LONDON, FRIDAY, 'NOVEMBER 7, .1806 k • rapid adyance of the French Armies has so .csompletely stopped up the usual channels of in telligence, that, uotwithstanditl the arrival of the llemburgh Mail, we remain in the same state of gncertainty with respecl to the condition of the Prus, siatL Armies ; and we fear that for some time to . . come,we shall only receive intelligence through the -medium of..theJ.rench and Dutch Papers. Serious • apprehensions are entertained, that the Corps under the Dukes of Baugs-wicx oEts, and WEIMAR, Whigh was endeavouring to effeEt its retreat towards the Oder, would be cut off ; There can be no doubt •that,as the French entered Berlin on the 24th, and the Prussians did not cross the Elbe at Havelburgh t ill the itGth, the former would have been in time to cut off their retreat ; but it it be • true . that , the Troops under the Dukes of BRUNSWICK. and WR'.I.IAR amount to Thirty Thousand men, ' we very much doubt whether.the. French are in Suf . ficient force, at Berlin to cut them off; at least it is hardly :possible that they should have had such a, decided superiority as would render it ' im pos,sible for the Prassiens• to fight their way through. With respea tO . the Propositions which the KING of Piussl4 is said to hare made to BONAPARTE for • Peace, we haVe no information except thdt which is - de . . - ived from private Letters.

LEIPSIO, OCT. 20.—The Gazette of this place contains. an account of 'the French victories, in which there are the following statements : " On the 'l4th two great battles took place; one near Jena, and the other at Hassenhausen, on the road between _Naumhurgh and Weimar. The re sat of the battle of Jena was 100 pieces of cannon and 20,000 prisoners, of whem 10,000 were Sax ons. At Hassenhausen, the King of Prussia in per son, at the' head 100,000 select troops, and 150 pieces of cannon, attacked a corps of 25,000 French. The contest was obstinate. The Prussians , advanced updn the French corps, which, immovable as a granite rock, withstood the. shock. The former 'were completely defeated, and left on the field of battle the whole of their Artillery, and thousands of killed : on this occasion a great nuMber of Gene rals of rank were wounded. On the day after, the 15th, 20,000 men 'and 11 Generals, among whom .was the wounded General MoLLENDORFF, were made .prisoners at Erfurth. Since that time thou sands of prisoners arc daily brought in from the Prussian Army, of 'which one-third has been de- - stroyed or taken, and the remainder is ,completely dispersed. On the 17th, the corps - commanded by Prince EUGENE of WIRTY.MBURGH was defeated with great loss at Halle. This campaign must therefore be considered as already concluded, and nothing now is necessary but some marches to se cure ail its results. The last campaign against the Austrians was terminated in . six weeks—but the Great NAPOLEON has commenced .and completed the present campaign within a period of eight days. The ten thousand Saxons have been. sent home on their parole of honour, and not to serve during the present war. The Emperor assemb led all the Saxon • Officers, and declared to.thetn, that he did not wish to wage war against their country ; on.the contrary, he wished to see the Electoral House more flourish ing than ever, if their Sovereign would break a Treaty which /twee only had , compelled him to sign. Nothing now is wanting but the arrival of the sub sidies, the extraordinary embassies, and the Eng lish auxiliary troops, to afford to the FrenCh new sources of fortune and lame. When the English Merchants are informed'that the French have enter ed Leipsic, how will their Exchange tremble. Then will the bankruptcies begin. The Merchants and Traders who have English rnanufaatures in their pessession—the Bankers who have the charge,. of English funds,' need not think of concealing *in —the French know to, a penny the , amount and value of every kind of English property, N el lt ojr ,funds Pr , 0045.) whit was at IPESTIIIINSTEI? ELLTI7OIIr. Yesterday, being the fourth thy of the We tmitt ster Eledlion, the,coalition formed on the preced ing evening between the friends of Sir SAMUEL HOOD and Mr. SHERIDAN, produced a very active - poll indeed an behalf of those ,Gentlemen. Large parties of Electors came up to the, hustings in. different bodies, froM varitins parishes, led on by Naval Officers, bearing the banners!of Sir SAMUEL HOOD, accompanied by parties of Seamen wearing Sir SAMUEL'S cockades, and,bearing laurel branches in their hands, vociferating - Hoodfor ever!, and pre , ceded by fifes and drnms, playing "Hearts of Oak," -r and " Rule Britannia :" whilst, at the other end: of - the scene, parties -of Mr. SHERIDAN'S friends were preceded by a posse of Hibernians from the pur liens of St. Giles's, armed with cudgels, roaring Sheridan fir ever ! and speedily clearing their way through the multitude, who fled on all sides to evoid the a&ive operation of their weapons. Nor was pageantry wanting to give stage effect to the performance ; forethe last mentioned escqrt usher- , ed before the hustings a banner-bearer, carry ing at the top of •a long pole a' cabbage, surmount- • ed by a smoothing iron,. such as, is ,generally used by tailors. Next