MAILS. AltltiVtb-i Dublin, z Waterfont Duz—t Gottenbulgh, 3 Dublin. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT TWIELVIL O'CLOCK. Consols - 6oi THE SUN. soLLM SLUIS DIC&Itt FALS.,OI4 AUDEAT ? LONDON, TUESDkY, NOVEMBER 19, 1805. We have not yet received any Intelligence re speeting the intended attack on the Flotilla at Bou logne. Sir SZDNirf Surrif s Squadron was seen from Dove Heights about noon yesterday, without the Varn Sand, steering, for Boulogne, which was about eight miles distant, The Enemy's Flotilla were said to be out in great strength. Our Dover Letter mentions, that between 1:10 and 200 were distinctly counted on Sunday. The attack was ex , peeted to be made yesterday evening. No intelligence reached town this morning from any part of the Continent. At the time of the last accounts from Berlin, Lord HARROWBY had not reached that Capital, and until some Dispatches are received from his Lordship, we must remain in some degree of doubt with respect to the final determina tion bf his PRUSSIAO MAJESTY. It is generally believed that the Propositions which Count HAUG WITZ is instru&ed to make to BONAPARTE, have for their objea the restoration of Peace, upon such a fair and equitable basis, as will afford to Europe a progpeft of future tranquillity and lade pendence. If BONAPARTE should refuse to listen to those Propositions, there is, we think. very little reason to doubt that His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY Will adopt such decisive measures as his hoiaour and the safety of his Dominions require. The late hour at which we received the Mails yesterday prevented us from inserting the whole of their contents. We have tills day resumed our Extra&s, which will be found in the subsequent Co lumns. When the French Official Accounts were re. reived of the total destruftion, the annihilation, of the Austrian Army, the statements appeared to us so incredible, that we repeatedly cautioned our Readers not to believe then, at least to their full extent. The details which we have since received, even from the French themselves, completely jus7. tify our scepticism upon ,that subject. IThe Arch duke IreabitiAND, who was said to have escaPed, almost alone, it no* appears is at the head of' a Force Of 17,000 men, a part of this an pihilated Army. The Corps under the command of General JELL4clllctl, which formed a 'considerable Division of . General MACK'S Army, it is well known, was not taken, and is .now employed in Olive operations against the French ; and by the Mail which arrived yesterday we find another large Corps, consisting of 1 a or 16,000 men, under the command' ef Gen. Wo L vs.tc.unt,, - advancing almost as far as 01m, threatening the French positions, and intercepting their Convoys and Reinforcements. — After dete&ing such gross and palpable falsehoods In the French Official Details, we cannot be blamed if we look for stronger evidence than the positive as sertion of an Imperialßulletin before we give full credit to the pompous details of French Vitiories.—That 13d.)NapAitTg has hitherto been succeiSfial beyond all example, even after making considerable deductions from the French accounts, we are ready to admit; but ihat the fate of the \Var is decided, or that there is any reason for despondency, we deny. BONAPARTE is now at an immense distance from his own territo ries; every step he advances removes him further from the supplies and reinforcements which he him self acknowledges that he wants ; while the Com bined Armies.are continually increasing in numbers. Very considerable Austrian Corps have pppeared in the rear of the French Army in Bavaria, and the reinforcement from Italy' under the Archduke eta Rl.Efr will place his Right Wing in a most dan 4erons situation.,--Puder these circumstances, . if B oNAFA RTE should sustain defeat, Na whole Army will be exposed to almost inevitable flestruaion ; and it 'appears' to be the c leterminatic.n of the Aus trian and Russian Commanders not iO'fialc a Battle rtil they can engage with every rational prosped Of success.

