1 11. r lA' WILTN.IIdte.. O. The Growl Duke Conflantine, accompanied by the Prince Inienbourg and Colonel Alenwieff, has been received here with great diffinetion. Prince Dolgorucki, chief aiele-de.camp to the Emperor, who arrived here 34 hours before his Imperial Highnefs, has made, in she name of his Sovereign, important declarations and repreleotations. It is Rated that the Ruffian divifions, under the orders of Generals Elko and Benningfen, will remain in Silefia until further orders. We exiled foun the return of Count de Haugwitz. His Imperial Highnefs the Grand Duke Confian• 1 • tine made a 'Mt in perfon the day bcfote yeilerday noon to his Excellency M. de Hardenbeeg, but the Miniaer was then with the King. His S:rene High. nets the Prince of Heffe alto made a visit to that Mi nifier yellerday. Die. 24..—Major General Von Muhl, has been fent with very important difpatches to the Emperor of the French. There is no doubt that the objeEt of his miffion is the reunifies, of pare rpm afros Lty's. Severalfwer have been given at Court in honour of . . the Grand Duke Conftantine. This day they cele brate at Court the bit th.day of the Emperor of Raffia. Prince Dolgorucki, chief Aid de Camp to the Em- Iperor Alexander, has frequent conferences with our 1 Minißers. BERLIN, DEC. s4.—PRIVATE LETTER. . As we have received no intelligence from Count Haugwitz fince the loth December, General Pfuhl has been fent to the head quarters of the French, in • order to urge the Emperor Napoleon to a precife ex planation. On this will it depend whether we (hall bare war or peace. If the war between England and France continue., and Napoleon abandons any pro jeftioof innovation, endeavours will be made to pre ferve the neutrality of the North of Germany. It was believed that, in this cafe, the King was deter mined that the French (hould remain in poffeffion of liatneln; but I believe it is nothing but a report ; and they will be obliged to evacuate Hamelnos well .as the reft of Hanover. In the nsgociations retpec. sing the neutrality of the North of Germany, the departure of the French from Hanover will be in. lifted upon ; but, on the other hand, a guarantee will be given, that no foreign troops (hall be allow. ed to penetrate into the territory ofihe Batavian Re public on that fide. The hopes of peace do not teem altogether on. founded. - It is believed even that England herfeif is , inclined to negotiate for peace under the Pruffian mediation ; and fornething to that dice, in order to lead to a negotiation, has, it is Paid, been thrown out. In the negotiations for an armiftice, Napo leon, it is reported, began to (peak of Hanover ; and from this, it is concluded, that it will form one of the principal objets of difficulty. He teemed to en tertain the projeft of giving that Eleaorate to Prof . fia, as an indemnification for the Franconian Mar. graviates, which he means to give to Bavaria, in or der to diminifh the soles of the Houfe of Auliria. He farther propofed to exchange Gallicia for Si lefia. When thefe purpofed arrangements were men tioned to the Emperor of Raffia, he ab(olutely refut ed to liftcn to them, or give his content to them, and as little, is it thought, will they meet the concurrence of the King of Pruffias Napoleon more than once defired to have an tester - view with Alexander, hut the latter always rejeßed : the propofal with great hauteur. At lift Prince Dolgotticky was fent to the French head quarters. , Whit, Paid Napoleon, does the Emperor of Ruffia ..reqoire of me ? Does he mean to tell me that I muff • defcend from my throne ? Are the Batavians and Swifs not frte ?'Does he WA to have a part of Mol. ' . davist and 'Wallachia ? Nothing of all that, replied ... Prince Dolgorucky. The Emperor defires nothing • . but a general peace, the re•ellablifilmem of order, itod,for all, fecurity for their dominions. The Ern. .. • peror Alexander never will leek an enlargement of territory at the erpence of his fliends and allies. When Bonaparte and Francis 11. had their con • Terence, the latter wit. obliged to pats a loicige, on •• which the Mud was very deep. Napoleon was at. • tentive enough to caufe it to be covered with Rraw. Some of the attendants of sha Emperor Ttimcis re , marked, that Napoleon had not made him a bridge of ouzo for his retreat.