BANKS OF THE SLER, SEPT. I;.3.—The Journal of
Genoa says, that according to various letters from
Paris, his Highne3s the. Prince:of Ponte Curvo will
be placed on the throne of Portugal, and ghat the
Prince of Neufchatel will be appointed to 013 Grand,
Duchy of Berg.
ASCHAPPENBGRGH, SEPT. 17.—r appears certain,
that Marshal LANNES has gone to meet his Majesty
the Emperor of Russia, in order to receiv,:.his Ma-
jesty on the confines of his Empire, and to conduct,
him to Erfurth, where the two Emperors of France
and Russia are to have a meeting.
BAMBERG, SEPT. I,—Yesterday six regiments of
French dragoons, with a numerous battering train of
artillery, entered this neighbourhood, and were
quartered partly in the city, and partly in the neigh-
bouring villages. Another article, dates the 2d,
mentions that the baggage, artillery, &c. and the
whole of the six corps of the army, had passed
through, and that the park of artillery was sup-
posed to be destined for Coblentz. Letters froni
Heidelberg and Dresden are also full of accounts of
the march of French troops through those places.

Yesterday the Lord IVlayor, the new Sheriffs, Al-
dermen J. J. SMITH and HUNTER, accompanied by
the RECORDER and other City Officer 3, and by the
Masters and Assistants of the Ironmongers' and Mer
chant Tailors' Companies, proceeded by water, hi
the state barges, to Westminster Hall, where the
new Sheriff's went through the usual ceremony of
counting the hob-nails, and took the oaths before
one of the Corsitor Barons. Toe), afterwardS return,
ed to the City in a sitnilar procession, and proceeded
to the New City of London Tavern, where an ele-
gant dinner was provided .for them by Alderman
HUNTER, the junior Shetiff.
THE THEATRE.-11 is with much satisfa&ion we
find that success attends the transfer of the COveitt-
Garden Company to the King's Theatre.—The
Grecian Daughter had a nuniet-Ous audience last
night. Mrs. SIODONS displayed all her great talents
in Euphrasia, till she was insulted by sbtnerhing
thrown at her from the slips on the left side of the
Theatre, and which evidently depressed her, as the
outrage was not taken up by the audience as it ought
to have, been, and the ruffiah driven from the
Theatre. POPE aECitlill:ei himself very ably in &an-
der, and BRUNTON jUstly Obtained much applause
for the spirit which Marked his Phi/01es. There is
a peculiar advanta4e in this Theatre, for; -lat•ge as it
is, not a syllable is lost, even in the remotest parts cf
the house.

A dreadful fire broke out, at five o'clock 7esterdav
morninr. in the premises of Mr. 'MABERLy, Ord
nance Stares Contraaot, in Castle-qtr,.2et, Long -
Acre. From the quantity of combustible materials
on the premises, consisting of tallow and oil, FM-
terials for gunpowder, hides, &c. the flames raged
with extraordinary fierceness, and the whole of the
building was speedily burned to the ground. The
names caught the tool of the Two Angels public-
house, kept by Mr. Jones, the corner of Little St.
Martin's-lane, and soon destroyed the interior of it,'
as well as the adjoining house belonging lo Mr.
Colman, corn-chandler, in Sr. Ivlnriln's-lane. In
Castle-street four other houses were entirely de-
stroyed. There were upwards of 400 hide i con-
sumed. During the course of the day, several
casks of oil were taken out of the Wins. The tires,
raged with such fury, that, very little furniture
could be saved from any of the houses. The fire, it
is supposed, was occasioned by the bursting of one of
the coppers, containing tallow. The premises were
not insured.

On the 9, Eh of July a dreadful conflagration took
place at Brzescien, in Lithuania, iu whicia 5O houies

I;ia-rty exists not but where religion flourishes, and
man fulfils the high destinies for which he has been

me ! that I may give an impartial pitture of the
Hero that governsit, and describe what he is,' and
what Europe kas to expee of him;
_ " Let us cast a veil over the low pedigree, the
problematical progenitors of BUONA7ARTE, the de-
stroyer of all social order, and the bittereit enemy
•of the Christian name. Let us accompany him to
Italy, invested with the high dignity of Commander
in. Chief, which he acquired by the most criminal
condescension. His arrival was preceded by a multi-
- ',hay of seditious publications, which were eagerly
applauded by the unthinking populace, ever fond of
novelty. Tremble, fair Italy, .most fertile portion of
Europe, chosen mansion of Ceres and Pomona F.

