(IRON ♦.G[RNAH PAPER.) The following account of the engagement which decided the fate of Auftria, is communicated by an intelligent eye-witnefs of the bloody confliEt. It is the only one that has yet appeared,. which can be confidered as impartial and worthy of credit : " The French army, commanded by his Majefty the Emperor Napoleon, was compofed of t zo,ooo men, and was very advantageoufly polled, behind the lakes and villages of Mennitz, Telnitz, Sackol nitz, and Kobelnitz. The Auflro•Rufan army,about 60,000 flrong, marched on the sR of December, in five columns, from the pofition near Hodjegitz, and the fame evening tnok a pofition oppofite to the French army, in fuch a manner, that the firft divifion, under the General in Chief, Count Bushovden, was polled only goo fathoms from the French front ; the fecond divifion, under the General in Chief, Kutufow, was about the fame dillance in the rear, and behind that was the referve, under the Grand Doke Con- Rantine. The cavalry, under Prince Lichtenftein, was likewife in the fecond divifton._ _ _ " The fame night the above mentioned Generals received orders, in ccnfequence of the difpofition made on 'the part of the Aufirians, to attack the French army at feven in the morning, in five columns.' The two Generals in Chief wi(hed to make fome ql. teution, and were defirous of having cavalry attach- 1 ed to the columns • but they received for anfwer, I that loch was the Led arrangement for the difpoli lion and the attack. Accordingly, nut of the fire ' divition were formed the 'flirt and fecond column, which compofed the left wing; out of the fecond divition, the third and fourth column ; and the re ferve formed the fifth column, on the right wing. On the latter was, befides, flationed, the column of cavil ry. This column was commanded by Prince Lichten nein ; the gth by the Grand Duke ; the 3d and 4th by Gneral Kutufow, who placed himfelf at the head of the4th ; and the to and ad by Count Buahovden, who led on the fire column. g. This column had already advanced by feven o'clock, in two divifions, to the village of Telnitz, where it attacked the right wing of the French. The latter received it with a heavy fire of mufketry, which the Ruffians forbore to return, till they had arrived at the next dißance. The conflia was obitinate, and the firing tremendous. The Ruffians approached amid an incefrant fire, and numbers fell on both fides. At length the Ruffians rufhed, with bayonets fixed, on the French front, which received them with firs. nefs, and the carnage that fucceeded was truly dread. ful. The French were driven back, but Coon received a ftrong reinforcement, and, in their turn, gabled ground on the Ruffians ; on which the latter made a fecund defperate attack, and turned the French. The carnage was redoubled, and the field of battle was inundated with human blood. The French were compelled not only to abandon the village, but like. wife all the eminences and defiles beyond Telnitz, and were purfued by the vidorious column. " Meanwhile the fecond column, under Lieute. nant.General Langeron, had likewife driven back the French, near Sokolnitz ; and the firft column pre pared, as they advanced, to turn this French force, with a view to relieve the fecond column. By eight o'clock, the 3d, 4th, and sth columns had likewife advanced out of the line; but they were infiantly attacked by a far fuperior force. “ The French forced the centre ; and as the Auftro. Ruffian columns were at a great ditlance from each other, and unprovided with cavalry, the three French divifions fucceeded in penetrating between them, and turning them. The fire was every where brifk, and the Ruffian guards advanced, with fixed bayonets, and without firing fcarcely a tingle (hot, againft not only the French infantry, but likewife their cavalry. They cut down, without mercy, all that oppofed them ; but, at length, they were obliged to yield to fuperior numbers ; and, about twelve, the army re• treated towards Aufterlitz. " The column of cavalry did fcarcely any thing ; and the van, under Prince Bagrathion, never came into aftion at all. N On the retreat of the Allied Army, three along divilions of the French were immediately fent to the fupport of the right wing. Thefe confequently at tacked the left wing of the Ruffians, in the rear; their fecund column was partly routed, and partly formed a junBion with the firft column, which the French had already purfued towards Chlapanitz, the head-quarters of the French. The fituation of this c, lumn, which had fought with fueh valour and dittineion, now became ex tremely critical. It was deferted by the reit of the army, without h ipe of fuecoar, furrounded by a powerful French army, of which three divilions, with a &nog body of cavalry, were aheady in its rear, and menaced this ifolaied column with utter defirue• Lion—eircumflances, which produced a conviCtion, that a column, feat eely to,ooo (bong, exhaulted and weakened by a conflie of eight hours, had no other means of arching itfelf, but by a capitulation. Though the Inflation of there tre,,ps was In eminently perilous, they condoned 'lode. the condo& of their veteran Leader (General Boxhovden), to bid defiance to every danger. It excited the 'whoa adonifliment to behold, with what