VIENNA, NOVEMBER a. From the preparations made by the French, there is every reafun to believe that they will loon truer Hungary. They have already prepared a procla mation to the Hungarian Nation, in the French, Latin, and Hungarian languages, which they intend to diftribute on their entrance into the and in which it is Rated that the Emperor NAPOLE . OII in fetting foot in Hungary, has no objet other than to force the Emperor of Auftria to make peace; that he will, in confequence i .refpeet the rtligion and the coniiitution of the country, and guarantee the pro perty and liberty of individuals. Every Frenchman, it is Rated, who acts contrary to there principles, will be punifhed with death ; but his Majelly the Emperor of the French hopes, in his turn, that the nation will receive the viEtorrous 4,my with refpea, will take care of its maintenance, and will'not fuller any offence to be given to it, which will be puniibed with levet ity. The Count de PALFY has quitted Prefootirg, and conferred the command of that town on Major BUTTN le. Nov. 3o.—We have certain advices of the French having entered Pretbourg in the afternoon of the 271 h. One column marched into the counties of Edenbourg, Eifenberg, and Wiefelburg. We do not yet know whether they have occupied thof.: towns, but it is certain they will loon become the theatre of bloody fcenes, as a column of Ruffian troops marched from Curio, by Dalmatia and Cro atia, to Hungary, and the levy ea rsta .

A Bulletin in the French and German language has been polled up at the corners of the ftreeti, which Rates that the Army of Italy has effeeted a junCtion with the Grand French army; that the French are mailers of.

Some days ago a deputation of four Magi(: aces from Paris arrived here, who brought to his Imperial Majefty of the French the congratulations of nis good city of Paris. On the 27th November, the Order of the Day, which was iffiaed from the French head quarters at Bruno, contained the following proclamation : tg The Emperor hears with dtfpleafure of the dif. orders which have taken place in the rear of thc army, and which have rifen to inch a degree as to demand his Majelly's ferious attention. Some worthlefs men, who leek to difhonour the army, and who, inllead of repairing to their ftandards and facing the enemy, lag behind for the perpetration of crimes. His Majefly orders that five moveable columns (hall be formed, each of which fhall be under the command of an Au jutant or Captain, a Chef d'Eicadron, a Captain of Infantry, an Officer of the Gens d'Armerie, and a Civil Magiftrate, who than each have the duty of giving in regular reports refpeaing the difitias in which their refpeslive columns keep the peace.

But tie learned that the centre of the Allies was defeated ofs the ad; that they had renewed the battle on the 3d; that it lalled during the whole of the 4th, and probably into the sth, and that the tide teemed completely turned in favour of the Ruilans. " No?hing could exceed the enthufiafm . ofjly at Berlin, on learning that the Emperor ALIMANDB; was Life, after difplaying the molt tunfceaciant he roifrn. " Government have all received advice: from a re fpedable quarter, detailing the particulars, the firm of which feems to be, that, on the ad, the French attack ed the Allies on their march ; that they direfted their whole efforts aganift the centre, which, not being formed when the attack commenced, they fucceeded in defeating, after a bloody conflict of feveral hours, in which the centre loft the whole of its artillery ; that the Allies retreated from the field to Wifcbau, and did not feem to have been followed by the French —fo that the Emperor ALEXINDLR, who had dif played the moil determined courage on the 2d, re newed the battle on the gd and 4th, and by his ar dent fortitude and example, turned tlle fortune of the erriteft in favour of the Ruffians. He rode through the Truitt tremendous fire, calling out to the • ti icroty OR DFATM, which was returned exclamations from his troops, that they never would jorfriie their Emperor. The Ruffians having loft their artillery on the 2d, were on chefs days reduced to fight with the (word and bayonet ; and the final re fult was, that the Emperor recovered all his cannon, andthe whole ground he had loft. The French were driven from the field beyond Aufterlitz, wi.en the battle of the 2d commenced, and after Wards retired behind the Swartz, with their left at Brunn, and their right at Nicolfburg. " A Foreign Minitter of datinaion here has receiv ed a letter from Hamburgh, Rating, that an Efla fette from Berlin paired through Harnburgh on the ith, confirming the preceding news. The fame letter adds, that the Emperor Axe:Amon had three horfes killed under him—that the artillery and all the prifoners were retaken at the end of the fir& day's battle—and that the French were retiring, pour ainfi dire, to Vienna. Mr. BOEHM, an eminent merchant, has a letter which afferts, that Brunn has been retaken by the Allies. " No accounts are received of the amotriet of the killed and wounded." The Eflafette alluded to in the above was Do. NALDSON, the Meffenger, who was unfortunately wrecked on the coact of Holland on Friday laft, and landed at Dover on Wednefday from an American veffel, as ftated in our Paper of yellerday. He could only confirm vetbally the fatirfaetory tenor of the intelligence of which he was the bearer, the official difpatcl.cs having been loft. To the above official communication we have now to add ilveral letters, received by the mail of etter day, all of which are important,and tend to explain Rill more fully the movements of the contending ar mies, and their varied fuccefs, till victory declared in favour of the Ruffians. BERLIN, DECEMBER to. We received, the day before yeflerday, intelligence of a decifive battle which cock place near Turas, be twein the Ruffians and the French, and which ter• minated entirely to the advantage of the former.— The lofsof both armies iseflimatedat twenty fire thou fend men. But what caufed the greatea difquietude amongfl the Aullro Ruffian army, was their being ignorant, during the whole day of the 3d, of the fituation of the Emperor of Ruffia, it not besirg known what had become of that Monarch. Happily yellerday we received in this repeal the molt fatisfac• il I
