tanrday morning. Mr. SPARROW. the Manager,
tithed with difpatehm from the Courts of Vienna
itad Munich. We underlaid that be brings advice
if Mr.Danks being about to Teta' to England from
the latter place.

in the greater part of our insprelSon of yefterday
We announced the arrival of difpatches from India,
bringing accounts of fetus advantages gained by our
- mos is that quarter. There difpatches were receiv-
:iest nierlaisd. They Rate, that another important
batik was fought OR the scith of Lail November,
Irbil was followed by a complete vißory, attended
With very inconfiderable loft on our part. Though
diegeneral account is certainly very accurate, yet
fern. aviation appears in the detail, which mutt be
attributed to the hurry of the writer. The details
woe given in the preceding columns.
&private letter by this conveyance Rates, that the
lots of the enemy amounted to 3000 killed and'
wounded, while that oft our tide does not exceed 5o
killed, and 300 wounded. Among the latter were
five officers. We had none killed.

Tefterday evening we received Paris journals to
the toth inf. inclufive, which announce the death of
General Picnics° in the piton of the Temple, on
the eight of the sth. He is raid to have Rrangled
Limfelf by means of a piece of wood he had feeret-1
ea from the fire wood of his chamber, and twilled
`into his handkerchief fo tight that it produced ruff.-
eatim. The furgeons who esamined the body are
of opinion, from its appearance, and what they were
told ►y the gaoler, that the deceakd had &angled '
himfelf• The centinel at the door of the apartment
mentions his having beard a node like that of one
labouring under a great difficulty of breathing ;beat it
having ccafed he took no further notice of it. This
witnefs was the only perfon whocould know whether
any one had entered Pic metes room after the fer-
•ant had left it the preCeding evening.
The whole of this *range Rory might perhaps
have been credited, if we had never heard of the
redden death of TOUSSAINT in another prifon—if
we had never heard of any perfon being warned to
take care cf the Italian ragouts fornetimes exhibited
in the fame place—if we had never heard of the cold-
blooded flaughter at Jaffa, and Sir ROBERT IVia-
%TV% charge againft the rIRSI CWIEUL, of his hav-
ing poifooed in the hofpital, tl.e scry warriors who
had fought for him in Egypt—;f a French Prince
had not lately been murdered in the ':ad of night,
under the pretence of infliAing legal juflice. Thole
who have never heard of any of theft. fats, may
perhaps credit the ill-told (tory of Gelieral I'.cxs•
ORE/ having committed fuicide.

The fervent, it is raid, who lighted the gre in the
Morning, finding PlCllirotu did not fir, immed;atcly
w:nt and informed Colonel roes A RD ; and they, wit!•
sit trtirg any thing to tdict.t knt for a fa-
:tire of ream and Medical aid. It is vet y (jugular
eh it this lei vent ran for the Gaoler and the Culoncl
bet...re he looked at the body. Is not tl:s a very ltd.
riciosas circumaance, and does it n. t 10,3; as it it had
teen errenza that the body %mild be foul.d ia the
foraloo above &Imbed by Jac Sursrwi ? Time i,

every appearaSe, of art in this buried's. It is Lady
MACBETH laying 'the. daggers by the fide of Dun-
can's attendants, end (mewing them with the blood
previous to miring die hue and, cry.
But is it poffible that Plc it seta u could hive Aran-
led himfelf in the way defcribed f It is Elated, that
in order to continue the compreffion by which Mo.
cation was produced, he had laid one cheek on the
end of the flick, which produced a fcratch on that
cheek. If the deceafed had taken ibis pofition to
effea ftrangulation, would not the very agonies and
convollions of fuffoeation have changed the fatal po-
fiticm.and thereby given him relief; whether he would
or not, as his pofition was not fettered in other re-
(peas ? We refer our Readers to the details publiffied
by the Magifirates to whom the inveftigationki this
affair was committed.

But not to dwell on the fufpicions circomflances
of the cafe, even from the fituation and appearance
of the body, is it credible that Pscnscau would put
an end to his own life ? Could he have any ignominy
to dread ? Would it have been ignominy to have
been Osot like the Duke d'Esoutsx ? Nay ; mall
not Pscosoatu have looked forward with exultation
to an execution that muff have been the only coda.
lation of his fate, heeafe it was calculated to raife
the fympadty and regret of his fellow foldiers, and
to excite a fentiment of indignation againll the ty-
rant of France ? No. Though Boaarairrs and all
his Conniellors, Senators, and Legiflators were to
{wear it, we could not believe that Ptcttacau would
pat an end to his life in Co mean and contemptible a
manner, when he had the glory almoll of martyr-
dons before his eyes, even had he cherifited no hope
of efcape. No. This bears every mark of a foul
murder. The FIRST Corset. has given way to fury
and defperation.
The following eircumnance carries with it no little
degree of evidence that there has been foul play in
this affair

On the day after the death of PtCHIORO, a pam.
phkt was publilhed, entitled "A memorial concerning
the warm of C s PICHLGRV, in the years 3,1
~ 5, of the Republic," Paid to be drawn op by M. de
MONTC•ILLAILD, in the year 6. The whole of this
was poblilbed by the Direetory, and was in our Paper
in September 1797. It WAS declared by FOOCHI
Boast, Paid to have been employed to corrupt Pt c a-
nay, to be an infamousforgery, which indeed on the
face of it it appears to be. The fubßance of the
charge is, that the Prince of Como, employed agents
to engage PICH scum to bring over his army to the
Royal Caufe ; and it Rates, that he was promifed
to be forthwith treated a Lieutenant General of
the Army of Louts the XVIIIth, and he was to
be enfured, on the re•efablilhment of the Bouaamos,
on the Throne of France, a Marl:ball% Staff, the
Grand Croft of St. Louis, the Chief Command of
lAlface during his life, the enjoyment fur Isis life ofl
the royal houfe and park of Chambord, a pennon of
zoo,ooo livres, with the reverfion of one half thereof
to his widow, and of one quarter to his iffue, from
male to male, to the extinaion of his poßerity, a hotel
at Paris, and a million of livres to fuming it, a Ratue
to be crated to :lim in the village of Albais, his na-
tive place, fepulchre among the Kings of France, &c.
&c. &c. All his officers were to be continued in their
refpetive ranks, and he was to have the power of re-
compenfing their fervices, and the General was to
have the power of pronouncing indemnities, ite.
&e. The memoir Rates all the interviews that took
place—all the ob&-scles that intervened—and all the
(cries of intrigues that arofe until the whole was de-
!cacti.
Our Readers will reeolleA that this is a mere re-1
publication of the pieces publiffied by the Direaory
oil the 4th of September. The length of thefe ex.
traas, and the pains apparently taken to give them
circulation, thew the anxiety of the Cititr Consul.
to reconcile the people of France to the death of the I
General. But if the French Government had any
real ground of aecufation againß the deceafed, why
go back 6a or (even years to rake up convißed falle-
hoods, to ferve as a foil to its own crimes ? This is
of a p;cce with the smock trial of the Duke d'Es-
Goats, refpcsting whore pretended guilt they have
publiffied oily the oiflions of his accufers and illegal
judges, without giving a tingle void of the evidence
on the cafe. Will the world believe that if they had
had any evidence, it would have been withheld from
public view ?
Murder, though it Lath no tongue, will (peak with molt
nusaculous organ!"
