Th.: dead lvi.nes have been counted, and found to amount to 13,000 Russians, 600 Austrians, and 500 French. We have 7,000 wounded Russians, and, according to all accounts, 5,000 wounded French. General Roger Valhubert is dead of his wound;. He wrote to the Emperor, an hoer before his death, " I wish I could have dane mare for you ; I shall sot live above an hour. I regret not lite, because I i,part;cipated it: a victory which secures to you a happy reign. When you think an the brave men who are entirely devoted to you, think likewise on me. I need only to remind you, that I have a fa mily ; a farther recommendation is netdless." Generals Kellerman°, Sebastiani, and *Fhiebaut are out of danger. Generals Dumont and Maris,- have been wounded, but not so dangerously. Names of the Generals who have been taken pri soners : Bubizenski, W'implen, Muller, Zazowski, Mullerberg, Vekechon, Stritzy, Szerkal:cd, Prince Repnin, Prince Siberki, Adrian, Laganoii, Sulima, Mezenkafr, and Woyzikoff.

The Emperor has sent for the Minister Tal leyrand, from Vienna to Brunn. The negociations are earri..l on at Nicolsburg. M.

L The order of the diy at the headquarters at Bruen, on the t7th of November, is of the follow ing tenor : " The Emperor has learned, with pain, the dis orders which are crmmitted in the rear of the army, and which incrrase to such a pitch, that they de mand all his attention. Some wretches seek to dis honour the army t and, instea I of repairing w their standards, in hest of the enemy, they remain be hind, and commit nll sorts of excesses, and even of crimes. His Maj. sty ordered five columns to march, eacb commanded by a Clone!, having under him a Chtf dr Frrad v,s, a Captaiu of infantry, and Offi cer of the Gtn-X4-rserre, and a Magistrate of the country. I'hey are to arrest every soldier, v ha, trader pretence of fatigue, shall remain behind, In maraud, try hint by a Military Commission, and impish him as he deserves." I it nrc. 4. (From The rim. G.tere.) The troops that advanced ender the command of the Marshal Davoust, to Preshurg, and stiil fArther along the Danube, have returned, after haying ac complished the °lied of their mission. As Count Palfy had aaaullesi, is writing, the proposals mad: by him, on the 16th of November, that Mogul should abstain from all hostilities, and remain en. dryly neutral, under the pretext that he had aSed without superior authority. His Imperial French Majesty ordered a corps of maps to advance into Hungary, to ascertain the sentiments of the people, and the preparations making in that country. They every where m.t with the most friendly rcreption ; they found an universany prevailing conviaion, that an army, vbicli, in time short space of four weeks, bad annihilated a f 'see of ;00,000 men ; which had forced the p.ts%es of the Tyrol ; which bad marched triumphant &rough the Venetian states, and all the Duchies of Austtil ; which had taken the capital of the Austrian Monarchy, and penetrated into the heart of Bohemia, and Moravia ; that such an army could asst be opposed by an insurraion hastily raised, un trained, unsupported by artillery, or regular infan try; even if this insurreAion were animated with the best resolutions, the brave men composing it would only sacriSce themselres in vain ; in vain would they expose their country to the devastations of war, and even endanger their constitution. The in!:abitants, universally, perceive, that these dangers may be averted by a peaceable behaviour ; &at they may obtain an alleviation of calamity, and the en j ,ymant of advantages, not by force, but by the snagnanim* tv of the vidorious hero. The most ridictillus and extravagant reports ere ate alarm among the honest and well-disposed in baiitants of this met: opolis.

It is merely to..e ta contempt that aese wretches have hitherto been en duted. lhey will, however, compel the French tribunals to take a new step to parity the minds of the inhabitants of Vienna, who are so dear to His Majzsty. For the maintenance of security and tranquillity in Austria, a Grit%-11.4rwerle, to be composed of French and natives, is now rirganizing. TGe Gazette of this city says, that the best under standing exists between France and Prussia. It was the Gcrieral of Division. Gaudin, who marched with a corps of 9000 men to Presburg, and the adjacent country. DEC. 7. General Hulin, Commandant of the city, an nounced, yesterday morning, to the Burgomasters, that peace was concluded between I. tance and Austria, and that it would be ratified within two days.