—( Here follows an inveltive on the Empetor Francis, which we find is now ufual in the private letters from Berlin.) It is certain that the Grand Duke Conflantine has • offered to the King of Piuffia the corps of General Benningfen, Ellen and Buxhoerden # and this will he extremely important for the fafety of the North of Gerinany. " lam no politician (laid the Grand Duke), but I am a foldier, and will cheerfully fight under the command of your Majefty." The Aufirians throw the blame of the lots of the battle of Aufierlitz on the Ruffians. General Ku leffieim here likewife does the fame; but Prince Con 1 . /amine has promi'ed, that in the pretence of the Pruffian Minifler he will (hew him his error. But to whom null we afclibe the blame of the defeats which the AuflriAns received before the Ruffians ar tired ? It is impoffihle to jollity the Aufirians. k According to rep,,rts apparently deferring of cre -I,dit, Schimmelpenninck, on pretence of being tit.ent 1 ened with blinduefs, will refign his dignity ; and Louis Bonaparte will have his place. The French Minifter here ventures to aftett, that 1 by the IR of January the French Hill again be in .omplete poffelEon of Hanover. SIMLA% Dke. The Ruffian troops are retiring from hforavia, and will take up cantonments in Silefta. where the co lumns newly arrived from Ruina will alto remain until further orders. The lad of rhefe were com manded by General de Benningfen s they arrived at Breilart and in its environs on the 15th, 16th, and 17th inft. The fcarcity augments every day, and a famine begins to b: felt in Moravia. llsc. 2 i.—lt is afferted in nor Gazette, that the Armillice which has been concluded in Moravia, has been prolonged to the end of March. ZURICH, DEC. tr. On the 4th of December, the army of neutrality of the Confederacy was difbanded by &decree of the Landamman. P•i‘ORID, DECEMBER 6. Orders have been iffued for fitting out upwards of fifty fhips of the line. FROM frAix, DEC. to. Marlhal Marlene has impored a cnntributinn of fix millions of francs upon Tricrie, half to be paid in calls, and the reit in good bills of exchange. All Englifh property at Triefle is conlifcated. Letters from Naples ellimate the Rulli.sns and Montenegrins landed there at thirty thoufAnd, and the Englith at eight thoufind men. Malrena ha► detached a force to meet them. AMSTERDAM, DEC. u.

The Englith tranfport wrecked in the Teed, it the Ifabella, of Liverpool, Captain Laybert ; the had three hundred men on board. One hundred and alty.five were fared. HAGUE, DEC st. Admiral Verheul, our Minifler of the Marine, hav ing made an inquiry into the conduit of Admiral Kikkert. refpefling the Calle intelligence communi cated to the Englifh Admiral in the Tent. and de manded to know, whether he had communicated the fame officially, as it was fluted in the Englifh Pa pers ; Admiral Kikkert acknowledged he had dif patched Come pilot boats with fuch intelligence. jolt as he had heard it reported at Amflerdam, but de nied its being communicated, either as official, or by a flag of truce. The Miniller, however, has taken occafion, from this event, to forbid any communiea tion in future, merely relative to political rumours. The march of the French troops towards Overyffel continues without interrniffion. A very large park of artillery is attached to the Army of the North.— Price Louis has been abfent a Mort time from Ni meguen. HANOVER, DEC. 13. Yeflerday, at two in the afternoon, between g and boo men of the Garrifon of Hameln, with tome pieetss of cannon, marched towards Springen. The Englifh and Rains on the firft intelligence of this movement, marched to meet them, which gave oc cafionto a very obilina.e aEtion between Hockmuhlen and Altenhagen, which ended entirely in favour of the Ruffians and Englifh. The French had a number of men killed and wounded; two hundred were made prifoners, and two pieces of cannon taken.— They' were obliged, towards evening, to retreat, to avoid being entirely cut off from Hameln. The two pices of cannon and the prifoners were brought here to•day. BREMEN, DEC. A).-PRIVATE LETTER. We are at prefent quite in the dark about the fn tote movements of the Britifh and Ruffian Armies cantoned in Hanover and this neighbourhood. Lord CATHC•IT, immediately after General DON'S arrival ha Monday, fet out to Nieuberg, the head quarters of Geneva' TOLSTOY, and only returned this forenoon. It is faid his Loreghip has received the moll p fitive afforancts from the Rul:Gan Gene ral that the troops under his command are not in. `eluded in the Armitlice agreed on between the Ger man and French Armies; fo that one may naturally ' fappofe the Allied Troops here are capable of refill ing any attack which the French can make upon his Majefty's Eleftoral Domidions. The recruiting goes on with great fpirit, though you malt naturally foppore the training and organ. izing the men mull be a work of tome 'time at this feafon of the year; yet, conGdering the indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant General Dow, who corn. mands the Legion, every thing may be expected which human forelight can fuggefl. His condefcen. ding manner has done more good to our cattle than could have been expated from a vitory of very con• fiderable magnitude. As yet the Army remains eantoned as before, only that the Rifle Corps has marched to Oldenhurgh, on the road to /I , lland, and it was expected the B. igade of Guards would advance to Delmenhorfl. to take op the cantonments of the Rifle Regiment, which has not been done. The French are afTemblinr; in great forte in Grn ningen, and ray loon expelled this way ; but thank Goo the riads are In had at indent, owing to tht rainy fcafon, that it ie prefumed almofl imprafticable to bring their artillery along with them.