. nor transmit the horrid deed to posterity. Rejoice,
3ITONAPA-RTE, in beholding the efforts of your san-
guinary operations..
SK icily speed your course to Egypt. Plunder,
massacre, and poison its peaceful inhabitants. Attire
yoursett, as a Mussulman, more easily to deceive
thern. lie!alge yourself in the exercise of the most
atroriousslespotism ; the avenging sword .of the Su-
preme Being is yet suspended over your head. The
sacrifice was not then consamed, for so it was de-
creed. The measure of ycur iniquities was not yet
fall. You had still malty innocent beings to destroy,
MO) loyal nations to overthrow.
• " You fled froM those burning regions, contami-
nated with your misdeeds, arrived in 'France, and
presented youtself before the Directory. You sues-
ceeded in intheidating theM with 'false alarms, • de-
stroy ed theireexecutive power, dispersed the repie-
Sentative deiMeils of national freedom, and was ele-
vated by your 'fellOwcon,pirators to the Consular
digeity. Your_ambit'ion was still Unsatisfied. You
aspired to decorate yourself with the perpetual Con-
sulship, asserting it to be the free gift sit the nation
over which you tyrannize. It was your satellites
and poniards that procured for you a dishonourable
majority.
" You had exerted your Self to destroy the foun-
dations of the British Constitution; but your per&
&oils instigations were listened to only in• a small
corner of pacific Ireland. And what was the result ?
, Proscriptions, desolation, and eternal haired to your
_ name and race.
"With the same infernal hiry, the same perfidious
policy, you proceeded to disunite and dissever the
antient and renowned Empireof Germany ; to at)°,
l:sh its laWs, expel or corrupt its Ele6lois, and to
• dissolve its august Legislative Assemblies, which en-
lightened and adorned so many communities by the
sanctity of their decrees.
" You now aspired to encircle ;your brow with
the Imperial diadem. A small' number "of French-
men consented to your elevation to the throne. You,
were anointed by timidity and, weakness. That au-
gust ceremony was ,cOnduded with a -studied mag-
nificence. The most servile adulation decorated the
scene. But you Were proclaimed only by ahard of
partizans. The majority of the Great Nation detest-
ed the whole of the transaElien. Tyrant, how many
fell vialitns to your cruelty, for exclaiming against so"
unparalleled an usurpation !
Yourself .the head of a family which never can
make France happy, you resolved. to raise your bro-
thers also to the posseSs4on of crowns and sceptres.
For this purpose, all .the resources of the blackest
perfidy were put in motion ; and under the specious
name of Regenerator of the. Nations, and by the ter-
ror of vont arms, you usurped from the august fami-
lies in possession, the rights of many centuries and
the kingdoms of their ancestor's ; and compelled the
people to pay obedience to men who were infinitely
distant from any claim to such successions. •
" Have Naples, Milan, Florence, Holland, so
much degenerated flora t hat-spirit of liberty of which
they were formerly so -proud • Are they sunk to
such a state of degradation, as to acknowledge for
sovereigns men alike destitute of religion and every
principle of honour and morality ? AlphenSoss, Fer-
dinand~, Cosmos, Leopolds, and Maurices, arise
from :the dead ! Cast a momentary glance over the
,wh
at
they you made happy'; compare
they then were kith what they now are; and de-
scend again fin- ever to your tombs ! •
,f Venetians, Pisans, and Ligurians, either the
accounts. which we read of your achievements in
defence of liberty are, apochryphal, or you have so
degenerated as to -be unworthy of a place in the ca-
tt,b of free States. .Awake from your lethargy !
What remains for you to lose ?
" Descendants of the immortal PENN, inhabi-
tants of the 'United States of America ! never was
"the union of every heart and hand' among you so
necessary as at the present moment, when BUONA-
TARTE, the Prince of Discord, the declared enemy
of your independence, has sworn the destru6tion of
every free people. Let your personal and party,
quarrels cease; colitbine all7qur energies against the
cinnmon enemy of the ne‘4"4.lemispliere, and you
will secure the continuance of your prosperity.
" Austrians; neither the sanCtity of oaths, nor
public faith, no: solemn Treaties, have been capable
of binding the; ferocious NAPOLEON, who has sworn

your ruin. He attacks and ravages your. territories ;
he corrupts yonr Councils, and diolates laws to you;
he grants you a Peace withoht any intention of main-
taining it, while he makes you submit to the most
prodigal sacrifices as the price of a temporary re-
spite.
Prussians, what has been the result of your in-
aCtivity and erroneous policy ? How much did you
miscarculate ? BUONAPAIITE meant only to lull you
to sleep, that Ile might the more easily subjugate yotL
He has manifested his purposes by the destroying
your armies, stripping you of your provinps,
shedding your blood in torrents, and sinking into a
Power of the second order, that colossal fabric which
it cost FREDERICK the Great so much w ere&.
" Russians ! keep yoUr suspicions alive. Confide
not in the Treaties which you'have with him. Trea-
ties are never maintained Eby an Usurper. BUONA-
PARTE is solely occupied in planning the overthrow
of every thing that stands in the way of his aggran-
dizement ; and, to accomplish this purpose, he calls
forth all the abominable resources of his Machia-
veli6M.

