If It 1123 true to Inv rest extent, if it could be proved that that
House was so regardless of the interests of those who sent them
there, not Only shoold it be reformed quickly but radically. On
the other band, if he could not substatsiate it, the Honourable
Member, not he was sure wilfully, had given currency to a most
dangerous opinion.
Mg. WARDLE stated' his readiness to acquaint the House
with the grounds upon which he rested his ophihm. With re-
spect to any distinct motion, from the voluminous nature of the
papers for which he should be obliged to insve, it could uot be
tapected that he could bring it forward at the present advanced
stage of the Session.

Mr. CURWEN replied to the arguments urged against his Bill,
and defended himself from the charge of having brought forward
a sham moasure (alledged against hint by Siir F. Burdett) which
was a species of conduct utterly inconsistent with i;!e wholeprac-
ace and tenor of his former life. He did not complain of the
Hon. Baronet's making such assertions there, where be had it in
his power to meet him, but of making them elsewhere, where
lie had not that advantage. His measure was directed against
bribery and curruptioa no: giii:rded against by the Bribery Act ;
and, though he was not sanguine enough to imagine he could sa-
tisfy all parties, yet he was sure it gave satisfaction to the sober
and rational mass of the people.
'.l'he CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE'2UER restated the ob-
jections, which he urged to the measure in a former night, but
said that it was his opinion that the Bill should go into the Corn-
mine in order to obviate these objections, if possible:
The question was then put, that the Speaker db leave the Chair,
and agreed to without a division. After which the House re-
s:ilved itself into the Committee pre forma. Priigre,4 WAS then re-
ported, and the Committee ordered to sit again on Tuesday next.
The other orders of the day ‘7ere then disposed of.

SEVENTH FRENCLI BULLETIN.

" Vienna, Vai 13.

" On the 1(1,11, at nine in the morning, t:te Em-
peror appc;:r.Nl before the gates of Vienna, with the
corps of Marshal Duke of Montebello. It was at the
same hour, on the same day, and exactlyone month
after the Austi lan army had passed the Inn, and the
Emperor Francis 11. had rendered hims:lf guilty of
a perjury, the signal of his ruin.
" On the .sth of May, the Archduke
brother of the Empre:-s, a y,uag prince, 26 years of
.►ge, presumptuous and without experience, of an ar-
dent character, assumed the government of Vienna,
and issued the annexed proclamations (No. 1 and
No 2).

" It was gen.srally reported in the country, that all
the en.ren,hmmts which surrounded the capital were
Fa-tiEeci, that redoubts had been raised, that enirenehed
camps had b‘ea formed, and that the.city was deter-
mined to defend. itself. The Emperor had a difficulty
co believe, that a capita:, so generously treated by the
French army in ISO 3, and the good sense and wisdom
ef whose inhabitants are acknowledged, would be so
fanatical as to resolve upon so mad an enterprise. He
experienced, therefore, a sweet satisfaction when, on
approaching the immense suburbs of Vienna, he saw
a numerous population of women, children, and old
men, run forward to meet the French army, and re-
ceive our soldiers as friends.
" General Couroux traversed the suburbs, and
General Tharreau repaired to the esplanade which
separates them from the City. At the instant he
reached it, he was received by a discharge of mus-
ketry and cannon, and was slightly wounded.
" Of 000,000 inhabitante who compose the popu-
lation of Vienna, the City, properly so called, which
is surrounded by a bastion and a countersearp,
scarcely contains 80,000 inhabitants and 1060 houses.
The eight cleaners of the town, which have retained
the name of suburbs, and are separated from the city
by a vast esplanade, and covered on the side of the
country by intrenchments, incluse more than 5000
houses, and arc inhabited by more than 220,000, who
draw their subsistence from the city, where arc the
markets and shops.
" The Archduke Maximilian had caused registers
to Le opened for collecting the names of the inhabi-
tants who were willing to defend themselves. Thirty
individuals only inscribed their names : all the others
refused with indignation. Defeated in his hopes, by
the good sense cf the people of Vienna, he collgcted
ten battalions of the militia (Lane/web) and ten bat-
talions of the line, composing a force of from 15,000
to 16,000 men, and threw himself within the place.

