LAW REPORT. BVCHAN V. SWAINJON. This was an attion brought by Dr. Buchan to recover damages against Mr. Swainfon, Proprietor of Velno's Vegetable Syrup. Mr. Erfkine, Counsel for the Plaintiff, ftafed that his Client having, in a book which he publish ed, made some unfavourable observations upon the vegetable syrup, Mr. Swainfon infeited an adver tisement in a morning paper, refle&ing very severe ly upon Dr. Buchan. Mr. Erfkine said, he was not inflrudled by his client to make any attack up on Mr. Swainfon, or to decry the virtues of his medicine ; but he conceived that Dr. B. had a right, in a fair disquisition on a medical fubjeft, to give an opinion upon that, or any other medicine. He (hea called a witness to prove the publicati on of the advertisement by the defendant. After which, Mr. Mingay made a very ingeni ous speech for the defendant.—He contended that Dr. Buchan had no right to complain ,of this as- ' fault upon his character, because it appeared that he had given the firft blow ;he began the attack by ' abuiing ihc defentlanr'r TireStclne, the property of > wbichfhe had purchased at a great expence, and ■ consequently was extremely anxious, to protest it. 1 Mr. Mingay said, he had a number of witnesses in ' his brief, who, from experience, could prove the < efficacy of this syrup in a certain cafe ; but he 1 thought it would not be quite proper to call them. Lord Kenyon made fpvcral observations upon the ease—said that he belived many of these medicines 1 were efficacious, but might be produ&ive of great ; saifchief, by btiog taken without proper advice. f The Jury, which was a special one, withdrew for t a quarte- of an hoOr; after which they brought in a c verdidt for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. c B £7be following y tho' not of a very recent date, diftlo- 1 fes some interejiing p'aritcular su FRANCKFORT, June 5. - i 1 returned ycfterday from Baumholder, which was then the head-quatters of the Imperial and Royal c atmy. 1 have seen a good Seal, but "have heard r more; io the course of this letter I hope to be able w to prove both these assertions. . 11 The troops ih geneial appeared animated with' c< the mod fanguineexpc<3ation of success ; they jorut ai «d for an engagement, and promised to rout the n enemy, wherever they should find them. The ar mistice has done wonders for the allied army the men look well; and being refrefhed, and much bet- if terclothed than usual, their appearanee isconfider- f< ablyin favour of the cause for which they are so tl eager to aft. l( is greatly to be lamented, however , w that the Austrian Officers are tired of the war ; b and that idea has, in too frequent instances, fnp- e' pressed every sentiment of loyalty and of rational ft patriotism. This may appear a paradox to those o who areaccumftomed to hear the Austrian officers ai spoken of with enthusiastic commendation ; but It their difaffe&ion i* as plain a matter of fad, as it is P a real fu'ojeS of regret. The soldiers know and g speak of it ; but they are resolved to do their duty, si in defiance of the bad example which too many of their superiors think proper to'give them. There ar«,of course, fevtrral honourable exceptions. 7 Lift Sunday, the 29th ult. the whole French ft line fired a grand feu d; joye, as an act of tfiankfgiv- R iiig for their unparalelled success in Italy. General V Jourdan had previously informed his Royal High-, liefs the Archduke of his intentions, left any alarm si flioiild be caused, by the firing, in the Allied army, w The 3"! ft, at three quarters after twelve, the 1 r< French partially attacked the out-pofls* and took a few prisoners of-Latour's dragoons. They attcmp- u ted to make themfelvcs mafterjfc>f Kirn, which du- E ring the cessation of hostilities was considered, on ti both fides, as a neutral village ; but they were de- t< seated by M. General Schellenber, after a smart contest. The Saxons, in that affair, as in all others, behaved well, and took about 50 prisoners, h It was*remarked, rather judiciously, as being fin. I gular, that the Archduke, who had put art end to C the armifticc, should have allowed his outposts to r< be attacked, asit was pretty generally expeftcd that tl the Allies would have commenced the hostilities, a; their previous conduit appearing to have been an rr earnest of such intentions. The Archduke, who had advanced very far, fc thought fit to retire to Meffenheim, where head ti quarters are to be this evening ; this falling off ex- I* cites no small degree of astonishment ; as the allies tl retreat, the French march on ; and it is extremely nn pjobable that General Jourdan will have his'head- H quarters to-day at Baumholder. It was theopini- al on of the Allied-Generals that the enemy would tc have immediately crossed the Mofella at the com- 01 sneiicem-ent of hostilities; but they reckoned with k< out their holl. The tft of June the Prince of Wurtemberg was la attacked, forced by the French to pass the gi Sieg with some Iqfs ; the day following, howefcr, be the Prince had the advantage, drove the enemy, cr and took his former position. The Republicans la are not in force at Deux-Ponts but their Camp H nrar S.heweigen is very formidable. The affairs in Italy continue to wear a cloudy 2fl afpeft ; theeotmy on the 30th ult. had not entered ve the Pope's dnmtnions ; but, at fcveral points, they m; had marched into the Venetian territory, which in no frawiton of Uesty irritated, beyocd the th; Senate and the people. The French had reached as far as Brescia, thirty-eight leagues from the ca pita! sfthe Republic. The 28th, General 13cau F lieu was within eight leagues of Manrya, which has plenty of provifioni, and has 800 oxen within its walls. The Tyrolian.i are all volunteering in de fence of whatever they hold most dear and sacred ; 1 ing in proportion as they are equipped th'ey join the ar nd, my. It seems to be the indention of the French to < ing march to lnfpruck and Muniih ; but there is a -ees moral certainty that they will be too vigotoufly lit- opposed, to be able to effedt their all destroying pur on pole. The Tyroleans are excellent soldiers, and go c lies to battle with more pleasure than, several other rta -ajl t ions proceed to a feait. 1 ich Count Metternich is on his way to the Court of J de- London, on matters of the htgheft moment; mer- :lu- chants here, of the firft refpeftability, go so far as t lef- to assert thai they have certain proofs that his mis- 1 lion has a pacificatory tendency ; and what goes still more to fandiion their belief is, that Heid- Quarters are expefled to be at Mentz, to-morrow si evening. A Courier is arrived from Vienna, with g to orders to the Afchduke to hold himlelf on the de- h tor fen five ! You will of course ask why his Royal si Highsefs interrupted the armiftlce ?—My answer si ed is Nefcio. Why, having put an end to the armif. 0 fh- tice, did the French show themselves so eager to a he recommence hostilities ?—Nefcio again. Why, as- v er- ter havingadvanced above sixty miles, did the Prince tl re- conceive the idea of returning to his former pofiti- tl r as 011 ?—Nefcio ! Some fay, that want of provisions E p. is the cause ; others assign other reasons ; —The -I lis womb of time, however, is pregnant with grand, a perhaps with events, to ■ ie, of Government with the Ar.- K ti. my ot the Rhine, and Moselle to the Executive k Directory. 1i ii- " Head.Q_narters at Artzheim, June 9. at " The Austrian army, which had fp bravely le if. broken the j t flying as fafi. as possible, a t without firing a shot.

We have - every reason to believe, that the Directory will fuf- B ,1 fer no opportunity to escape of meriting the title e of benefadtors ot Europe, by concluding, as (oon s as -possible, with all the Continental Powers, at jh. t least, a peace worthy of the new fortunes of the Gi s Republic.

After an engagement of four j hours, as bloody as obstinate, victory was uncertain. n General Collaud, equally irritated at the iofs of his troops and the'reliftance of the enemy, ordered the charge to be beaten.
