f along the foot of the mountains, to the right of,tbe 'causeway, and were only composed of Infantry i the centre column was on the great road of Prosnitz ; the fourth to the left of this, and at a very litticdis tanc from it ; the fifth consisted of cavalry, and . was in vied of the fourth. This last had only he , ' fore it a level country." ' " The right wing, consisting of two columns, was commanded by General Buxxovnati ; the num,: ber of troops amounted to 19,740. The third, or centre column, under the com mand of the General In Chief KUTUZOW, consisted of 130300 men. . , " The left wing, under the command of the Ans trian Lieutcnant-General'Prince Joan of Lichten stein, was composed of two columns ; the total of which amounted to v 7,9030 men. " The reserve, under the command of, the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, consisted of 8,500. " The advanced guard, under Prince )3AGRA TIIION and General N. I ENM A YE a, consisted of 13,000; the total amounting to 82,040 men. • " The first column set out from Nebotin,and ad vanced to Bluemenau• and Kobiluozeck , , where it took 'up a position in two lines... `f The second column set out from Olschau, and marched to Studnetz and Ottaslowitz, where it supported its right by the left of the first coluenn. . " The third column marched on the great road of Prosnitz, and took up its alignments with the co lumns on its right. `f The fourth column' set out from Nedwriss, and . advanced to Wrabowitz and Dobrochow, where it took its positibn, and established its communication with the centre column. The fifth colunin set out from Schabelin, and marched to Kralitz, where it was posted in two lines. " This column, not being covered by advanced posts on the left, had ap advanced guard, com manded by General STUTTERHEIM, who kept up a commpnica - ion with the detachments who- observed the Marc). The Army advancedi.vith great precaution, be cause the movements of the Enemy were unknown. It had orders to refuse its left, and to gain ground on its right, in order to turn the left of the Enemy in case it should meet with it. The Corps of the Grand Duke marched to Prosnitz, wliere the two Emperors were at the .Elead,quarters, and formed the reserve. The Army arrived without any ob stacles at filo different points of formation, after a march of four hours. " It was then learnt that the Enemy had not made any movements, and that their advanced ward at Wischau bad been neither reinforced nor weakened, Preparations were therefore made to attack them next day, and General BAGRATHION received orders to execute this attack. At break pf day Prince BAGRATHION marched . with his ad vanced guard, and divided his troops into threeco- Aumns i that of the centre remained on the *apse way ; the two others, on the right and left, turned the town of Wischau, where the Enemy had one Regiment of Hussars, and one of Chasseurs. Two other Regiments of Cavalry were behind the town in reserve; and Gener'al SERASTIAiCI was at Kln boschau with one Regiment of Dragoons. When the Russians, and on their left the Cavalry of Gen. )(TENMAYER shewed themselves before WisChau,- and on the heights behind Brindlitz, the French Ca valry, with the exception of 100 horse, evacuated Wischau with precipitation. " Adjutant-General DOLGORUCKY took posses sion of this town with two Battalions of Infantry, and there made prisoners four Officers and one hun dred Soldiers. The Enemy's Cavalry received con siderable reinforcements on its retreat to Rausnitz, where they had a reserve. 'lmmediately four Squa drons of Russian Hussars, and two of Cossacs, pursued them ; afterwards all the Cavalry of prince BAGRATIIION, reinforced by. that of • the 'fourth column, commanded by Lieutenant-General ESSEN, who had under his command ten Squa drons of Hulans, five of Cuirassiers, .five of Dra goons, and eight of Cossacks, passed Wischau, and supported the attack of the advanced guard. To cover the right during this. movement, Prince BA GRATHION had received orders.. to send one Regi pient of Chasseurs, and one of Cavalry, on the right of Pussits, by Bustomitz, to Habrowan. This General advanced to the heights of Rausniti, where he Wok a position. The Enemy were still in this small town, and began a cannonade ; but the Rus- F.im-l' Artillery, more numerous' than their's, soon tnatie their fire cease.. In the evening two Rus sian Battalions took possession of Rausnitz, and their advanced posts were pushed forward. M. Da INIIENmAyEtt, who on his left had supported, with his Cavalry, the Russian advanced guard, took a Otretaicn to Drastr.vitz, and there established a o , mmunication with General BAGRATHION. On the 28th the _Army followed in .five columns, as on he 'evening before, the movement of its ad vanced guard, ,end marched in the following manner : " The first column advanced from Cobelnizeck to Luiscb, where it took a position, and placed six Battalions of Chaseurs and Infantry in the wood be tween Nemajan and Pistomertz. " The second column marched from Ottas lbwitz to Nosalpwitz, where it formed the second ..