AT a QUA RTERLY GENERAL, COURT, held at The Central Hoof; No. 14, Salitbury-fquare, on Wedoerday, Dec. 4, tbs. BhNJAM IN TRAVERS. Efq. V. P. in the Chair, A Report of the Board of DireCtors and Medical Council was prefented, by which it appears that One Thoufand Five Hundred and Eighty Perfi,ns have been vaccinated at the Central Houfe, and other Stations of the Society, within the lait three mouths, and that the total number inoculated fince siloS, was Eighteen Thoufand Seven Hundred and Slz. hive Thoufand One Hundred and Twenty-three Charges of Vaccine Matter had alto been tranf tithed from the Central HouTe aloze, to various part, of the Bri tilh Empire and foreign places. Hence it might be inferred, that the &reeved dtbnatioo which the dikovery of Dr. leaner had at-; tained in the public mind, has not been impaired, netwitliftanding the 'many unfavourable reports fo Induftrioully circulated to its prejudice. There reports having been Inv , ftigated with great dill gente and attention by a large Committee of Inquiry, appointed by the Medical Council, had been found (with a very few exceptions) t 6 be the grofs mikeprefentations of a few opponents of the Vac cine Pradtice, with the intention of miffeading the public opinion, and exciting diftruft in this ineitimable difeovery. The examina tion of this fubjett has tended to confirm the high opinion of its efficacy, by afeertaining that, confidcring the immenre numbers who have been vaccinated, the occurrences of failure are very rare indeed, and that Inoculation for the Small Pox is equally liable to fimilar exceptions. The Report alto Rates the affiiding circumstance of Nine Hun dred and Fifty Perkins having been deftroyed in London, by the Small Pox, within the !aft three months—a calamity which they attribute to the renewed and greatly inereared praelice of inocu lati g this dreadful &reale. And it cowhides with expreffing the hope that fume efficient inearures would be fpeedily adopted to wards checking toe projers of fo fatal a pcitilence.

PRUSSII. Bill LW, Dec. 6.—Yefterday, when the WI pan of our Garrifon marched out, was the day on which, forty eight years before, FREDERIC the Great gained the battle of Leuthen. His Majefty's two brothers, the Princes HENRY aed Wit.t.rem, are gone to the army. Thoufands of fpeltators beheld the departure of oar brave troops, and accompanied :hem with prayers and acclamations. The King, and alto the whole Royal Family were prefent. As the regiment of Field-Marlbal MOLLPNDOR F paffed, the veteran, now in his 82d year, who will follow in a few days, converted with the King. 44 I could have wilhed," faid his Majefty, " to leave you here, to enjoy the re pole which your aEtive life deferves, but hoe willed otherwife."—" By permitting me to go with the ar my," replied the venerable warrior, " your Majefly has done me the highest favo;ir. My age does not binder me-from ferving my King. At the head of the army I !ball feel myfelf young again, and th“uld I happen then to mcet my end, it will he more ho nourable than on a lick bed."

