Nov. io.—Before the Emperor Faeacis 11. departed for Moravia, he reprefented to his Ge nerals, the impoffibility of any reafonable attempt to defend the place ; and then bidding them adieu, bumf into tears. It appears certain, that the Hun garians have teflified very little zeal in offering him an afylum. When he was at the foot of the fair cafe, and ready to get into his carriage, he turned to wards the palace, and lifting his eyes to heaven, ex claimed," My God, my God !" The Emprefs teemed nearly ready to fwoon, in a violent fit of defpair ; in which the uttered many (everq refledlions upon the Englilh Miniary.

A number of thefe troops are defined for the Bata elan Republic. Prince Louts is daily ezpettted, a boufe being appointed for his reception. General COLIIIO will command under him. STUTOA RD ' Nov. a i.—WC have received accurate bnformation, rerpeeting the fate of the Aufrians under Generals Wocrsesitc and Jszcacnicir. It was at Plaudentz, where thefe troops, after fufain ing feveral combats with Marfhal AUG/RIAU, were forced to capitulate. The former then confifed of the infantry regiments of STEIN, BEAULIEU, and Jet czACHICII. The cavalry had been feparated, and croffed the Danube in two columns, to force a paffage through Franconia into Bohemia. 'this enterprize, however, fucceeded with one column only; the other was difperied near Kieflegg. The officers and pri. vales that furrendered at Plaudentz, are not to ferve againft the French during a year and a day. The column that creeper), excited much alarm for Tome days•in the neighbourhood of Dillingen, where they made feveral French Commiflioners prifoners.

Stc.' It is not known whether the 'Pruffian Cabinet has returned any anfwer to this letter. LUMINSUIGH, N•ir. 23.—Tke Ruffian troops con tinue their march through this ;slice towards Bremen, whither Pruffi tu troops were alto on their way,' and where we know that a conlidciable force has arrived from England. The Commandant of the latter, Ge neral Dom, in order to hive an interview with the Ruffian General Tot. s roe, has this morning proceed. ed through this town hy way or Zell, to the head quarters of the DukOf Bs unfwick.

They were received in the molt friendly manner by tie itiliabi• tants, but have loft their all. Levi's/4, Nov. 28.—Letters received at Antwerp, from Boulogne, dated November 23. mention, that on the toth an Englifis armanent, confilling of fifty two fail, arrived op the coaft, deßined, as k appeared at fiat, to attack the flotilla. Two frigates then ap proaching within gun (hot of the batteries, launched a fire (hip, which, exploding very near a gun boat, killed two men. On the 2oth, the Englifh fent four more fire (hips againft Boulogne, attached to each other by very Qrong chains: happily, they drove afhore, and could not be recovered, when an intrepid cannoneer kind upon the machines, and prevented the explofion intended. On the night following, an other fire fhip exploded, without doing any nlifchief. The Britifh fleet, confining of five flips of war, twelve frigates, and a number of (mailer venal/, remained in fight on the 234. The French, however, on their part, continued upon the alert. LONDON.

