WE yesterday stopped the Press to communicate to our Readers the substance of the intelligence brought by the three Hamburg/4 Mails, which ar rived in the course of yesterday. This aay. we give an ample detail of all the Articles of Intelligence of any importance which the Mails• have brought, There can no longer be any doubt of the fa& of an Armistice having been concluded, bnt it is equal ly certain that Russia is not included in it, neither does the Emperor ALEXANDER appear to have. taken any share in the Negotiations, whatever they were, which led to it. It cannot, however, be clearly ascertained what the real terms of the Armi stice are; still less does it appear what was the im . mediate cause of its being concluded. There can be no doubt that the Allies were defeated on the 2d, but that defeat was neither decisive nor disastrous. The Allied Army amounted, after the Battle, to 85,000 men, and they remained in' possession of Austerlitz, 'near which place the Battle was fought. There seems to have been subsequently a sort oragree meat to enable both sides to bury their dead, and then a sort of understanding, that, from the failure of provisions, they could not continue the contest where they were. But we cannot find any account of the motives or causes which could lead to an Armistice, or of the terms of such Armistice. It is clear, however, that the Russians have nothing to do with it, neither does it appear that they had marched in the way pointed out in the Paris Pipers, as, some days after the conclusion of the Armistice they 'remained near the scene of adion. It is;however, stated, that Plenipotentiaries had met at Nicolsburg; to negotiate a Peace, brit only between France and Austria. We can only acco: nt for this circumstance by attributing it to , a s!. I..ien panic which'must have seized the EMperor of Austria in consequence of • the result of the Battle of the 2d, unless the whole is 'a stratagem to gain time. If the former,- it was certainly a most unfor tunate panic, as almost at the moment of concluding the Armistice, the affairs of the Allies were in a much better situation than they had been in for some time previously ; the Archduke CHARLES, with .a numerous, and unbroken Army, had ar rived in the neighbourhood of Vienna, which City he would have retaken, had it not been for the Suspension of Arms ; the Archduke FERDINAND had also gained a brilliant Viaory over the Bavarian Army, whom he totally defeated. Under these cir cumstances there was every reason to hope for the most favourable results from the positions in which the. Armies were placed. If it was only a stratagem to gain time, the Allies may still be placed in the most commanding situation. It does not appear that the Russian Tromps, who were marching to re=inforce the Grand Russian Army, hadi. received any orders to halt. The Russian Army would, therefore, in that case be continually increas ing, or, probably, falling back upon their reinforce- It is stated that the Grand Duke CON sTANTIN., after. the Armistice had been concluded, repaired to Berlin to offer the whole Russian Army to be at the disposal of the KING of PRUSSIA. The answer of that Monarch does not appear to be stated upon any ground of authority. He is said to have' declined the offer ; but this is evidently a mere On the contrary, we learn by pri vate accounts from Berlin, of undoubted authority, that the Prussia ti Troops, so far from halting after the Armistice had been concluded, aeluallv continued their.march. The division under Prince HPHENLOHE men ts. rumour. were at Bareuth ; that of the buke of BRuNswicrc. at Bamberg; 'the column tinder the immediate com mand of the icING, of PRUSSIA at Gotha ; the ,Elec tor of HESSE at Fulda ; and the division under Gen. KALKREUTII at Cassel. In addition to these, a Corps of Reserve of 30,000 men were to follow the Grand Army. What may be the precise line of conduEt adopted by the KING ofPRUSSIA, it - is impossible for us, without further in telligence, to conjeaute ; but we certainly have no reason, under the present circumstances of the Continent, to despond. Even if Austria has most improvidently and impolitically given- up the con test,we cannot believe that the KING of Paus- SIA would suffer her be ,dismembered of her fi 3es t Possessions, apd himself placed at the future mercy of the Conqueror, without mak 7 ing one effort to prevent it ; whilst it is evident that the gallant Moliarch of Russia still command sa numerous, a brave, :11(1 an unbroken Army and has not only npE givel up the contest, but is still aEtuated by 'the same firth determination to check, if possible, the ambitious career of BONAPAIM, ,PRIP:4T.E CORRESPONDENCE. BREUEN, Dfc. 21. The defeat of the