They all did every thing which was porn ble.

Our advanced polls are arrived at Olmutz : the Emprcfs, and all her Court, Red from it in hafte. 4‘ Colonel Corbenau, Equerry to the Emperor, commanding the Fifth Regiment of Chaffeurs, had four horfes killed under him. He was wounded on the fifth horfe, after having taken a Rand of colours. Prince Murat freaks in high terms of the brilliant 11)2mrifvres of General Kellerman, of the fine charges made by Generals Nanfouty and Hautpoult ; and, in fnli, of all the Generals, whom he abltains from naming, becaufe he fhould name them all. The foldiers of the train have merited the efteem of the whole army. The artillery did prodigious mif chief to the enemy. When a report of it was made to the Emperor, be laid, This fuccefs gives me gi eat pleafure, for I do not forget that it was in this corps I began my military career !' • Gen. Savary, Aide de Camp to his Majefty the Emperor of the French, after the interview between Napoleon and the Emperor of Germany, accompa nied the latter, to know whether the Emperor Alex ander would agree to the above mentioned capitula tion, when he found the remains of the Ruffian army without artillery or baggage, and in the greateft con fution. It was midnight, and the Auftrian General Meerfeld bad been driven from Godding by Marfhal Davoutt. The Ruffian army was inclofed, fo that a fingle man could not efcape. Prince Czartorin fici introduced General Savary to the Emperor. 4 Tell your Matter; Paid this Prince, that I (hall retire ; that yefterciuy he has performed miracles and that my aftoniffiment relpefting him has increaf col ; that he is Come chofen inftruruent of Heaver: ; and that it will require a century to make my army equal to his.'

Upon thefe conditions I have his Majefty's authority to repair to my neamft ad. vanced polls, which have already furrounded you, and to give them orders to cover your retreat.' The Emperor, willing to evince his refpeet for the friend of the Firit Conful, then laid,' But what pledge mull I give you ?' 6 Sire, your word.' 1 give it you.'— Hereupon the Adjutant withdrew, full gallop, to Marffial Davouft, to whom he communicated orders to halt, and put a flop to all the movements of the army, and to remain quiet. 44 May this aft of generofity of the Emperor of the French, be not fo Coon forgotten in Italia as that noble proceeding of the Emperor, who fent back fix thoufand men to the Emperor Paul, with fo much refpea and marks'of edeem for him. General Sa vary converfed an hour with the Emperor of Ruffia, whom he found to be a man of fence and firmnefs, notwithflanding the misfortunes which he had met. This Monarch afked him the particulars of the *llion. ' You,' (aid he, ' were inferior in numbers to me, and yet you were more numerous at the points of at tack." ' Sire,' replied the General, it is the art of war, and the refnit of fifteen years of glory ; it is the fortieth battle the Emperor has !Ought That is sue, he is a great warrior. As to myfelf, this is the firti time I have feen fire. I never prefumed to com pare myfelf with him.' Sire, when you have ex perience, you will, perhaps, excel him. I (ball return to my capital. I came to affitt the Emperor of Germany ; he has fent to inform me that he is fa tisficd ; fo am I.' as In his interview with the Emperor of Germany, the Emperor laid, ' M. and Madame Colloredo, bleffrs.

" An Auftrian Major prefented himfelf at the ad vanced poll, bearing difpatehes from M. de Cobentel to M. de Stadion, at Vienna. The Emperor Paid,' I will have nothing to do with that man, who has fold Eimfelf to England to pay his debts, and who bat ruined his Matter and his country, following the ad vice of his utter and Madame Colloredo.' 6' The Emperor has paid particular attention to Prime John of Lichtenfteln s he Paid feveral times, How, when there are men of fish high diftiralion, fan one Mier his affairs to be condulEted by fools and intriguers ?' In fait, Prince Lichtenftein is one of the perfons the molt ditlinguiffied, not only for his mili tary talents, but for his charafier and information. 4, It is cald, that the Emperor oblerved, after his conference with the Emperor of Germany, This man makes me commit a fault, lir I could follow up nay vi Rory, and take the whole Ruffian and Auffrian rmy, but a few tears the lefs will be flied." riURTY-SP.COND BULLETIN OF THZ GRAND ARMY. iturraatirz, Dsc. 6.—" General Friant, at the battle of Aulterlitz, had four horfes killed under bim ; Cdoncis Conrouit and Demouttier dillinguithed thernfelves.

Long AnA. s 6 x5./6 17 Coal for ace. 6st 6oti4 The deplorable intelligence which has already been communicated in this Paper, is unhappily confirmed in its fulleft extent, as our Readers will fee by the ample, extra is which we this day lay before them from Paris Journals to the 18th, and Dutch to the 23d inftant. An Arrnillice, or at the aft ought more properly to be called; the tnignafifelfulogion of Aerie, and con fequently that of Ruffia to whatever terms Naroiaotr may propore, was concluded between the Emperors of Germany and France on the 4th, and formally figned on the 6th inft. Not a doubt can now remain, whatever may be the infatuation of our topers, that the Confederacy is completely diffolved. The battle of Aufferlitz left the two Emperors no alternative but to furrender at difcretion, for it is idle to talk of Treaty when the Conqueror gives the law. The Arrniffice puts it in the power of BONAPARTE to impofe jolt what terms he pleafes. From the papers before us, we have no reafon whatever to believe that there was any fighting on the 3d and 4th inftant, and confequently we infer that all the accounts, official as well as denai-official, to that effea, which have been circulated in this country, are direst falfehoods. The details of the battle of the zd differ but lit tle from the account publifbed in the Vienna Ga zette of the 6th ; but we learn from the Thirtieth Bulletin that much diplomatic artifice had been ufed on both fides previous to that fatal day. So far back as the 27th ult. Bortaraart offered a projea of an ar miltice, which, it would appear, was either peremp-1 ' torily rejeaed, or only entertained for the purpofe of gaining time. He afterwards propofed an in terview to the Emperor of Russia, which was an fwered by the million of Prince Dotooaucsr,who, it the end of his conference, required the ceffioa of Bel gium, and the feparation of the Crown of Italy from that of France. This Iron Crown was to have been placed upon the head of one of the molt implaca ble enemies of France." Who this implacable enemy is, we are at a lofs to determine ; except it be fume of the branches of the Houfe of Bouason, whom it has pleated BONA PARTE fo to defcribe. The French EPA, a ROR has behaved with more mag nanimity than many people would have been inclined to ex pea from his charaaer. No convention appears to have been entered into with Ruffia. The Emperor ALExamora rejeas BONAPARTE'S propofal of an in terview, fends an Adjutant to him with intuiting propofitions, and yet the latter no fooner has the Ruffian army in his toils, than he fuffers them to re-' tire, upon the bare word of their Emperor. Thefe are instances of complaifance and confidence which we fhould fcarcely have expefted, particularly after the breach of the Convention of Hollabrunn, complained of in a former Bulletin; but every par of NAPOLION'S condua has but one objea in view— the fubjugation of this country. die may obtain to himfelf the charatter of moderation without , any fa • crifice whatever. The Houfe of Auftria &Its only by his fufferance ; and from the Baltic, to the farthett extremity of Italy, thete is not a Sovereign or Prince wbo holds his power at this moment by any other tenure. .• Such are the dreadful tidings or this day from the. :ontiaent. _ _ The Britifis Public will be divided in their (ma tions: the weak and fel6lh will droop—thole who have been duped by the vain-glorious bulls of de luding men, will (budder at our fituation—thebrtive will take arms to prepare for our hilt defence— Venit fumtna dies et induaabile teutpus.
