VARIAN ARMY OF VIE 17rn OF SEPT.
gg Mumcsi, Ssrr. 27.—The Bavarian Army have
won new trophies by the signal proofs of firmness
which they displayed in the battles of the 16th, 17th,
18th, and 22d of August, near Polotsk, upon the
Duna, commanded by the French General Count
Gouvion de St. Cyr, and more immediately placed
under the orders of the Infantry General Deroi, and
the Cavalry General Count de Wrede. Colonel Ba-
ron Hahermann particularly distinguished himself on
the 16th, as did the Major-Generals and Brigadiers
de Vincenti, and Count Beckers; Colonels Counts
Spaur de Deroi and Bottler ; and Captnins Gothard,
and Baron Graveureuth, of the artillery regiment,
on the 17th.
" On the 18th, the Major and Brigadier-Gene.
rals Sibein de Itagfewich, Count Beckers, the Cts
'octets Baron Colonge, Barons Strohl and Da Zol-
ler, Majors Bach, Count Ysemberg and De Maurs,
also distinguished themselves, as did the Major and
Brigadier-General Sibein, Colonel Baron Strobl,
Lieutenant-Col. de Gidoor, the Majors Baron de
Cronegg, Baron Gravenreuth, and Count Siboldsdorf,
on the 22d. _

At half-past two, his Highness the Prince Arch-
Chancellor arrived at the apartments prepared for
him, at the palace of the Archbishop. He met there
his iliAliness the Prince Vice Grand Elector, their
Exedleuries the Ministers of his Majesty, the
Great Officers of the Empire, and the Grand Officers
of the Legion of Honour. Their Highnesses, accom-
panied by their retinue, entered the Church, where
they had been preceded by all the Authorities, Civil
and Military, of the Department of the Seine.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, at the head of
the Clergy, received their Highnesses at the door of
the Church, and walked in procession before them to
the place ss here his Eminence was to officiate. The
Clergy filled the Sanctuary. The Senators, the De-
puties from the Legislative Body, the Members of the
Court, the Officers of the Household, and the Princes,
occupied the Tribunes.
Numerous detachments of the Imperial Guards
and of the garrison of Paris, under arms, were ranged
in the court of Notre Dame and in the body of the
church.

" The General of Infantry D 2 Deroi led on his
troops ith his usual skill and valour, till the moment
when he received the ball which wounded him mortal-
ly on the 18th.
" The loss of a General cannot be too much re-
gretted, who had rendered such important services to
his King, to the army, and to his country, and who,
to his last hour, fulfilled his duties with the utmost
zeal. That of Major-General Sibein is not less sea.
sibly felt.
" Count Wrede, General of Cavalry, displayed
on the IGth, 17th, and 18th, as well as on all other
occasions, great military talents, and gave his troops
the noblest example of heroism.
" The rwrsons employed as Adjutants by the
Commander in Chief, and attached to the Staff, as
well as the Officers of all ranks, the Sub-Officers
and Soldiers of the regiments and battalions, have
conducted themselves so as to entirely satisfy his
Majesty.
" All the health Officers, particularly the first
Physician of the Military Hospital, Dressler, per-
, formed their duty on the field of battle with a zeal
and intrepidity, which cannot be too much praised."

A great number of Citizens, of all classes, have
shown their joy by the most lively expressions of ad-
miration, and how much they are interested in those
memorable events, which will be for ever the glory
of the French Empire.
There were three salutes of cannon ; one at eight,
the second at twelve, and the third at half-past two.
At riigtt there was a general illumination.
VIEVIA, SEPT. 26.—The Court returned yester-
day evening, from the excursion they made to Lintz.
Their Majesties and the Ileres'iary Prince enjoy the
best health. _

The re4iments that compose the garrison of Vienna
were reviewed the day before yesterday—they are

