~xrMi~ !Pirt Frizi, the FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS: UTRECHT, Dec. 4.--We learn that four thousand French Troops are a&ually upon their march from Brabant through Bois-le-Due, Grave, Niemeguen, to v. aids Overyssel. The Drench General, 'DEIGN Y, is to command this Corps, as Commandant-in Chief in the Department of the Roer, and in the Line ofthe Ysel. This General is one of Marshal LISFEBUREPS Lieutenants, and his head-quarters are at Niemeguen. STUTGARD, DEC. I.—We learn from Augs bourgh, that two Columns of Russian and Austrian Prisoners arrived there on their way to France, on the 27th and 2sth ult. escorted by the Troops of Baden. In the course of .a few days the Russians, who laid down their arms at the battles of Dierenstein and Guntersdorf, and in the plains of Moravia, were expe&ed at Augsbourgh. The workmen, assisted by the inhabitants ofMem mingen,.continue the dernolition of the works at that place; the people are happy in being thus freed from the horrors of a siege. Considerable changes are talked of in Suabia, re speeiting the Possessions belonging to the Teutonic Order. Both French and Bavarian Officers havelate ly beentemployed in making estimates. LettrzTs from Carniola, by way of Vienna, confirm the retreat of the Archduke CHARLES, and this Prince's dissatisfadion with all the measures hitherto adopted. lie has publicly declared against the Au strtan Ministry. It is even.said, that he has written to the Emperor his Brother, that he ought to arrest every one of his Ministers, and imprison them during the remainder of their lives, since to them he may attribute all the disasters of the Austriaft Monarchy. • We are also assured, that he had advised the .Etn .. . Em peror in the most pressing manner, : to conclude a se, prate Peace with Prance, since Austria can no long er confide in her Mies.; and this being the only IUC:Ui, left for obtaining tolerable conditions. It now 'remains to be seen, whether this advice of the Arch duke CITARL,ES, diaated by sound policy, Will be at tended to' by the Emperor. In other respects; the Archduk'e is very severe in his discipline; he lately cashiered a Colonel mthe head of his Regitnetit; for neglect of duty at the battle of Caldierd, on the 29th and 30,t'h of (Mober. , . , The French have organized a Italia Ilium the Danub, contisting . of a number of vessels, under Cart, 1,1.5 TA N E. the Letters from Milan con firm the inconceivable intelligence of the dabarka tion itt the Enklish and the Rusin at Naples, and the friiindly Manner of their reception.

This afternoon the Deputation returned,which was sent froM hence to the .French camp. Every.kind a security is promi,ed to the city, - The French Army, now before Vienna, have taken poit upon the Heights, and exteild from Clos tcr-Neuburgh, upon the Danube, as far as Ebers-- dad, &n. The troop; - are mostly encamped, in small detachments in front of the villages. • Prince Mull AT's head : quarters are , at Illittledorl, two leagues from this city This evening bread, wine, and meat, were Con veyed tium this city to the French Army ; a mea sure which is to be continued. For the preserva tion of the tranquillity of the interior, particularly in the night, numerous patroles. are employed.— , This,day the Magistrates published a Noticer.bear ing yesterday's date, in which the preservation of peace and tranquillity is very forcibly recommended but, in ea Se of any disturbance, places of rendez vous are pointed out, where, at a given signal, by sound of trumpet, the Citizens may assemble, there to take the arms - reserved for their use, and to await farther orders. It has been determined, that, till the French en ter the city in. a body, no individual of them shall be admitted., unless authorized by the Commander in Chief; so also, upon the part of the French Army, it has been signified to the Commandant of the City Guard, to koop a stria look,out, and to see that no Frenchinats pass the lines. One man of this description, however, being deteaed 'with out a certificate was made, prisoner, and ,delivered up to the French' Army, All the Vessels unon the Danube, between this city and Thun, have been scuttled, to prevent theta from being of any nse to the Enemy. . 'NOVEMBER 12.---Yesterday eyeeiog the Armis tice expired; still none of the French made their appearance. in the mean while the . barracks are prepared ,for them. Five hundred horses have been demanded for this evening's service, in removing etfeas. As forty French attempted, last night, to force their way into this city horn 4eichenfild, the Citi zens hive strengthened that post. Happily crvery. thing has remained quiet.. The great pressure of the people to the bakers' shops haying occasioned seine disturbance in the suburb of Alstergasce, the armed Citizens hastened to the spot, 'and, inclesing the front of the house in asernicircle, pOserved goOd order, admitting t h e people to pass and repass at' the extremities of their line. t 'Orson% Nivcre also employed to hand the bread to the customers, and to receive the money. These kind of tumults were now 'known. to be grounded upon mere alarm, as a sufficient quantity elf bread 1.4/3:-i to be had without difficulty every day. IlavEmsan 13.