It THE SUN. SOLEIL QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT? LdNDON, WEDNESDAY,. NOVMI3II, 12, 1806. WE have this day resumed our EktraCts from the 11ainburgh, Mail which arrived,yesterday. We are still left in a great degree.of, uncertainty respecting the .fate of different Corps of the Prussian Army which were endeavouring to effeCt their retreat to the Oder. With Tespea . to the main body, under Prince I-lonENLopE, there are two contradiEtory accounts : it is ,stated-in the Hatnburgh Paper of the 4th, that his Ai:my had been completely routed, and that he / himself .was 'taken, prisoner. The Correspondenten of the sth, however, contradicts theTeport of Prince ,HomiNLokia hav;ug been taken prisoner. We trust that.the ,latter account will prove correa, though it is - probable that if the Prince has been able to male "good his retreat, it was with considerable loss. With respe& to the Corps of which the Duke of SA'-"c•E WEr i Lka had the command, we also are left in considerable doubt. The accounts merely state; that .the Duke, had resicrued his command to General VON WINDUNG, and that the. latter 44 had several engagements with the Frough, the result of which w r is not Li:own. We fear, however, that thew or noli,opes of this Corps being able to - effeet its retreat to the .War; for it had only. feachecl Wilstock the.2Bt - r, andno that day tht French were expeel ed at Stettin. Indeed it is sated, that the Pieria `entered Stettin on the 29th ; but it is hardly to be believed that a place so capable of defence, and hav ing so large a A garrison, sl.lould have surrendered on the first summons ; yet the events of the last and the present Campaign have taught us, that it is not always. safe to argue upon probabilities in Military affairs. By the rapid and iine,xpeEled advance of the Frenoh,the Swedish troops Which were in . Lauenburgh_ were in great danger of being cut off. Thp Frence had got between them and Swedish Pomerania, and they s were too fey in number (not above •1400) " to attempt to fight: their way. It became necessary;, therefore, that they should endeavour to effeEt their retreat by'.sea : accordingly they entered Lubeck by force, with the intention of embarking for Stralsund, which the Frcpch Dave also declared : in a state of siege. Such are the details of the military Operations. brought by the Hamburgh Mail ; and it is difficult to conceive a more gloomy prospe& than that which they present. The arrival of the . ' Russians may,: and, we trust, will, not only stop the progress of the French, but enable the Prussians to recover aorpe of the ground which they have lost. 'lt is , said that 50,000 Russians have arrived at Pcisen : it is hardly necessary to state, ,that this is an absurd elcaggera tion. We have reason to believe that the first Rns sian Army which was ordered to the assistance of Prussia did not exceed Op* men. If they have arrived at or near. the scene of aaion, the fate of the. campaign may yet bi- changed. They would form a rallying point for the different Prus sian Corps which now appear to be wandering about without any certain point of retreat, and they would compel the French to concentrate'a con .siderable. part of their Army to 'resist so formidable a Force. It is positively asserted, that,the only Con dition on which the EMPEROR of RusstA con sented/to engage in the War, was ; that Prus sia would not make Peace under any cir- 7 cumstances without his consent., If this be..true (and after the experience of last year it is highly prcbablethat the Emperor would insist upon such a stipulation), there can be no doubt that lie will assist Prussia with the whole dispOseable fbrce of ' his Empire. It is deeply to be' regretted, that at such a crisis Austria should remain a quiet speaator of events,'which, in their consequences, will , be al most as injurious to her as they are at present to Prussia.. The Archduke CUARLES has. au Army of nearly one hundred thouiand men in Bohemia if they were to place themselves in the rear of the French, while the Rusiians 'are advancing in front, the French Army would be in a most perilous situa tion ; but we fear the opportunity, like the One which the of: ItUSS . I..t had last year, will be lost. The last accounts of MIRANDA 'have not been correctly stated : finding that he had not sufficient strength to push ,his advantages, but not in eon, .sequence of any defeat, he retired to . a neighboUring Island, and, receiving a dispatch from Trinidad, he returned- to thnt place. This .want of sufficient strength. had enabled the Spanish Government to cut off his intercourse with the natives, who are heartily attached to his cause, tut who are not strong enough to throw Off their. present odious bondage.— If MIRANDA should gain a reinforcement, and re new the attack, there can . be little doubt of mate success. The Natives had been driven' OP the Country, in order to prevent them from.giving any assistance to MIRANDA, .and the town of Coro was quite deserted; Their Royal Highnesses the DUXES of YORK and CAMERIDd . E left town yest,erday morning, on a shoot ing party at the Duke of NOLTHUMBERLAND'S seat, Sion House. There was a Council yesterday, and in the even ing dispatches were sent off to the Continent. Admiral Sir bum \VARREN is arrived in town, and yesterday had an interview with the Board of Admiralty. A Vessel has arrived from Cadiz, which left that, port on the 25th of O&ober. Letters have been re ceived by this conveyance, which state, that' the Spa; pith Gmernment has declared the country in danger, and it was resolved' to raise an additional force of 150,000 men. Of this Cadiz was to furnish 1000 infantry; or 500 cavalry. The objea of this ex traordinary armament has given rise to much cop jetiure. Yesterday a Board of Trade was held at the Of fice, which was attended by Lords AUCKLAND and HENLEY; Messrs. WICKHAM and Mr. VAN SITTART. A number of West . India Merchants attended the Board, which .sat, from eleven o'clock till twelve, . . Yesterday Mr. THORNTON and Sir THOMAS-TUR TON, the successful Candidates'for the Borough, were chaired through the - principal streets, • St. George's.

The chairs were superbly decorated, and-'a i'lember of ribands were sported on. the oceasi.on.• The joyous party retired lo th.e*orns, at Kenning,. tan, where a sumptuous dinner was prepared, and the evening , concluded with tll7 utmost hilarity and goc humour consists of 1000 grenadiers and 240 'cavalry, allyery ,fine troops. Colonel IStIgRIAN lad the day before sent to require a pas Sage through the town, which, with an appeal to ow - nentfality - , W.l. refused. 1-'he Svvdes; on tlieir arrival', made a bait for a few, .liours: before the town.

In consequence of this. General MEZZANELLI ordered the Village 'to be. surrounded . and burnt down by three cotripanies of, Infantry, -and a squadron,' of Cavalry, under the "othmand of Major Lk RociiFi. /-14kAsuz, Nov. 1.-L-The Prussian and IjanoVe rian territories in Westphalia will be only .taken possession of for the purpose of- being incorporated with the Kingdom of.
