Some Pruffian regiments marched by Lubz and' Plan on the ztit. FROM THB LOWE& ELSE, OCT. i5...4n the courfe of next week it is probable that the ?ruffians and Ruffians will occupy Hanover in conjunEtion. The report of a declaration of war, on the part of Pruaia, is premature. The relations of this Potentate with France will probably depend on the anfwer of the Emperor NAPOLRON to the !aft ?ruffian Note deli veted by Baron Hammett° to Dultoc and ..1,1.• soetsr, refpaling the march of the troops through the territory of Anfpach. They write from Stralfund dated OEtober zo, that the Ruffians landed there, have already broken up for the Dutchy of Mecklenburg; as alto the Swedith troops, with their artillery. The German regiments, in the fervi..e of Sweden, will accompany the former. The King of Sweden will in perfon command the Combined Ruffian and Swedifh Army : his field-equi page is already arrived at Stralfund. A reinforce. anent of cavalry and infantry is tweeted horn Sweden. From Lauenburg, dated the 23d Oftober, they write, that the Ruffian troops would pats through that place on Friday and Sunday; and that, on Monday, Pruffians would march through. It is not yet cer tain if the whole corps will march through the coun try of Lauenburg at once, or in feparate columns. STRALSUND, OCT.

Several of the tnnfports have failed for Lubeck with provilions.— Several Chips will fail for Yttad this day, to bring the Swedifh troops over.

Fr:cm THi MAINE, OCT. 19.—Tbey write from Stutgard, that the gates of that city are barricadoed every night, far fear of being furprifed by an Auf. trian corps.

SIATE PAPAL • The Vienna Court Gazette, of the tfrth of Oa°. bar, contains a " True Statement of She Conde of the Sant Elam Palatine," of which the following ta an abridgment " The Serene Eleaor Pilatine has publifised an hiftorical flatement, in which he owns Mar& an ally of France, and declares war spina Auflria wad . Ruffle, main, by falfe allegations, the breach of promife be had made to the Roman Emperor, of cedes tog bis troops to him. " Not content with the indemnifications the Serene Eleaor had received by the Conclufum of the Em pire of z7th April, tBo3. he fuffered himfelf, from ambition, to be drawn into fecret engagements with France, which proved, on every occafion, to tend fylbernatically to countered Auftria. " As his ambitions hopes relied principally upon the profpeas of a frefh attack with which the Court of Vienna was menaced by France on every occafion, thole gradual armaments which his Majefty was com pelled to make from the preparations , made by the Emperor NAPOLEON, became an obje& of the Serene Eleaor's attention. His firft defign was to raife .numeroos army in Bavaria, and to hold it in readi• twit for the French Emperor. The quicknefs of the Auftrian armament prevented the execution of that intention, and the Eleaor chofe rather to haften to go and join the French with all his troops, leaving his Bavarian and Suabian elates to their own fate, than to difeppoint the expeaation of the enemy of public tranquillity ; confequently the whole of the Bavarian artillery was fent to Wurtzburgh, the Bavarian and Swabian troops were affembled, and a French Gene ral was prefent, to prepare every thing agreeably to the defire of the Emperor NAPOLEON. His Serene Highnefs the Eleaor had alio prepared for his depar ture. when Prince Sot watzsm stars arrived at Mu nich, on the 6th of September. • " The danger that the Eleaor Palatine would join the French, was indubitable ; confequendy a ferrous demand for the celLon of troops became a jolt mea• Cure of Pelf-defence. " The Valor agreed to the demand verbally and in writing. He wrote to the Prince, on the 7th Sep. tember, with his own hand : ' I am refolved ; confer with the MinitFer Mow 'mous, on the conditions.'