" The Duke of Mon:ebello sent him an Aide-de-
Camp with a summons ; but some butchers, and
few hundred fellows, satellites of the Archduke Maxi-
milian, rushed upon the Parliamentaire, and one of
them wounded him. The Archduke 'ordered the
wretch who had committed this infamous action to
be led in triumph through the city, mounted on the
horse of the French (Nicer, and surrounded by the
(Militia.

` .6' After this unheard-of violation of dr= rights of
nations, the horrid spectacle was seen of one part of
the city drawing upon the other part, and citizens di-
recting their arms against their fellow-citizens.
" General Andreossy, appointed Governor of the
city, organised in each suburb a municipality, a cen-
tral committee of provisions, and a nation d guard,
consisting of merchants, manufacturers, and the good
citizens of every class, armed to repress proprietors,
and evil disposed persons (pour contenir la prof rielaira
et le: mauve:is sujett.)

" The Governor-General caused a deputation of
the eight suburbs to repair to Schoenbrunn. The

Emperor charged them to proceed to the city, in or-
der to carry the annexed letter ,(No. 3), written by
Majnr-General Prince of Neufchatel to the Archduke
Maximilian. He recommended the deputies to re-
present to the Archduke, that if he continued to fire

upon the suburbs, and if a single one of the inhabi-
tants lost his life through his arms, this act of frenzy,
this crime against the people, would for ev_r break
the bonds which attach subjects to their sovereigns.
" The deputation entered the city on the 1 Ith at
fen of the forenoon, and their arrival was marked only
by the redoubled fire from the ramparts. Fifteen in-
habitants of the suburbs perished, and only two
trenchmen were killed.

The patiAtce of the Emperor was wearied out.
He proceeded with the Duke of nivoli to the arm of
the Danube which separates the Pratar (the fashion-
able Promenade of Vianna), and ordered two com-
panies of voltigettrs to occupy a small pavilion on the
left bank, in order to cover the raising of a bridge.
The battalion of grenadiers which defended the pas-
sage was driven back by the voltigeurs, and by the
grape-shot of fifteen pieces of artillery. At eight of
the evening the pavilion was occupied, and the ma-
terials of the bridge collected. Captain Portales,
Aide-de-Camp of the Prince of Neufchatel, and
Susaldi, Aide-de-Camp of General Bonder, were
among the first to swim across the river in order to
seek the boats on the opposite shore.
" At nine of the evening a battery of 2.0 howitzer
raised by Generals Bertrand and Navalet, at ICO fa-
thoms fr..m the place, began the bombardment : 1800
shells were shot in less than four hours, and soon
the whole appeared to be in flames. One must have
seen Vienna, its houses of eight or nine stories, its
narrow streets, and numerous population within so
narrow a compass, in order to form an idea of the tu-
mult, disorder, and disasters Nhich such an operation
could not but occasion.

" The Archduke Maximilian had, at one ift the
morning, caused two battalions to march in close co-
lumn, in order to attempt retaking the Pavilion, which
covered the raising of the bridge. The two companies
of voltigeurs received them with a discharge of mus-
quetry, which, with the fifteen pieces of artillery from
the right side, destroyed a part of the column, and
forced them to fly in great disorder.
" The Archduke lost all presence of mind in the
midst of the bOmbardment, and especially at the mo-
ment when he heard that we had crossed an arm of
the Danube, and were on the march to cut off his re-
treat. As feeble and weak as he had been rash and
arrogant, he was the first to fly and recross the bridge.
The respectable General O'Reilly learnt only by the
flight of the Archduke, that he was invested with the
command.

