cross the WM' with such * foree is be,
irresistible. But if BUOITAPA NTS is receiving'
reinforcements,- so is the Archdttlte CHARLES-
if the French army of Itaiy,has arrived near Vienna
to support BUONAPARTE, the Austrian, army of Italy
has also arrived near the 'scene of action to co-ope-
rate with the Archduke CHARLES.' That army,
under the command of the Archduke Jowl, BUO..
NAPARTB acknowledges toconsist of 30,000 men,
but we have strong reason to believe that it-consi-
derably exceeds 40,000; It has effected its retreat
from. Italy precisely upon the same route that the
Archduke CHARLES retreated in 1806. The army
of the Archduke VERDIFTAND, too, has been ordered,
to return from Poland, and to form a junction with
the Archduke Cl'ti►hLEs. Thus reinforced, we trust
that that gallant Prince will be.fully preparedto meet'
BuoNAeAter*,Whenever he shall again cross the river.
In the mean time we think there is strong ground to
believe that BUONAPARTE, in his anxiety to obtain re-
forcements, has ordered LEFEBVRE out of the Tyrol)
before his task was accomplished. We are told indeed
in these BUlletins, that the Tyrol is . tranquil ; but a
Letter from Augsburgh, dated' the 28th May, only
three days before the last Bulletin, states, that the
Tyrolese Insurgents, who still occupy Scharnitz, re-
fuse to surrender. We shall not be surprized to find
that the departure of LEFEEVRE from theTyrol, was
the signal of a new and genei'al Insurralion of the
Inhabitants. It is evidenrfrom the complaints made
in the 14th,Bulletin, that BUONAPARTR begins to
find himself pressed for provisions, and the great
reinforcements' he is receiving will certainly not tend
to lessen; that inconvenience. Upon the whole,
though we are anxious not to excite expectations
which may preye to be, too sanguine, we cannot hut
look forward with considerable confidence to the
future operations of the campaign, not for, brilliant
vietories or uninterrupted success on the part of the
Austrians, but for a balanced and protracted Slate of
warfare, which will belittle less injurious to Bee.
NAPARTE than defeat.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF PEERS.,
FRIDAY, JUNE. 16,

The LORD CHANCEI.LOR resumed the delivery of
Ids opinion on the Roxburgh Case, and after speak-
ing for onwards of two hours, postponed the remain-
der till Monday.
The Judges Salaries Bill was read a second time,
'and committed for to-morrow.
The Seats in Parliament Bill, and the Strand Bridge
Bill were read a third time, and passed.
Lord Viscount SIDMOUTII adverted to a former or-
der of the House, for an account of the number of
Licences granted to Dissenting Preachers and
Teaelieri, and having learnt that the Sicretary of
State for the Home Department had no authority to
requite a return of that descriptor), he therefore
move.l, that the Clell of the Parliaments should
tratistnit a copy Of the order. to the ,Clerks of the ,
reace, in the respeetive Counties of England and
Wales. His L rdship Oterwards, in consequence '
of some doubt, privately suggested, withdrew his
motion, and gave notice of it. for Monday.
Oil the question for 'the third reading of the Irish
Catholic. Bill", Lord Redesdale Observed, that the
4,1,1i.t which, was stippo4ed by this Bill to exist, roe.
rein% the possession of Freeholds by Roman Ca.
deities in Ireland, who had not taken certain oaths,
did not in fact exist, and therefore there was no ne-
cessity for the 88. The Bill might on the other
hand tie productive of mischief witlerespeet to pre-
-I.e.rty t.); that th.scription new in litigation. He there-
fore moved to postpone the third leading to this day
tin et: months.
Tee Eorl of HARDWICKII observed, that the doubt
had brat Stared to the' Cominittee on the Dcinegal
Eketi u. It was big. ly satisfactory, however, to
learn troei high am horny, emit there was no grourld
for the doubt, and it the Noeleand _Learned Lord
would have the goodness to turn his attention fur-
ther to the point, the question might be entirely set
at rest in the next Session.
The Bill was ordered to be read a third time this
day three months.
Adjourned till tomorrow (this day).

We made a few observations yesterday upon Sir
FRANCIS ilotorres Speech the night before, on
the question of Parliamentary Reform, but the sob-
jet* is so important in its relation to our legislative
system, and is so strenuously and so aotivelY brought
for Ward .by its advocates, that we feel it to be our
duty to say something more on the occasion.—'-the
baronet began with assuring the House that ho did
not mean at present to offer, for its immediate con.
,sideration, any plan of Reform, but he soon took
care ti) inform them, as we before observed, that he
had the old scheme of universal suffrage in view,

