BRESLAU, nrc. 18. The Russian troops are partly withdrawing from Moravia, into cantonments in Silesia ; the newly arrived columns remain, for the present, in that country. The last were conduaed by General von Bennigsen, and they arrived on the 15t1s, 16th, and 17th, at Breslau and the neighbourhood. They are fine stout men. The dearth increases every day. A very great scarcity prevails in Moravia. Among the persons who have repaired from Mo trivia to BresLan, is M. von. Gentz. BRESLAU, DEC. CPI. It is asserted in our Ga:rile, that the armistice which has been concluded in Moravia, has been pro !tinged to the mei of March. scummy, DEC. 15.

The course of the pests between this city and Vienna, is now t►u logger inter r upzed. the 10th, not only mentions leleconclision of the Armistice, but the certainly ex peaed arrival, on the Sth, of His Majesty, the Em petor.Alettander, at l'eschen, on his return to St. 4 1Petenbutes. . The trobps on either aide, says the Gazette of this cite, will be, maw that the Armistice is concluded, removed from theicpresent cantonments, into more extensive ones. The posts between this city and Vi- alma, are TV) longer impeded. In the Troppe.an news paper of tbe• 13th, the conclusion of the armistice is not only mentioned, but likes...i.e. that the arrival of theLmparfOr Alexander at Teschen, ou his return to Petersbargh, was expeleJ with certainty. It adds, lowever satisfaaory these circumstances may be, • we are flfl.d with anxious concern, by the inelan ' dsoly intelligence, that Her Majesty, our most gra - tines Empress, has been attAcled, while on her j o u s ipay, with a serious ition. It is hoped. however. that in a few slays, she will be out of drier. ritualises or si LULA, MI. 111. - °Wall 9th inst.

The intelligence that a peace between Austria► and France may soon he erpe&ed to be signed at Nicols lihrg, is confirmed from every quarter ; and the consequence will be, that the Continental war will spread no farther; and that Prussia will maintain a system of neutrality with respeet to the North cf Germany. The Prussian Plenipotentiaries will also negotiate with the Emperor Napoleon, to effect a General Peace, under the mediation of Prussia.

