fire,
which was'consuming, that magnificent temple of the mimic
art, Drury Lane Theatre, had reflected so strong a blaze
of light into the inside of the House, that a very marked
agitation was visili!e among the members ; and the Debate
Was frequently' interrupted. At the conclusion of Mr.
Canning's eli2.iient and patriotic speech, a motion was made
to adjourn the House, as a marls of the sympathy and
interest sr hich the Members felt for the loss sustained by
Mr. SuFainAs, But that gentleman, with a magnanimity
so conspicuous in almost all his public actions, had re-
mained firm and immoveable at his post, though his whole
fortune was vested in the theatre. He declared to the
House, in a lo'w tone of voice, not so much occasioned by
the great loss he had sustained, but from the strong affect
this general sympathy eel's:A him, that however great the
sulThrings of the individual may be, he did not consider
them of a nature to ealbarrass their proceedings on so
great a national question.
That illustrious Senator lees been deprived by this dread-
ful calamity of the whole of his property ; and in quitting
the House of Commons, which he attended in the exercise
of his parliamentary functions, and which he had so often
enraptured by his eloqiierAce, astenished by the versatility
of his talents, enlivened by Ins wit, and ornamented by his
genius,—on quitting it he was literally a beggar. But the
public and.t he government cannot disregard the great and
important sers ices he • has rendered. His conduct during
the mutiny of the Nom, when the fortunes of the Empire
were suspended by a single hair, have entitled him to the
eternal gratitude of the country. During the whole tenor
of his,_public life, he has displayed a disinterestedness, an
ardent love of freedom, an attachment to the constitution.

POLItiCAL EVENTS •n zits wzer.

The 9/th and 28th Bulletins of the Trench Army have
been received in town. It appears that they have been
sent out from Boulogne by a schooner, thrown overboard
in a cask, and picked up by our cruizers.
Upon the arrival of the 25th and 20th Bulletins, we were
constrained by the internal evidence which they contained,

as well as by the probability of the circumstances to admit.
their being the genuine productions of the Tyrant of the
Continent, but we are certainly not determined by similar
reasons upon the present. occasion: In the first place, even
the French account of the lifittle of Wagrant does not
place the Austrian forces iu a sittiati-on to make suer
sacrifices necessary.—The subsequent skinnishes, are nei-
ther of an importance in themselves, or attended with results
that should have made the Annigice necessary even to the

present safety of the A Reno(' ft Fe% army.--The delay, which
BUONA PA RTE acknowledges between the ba!tle of W:igrarn
and the regular pursuit of the :tnstrian forces, is a proof
if others were wanting, that the battle of Wagram was
neither so decisive on the part of the French, or so
destructive to the Austrians, as he. wished us to
believe. What then is the conclusion we draw—our
conclusion is—Lhat we should act as if no suck
Bulletins had been received—that we should hesitato
to believe them, till conCerned by other information--;
we do not say it is so, but we strongly suspect.
these Bulletins to be manufactured. .The first part oe
the Twenty. Seventh appears to be a collection. of shreds
and patches from former Bulletins, and we do not think
it is collated in the manner of lIVOICIPA nTe or his scaraisi
upon such occasions. We think, too, that in the Twenty..
Sixth Bulletin we observe the germs of the present. The
Tyrant tells us, that Austria is brougat to a situation it.
which she will repeat the same humiliating proposals
which she exhausted after the battle of Austerlitz. The
connection which this declaration has with the subsetuent
Armistice, affords a degree of probability to the finery.
(if it be one). Admitting the possibility of this being, the
case, a variety of reasons will suggest theniselv.ei, tgl the
mind of every man to confirm the belief that the. critical
state of 11Culgit PARTS, the several ollocta which are attri-
buted to the sailing of the expedition, a desire La distract

suffered. Those bridges, and the works ottlx.,Tai.d of Wyatt,
are the admiration of the military persons of Attsiciu. They
ayow., that such works are -without exam* since the time of
the. Romans..
The A.tekduke Charles haviegsent Major-neneral Weissevoof
to compliment the Emperor, nrd since that the Bann' de Won pr.
fen and Prinee John cf Lichtenstein having come upon the same
,•ourteotts errand in his name, his Majesty hits thought proper to
send to the Archduke the Duke of -Friuli, Grand-Marshal of
the Palace, who found him at Budweis, and passed part of
• eqerday at his head-quarters. The Emperor left his camp at
/maim es t rda y, at nine o'clock in the morning, and arrived at
the palace at Sehoenbrunn, at three in the afternoon. flip
Majesty has visited the environs of the village of Spitz, which
forms the tele-de-pont of Vienna. General Bertrand. has been
charged with the execution of different works, which must he
marked out and hem tilis day. The bridge of piles at Vienna
will be re-established with the least delay possible. His Ma-
jesty has named as Marshals of the Empire, General Oudinot,
the Duke of Ragusa, and General Macdonald. The number of
Alarshals was eleven; this nomination will Make it fourteen.
There still remain: two vacancies. The places of Colonel-Ge.
neral of the Swiss, and Colonel-General of the Chasseurs, are
also vacant. The Colonel-Officer of the (Masseurs, is accord-
inh to our constitution, a grand officer of the Empire.
His Majesty has testisfied his satisfactiou with the manner is
which the surgery has been served, and particularly with the
services of the principal surgeon ileurteloup. .11i3 Majesty
passing through the held of battle on the 'lth, caused a great
number of the wounded to be taken off; and left the:u the Duke
of Friuli, Grand Marshal of the Palace, who remained all
day.

