We received last night the Rotterdam` Gazelle of
the. 2d inst. containing the Definitive Treaty.between
France and Austria. The terms are not very dif-
•
ferent from those. Which we have already laid before
.oar readers. .. Austria gives up, Saltzburg, a portion.
of Upper Austria as far as Lintz, Fiume, Trieste,
and all her poisessions on the Adriatic, a small por-
tioa of Bohemia, and nearly the whole of Gallicia.
Tint Emperor .of •AusTRiA acknowledges JOSEPH
I3L,OIs:AARTE as King of Spain and 'the Indies, and
•L'O.IIAP-ALITE undertakes to procure a pardon for the
t olese, who are still to remain under the dominion
of Bavaria. By this Treaty the Emperor gives up a
very large part of his dominions,- but still retains
enough to constitute a powerful Sovereign—he' re-
tains' his title as Emperor of Austria, and he retains
cipital. The glorious. result of the battle of
Aspern induced us to look forward to a very dif7
ferent conclusion of the war. We did not then
think that we should consider a Treaty of Peace as
comparatively favonrable, wlti,h lest the Emperor
lifiIANCIS in possession of him- pital and t3is
But, on the other hand, it is obvious though Buorpk-
PARTE has to a certain degree humbled his Adver-
sary, yet that he has not succeeded to the full e;tent
of his' wishes or wyeaations. The Austrian power
is not annihilated; the de-struaion of the Princes of
Lo g RAIN o has not been accomplished; the Kingdom
Of Hungary has not thrown off its allegiance 1.0 its
law fel Monalth, and accepted a Sovereign of Buo-
NAPARTE'S nomination. In a word, though it would
be ahWrri to deny that the Peace is troSt'fatourable
to France, yet it is equally plain, from all _the lan-
guage which Boo>: APARTi has held during` the War
that it is not such a Peace as he anticipated ; in short,
that he did not diaate the terms. The termination
of the War with Austria will enable BUotiap4aTE
to employ, a considerable part of his army, and the
whole of his personal attention, in the accomplish-
*tient of other objeas of his ambition. A portion of
his army,- however, and that not a small one, must
bOll remain in Qermany. AustriaiJhough beaten,
.
is not subdued and PrusSia, though still feeble
ifoin the dreadful losses she sustained; is gradually ,1
recovering a little strength. But it is in the temper •
of the People, rather than of the GoVernments of

Germany, particularly in .the northern parts, that
IitIONAPARTE finds most cause far apprehension.—
He know; that had the battle of \Vagram terminated
iu f...-;;;;- the'Austrians,. or if it had, been a drawn
tint almost. the 'whole of the north of Ger.:
'Davy- would have Followed the, example of the Ty-
rolese, and that in almost every man he would have
found an active enemy. This spirit may be kept
dOwn by overwhelming force, but BUONAPARTE is
too sagacious a politician not to knOw that it will
break forth again, the first opportunity. We find,
accordingly, thlt one of the first measufes which
.UONAPARTE adopted when peace was signed, was
to, order a part of his army to march 'lnwards
tlit: North. Large reinforcements Mi.*: be'kent also
to SiAin ; but on this service .PVONAPARTE will not
eiriploy many French troops ; his German and
Ditch vassals will be obliged to furnish troops for the
subjugation of Spain. ' The French troops bive.
been so reduced by constant 'and destructive warfare,
that they form a. smaller portion bf BiJONAPART4IS
military_ force than is generally supposed. We know
that dnring the whole of this war with Austria,
BooNArAiqo never had mare than t 2.0,000 French
troops in Germany. The remainder. of his force
was made up of the contingents of his vassal Princes,
who. were placed foremost in every contest, and
upon v.!hprin, of course, the greatcst loss fell, It is

however, riot to-be denied that the pov.retorßuovAi.
rARTE i s fortnidable; and it cannot be doubted itat
that Power will be dire6led agtinst its by every means
which a fertile imaginatiop and an impiacable malignity
cansuggest; and it is a, melancholy consideration to see
men in this-Country, at such :a time and ,in -six!) a
cri,is, not only not cheerfuly assisting in the c(mrnuon
cause, but embarrssing '.the operations of Govern-
ment, by harassing opposition and vexatious, ob-
jections: The, strength of this COutitry have
no doubt, equal to the danger by which it is menaced,
but if that strength be 'diminished by fatlious °ppd.-
sition and intestine divisions, iris impossible, to con-

teLhplate the consequences without the most gloomy
apprehensions.

An inquest was held yesterday afternoon, at' The
.Swan public-house, Piccadilly, by ANTHONY GELL,
Esq. on-thebodyof ,Thomas Soaper, ;who died on
Saturday last, at St. Georges Buspital, by the bite
of a rattle-snake. ,

Mr. Thomas Maynard, one 'of the a'ssistgnt-sur-
geons.belonging to the above Hospital, stated, the
deceased was brought 'to, the Hospital on Tuesday,
Oct, .17, about 3 o'clock.in the afternoon—he exa-
tnined the wound,- which, he was told, proceeded'
from the bite or sting of a rattle-snake ; it. appeared'
like the prick of a
.pin between the fingers of the
right' hand. The wrist and hand 'were very much
swollen, and in less than two hours the swelling had
extended above the elbow.. The:Wan; complained
of. the' most excruciating. pain; and his ,strength
sailed him. , He continued in, that state, without'
hopes of recovery, until the following .saturday,
when there appeared a favourable change, and
strong hopes wereermtertained that he would recover,
until last Thursday, when a mortification took place,
and he died at a quarter before four o'clock; on Sa-
turday afternoon, with his arm greatly swollen up
to the axilla. The arm, body and head, were
opened on Sunday, in the presence of witness, who
said tlt- it was hiit• opinion, and that of- the- Sur-
ge Ons, that his death was occasioned by the of
tlw :snake.

. Mrs. Mary Womberwellsaid, on the 17th of,
October last, the deceased came tzi her house about
IQ o'clock ; he- wets rather intoxicated
,went
away, saying he would •go home to dinner,. and
bring his wife to tea. Witness came doskit stairs,
shortly afterwads, to answer some cu,toiners; dur-
ing which time the deceased retUrited,' sayill.; he
had forgotten his umbrelltY: and aceoiditigweitt up
stairs for it. Soule time alter he came down,
shaking his hand- carelesSly, and saying that the
snake had darted at him, and his hand was bleed-
ing. Witness ordered a coach, and took Win to .
St. George's Hospital. He told the witness, that
he broke Part of his rule in teazing the snake, and.
had opened the door of the cage, to take it out. At
that time his. wrist Was swollen very, much, and he
was in great agony. The. deceased 'was well .ac-
guainted with the•nature of the snake, and knew
the danger ;" and, had be -not been intoxicated, he
could haVe got his rule out by Wean! of,the'double
door: ' .

The Jury coiisultect foiten minutes, and, by the
description of the cage,.giv,en
,by Mr,Maynard, and
corroborated hy the witness, were,: of. opinion,
that
no blame` 'could be attached to the proprietor
of the snake, it being well secured, .and returned
a special verdiCl, that the man died. -by the bite. Of
