He brought with him the copy of a printed bulletin' circulated there, of which the following is a tranila- 1 tion : TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH, FROM THE COONSILLOR OF !TAM MINISTIR OF TIIR MIRRINZ,I TO TIM PILICCT 07 BRUT. .4 Paris, to Frimaire (Dec. tr.) " Hls Mikity the Emperor of the French has beaten the Ruffians near Olmuta; deftroyed the half of their army, and to tally muted the remainder: . As this telegraphic communication can only refer to the battle on the zd, we mutt place it, in point of coedit, on the fame line with the cautious report of General BRUCE, and the annihilating Pinclama• tiara of Botr•PARTE, circulated by his Minifler at Hamburgh. The Bulletins from the Grand Anny have loft much of their credit on the Continent, and even begin to be furpeited at Paris. That little or no credit is due to any of the official reports of the French Government, the following fait will efiablifh: —Lieutenant GARRATY Rates, that he taw a printed Bulletin of nearly the fame form as the above, which was circulated in France foon after the glorious bat tle of Trafalgar ; in which it was Rated, that the Englifh were defeated, and had loft fourteen (hips t So 1 perinaded was Lieutenant GARRATY of the truth of this mortifying intelligence, that he did not know the contrary till he landed at Falmouth. Who could fup pofe that faits would he fo diftorted ? We thould have thought, that the enemy might have contented themfelves with veiling, or diminifhing their lanes in that memorable engagement, without pulling falfe hood fo far as to claim a viaory ; for Inch, in faa, would have been the de(lrnaion of fourteen fail of the line, in the relative fituation of the natives of both countries. We look ahzioully for the arrival of the mail now due, to decide the truth of the various reports. The moft recent are the following : Capt. Homo's, of the Triton, from Hamburghs who is attired at Hull, and who left Hamburgh on the 13th, lays, that not half an hour before he left Hamburgh, a Gentleman came into Lilburn's coffee houfe, who had travelled cm:refs from Olmutz, by way of Berlin. He appeared greatly fatigued, and his legs were much (welled with travelling. He faid that he left Olmutz on the 6th init. at which time the Ruffians and Auftrians were porfuing the French in all direitions, and had driven them acrofs the Danube, with great {laughter. Captain Honsott underftood that the Archduke CHARLES had joined the other armies, but this is probably a miftake.—The Gentle man affirmed pofitively that the King of PRUSSIA had joined the Allies: but declined entering into any further convel ration than the above. A letter from a merchant at Harnbnrgh to a mer cantile houfe in Hull, dated December 13, Pays, I have this moment received the Newfpaper, which I forward—it contains force further details of the bat tle, to which I alluded in my letter of yefterday (not )et received). If I may judge by my own feelings, I am fore it cannot fail of being welcome to you.— The frog has let in with great feverity, and it will be a great chance if any other ships but thofe that are going to-day or to morrow will be able to get away." On comparing dates, we are not inclined to be lieve that any thing new can be inferred from thefe accounts from Hull—Fur the newfpaper alluded to is the liamburgh Correfpondent of tlx 331 k, which we received by the laft Mail, and from which we gave every line relating to the late aitions.—The Triton left Hamburgh on the fame day, and our letter from oor.Correfpondent of the fame date, was not doted till eleven o'clock at night—probably eight or nine hours after the Triton failed. It was yefterday reported in the City, that let ters, dated on Thurfday laft, had been received from Rotterdam, which mention that the French had retreated to Vienna. We were not able fo trace this rumour to any authentic foul cea Early "eflerday morning the Duke of YORK ar• rived at Winch - m - . and traniaeled a variety of military bufinefs with his May ' , sr".

North, long. 7. Weft, by a frigate belonging to the fleet. The fame intelligence is confirmed by the True, Captain R. &strums, arrived at Portfmouth, with Come other wails from the Mediterranean.

Captain SIMPSON was informed by thofe who took him, that the fleet was from Breft, and on the fame day that he was taken, raw them fet fire to another Chip, which they had cap tured. On the rfith he fell in with his Majelly's flop Batt.- LUNT, and informed her Commander of the above fleet being at fea. The Ocean brig was fent from Plymouth about five weeks ago, with the Spann Officers, late of the Firme and San Raphael. We underftand fome of the Spanifh Officers did net fcruple to take with them by force feveral articles, without paying for them. They forced the Ocean to carry them into Lifbon. She was deftined for Cadiz. The French frigate robbed theOccan of her cartel sag, regifler, Mediterranean pars, and other Chip's papers. and took away the Mate and one man, be fides pillaging the veffer. They ratually took the cartel from the matt head. Captain PNAKE fags. the Officer told him it was James's divifion, bound to the Weft Indies, but it is generally believed to be the Rochefort and L'Orient Ibips. The defeat of the French in Moravia Gill reps upon the fame grounds it has done fence Thurfday lift. A variety of rumours have'been afloat; but no additional intelligence, either to corroborate or weaken the prin cipal affertion upon which any reliance can be placed, has been fine received. The authority upon which Government Med the lart Bulletin, is faid to have been derived from difpaiches received by Baron Ja cost from his Court, which Rate, a' that a Mellinger had arrived at Berlin, with a letter from the Emperor ALEXANDER LO his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY, dated on the evening of the 3d, mentioning the renewal of the action on that day, and that its refult, though not decifive, was highly favourable to the Allies." If any intelligence to this effect has been communicated, either officially, cr in any other way, to Government, from the refpedable perfon mentioned, then there can be no doubt of the fallehood of M. 800 RIENNE's Let ter and Proclamation. The circumflance of the re newal of the action on the 3d, proves, that the Allies were Rill great in heart and arength, whatever par tial defeat they might have futtained on the preceding day. Government, it is faid, have alto received further advice', which (late the arrival of another Courier at Berlin, on the loth, with a freed letter from the Emperor of Russia, in which he mentinns the continuance of lie battle to the evening of the 4th, when the Allies obtained a COMPLETE VICTORY." We regret, that Inch fatisfallory grounds for credit ing the account of the triumph of our Allies, were not Rated in the fecund Bulletin. They would have ot•viated all the chagrin and anxiety which the pub - Station of 800 multi e, even fufpicious as it was, was saiolated to produce. That the French obtained great advantages on the ad, and that in conf.