Although the French Belletin: which we yester-'
day received, prove that the report of the Austrians
having obtained a second vidory o 6 the 28th ult.
wils without foundation, yet we canoot but consider
them on the whole as very satisfadory. We know
that there are some persons in this country, 'who but
a forinightego would have sneered at us if we had
speculated upon the probability of the Austrians de-
feating the french in a pitched battle, yet now

rashness in the Archduke to have risqued the int-

ful and so attive an enemy. It has been said that

projea of Reform, 'he proposed to divide the coun-
try into distrias,.aed to introddoe a parochial kind
of eleaive system. Hence, of course, he is desirous
to. overthrow entirely the County Representation,.

choice of men :of extensive ',Property, men who
can be little exposed to" the influence of pe-
cuniary corruption, and who have too great a
stake in the country to pndangerit by wild and clan-
zeroes innovations. It is' not extraordinary that Sir
FRANCIS should glect to deride " whimsical specu-
lations " and " fine-spun webs," in the syitem of
Reform, for if his plan could be. carried into effeel,
there would be nothing " specurative or fine-spun,"
but thelowest degree of tumult, and the probability is,
fhat none but the most violent and vulgar Dernoeratical
charaaers would ultimately constitute the House of
Commons, and hence in a, very short period there

would besot) end to that well-organized and happily
balanced political system which has long rendered
us the envy and admiration of every other Stat&.—
The Baronet puzzled
,himuself and his auditors by an
attempt to ;thew that people were not governed by
mixed motives, in. the pursuit of. political otaje44,
but it was difficult to discoimr what relation this
moral disquisition had to the'subjed in debate, and
here he certainly fell into those " whimsical specu-
lations" and " fine-spun webs," which,he had pre.
viously held up to ridic4nle. But. the dangers of that
plan which the Baronet was suggesting, at the very

time when he disclaimed the intention to offer any
plan, are so obvious upon the )enst reflection, that
it is hardly necessary‘to add a word upon the sub.
jea. We cannot, however, conclude without ani.
Madverting to the change which has talon place in
the manner of those who' are the advocates for Re-
form, or rather innovation.' A short time ago we
,were told of the accursed red-took," and it was
vehemently 'asserted, that the only way to promote
the national interest; was by " tearing out' all
its loaves," which we mittla fa:rly presume to
be a total demolition of our established form of
Govornment;!" but now we are assured that the
'champions for Reform have nothing but the old
Constitotion in view, and that the restoration of that

, The requisition on the part of the Banking-house -
of Sir J. Liurcnce Cottor and Co. for a meting this
day, in order to declare the state of that Establish-
ment, assembled almost all the respe6table
Lion of this city, and a very considerable number of
country gentlemen—the addition of those. whom cu-
riosity or solicitude induced to attend, filled the City
Court Milne. A brief, but, satisfactory exposition
of the debts and credits of the Bank, was made on
behalf of the Proprietors, by Mr. Beamish. It was
in substance, and its accuracy was vouched L11)01)1110
very creditable pledge of Mr. Beamish's asiertinn,
that the actual engagements of the Bank with the
public amounted to tour hundred and torty•
seven thousand pounds, and to meet this stun
the securities of different descriptions, National
Notes, Bonds, Bills, &c.. -in the possession of the
Bank, amounted to four Inuldred and twenty thou
sand pounds, so that the deficiency to be Made. gn°d
in order to equalize the debts and credits was but
twenty-seven thousand pounds. For this small b3*
lance in so extensive an account, the Proprietors pro
duced a statement of real property, disposable to dis:
charge the bAtince against them, of teothousatid
pounds annual income, e,erfirming thereby to the
public an indisputably safe guarantee, greatly ex-.
ceeding what it may be necessary to appropriate to,
the ciiicharge of their debt. The Meeting felt per-
fectly satisfied with the security offered in
planatinti,; and it. was resolved, without a disse"t-
ing voice, that the Bank was luny competent to dis-
charge its obligations to the public. The feeling
which the meeting manifested placed the. Proprietors
in the most respectable andlionourvible point of vie«'•
There was as much private regard-evinced for them
as Gentlemen, as there was confidence expressed
in
their integrity and fidality as Bankers ; and' it was
in creditable recollet.tion that the liberality of tire,
establishment had averted ruin from many, 'wlwril
the contingencies, and uncertainty sometimes in:
separable from istercantile pursuits, had involve('
in embarrassment. or perhaps in distress. Cor-
responding gnod will and 'grateful impressions b"
tween the Bankers and the Public, closed
meeting in a few tninUtes by. the resolutions whit!'
wereadop:ed. The Palle. felt assured; that ttli,
claims upon the Bank would be disclurged
neetitude and honour ; and the proprietors: Of the
Bank relied confidently that their arrangem ()r
eoti ',l
discharging their engagements would be pertnitte,
to proceed uninterrupted,' under the trusteesbill
which they had been committed.
Before the ;lanai capability of the 'Bank 1.0
fil every demand made upon it was known, On'
expressed an intention to receive its notes in pat);
ment °limy kind of debt, or as an eettivstent. rl4
any specxs of property. " This disposition t°"-(40;
the Establishment was extended to distant parts, e
