MUNICH, JULY io.—The French Minister re-
ceived last night, by Estafetie, a Note containing

some farther details, respeaing the late events, which
We hasten to communicate to the public.
WOLKERSDORF, JULY 7.—After the battle of Wa-
gram, the enemy's army is in a terrible flight. It is
pursued in all direalons. Our advanced posts are
two leagues froth Nellolsburgh. His Majesty's

head-quarters are at Wolkersdorf, on the same spot
where the Emperor of Austria was last night. This
Prince saw the confli& from the height command-
ing the village of Habersbrunn, and perceiv-
ing the battle was lost, he disappeared, and re-
turned to Brunn. The inhabitants of the coun-

try state, that the enemy's loss, in killed,
wounded, and deserters, is very considerable. The
army, which consisted of 200,000 men, was, pro-
bahly, not 45,000 under its colours. The number
of killed is rated at 36,000 Men ; the wounded are
found in great numbers in every village, and piece's
,of artillery are found in the I.vockla. Several perons
'assert that the enemy intended to Tive retreated 'to
Hungary, but the events of the day prevented them.
Some 4itaend to say, they have recognised upon
the field of baple, the bodies of 20 Austrian Gene-
rals. The nuaiber of wounded Generals is far more.
`considerable:

knoW that there resides in a corner of our county, at
a little place called Batley, a felloW of the 'name of
COBBETT, who has done all he 'could to bring us
Hainpshire folks into disgrace with all England; by
'pretending to have an influence over our opinion,
and great weight in our prOceedings.

This fellow, if you believe himself, is.the greatest
man not only in all Hampshire, but in, all the world,
and he gives himself, in a Paper which he printS

peop!e who know nothing` of the fellow bin hil own
story, are fools enough to believe that really, and
truly, he leads the county by the nose.

Now, this has for a long while 'been a great diS-
ttirbance to my mind, because, id far from being a
good Man, he is a most complete'iMpostor. 1 love
the very land of Hampshire, and its Chara6ter still

I cannot 'help thinking that all England has not a
richer or more beautiful county 'than our own, nor,
any county lionester and truer-hearted inhabitants.;
than the people of HatripThire. How thenYfriends

disgrace us, and bring •us into contempt, to write
letters to us, as if we were his private friends, and
to pUblitsh them after Wards a; if we Were his

pretty often) this impudent fellow is accused of
any mal-pradice, what- does he do, but, instead of
spewing hii innocence, he writes a long letter, ad-
dressed to 'us, as if we made corn cause with
filth, and he 'strives to -Confound-us in the contempt
which he hitnelf Universally excites.

be astonished if I Were to produce you examples of
his impudence, and you would be shocked and
frightened at sortie instances of his malignity and
yet this is the fellow who dares to couple his natue
with ours'.

Men of Harnpshire, is this to be borne ? We

No we shall shew him, and, what is better, we
shall convince our countrymen, that we are not the
fools or knaves that he takes us to be, and, as a sam-

read no more of his stuff, to take no more of his

A MAN OF lIMOSHIRE.

The Party who are so anxious to improve the Etri
tish.Constitution, upon the principles which over-
- turned the former Government in France, and-which
produced so deplorable a military despotism ktrthat
country, have made a requisition to the Sheriff of
Middlesex, and they are to assemble on Wednesday
next, for the purpbse of considering the propriety,of
Petitioning Parliament m favour of a Reform in the
Representation. Surely these men have, not read
their friend COBBETT'S Pamphlet, entitled " Ele-
mems of Reform," the only work he ever, published
• that does
,credit. to his abilities, and, indeed, the
only work in ,vlrichille has maintained principles
warranted by sound policy, common sense, and ex-
perience.
In this pamphlet COBB TT has drawn a
faithful-and spiritd' picture of modern Reformers.—
He has clearly and emphatically shewn that these
' Reformers are aanated by the lowest and basest
feelings of self-interest '(a pielnre 'indeed that faith-
fully pourtrays his own charaaer), and that nothing
but mischief, and eyed ruin, can result, if success
should attend their machinations. CoIiBBTT we know
has deserted from the principles which'he inculcated
in this pamphlet, with as little sham&as he abscond-
ed from the Court Martial which he had occasioned,
and is now" an advocate fdr the very measures which
he once so vehemently branded with all his force
and 'all his violence-. But the chara&er of Cost-
BETT, which has been stigmatised by every species
of apostacy, ought not to invalidate- his reasonings
when they are built upon truth and praaice. There-
fore, we,advise all men who fn au well, not to attend
the Meetings pf these Reformers, but to peruse COB-
BETT'S excellent pamphlet, in which their principles
-and views are so plainly expcsed ; or if they do at-
tend the Meeting, and can gain a hearing, amidst
the turbulence of party-spirit, faaion, and sedition,
to take his Elements liqi;:rin with them, to read a
few passages to the multitude, and thus, in spite of
himself, render that man useful to the country,
whose present labours seem only intended to distUrbe
its tranquillity, and degrade its Constitution.

NINI'll DAY.