The number of wounded Austrians in our hands amount! to
twelve or thirteen thousand. The Austrians have had nineteen
Generals killed or wounded. It has been remarked as a singular
fact, that most of the French Officers, whether of old France,
or the new Provinces, whc acre in the Austrian service, have
perished. Several Couriers have been intercepted : and among
their letters has been found a regular correspondence of Gents
with Count Stadion. The influence of this wretch in the leadmi,
determinations of the Austrian Cabinet, is hereby materially
proved. Such are the instruments which England employs, like
is uew Pandora's box, to raise storms and spread poisons on the
Continent. The Duke of Itivnti's corps encamps in the Circle
of maim; that of the Duke of A sterstadt in the Circle of Bruin;
that of tke I)uke of Ragusa, in the Circle of Korn-Neuhourg;
that of Marshal Oudinot before Vienna, at Spitz; that of the
Viceroy, on Prc,bourg and Gratz. The Imperial Guard returns
to the environs of Schcenbrunn. The harvest is very tine, and
abundant every where. The army is canto::ed in a beautiful
country, rich in provisions of all kinds, wine particularly.

BERLIN, JULY IS.—The following Ens been made pub-
lic here by the Imperial Austrian Embassy:—

orticzar, BULLETIN.

On the 4th the eaerny threw a new bridge Over the Danube
From the idar.ri of Lobau. The nature of the ground and an im.
:ncuse quantity of artillery, greatly facilitated this operation.
flue Imperial and Royal army was posted on the heights behind
the Russbach, and exended its rigl,t wing to SasseobrOnn and
Itagrau ; the left to Alargraff Neutiedel. The centre was at
Wagram.
In the night of the 4th and •sth, the enemy completed the
passage of the Danube to the left !milk, and very..early in the
morning large bodies a r:,.:aretl en the plain. About mid-day all
the pints of the line of the Imperial and Royal army were at&
tacked. Tile principal effort? of the enemy were, however, di.
rected against the centre, with the view no doubt to penetrate it;
but all his attacks, repeated with the greatest fury, mid Sup.
ported by a numerous artillery, among which were several
hatteries of heavy cannon, remaining- fruitless. At 10 at night -
the 6re ceased.—The Imp.erial and -Royal army had along :Ittsi
whole line maintained its positions, and had made a great num.
her of prisoners; among whom were many Saxons; Badenese,
Italian, and Portuguese soldiers.
On the 6th, about four in thz morning, the enemy renewed his
attack, with larger mnsies and greater [cry than nit the mead•
ing day. All his elrorts against tPe centre and right winglteere
without rifett; the latter had even obtai::ed such dvantages,
that a complete victory wail exvected, when tlt enemy, with

SPORTIX6 BULLETINg.

Two races took place on 'Wednesday on the New-Cross rond, be-
t w ern Captain Aiken and 111 r. Sullivan, the former having un-
dertaken to go a mile in five minutes, and run Mr. Sittlirun r
mile„ with the interval of one minute only between the statts.
Tilt Captain did his mite in 2 seconds under the given tithe
and, sifter' resting the minute, to did the other mile in five
• minutes and t wenty-fiveseconds, and beat his adverbary by about
100 yards. The wagers were 20 guineas each.
A young Divine, in the vicinity of Edinburgh, has andertaken
for a wager of 100 guineas, to read six chapterii front the bible,
every hour, for six weeks, and actually began his arduous task
last Thursday at twelve o'clitek, when pets were ten to one
against him. We suppose the next gambling transaction we
hear of will be that his Grace the B p of has
undertaken, for a wager of one thousand guineas, to preach font*
whale sermons in twelve months.

A wager of one guinea was decided a few days ago, between
J oha Pooler, of Newport, Shropshire, and Richard liantrainds,
of Stafford, as to which of the two could make the greaternum-
ber of shoes in a week. After pegging at eke task the tOnve-
mentioned time, it appeared that the former had finished eighty-
one pairs, and the latter seventy-five! !—We conjecture that
these shoes, like the pedlar's razors—were made nest to use tut
to utl.
Mr. Rowe who has been attempting to do the Barclay match
Someesetshire, resigned the task on SaturCay, the 15th day'.
performance only having been completed. Ile has thus lost a
*take of 100 guitusai, and his health is much injured.

sistry, and the wisdom of public measures., AlioWawa,
but with extreme caution, may be admitted in consequence
of unprecidented occurrences, such as the first events of-the
French Revolution. They should he made, however, with
considerable limitations; for the criterion of human genius
is, that it rises almost immediately to a level with the most
extraordinary human occurrences. Success, in t rarnsactions
between nation and nation, when their strength is any way
balanced, is the infallible criterion of the capacity of their-
respectiie governments. When we hear, therefore, a Pill-,
nister claiming indulgence for the unfortunate, or disgrace-
ful issue of his measures, on the plea of unforeseen difficul-
ties, the honesty of his intentions, his zeal and patriotism,
it ought to be instantly rejected ; for he should not have in.
truded himself into a place of such importance, without a

full and just conviceion of his competency to meet every
event that may arise during his administration. The coun-
try has nothing to do with his intentions ;—she judges him
by the utility of his measures, and the wisdom of his coun-
sel. Were this defence admitted, responsibility would be a
complete burlesque; and every creature, who may be
raised to power by favour and obsequiousness, might claim
upon the plea of honesty and zeal, impunity ft*lbe misfor-
tune and disgrace his :folly had.occasion-ed. • The first, the
most essential, and without which every other is useless;
quality in a public Man ie capacity. • In proportion to the
' smportance of his situation, and the magnitude of hii du•
ties, this qualification becomes more indispeusible, and the.
fit. C//. • -