Our Minister of Marine,Vetheul, has enquired of Admiral Kirkhert, commanding at the Tex 1, whe ther, as the English papers lately stated, h? had of ficially sent off false accounts, relative to the conclu sion of a peace under the walls of Vie', by a flag of truce to the English Admiral ? K rsert has de clared, in vindication of himself, that, in return for tle intelligence in favour of England, which the English Admiral bad sent by a flag of truce, he had communicated to him, by a coasting vessel, the victories of the French, and the account of the truce, which, as was currently reported at Amster dam, had been concluded under the walls of Vienna. This intelligence, however, he had not sent, either as official, or by a flag of truce, but had merely writ ten a few lines by the coaster to the above effect This circumstance has caused the Minister of Marine to forbid the sending. in future, of any flag of truce, I.r no other purpose but that of communicating po litical intelligence. THE BRITISH PRE SS. LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10. The following tom to LLUY n's: Lion was yesterJay sent ADINTRALTY-OT/ICE, JAN. 9, 1 SO6. On the 25th ult. Admiral Sir John Duckworth fell in with a French squadron, consist:mg of six sail of the Line mid one Frigate, in Lat. 31. Long. 20., and chased it to tot. 28. 41 Long.l9. 37 ; when, neni its superiority of sailing, (hying fresh ships) he lost sight of them, although at one time, his own ship, the Superb, was within six miles of the stenimostship of the enemy; this., of his own being at that time out of sight a-strn. Tne chace continued thi.trone bows. The Hamburgh Mail, due on Wednesday se'ns night, arrived yesterday, with letters and pipers to the 29th last. They announce the commence ment of hostilities in Hanover, between the Anglo-Russian army and the French. On the 24d, au anion took place between Eft.ckmulilen and Altenhagen, which terminated in the complete nieces, of the Russian and English forces. I'he Fiends had many killed and wounded, and 200 taken prisoners, with two pieces of cannon. The enemy consisted of between 5 and 600 men, part of the garrison of Hameln, on their march towards Springen. The remainder of them were obliged to retreat to Hameln. The reports of a rupture between Prussia and France, and of the renewal of the war in Germany, so industriously propagated by some of our cotem poraries, are totally at variance with the contents of the Hamburgh Mails. 7'he Br,-;laa Gazette, of the 20th, states, that the Armistice has been pro- pnged to the cad of March neat, and many other articles concur in representing a peace betwea Austria and France, as a certain and immed:a'e evert. 'elle German Papers contain the thirty•fouith thiriy-fifth bulletins of the Grand Array ; the former of which may 'oeurzed in confirmaliod of this account. It is dated the 10th, at Munn, and asserts, that Prince JOIIN of ',teat E sISI tin had arrived there, on the 9th, with full powers to negociate on the part of the Emperor of Acsr R:A ; and that the con ferences between him and TA LLLIIRANn r were in full lain. The 35th Bnlletin stares, that the Russian ;unit , began it: march on the nth, on its return home.-- It marched in three divisions, by three sever ii routes. The Emperor ALEX Pincs, at the head of the first division, set out from Teschen on the Std', and arrived ar Bielitz on the 9th. The retreat of . the Russian troops precludes all hope of the cm. tinuance of the scar in Gzrmaily, %Inch , arrival of the Aid:Juke Cu Atte. xs„ii vicinity of Vie:tha, may have inspired. 1 .,- t troops under the command of that gallant Priace, which had arrived at Neustadt, within three posts of Vienna, have evacuated that position, by • virtue of the Armistice. He has thus given his praaical consent to that measure, and c. rtlr it by his condua. He did all th sk I!, courage, and perseverance, could effed, but he could nut refuse his acquiescence to the Arrn;s•ii-i!. The Seth Bulletin concludes w. 61 SA ;;lig-- " Prussia never had a s^lid att.! disinterested Crime' but France ;" and the 35:11 adls —4' S. , veral let ters from Vienna assert, in strong terms, that a war with Prussia is not far distant, but it is much more oto be believed that a Continental peace is near." These Bulletins,talthough sirs nge anomalous mit tures, have some pretensions to an official charadter. These expressions shoe, that BON APAR/IL is not quite at ease with respra to Prussia ; but, when combined with other circumstances, they tend to prove that he is nct greatly alarmed. Count Hat:owl-re left Vienna on the 13th, noon his return ,to Berlin, and we have nn reason to pre:urre, that he did not part the Eta rhos of the French, upon the best possible terms, and with full assurance, that His PRUSSIA, M SJISTY would continue tb adhere, to that wire and riiignifited system, which he has hitherto observed. Admit al Kt eienta r, wefind, has been called Upon by the Patch Government, to account fur his ex traordinary letter, lat. ly sent to this country in an open boat. He has rated, in his justification, that the contents of :he letter were consisfired true at the time, and that he rent it men* in retaliation upon the English Admiral, who had previously seat hint intelligence in favour of England. It thus appears that Ki H filer letter was not a fthrication. A letter from Amsterdam, of the 2lst, mentions i the loss of the Mary transport, of London, and tlfe .Isl6thil, of Liverpnol, upon th:r roast of Holiand -270 men were on bnard the former, of whom '23 were saved-3N were on board the latter, of whom tes were saved. A report prevailed last night, that Governme had rece•iverl dispatches from Admiral Cot. %w.sc us, stating that the Brest fleet was nut, and he had strong hopes of being able to bring them to aalon. We have not been able to ascertain %skit Ilegree of credit is due to this rumour. Yesterday morning, His Mai rsrr, Princesses AUGUSTA, St),IIIA. and AIILLIA, rodeos horseback in Windsor Great Park.