„ line. The third marched as before, on the cause way, to a height above Noska'; one brigade placed itself in' the first line, and the two Others- in. the *second. ‘! The fourth column marched from Dobrochow to. the height of Noska,-.where two Regiments plated theinielves in line with the first, and two others with the 'second line. The Austrian infan try of this column were posted in two lines to the kit Of the Rus'sißns. - The fifth column advanced, from Brzesowitz to TOpoian, and its advance& guard -Marched to Autzctieran, and communicated with that at Dra- Bowiti: Upon this :movement of the Allies, the. French quitted tticir canionnie66. On a signal whiCh pro-- ceeded froin . Austerlitz, Marshkl SOULT there re united his diviSion, v - hich thus' evacuated the vil- : I:lezi which i;:bad occupied. f".lll6.A.llies flattered thernselyes that •the Enemy 7.vould not risk 'the fat t e of 'a battle *fore Brunn. After the'ev s .nts of the 28th, this hope became the opitlon at . ileaci.;4uarters. • Thigi, instead. of precipitating their'movements; it was . Wi9hed to fiiaucr.uvre for .a while; when; however, they had - ' - advanced too far to be able to avoid a decisive tom .hat, if, contraryto t h eopinion of those who doubted that the French would engage, they should persist in not retiring. We have seen, that hithcrio 'M. DE 4uTtxzow had advanced with his tight, and had refused hid left ; that he wished to turn .the Enemy by the mountains, and for this purpose had brought the greatest part of his infantry on his tight flank. At Wichau this disposition was changed, and it was determined to manoeuvre on the right of the Enemy. A march was made to the left, which lost time, and also the ground which might have been gained in advance. On the 4.'oth.of November the Combined Army moved from Lutsch, and the Height of Noska, to those of Kluboschau and Kutscherau. It was not till, the Ist of December that Marshals BERNA DOTTE and . D4vousT joined the Emperor NAPO LEON, and on the vgth M. DE KUTUZOW would have had. it: in his power to have been at Auster litz. Afterhavitk extended beyond Wischau, the Allied Army could no longer manoeuvre with im punity;. the time which it then lost in making movements, which did not .condua it :straight to the Enemy, by disclosing to them its plans,' enabled the French to receive the reinforcements whiCh were at hand. A short flank movement could not accom plish the obje6l which , the Allies had in view ; a longer one.i.vould have, presented to the Enemy the means of attacking the columns during .the pro longation. of their march. 70 be continued.)

L 0 N 0 N, • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1806. • THE Lord Hotart Packet, from New-York and Halifax, is arrived at Falmoilth. She sailed on the 4th'July from New-York,-and from Halifax on the 16th. The letters will be delivered to-morrow. YESTERDAY and to-day the Funds declined two per Cent. This fall was attributed to the reports to which we alluded yesterday, of the 'Negotiation having been broken off, &c. but we believe it proceeded from a very obvious cause, vii. the anxiety of those who have been making large purchases to tealize.a profit. THOUGH we cannot but regret that French Coun cils have obtained such an ascendancy in the Cabinet . of Russia. as to produce a separate Peace between that Country and France, yet we cannot bring our selves to believe that the noble mind of the EMPEIiOR of RUSSIA could be induced to enter into any engage.' ments that would be inconsistent with the amicable relations which he has so long held with Great Britain . . The Treaty of Peace between that Monarch and France will of course soon be published and, in the mean time, we shall cherish "the persuasion that it will not indicate any participation in designs in jurious. to the interests 'and honour of this cOun try. The same reSpd.l and esteem, in . which .we hold the Emperor ALEXANDER, compel us to dthlbt the rumours which confidently state that he: is about to join . with France 'in a meditated partition • of Turkey. It must be.: owned that the Ottoman Court has lately displayed ' great symptoms of unsteadiness in its conduet, and, has much de graded itself in the homage which its' Ambassa dor was permitted to lavish upon BONAPARTE, whose " treacherous genius," IQ use its own words, it had before so severelA and so justly arraigned. But though, notwithstanding this servile • homage; and notwithstanding- any friendly Negotiations into which France and Turkey may have . entered, we should n,ot be surprised at any hostile mea- sures which the former might adopt agaihst the • Territories of the GRAND SIGNIOR ; yet there must be too high a sense of justice and honour in the dis position of the EMPEROR, of RUSSIA to suffer him . to join in such measures, particularly as in the final result they could only tend to increase the enormous power of France. Mr. Fox, we find, was thought to be somewhat better this day, a circumstance the more encouraging to his Friends,' as it doeS licit appear that any pecu liar alteration has taken place in the mode of treat ment.