Day•break on the 12th, announced to the ad--
vanced guard, that the firiag would cease, and that
a deputation was about to be sent to the-Emperor.
" This deputation was presented to his Majesty in
the park of Schoenbrunn. It was composed of—
Colonel Dietrichstein, Provisional Marsi-al of the States ; tLe
Prelate of Klosternenbourg; the Prelate of the Scotch College ;
Counts Per, t,n and Veterani ; Baron Bartenstein ; M. de Mayen-
berg ; Baron Haten, Referendary or Lower t ; all the 'Mem-
bers of th:: State; the Archbishop of Vienna; Baron
Captain of the town; NI. Wultll..bee, Burglicrnia4ter ; M. Afeher,
Vice Bur:J:master ; Egger, Pinck, Ileisn, Cour.:ellors the

His Majesty assured the. Deputies of his protec-
tion. He expressed the pain which the inhuman con-
duct of their Sovereign had given him, who had not
.feared to deliver up las capital to all the calamities of
war—who, himself striking a blow at his rights, in-
stead of being the King and Father of his dubjects,
Lad 'evinced himself their enemy and tyrant. His
Majesty assured them that Vienna should be treated
with the smite indulgence and &your which had been
displayed in 1803. The Deputation answered this
assurance by ekiressions of the most lively gratitude.
" At nine of the morning the Duke of Rivoli, with
the divisions Saint Cyr and Bondet, took possession
of the Leopoldstadt.
During this time, Lieutenant-General O'Reilly
sent Lieutenant-General de Vaitx and Colonel Eel,
'tune to treat for the capitulation of the place. The
annedted capitulation, (No. 4.y was signed in the even-
. ing, and on the 13th, at six of the morning, the
grenadiers of Oudinc,t's corps took possession of the

TO HIS HIGHNESS THE AItCIIDUKE
• Herd Quarters at Schoenbrunn, May to.
4 Monseigneur, the Marshal Duke of hlontehello sent thi•
mornitg to your Highneis an Officer Purlementaire, accompanied
by a trumpeter. -fhis officer is not returned ; I beg of your
Highness to inform me When it is the intention to send hlm back.
This, so unusual a procedure, obliges mew make use of the inha-
bitants of the town, in order to have the honour of communicat-
ing with. your Highness.'
His Majetty the Emperor and King, my sovereign, having
been brought to Vienna by the events of war, desires to spare this
great and interesting city the calamities with .which It is threat-
ened, and has charged tne to represent to your Highness, that
should you be resolved to defend the place, yi.o will cause the
eeslruction of one of the finest cities in Europe—you will bring
all the calamities of war upon an immense population, composed,
in part, of ofd men, women, and children. Will not so many
brave soldiers, who are sacrificing their lives in the service of his
Majesty the Emperor of Aunria, be struck in what is most dear
to them, when they behold, while devoting their persons to their
' Sovereign, their wives and children exposed to the horrors of war.
The Emperer, my Sovereign, has displayed in all the coun-
tries into which the war has carried him, his solicitude .to relieve
the unarmed population from these &savers. Your Highness
must be persuaded th.tt hie Majesty is sensibly-affeeted at behold-
ing this great city on tire point of destruction, which he deems it
a gl •ry to have save.l.

Neverthekss, c.intrary to the custom crablieted in fonresses,
your Highness has Gained cannon to he discharged on :l,•e side to-
wards the town ; and this cahnori might kill, nor an enemy of your
Sovereign, but the wife or children of one of his most zealous ser-
vants. I have the honour to obs,Tve to your Highness, that
during this day the Emperor has refused to permit any troops to
enter the city, confining himself solely to the occupation of the
gates, and tie distribution at patroles for the maintenance of good
orth r. But if your Highness persists in defending the forties!, his
Majesty will be compelledto commence the works tif at tack, and the
ruin of thislmmense capital will be complete in 34 hours, by the lire
howitzersof aid the bombs of our batteries. As the suburbs will
be destroyed by the diets of your's, hit Majesty does not douht
that these considerations will influenci: your Highness to renounce
a determination which will reti..rd but for a few moments the sur-
render of the place.

