THE BRITISH PRESS. LON i)ON, WEDNESDAY. J•NuAly 1. Monday morning an urder was received at Rams gate, by Capt. RA INts, the Naval Officer who super intended the embarkation of the troops, for foreign service, at that place, for all the empty transports in that Harbour, the Downs, &c. to be immediately sent to the Elbe and the Weser, under a proper es- tort ; and, at the same time, Lord KEITN received orders to appoint the convoy. The Countess of Elgin cutter, then at Ramsgate, was also ordered to sail nmediately with dispatches for the Commander ,ridsh troops upon the Continent. The order sailing of the transports, extended even to s a. had troops on. board, which it required to e ..inedisktely re-landed, and that the vessels should roceed with the other empty transports, without day. Preparations were imme 'iately made to rry these orders into execution ; and, about four clock on Monday, the empty transports got under le l t i 'es, from Ramsgate, to join the other vessels of e same description in the Downs, from whence e whole wets to sail direttly for the Continent. st wind was fair, and promised a quick passage. ~,, as generally understood at Ramsgate, that these vessels are sent for the purpose of bringing Lome our troops from the Continent ; and, indeed, no doubt can be entertained but that such is their Itoobjed. This measure is decisive evidence of the tal defeat of the Allies, of the fatal termination of campaign, and of the hopeless and irretrieval ite of the affairs of the Continent ; we are sorry, wirer, to say, we wanted not this proof. In ir previous columns we have laid before our aders a copy of the armistice concluded between e Emperor of GILIIMANY and BONA , of hick we gave a correA outline yesterday It ipulates, that the French are to retain, until the mclusion of a definitive treaty of peace, their poti ons in Moravia, and also to occupy all Upper aad ewer Austria, 'Fyrol, the Venetian States, Carin tie, Styria, Carniola, Istria, and the country of ions, besides great part of Bohemia :—All the iteitories, taken or not taken, from the soothers oast of Istria, to Vienna, to Brunn and Olninta, re to be considered as iii the occupation of the 'reach. Hungary alone is to be considered as un :cupied ; yet even there the Empaease .4 AMY is net to be permitted to order any key-ne m, yr tennTranton. ate is not to recruit in ohemia, and no foreign army is to enter the tightly . : territories. The Russians are to evacu- Moravia and Hungary, in a fortnight, and Gal a in a month, by routes to be prescribed by the rnch. No mention is made of the Archduke watts, though we suppose tne Armistice is to be isidered as extending to him. Negotiations for Definitive Peace are to he immeliately opened at eholsburg. The Armistice is not signed by any rson on the part of the Emperor of Rossi A ; and lhould seem as if it had ►ern concluded without having any share in it. The principal articles the Armistice were agreed upon by the Emperor GEtssaNY, and Bon* AAAAA in person,nn theath, t were not signed until the Gth. Into the cause of is delay, however, and several other circumstances, a, at present, wear the appearance of contradic and inconsistency in theFreach accounts, it is now io importance to inquire. In addition to these, to of the sae-disant confidential prints of Govern at say, they have learned that Baron 031TMA, Hanoverian Minister at Berlin, has written to Hanoverian Mission in London, " that Count ICKENSTEIN, the Prussian (large d'Affaires, at ichen, had transmitted to his Cotsrt news from armies in Moravia, dated the sth instant, which kes no mention of any armistice whatever. also relates the circumstances attending the ion of the 2J, very differently from the state• nts of the French Flulletin, and expressly men ss, the Ru-sians rallied before the even , aod retook a considerable part of their tar n, and a number of their prisoners."— e sal- disan: confidential Prints of Government ely cannot mean by this to prove that no such sistice has taken place; and, it they do not, the ne of the Baron 0 ATLDA is introduced to little 'pose. ft is m o re reasonable to pi esume that the tea accounts arc exaggerated, and t!-.at some of r apparent inc..nsi,tencies are capable of ex iation, this tq comider them as totally destitute ru , h. Tee Government Prints are not, how. 's agreed upon this sohjett, for some o 4 them es in their lamentations, even the bitterest wail. of the opposition press. One of them does hesitate to co npare the situation of Mr. :rt regal.' of the part which he had in uggle, to that of Dililt3tTNEtli t, after the tat Chn;unea, so fatal to the Lberties of ~~, 1. 1 I H .. I r ;.