• ‘.‘ Spaniards ! Such is the hero who "attempts to
trample upon the Majesty of the Spanish Empire.
This "is the• mz.n wl:o, atfeding to bewail our exist-
ing condition, pretends to ameliorate it by exhibiting
'sn our august soil his brotlits4a.smr, who, for-
sooth, was to elevate us to that consideration which
.we justly merit! Great God !; Let all thy creatures
praise thee! We, Spaniards, praise theei.o Lord,
in that thou bast converted the deadly poison into a
corroborant antidote ! We 'have- frustrated and
given the fatal. blow to his •destrudive policy.—
A long sutfering, and, as he calls us, a barbarous
nation, has blasted all his projeCts. Wavering and
irresolute, he know? not how "to ad. 'He writhes
under the torture of vexation; the crimes he has
committed against Ferdinand and the.lnfants, now
viewed in their full extent, strike him, with conster-.
nation ; and his heart, incapable ofgenerons ciititri-
tion, cannot endure that remorse which incessantly
preys upon it. Pure and royal blood of the most no-
ble Goths, which has been transmitted to our Ferdi-
nand, through an uninterrupted Series of kings, re-
joice that the Spanish nation never has acknowledg-
ed., nor e,e.r will acknowledge any dominion but that
which is foupded in lawful authority. They have too
quick a sense of honour to degrade themseives into
subje6ts of a Corsician Intruder.
" GOODY ! more perfidious than Count Don
JULIAN of former times, you have_ inundated your
country with a hoide of monsters, who have re-
aded within her. territory all the horrors of the Pala-,
tinate. 'Tremble ; you,r tyranny and treason are
now near a .final- close. Do you think
.that you
will not have to expiate the spoliation of our property,
and your numerous ads of treason, by the shedding
of your impure blood ? You are much mistaken if
you flat teryourselfthatyour perfidies will be forgotten.
The spe6lacle of so many rich and fertile provinces
plundered, ravaged, and cruelly laid waste, 'will
never vanish from• our sight. The turf covers the
inanimate remains of your
,fellow countrymen; who
have fallen viditus to your treachery ; but from
their graves, they cry to heaven and earth for ven- •
geance, and they
.shall obtain it. The corrupt na-
tion that now atfords you-adasyluM, will, in vindi-
cation of its own honour, strike the fatal.blow which
your perfidious ingratitude deserves, and,your name.
will be branded with the execration of ali posterity.

" Proud Albion ! generous Island, impregnable
bulwark of liberty, land of Freeinen glory id being
the only one among the nations that has stood for-
ward with—thy generous
.courage and invincible
squadrons, to hens in and destroy that despot who
grasps at universal dominion.- Yes ! England, im-
partial Homers will hand down to posterity the tale
of thy glorious -achievements in deftnce of thy
liberty.

" BUONAPARTE! neither yourself nor yourhperr
formances can impose 'upon those who have nar-
rowly watched you., Your hireling encomiasts and
flatterers cannot mislead us‘by their soph►sms. The
creature of ROBESPIERRE, You owed your unworthy
eleVation to the reign of. terror.- You made your
troops fire upon the Parisians, and this piece of ini-

(pitons treachery procured you the hand of the
trions Mistress of BAirtAs—the first step in ,your
ascent to the Sovereignty. The most profound by-

