THE ft AAIBUROII MAILS. VIENNA, Dl:c.-24. SINCE the arrival of the •ARcuntnci CHARLES at the Army of the - Danube, the Correspondence between the Hdad-Quarteri and the Cabinet and Council of War is' become more alive thin ever. Several Officers of the Staff and most distill_ guished Generals, have successively appeared be fore the EMPEROR ) to render him an..account 'of the situation of affairs, conformably to the ordeis Of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES. G►en. DEVEAyX, who appeared at Court on the morning of the 2 zd, reported, that the Imperialists,had been obliged to abandon ;Velz on the t9th, and to transport their Head-quarters to Krems-Munster; .in Consequence' of this retrograde movement, the capital of Upper. Austria would also have been abandoned, but we are assured that there was time to save the Maga zines. Orders have been given by the Council of War to 'establish the grand bake-house at St. Polten.. • These measures. occasioned much uneasiness ; bqt the agitation increased considerably, when on the - evening of the 22d, after the arrival of an Officer dispatched by the ARCHDUKE CH Aitias, a Conference of State was' held & in which' different resolutions were taken, - •as well for the defence of Lower Austria and the Capital t. as for the safety of the Imperial Family and the Princes and Prince,ssts that were here. Thesame evening we learnt that' the Qv EEN of NAPLES and, her children were ring to , set out for Moravia ; that the Ai;on. • DUTCIiESS MAXI-ELIZABETH - WOUld follow: immediately, as well as th:e ARtIIDUKE FERDI NAND of Milan; the. 13,Ltc-rok of COLOGNE would repair to Vifergo,theik; the, GRANT saUTCHESS Of TUSCANY to Buda, 'Whither also the young ARCHDUKES would go, excepting the ARCHDUXE ANTHONY ; and that Their 'ID , perial and Royal MAJESTIES, titMIAND _Dui< E of TUSCANY, and Duke MAIER.' city SAXE TESCHEN, would remain at Vienna till the last extremity.

We hope, says a Paper of this rnorning, \ this happy news is true, and that it will be' confirmed to-morrow. How is this news so happy, if Peace was certain without this effusion of blood ?—:-Since the conclusion 'of the last Armistice by MOR EAU 210 dOUbt can be en tertained that Peace be concluded. A'battle is always a wound to Humiinity—but when it is useless, when it eontributes 'neither to the Glory nor Security of a Nation, nothing remains to the COtiqueror but to weep for his success. g If any thing can reConcile the mind of a Philo sopher.to the - effusion of human blood,' said a Le gislator lately to the Chief Consul," it is when Courage is not commanded by Ambition, and when battles are only fought for the tranquillity of the World."

W. which continued all that night and the whole of Monday. In town a deal of damage was done to the roofs of hoases, &c. and a stack of chimnies belonging to -a house in the Castlehill was blown down, and falling upon the roof, it forced its way through one floor, and came with a dreadful crash into the second, , where several men were at work, all of whom happily escaped, except one, who unfortunately was much bruised, and- lies dangerouily ill. In the different streets and lanes of the City; several people were hurt by the falling of Lyles, brick bats, &c. but we are. happy to say, that so far as we learn, no person has been seriously injured. Some ,Vessels in Leith Roads had great difficulty in riding out the storm. After dragging their anchors a considerable way, one was forced to cut away her masts, an d s i gna l s o f di stress were flying the whole of Monday, but no assistance could be given... We arc, !towel, er, happy to learn, that what we have now stated, is all the damage they have sustained. We are. appre_ hensive of'oaelancholy tidings from the Western Coast. At. Glasgow a great many chimney tops suffer ed from .the severity of the gale. One of the oldest trees' in the green, and the temporary wooden building in Ingram -street, containing the Panorama of the burning of the Boyne, were blown down. Saturday lasi, about two o'clock P. M. as the long boat belonging to an American Ship, riding in Leith Roads, was on the passage for the Harbour, with the Captain, Mate, two Sail. ors, an Excise and .

The Cue tem.house Officer, who has bin one, hand, was driven a considerable distance from the boat, to which,. with her keel uppermost, the other tive clung. . Captain Slits Ls of the Safeguard, Gun. boas, then in the Roads, observing the accident, immediately manned his boat, and. sent her to their assistance, and she soon dame up with, the persona who had got on the' keel. The Captain, how ever, called out to them to go and save the old.,mao,at a-distance in the first place, who pro videntially laid ,hold of an oar that was passing him. They did so, and ..afterwards returned to the boat, and brought the whole six saafe into lAth. From Leith we hear, that a Red-herring house has been stopped- from going on, in curing, by an interdict from the,Court of Session, ,on corn. plaint of its 'being a nuisance, on the 3d of this month.

Robert Tbotinto t t, the 'driver of a cart, was indieted.for assaulting Captain Durnford. It appeared from the evidence, that Captain' Durnford was driving a one-horse chaise some. where near Kilburn, when he perceived the De. fendant about two hundred yards before his cart, and the cart on the wrong side of the roati.--- Apprehensive of danger in attempting to, pass the cart, he, whipped one of the horses, in or; der to turn it the right side ; tbe Defendant ran up, and not only prevented the design . of `the - Prosecutor, but made use of a deal of impro. per and v i o l ent l an gu a g e towar d s him. Upon this Captain Durnford got out of his chai se to take the numbe r o f t h e cart, but the Defendant elbowed him, kept him at bay, and obliterated„ the number with mud. The Captain persisted in knowing to whom the tart belonged, and fol. lowed `it into, a field into which the Defendant droVc it. Here the Delendant struck the Cap. tain, who retorted with such agility and dexter ty, that his adversary was, in the twinkling of an eye, hill prostrate in a ditch. He stood over his fallen and vansuislied foe, and swore he O l otti t t never rise, unless 'he told him to whom the cart belonged. At this moment the Captain looked round, and saw two men approaching with pick. axes and shovels ; he concluded they had come prepared not only to dispatch, but to bury him nfterwards. Attuated by this impression, hit ran to his chaise, and seizing hi s swor d, returned, to the field, 'W'ith this weapon he kept his three 'opponents, at arm's length, and at last succeeded in discovcring that a lions:: at a short t2,nce front the field was occupied t the owner of the cart. He appli i ed to the Magistrate s at Ilow.street, Who spr;trned the Defendant., and not only fined him for refusin g to let his number be tak.en, but recommended the present Prosecu. tint% The faEts being clearly proxed, the De; 1 - .l,dant's - Counsel, Mr. CorrsT, had little else to . urge,'but, that; contr a ry to every prmciple of English Law, the Defendant had .been already twice 'punished : he had not only hcen fined by the Magistrates, but had been soundly threshed by the Prosecutor ; and, coirsequently, ,that a further punishment would be the extreme of se'erity. Tile CH AI R MAN observed, that the Public were much obliged to Capt. Durtiford for instituting this prosecution. He hoped it ,would.be a warn ing to persons who drove carts; not to prevent their numbers being taken, whether they were conscious of bluing, acted impropeily or not. The Sentence of the Court was, that the Defen.. dant should be imprisoned one month.. PUBLIC 7 OFFICE, to . L. N-HAt.l.

There were some circumstances erroneously stated in the account of the unfortunate affair, in consequence of which Mr. Shore, a respeaahle farmer, has been committed on a charge of mur_ dering his wife. It is not true that Mr. Shore attempted to mike his escape ; neither is the ser vant maid's arm broke, nor has he sustained any injury whatever.
