AZtONGST the Letters from Hatibukh - brought by.the Mail, is' one of the . 1 3th in.t. which states, - • that the French Ninister at flambuigh, bad received intelligence from Vienna, of an Armiltice having -been concluded between the Austrixs acid French, 'by viitee (W . -which . the. I,ttis:)ians .*ere; to mare! home,-. and, Negotiations far a defititivd Treaty of Peace were immediately to commence. The Letter likewise contains a Proclamation, issued by BONA.. I),ARTE, dated'ffead-quarters, at Austerlitz, the 3d instill which he speaks of a decisive victory having been obtained over the Allies. We have given the Let- terin a subsequent Colurnn i .but do not believe one 4 7 0,4 of the, Armistice - , unless it \Va."; a stratagem to goin time, The Proattrutt 4211 6r iIotTAFARTE Ci'l• dently relates to the Battle of the 2d; in which the i'rench.pkiined iiartial vidoryi.and which, in the syle of 'Prench , e*aggeration, is Magnified into a total defeat of the 411les. No - totie word is slid in the 'Proclaniation of any Armistice having, been_ concluded, although it is not pretended to have been of a later date than the 3d, the date of the Procla mation. . . it . seems, indeed, almost a waste of words to com bat this shadow of an ArMistice, which could not have4rsy real existence. It is certain ,that the battle continued on the 34, and 4th, on whichlatter day the ',French .I,Vere 'et length defeated" and compelled to retreat. If, :therefore, there had been any Ar mistice on the or. 3d, it must have, been .merely irstr,itageM on one Side or the other, nor is it to be believed that so Important a circumstance as the con crusion of an. Armistice should not have been known at Oltny,,i . .z, only twenty miles frOm the scene of ac tion, .nn the sth, or not mentioned in Letters froM thenceoC that date. 'Z'he whole of these exaggerated aml erroneous statements have arisen from the advantage gained by the French on the first clay of the A4lion, the 2d of this month. No time was lost in trumpeting this success, through Europe, 'with all the enibellish :;ittents, or, in plainer language, falsehoods, with ,ingenuity knows so well i bow to de, eorate..a. trifling- advantage.

Tha march of the Prussian'Army in aid ,of the Allies- must, however, derange all his plans of operation. We anxiously wait the arrival of further intelligence front the Continent, which will doubt less be, in every point of view, of the higheit im portance. We shall only again observe, that the story of, the Armistice is wholly unworthy ,of credit. it appears clearly that the French Minister at Hamburgh had no intelligtnee front the scene of ;talon later than the 2d : the Battles, therefore, of the 3d and 4th, are in themselves a sufficient refutation of the state ment in the Hamburgh Letter. Wu this morning received a Letter from"lIolland, which states, that on the Itth instant 7000 I. 4. lcnch Troops marched into Delftzell, arid immediately he,. gan to repair the .Uortiiirations of that place ; and that orders have been issued for putting all the For treEscs in HolLmd, particularly on the side of Prussia, in the best state of defence., As i lie, following Official Bulletin, circulltej yes_ terday afternoon by Government, only appeared in part of onr tnpresion, we this day again insert it : • "Qflicial advice's . from Haniburgh, Of the 13th, state, that an Est:Sette passed through tha town on the t 2tll from Berlin, bearinethelletails cf the Bat tle between the Allies and the French it, Moravia. The event was not accurately know] to His Majep.ty's Minister at Hamburg!), but le learned that though tht. eentre‘ of the Allies was defeated on thud, they had renewed the Battle m the 3d, andrhat it lasted during the whole of the 4th,, and probably into the sth ; and that the tide of success turned completely in favour of the Russian. No- - thing could exceed the enthusiasm of joy xt Berlin on learning that the Emperor ALEXANDER was safe, after displaying the most transcendant hero'sm. a Government have also received advice! *pm a respectable quarter, detailing many partiouhrs, 'the sum of which seema to be, that on the std the French attacked the Allies on their marCh--..that taey di reßed their whole efforts against the Centre, which not being formed when the attack commence!, they succeeded in defeating, after a bloody coda of several hours, in which the Centre lost the, whole 'of its Cannon that the Allies retreated from the field to Wischau„ and did not seem to have teen followed by the French, so that the'Emperor ALSX. ANDER, who had displayed the most determined. egu rage on the 2d, renewed the Battle on the ad and 4th ; and by his ardent fortitude and example ; turned eta fortune of the Contest in favour 'of the Russianq. He rode thro' the most tremendous j fire, calling out to the Army "ilielory', or Dealit!" which was returned by exclamations from his Troops that " they never wouldPrsgke their Emperor.!' "The Russians having i lost /heir Artillery on the were during the following. days ordered to tight s with the sword and bayonet; and the filial result was, that the 'Elnperor recovered all his cannon, and the whole ground be had lest.