The Emperor Napoleon was dressed on the dsy of battle, as usual. fie wore a grey surtout, and traversed the line t his army with incredible ce lerity. Ile was several times obliged to change his horse. When the Emperor Francis visited the Emperor Napoleon, the latter apologised for the manner in which he was dressed. had passed several hours in the marshes, up to the Lice, assisting the wounded Russians and Austrians, who were stick ing in them. A bulletin of tl.is city states, that not one French man was made prisoner in the battle of Austerlitz. We hav,• now received certain intelligence that his Roy.sl Highness the Archduke Charles has ef felted his retreat into Croatia. The loss which he 'tis erperienced is not considerable. He has saved the wnole of his artillery. Tnis retreat is generally considered a ri.fd'arrre of the military art. RATISIoN, DEC 9. Official accounts, received from Vienna. state, that on the 4•h instant, an interview took place be tween His Roman Imperial Majesty, and the Em peror of the Frencn, at the advanced posts of the two armies. An Armistice followed. The Aus trian Minister, Count Stadion, and the Minister of State, M. Talleyrand, repaired, on the 6th, to Vienna, to the head-quarters of His Majesty the Em peror Napoleon. M. Lie Hedouville, in the absence of the Minis ter, Bachcr, has published the following bulletin : VItNM•, DEC. 5. Last night, abort eleven o'clock. we first received the particulars of the estiaordinary victory which the Emperor of the French obtained on the 2,i of December, in the plains of Austerlitz. The banlelasted seven hours, and the Austrians, who were 0,000 strong, endearrnwed to °sawing and surround the French army. The genius of the Emperor Napoleon, frustrated their plan, 13,009 Russians were killed, the greater part drowned. A corps of Russian cavalry, of 3,000 horse, which were drawn up by the side of a lake, endeavoured to save themselves, by passing the ice, and were all lost. Above 20,003 prisoners have been taken. AU the field artillery of the enemy, consisting of 120 pieces of cannon, have fallen into the hands of the French ; fifteen Russian Centrals have been made prisoners. 'fl.e Emperor Napoleon. who was present every where, saw and direeted every thing. The left wing of the army was commanded by Marshal Soult, the centre by Marshal Bernadotte, the right wing by Marshal Lannes, and the ca valry by Prince Murat. Marshal Soult. when attacked by the Russians, made a feint, as it retiring into the pLin, when, at the same moment, the Emperor Napoleon fell fu riously or. the Russians. and defeated ti:em. The campaign may be considered as ended. The Emperor of the French is expeded in a few days at Vienna. The above bulletin is an tura& from a letter, written on the held of battle by Mitshal Bertl.ler, the Nlisista et War. to M. Talle)rand. a•TISSON, MC. I $.

We have not yet received circumstantial accounts of the battle at Austerlitz ; but, according to'all the private letters, it was extremely bloody, and only d-cided by the arrival of Marshal Bernadotte. The Russian army has approached the frontiers of Hun gary. We 'soca soon to receive more particular accounts.—(nieslau Gazette.) DEC. 12. After the battle of Austerlitz, the Austro-Rus- Sian army proceeded towards the frontiers of Hun gary ; a^d, nn the sth, an armistice was concluded between the respeElive armies. We have re.ison to hope, that it will be followed by a peace. The Emperor of Austria is, with ■ part of his army, at Holitsch ; and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia is upon his road for Teschen, from *hence he will return to Saint Petersburg. If we may believe accounts which we have re ceived from the frontiers of Moravia, the French summoned the city of Olmutz to surrender on the 4th. The head-quarters of the French army are at Wischau, and the azmy itself bad advanced as far as Pratznitz, within four leagues of Olmutz. DEC. lg. Our paper of the 16th contains the followin " The advance of the fresh Ru,sian troops is counter manded till farther orders. Ihe want of provisions, especially of forage, was very great in the Austrian camp, during the last days." And in our Paper of this day, we read as follows: Yesterday, the second column of the Russian army, under the command of his Excellency, the General in Chief, Baron ♦on Bennigsen, marched through our city. It was composed of a regiment of grenadiers, one of musketeers, and sue of cui rassiers. s , The following Generals of the Russ:an army, among oth..rs, are missing since the battle of the 2d. Gene; al Muller, of the Jager, General Muller, of the Hulans, and General von Sackett. They were all wounded. " His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Con stantine dined here, on his way to Berlin, with the Minister of State, the Count von Hoym." MORAVIA. DCC. 5. Certain accounts have been received, that after the battle a the 2d, an Armistice was concluded, on the 4th, between the Belligerent Powers. A few days before, the Archduke Ferdinand, with his army, which now is ::0,000 strong, arrived in and near Iglaw, after having gained a considerable advantage over the Bavarian corps of General Wrede, in that vicinity. In contradiction of the report of the expected neutrality of Hungary. it is only necessary to say, that 40,000 men of the insurrection were ready to take the field on the Sth of Hstcentber.—(Ber'.‘ Ga:elte ) TROY THE ITESD-QUARTSRI OT THR COMIVTID ISt fatlLL LIED RUSSIAN •RMIES. esititich, in :Arora‘la. D•c. S. After the united armies had advanced, on the le December, to Austerlitz, the enemy took .s po sition near Sokolnitz and Menitz, along the l..ke, and preparations were made to attack him. On the 2d, early in the morning, when all the c - lumns had not yet marched out, the urtion very warm between the advarced guards, and the whole line was soon afterwards engaged. The enemy at first made a feint, as if intending to force the lef, w:ng ; but su2denly he made a vigorous at tack on the centre, which gave way. But as his re. peatesl attacks on the left wing had not nicceeded, his right wing was pressed and threatened to be taken in flank, he coo!'" no', hettfore, make much progreu in advance. and only eitrem,ly slowly, and it was not till late i■ the eve ing that the left wing was obl:ged to give way to superior force, and the army took its position before itastariira, of whirl it was still in possession. The loss cannot yet be ascertained ; hut, con sider:ng the heavy fire maintained, the repeated at tacks and charges of cavalry, it rr.ust have been prodigiously great on both sides. The Combined Army, which was 5.3.00 strong, has to-day taken a position near Caeitsch ;in or der to march by Golding, to facilitate procuring the means of subsistence, and obtaining reinforce menu of every kind. The corps of General Von Essen, 12,000 strong. joined the Austrian and Russian army after the battle, in which tl-ey had fought with the most de termined bravery. !CLAW, DEC. 6.