28th, in presence of t!te Emperor and Staff. The
exercise of the artillh•ry will commence the sth of
0 loher, and contittue ten (lays. It will take place
in the plains of Mittkvtidorf.
The consciiption for Vienna, and its suburbs, will
commence the 28th, and continue three days. it
supposed that the nurn'rer of conscripts will be about"
1200. _ _

For this some time since, the provision of the ca-
pital has been regulated by his Excellency Count do
W.tiliis; the articles most necessary have fallen in
price, and it is hoped they will not again increase.
Our theatre has lost the famous Seldifitider, at the
age of 60. He was actor, author, director, and ma-
nager of theatres. It was he who established the
Theatre de Fauxbourg, of Vienna. Ile was author
of the words of the Flute Elm/Janke, known in
France under the name of Mysteres d'!sis. He
spent his fortune with the same facility that he
amassed it; twenty times he was rich, and as often
reduced to poverty. He was always extravagant,
awl died in inligence, generally regretted for talent,
but blamed for his misconduct.

COPLNIIAGEM, Seer. 19.—1 t is well known how a
perfidious enemy, in 1807, suddenly attacked this
city, and subjected it to a destructive bombarOxneitt.
They did not even spare the edifices consecrated to
D:6lte Worship, and the Church of Notre Dame,!
the chief cathedral of this city, and of the two king.
doms, which served in a great measure as a mark for
their lire, ssas reduced to ashes, ssith the exception
of one p►rt of its walls. Ills Majesty soon mani-
fested a d •sira to see this important structure, which
was a kind of central point for the religion of the
Bat., rebuilt. In consequence, his Majesty pro.
cured anti adopted plans, which have already begun
to he executed. But the funds assigned not being
sal:licit:lit for the completion•of the work, the Coal-
niittee charged with it was unde.• a necessity of asking
this Monarch to direct that the funds set apart for the
repairs of all the churches in the kingdom, should
be applied to that of Notre Dame: au order, to
that effect, was, consequently, granted.
FRO THE FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, Semi. 6.
Some troops are still in motion in the environs of
Niss:► and Sophia. They are meant to act against
the Servians, if necessary.
In Asia Minor, the celebrated Kaliungi Option,
who had draw,► upon himself the displeasure of the
Grand Seignior by his oppressions, had the temerity
to take up arms against his Sovereign. Azia
Governor of Niornedia, who had received orders to
march against this rebel, has compelled him to seek
safety in Hight. Ile was arrested with his two setts
in a village near Kutaitia, and the Sultan has sent
orders to Aziz Paella to have the three decapitated,
and to send their heads hither.

Stracwsupay.—The election of two Members tc
serve in Parliament for this Borough commenced on
Wednesday se'tinight. The contest was carried on with
great zeal and energy, and at the same time with great
temperance and good humour,by the friends of Lieut..
Gen. Hill and Mr. Benyon for the first four days:
but at the opening of the poll on Monday morning,
Mr. Bettyon signified that he had directed the poll in
his favour to be discontinued ; and at the rtri4t.
CLOSE en that evening, the numbers were-,-

the contrary attached to every inhabitant of the

Island, except his MAJESTY'S then Ministers. and
those who live upon the effects of war. There was
no Address for the destruction of the peace from one

end. of the kingdom to the other, until the Deslora-
tion of War was made, and then nothing was more
easy than to procure and manufacture Addresses on the
occasion—more especially if we recollect the danger
which all would then have incurred, who attempted to
say any thing to the prejudice of the most honest Mi-'
nisters—and while the cry of invasion was so indus-
triously
propagated, as to put all the old women in
the kingdom in fear of the terrible consequences 'of
the landing a French army, though nothing was
:more improbable, or morally impossible.--It
is, therefore, on the ground of fraud, on which
the Treaty of Amiens was negociated, that it is con-
sidered by France as void ; that the security to which
those persons trusted, while they visited France, was
a nullity—it had no sanction in the law of nations,
for that law gives no support to intentional bad faith.
It is true those detained persons became victims to
the iniquity of their Government—so did others;
but that is a matter resting on the responsibility of
Great Britain, whose Parliament approved their con.
duct, not on the Government of France; and Mr.
PERCEVAL has repeatedly admitted, that neither party
had a sincere intention to perform the Treaty of
Peace.