He states that the Dutch had seven Sail of the Line and several Fri gates, which they were dismantling, so confident and general were the expeelations of an immediate peace between, this Country and France. We stated yesterday that the report of a renewal of hostilities in. India arose from the conduct of 4 refractory Chief, who refused to relinquish the Fort of Gohud, according to Treaty. The following ex traet of a letter,- and the subjoined article, give a more particular account of this action, which was soon expeCted to conclude in favour of the British Troops: • " I lament to inform you, that your son (Capt. W. B. MACVITEE, I I th' Regiment of Native Intan7 try) fell in storming the redoubt before Golmd, on the 21st February. It will, . however, afford you some consolation to learn that he proved himself, on this occasion, - -as on every other, a brave and gallant Officer.. " It having been stipulated in the Treaty that Fort Gohud was to be given up to SCINDIA, and the knowledge of this circumstance having publicly transpired, an- enterprising partizan, with a strong force ; surprized the place, and taking possession' of it, refused to deliver it into the hands of 'SCINDIA, under the pretence of holding it for his legitimate, Sovereign, the Rajah of Gohnd. M a j or B OWIE was in consequence ordered to compel .him to sur render the place to SpiNDlA's Troops. . He pro ceeded against it with one Battalion of the 25th Regiment, and part of the 2lst. Major BOWIE was lying before the fort previous to the sailing of the. last Fleet, and hopes were entertained that this adventurer would, speedily give up the place. This expectation, was, however, disappointed. Captain MACVITEE, as we before sta}ed, and two other Of ficers, fell in the attack which it was found neces sary to make 'upon the redoubt; several privates were killed, and many more wounded. Captain M. Was Much regretted as a 'brave and experienced Officer." The Bombay Gazette of the i ith of last January contains some interesting intelligence : 'the Govern ment of Bonibay has taken the most effectual steps to put a stop to the frequent injuries sustained by our coasting . trade from the piratical States in those seas,, particularly the people of Bate, Aramra, Pissootra, and Gomtree.. Capt. DoBBIE, of His Majesty's Ship Fox, • proceeded with some smaller Vessels to Bate Roads in the beginning of December, expressed the earnest desire of the British Government to preserve peace and amity with, their neighbours by all just and honourable means; but peremptorily demanded resti - - tution of the British property which had been captured by those pirate 6. The menace soon had the desired effe6l. _ The Rajah of Bate was justly apprehensive that his town and his temples 'would not long resist the pointed guns or the Fox; and he restored, upon oath, all the property taken by his subje&s. A si milar summons produced' the like at Aramra ; but some force, was necessary to obtain .adequate, corn pensation.for other plunder, which had been denied. captain DOBBIE having fully accomplished the oi?- jecas of his enterprize, returned to Bombay, leaving the Strombolo, Lively, and a large Pattamai, to cruize along the piratical shores. Several Slops for India are at present about to take their departure from Portsmouth; by them, recruits fbr different regiments, as well as Officers, are going out. Colonel HARE, of the 24th Dragoons, is among the . number. • it is now - ascertained that the fortunate successor to. Lord LAKE is to be Lieutenant-General Stmco.g.

Extract of a Letter from an Officer of the .b/oca4D of 38 guns, one .of our cruizers in the East Indies, to his brother at Romsey, dated on board L'Amelia prize, at Sea, Nov.' 25, 1805 :—" Since Iny last, we have taken three prizes, for one of which we paid rather dear. On the I ith of OCtoOer we chaced a large convoy from Bourbon to the, Isle o France, all of which, except one Sloop; escaped us„ and got safe into St. Dennis's. The rirst Liet,tl tenant and' myself volunteered to go in and cut ouc what we could. We were out all one night, but did nothing, having got to leeward of the Port. On the 12th we made a second attempt, with the Launch and two cutters. We rowed tour hours, and at ono a. m. found the convoy .at anchor in St. Dennis's. To our great surprise, we discovered, within a few minutes, that we were close to a five-gun bat! tery. Monsieur was walking with his musket across his shoulders. •We had. no time to _spare„, for the 'other two Boats were half a league osier!). A grand salute from the battery and armed Ships Soon, convinced .us of our perilous situation. The shot came all around us, but fortunately none hit us. We made oar best, way to the Sloop above-men tioned, ,and were, welcomed by her with a volley of musquetry. ,However, we Warded, drove out the French, and took possession of her. We were soon in a more perilous situation than before ; it fell a dead calm, which continued for an hour, 4nd left us exposed to the fire of the batteries and armed Ships. Soon: after the other Boats came up, with most of their crews wounded.. A fatal shot carne, and th First Lieutenant was no more. It . appearing im possible to do any good with our prize, the Launch and the last Boat endeavoured to get us off; but when all were _taken out except myself and two men, a noble breeze sprung up, and wafted us out, just as we were 4inking, with six feet water, and a full cargo of rice. We providentially brought our prize safely off, though the French expeCted to see us go to the bottom."