Some papers and letters were received from Holland yellerday, *hich conti nue to fpeak of fifeeeffes gained in Moravia, but on the face of them they appear to relate only to the ac tion of the ad inliant. They alfo (late, that on the s ith init. 7000 French troops matched into Delft zell, the fortifications of which they immediately be gan to repair ; and that orders had been ;trued for putting all the fortreffes in Holland, particularly thofe on the fide of Praia, in the belt poffible !late of defence. With refpeet to the movements of the PrufGan army, very little mention is made in the Dutch Papers ; that it has advanced beyond the line of neutrality is, however, molt certain ; and to its prompt co-operation do we now look for the cum plete deftrullion of the fcourge and curie of human nature, and the permanent tranquillity and fecurity of Europe. Another circumftance may alto be ftated which teems to prove that his Pruffian Majelly is refolved to take an aaive part in the prefeat conteft. His fill and favourite phyfician, Dr. BROWN, had, tome nrmtbs back, folicited to obtain leave to retire. So forward were his preparations to mum to his nativr country, that mole of his family had already arrived in Lngland ; but upon receiving a letter, written in the King's own band, expreffing a with that a confiden• tial and faithful fervant, upon whom, in every refpea, he had fo m►►ch reafon to rely, would not withdraw his fervices on fo critical an occafion, but again accom • pany his Sovereign to the field, Dr. Baosys immedi ately (attended the preparations for his departure, and with the utmoft alacrity got every thing in readi nets to attend upon his Majelly, and fet out in his fuite. A private letter from Berlin, of the toth, (late., that BONAPARTk was fo certain of the viEtory on the 3d ink. that he had drawn up beforehand a Capitu lation for the Allied Forces, and Preliminaries for a Continental Pacification, which, if affented to, would have made him complete Matter of the Continent of Europe. By the fame letter we learn, that the French Mini fler, LAFORET, had abfented himfelf from Court et ef (ince the departure of Duaoc. He had, however, demanded and obtained a fubfequent conference with Baron Haanza BARG, and in the firlt week of the pre fent month, he expedited no lets than fix couriers to Vienna. To indulge in vain fpeculations when we ate with out any farther intelligence from the fcene of action, would be a wafte of time. The anxiety of all claffes to receive official details of the affairs of the 2d, 3d, 4th, and sth, is very great, and not without reafim, when it is recollected that the accounts which have been received are fo contradidory. We have no real official details from the Allied Army. The accounts from the French are official. Are they wholly falfe, except in fo far as they :elate to an advantage gained on the 2d ? In other words—Has there been no in terview between the Emperors Of Ault ria and France, and no armittice concluded ?—lf the latter fads !hall prove coned, then the letter from the French Mini ffer at Berlin to the Miniller at Hamburgh, mull have been intended to embrace fads fubfequent to the battle of the 2d, though Etonar* Proclamation•evi cently does not, for it is dated the 3d. It would be a lamentable fad if it fhould turn out, that the Emperor of Cermany, panic-!!ruck by the iffue of the &ft day's battle, had entered into difigiace ful terms with the invader, before the relish of the rub ftquent days battles was known. But poffibly Ls Fo• ' aur gave the intelligence alluded to, not from official communications received by him, but from forte authenticated rumour believed to be fo highly pro liable from the refult of the &HI day's battle, that no doubt was entertained of its truth—or, an mruth I may hive been circulated for the pgrputc 9f imputing en the Cou►t of Berlin, and occafloning, a few day. indecilion, and a confequent fufpenfion of the march of the Bruin:in foldiers ; a point of fa mach impnr. tance to the French, that, judging from recent pro. feedings, they would not hefi:ate touch about the means by which it was attained. The Royal Estnily are not expelled in town agair, till within a few days of the Queen's birth day. We underhand, the Dukrot CA ! , 1 BRIDGes depar ture for the Continent is put off again. Thurfday morning the Duke of You tranfaaed bufinefs with his MAJESTY At Windfor. Two hundred recruits, Voluttieers from the lriat 'Militia, marched through Deal, on Tuefday, to jni:i thc b7th, now under orders for foreign tervice at Ramfgate. Tuefday feinnight the Royal North Q4ieensferry Volunteer Artilkry, commanded by Captain Mu iceo Ross, were reviewed by General Sir WILLIAM I. 1 6 and infpetled by Colonel DOUGLAS , Infpec ting Field Officer of the Diftrie, in pretence of Col. Stems, commanding the Royal Artillery in North. Britain, Sir CHARLES HAL ic ET, Bart. and a number of nther refpeaable Gentlemen, when the General and Colonel SMITH were pleafed to eaprefs, in very hand. fume terms, their entire approbation of the ileadinefs, difcipline, and foldier like appearance of that fine corps. The Duchefs of Battaswica was ertremely ill at the date of our IA advice: from the Continent. The fellow who waylaid Lord linattowsr has Tem properly been honied.