followed a man dressed in the character of an ape, borne upon a board, and.. sira-rounded by the professional implements of . a tailor ; and, lastly; came a man attired in the revolutionary costume of •French democracy, wear ing a huge hat, ludicrously adorned with the cockades and inscriptiOns of Mr. Paull ; bearing in one hand a truncheon, inscribed " Liberty, protec tion, and peace ;" waving, with the other, one of • Mr. Paull's printed bills; praaising attitudes of . conciliation and complaisance to the multitude in his front, , while at his back he bore all the emblems of cunning, cruelty, and tyranny. The crowd was much more numerous, end the 'tumult much greater, than on any day since the Election commenced ; at one time, indeed, there were strong apprehensions of a general riot. On the close of the Poll, at four o'clock, the numbers for the Candidates stood thus For Mr. PAULL 2 i43 Sir SAMUEL Hoop, 1957 - SPLARIDAN 1332 Mr. PETER Moose, on .behalf of his Right Han, Friend, Mr. Sheridan, was the first to address the people. He said, the issue of this day's poll had gone a great way to verify his prediaions of yester n day, and to prove that the spirit and good sense of the respectable and independent inhabitants of Westminster was not extinguished. 'The exertions of this day had coesiderably, dimmed the short lived lustre of the satellite of Sir Francis Burdett ; another day of similar energy, would, he hoped, entirely put out his light. What, did Mr. Vann him,. self tell the Eleaors yesterday ? Why;that any Por ter in Westminster, who should become a Candi date for its representation, might command 3000 votes, if he would but give porter enough to the rabble. From his success hitherto, it would appear, that he had tried the experiment. His porter, how ever, was not yet exhausted ; but by the time he had expended that, and polled his 30Q0 votes, it would be seen with what' degree of probability 'ale was likely to succeed in the 'contest. 'Two days ago the little Candidate came to the Hustings, ac companied by his Aid-de-Camp, Colonel Fullerton, who, he expe&ed, would materially aid his cause, by calumniating the gallant Admiral with whorn he contended. But what was now become of Fel-. larton After trying two days, in ,vain, to propa gate his calumnies, he was sequted by the voice of popular indignatiOn. Mr. Paull found it ne cessary to disclaim his acquaintance ; and the mo.! meat he was disclaimed, he vanished, to appear no more. This was the first day in which the' zeal cf his supporters was really manifesed for his "tight Hon. Friend. Tt was never before in a state of activity; and the result now proved, that the ma liance he had hitherto expressed was fully jiastified: Yesterday Mr. Paull polled two for his one : day. his Right lion. Friend polled as many as hiS antagonist. To-morrow he hoped to double his numbers ; and when alt the Gentleman's porter was exhaused, the little Satellite would find his light completely extinguished. Mr. Moore conducied by returning sincere thanks to the Electors, in the name of his Right Hon. Friend; intreating them to redouble their exertions in his cause, and expressing his hope, that before the close of the Week the cm - test would be decided. Sir SAMUEL HOOD again begged leave to express his sincere thanks to the Electors, for the very handsome manner in which they had, this day; continued to honour him with their support ; and he expressed his confidence, that by a continuance of the same energies for a day or "two longer, the Poll would be decided in his t7.lvoer. The Elec-, tors must be mindful of the calUmnies attempt ed against him, in order to prejudice their minds. Those calumnies were attempted by a man who came forward as the friend of Mr. Paull. This day, however, Mr. Paull had, in addition to his declare, tion of yesterday, personally disclaimed to him all connexion with Colonel Fullerton and, therefore, he must acquit Mr. Paull of any privity to so base a purpose. He declined trespassing farther on the at tention of his friends, than' to request from them an aetive perseverance in the zeal they had this day so generously evinced for his support. Mr. PAULL was so overpowered by the clamours of the populace, that we could scarcely hear a word, He said, the success of this day would have been complete, if .it had not been for what he called the abominable and infamous Coalition between Mr. Sheridan and Sir S. Hood, We should be happy to detail the Candidate's• speech, but as he was ha- , ranguing at one end of the Hustings, and Mr. Shaw at the other, with the mob , vociferating in,front, it was impossible to collect the substance of what he said. He censtired Mr. Sheridan for having em ployed professed Bruizers to deter theEleaors, and. remarked, that his opponents had exhibited the first eels of Robin Hood and the Forty Thieves. He ex pressed his certainty of defeating the schemes of Go vernment to deprive the Electors, of the object of their free choice. The Countess of BtSBOROUGH was canvassing for Mr. SHERIPAN yesterday. • , Mr. JonnsToNc, of Drury - lane Theatre , received jeirerday an anonymous letter, stating that he should be murdered'if he made his appea . rance on the hust-! ingg this day. •