The coffin, covered with an 1 enfign, was placed on the deck. As foon as the Yacht was defcried, the colaursof the Mips and forts were hoilled half mall high ; and on her being abreafi, minute guns were fired from Tilbury Fort and Gravefend Battery. The bells were tolled, and afterwards rung a mused peal. The wind being fcanty and unfavourable, it is conje&ored that the Yacht could not reach Greenwich until the follow ing tide. .. LORD NELSON'S WILL—The tenementary papers of the lamented Lnrd Mums were yefterday prov ed in DoBors' Commons, by Earl Naesom and Mr. H A SLEWOnD, the executors.

Coveter GARDE w.—Loft night the Young Itoscrus made his fir ft appearance at this Theatre for the fee fon. It hems he -is to play at the two houfes in al ternate weeks. His part on this occafion was ilelosst in Barliorfa ; a charafter which he performed with great fpint, and was loudly applauded by a crowded audience. Mr. HARI:MAYA, however, who played the part of Borbargra, was not treated with fo much indulgence. He experienced repeated marks of dif approbation, which, at intervals, continued till the end of the fecond AB, when Mr. MURRAY ftepped forward and addreired the audience in the following terms : " Ladies and Gentlemen, I am dewed to inform you, that Mr. HA/GRAM finding his efforts fail I.f obtaining your approbation, has fuddenly withdrawn himfclf from the Theatre. Thus elr cumitanced, the Manager has nu alternative. but to intrcat your permilfien that Mr. OM r3eAti may be alma to read the re mainder of the part of Barbara's. Thib apology WAS received with applaufe, and Mr. CNAPMAN read the pat t, in which he acquitted him felt with much credit. This fudden elopement from the Rage during the perfot mance, reminds us of a fimilar incident at the Edinburgh Theatre, as related among the Anecdotes of the Players—Aft/monger of the name of Stirling, ambitious of difplaying his powers in the chars der of Hitflingr, obtained leave from the Manager to gratify his vanity. When he had advanced nearly through the firft half of the- part, amid(l catcalls. bilks, and roars of laughter, he retired, on the fop pofition that he would return to finifh what he had fo ludicroufly begun, when, to the difappointment of the laughter loving Critics, Mr. BLAND (a very refpeefable Gentleman, and we believe the uncle of Mrs. JORDAN) came fuddenly forward, and thus ad drefled the audience : LADIES ANA GENTLEMEN, ME.SrIEIINO, a very good Fffisssiger, has been fo mach mortified by your difapprobation of his performance of Ifeihaga, that ►e has not only made his skips (midday from the Theatre, but—l vow to God, Ladies and Contendere:2km away with him Mr. Ross's belt pair of Prettier I ! l is unexpeCted and extraordinary fpeeeh, among hundreds of Highlander:, produced the loudelt and moll inceffant laughter and applaVi ever heard in rip theatre. _ Ce URSING.—In the contfe of lag week died at the Wold Cottage, the celebrated Greyhound, beetubal.

It was underftood that Mr. &cams Lt.. the Solicitor of the Admiralty, meant to have addreffed the Court previoufly to the examination of the witneffes for the profccution i but the Court, it was prefumed, thought ft unneedfary. He then proceeded to calt the witneffes for the profecution, having previonfly verified the log books of feveral (hips belonging to the Britilh fleet. The witneffes examined were— Admiral AALIS STIRLING; HINRT CRADDOCEp Mailer of the Glory; Captain GIORGE MARTIN, of the Barfleur ; Captain DURHAM / and Captain Haney Iva. The evidence on the part of the profeention was materially fhortened by Admiral CALDER'S admit ting the allegation chiefly relied on by the Solicitor of the Admiralty.

At &it an order was made for all perfons who took minutes to deliver them up to the Captain of the P►lNca, and receive them again next day, but • the extreme inconvenience of this being fuggefied, they relied upon a folemn affurtusce that they &mild not be divulged to any one. The Court was uncommonly crowded during the whole of the morning. Lieutenant-Colonel H. M. GORDON, appointed Mi litary Secretary to the Commander of the Forces in Ireland, left town yefterday on his way to Dublin. FATAL Due r.—lt will be remembered, that; about twelve months ago, a quarrel took place between Major &oozes ani r Colonel Borrow, of Liverpool. The confequence was, that a meeting was agieed tiros ; but, either from accident or defign, the parties did not attend at the time and place appointed. Be. foie a fecond rendezvous was adjufted, the Gentle bsen were taken into cuftody, and bound over in heavy penalty to keep the peace. After this, the animofity between them increafed daily, and each Ireproached the other with having informed the Offi. leers of jullice of their intention to fight, and having I thereby occalioned the arrelt. The time for which, dick Gentlemen were bound to keep the peace elapfed on Friday Lift, and, before the day was doled, a challenge paired from the one to the other. and an immediate meeting was determined upon, to decide their inveterate quarrel. Mr. W. attended the Colonel to the ground, and Mr. H. the Major. It is with regret we add, that the firft fire proved fatal to the latter, who was killed on the fpot. Colonel B. was foon after taken into cuftody. The Peggy, from Cork Falmouth, is loft near Portfmnutb. The Bethke packet, —, from Spain for Lota don,tis 101 l near Valentia.