Lord YARMOUVII Is, therefore, in my opinion,
correct in admitting the right of detention ; for those
persons were tresspassers on the French territory,
ab initio—the treaty under the sanction of which they
visited France, being, as before said, void by frau-
dulent intention.

Upon some of the other points in this 10th Letter
I may address you again, provided you think this
worthy the insertion ht your valuable Journal. I
therefore, at present, subscribe myself,
Your obedient servant,
SERTORIUS.

During the interval between the last proclamation
and the declaration of the assessor, " God save the
King!" was sung with admirable effect by Mr.
Perry, accompanied in chorus by every lady and
gentleman in the crowded assembly.
As soon as the numbers had been declared, the
Hon. Mr. BENNETT returned thanks to the Eleaton
for the honour they had conferred upon him, by re.
electing him one of the Representatives for their
ancient and independent Borough. He said—
" That it was customary, on similar occasions, to
make declarations of political conduct, and profes-
sions of political principles • , ho would do neither:
they had judged of him by his actions—and by his
actions he wished alone to be judged. It was the
kindness of the Electors of Shrewsbury that had
placed him so high on the poll : and it was with
pride he viewed that he had the great majority of the
free, unbiassed, independent suffrages of the 130.
rough. That kindness he could only repay by a
steady and unremitting attention to their interests;
by being a zealous defender of their rights and liber-
ties; and the constant advocate of those measures
which are most conducive to the peace and prospe-
rity of the Empire."
Colonel Bit& then rose, and spolse to the follow-
lug purport s—
" GENTLEMtN,—When I had the honour of ad-
dressing you, in the name of my brother, at the
close of the poll on Saturday, I then expressed my
confidence of ultimate success ; but my most san-
guine expectations could not have led me to expect
I we should so soon have proved triumphant, and that
our victory would have been so splendid end corn-
!plete. But it is to your exertions, and those alone,
my Brother is indebted for the highest honour that
ever was conferred upon him: and you must allow
me now to repeat the promise 1 made at the com-
mencement of the contest—' That he will faithfully
discharge the important trust reposed in him. by an
impartial attachment to the Liberty and interest of
the Subject, and the Dignity of the Crown.'
64 I must also beg leave to retort' my wrsolial
thanks to Mr. Benyon, and his Avnt,, for the
perate and peaceable niacin( r in WhiC'.l thif =. •
has been conducted."
Both addresses were rerei,,TO ithi the r:-•

Mr. Bennett and Colonel hill were then carried
through some of the principal streets, attended by
bands of music, colours Hying, &c. the hells rang
merrily, and we are gratified to state that harmony
(not indeed without some ebullitions of party spirit)
continued through the evening.
Expresses having been sent to the tenants of Sir
Andrew Corbet, with information of the went of too
election, the bells at Shan bury, &c. rang a joyous
peal ; a sheep was roasted, and bonfires lighted on
Grinshill 11111, and the sante repeated last night with
;increased festivity.

N. 13.—1 n the Address of LEwts G3LDSMITII, as
inserted in the Morning Post, of the 10th of October,
181'2, there are some curious circumstances relative
to the paper war betwixt the two countries, during
this swindling Treaty of Peace was permitted to
exist. But in one particular, LEWIS GOLDSMITH iS
iniquitously incorrect—he says the war took piece
two months after the Ist of March 1803—when in
fact, the Peace was put an end to on the Bth of
March, 1803, by Mr. ADDINGTON'S bringing down
to Parliament the Message from the King, requiring
provision for augmenting the forces, and announcing
armaments in the ports of France and Holland ; and
which provision was voted by Parliament-, according
to the Message.