— The Minifter confirmed his Sovereign's refolution, and propofed the coedit bat the Eleaor's own Regiment, and that of tbri Pattoral Prince &mild remain at the difpofal of big Serene Highnefs ; and that Munich and Nymphenburgh (hould be exempted from the patrage of Aullrian troops. The agreement was to be concluded at Haag on the &Rowing day. • 41 On the Bth of September, Count No4a ma. was fent off to the Emperor, with a letter from the Elec tor, beginning in the following words:—' I have this morning ordered my Minifter to conclude an agree ment with Prince SCHWARZ Etlllllo3 in purfuances which I than unite my forces to th ole of your 'mpg. rial and Royal Majelly, to give you a proof of my inviolable devotion.' No fooner had Count NncA. ROLA let off with this letter, and even before Prince Scrswaitaseasao could go from Munich to Haag, than the Serene Elator left Bavaria in the night of the Bth, and withdrew all his troops by forced marches, having emptied all the public cheas, and taken with him even the depoficed bonds, and widows and orphans' elates; whence it became necelfary to put a (top to the further dtawing of annuities, fcc. to prevent a total ftagnation of the whole A.dminittra t ion of the country. " When Prince SCHWA/A[74EIRO and General Mace arrived at Haag, the EleftOr's intention of flying from his engagement war no longer fecret.— After they had waited a long while, there appeared ; a Palatinate Lieutenant Colonel, &ming. by his tone i and propofals, quite different from thole of Munich, ' that a pretence was fought for breaking off a nugatory negotiation. It was refufed to leave the Elelloral troops in Bavaria; their ceffion was to be deferred till the war had altually commenced. and they were always to remain together as a feparate body. " After what had happened, the Alsatian Gene rals could not confent to leave an independent and numerous corps in the rear and flank of the Aufirian army, which was battening forward. " The Bavarian troops were not to be embodied by men or companies with the Alsatians, as has been falfely alerted on the Palatinate part, but to remain together, in whole regiments or brigades. The entry of the Auttrian and Ruffian troops in Germany had been notified to the Serene EleZtor, who had only made the esception of the diaritas of Munich and Nymphenburgh. " As to the requilitions made for the maintenance of the Auttrian troops, they are become indilpenfa bin, from the general praetice of the French army, as no other power could otherwife cope with it. How ever, fince the entry of the French, the raft difference between their mode of railing requifitions, and the Alsatians, has been experienced. 4 6 Nevertheleis, to remove every pretence, his Ma jetty declared by his Eovoy, Count BuoL, that he accepted the condition of leaving the Palatine troops together in a feparate corps. The objellion flared in the Serene Elettot's letter of September Bth, namely, that the Eledloral Prince was in France. was already removed, by the wife precaution of the Prince.— Count Bum. was even empowered to be finally fatif fied with the difmilfal (intlead of the ceffion) of the troops, by the way of furlough, or even of the Bava rian troops alone. " All was refufed. The French troops were re ceived by the Eleitor with open arms, and all the Palatine troops joint(' them. They take the field againft his Majetty, and againa the Emperor 6/ Ruffle, and war has been declared. " In a word, the Elector became falfe to his word,_ which he had given as a Prince and as a man ; falfe to his people, and to his Emperor ; to the proved friendlhip of the Znaperor AL' unpile ; to the lieu rity and welfare or Germany, and of Europe, which depend on the event of this war compelled by France. This is the true flatement of a conduct, which the loyal fubjeas of that Prince londipleprecate, at which the honourable and patriotic feelings of his brave uoop• revels, who are 'tow Bedding thsh . blood, not foe the deNveranee of Germany, but far its enemies,l sad who are compelled to Rain their hands with German blood."

