A quadruple alliance is (we know not on

and sent forward his army under the di

LONDON, July 6.
Sieyts cannot forgive Buonaparte for
having torn from him the consular fafces,
he obtained by a lengthened series of crimes,
mean compliances, treachery, and tergiver
sation. He cannot tiring himfelf to regard
as his milter the man whom he thought
fufficiently honoured by being employed as
his lieutenant. A few days before the
Chief Consul set off for Dijon, Sieyes con
cluded a train of reproaches, which he had
made in the hearing of more than twenty
persons, refpefting the e r asures which
Buonaparte permits from the lift of emi
grants, with faying, " Buonaparte,you wilh
to make yourfelfa king, and every ftepyou
take brings'.you i earei the throne." Sieyes,'
cooly replied Buonaparte "my country has
made roe a general, I with to die a general.
If I had happened to be born a king, I
(hould have died a king, and had it been
my fortune to have been educated a priest,
I (hould r mained a priest, and I (hould
have died faying mass." This sarcastic re
ply prodaced a general laugh against the
Abb' 1 ,
When Buonaparte, after refig'iing the
crmmaad of the aimy of England, had set
out from Paris t" Kaftadt, he pafled on his
way through Basle. There liv«d then in
that city a very rich Banker, who was a
decided royalist. His hatred against
innovation was such. that though he could
not withhold his esteem from the virtuous
Barthelemy, yet he never could prevail or
himfelf to go into the fame company with
him ; i»or indeed were auy sf the Minis
ter* or agents of France pemitted to enter
his house At a little diltar.ee from the
gates of Basle this Baker had a superb
country house, which almost all strangers
vilited from curiosity, and where ihey were
received with the most cordial hofpitali y.
It was not doubted that Buonaparte would
have willingly gone hither, if the proprietor
had expressed any defue to fee him.
The honest Swiss was requested to fend
Buonaparte an invitation, and at the fame
time to permit twenty five Austrian soldiers
to conceal themselves in-the house, with the
view of seizing his person during tha night,
and of conducing him to the fartrefs where 1
the brave Bournonville was condemned to
langui(h thirty two months. The banker
was (hocked at the base offer, and the pride
of his integrity was still further hurt, when
a very considerable sum »f money was pro
mised as a reward of his compliance. He
instantly declared, that instead of being ac
ceflary to so infamous a plot, he would be
the firft to discover it to Buonaparte, if he
(hould perceive any-suspicious movements,
either in his own house or the vicinity. To
this man, whom the influence of political
sentiment had rendered his enemy did the
conqueror of Italy own his preservation.
DELIJNGEN, June 16,
On the 13th instant, the Austrian Gene
ral, count Sztarray, was compelled by the
fiiperior force of the enemy to retreat by the
Zufmerthaufen and Wattenhaufen. He
withdrew, with'a part of hi* troops, over
the bridge of Goniburgh, to the left bank
oftheDanubp. On the 14th and 15th, a
new a&ion took place, in which the troops
of th« Empire were engaged. Tn the mean
time the left wing of the French army ad
vanced from Biberach, between the Danube
and'tbe Lech. The French have likewise
advanced from Kempton, and palled the
Lech.
ULM, June 19.
On the 17th, in the afternoon, an afti
on took at Leiphelm, near G un/brug, on
the right bank of the Danube. The coun
try here is level, and the Austrian cavalry
were able to aft with good effeft, of which
we had a proof by 2®o prisoners being
brought in, moll of whom had very severe
sabre wounds.
RATISBON, Jnne 20.
The report that the French had entered
Munich and Ratifbon is unfounded. They
have not hitherto made any considerable
movements in Batavia. The corps which
pa fled the Lech at Friedberg hat partly
withdrawn towards the Danube, and Gen
eral Meerveldt has agiin adtanced. Mo