The VICTORY man of war, having received the re pairs necefrary to enable her to proceed to the River, failed yellerday from Portfmonth with the body of Lord MIAMI, with a fine breeze from the wellward. His Lordthip's remains may therefore be caps-fled to reach Greenwich to-morrow or next day. The \Term frigate, Captain Thaws, which wai appointed to convey Lord CarcHeaav to the Con tinent, arrived at Yarmouth on Monday, from the Boulogne Cation. His Lordfhip, with his Son, and fuite, arrived there the fame evening, and yefterday morning embarked on board the VISTAL under a (Otte. The frigate immediately got under weigh, and was out of fight by one o'clock.—Wind N. W. a gentle breeze. His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Coattail:43a will embark in a few days, at the fame port, on board the OartlEus frigate, which has been appointed to con vey his Royal Highnefs to the Continent. Yeflerday morning his Majefty's (hips Lamm), FURY, and Foamy 5. with about Izo tranfports un der convoy, having on board the troops comprifing the fecond divition of troops deflined for the North of Germany, failed from Deal for the Wefer. The troops on board theft veleta are, the 3d, Old Buffs ; the Bth, or King's own Regiment ; the 7th and 9th Fufileers ; the 26th, or Cameronians the 28th, 3oth, and 36th Regiments, and the firti battalion of the 89.11 Regiment. Great part of the troops on the Suffix coal! are in daily expeftation to receive crslers for embarkation. The fine brigade of the gallant General &INCE*, who fo nobly commanded a brigade of flank eons• panics in Egypt, taped to accompany him, viz. the 4oth, 87th, 88th, and zd battalion of the 95th or rifle corps. The ad battalions of the 4oth and 88th regiment, art like wife on the move. Betides the above, the following, as far as is yet arranged, may be depended on as a lift of the force to be immediately embarked for the Continent from Deal, Dover, and Ramfgate : The 9111, t ith, and (it is nearly fettled) the 17th Light Dragoons ; the 4th or King's Regiment, the 34th, 35th, 4oth, 46th, 87th, and 88th Regiments, and the ad battalion of the 95th, or Rifle Corps— making in all about 20 or aas battalions. The 9111 (a Regiment of Highlanders) marched yeflerday from Deal for Ramfgate, to embark. The Commander in Chief of the Britifh troops on the Continent, is Lieut. General Lord CATHCART, who will have the brevet rank of General in the May. The General Officers in addition to thofe who pro ceeded with General Dos, are to he Lieut. Generals FinTD, FRANCIS DUNDAS, and MOORS ; Major GC ! TIMIS MIKSJ42II FRAZIA, Sir ARTHUR WILLI sum, &IMMURE, HILL, and two or three Brigadier Ge nerals. The Adjutant, Q2arter Mailer, Paymatter and Commitfary General`, not yet appointed. Deputy Infpeftor, Dr. Parma, goes at the head cf a large Medical Staff. We µnderftand alfo that an embarkation of traps k (way to take place at Hull, a pin very convenient for troops in the northern part of the kingdom.— Amdng other regiments, we have heard the t R and :;d dragoons mentioned as likely to go from Hull. It is is agitation to fend federal regiments of heavy ' dragoons. The Royal Horfe Guards (Blue) under the gallant Collonel DORIEN, have requefled to be fent. In the mean time General Offiers and the:r brigades are embarking with all pollible difpatch. Three Tranfports, having each a Cntnpanv of Ar tillery on board, are arrived at Sheernefs from Wool wich, and more are daily capcaed. They are ihert!y to proceed to the Continent, under convoy of the REG V L us, of 44 guns, and Havoc& gun brig. We have received French papers to the la. awl Dutch to the sth intl. They add, however, but hale to what was made known by thofe from which wc yefierday gave fuch large extraas. ' The Pruthan Plenipotentiary, H*trowt• a, reach. ed Vienna on the zoth ult. In going there he mutt probably have pafied the French head quarters, Znaim being on the high road from Prague to Vi. enna. Why then did not the French Emperor enter on the bufinefs ?—Becaufe he could gain a little more . time by fending him to his Minifter Tax:Aswan at Vienna ; for, probably, the firft thing required .by Pruflia will be a fufpenfien of boftilities. We (hall not, however, indulge in conjeanret on a fubjett which a few days will clear up. One of the (mall Paris papers, the Journal de CIO. pierce, of the 3oth ult. contains a letter from Auca. "tau, dated Bregentz, the ath, in which he men tions having compelled fix thoufand Auftrians to lay down their arms, and allowing them to retire to Bo hemia, on condition of not ferving for a year. How comes it that this advantage was not *idly known at Paris ten or eleven days afterwards ? The Monier of the 29th, or any of thofe which precede it, con. twin not a fyllable refpeaing this impot taut circum- Rance. The difiance between Bregentz and Paris is fcareely half the diftance from Znaim, or Massages head quarters, .to the French capital; and the opera dons, to the fame date, of the Grand and Italian army were known there on the 23th. Little credit, there fore, appears to be due to the letter purporting to haver been written by Atro emu to Sr. Vial.. The ad vantage, indeed, fuppofing it to have taken place, is not of much confequence. If AVGBIIIAti were only at Bregentz on the 18th, there is little probability of his being able to force his way through the Tyroi time enough to be of ufe to MAMMA. As to the reported offer of the Ruffians to capita late, as Hated in the tall French Papers, we know that it is not credited by Government. Indeed, from a comparifon of the German and French accounts, which we yefterday laid before our Readers, there does not appear the kart likelihood of its being true, The retreat of the Ruffian force to fall back upon their reinforcements, was executed in fo brave and awlerly a manner, that the French probably thought it neceffary to fabricate details which would *Milt a plaufible excufe for their not having cut them off, and hence their pretended march during the reported Armiftice. The National Guard is called out in every depart ment of France, and much exertion is ufed to bring it into immediate difcipline, particularly in thofe parts contiguous to Holland and the Empire. An army is forming near St. Omer's, to be commanded by Prince Louts. It is this force upon which dependence Teems to be placed for defending Batavia againft the mats of Ruffians, Swedes, Engin, and Pruffians, which is, or lhordy will be, in motion againft it. Generals hum Dowries and M4casszia Pan. zeta, who are appointed to commands in the expedi tion, yefterday had an audience of the Duke of You, at his Office, previous to their departure for the con tinent. The Duke of You held a public day, and faw a number of Officers, and afterwards had a con fultation with the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and Lord CASTLERRAGH. On Thurfday arrived at Liverpool from Ireland, the 16th Regiment of Light Dragoons ; on Saturday they were reviewed on the North Shore, by the Duke of Gloncetter.—The firft diviGon left Liverpool oa Monday. On the authority of a Morning Paper we hated, that forr.e Diffenting Ci.ogregations had received or ders from high authority to make no collection fotithe Patriotic Fund on the late Thanksgiving Day. We are perfuaded, however, from the numerous liberal donations that have come harm Diffenters of every perfuafion, and from all quarters of the kingdom, that the ilatement was founded on fame --We hope it will turn out, that not a fingle con gregation ;Ambled on that day omitted this wcn k of mercy ; and we are Cure the Diffenters, who at e both numerous and refpeltable, will be found to have fignalifed themfelves on that occafion. On Monday night, at half pall ten o'clock, after a thort illnefs, died at his honk in Upper Hometton, Put. La Masuataa, Efq. Alderman of this City, Reprefentative in two Parliaments for the Borough of South mark, a Director of the Eaft India Com pany, Colonel of the Hon. Artillery Company, and invefled with other public fituations. He was the fecund furviving fon of Jonas Le Mestratu, Efq. Hereditary Governor of the Ifland of Alderney. He attended divine fervice at St. Paul's, on I'hurfday, with his regiment, the Artillery Corps, when he appeared in perk& health. On Saturday he was at Lloyd's Coffee houfe, when the waiters, perceiving that he was very weak, and looked very ill, propoled to call a coach for him. This he declined, and walked home. As Coon as he entered his hcufe, he went to bed, and continued very ill until five o'clock on Monday evening, when he expired.—He died in the Sad year of his age, eaving a widow and 4 children,