--Thia morning a Public Order L 0 NZ) 0 N, THURSDAY, DECIDER 19, 1805, 1. Tau Ilamlurgli Mail due yesterday arrived this morning, We rejoice to End that all the accounts from,the scene of . aaion concur in stating, that the Allies Were ultimitely vieforiouS. It appears that the battle, took place in thevicinity of the villages efSchlapowitz, 'Kumerowitz, and Chirnitz, near Turas. It lasted till night on the 2d inst. and was extremely bloody. It continued with Various fortune, and nothing decisive took place. The centre of the Allies was, as we haVe already stated, .defeated, in consequence of a body of RUssians missing their way, whilst the right. wing was vidorious. The Battle was, however; renewed on the ad, when the French were entirely defeated ; the Allies resumed their former position near Austerlitz, sand prepared to renew the attack 'on the 3th, Theloss in killed on both sidei was estimated at 20,000 men, The bravery and skill * displayed by the Emperor ALE*AN,DER, and the Russian Officers and Trceps, is spoken of in the highest terms. The ward given m the ggtip was' " ViEtory or Dcatli," Some doubts were suggested respe&ing the re, Butt of the Battle, as 'tared in the Btilletin issued.by Government, in conseclllellee of the want of detail and.the positions of the Armies not hein? nearly stated We are, now, howeVer, thorougidy.eon vinced that the' Viaory remitted withthe The whole is deg', conneeled statement, correbo• rated-by various account~ from the vicinity or the , of battle. .The position of the Allies clearly defined, .aa eyxaCtly coincides with that in which the last accounts previous to the Ac tion left them, as they had then advanced a little. beyond Austerlitz, the Enemy having re treated before them from the neighbourhood of Olmutz. In this position the Allies Were before and after the 11.tttle- r —a clear proof ,that the fortuzie of the day was with them. .They were preparing to attack the French again on the sth, and several reports have been circulated of another A6tion havjng been fought; in which the French were totally defeated, and that BONAPARTE was wounded and a prisoner.; - We have, .however, nu account yet of any secendnaion haling been fought . , altheugh there is little doubt that the Allies (you'd lose no tithe in renewing the attack; whilst the wench, dispirited by th.!ir losses, and the inns which affiirs had taken against them, would be still less able to make a stand with any'pro.spea ofsuccess. We are rather inclined to think that Borbsr.islera would endeavour to avoid 4no- . ther battle, and continue to retreat. We , are not, however without the most confident hopes that the Archduke CHARLES, coming up with a nunserous, a brave, and an unbroken Army, would soon place the French Army in a' situation'thuels more critical than any they have been in yet: From MASSENA'S remaining so long in the same position, the Archduke would have gained upon him near a fortnight in point 4:) . time ; and if he marched to Vienna, BODfBVARTY3 would be in imminent ha zard of having his retreat altogether cut oil unless he attempted a passage! through Bohemia, where he may probably meet with a Prussian Army; which' he could scarcely hopeto,overcome, and whose at tack he would find it difficultdiffiicult to avoid. • A Letter from Munich, of the '2d, states, thin *ASSENB was at Laybach, itt Carnioht, and T hat the Archduke CHARLES had reaehed Hungary, if so , the latter would probably form a junaion , with the .Allied Army. A Letter from Vienna, of the 3oth ult. states, the arrival there of Count IIAUGNAIITZ, 011 the 29111, and that a Prussian counsellorOf Legation had been ;tent from Use Count re Bo ±IBVARTE'I4 Head-quartert i with certain propositions.. it is clear, however., from subsequent events; that these . propositions baa effe4t in stopping the-progress of 'hostilities. The Hamburghletter states, that the French had no been compelled to retreat towards Viebna. For several other interesting articles of intelli gence, we refer our iteadersto the details thernselves. TILE above is the amount of the intelligence brought by the Hamburgh Mail; in addition to which we have the satisfa6uion to state, that the ac- counts received this Morning by Governtnent are of the most satisfactory nature. The battle which coin menced on the Rd was renewed on the ad, and was contknued on the 4th. On the 2d, as we have already stated, the e centre of the French was successful; they attacked the centre 9f the Allied Army before . it was completely formed, with so much iinpetuosi ty, that,the latter could not recover therriselvei, not withstanding the unexampled exertions of the Em peror ALEXANDiR and the French succeeded in taking 4 comiclerablo number of Prisoners, and the greater part of the Russian Artillery. - On the ad the 'Army again attacked the French, and the Rattle lasted the whole of that day, With a degree of obstinacy 'unparalleled in the annals of history. On the 4th the Battle was again renewed, and at .10gth terminated in favour of the Allies. The French, after making prodigious exertions, which appeared to be dictated by desperation, were at length compelled to give way on every side, and were driven behind the Siliwartz. No accurate account has yet been received of the loss which they stistained, but it unlit have been iintneuse,Ticht the unprecedented length and obstinacy of the aelion, and from the circumstance of the greater part of it having been fought with the bayonet, for the Russians having on' the d lost a great part of their Artillery, en the subseqUent (Jaya relied almost entirely on the Bayo. net: The success of the Allies was so decisive on the 4th, that they reldok the whole of the Artil lery which had been taken on the Qd, and a con siderable number of Prisoners. The skill 2rli personal bravery of the Egruttou Ai..r.x.ANntut during the whole of this most obstinate and perse- verit% Confiia, tire stated to be beyond all praise.— He was continually. in the thickest and hqtiest part of the Battle, encouraging bit men with h;s. voice, and animating them by his example. lie repeated, ly called ottt " \Wary or death !" and his heroic conducl inspired his men with an enthusiasm which nothing could withstand. The official details of this most Important Victory have not yet reached Government, but we have no doubt that they will arrive this 414.

One o r , , them we believe is from Mr. idarrrox, of Ham burzb, to whom the Messenger communicated the stibstance of . the above intelligence. THE Batavian State Gazette, of the 14th (tl4e only one, we believe, in Town), is in the Pte' session of (loverninent ; it snitei„ that on the 13th Gen.
