Reral Jellachieh, which occupied Munich, is pursued by the corps of the Duke of Dantzic.

The King of Bavaria has shewn himself at Munich. He afterwards returned to Augs burg, where he will remain some days, in tending not to fix his residence at Munich till Bavaria shall be entirely delivered from the enemy.

On the side of Ratisbon, the Duke of Auerstadt is gone in pursuit of Prince Charles, who, cut off from his communications with the Inn and Vienna, has no other resource than that of retiring into the mountains of Bohemia, by Waldmunchen and Cham.

With respect to the Emperor of Austria, he appears to have been before Passau, in order to besiege that place with three battalions of the Landwerk.

All Bavaria and the Palatinate are delivered from the presence of the enemy.

At Ratisbon, the Emperor passed several corps in review, and caused the bravest soldieis to be presented to him, to whom he gave distinctions and pensions, and the bravest officers, to whom he gave baronies and lands.

Hitherto the Emperor has carried on the war almost without equipage and guards; and one has remarked, that in the absence of his guard, he had always about him the allied Bavarian and Wirtemberg troops; wishing thereby to give them a particular proof of confidence.

A report has been circulated, that the Emperor had had his leg braken. The fact is, that a spent ball had grazed the heel of his boot, but did not touch the skin. Never was his Majesty in better health, though in the midst of the greatest fatigue.

It has been remarked as a singular fact, that one of the first Austrian Officers made prison ers in this war, was the Aid de-camp of Prince Charles, sent to M. Otto with the famous letter, purporting that the French army must retire.

The inhabitants of Ratisbon having behaved very well, and evinced that patriotic and confederated spirit which we have a right to expect from them, his Majesty has ordered that the damage done shall be repaired at his expence, and particularly the rebuilding of the houses burnt, the expence of which will be several millions.

All the sovereigns and territories of the confederacy evince the most patriotic spitit. Whenthe Austrian Minister, at Dresden, delivered the declaration of his court to the King of Saxony, the latter could not contain his indignation. "You wish for war, and against whom? You attack and you inveigh against a man, who, three years ago, master of your destiny, restored your states to you. The proposals made to me afflict me: my engagements are known to all Europe; no Prince of the confederacy will detach himself from them."

The Grand Duke of Wurtzburg, the Emperor of Austria's brother, has shewn the same MONTHLY MAG. No. 195.

sentiments, and has declared, that if the Austrians advanced to his territories, he should retire, if necessary, across the Rhine. So well are the insanity and the invectives of Vienna appreciated. The regiments of the petty Princes, all the allied troops, are eager to march against the enemy.

A notable circumstance, which posterity will remark as a fresh proof of the signal bad faith of Austria, is, that on the day she wrote the annexed letter to the King of Bayaria, she published in the Tyrol the Proclamation signed by General Jellachich. On the same day she proposed to the King to be neutral, and invited his subjects to rise. How can we reconcile this contradiction, or rather how justify this infamy?

Letter addressed on the 9th April, by the Arch duke Charles, to the King of Bavaria, and inserted in the First Bulletin of the Austrian army.

"S18-I have the honour to inform your Majesty, that in pursuance of the declaration of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria to the Emperor Napoleon, have received orders to enter Bavaria with the troops under my command, and to treat as enemies those who shall offer resistence.

"I ardently wish, Sire, that you would listen to the desires of your people, who see in us none but deliverers The severest commands have been given in order, until your Majesty make known your intentions on this head, that no hostilities be committed except against the enemy of all political in1ependence in Europe. It would be very painful to me to turn my arms against the troops of your Majesty, and to involve your subjects in the miseries of a war, undertaken for general liberty, and whose first principle excludes all plan of conquest; but if the force of circumstances should lead your Majesty to a condescension incompatible with your dignity, and the happiness of your people, I beg you nevertheless to be convinced, that my soldiers will maintain, under every circumstance, the safety of your Majesty; and I invite you, Sire, to confide yourself to the honour of my Sovereign, and the protection of his arms."

PROCLAMATION.

Soldiers, you have justified my expectation ; -you have made up or numbers by your bra very ;-you have gloriously marked the di ference that exists between the soldiers of Casar, and the armed cohorts of Xerxes.

In a few days we have triumphed in the three battles of Tann, Abensberg, and Echmuhl, and in the actions of Peising, Landshut, and Ratisbon. One hundred piecesor cannon, 40 standards, 50,000 prisoners, 300 waggons harnessed for baggage, all the cheats of the regiments-such is the result of the rapidity of your march and your courage.

