SEPTEMBER To-
Yeferday we received French and Dutch pa
Pers; the former to the 9th, the Latter to the
lIthina. We can venture to afrert that there
are no Others in London. =. Their contents are
| of great importance.
From the fucceedne accounts received from
| the continent, we fhonld have fnppofed that
the indignation. of Bonaparte would have mani
feffed itieif long before this, by tome effort of
enterprife and decifon. No fnch thing: no
heitiiities have as yet taken place; and the en-
peror of the French, 70 late as the end of Iaft
month, was negotiating and remonfrating with
the court Of Vienna. The intelligence from
Ratifbon ftates, that on the 25th uIt. Courier
paiied through that city with copy of a decla-
| ration which was to be delivered by the French
ambafiador at Vienna to the imperial court.
The fubitance of this unexpected communicate
ON was officially notified to the different min;f.
tiers of the diet, by M. Bacher, the French
charge d'affares; its principal contents will be
found under that head. .,---.
IF the declaration tranfmitted to Vienna be of
the fame character with that communicated by
M. Bacher, it evinces ftrongly the folly and the
approximations of Bonaparte. He, "good eaiy
man," appears to have projected the invafion,
in the perfect confidence, that Auftria, and the
other continental powers, would confidcr them
feives 10 far bound to preierve the peace he had
compelled, as to fee him with perfect compo-
fure plumber and devafate & enllave this coun-
try. The movements of the -Aufrian troops in
Italy and the Tyrol, excite in him, therefore,
the greatef aftonihment. He is fiirprifed that
hisimperial majeGy fhould thew di(poGtion 10
take advantage of his collecting an imnrenie
force on the coat, at the expenfe of weakening
his armies in Italy, on the Rhine, and in Swift
zerland. He contents to defer the oopQueft Of
England until he has called the court of Vienna
to account for thus intervening between his
wrath and the !" execution of the great enter
prize in quefton when, If he n,oHld not be a.
bic to fatisfy him, "be will march with his
whole force to the Rhine, for the purpofe of
compelling Aulfria to preierve the peace of the
continent" t- '-'
Such is the fpirit of M. Bacber's communica-
tion. For what purpofe Bonaparte could have
called upon Auaria for explanation, except with
the i"teti,', IS ,s.''te'aGing my effect that the
notes Of the emperor of Germany, Inherited in
our paper OF the 9TH init. might have had in
France, and rendering the war more popular by
thew of moderation, is not eafy to be difcover-
ed. He furely could not have expected that fhe
would have discontinued her preparations, whe-
Their for offence or neutrality, & fent her troops
back to their quarters, to allow him to profe-
cute, with All his heart and ftreng.h, his aelirgs
againit England. The Corfican feems fadiy at a
lois TO find a plaufibIe execute for the war, of
which his extrayagant ambition is the fole cauGe.
He appears to fear that the expedition againft
Aufria will not be 70 popular as the expedition
againft England. If he can place the neceGi.y
of the war upon no troDger grounds than thofe
OF compelling Auifria to prefcrve the peace of
the continent, his pretext win not, we believe,
kindle much enthudafm among the hundred
thonfand men, who were fpecuiatins upon the
partition of the Jack and plumber OF London.
&With whatever deign he has Thought proper
to make this ftrange demand ofAulria, he leems
to place little confidence in her snfwer, AZ he |
has pat his armies into motion slmoa before II |
could be pTefeutcd. Not only the armies from |
Boulogne and Holland are proceeding by rapid
marches TO the Rhine, but the French troops |
in Hanover are breaking mp. and the troops are |
advancing to the fouthward. II is not inpro- |
bablc but that temporary evacuation of that |
electorate may take place. The prepSrationel
Of Bonapsrte are indeed by no means 10 far adj
vsRced as we bad reafon tothipk they were. ri
was only ON the ut. ioflsnt that the van guard |
OF the army Of England paded through Lige,