Russians at Austerlitz on the 2d inst. is now confirmed beyond the possibility of doubt, though I believe no official inforrtiatior. !.as yet reached Lord CAT#CART, who has now taken upon him the chief command of the Amy here ; yet the publicity of the misfortune, joined to a cer tain backwardness which manifests itself Egellls to have a visible effe&onlis dship's move fnents. The Rifle Regiment at Delmenhorst had or, ders to advance to Oldenburg this morning, which I presume they have done ; but the Regiments who were to move forwards from Vegesack, to take up the quarters of the Rifle Corps, notwithstanding their being upon the march, received orders to return t o their cantonments. The 'Brigade of Guards are still quartered in our suburbs ; they were also ex peftecl to march yesterday 'to Delmenhorst, and bread was absolutely baked for them ; but it is go, nerally thought here that 'General DUN'S unex • peded "arrival from Hanover had entirely deranged the intended plan of operations. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEW. SIR, Observing in THE SUN of yesterday, a Letter addressed to you from Mr. BICKNELL, wherein he disavows ever having seen me, I was induced immedi ately to wait on him, to see if I had made any Deis- take as to his person, when, to my great astonish ment, I found it was not Mr. BICKNELL who spoke to me at Sir R. CALDER'S lodgings. lam there fore much concerned, and truly sorry, that I should have made such an error. I since rind that the person who did speak to me -was Mr. GASELEE, Counsel for Sit ROBERT, whom I can identify, hav ing this day called on him. This truly unfortunate, and very unintentional mistake on my part, makes no other alteration in my Affidavit made before the Lord Mayor, than instead of Mr. BICKNELL, the Prosecutor, it was actually Mr. GASELEE with whom I had the conversation at Sir R. CALDER'S lodgings. I am, Sir, your humble Servant, - JAMES NICOLSON. 28, Craven-street, Jan. 3, 1806 " Admiralty-Office, Jan. 3, 1806. " On the 17th ult. in lat. 45. long. 13. 50. His Majesty's Ship 'Valve fell in with the Arethusa Fri gate, and part of her Convoy, which had been chased the preCeding day by a Squadron of the'Enemy (sup posed to be that from Rochefort), consisting of five Sail of the Line, one a three-decker, and three Frigates. _ • " A signal had begn made for the Convoy to dis— perse, Pud_Captain MOLTBRAY expressed his belief that none - df them had fallen into the hands of the Enemy." Arethusa Frigate sailed from Cork on the 12th Dec. with a Convoy for the West Indies. , Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, the'DUKE of KENT, PRINCESSES, AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AME LIA, rode on horseback by Cranbourn.

The particulars of the Dispatches were transmitted last night to Mr. PITT, who is at Bath. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM DUBLIN. " The Loyalists are indulging themselves in the expedtation of seeing the DUKE of CUINIBER LAND here to be installed Chancellor of our University.— Certainly there is not . any part of the British Empire where a Son of our beloved Monarch would be re ceived with more enthusiastic-, affe&ion and respea than in Dublin :—by the Irish Loyalists especial ly, his Royal Highness's glorious defence of the Constitution in Church and State will ever be re membered. with gratitude." THE THEATRE.-The Tragedy of Macbeth was represented last night at Drury-Lane Theatre before a numerous audience. Master BETTY, for the first time in London; performed the part of Macbeth, and acquitted himself much' better than could be reasonably expeeled at his time of life. , It was not to be supposed that he could enter into the cha raEler with critical precision ; but in expressing the passages which require emotion rather than judg ment, he displayed Considerable merit : In other parts he was langitid ; but it was surprising that he could sustain his strength thro' this laborious charac ter to the conclusion. He'llad many opponents in the Theatre, but they were much overnumbered by. his friends. Mrs. POWELL, Mr. H. SWOONS, and RAYMOND, received great applause in Lady Mac beth, Bangor), and :Huard: The Duke of BEDFORD has been gratifying his friends with dramatic . Entertainments at Woburn. The Comedy of John Bull has been represented, ac 7 cording to accounts, with considerable success; and last night the dramatic treat was to have been The Rivals. It is needless to say that magnificent hos pitality has marked the whole of this theatrical Fete. The theatrical Amusements, of Stanmore Priory were resumed last night, and the Comedy of The leivitts'was again perforined. There was a splendid 1. assemblage of the higher ranks present.