Difpatthes of which the followipg are Copies, were received at the Admiralty Othee this day, at one o'clock, A. M. from Vice Admiral Cullioprood, Commander in Chief of his Majeity's Ships and yeireis of Culls Zap's*, off Cape Trafalgar, 04. ss. Sir—The ever to be lamented death of Vice Ad miral Lord Vifcount Milano, who, ip the late con- . I flia with the enemy, fell in the hoar of vianry, lemons to me the duty of informing my Lords ConinsiMon. ers of the Admiralty, that on the tptla Whin, it was communicated to the Commander in Chief from the flips watching the motions of the enemy in Cadiz, that the combined fleet bad put to feu ; as they fail ed with light winds wefterly, his Lordfhip concluded their deflination was the Mediterranean, and imme diately made all fail for the Streights' entrat.ce, with the Bridal fquadron, confining of twenty (even flips, three of them fisty-fours, where his Lordfhip was informed by Captain Bi.acawpun (whofe vigilance in watching, and giving notice of the eoemy's•move menu, has been highly meritorious) that they bad not yet paired the Streights. .On Monday the 21ft innant, at day-light, when Cape Trafalgar bore E. by S. about (even leagues, the enemy was dircovered fie or feven miles to the 'eallward, the wind about well, and very light, the Commander in Chief immediately made the fignal tot the fleet to bear up in two columns, as they are formed in order of failing ; a mode of attack his Lordfhip had previoufly direfled, to avoid the incon venience and delay in forming a line of battle in the pfnal manner. The enemy's line confined of thirty thin flips (of which IS were French and is Spa•. pith) commanded in chief by Admiral Vt se sure; ' the Spaniards under the direaion of GIAVINA, wore, with their heads to the northward, and formed the line of battle with great clofenefs and correanefs ; but as the mode of attack was unufual, fo the ftruc cure of their line was new ; it formed a crefcent con: vexing to leeward—fo that, in leading down to their centre, had both their van and rear, abaft the beam : before the fire opened, every alternate fhip was about a cable's length to windward of her fecond a-head, and a-ftern, forming a kind of double line, and appeared, when on their beam, to leave a very little interval between them; and this without crowd.' lag their ibips. Admiral Vtassaavya was ht the • Beeentaure in the centre, and the Prince of AV. rias bore Gaavrma's flag in the rear ; but the. FEM.:. and Spanith flips were mixed without any aprarcht regard to order of national fquadron. As the mode of our attack had been previoully dr termined on, and communicated to the Flag Officers and Captains, few Signals were necefary, and none were made, except to diced clofe order as the lines bore down. _ _ _ I.' The Commander in Chief in the Vicroav led the weather column, and the Royal. Somme, which bore my Lag, the lee. The anion began at twelve o'clock, by the lead ing (hips of the columns breaking through the ene my's line, the Commander in Chief about the tenth fhip from the van, the Second in Command about the twelfth from the rear, leaving the van of the enemy unoccupied ; the fucceeding (hips breaking through, in all parts, afters of their leaders, and en gaging the enemy at the muzzles of their guns ;_ the contlie was fivere ; the enemy's !hips were fought with a gallantry highly honourable to their officers, but the attack on them was irrelittable, and it pleaded the Atte tour: Difpofer of all Events, to grant his Majefty's arms a complete and glorious Viftory ; about three P.M. many of the enemy's Sips having ftruck their colours, their line gave way ; Admiral Giants*, with ten !hips joining their fri gates to leeward, flood towards Cadiz. The five headmoft Ships in their van tacked, and (landing to the fouthward, to windward of the Britillt line, were engaged, and the fternmoll of them taken ;—the others went off, leaving to his Majefty's fquadroa nineteen fbips of the line, (of which two are firft rates, the SantiWma Trinidad and the Santa Anna) with three Flag Officers, viz. Admiral Vatteu any:, the Commander. in Chief, Don Ica Arlo Meat& D'Ativa, Vice Admiral, and the Span& Rear Ad. iniral Don Bat razes HIDALGO CISA EROS. After fuch a viltory it may appear unneceffary to enter into encomiums on the particular parts taken by the feveral Commanders ; the conclulion• fays more on the fubjeft than I have language to copiers; the fpirit which animated all was the fame ; when all exerted themfelves re:loony in their country's fervice, all deferve that their high merits thould Rand recorded ; and never was high merit more confpitoons than in the battle I have defctibed. The Achille (a Trench 7k), after baring &Trek Jered, by Tome mifwanagement of the Frenchmen took fire and blew up; two hundred of her men were fated by the tenders. A circumitance occurred during the aftion, which fo lirongly marks the invincible fpirit of Arid& fa. men, when engaging the enemies of their country, that I cannot refia the plenfure I have in making it known to their Lordfhips ; the TEXlllaitt was boarded by accident, or defign, by a French dip on one fide, and a Spaßiard on the other; the con 7 tea was vigorous, hot. in the end, the combined en ! figns Pere torn from the poop, and the Orient hoill ed in their places. Such a battle could not be fought without fultain ing a great lots of men. I have not only to lament, in common with the Britiffi Navy, and the British Nation, in the fall of the Commander in Chief, the lots of a Hero, whofe name will be immortal, and his memory ever dear to his country ; hot my heart is tent with the moll poignant grief for the death of a Friend, to whom, by many years intimacy, and a perfea knowledge of the virtues of his mind, which infpired ideas fuperior to the common race of men, I was bound by the flrongeft ties of affeftion ; a grief to which even the glorious occafion in which he fell, does not brin the confutation which perhaps it ought ; his Lord ihip received a mu(ket ball in his left tweak about the middle of the anion, and fent an officer to me immediately with his laft fare well; and loon after expired. I have alto to lament the lots of thofe excellent officers, Captains Dort, of the Maas, and Cooke, of the Bettstiov mow ; I have yet heard of no °titers. I fear the numbers that haire fallen will be fdbad rely great, when the returns come to me; bit it having blown a gale of wind ever (Inc. the *llion, 1 hate not yet had it in tRy power to 0;114 any re potte !tom the ships. The *Orli.

I (kilted. my lag to her, that I might more cagily communicate my orders to. and collea the Rtips, and towed the Revs:. Sorsastom out to feaward. The whole fleet were now in a very peri lous fituation, many difmalled ; all Chattered in this. teen fathom water, off. the Shoals of Trafalgar, and when I made the Fingal to prepare to anchor, few of the (tips had an anchor to let go, their cables being (hot; but the fame good Paomeacs which aided us through fuch a day, preferved us in the night, by the wind fhifting a few points, and drifting the (hips off the land, except four of the captured difmalled (hips, which are now at anchor off Trafalgar, and I hope will ride fafe until thofe gales are over. Having thus detailed the proceedings of the fleet on this occafion, I beg to congratulate, their Lore.?
