If the negoeieions of Nicotshing shah have the desired saccess, there is ground to hope, that the Continent nil: enjoy a general peace. The report circulated, that the preliminaries of peace were already stFned, is destitute off ration. . If we are to believe the news from liwana, M. Custra Haugwitz was to set out from that city di redly, for Berlin, after having had, on the dth, at S:boenbrunn, a conference with the Emperor of the French. After the battle of the 2J, there was, on both sides, a great many wounded ; and i n pr otee l th em from the cold, they were laid upon straw, and a fire W.!s made all around them. Unfurtuately, a storm arose, wi ich blew the fire upon the straw, and they were newly all burned. The Officers who have set out for France with th: news of the Armistice, say, that the Mameluke, Ro.!an, was killed in the battle, and that Prince Murat was slightly wounded. These two ankles of intelligence require confirmation. The French have already construded upon the Danube a small flotilla of transports, undia the command of Capt. Lastange. the public prints state, that the conference between the Emperors 'Francis and Napi.leun, took place at the Freach advanced posts, in a mill, near Bruun, any that it lasted two hours. Private letters from Vienna state, that on the 2d of this mons.:i, the day of the sanguinary bat:le of Count Haug wits, Minister of State, and of the Cabinet cif His Prussian Majesty, dined with the French Nlir.;.:er Talleyrand, and that he dined the precedizE t day N ith Count Stadion, the Austrian Minister, with M.

The Ras sian General, Count Tol.toy, set out with them Inc Nienburg ; and, in a few lic,urs, he was followed by the English Gestial, Don.

The aheette of this city contains further accounts of the aftizie w . .th the Bavarians on the .s:h rf this month, the day bef..re the Armist: , :e, in eonse. quence of which Stoken and /glint were occupied by our troops, and the total de: - eat of the Bavarian General Wrede was prevented enly by night. The loss of tie enemy in this engagement, so glorious for the Austrian arms, amnunts (says the report) itt killed, wounded, and pr;,,, e - es , to more than 16 00 men. Among the latter were, besides 800 private soldiers, 20 Officers, wire t Majors. The Colonel of the Electoral Prince's Ligitt-horse, Count Sohns, vt.o missing by the enemy's troops, early on the 7th. In comparison to the advantage obtained, cur loss was incoosiderable.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3. it • • Three of the four Hamhargh Mails due, vie. those ' of the 17:!„ 3.hh , and 24th, arrived yesterday. They contii ,n the disastrous intelligence of the de feat of the Allies un the 21, and of the Armistice on the dd., which put an cod to the late m's: interesting and extraordinary war. They also communicate two important events, which 44- gravate thus deplorable result. On the ith , the day before the signing of the armistice, the Bava rian corps, under General We toe, was defeated by the Archduke Fee ot NAND, with the loss of upwards of 1,600 men, and 40 officers. Night only saved the Bavarian army from total destruction. The bawl; was fought near 'glen, on the coufines of Bohemia and Moravia, and his success enabled the ARCHOUISt to occupy lglau and Stuken with his troops. This aff.ir was no doubt the source of the reports of battles between the Grand Armies, subsequent to the 2.1. And of the reminded success of the Allies. The other circumstance which aggravates the me lancholy termination of the war, is the success of the Archduke kLES. That reliant and able General, according to T/ie Peet Gateffe, obtained a vidoty over a part of Marshal NIT'S corps, at Farstenfelif, about thirty miles east of Gratz. The less of French in ti is Anon is stated at 2,000 kiileJ and wounded, 4,000 prisoners, and twelve piec , :s of cannon. The previous papers apprised us that the French had celleeest a consider aisle force at Gratz, to cut off the A nominee's march to Vienna. lids vidory secured his retreat, and enabled him to accomplish a treasure, which is considered a 44' d'ertivre in military tadics.— He took peso's:ion of Gratz ; and the way being now up in before him to Vi-nna, he dispatched Woad lia 'Den tOSU/DiC:SI that city to surrender. MIMIC arrived on the 10th, and suinmoned the city; bur returned to the ARCHIDURet will the mortifying answer to the gallant Falser., that all his gallantry and perseverance were vain, a suspen sion of ernes having taken place. Some farther particulars of the battle of the 21 are given in the thirty-third Bulletin of the Grand Army, and paragraphs from all the place: in the vicinity of the immediate theatre of war.—The Bulletin is dated** 7th, at Austetlitz, then the headquarters i f BORAFAI re. hut wisieft were to be removed at night to Briton. It states the loss of the Russians at 13,0. 0 killed, and 7000 wounded ; Austrians, 600 killed ; Frercn, 300 killed. ant: 30-3 wounded. General BUlTlovtias, the Russian Corn. mender-in-Chief, and several triter Russian Generals, were killed in this engagement, and General Ku resr,W was in the number of the wounded. Of the French, Generals Kteetestan, SEINSTISNI, THILCIUT, DUMONT. Mk:IISSY, and V•Lift'ICNY, were wounded. 'llse last is since dead of his wounds. The unauthenticated accounts add, that RCAT•Tv Bos AAAAA I'S f .vouthe kfatueluke, was killed. Boerne r► Wore a grey great cs•at, es. anly the same dyes, whi c h he wore in the battle of Marengo. He 11 , 1 a he-se killed under hi nin the e..gagem• and several -67:ers fell at his ride. The Russians eti..rgol five 5-Ten tirnes sivi:h the hayoset, and .were as often repulsed, with g.eat slaughter. The battle lasted s-vv:, hours. It has been observed, that the Emperor of Rests is not a subscribing party to the Ar mistice, as given in the French Papers. The Hannsurgh Papers do not contain scityy of the ar ticle, but it is uniformly described as as Armistice between the French and Austro-RD.s . an armies. The Emperor of GIRILIIST is stated in a letter from Breslau, of the 12th, to be at 11 ilitsch, with a part of his army; and the Emperor Ate:- •abaa, at Teschen, in Silesia, on his return to St. Prersbuirgh. The Grand Duke CossrAsinet, and Prince Den.octecen the favourite of the P.m. peror Act:as/net, attired at Berlin, on the 13th. Accounts from Newburgh, of the 24:h, state, that the GRAND DUKE had offered to His PILgSIAt4 MAJISTT, the whole of the Russian army to be at his entire t'isposal, but that HIS PRUSSI•N NIAJasTr had declined the offer. We do not find any ittelli. voice to this etresfl,however,in the Hambugh Papers of the 24:h. These i f istinguished Russians may have visited Berlin for the purpose of procuring some fa cilities for the return of the remains of the Russian army. It is stated, also, in private accounts, that the Preliminaries of Peace were signed on tke 9th ult. between Austria and trance. An articie, dated Amsterdam, 17th, states, that an English transport was wrecked on the 15th, near the Helder, and that only fourteen, out of two hun dred and fifty ssld,eis on boarl,wete saved. Another English transport went ashore near the Texel, with 161 troops on board ; of whom sore than 100 Were saved. TLe latter was probably the lieuhr transport. - We have received New-York Pi pets to the last. - !hey anno ur.ceOrk•lllMlll 4 4 • ,1 L a r.gress ilie 3.1, when Ca.