The enemy, besotted by a perjured Cabinet, seemed no longer to preseive any recollection of us;-their waking has bie, prompt-you have appeared to them more terrible than ever. SU

Lately

Lately they crossed the Inn, and invaded the territory of our allies-lately they presumed to carry the war into the heart of our country -now, defeated and dismayed, they fly in disorder; already my advanced guard has passed the Inn-before a month is elapsed we shall be at Vienna

Third Bulletin of the French Grand Army. This Bulletin is dated from the head-quarters at Berghausen, April 50. It details nothing of importance. The Duke of Dantzic reached Altenmark on the 28th, Gen. Wrede entered Salzburgh on the 29th, and on the 30th the whole army crossed the Inn in full pursuit of the Austrians. Many prisoners were made. "" The Emperor of Austria," says the Bulletin," is gone to Scharding, a position extremely well adapted for a Sovereign, who neither wishes to be in his capital to govern his dominions, nor in the field, where he is known to be merely an incumbrance and dead weight. When he was informed of the result of the battle of Eckmuhl, he judged it prudent to retire into the interior of his dominions."-Speaking of the Austrian imitations of the French military system, the Bulletin remarks,But the ass is not ennobled to a lion because he is covered with a lion's skin; the long ears betray the ignoble beast."-The Autrians are precipitately evacuating the Tyrol, owing to the victories in Bavaria. Marshal Davoust is to proceed to the Tyrol to restore tranquillity;

SPAIN.

The following general orders were published at Head-quarters, in Madrid, on the 2d April:

"His Catholic Majesty has given orders, that information should be given to the army, of the new victory gained on the 28th March, by the first light corps under the command of the Marshal Duke of Belluno, at Medellin, over the army of the enemy, under the command of the Spanish GeneralCuesta. Ten thoucand Spaniards having been killed, and 1,000 made prisoners by our light troops, and the rest saved themselves by flight in the best manner they could. The whole artillery, to the number of 25 pieces, with 6 standards, fell into our hands. The greater part of the superior and staff-officers were left on the field. The Spanish Lieutenant-general, Don Francisco de Frias, was found among the dead severely wounded.

"The army of Cuesta and a part of that of Andalusia are, by this fortunate event, annihilated. The Marshal Duke of Belluno gives the greatest praise to the Generals and Officers, as well as the troops under his command. Our loss, in comparison to that of the enemy, appears incredibly small, as this glorious day cost us, in killed and wounded, not more than 300 mex. We are indebted

for this advantage to the impetuosity of our attacks, and the spirit with which they are maintained.

"This victory secures us the conquest of Andalusia, the whole of which will shortly be in possession of our troops.

(Signed)

"JOURDAN. "Marshal of the Empire, and Majorgeneral of his Catholic Majesty."

"Cadiz, April 10, 1809.

"In spite of the multiplied treacheries of the Spanish and Portuguese Chiefs and Generals, in spite of the notorious imbecility, corruption, and perhaps even perfidy of this Government, and the wretched mismanage ment on our parts, the views of the enemy seem to be completely baffled. In Catalonia he is retiring every where, except from Barcelona. The last accounts state, that

he destroys the forts, &c. and leaves his sick and wounded to the mercy of the Spaniards. He is retiring also in La Mancha and Estre. madura, after gaining advantages which seemed to lay the road into Andalusia open without assistance. The treachery of Urbing exposed the army of La Mancha to almost inevitable destruction, and it filed in the most disorderly manner, seized with a sudden panic, for several days before a small division of French cavalry. Aibuquerque has represented to the Junta the perfidy of Urbino in the clearest light. The copy of his letter is here. You will no doubt have received the details of the cowardly behaviour of the Spanish cavalry at Medellin; which, if the French had properly used the advantage they made then masters of the pass at least, if gained on that day, would undoubtedly have not of Seville itself. Their numbers, however, seem to be too insignificant for further conquest, and notwithstanding the numerou partizans they have amongst the higher classes and officers of Government, if not in the Government itself, the people are true to their own cause.

GREAT BRITAIN.

At a meeting lately held at the Crows and Anchor, in the Strand, for the purpose of obtaining a Reform of Parliament, the following resolutions were carried:

1. That it is the grand principle of the constitution, that the people shall have a share in the government, by a just represen. tation in parliament."

