lbon of them discovered the Burgher. board; 'and
took pnisession of the Royal Treasury and the magl-
zines of the town. On the same day, a depot of
great value to the king of Bavaria was removed to
tonstattee, conveyed over the Lake, ate Berrna'din-
gen in 'boats.. The insurgents having received no-
tice of this, proceeded in parties of eight or nine
hundred, under the command of the innkeeper
Rutustnut.sa of Plandewy, across the lake of Bre-
gentez, and also by Sernedingen and Pberlingen.,,--
the first of these- places .they-rnade themselves

EATURDAY, JUNG 2, 1609.,

The Pcspatehes from Sir ARTHUR WELLESLAY,
the substance of tvhiclv we yesterday laid before our
Rfaders, will appear in this evening's gazette. The
intelligence from the Southern and Eastern parts of
l'ortug4l :is important. General VICTOR has At
length made' l'.movemeN
,info Portugal, with the
inteniion, we ha-re no doubt, of effecting a diversion
in fa,vour of SouLT, and facilitating his escape. It
,bas been suiTosed by some that Vicrott advanced
either with the in tention of joining Sours, or of tak-
ing the advantage (.1 thes‘bsence of Stir 4. Wawts-
h...., 111(1 ol` forward' to-wards Lisbon ; but we
we see no grounds' yyhatever to justify this oriniop.

Sour.T some time ago felt the danger of his situation,
and applied to Nay and KRLLF.RM.SM for assistance,
which
-they were' unable to give him, and a letter
was intercepted freak. KELLERMAN to SOULT, in
which he -tells him that in the present postufe of
affairs no assistance couki be given him. If any
combined, plan .of operations had been arianged,
between VICTOR and Sauur, the latter of course "
would. not have tied in fte rapid manner he
did, but would endeav,our to occupy the atten-
tion of the British army as long as he could, in
order to favour the advance.ofNicrott. It has been
"said, in a Paper that is always uncommonly sceptical
upon the'subjea of 13rithih SOCCe3,e,, that " it would
. -
seem as if Sotrt.r's retreat had been a feint to draw
the English after him." Certainly, if it was a feint,
it was one of the most serious end extraordinary-
feints that ever was PraEtised. To abandon all the
sick and wounded, to
,destroy all the artillery, am-
munition, „And baggage, and to sutler three de-
feats, merely by way „pf a feint,,is, we balieve;
quite a new manoeuvre in military tar tics. We
are not, we trust, in the habit of deceiving our
Readers by extravagant et' 'over-sanguirte specula».
tions, but we 'have no doubt that the March of Sir
A. WELLESLEY to ;the southward Will induce Ge».
neral VICTOR to return to his old quarterset Merida.
The Accounts vary with respect to the amount of
the force 'with which Vt Ginn has entered Portugal
the highest estimate • does not inal4e it mote than
15,000 wen, a .force utterly unable to cope with the
British army in Portugal.
Sir ARTHUR, we believe, intended to be at Tomar
on the 29th ult. whore be would probably collet
the whole of Wei Arm, unless he should think it
proper to send a column by casiel -Branco. Sit
ALTIILR will be at the head of above 33,000 men;
a force. so great, That, we again repeat, we are con-
vinced. VICTOR *ill not wait its approach.

We have Made ;Mlle furihet eit,tra6ts from the
Dutct Papers arrived .cn Thursday,
,relative to tlie."
CaMpaignr in Italy. Mc' French claim '.a vietory
over the Autr:ans on the Btihrilt. at St—Daniels,
in ''Which,' tli`ey say, they took 15,00 prisoners,
among whom were twenty-six opicers.!! There are
also some details reipeaing the operations in the
Tyrol, in which it'is acknowledged that brave
Tyrolese bye obtained Most important advantages.

The Public will be highly gratified in reading the
,Speech which Mr. Rois delivered in the 4-Imre of
Commons hist night, because it is founded upon irre-
,
frdgable proof, and is in dire& contraditlion to alt
those gloomy and fallaciotis. statements which may.
nattinilly be expeaed from a Pary t ho seem re-
solved, if pofsible; to overthrow ihe•present form, of
Government; and also to tine allegations of another
set of Men, i!ho, we hope, have nothing more in
-view thtn the doWnfall of Ministers,, and the testa-
ration,, of themselves' to office. We
.reft:rn to our
'Parliamentary Report for a comprehensive outline
of Mr. Rose's excelleut, and, we are assured, accu-
rate statement of the improved condition of the coun-
try, with respea to retrenchment and ecenotny,
Compared with what it was in those boasted time to
which the Reformers invidiously allude;. In.. or-
der to excite qiiscontent,• disturbance, - and more
mischievous feelings; but we beg leave to draW
the attention of ' our 'Readers to a
,s(urnitary of
the 'great adv;eitages yvhich the nation has :de-
rived from the zeal, the wisdom, the purge.
vering industry, and disinterested patriotism of Mr.
Pm. It appears, then, from, the stamen tof Mr:
Rosa, that from 170 to t 799 the number of ()tikes
abolished amounted to 878, and.t hat tlk consequent
annual saving to' the public 1013 250;0001. Sir F.-
BURDETT spoke of The " AFentted Red Wok," and
Wished that " all the leavea vveriz :Ant out," We
leave-the public to.form their twin interpretation of,
This rhetorical figure, and to determine; whether it'
comprehended an entire demolition 'of the proem
system of government, and shall content ourselves
with referring again to Mr. Rose's Speech', •by
winch it appears 'that the -, Pettsiotr- List, .wti e -
the Reformers tell us has been enormously ittereased,
was full as gteat in i'mr, one of the ":good old
.times" which those R4orirrers so high,y 'extol ; urel
if we properly esiimatel he different value of money,
it had at,th.i t time nearly half as much! moteweight
upon the Nation, But it has been clearly proved,
that.tbegeneral retrenchment which mirk place tut.;
der, the auspice's of Mr. PITT, effeded an annual .11a•
Ong of 3,09,0001. As to Government influence,
too, which is another prolific melee /of complaint
among the Reformers, it is an interestinb!, and grail-
fying(4l; that Mr. PITT, in,. t 783, abolished at once
1013 sinecure and patent places, of which very little
was known,..iticrificing all sehish" views, nud dis-
daining all paii!opage that was not essential to the
due exercise and authority of his office.: Nor can it
bei a)leged that there are now so many persens in the
-House of,Corninents, 'bolding situations tinder the
Crown, and consequently .who might..be supposed to
be under its influeoe, as ,there .were thirty years
We may therefore :truly: Concinde, in the worAo of
Mr. Rosa, with sayirtik in opposition to all the'Op-
penents of Ministers :MCI 41 the desperate men Who
want to ptill down` the Constitution, that "Ravoam
has gone hand in hand WitAINFthIMATION)• when-
ever it was obtaleed; and that The .exertions of Go-
vt;rntileni' had never ceased to be direded towards
ihe 'firatioal and temperate (boy.,eVer, offensive the!
Ward-Might' be to the latter d*rip:tion ()linen) abo-1
lition 'of .eve ry..unnecessary trurtniin on the people
which tome within its coguizance."--