refolution they witharval the attacks of the French, and with what fortitude they met every emergency. " ft was nor till near tour o'clock that they evinced any difpofitions for a retreat. The French redonblcd their attacks on every quarter, and a tre mendous fire was maintained on both tides. The Ruffians were tinder the necelTity of pairing through the village of Urld, which was already occupied by French troops. Through theft they were obliged to open a way; the batile was renewed, and both par ties fought molt defperately with the bayonet. The French, however, were compelled to yield to the Ruffian intrepid;ty : the latter patted through the vil lage amidft an inceiTant fire, deployed beyond the canal, broke down the bridges ; and, fonn after four o'clock, the battle ceafed. The brave French, even with their fuperinrity, were tired of purfbing a corps, I which obliged them to purchafe every Rep they made with to much blood. 4 4 Both fides complained of the ealmnefs of the wind ; in confequence of which the clouds of fmoke that filled the atmolphere were fo thick, that the men were unable to fee each other at the dittance of so paces. 44 During the engagement, the Emperor of Ruffia was in the centre, and expofed himlelf to the greateß dangers, amidft a heavy fire. The French (harp. flowers perceived the Emperor, and continually direfted their fire towards him. Being warned of his danger, his anfwer was: the Emperor of Ruffia is not afraid of death.' 44 The Generals in Chief, Kutufow and Bustrov den, were fli2,htly wounded; Major Generals Berg, Baron Melia, Effen the Heft, Effsn the Second, Baron Saeken, Miller, Barons Wimpfen and Prehif. chewlky. were dangernufly wounded, and taken pri loners. Many Staff and fuperior Officers and privates were killed, taken, and wounded. It is confidently Rated, that the French loft snore than ten thoufand men." PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. is. A little after four o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR came ' down, and &only after the Speaker and fevers! Members of the Houle of Common' appeared at the Bar. when the Royal Affent MAR given by Commlflion to the Land and Malt Duty Bib ; and to a Naturalization Bill.

IRISH AFFAIRS. Mr. JOHNSON, from the Office of the Chief Se cretary for Ireland, prefented (event! Papers refpec ting the Public Accounts, and alto certain Returns from the Magi&ate: in the different counties of Ire land. _ _ air JOHN NEWPORT moved, that the latter returns be printed. They were, he obferved, cer tainly voluminous, and, fiam their 'nature, neceffa rily mutt be co ; but the fubjed was otte of vital fin portance to the well being of fociety in Ireland, and entitled to the fullell Confideration of Parliament.— Motion agreed to. Mr. JAMES FITZGERALD, porfirant to no tice on a former day, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Partition of Lands, to Which rights of Commonage were attached. He Paid, that the Till he propofed to bring in would be a tranf cript of a Bill which pallid that Houfe lait fawn, with the difference only of a claufe to meet the' ob jeftions which exilted in Ireland.—Leave given. Mr. FITZGERALD alfo called the attention of the Houfe to an Aft which paffed in the lag Sefton of Parliament, for regulating the proceedings of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, whereby certain Officers attached to that Court would be deprived of fees and emoluments, for which they were to . be compenfated at the public expence, under a claufe in the Aft, which direfted, that the Chief Ju(lice of the King's Bench and Common Pleas, with the Mailer of the Rolls, thould enquire and afcertain what thole fees were, in order to loch compenfation. As It was important, therefore, that the Houfe lhould know the extent of the fees, which it had pledged it , Pelf to guarantee, he moved, that the certificates of the laid Judges fhould be laid before the Houfe, af certaining the amount of loch fees and emoluments. —Ordered. The fame Honourable Member obferved, that it was a matter highly neceffilry for the Houfe to afcer. tain the extent of official patronage in Ireland. He Mould at a future day, if no perfon more competent to the talk thould affume it. bring forward a motion for a general enquiry nn that fubjett. LORD MILVILLI. Mr. WHITBREAD moved the third reading of the Bill for indemnifying from civil procefs the per tons to give evidence to Lord Melvilte's Impeach ment Committee. . . Lord HENRY PETTY, Chancellor of the Ex chequer, feconded the motion. The Bill was read a third time, paged, and ordered to the Lords by Mr. Whitbread. A Mefrenger from the Lords required the atten dance of the Houle to hear his Majelty's Commit'. I lion read, for declaring the Royal Affent to certain Bills. Mr. SPEAKER attended forthwith, and being returned, reported, that the Royal Affent had been declared to the Malt Duty and Penfion Duty Bills, and one private Bill. Mr. PAULL rofe to move for tome further pa. pers relative to the Affairs cf the Eall India Com pany ; but at the requelt of Mr. Vanfittart, agreed to pntlpone his motion until a Right Honourable Gentleman thould be in his place, in a few days, whole peculiar province it would be to give the lint:ft information on that Department.