• o s. Greece. We hope the ciies are n:t It is well known that DLMOSIII69I.I ran away at the battle of Chxrunea, and that a bramble having caught his robe, in his fl.ght, he cried out for quarter. Canran pedants display their learn- log, but at the expenre of their miter ? We rely upon the order for the re:all of our troops, as decisive evidence th.it ! 1 / 4 1i,..kters believe the news in its foil extent. In :he present circumstances of Fu rope, it wouid he idle to attempt to defend Hanover; and that Prqs•iA should resist the enormous mot of militaty force, flushed with vietory, whidt B.)01Ar•lali: has ready to march against her, is of the question. Our troops in Hanover are tha!laver of our army. Mi nisters as wisely its endeavouring to bring them home as fast as they can. Fortunately, the weather is more favourable than we had a right to ex pel at this season of the year. If the wily Cor sican has not laid a plan to entrap them, we can have no doubt of their safe return. We know, however, that we have every thing to dread, which the most inveterate hostility and the most consum mate fraud can effei9. The French frigate, La Lire, of 2 . 4 Lighteen pounders, on her main deck, 6 thirty-six pound carronades, and 10 nine-pounders, on the quarter deck and fore-castle, with a complement of 280 men, was taken off Rochfort, on Christmas eve, by the Egypt:vine and Lear, frigates, after a smart ac tion of half an hour, in which La Libra had 20 men killed and wounded, and was so cut up, that her masts went overboard soon after she struck. La Late sailed from Flushing, on the 14th of November, in company with another large frigate ; they went north about, and parted company on the 9th inst. off the coast of Scotland. We understand, that as soon as it was knows that they had sailed, independent'y of the mea sures taken to intercept them in the North Sea and the Channel, orders were sent to Lord G A Rome It, at Cork, to send two frigates to look after them, in case they went north-about. It is gratifying to find that we have been so far successful in the capture of La Libre, and we have no doubt of the cap ture of the other frigate, should any of oar cruisers fan in with her.

LORD gELSON. The late visit of the Lord Mayer to the Public Offices, has been in support of the dignity of the City, and to remonstrate against his Lordship's situ. atiun in the funeral procession of Lord Nelson, to follow the Lord Chief Justice. His Lordship has • contended, from custom, for his right to follow any personage of the Blood Royal, the same as if His Majesty were in the procession. It has ever been customary. when His Majesty visits the City, in state, for the Lord Mayor to meet him at Temple Bar, when he presents His Majesty with the City Swot d of State, and the King desires his Lord ship to follow him. His Lordship obtained this wished-for objeft of honour. on Monday ; and the arrangement was made at the Heralds' Office, for him to follow the Royal Dukes. •. Yesterday afternoon, three o'clock, his Lord ship, several Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and the Town Clerk, met Mr. Wyatt, the architer, at •t. Paul's, to arrange the places for the accommodation of the Corporation of the City of London. The applica tions for seats are so extremely numerous, that Mr. Wyatt gave dire:lions for seats to be made to the top of the arches, which was not originally in tended ; likewise, for additional seats in the West Gallery, which will decidedly have the best view of the solemn procession. Seats are likewice to be eretled in the Portico, on the outside of the Ca thedral The workmen began yesterday to cover the preparations with black cloth. The Spanish Admiral's two large flags were yesterday exhibited; they are hung upon ropes, in the front of the two West arches, under the dome, and they completely fill them sip.

Lady 141‘..isosi's ball, which we announced to take place last Friday, at his Lordship's seat near Lincoln, was most numerously attended; the sup per-tables were decorated with garlands of flow ers, from the fair hands of the lovely daugh ters of the house. The dancing was kept up with great spirit, until past five o'clock, when the com pany departed, highly gratified by their evening's entertainment. The Ladies were most elegantly dressed; that of Mrs. Mav,rca.Sorrow and Miss Survon, were much admired. Last Friday, the festival of St. John the Evange list was celebrated at the Old Ship, Brighton, by the Royal Clarence Lodge of Freemasons, under the presidency of General Lemon. The Brethren, after closing the business of their Lodge, in the evening retired from that scene of harmony, to conduet the lades, who attended by invitation, to the ball-room. . 1 1 INN rs ••• ;lo i; 1RO!