Acirma- SIAM, the Author of The Ireatherewi, was yellerday read in the Green-room of Covent Garden Theatre. The Eaa India Company's fate cf aS,OOO bags of fugar has gone at good prices for the Company. It is furpriling that the Court of Direaors do not de vote mere of their attention to an increafe of its importatiop, when the avidity of the Public to pur.. chafe it is fo evident. It is of the highea confequence to the increafe of the Company's ten itorial revenues in India, to the Improvement of the condition of the Natives,and is molt ardently defied by the cco. -turners of ugar in this country. It is remarkable, that in the war between the Prnf flans and Rufii4ns, the latter, at the battle of Kunerf dorff, were defeated on the firft clAy by the Great Fa EDERIC is, and loft all their artillery; they returned to the charge the next day, retook all their artillery, nearly dellroyed the Prutlian army, and forced the King himfelf to fly with a frnall detachment. The Earl of Haatintrom and Lord HAILIOWZY were both at Hamburgh on the 13th ; the former on his way to, the latter on his return from Berlin. Sir AiTHUR PACIT'S plate was fortunately among the (mall portion of valuable property, removed from Vienna, before the entrance of the French. One veffel was fpecially allotted by the Imperial Minifters for the conveyance of his effefts, upon the Danube. A Letter from Holland ftates, that. on the tt th inflant 7000 French troops marched into Delftzell, and immediately began to repair the fortifications of that place; and that orders have been ailed for put ting all the fortreffes in Holland, particularly on the fide of Pruflia. in the bell (late of defence. Martha' Nay impofed a fine of 300,000 florins upon the diltrid of Botzen, becaufe Tome hundreds of pea fants in that neighbourhood had taken the pan of the Auftrians in a battle againft the French. In feveral German papers, the following charader of the Ruffian Soldier has appeared :—" When the Ruffian Soldier makes an attack, his mind is made up to the neceffity of conquering or dying. A mafterly manoeuvre, or a well ordered retreat, are net at all to his talte ; his objea is onfet—to clofe with the enemy, to get always forwards, and never to retreat—e &rinks from no danger, through it threatens him with inftaat annihilation. But what diftingniffies the Rut= fian ahove all other Soldiers, is his inezhaultibls Rrength. He is, undoubtedly, the hardieft of all fol diers—petty ficirmiffies, though long continued and haraffing, never wear him out : he cooks his dinner when he can ; he has no appointed time for either eating or fleeping : if he can catch an opportunity he fleeps when and where he may—he needs !els than any other foldier, and is fupported at lets ezpence.— Formerly, the Ruffian Soldier was not accuftomed to give or take quarter ; the war in Turkey had ac cuftomed him to it—in Italy they alteied this difpo fition. From the Ruffian foldiers being once accuf tomed to fight in defart countries, they ufed to have abundance of waggons; thefe, however, were light and portable, and when accidents happened to them, they were eaGly repaired by the number of artifaas who were in the army." It is well known within a (mall diftrid in the City that fiz Office Clerks, by getting Shares of Capital Prizes ip the lad Lottery, have launched into bufi nef, for themfelves, and which by prudence and in duilry may in a few years raife them to mercantile eminence. What an encouragement to Office Clerks in general to become Candidates for Fortune's Fa vours in the very intereffing Scheme, which :um in vites their embrace ! Tuefday night laft an extraordinary high tide took ',Lice at Shields, and the fea being very high occa. %toned the waves to break with great fury againft the ftone quay at the foot of Tynemouth Barracks, built by order of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of YORK. Several of the wooden-heads, or break-waters, finifh• ed in the 030 a fubftantial manner, were torn from their places, in the front of the wall, and dallied to piece.. The fea has continued high ever fence, which has prevented their being replaced. This tide wallied down the (entry box, near Clifford's Fort, although placed where the wear feldom approaches.