2. That the long duration of parliaments greatly facilitates the corruption of the membere, and removes that wholesome check or controul on their conduct, a frequent recurrence to the opinion of their constituents.

that

3. That in a petition presented to the House of Commons, on the 6th of May, 1793, it was offered to be proved at the bar, 154 individuals did, by their own authority, appoint or procure the return of 207 members of that house (exclusive of those from Scut

Land,)

4. That this meeting believes individual patronage in boroughs has increased since 1795-that the representation of Scotland is extremely influenced and unfree-that there are great defects in that of Ireland-and that in the English Boroughs called OPEN, the returns are for the most part obtained for money; wherefore, upon the whole, it is the pinion of this meeting, that a great majority of the members of the Common's House are so returned, that the nation is not constitutionally represented; while yet it is taxed to support an expenditure of seventy millions sterling a year.

5. That in the act (commonly called the act of settlement) which placed the House of Bruns wick on the Throne of these realms, it was asserted and recognized as the constitutional principle, that no person, who has an office or place of profit under the King, or receives a pension from the Crown, shall be capable of serving as a member of the House of Commons."

6. That it appears by a report laid on the table of the House of Commons, in June last, that 78 of its members are in the regular receipt under the Crown of 178,9941. a year.

7. That in 1782 it was declared by Mr. Pitt, in the House of Commons, that seven or eight members of that house were sent there by the Nabobs of Arcot, and that a Foreign State, in enmity to this country, might procure a party to act for it under the mask and character of members of that House.

8. That such a state of representation is a national grievance.

9. That in every department of the State, into which inquiry has been made, scandalous cerruptions and abuses have been detected.

10. That the exclusion of the public voice from all influence in, and the consequent Corruption of, the Government of the Continental States, have been the causes of their subjugation.

11. That so long as the people shall not be fairly represented, corruption will increase our debts and taxes will accumulate; our resources will be dissipated; the native erergy of the people will be depressed; and the country deprived of its best defence against foreign foes.

12. That to remedy the great and glaring evils of which we complain, it is not necessary to have recourse to theoretical speculations, or dangerous experiments in government, but to recur to the principles hauded down to us by the wisdom and virtue of our forefathers.

13. That the remedy is to be found, and to be found only, in a full and fair representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament; a remedy equaily necessary to the safety of the Throne, and the happiness and independence of the country.

14. That we therefore recommend to every town, city, and county, to take the state of the representation into consideration, and urgent. ly, but temperately, to apply to parliament to adopt such measures as shall secure to the nation the reality and uses of representation.

Mr. MADDOCKS in supporting these resolutions stated, that he believed they contained the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He had made out a short abstract of the state of the representation in the House of Commons. There were 26 burgage tenures, that were private property, which returned 52 members; there were 51 boroughs, the voters, in each of which did not, on the average, exceed 50 in number; which boroughs returned 100 members; 23 boroughs, in each of which the number of voters did not exceed 100, returned 45

members; 25 boroughs in each of which

the voters did not exceed 200, returned 56 members. At the end of the list there were two unfortunate boroughs, the voters of which did not exceed 200, who returned four members; 257 members being precisely a majority of the leading members of the House of Commons of England, were returned by 11 375 voters. They had thus taken a view of numbers, from which he begged to divert their atthe year 1793, it was stated that 71 tention to the subject of influence. In Peers and the Treasury returned 126 members. In the calculation of the Friends of the People, in 1793, no calculation could be taken of subsequent events, which have greatly altered the state and extent of influence with respect to the representation in the House of Commons. Since 1793, 18 Peers had been created, who have influence over 39 Members, (Loud cries of Infamous! Shameful!) besides which six Baronets created since that time, have influence the Baronets, there were 206 members over 11 members. Altogether without influenced by Peers and the Treasury. The English Peers made in the present reign, returned 141 members, and the Irish Peers made during the same period, upwards of 50. There were upwards of 200 members influenced by Peers.created during the prescut reign, besides the influence they have in counties; for he had only been talking of boroughs. counties of Bucks, York, and Cambridge, were now represented by the sons of search to the bottom of the principles of Peers. He hoped the people would the Borough- Fuction. The Boroughmangers in the House of Commons, to the number of 91, returned 139 mem

The

bes.

bers. Altogether the number of members returned by corruption and by influence was 306. There were also 17 Boroughs, not containing on the average 150 voters in each, which 21 Peers and the Treasury commanded. The whole Borough Faction, together with these 17 Boroughs, returned 327 English members in the House of Commons. (Shame! Disgrace!) The English part of the House of Commons consisted of 513 members, from which deducting 327, there was a balance of 186, tolerably uninfluenced men. If therefore these 186 were deducted from the 327, there was a majority of 141 in favour of the Borough-Faction. The pensions and places of members actually sitting in the House of Commons amounted to 178,000l.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer in reporting the budget recited the different heads of supply and ways and means, as under:
