... 7.1 E BRITISH PRESS. LONI)()N, MONDAY. DI cEmeta 2. i On Mon lay last, Admiral Russet., commanding of the Tezel, received a letter, by a flag of truce, hour the Dutch Admiral KIRSCH Ler. stating the co •lclusion of Peace between France and Austria.— ' Admiral Iti.sset. immediately dispatched the Then fris,ate, of 36 guns, Capt. Bt. Aso, to England, with sh • intlligence. She reached Yarmouth, on Fi iday afternoon, and Admiral Russet.'s disFatches having waved is town, on Saturday morning, were taken 'into cousisietatioa at a Cabinet Council, held at the Seco:rail'? of St ATE'S Office, for the purpose.— It is remarkable, however, that the letters from Yar mouth announce the arrival, at that port, of Admi t Rvesees squadron, from off the Texel, en Wed nesday. This was two days before the arrival of 0o nva.—The following is a copy of the letter : itrutus, Nriv. 23, 1613. 45 Rear-Admiral IClrkhert has the honour to inform the Cmnmandor of any °nu of Ha Et , ,tannic !Vbesty's ships which srena the tearer"! Hrotand that the important intelligence of prate having bren gig red betwren His West? the Emperor of t' e French, midthe Emperor of Germany, under the walls it V.entii, be, .assn ree..iveil by as entraordinary courier ; and that the e tdttiuna were so set.led, that, until the ratification of the treaty, Veoice, and the whole Tyrol, should continue in the hai.d, of the !moth. The Archduke Charles is dead wi th eh..erin and fatigue. A more detailed account every r °merit expected of the conditions of the treaty, among which, it i. said, there is an Artie*, stating, thst the Government of Awing is to pay to the Emperor of tire French, forty millions of banes. KIRIYHERT." This unrateful intelligence was immediately communicated to His Mai est . v, and appears to have transtired at the Stock Exchange, towards the close of the market, as the Consols for the opening, which were in the middle of the day at 61.1, fell nearly one per cent. An account, however, received under such circumstances. cannot be conclusive,and though strongly disposed to believe this news, we must withhold our implicit assent. The Bulletin trans mitted from Boulogne, announcing the capitula tion of Ulm, having proved true, is in favour of Admiral Kra tirsar's letter ; and yet that very cir cumstance ought to make us more on our guard, as rendering us snore liable to imposition. Four Hamburgh and four Gottenburgh Mails are now due; hut, by a vessel which left the Elbe on the 15th. we have received the Hamburgh Papers to the 20th. These contain an article from Vienna, of the 11th, being one day later than the news from that city received by the Paris Papers last week. It states, that " the Government persists in the resolution not to conclude a separate peace ; but, on the contrary, will exert itself with the utmost activity against the enemy, in concert with Russia and its other allies." Private letters, and all the Previous accounts communicated by public Papers, taught us to expeft, that the Emperor of GtRMAKT bad made up his mind for this result. He is said to have been fully prepared to abandon Vienna to the enemy, The archives, jewellery, plate, acc. had been sent off long before ; and, we are assured, that the whole of the Court establishment was re- Moved to Olmutz, in Moravia. Hal he looked forward to the capture of Vienna, as an event de cisive of the war, it is strange that greater exertions were not maile to prevent it. There is no trace of a general engagement to be found in the fo reign Papers. The Austro-Russian army sustained no greater loss than was to be expelled in a re treat, yet it crosssd the Danube, and proceeded to Krems, leaving Vienna exposed to the enemy.— Marshal Nay's division, 17,000 strong, did not cross the Eons, but marched south for the Tyrol, and entered Inspruck on the 6th, after an obstinate engagement with the Tyrolese militia, in the fa mous passage of Scharnitz. Another division under BIIINADOTTa had proceeded to Clagenfurt, the ca pital of Carinthia, to cut off the Archduke Ca ARL es's retreat from Italy. And MARM'OIT'S corps hav ing crossed the Enns, took the road to Leoheu. from whence he was to proceed to join BEIamADoTTI. These three divisions composed the whole, or nearly the whole, right wing of the French army. A di vision of the left wing. under General Wariest , man.euvr.id on the north of the Demise, to keep Prince Fee to All is in check. The force under the latter has been stated at 17,000 men ; and, we may presume, that MOATI6R'S corps was equal, if not superior, in number. It follows, that it was only the centre of the French army, with part of the left wing, under Mut cr, Davousi, and LASSES, that advanced by Moelk, against Vieni.a. If, then, the capture of that city were to induce such fatal consequences, it is the more surprising, that the Austro-Reissian fcrce should have given it up with. out risking a battle with the enemy, so mach re duced by the detachments sent to intercept thr Archduk. ettalttlf. It, tuerefore, Austria has concluded a peace, she was foicA to that es-remi.y, hot by t►e capture of Vailigla t an event tiliu.tcd, and not contested like An objet of vital ccnsequen:e, but probably by the death of that gallant Prit,ce, and the discomfiture of his army. The fifth Bul letin from the Army of Italy states, that the Arch duke CMAILiq, when he broke up from Vicenza, t.,ok the road to flassanct. MASSENA supposed that his intention was to retreat, riot to Carinthia and Carninla, but to Trent and the Tyrol; but as soon as he reached Wissdno, he tinned off towards Tre viso, putoted by Masszoa, who, having taken Padua and Vicenza, had extended his left wing to Maisano, pushing his advanced posts to Castel- frznco, whilst his right wing rested upon Padua On the sth, MASSIMO A% advanced posts were at Cas telfranco, and the ANCIIDUKE WAS probably at Tre. vise. NET was at Itinqpruck on the 6.h. MAR.. MONT had got beyond Leoben, to Brug, on the eth. The last accounts from BERSADOTTI represented him at Friesach, some dinance from Clagenfort, bnt the day on which be was there is not mention ed. Thus beset, there was scarcely a chance that the ARCHWIRE would be able to dire& his retreat. We are strongly inclined to think, that Govern ment do not implicitly bel.eve the contents of K ennzar's letter. An order was issued on Friday last, for a force of between 10,000 and 15,000 mess to embark immediately for foreign service. This force includes, among others, the Bth Regiment, recently arrived in the Downs, from Cork ; the 2d battalion of the 27th, Lord Moiß A's Regiment from Scotland, and the 11th, 13th, and a part of the 21st Dragoons. The 11th and 13th, we believe, have aCtitally embarked. This expedition is going out as a part of a much greater force to be sent to the Continent. If the fate of Austria has been decided by a separate peace with France, our Continental Expeditions can, we fear, now answer little purpose. We understand, however, that the orders issued on Friday, for the above Expedition of from 10, to 13,000 men, have not been countermanded. We noticed, on Saturday, a report which stated, that Boa A had been shot by a Russian sol dier, in Vienna. We gave it candidly, as we found it current in the first circles at the west fad of the town ; stating, at the same time, that we knew not how it originated, nor to what degree of credit it was intitled. It has been since stated in same of the Pa- pers,judging,no doubt.from their own privateforei:Ts correspondence, AS a story of how manufaCture Those who know so much more about it than we press . d to, will, we hype, favour the public wit!. its origin, and all the circumstances of lbs birth. The TtriAle, of 71 guns, Admiral STIRLING, from off Ferrol ; and the Cotonou, Tennant, and Temeraire men of war, from the fleet off Cadiz, ar rived, on Saturday, at Portsmouth. On Saturday. about three o'clock, the Resst sr AMBASSADOR had an audience of Lord Muccia•s - t, After which, a Cabinet Council was held at his Lordship's Office.

Tuesday and Wednesd.ty night, when he insured No. 101, to beidrawn blank or prize the following day, for five shillings and three-pence ; as prem.uas for which, he paid sixpence on Tuesday night, and aevenpence or. Wednesday eight. He stated the g•. neral practice of this private Lottery. It is seldom, drawn more than twice in the same place, to avoid detection. Some persons who insure in the Lottery are admitted to he present at the drawing, w'-dch is done in the following manner :—Any of the in surers are allowed to hold the bags, which contain the tickets, and blanks atud prizes, while the prisoner King takes out a ticket; having proclaimed the nava. .• -bey, he then tsk.s out ore !rom she bla-k and prise bag, and proclaims whether the number drawn is a blank or prize; the latter PI uuty aaminal, bri g merely tor the purpose of insuring blank and prig , . or prize only.

A number of five shillings and threepences were insured for.