• Flnally, if your Highness do not eettrmine to adopt a con-
duct which will sive so intere►ting a town, its population ren-
dered so wretched through your 11.ghness's fault, plunged into
such frightful disorders, would become frum faitktful subjects the
enemies of your !louse.
• I beg your Hizhnesa to I:;form me of your resolution. Be-
lieve in the sincerity of the sentiments I have expressed, and of
those of my high consideration. (Signed) AxxxA N
MILAN, MAY 13.
A part of the army cninm.mded by Prince Eugene
is already on the Tagliamcnto. The enemy flies with
great rapidity.

The Royal Family will come to town on Tuesday, and remain
till the. Thursday after the Birthday.
Another !Sleeting was held of the Merchants interested in the
Trade of Holland, the Baltic, and the West Indies, likely to he
affected by Mr. EKSKINY'S arrangement of the new proposed
Order in Council. After some discussion, Resolutions to the
following erect were passed unanimously
" That the Order in Council of the 26th of April would pro-
bably arrive about five days before the a range-gent of Mr.
lEKSKINE could have taken effect; and that by this Order, the
Americans would be apprized that such an arrangement would
not be sanctioned.-1 hat the tune proposed to be given in
the Americans would I.,;ejudice the British Merchants by ena-
bling them to pour in their produce to the Ports of Holland and
the Baltic, at much lower prices than we coi'd supply them—.
1112 t good Litil is as m cessary to be exerciod by Governme t t
the nay.; s, a; to aliens, and tha: the Orders of Council of No-
vzniber 1107, were a pledge to the Pri:ish Merchants, that the
system of rigour adopted in those Orders should be exercised
agoiast Franc,• and her depends:sic:is, as long as the Edicts of
Berrn continue.
." That the Order of Council of the 26th of April last was ie.,
consistent with that pledge, and militated against the inter, t of
the British Merchant. That 'it is essential to the Wrst•it dis
trade that the Americans shutl.l nut ship colonial produce to
Holland dir.c•. hat there is a great quantity of colonial I re-
duce ie America ready to be shipped off, which will be sent t
illand if the time proposed be conceded to the Americans, be
which the markets will oe glutted, and closed upon the Bii i h
merchant. 'I hat, At all events, the ships which have sailrd, ur
may rail, froncAmer ca, which have nor, or shall not be, u der
the late arrangement destined to Holland, should not be penni
ted to enter the ports of Holland, ur to take out licences Irons
hence for such a purpose. That the Committee which waited ots
the Board of Trade yekterday ( ty) do this day (Friday)
attend the appointed interview with that Board. That the than :s
of the Meeting be giv:u to the Chairman for his able and inipar.
tial conduct."

With the preceding instructions, the Conimittee, 't half past
two, waited on the Board of Trade, when Lord BA TH ?RST in-
formed the Gent!omen attending, that the particulars they Lai
stated would be immediately taken into consideration, aid that an
answer would be given, if they wsat.l favour him with an int s:
view, at the same hour'to•morrow (clis day). It was, however,
intimated by his Lordship, Ere tae Board would probably so far
accede to the wishes of the Merel-tants, as to vary the time of
the proposed concession from the luth August to tne gt.th July,
and further,
" That at all events the shipping wh:cll have sailed, of may
sail, from America, which have not been, or shall not be, under
the late arrangement, destined for Holland, should not be per.
mi:ted to enter the ports of Holland, or take out licences from
hence for such a purpote."
We understand that a fast-sailing vessel is prepared to convey
the decision of his Majesty's Government to America, as soon as
the consultation with the mercantile interest is terminated..
This morning, soon after one o'clock, an alarming fire broke
on: at Mr. Snieeton's, Printer in St. Martin's-lane, which burned
for a considerable time with gieat fury, and threatened devasta-
tion to the whole neighbourhood ; it is stated to have broken out
in the back parlour, underneath the bedroom in which Mr. and
Mrs. Smeeton lay, who arc supposed to have been suffocated
before the flames ever ieached their apartment; hut, two appren-
tice► and a servant-girl t 7Aped to the top of the house. Mr. and
Mrs. :inn ETO N were highly respected by all who knew them, and'
had been married but a few weeks.
Want of room obliges us to defer the insertion of the important
Cause tried in the Court if King's Bench yesterday, the ltiaso to.