Captain Von Manecke, in the (dyke of the Duke of Mecklenburg, accompanied his Majelly the whole way from Dammgarten. His Majefly has expreffed his entire fatisfillion at the regulations adopted by the Duke of Mecklenburg, both with regard to bib journey. and the pattage of his troops.

This day was held a grand parade and levee. for the prekntation of magiftrates and perfons of diiiine don. LUNENBURG, DECEMBER as. Since the arrival of his Swedi(h Majeßy here, the Magiftrates fignified their intention to illuminate the city; which he declined, very gracinufly urging, that as the country had la:cly fuffered much from imperils, &c. the money intended for the illumination would be much better difpofed of, if given to the poor. The Swedifh troops daily pats the Elbe, and their good order every where enfures them confidence and a kind reception.

' HAAVIIII fruited yeßerday on the latt s•bfequies of our beloved Nelfon. The day was, throughout. one of the fiaeft that ever dawned at thit feafon of the year—bright and cheering. Long before fun rife (it being a clear, moonlight morning) the note of pre paration was heard in every direaion ; and the mul titude, who had meditated a farewell fight of their revered Leader's remains, were every where in motion—fo that by eight o'clock the ftreets through which the proceffion was to pars were crowded with I pedeftrians, As were alto the windows and roofs of , all the houfes from the Admiralty to St. Paul's, ' I while the outfkirts of the town were entirely deferted. By eight o'clock in the morning, a very nume rous detachment of the Royal Artillery at Wool wich. with their field pieces, matrores, Ice. marched along Weßminfler Bridge to S'. James's Park, where they took poll on the right of the troops there affem bled. The 92d, or Doke of Gordon's Highlanders, a corps which particularly fignalifed itfelf iii Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercromby. drew up in Weilmin• 1 Rer Road, facing Mount-row, and fuoo after follow• ed the Royal Artillery, in open column of compa nies, the right in front. In St. James's Park there were alfo two battalions of Foot Guards, f I fquadrons of Life Guards, the loth. or Prince of Wales's Light Dragoons, and likewife the olth. The Prince's Regiment was drawn up with their front ob lique towards Spring Garden gate. with their rear to the rails, while the 17th extended in line from , near Spring Garden gate, along the wall, all the 1 way behind Carleton Houfe. The carriages of the various Nobility and Gentry, who had intimated their intention of accompanying the remains of our Hero to St. Paul'., entered the Park before eight, o'clock, at the gate on the top of Conflitution Hill. They proceeded downwards with real regularity, and halted at the bottom of the Mal where the car riage road crab to the Horfe Guat s. ; A eircumtlance happened at the removal of the coffin from the Admiralty, which, it would appear, had been wholly unforefeen, and of courfe not anti cipated. When the car. on the top of which the te• mains of hfs Lordfhip were to have been placed, was brought to the gate of the Admiralty Court yard, it was difcovered that the paffage was not fuffi ciently wide to admit its introduaion, and it was for Come time thought that it would be neceffary to make fuck alterations upon it, as to enable it to enter. This idea, however, was givcn up. and the coffikwas car ried out to the (treat. and fafely depofited on the fplendid and. ingenious vehicle, de(tined to convey it to St. Paul's. At half atter ten the procernon began to move from the front of the Admiralty in a direet line to wards St. Paul's. All the areets were completely lined two deep on both fides of the way, store up to , the Cathedral. They wore fupp-fed, however, to form two diflindl lines, as the corps belonging toWell• mintier and to Middlefcs, within the Bills, drew up in different pofitions, according to orders from the War Office ; on the (sulfide of Temple Bar, as it is mimed, the St. James's being on the right, and the Royal Vs'etiminlter en the left. Their centre was at Temple Bar. and was compoled of the Cullom hotife, Whitechapel, Pod lon .e other corps, whole pat titular difiria did not fall immediately within the line by which the prom (lion was to be conduaed. The Cir y line lied the Eall London Militia for its right, the Wei London for it, left, the other corps following as dole as they could pollibly Rand, the Lail India Re gimentsb,.ing the 6rit ot volunteers up to St. Paul's. —The bufusels of time day was fo extremely well af• ranged, that every corps was able without difficulty to nation itiill at the vrit allotted to h, and left no VA cancy on its right rit. lttt.

Four fine regiments of infantry, the 21ft. gift. 79th and 92,:, L seeded :he general order of he Pro. cetfion. The Roth (or Prince of Wales'.), the Roth, and the 17th regiments of Lig'a Dragoons followed them. The lnlAr,try marched in the moll (Acorn and Ready mance-. On one of their lianc'ards was inlcribed the wr , rd EGYPT, to conimmorate the gallant exploits which the Regiment had atchieved on tloile &ores; another of the Colours bore hotioarable teltitnatny of the (Cr. vice it had been in, by the many (hot holes that were to be teen through it. The Prince's Regiment and he Greys are known to be as fine regiments as any under the Crown ; and it was obferved that the military was as rand a fight as ivy part of the regular proceflirn. —l'he order of the civil !Rate has been already aloft accurately deferibed ; the elegant praclations of the arts upon the coffin have been alto mentioned; apd, as far as words can convey an idea of the mixture of lolemnity, talk and magnificence in the Funeral Car, it has been attempted to be defcribed. There it, therefore, no room to fay any thing further on thefe points. But it mug be obferved that, as far as was in the power of the tradefmen, every thing that was poffible was done towards heightening the fplendid and dignified appearance of the fpeßacle ; it the fame time, however, it mutt be conteffed, oh the other hand, that, notwithltanding the grandeur of the appearance of the fpeßaelcon the whole, it would ha% e looked confidetably more fplendid, and have been much more gratifying to the feellrgs of the people, had the greater part of the hate n, t been buried at it was in coaches. Notwithlianding the cavalcade was fo long that it was upwards of four tvinrs from the time of its Slat motion until the lag coach (topped at the gate of St. Paul's, and though these was fuch an immenfe number of people in the Rivets, we did nut hear of any fed. us accident having oc.. culled amongft the crowd. The people appeared to take fo great a (bare in the folemnity that was before the view. that a greater degree of decorum was ob. revved than was omit before noticed in a multitude confifting of fa great a number of people. The idea of having four Lieutenants of the Royal ", Navy mourning, one at each corner of the coffin, ap pears to have been abandoned ; the tailors belonging to the Vitiory did not appear to move the car for. wards as was at fief intended alto. Perhaps is was thought that this was rather an overftretch of fancy. which was too light for the fnlcmnity of the occafion. The coffin was quite uncovered, and the great eleva. tion of the pillars of the car was fo favourable to the melon' of public fpedtacle,that the public weremoft unanimous in expreffing their high approbation of the taße and fplendour cf both. In the whole line of the proceffion, both in Well- ' mintter and in the City, the moft marked and grate ful refpeß was (hewn to his Royal Highnefs the Prince of Wales. All ranks of people teemed to be alive to the intereß which he and his friends took in this national folemnity. Some of the Royal Dukes' carriages were filled with Equerries or Officers belonging to the Houle. • hold, others were empty ; the Prince of Wales had two carriages in his place in the proceflion ; the fir& carried Mr. Sheridan and Come other Gentlemen be longing to the ellabliflament cf the Prince ; in the halt the Prince himfelf was feared on the right with the Duke of Clarence on his left, the Earl of Moira and another of the Prince's friends in the front.
