'We yesterday' had the satisfaclion of -communi,
cat ing to our Readers, in a great 'part of our iu
tile gratifying inteliisence of the reault of 1110
attack madeupon the Brest Heet in Basque Roads„
'Ube details of that, gallant achievement we=re last night
published by Oceintnent in a 00;,etie ',grafreO
nary, which will be found. in another part of our
I).iper: A large portion of the Brest Fleet has'been
destroyed, and the retuaining ships, if not actually
dc:sti:o)ed, are in such a condition, that a long period
Dluit elapse before they can be rendered fit for ser-;.

would be as Wilk to the understanding of our
ftealers if, Viti were to expatiate on the beneficial
consAuences of a viaorywhich has nearly annibilai-
cd all the Naval'Force of France, with the exception
of the Toulon Floe, and the Squadron which lately
escaped from L'Orient.
lnunediately after the arrival of the
genre, the Park and Tower guns were fired, and at
night the Admiralty, the 1.11.6iic ()dices, and several
private houses, were illuminated. •

The Proclamation from the Archduke Ctuttuss
(which we repiint this day, because it was inserted
in only.; part of our Impression of yesterday) is one
of :the Most animataproduEtions of the kind that
has appeared fur a long period, There is no intern,.
Aerate language ; it appeals to the good sense, pa,
triotisin, and loyalty of the: People, in the moat
noble, dignified, • and inipraisive terms. l'he re-
ference to:.the nurnliers of Germans who I;ave been
compelled to fight' in the Armies of the French
Usurper; is very 'affe4ing.,, The allusion to the
triumphs ofFrance over the Austrian 'Troops cannot
but rouse their national pride; and the reeanimenda-
lion of humanity towards the conquered foe, is an
example of magnanimity which that foe will pro-
bably nem imitate:. But the most important passage
in this noble Proclamation is that which announces
the.co-operation of Foreign Troops with- Austria.
That the result of the ensuing contest May beard-
verse to Francemust be the.ardent wish of all who
wish well to national independence, and. the happi.
Ilea of the civilized world.

"MUNICH) APRIL 3.‘-.tlf' there could yet exist
any doubts reape6ting a subsidiary Treaty being con-
cluded between. Austria. and England, they would
Vanish upon its being known that at Vienna they
ire negoeiating Bills with the principal towns on
the Continent. Every where wo receive offers of
Bills on London, and the Bankers of Vienna have
distributed, on this subject, very pressing circular
letters. It has resulted from this, that BJls on Lon-
don have fallen 15 per cent. We also have to. 're-
mark, that previow to the War of 1803; the ex-
change was constantly against France and in favour
of England. Sinte that epoch we have been 3C.•
custonted to the rbntrary, but never were Bills upon
