Mr. WaITBREA.D, we find, notWithitancling the
disgust with whit!). his eulogiurn methe honour and
good faith of EitiONAPARTEs zinc! .his charge of per-
fidy on Austria, in her trantaBions with the French
Ruler, was received by the'Public, seems resolved to
perseverein maintaining the satue sentiments. • He
observed !aft night, that " France had almost always
been attacked, and never was the attacker." Tilis'ob,
servation,, if well-foUnded, would only shew.that in
Mr. WHITBBEAD'S opinion•nothing is an attack but
what is made vi et arntir. 'lt is no attack to make
the most unreasonable requisitions, to threaten other
Sfates with deStru6tian unleas they conform to his
iews, end assist his operations. ,It is no attack ripen
Austria in particular, to heap insult after insult
upon her devoted head, to delay the fulfilment of en-
gagements into. which Ile had entered, of evacuating
the territories of Austria, according to agreement'
keeping a formidable militsry force in her neigh 4
bourhood to awe tier into submission, and when the
necessity of self-defence induces her to increase her
military establishinenteto interfere and tell her to
reduce her armies to such a state as to make her en
easy prey to the man who seemed evidently to have
determined on her destruction. All this is, in Mr.
WHITBREAD'S opinion, no attack ; and because
• Austria at last,- aware that she should fall unpitied
if she did not make one Struggle to maintain her
existence, when. the savage was: ready to Rune*
upon her, .Mr. WHITER? AD even accused her of
watching for an opportunity to become the ag-
gressor, alter all the monstrous aggressions which
at leogth compelled her to exchange the mean-
ness of submission • for the resolution of pa-
triotism, and at the hazard * of utter destrue
thin. If Mr. Wttersapen, who aeknowledges"that
he rends the Newspapers, had read the AuStrian ac-
pent of the insults and injuries which she had ex-
perienced 'from France, we should -hope that he
would not have been so much disposed to commend
Ft each honour, and to accuse Austria of being guilty
of an unprovoked attack upon so harnaless, so smut-
fending, so. just, and so honourable a cheraaer as
the present Ruler of France and Prcitetior of En-

THURSDAY, JUNE it 1809.

THE tlambu'rg4 Correspondenten of the 20th ult.
,which was received this day, contains the Russian
Declaration of War against Austria. It commences
with stating, that peace between France and Austria
is at an end, and that all endeavours to prevent the
lamile preparations of the latter were, 'unavail.
ing, as she had refused even the guarantee of
Russia for the integrity of the Austrian States'; that
war had broken out by the invasion of. Foreign
States, without even a declaration of war, 'in the
usual :manner. Hence the Russian Minister had
been recAlled from Vienna, and- all' amicable rela-
tions between the two Courts were at an end. The
Mitch Papers to the 27th also arrived this day, and
contain the Eighth French Bulletin: It consists
chiefly of abuse against Austria. ' -• ,•

A vessel has arrived, at Jersey from Vivares„.nn
.the coast of Asturias,• which she left on the 26th
Ult. The Captain states, that' the French Corps
that entered the Asturias consisted of about Am men,
•They Marched through one of the passes, which un-
fortunately had been left unguarded. The were gal-
lantly attacked by about goon Spaniards, but the dis-
parity of numbers was sogreat, that the latter were
compelled to retreat. The principal part of the Marquis
de ROMANA'S ArMy was at Lugo, and the Marquis
himself, alter his escape from Gijon, bad landed on
,the Coast of Gallicia, with the intention of join-
ing it. Almost the whole of the French force
Gallic-la was concentrating itself at Corunna. It was
reported that they had lost:360o men at St. J.igo.

The Successful attack Upon the French Flat in
iLsqueUoads,seens . to have alarmed 13uoNAr4urs
very much, and he is adopting (very measure in
his power for the safety of his few remaining ships.
Above :In of the gun-boats which hare at different
times escaped from Boulogne, and crept along the
Coast, are now drawn' up round the Ships in the
Scheldt, in order to'secure them from our attacks.

Letters were yesterday received 11'4314 Heligoland
which mention a report, that an
:engagement had
ten place near Vienna, between the French and
he Austrian army, under the command ,of the
Archduke CiLtates, in which the former were de-
defeated with great loss. So many reports of a
similar nature have lately been circulated that we
ore very Much inclined to dpt}bt the .truth ,of this
intelligence. 'There are, on. the other hand, letters
in town frOm Holland, which! state, that the Arch-
duke CIIARSMS has been defeated, :and compelled to
retreat into Hungary.

all her energy to defend her liberty, her raven,
and the sacred rights of the throne, and she Was
aware of the calamity and. weakness which must
be the consequenceolsthe want of mutual co-opera-
tion for the public: defence. The people at that
time, deprived.ortheir legitimate Sovereign) feint-
ed out persons whom they approved, to undertake
the duties of .the State, from whom they expeaed
security and happiness. Under these circumstances,
the Provincial Juntas were formed,- and. to this'.coa‘'
lition, which appeared to be the effect of inspiration
or miracle, we are indebted for those triumphs
which were obtained against the enemy in :various
situations, at the commencement of the contest.
. But in the midst of these sonrces•of sati4taaicin,
it Mint be acknowledged with much concern, that
the Junta of Asfuriat, although the most highly fa-
voured by British generosity in aids of every descrip:
has in the smallest degree contributed to the
great work of driving the enemy from our patine
soil. This Junta was unhappily formed by intrigue,
and by the preponderance of some iridividuals_turd
families ; , bad in view the establishmentein its own
body, of iosolute and indefinite power ; the persons
who composed it, contemplating only their reciprocal
interests and passiocs; the . destruaion of those
under false pretences and calumny, who should
not subscribe to their decisions, and the gratifica-
tion of others who should 'subscribe by productive
employMents. While. this was goillg.forwardi
was at a great .distauce front the principality (u 4 M.,:
tunas), but whin 1 was engaged on, the fruntior.i.ol
POrtugal in my military duties, I heard the language
of complaint ; :saspending,-however my determine-
tion:uirder the idea, that it nr;ght originate in. envy Or
resentment. Without rejecting these representa-
tions, or entirely admitting their correaness, I wait'
ed till circumstances should explain what, at the
time I could 'not comprehend. But, as I aperoach-
ed nearer to the Frovioce, my fecirs were increased,.
and, at last; twas obliged to surrender the hope that
theywere imaginary or deceptive:
In truth, persons of every class, from the flowellt.
to-the highest, told
.me of the' eournious 000 of
that lowlier which ought ,te have been- dtreasd
tp
di c:via objects ; and 'These statements were just"
lied by. the consetrienc6. The Junta blazoned
forth, :hat this diStir,2,uislied province had been the
first which raised the cry of liberty, anti yet, et the
same instant abandoned its highest obligations, 804
as if the war had frees already tertoinated,
,turned
its attention to trifling objets connected with It
charaders and circumstances, interrupting the re;
guist conrse of business, and occeaioning delays, and
mischief even to the parties concerned, in these A*
fairs. Representatives who wore ignorant, natorldil
devoted their minds to frivolous matters. The Pre;
ference given to certain regiments conceded viltd
the Junta, Which had no right to• prioritft cited
disgust: in others, and the micappliciition of moneyj
in such channels, skewed, that it was nut into"'

a certain arbitrary authority par and injurious t
