Mails, that were due alfo, reached the Poll Office. Ey thefe Mails the important intelligence has been received, that the Emperor of the French bat re:plied the *natation of his Pruffian Metjelly ; that dm latter has tam the field, and that his amnia are in moticut towards Frs.. cootie. Such is the 4sbftance of the intelligence from liaraburgh. It is further Rated that the Dale of Bemirteu'r headquarters have been transferred to Gottingen; that ;be Keno, with the garrifon of Berlin, ben gone tovareh Saxony; and that the Prujan troops are roacuatiug Nano- Ver. All thefe movements have probably one °Neff —the concentration of a (hong force to twat . ; BONA PARTE, and force him to a battle, before he can ap• proach his reinforcements by a retreat. It would be ridiculous, however, to pretend to develope the pro bable movements of the Allies. A little time Fill unfold them, and demonstrate how far their cir cumtlances have been improved by the acceffion of Prnffia—an event that 'fecnas 'calculated to produce atoll important confequenees. The French have already begun to fall back, and the united Ruffian and Auftrian armies are advanc ing by forced marches. On the 29th the head quar l i - ters of the two Emperors were at Witchan, and on the la ialtant at Krizanowitz. According to the prefent accounts, the French, feem iefirous to avoid a battle, probably till they in their turn concentrate 'their force. Our Readers will recoiled that by a trick of General Muita'r; Giant AULRSZER3 was prevented from burning the biddies of Vienna—the former having informed him by a flag of truce that an armiftice had been conCluded. 'ln confequence of this rule de seem, the Aullnan army being espied to confiderahle danger, played off ano ther trick in their turn—They pretended they wilted to quit ,the Ruflidns s - and, bf this mans; gained time to :effea thtt: junaion thtm; and the'lat. ter by it pretended treaty otithMnaav, gained tithe to area their junaion 'with BushoVden. This explains the ftipPofed capitulation of theßuf liens. announced Co pompoufly in 'the French Bulle tins. The allies have retrieved themfelvesfroni the dilemma into which they were thrown by the fine& of the enemy, who now in his turn is obliged to leek fafety in avoiding a battle till he can effeß a change of pofition. In the mean time, the united armies are dated to be purfuhig (Lich* tneafuret, as mull tither compel the French to a battle, or lead to their ex ;tuition from Vienna. The intelligence from the Archduke CHARM is alto much more favourable that' we Could yell hope for, though we had reafon to expea everything from him that could be effetled by perfeverance; coolnefs. arid prudence. He hits effeaed his retreat'at the head of 90,000 men, has formed a juntlion • With the Archduke JOHN, and both are now advancing by forc:d marches fur Germany. 'I he accounts dire& from Italy do not come down )xter than the 6th ult. !tom Venice. The Ruffians, who Were expeled from Corfu and Minutia.

HAMIUgG Dse. 6.—The affertions in the Paris papers, relative to the wUh of the Austrians to Cc parate theanfelves from the Ruffian army, as well as the propoied convention of the latter to capitulate, appear to be nothing more than Rratagems of war —the Totlbwin g are the particulars : The'tuoment the Auftrian 'army had evacuated Vicina at the approach pf the French, preparations were made to burn the bridge, and Combußibles were laid to it accordingly, when fuddenly a French General Officer gallopped through' Vienna with a flag of truce, and waited, in Prince MURAT'S name, on Field Martha' Count AUSILSIBURG, who was jutl giving orders to burp the bridge, informing him that an artniaice between the Aufirian and French armies had been actually eoncladed, for which rea.

The Auftrian Ge neral defined—but loon after the French arrived in fuperior (pm, palled the bridge, but did nor attack the Auftrians on the oppofite bank, to make them the more eerily believe the pretended armiffice, and that they might attack them the more fuccefsfully after defeating the Ruffians. The Auftriao General being informed of this mean ftratagem, fent two of. beers of his Staff to Prince Mutter's head quarters, to inform him that the Aultrian army having had forte feriotts difputes with the Ruffians, wifhed to fosfake their alliance, provided that BON/APARTe would allow them to make their retreat home un moldled. This was granted ; and the Aufirians, by a circuitous route, joined the Ruffians again, and their Commander fent Murray a letter, informing him that this ltratagem had been ufed by way of re. prifal for what the French had done with regard to the bridge of the Danube.

Mottav la, DEC. 2.—We have a report of an ac tion between a part of the Aultro-Ruffian army and the French, in which the latter made the attack. We do not yet know the particulars.

The genius of the great Frederick appears to animate the whole army, and the enthufiefm of all claffcs throughout the huf fier' Monarchy is extreme. The young volunteers prefent themfelves in crowds to offer their fervices to their country, and the Anil man pt ironer: of war who dcfert by hundreds, come to enlift among our troops.

Sir AiimnaPaoey flates, that tho Ugh they fought with the utinOft fteadinefs and gallantry, they were in the end totally defeated, and would have been cut off entirely if the French had had cavalry in that . quarter. He'however adds, that the right wing of the Al. lies,' commanded by Prince PANCRATION and Prince Java de Lichtenßein had Been more fuccefsful agai4 the :eft wing of the Frevh.