The Conti assembled at ten o'clock yesterday,
and Lord Garribier having talten his usual place, ,
TIKI PRESIDENT asked his Lordship whether be
bad any thing further to submit io the Court, in ad-
dition to what yeas already before it ?
Lord GAMBIER replied, he 4dncqhipg.further to
present ‘to,the 'Court beyond Wbia, was contained in
a PaPer.he held in.his hand, and which he begged
rhight k read by the Judge-Advoc.ate.,
The 'Cputcy having ae(f.iiesccd, the following `pa-
per was read :---

"Mr..PRESIDENT,

. . .
" I closefl, my evidence on Wednesday, in the
full persuasion that having established every, part of
my, defence, it was unnei.essary for me to examine
turther witnesses, the more especiaily,,as I bad called
the Officers, who. were in Aix Roads, and had
been actively engaged in the attack on the enemy.
Their testimony would, I conceive, be more accept-
,
.
able to the CoOrt than that of other witnesses de-
riving their knowledge from subsequent informa-
tion.

" The Qourt, however, in the exe,reise.of.its dis-
cretion, thought proper to call all the remaining
witnesses, and I, heartily rejoice that nothing has
been omitted.to render the inquiry most complete.
It is with Rio inconsiderable degree of satisfaction
that I 'find in their depOsitions testimony equally
honourable to the with that of the Officers before
examined. •

" Some positions laid clown by two of these wit-
nesses have been so cotnpleiely refuted by other evi-
dence brought, forward, that I feel myself the more
confirmed in. my opinion, that the measures I pur-
sued for the attack of the enemy, were those best
calculated for_the advantageous attainment of the
objet in View.

" GAMBIER."

The PitEstnEWr then desired that Lord Cochrane
might be called, and on his Lordship's appearance,
addressed him as follows :

. " Lotd COCHRANE—The Court having taken into
a due consideration your note addressed to me, have
resolved (thetontepts of that note being foreign to
the thatte6 inmiediately under their consideration,
the Inquiry irlto the conduct of Lord Gambier,) that
the request 'contained in that note should, not be
complied with."
Lord COCEIRANE.—" I bow with due deference
to the decision of the Court, but have to request;
that the .note adverted to may appear en the minutes
of -evidence before the Court."

The PRESIDENT; "My Lord ; the Court will
take the propriety of such a siep into consideration."

The Court was then cleared of strangers, and afier
three hours deliberation,-the Court was again opened.
The witnesses were first admitted ; and on our ad-
mission,

. The President informed Lord Cochrane, that the
Court, alter having considered the propriety of in-
cluding hisletter on the minutes, had come to a
determination to, comply with his Lordship's re-
quest.
The letter was then read, and was;ts follows :
t,
,_4th August, 1809.

4. Having heard from my brother 0 ljit:ers that t report has
gone abroad that I censured, in general terms, the conduci
of the 'Officers employed in the Road of Aix, on the oath of
April, 1 wish to have an opportumtrio declare the truth on
oath, considering reports of that nature .highly injurious to
the service of our Country.
" I am also 'desirous to lay before the COutt the orders
given to the fire-ships for their guidance —as they ‘vil I tend
to elucidate, and clear some of those. who consider that blame
has been imputed to them.

The PRESIDONT then desired Mr. Greetham, the
Judge-Advocate, to read the sentence, which was as
follows:

Pursuant toan order from the Right Honourable the
Lords Cominissioners of the Admiralty, dated the
sth day of June last, and direaed to the President,
setting forth ftat AdMiral the 'Right Hon. Lord
Gambier had by his letter to their,Lordship's Seeres
tary of the 30th of May, 1809, requesting, that his
condo& as Commander in Chief of the Channel Fleet
employed in Basque Roads, between the 17th day of
March and 29th day of April, 1809, tn;glit be inquired
into by a Court Martial, and that by the Log Books and
minutes of signal of the Caledonia, Imperieuse, and
other ships employed on that service, it appeared to
them that the said Admiral Lord Gambier on the
twelfth day of the said month of April, the enemy's
ships being then on shore, and, the signal having'
been made that they could be destroyed, did for a'
considerable time neglea or delay taking effeaual
measures for destroying them. And they, there-
fore, in compliance with his Lordship's request, and
in consequence of 'what appeared in the said log-
books and minutes of signals, thought fit that a
Court-Martial should be assembled tor the purpose.
of examining into his Lordship's conduct and trying
him for the same. The Commissioner; proceeded
to try the said Admiral the Right Hi-In. Lord Gam-
bier, for his condea in the in'tance herein before-
mentioned ; and also to inquire into his whole con-
do& and proceedings as Commander in Chief of
the Channel Fleet employed in Basque Roads, be-
tween the said 17th day of• March and the 29th,
day of April, 1809, and to try him for the 'same
accordingly, and having heard the evidence pro-
duced in support of the charges, and by the said
Right Honourable Lord Gambier in his defence,
and what his Lordship had to allege in support
thereof, and having maturely and deliberately
weighed, and considered the whole—the Court
is of opinion, that the Charge that the said
Admiral Lord Gambier on the 12th of the • said
month of April, the enemy's ships being then- on
shore, and the signal having been made, that they
could be 'destroyed, did for a considerable time
negle& or delay taking effeaual measures for de-
stroying them, has not been proved against the
said Admiral the Right Honourable, Lord Gambier,
but that his Lordship's condo& on that occasion, as
well as his general eonduet and proceedings as Com-
mander in Chief of the • Channel Fleer employed in
Basque Roads, between (be' said 17111 day of March
and the 29th day of Apra, ;809, was marked by zeal,.

to return you your sword, in the fullest convidion
that, as you have hitherto dune, you will on all fu-
