Villages of Schlapowitz, 4 merowitz,and Chirnitz, not far from Turas,whic h lasted till to-day at noon, and was extremely bloody. The issue is still undecided, and all the accounts re ceived here rest on mere reports, Oir Fortress,, in the mean time, has been put into a state to stand a si ege, and theßoyal Family, have removed toTeschen . The two Emperors.are with the Army. We wait for more circumstantial particulars. . P. S. According to later accounts, the battle has at last been decided in favour of the' Russian and Austrian Army, with whom the vi&ory.remain. BERLIN, DEC. 9.—ln the course of yesterday and the preceding day several Couriers arrived herewith dispatches relative to the great battle fought in Mo -1'4,4 on the 2cl and 3d inst. between the Russian and, perch Armies. But as the accounts received rest cillY on verbal reports, we have nothing certain : on the subject, except that a. very murderous Battle bas taken place, and that the Emperor ALLiaNnun fought with indescribable courage at the head of his . %ards. Thi s great M onarc h did d ot spare himself, ta lea .on his brave soldiers the hottest of the fire. On the first d a y the Battle was extremely bloody, The Russians had missed their way, by which eir-, ounstance the French profited, and fell on the Ilus' sian centre, which they threw into disorder ; and, ° the Battle continued with various success till night. On the fnllowing morning the Battle was renew ed; the Russian Left Wing pressed on with inde scribable bravery : the French were entirely defeat ed, and the Russians returned to their former posi tkat near Ansterlitz; The loss in killed on both sides is estimated at 20,000 men.'

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 7. -L-The Royal FAMILY, the e• 'Pita], and the whole kingdom, is plunged into t he most profound grief. it has pleased Providence to take from us this day His Royal Highness the 41ERRI)ITARY PIIINCE.—This melancholy event was litleounced by the tolling of all the bells in the City.

A Letter -:2 11) Berlin, dated the 9th, received here by Esta 'le, informs us, that the 'Battle Lead Ora days and a kill. fortune seemed in the' beginning of it to be in favour of the French, the Russians hav ing lost a' part of:, their artillery ; .but on .the 4th, 'she . declared complptely for the. Russians, who fought only with the bayonet and sabre, ..and the French were 'forced to retreat upon Vienna. The enormous loss of men on both' sides is incredible. A person of the highest imPortance was, we are assured, in the greatest danger, and:was only saved by the' sacrifice of a part of his Body Guard,— Such is the first intelligence which We have re ceived; we expeei, with impatience, the official ac ,dounts.-.--(.46i11e du Nord) • DEC.

IN my last acquainted you that .a Battle Was said to have been fought betwixt the French and Reis sians in the neighbourhood of . 01muti, which did not turn out to be a fa& ; howeVer, it is how conti . dently affirmed, that a decisive and blOOdy engage ment had taken place, by, BrUnn, in which the French had been compittely defeated, and are no* retreating as fast as they advanced. This is the re port of the day, and seems to be substanOted by many corroborating circumstances hourly arriving from ditfbrent quarters, though I have not been able as yet to tram the date of the Engagernent, which is said to have kited three successive days, and that the Russians at first lost grotind, and a good many can non, but their persevering courage. overcame every obstacle, and turned the tide of vi&ory in their fd your, through the desperate etforts of the Heavy Ca valry, who aee reported to have performed prodigies Of Valdur. • The Bamberg Paper of yesterday mentioned, that an nation had happened, but did not state the result, which. the Editor of that Journal would not have failed to have done if it had answered his purpose. The licanturgli Correspandenten dare not take notice of it till it be mentioned from Berlin, and then the Editor may Ventura . to insert it. We have every other day one or more Battalions of Hanoverian Troops marching through this City into the Ele6tOrate. The number of Recruits is.really incredible. Sure I am the Battalion which passed here yesterday did not exceed4so rank and file, and the Recruits vvho had joined them since their arrival at Brernerlehe were not fewer than 300 finelellows, laughing and singing in the .rear of the Battalion. They all seem to be aCtuated by one heart, and that a grateful one, for the friendly reception and bene ficent attention shewn them by the British Govern ment, and the people at law, and I make no doubt they will prove themselves worthy of the favours they have received. No alteration in the cantonments of. the British since t wrote you last. .fie Non-commissioned and Privates of the Guards, who are quartered in our suburbs, continue to merit that esteem and respee.\ which their praise-wot:thy condua so justly entitle them. They are soon expe&ed in town, which I sincerely wish may be the case, for the inhabitants around are very poor. You have, probably,, heard, before now, that BONAPARTE has, by means of some of his inflam matory Emissaries, been . endeavouring to kindle a fire in Poland, and that a Correspondence has been found out, wherein he promises to send an Army of 200,000 Troops to their assistance as soon as Ile has II finished his business.in Germany. His PRIOSIAN MA ',TESTY is certainly 'aware of his plans, and no doubt in force to resist them ; however, Ican tell you as a fa&, that all the Poles who have been taken pri soners by the French Army in Germany .ave been immediately liberated, and sent to their native Country. THE THEATRV...---MISS SMITH made her first ap-i pearance last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, in the charaaer of Elvira. Coming so scion after the original - representative of this charaeler, she had an arduous task to perform, but she acquitted herself with a considerable degree of ability, and with great success. Her person also being so much less com manding than that of the great Aeiress alluded to; was an additional draw-back on her efforts, but she wAg, notwithstanding, very impressive, and rendered the charaater very prominent. There was no abate mem of merit or etfed in Kotatz's Rolla. C aves ,Seellls to have resigned the part of Pjzarro wholly to HAtiGRAVi; WilCi is always judicious.

Thus has the unwearied perseverance and , attention of those . great and good men, Sir Jostrtu BANKs, Lord Soisten- VILLE, and Dr. PARRY, under the fostering i e thi e n ce of our most gracious Sovereign,. with whom the in trOdualion of this invaluable 'breed of sheep first ori ginated, and by when' they are still preserved pure an&unntixed, demonstrated, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the possibility of producing in our. own Country wool equal, if not superior, to the very host piles from Spain. • His Prussian Majesty has been graciously pleased to write to his - Privy-Cknmsellor and' First Physician in ordinary, Dr. CHARLES. littowN, requesti,ng hint to attend him in case he should take the Field, and, at the same time, to accept the place of First Physi cian-General of his Army.