The Militia were nn duty, every place putting in a Pate of defence, and all on the alert. The intelligence was firft received by General Bit ERITON, who commands at St. Lucia, and by him it was fent round to all the other Wands. It was dated November 26, and the fum of it was, that a irencla force of three line of battle (hips, and nine frigates, with sOOO troops on board, were daily expefteck-- This force bad been collefted at Rochelle, Rochefort, and L'Orient, the whole under the command of Gs fiend itaGNIEII. Every regiment in the Welt Indies has 101 l fo many men, and are now lofing, that there are the molt prang calls for fupplies in that quarter. The zd battalions of every regiment, of which the in is in the Well Indies, have received orders to fend out every man and officer who is for general fervicet 200 men of the zd battalion t sth regiment, aiw now on their march to Portfmouth, for immediate embarin-, tion. The at battalion, t sth regiment, are now very healthy at Barbadoes, baying 101 l no men nor elms for the laR two months. The Artillery have all along been healthy in that 'Rand. They Rill continue very tiekly at Grenada. Ott 'St. Vincent's the gosh regiment are dying in great numbers, not lets than three or four daily. At Al. tigua they are not better ; the 96th regiment has toit fix Captains in the very fhort time they bare been there. They are in eager expeßation of a new Corn 7 mander in Chief and a Staff io the Weft Indies, at the prefect hineture. Two Hamburgh Nails are now due. They are looked for with fume anxiety, to throw lime light ( . 11 the reports circulated refpaling an arrangement between France and Pruffia for the exclufion of Bri. tilh Comtperce from thole parts of Europe over which their influence extends. A report of a direaly oppofite nature was circulated yefierday ; namel y, that the Court of Berlin his declared itfclf the p ro. tenor of the h-cedcro of Co nmerce in all the northern ports of Germany. We bare not the means of de tiding which:of thefe reports is entitled to matt ere. • dit, at the prefect moment; but we confider the firft mentioned arrangement as it no very great diftance, if not already decided on. The tranfports from the Wefer, which paffed Scar borough a few days ago, under convoy of the Bo a ITTA (loop of war, have fine. arrived at Yarmouth. The troops they brought are to be landed there. The Lift divifion, which arrived at the latter placi fome days before under convoy of the FURY hoop of war, failed thence for the pawns yefterda/ evening. In the preceding column we have given, from a German Journal, an account of the battle of Runes.- fits, which will be-found to differ in many point{ from the accounts received tlkoagh the medium of the French Journals. The refuit, unhappily for Ets. rope, cannot be affated by differences in the nano tiies of that important battle—,but'the develop.- mem of truth is always deful, as it ferves to furnilh beacons and landmarks for the government of future Statefmen and Generals. The Agincourt tranfport, arrived in the Shannon from Tortola, parted from the fleet on the TO January ; Captain SANDMILL reports, that many of the fhips were very leaky, partieu'•arly the Sally, of Liverpool. One had returned to Tortola, and the Chrifliana, Love, parted from the fleet the ath of December, after making fignals to the Commodore. The Lord Middleton, from Jamaica, was taken near Scilly by le C.urier de la Mancha privateer, of 16 guns and 88 men, and retaken by the Strenuous gun brig, from which fhe parted on the night of the 6th, off the ifland of A-ne, near Guernfey. The privateer had taken another Wel.lndiaman, and a fhip prize to the Diana frigate. Extraft of a letter, dated Dominica, Dec. 2 :-- s' Scarcely a day paffes, without an Foy, fh prize being Cent into fume of the Danifls or Swedills Wands. Fourteen privateers, ezclulive of thole already ui zing, from 14 to 18 guns each, are now fitting nut at Guadalt,upe, four of whirls have failed to the wind ward of Barbadocs, for the purpofe of intercepting the Cork fleet, one of which (the Gallant fchooner, from Briltol) they have alreagy fent into Guadaloupe, and a very valuable Guineaman has within thefe few days been fent into St. Mart ti's 4. The °Neel of the French in fending out the eight thottfand man daily expatcd, is to Itrengthen their own winds in the &It initance, and with the re mainder, to take poliallon •if the Swedifh and Da. nifh Hands. which will aff , ird tilt/71 the means of annoying our trade, and particularly the homeward. bound convoys.'. 1 ~~~
