The Critical Review for February, 1817.shot. And again the reviewer says, we will notice but one other fact, in the way of observation on the nobleness of charac ter attributed by our author to Joachim. In the war with Austria which preceded the peace of Presburg, the French did not enter Vienna until the 13th November, when it was evacuated by the native troops. M urat commanding the advance, marched onwards to take possession of the city while there was a corps of Austrians, under Prince Aurs burg stationed at the bridge of the Danube, for the purpose of destroying it in case of necessity. Preparations had been made, and that necessity had arrived. What was the expedient by which Murat avoided this consequence, that would have considerably retarded the march of his army into Mora via, whither the emperor with his court had for safety withdrawn? He rode in full speed to the Prince, and assured him, on his word of honour, that an armistice had been concluded; and by this infamous falsehood be accomplished his purpose.
