That the cAnton of the GI iiSOLIS hath again evinced its

AVGiBUBGH, SE,PT. 13.—We have received the
particulars concerning Doctor Schneider, and the
part lie has Jt-te,l in the insurtettion ut the Vorarl-
berg.. He has presented his justificatory memorial,
which is very circumstantial, to 'he eoinmis4un ap-
pointed to examine his case. The resuit of this me-.
Modal is, that Schneider, throughout his whole
conduct, bad been dctuaied by the most patriotic
(Alyea. He sip, th.it before the commencement
.)t- the war, he had eitiorted,the Vorarlbergiatis,by
every meant in his piwer not to give ear to,-the
c,,uneits of those who "b 1161114,1 them- to revolt.

After the entry of the Austrians into the Vorarlberg,
he had no other altetnative than that of emigrating,

and abandoning his whole fortune, or aecep-ting ttTe

should % e

He pre; r d the lat. alt nativOyexpecting to ren-
der •„ f Akul it .4, situ'atingto his country,
and to serve the King of Bavaria, his legitimate. S-
overeign. He declares that he alone prevented the
piila;es and assassinations which au_slaily_connuit-
ted 9t-he Tyrol, from being.repeaied iu the.Vorarl—
berg, and preserved to a. number 6f-the:Bavarian
. Fitatigtniaries_. their. fortunes and their lives. •He

The ‘-systerns cif moderation he 'after pursued had
made him frequently suspected (hesays) of not be:.
ing .attached to the Austrian cause; and had fre-
ouently put him in danger of even losing his life.—
Lastly, ,nothing -can now (according to him)-prove
the sincerity of lit intentions, and the innocence of
his. conduct, more thitn the .p;nl which he took in

~. . .
.presenting. himself 1
.theJ
was easy for him to escape, and baffle every pursuit.
:It. is aSktired that the depositiOns of a great number
of witnesses are favourable to this Ex-Chief of-the
Insurrection of. the VUrailberg.

. MADRID, SEPT I o—Tlve King has gone to take
some recreation .at :Saint lidephonso, aboht twelve
leagues from Madrid, in: the victntty of SegoVia.-7
His predecessors usually inhabited that castle during
the months of August and September. A great
part of the troops whom we had wounded in the,
ditfere.nt victories gained over .the English and the
rebels, is tart recovering, and are preparing tti-ret urn
to i heir respective corps. Inc defeats of the revolters
in the South prod:ice. their natural effects. They
feciproCalliaceuse cacti other, and their dissension is,
pushed to such a length, that they assure us the Junta
of Seville is on the eve of quitting that city, to ob-
tain- greater security at Grenada. It is also in agita-
tion to dismiss old Cuesta,, whom some, report to
have been wounded, and whom others aver, from
his old age, to be incapable of mounting a horse.—
Thp capital contipues to, enjoy the [DOC perfect tran-
quility. The decree upon the Monks continues to
be acted
.upon without opposition.. All have taken
the secular habit, and evacuated their Convents.—
His Majesty, by special decrees, has confirmed the

." Bubena, Aide-de-Camp to the Emperor
of Austria, is still here. _lt appears that he will re-
main sotne time with the consent of the Emperor •
Napoleon."
SEPT. 20--One of our Journals of to-day Can, ,
tains, under date Vienna, the: 12th instant, the .
lowing article The Putticite is one of those
French Journals which frequently make very rash
observations, upon the state of this country.. The
correspondents of that Paper, who appear very
acquainted with the affairs of Austria, speak with
great animosity of the, Archduke Charles. ' This'
Prince, notwithstanding, is of all the Princes 'Of his
House, he who made his charatler most esteemed,
before the breaking out of the present war. Every
imaginable means have been resorted to w instigate
him to projects contrary to his own opinion. At-
tempts were made even by money to seduce those
who surrounded him.
" it was the Minister Zechy who rendered this'
bad service to Austria and the Archduke Charles.
It was frequently repeated to this Prince, that France
had tew troops to oppose an aggression, and that a
war presented such infallible results, that it was dif-
ficult to contend, by his own presentiments, against
those argutnents,repeated around him with so much
perseverance.. It is still, however, with regret that
he made war against France.
" Ou the day atter the battle of Ratisbon, he ma-
nifestel a desire for peace, and he has persisted in it
ever since. After the armistice of Znatin he re-
signed the command, because he then saw that all
the avenues to the Court were shut against the truth
by the game men whom &static' retains in her

pay, and who obtain their livelihood by retailing the
lies, and disseminating the illusions, which that 1
.Power, the Enemy of Europe, has so much interest 1
in propagating.-

LONDO. N,

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1809.

We have very little tn'add to "the • information
which we yesterday laid before our Readers respeet-
.
ing the new Ministerial arrangements. The successor.
to Mr. CANNING is not yet positively named, but;„
we believe that Lord HARROWBY will be appointed]
to that office. We expressed a wish yesterday that:
Ml'. W. POLE might succeed Mr..R. DoNDAs in,
the Secretaryship for Ireland, and .we are happy' to
find that our wish is likely to be gratified.

We can take -u'pon' us to says that the Opposition
Papers have greatly misreptesented what has recently
Occurred between the present Ministry and the Lords
GRENV“..LE and GatT. The former stated pOsi-1
tivelyi --in -his answer to Mr. PERCEVAL, that
his obje4lions w,..re not personal, but -to the
principle upon -which the -present Ministry were
formed,. • avid. the 'ciecumstanees attending their'
W power. This declaration plain-
ly proves that it was not merely an objection
to form athaccession with the present Ministry, or
to co-operate with them in forming a new ar-
rangement, but to the whole of their sys-
tem; and hence, that if Lord QIIENVILLE were
to come into power again, he would revive every
measure that led to his retirement. , The Let-
ter of LOKI GRENVILLE imports that he considered
the communication as coming from his Majesty. Lord
GREY on the qt her hand, as we have, before stated,
considered it as a Ministerial communication. His
Lordship's letter, as well as that of Lord GREN-
VILLE, was couched in the-most 'civil and respeaful

terms.

We have received German Papers to the 23d ult.
but they add very little to our information respeaing
the state of the Negociation. They contain, indeed a
Proclamation from the Emperor of AUSTRIA, which
by no means breathes the language of despondency; 94
Abecontrary, there is a spirit of firmness and indepen-
dence throughout the whole of it; which proves that
the Emperor FRANCIS is determined again to try the
fortune of arms rather than submit to. disgraceful
and humiliating terms..

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Dukes of
SUSSEX and CUMBERLAND, Princesses AUGUSTA and
SOPHIA, accompanied by Lord WALsiNotrAst, Lady
ELY, General FITZROY, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode
in Windsor Great Park, and retit rued at twelve.
Yesterday, at halt past one, o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat
till past five, at which were present the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, -Earls CAMDEN, LIVERPOOL, CHATHAM,
1-IARROWEY,WESTMORLAND, and BATHURST, Lords
MuLORAvv. and LEVESON GOWER, and the. CHAN..
CELLOR of the EXCHEQtJRR.
• Admiral Sir RICHARD STRACRAN is arrived in
.town from Flushing. He landed at Deal on Sunday
tram on board the Zenobia. The Venerable,. of 74
guns, has been on ,shore off Flushing, but has been

Accounts received yesterday frmu the Island of
Walcheren, state, that the fever whiCh produced
such di eadful havoc among the troops i,ad consider-
Ably abated, and that the nunatnr of sick wait much
