No farther accounts have been received from the Continent, a eireumflance which, however, does not prevent the circulation of abundance of rumours.— Among others of lefs note, a report, altogether void of foundation, Rates the receipt of intelligence that BONAPARTE has been taken prifoner at Vienna, with 25,000 men. Thofe who firil fet the rumour afloat kited him outright. No fuch accounts have been re ceived. There has been no arrival whatever from the Continent fence Wednefday. The want of real intelligence has alfo given room for fpeculations drawn from the aecounts.by the lall mails, but which are quite unfounded, and only ferve to (hew that the contents of the left Hamburgh papers have not been properly examined by thofe who have ventured to Elate that the Tyrol is entirely in the hands of the enemy. It has even been Paid, that all the Tyrolefe have been difarmed. In contra diftion to this we need only (late that the Ham- I burgh Correfpondent of the 26th ult. (the WO that has come to hand) gives a letter from Infpruck of the t ith, which bears a very different complexion. It is true that Martini Nev's divifion is there, but he has not obtained the free occupation of the country, nor have the Tyrolefe, who are all expert markfmcn, being much occupied in hunting, been difarmed.— On the contrary, it appears that he is haraffed by them on every opportunity. On the loth he fent a party of so chaffeurs from Infpruck to Schanberg to eeconnoitre. Of there only one man returned, all the others having been shot from their horfes by the Tyrolefe markftnen, who are difiributed in fmall par ties in the defiles among the mountains, and watch every opportunity to attack and cut off the parties belonging to the enemy. Yellerday morning, at ten o'clock, his MAJESTY left Windfor, in his travelling carriage, for London. On account of the badnefs of the road by Hounflow, his Majetly went by Richmond, where he changed horfes, and arrived at the Q2een's Palace foon after twelve o'clock, and was received by the Duke of Comslat.Aso.

BURT, the LORD CHANCELLOR, ViCCOUIIt CASTLII REACH, Lords MULGIAVE, HAwKESIURY and CATH CART, and Mr, W. DUHDAS. His MAJESTY, with the advice of the Privy Council, was pleated further to prorogue the Parliament from the 7th of January to the Tilt cf the fame month, then to meet for the difpatch of buficefs. After the Council, Lord CATHCART had an audi ence of his MAJESTY, and had the honour to, kits his MAJESTY'S hand, on his being appointed Commander in Chief of the Britifh Army on the Continent. His Majetly afterwards gave audiences to the Earl of CHATHAM, Lords MotceAvE, HAWK EMMY, and CASTLRRIAOH, and Mr. PITT, who was not at the Council.

Sir CHARLES MORGAN, the Judge Advocate-Ge neral, was prevented from making the Report of the Court Martial on Sir JOHN EAMER, to his MAJESTY yelterday, on account of his being confined with a bad Lg. Yeflerday, after the Council, the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, Lords CASTLEREAGH and CaTcricartx, and Mr. Parr, had a confultation with the Duke of YORK, at his Office.

LaR nigitt, after the Comedy of The Beaux Stratagem, a new grand legendary Melo Drame,entitled be .41- 4g_ Beauty, was performed for the firs time. Fame ilEgns this prodnaion to the Honourable Mt. &u -ltimo-row, a gentleman well known in high life ; and certainly this honeurmik author has taken uncommon pains in adapting this nudity tale of Mother Buneh to Rage reprefenration. It is merely the fable, which every child has by rote, dramatized. It would be idle, therefore, in us to give any detail of the piece. We have rarely Peen fo much cxquifite feenery. fueh gor geous and collly dreffes, or heard more indifferent mufic. In the latter, there is neither novelty nor feience, plain jcsagfong being its charaaer throngh....ut. A young lady, her hilt appearance, played theilsno kering fair; but if we miflake not molt egtegioufly , fbe is a lklifS BRISTOW, and was formerly a /prima in the Theatre. We congratulate her on her pro. motion. She is a fine figure. and will, no doubt, gain upon the public ellimation. The performers exerted themfelves to the utmoft. PARISOT delight ed the audience by a moft elegant exhibition of the graces of the dance.

Mr. Warr has refigned the fituation of Prefident of the Royal Academy; this was communicated to the Society at their meeting on Monday Lid. Extra& of a Letter from on board his Majefty's 114 Pallas, in the Downr, Dec. 5 : 44 We arrived in the Downs this day from Q2.e , bec, which we left on the 29th of Oftober, with a convoy of ten fail ; fix of this number left us in a gale of wind. We fet fire to one that was leaky,and could get no farther. The other three are fur-filips : they kept up with us remarkably well. Had we been able to heave to, we Ihould have been able to have brought the whole with us ; but for fear of being pooped or fwamped, or fome fuch accident, we durft not venture to do fo. We have done our bell, how ever, and have reafon to be fatisfied that matters are fo well." The following is an extra/I of a letter from on board the Union tranfport, in the River Elbe, oppo fite Cuxhaven, dated Nov. 18 : " After a very dangerous patfage of thirteen days ' we arrived Cafe here. One tranfport, with troops, is entirely miffing; another went upon the fands, but the troops were all Paved, and we hope to find that the other has arrived Cafe in the Weer. The wea ther is dreadful, and the coall abounds with shoals and (ands. This day we landed at Cuxhaven, dialed, and are juft returned on board. Part of the troops will debark tomorrow morning, and march imme diately for Bremen, which place, I believe, will be our head quarters. The guards follow on Thurfday —I WWI that we (hall accompany them. We hope the King of Pruffia has at laft adopted a decided courte ; indeed, we have every reafon to prefume it, as, otherwife, we could not proceed upon our march through the country we are going into.