pocrisy, the most criminal resources of despotism,

trait of humanity filled your hearts with joy, and in
his person you promised yourselves a return of the
golden age. ,At his elevation to the throne, he gave
you a proof of his paternal affe6tion, in diMiniShing
the expences of his Royal Household, in/disbanding
his guards, lightening' your taxes, .and consulting
your happiness by every possible means : and what
wa3 his reward ? Lours, a King, and the Jescend-.
ant of Kings, perished on the scaffold ; but he' still
lives in the feeling heart of every good Frenchman ;
and his good deeds and his misfortunes will occupy a
distiognished situation ih the temple of Fame.
" France ! your only stable empire,
.consisting of
that honour, glory, and humanity, which hereto-
fore were the inseparable attributes of the French
name, have beenaninhilated bya destructive anarchy.
Your sons, actuated by mistaken notions of-liberty,
which has no existence separate from religion, were
involved in excesses which future generations will
scarcely believe. You wished to be free', and the
way you took to attain your obje& • was. to dthige
every part of the empire with blood„ Amidst
the blindness of your phrenzy, the most respecta-
ble of your countrymen were brought to the bkck.
=The extraordinary efforts which you made to se-
cure your liberty, have, by thc most •fatal con-
trast, made you the captives and • victims of a Go-
vernment the most atrocious and sanguinary. Yes,
Frenchmen, you were governed by a King, who,
making honour the first of his virtues, ruled over you
in mildness; and, at the expence of great personal
sacrifices, consulted your tranquillity and happiness.
Youare now governed by a despotic intrhder, who
has deprived you of all authority, despoiled you of
your property, and bent your necks under his iron
yoke. He spares no means to gratify his cupidity;`
he enriches with your spoils a small number of 'his
creatures; and to you he leaves the inheritance of
sorrow and despair.
" Frenchmen ! suffer yourselves to be undeceived.
Yo,ur conntry can neVei be happy but by the re-esta-
blishment of your old Government. Lout is,
by right of blood, your lawful Sovereign. A series of
misfot tunes, supported with henour, have perfeeted
him in the art of knowing and governing men.. He
alone, and his royal race, can restore you to that con-
sideration which is justly due to the most illustrious
and andient empire in Europe. • Hasten to pay him
that homage which from time immemorialconstittkied
the delight of your loyal' hearts. With zealous fideli-
ty, banish all recollection of, those melancholy time's
which have .dishonoured yon, and prove to Europe
that you alOne could operate So glorious a revolution.
Your existence and that of your children imperiously
demands this of you. Soldiers ! your honour is im-
plicated on this occasion. MetuberS of the Senate,
Legislators of France, if your breasts 'retain a single
spark of patriotism, you will co-operate with the na-
tion in so laudable a cause. A.,...listers of the altar,
-unite your efforts, and impress upon the people
-that the Royal House of Bourbon only can make
France happy. Lours XVIII. trained in the ca-
reer- of honour, the constant charaderisnc of his
progenitors, loves you with a..paternal .affedion.-
-Display your loyal 'sense of so much benevolence by
proclaiming his august name.. Perish the intruder,
whose elevation has been ['be opprobrium both of
Kings and people. The horror %Oleo:with his
despotism has inspired you, ,the national revenge
which inflames your breasts, will wait for' no
other occasion to declare itself than that of seeing
hint abandoned by fortune. In Spain, loyal. Frenchi.
men, that fickle Goddess has turned her back.upon
hiM. We haVe taken urarrris..---we have'u'risheatiteci
cur swords in the defence of csurCoun try; our Religion,
and our King FERDINAND VII. whose sacred person
has been carried off front us by the most atrocious
perfidy. Imitate our example, and at the same time
tread in the footstep's of your ancestors, who were'
even lavish of their blood in defence of their lawful
Sovereigns. Think of your Condes, Tureune4, and
Broglios. Let us shake off the yoke of the Oppresor,
and we shall 'ensure an independent existence for
ourselves, with the additional zest of its being per-
petually re-produced in our offpritig. We shall _en-
joy in peke the fruits of 'our industry and commerce,
cherished by that paternal Government which is the
obje& of our wishes, and which we have a right to
expect iron) the virtues that I.oorti thlasacred persons
of Louis XVIII. and FERDINAND -VII. our. lawful
Sovereigns. The impious and destructive faMily of
NAPOLEON are already on the eve of extermination.
The Deity .with outstretched arm suspends,
O'er all the guilty race, th' avenging sword.'
" The adorable Previdence had decreed its down-
We are the instruments of his justice; )et us
obey his eternal decrees, and magnify' the. dispensa-
tions of an outraged God, who can never be offended
with impunity.
" Nations of Europe ! our cause is ydur own.
All of us have groaned under the calamities, mur-

ders, and devastations occasioned by the ambition of
a monster who aspired to universal monarchy. Let
us dired our united etfOrts against BUONAPARTE,
who seems to have been born only for the destritc-.
tiou of the human race, and we shall,be free."

The atrocious condu:',l ,f the Fiench, in Viohning
women of all ranks in the most brutal and inhuman
manner—pillaging Chuishes, and trampling on
every emblem of Religion—are such outrages as can
never .be forgotten, and must tor a series of ages,
perhaps while the world la,ts, render *the French
name detestable in Ott: .eyes of the Spaniards, thus
making altogether impracticable the renewal of that
conneetion between the two Kingdoms wl;icii Louis
the XlVtli began, and BUONAPARTE was desirous of
drawing still closer. Not only are the atrocities great
beyond descriOon, but the manner in which they
are committed is such as can never be eradicated
from Spanish memory, and serves greatly to increase
*he indignation of mankind ! '

On Wednesday as a. boy was reaching from one