NA VAL NEWS. Dovu, Nov. Is..—The Expedition under Sir SIDNEY SMITH sailed from our Road between nine and ten o'clock last night. It consisted of the -Inte lope, bearing Sir SIDNEY'S Flag, and Sloops of War, Praams, Gun-brigs, and Bombs, amounting in num ber to about thirty-four. They were seen from our Heights about noon to-day, without the Varn Saud, steering towards Boulogne, which was about eight miles distant. The Enemy's Flotilla is out in great strength :—it is said by some of our sea-faring people that between 150 and 200 were distindly counted yesterday. The grand attack is expeded to be made this evening, and as the wind sets dire& from Bou logne, we exped to hear a tremendous cannonading. PLYMOUTIT, Nov. 17. —Came in the Anna Maria; J.,futowt, from Malaga, detained by the Hero Pri vateer ; New Providence, BORNS, and the Mary Ann, GALsworrilY,lrom NewfOundland. 'rue gallant Captain MUDGE, late of La Blanche, 32 guns, Capitnied by a superior French Squadron, off Barbadoes, is arrived from town to take com mand of the Phernix, 44, Capt. BAKER, when she arrives here ; as the Lords of the Admiralty have settled that the brave Captain BAKER is to have his well-earned prize La Didon, 48' guns, fitting for sea in Hamoaze. Captain MIDGE is to take the Phwnix, with her Officeri and Ship's Company. • This week the different gangs of Shipwrights which were at work Planking the Union, 110, nqw building in this Dock-yard, 'were taken off by order of the Navy Board; to complete the mast-yard to its full establishment of lower and topmasts, for ist, 2d, and ad rates, particularly as there are so many Line of Battle Ships, prizes here, both French and Spanish, that will soon be ordered into dock to be repaired and fitted for sea: also .for the purpose of having new masts ready for our Ships whose lower masts were carried away, or so badly wounded, in the glorious victory. off Trefalgar, as to be unfit for present service. Rear-Admiral Sir R, STRACII4N, Bart, in conse quence of the glorious Vietory of the 4th inst. off Cape Ortega!, in which he captured all the French Squadron opposed to him, has given (with the respec tive Captains of his little gallant Fleet) leave for 100 Seamen and Royal Marines from each Ship to go on shore to recreate themselVes during their stay in port, for 48 hours, and when returned on board their re speaive Ships, another set is to go on shore for the same purpose., The first party came on shore Friday and yesterday, and behaved in their usual eccentric stile, having hackney-eoache l with which they form in the streets lines of battle, as they call it, and then break the line, by making the coachmen turn suddenly, by displaying the signal of a . red handker chief, down some narrow street, hureiaing the whole way ;. but all is in perfea good humour ; and to their honour, as British Seamen, each man has a knot of love crape ribbon fastened above his left elbow, as mourning for their late beloved Hero, Vice-Admiral Lord NRLSON.

The Hero of this Piece, Tristram Whim, as his name im ports, is an unsteady yo un g mail who has displayed in turn a p:artiality to so many pursuits and professions that he has quate exhausted the atience of bis father. At length,,ort tke opening of the Farcc, he has determined upon following the law, very much to the gratification of his father, who, in the hope tbat Tristram nnght finally decide for the Bar, had induced his friend Brief-Wit to give the young Gentle man proper instruttions. In a very short time, however. Tristrarn renounces the law, and turns Soldier, ACtor, Gardener, Quaker, Bond-street Beau, &c. hut at length the Weathercock ultimately rests at the point of matrimony. The Lady who fixes this veering spark is Varietta, by' whom he had been captivated at a Masquerade where 00 10 appeared as a Savoyard. She thinks him worth reforiniqw and resumed her masquerade dress to sec if his tiedged at' tactiment continues. He is struck with her beauty, and vows perpetual constancy. She then appears as a uaker* and looks so interesting in her plain simplicity, that he re solves to be a Quaker too, in order to secure liir regard. fi nally, she appears in her proper character, as a young LadY of fortune, the Ward ot Brief-Wit, and the person With his rather wished hint to marry. , The Piece then concludes with hicdetermination to adhere at least to the chargler of a good husband. the late ARTHUR MußrnY, a charaaer introduced by Dr. jOIINSON ill .1) ( $ The part of Tristtam was orig inally derived from Rambler, under the name of Pu/yphilo . 1-14 °len ' - it to his Comedy of Know Your Oren Yliud, confin ing the hero, however, to a change of mistresse.s i.ii.; stead of a change of professions.
