In the House of Peers the Address will be moved by Lord ESSEX. • Two Hamburg/I Mails arrived yesterday,- but the intelligence they bring has been already anticipated by the Papers which we received, the details from which we communicated to our Readers on Thursday. The Russian official account - t)f the Battle of Austerlitz has been circulated in Germany, which differs widely from the French statement. It .ap , pears from this document, that the Riiksian Armyon the 2d ult. consisted of only 5 0,000 men, and that'the Austrians, chiefly new' levies, •were not above half that number. The French Army is stated,to have had from 15,000 to 20,000 more men in consequence of BEF\ DOTTE having - joined the day before the battle The ridiculous story of several thoUsand Russians having been drowned appears to have , been an utter falsehood. The total loss of the Russians is esti mated at not more than ten thou.sand men, whilst that of the French is supposed to have been at least as great. The French, after the battle of Auste'rlitz, did not attempt to pursue the retreating Army, but on the following day they, attacked the Russian Rear - guard in the neighbourhood of Uheschutz but after a partial action, which lasted till the,.close of the day, they were obliged to re.. linquish their obje&t. It is, also ,positively. stated, that the Russian Imperial Guards did, not lose their Colours, but, on ,the contrary, took the Standard of one of-the French Regiments of Infantry: There is no ddubt that the Emperor ALEXANDER was hi±,hly dissi:isfied with his IMperial Brother of Austria, whose condubt iix.snbmitting.to French diaation, , at the very moment when a favourable tUrn might have been given to his . ailikrs, can hc:/er s he sufficiently lamented. The Archduke CHARLES is also stated to have openly expressed his disapprobation of the con . du& of his Brother,. fur whom, however, the pre sence of himself and his Army probably obtained better terms than would otht rwi ,e have been granted. The cessation of hostilities in Hanover, and the halt of the French Troops. whiCh were marching thither, are fully confirmed. On Saturday the ROYAL, DUKES dined with Their MAJESTIES. In the evening Their MAJESTIES had a Select Party. Yesterday noon the Rev. Dr. GLASSE, being one of the Chaplains in waiting, read the Service to the ROYAL FAMILY at the - QUEEN'S House.

In, consequence Of which he and General TaLsrox set off to. Minden, " to consult with 'the General. coin ma.nding ihe - Itussian Troops in : ,:that quarter. They were only one night atMinden,,• and then returned to Nicnburgh, whence my'friend there informs me that no hostili ties would take place betwit the English and French Armies for-two - months, doubt'.on purpose to wait the event of the - Negotiations at Olmutz. • It is said the Emperor' of Russia - has 'as yet dined taking any part in the Negotiations, rick*ith 'tandincr, the most flatteriiict prOpositiOns which have been •made to him. . • • • • . I am this moment informed; fromgood audio rity, that BoNAPARTE proposes giving Prussian Si to,the Emp6 - or of Germany, as an indemnifi cation for Tyrbl, and' to resign his honest pretensions to Hanover, as a voluntary.compensation to his Prus sian 'Majesty. . •Since writing the above, . have unques tionable authority to inform you, that my, friend's Intelligence from Nienburgh, stating that his Prussian MajeStY had arranged it so that no hostilities shollld take place for two months in this Country, is 'a cer tain fad.: The principal condition is, that none of the Troops of the Belligerent Powers. shall remain betWixt the 'Ems and. Weser. In consequence of which all our advanced Corps are returning on this side of the Weser into the quarters of the Brigade of Guards, who march into this City to-morrow morning' About:.three thonsand of the German. ,Legion are quartered here this evening. JANTTARY 7. It is confidently asserted here, in the best in formed circles, that his Prussian Majesty has-, gua ranteed Hanover, so. that in all likelihood no hosti lities Will commence in this_ quarter; . and what still corroborates the assertion is, that the powder and shot which have, been 'for soine time in; the neighbourhood of Bremen is sent dawn the'Rivf towards the' Transports lying at Braaek.. li tional Gunners who were sent to the Artiltel i , save been:also ordered to join their Regitr,f - -:IL:, ;_hat had there been any chance. . being ; called int 6 action in the.spring; it 'May naturally, 'be supposed. they would have been exercised at the guns during the winter. Besides, allcootraas fbr horses and Wag gons are suspended in the interim, which amounts to a kind of proof positive, that some pacific arrange ment is on the carpet. The two Battalions of Guards, two Regiments of the Line, and a =Rifle Regiment, ,are quartered in this City. • In. the Suburbs are also two Regiments of the, Line. The men behave. extremely well, and considering the handsome provision -which is made for them by. the, .nglish.Governmerit; tile inhabi-. tants feel only the inconveniency of having them in their houses, which they seem to bear With great pleasure. I really believe, were the Citizens polled • to-morrow morning, not one in ten would•wish the Military to leave it. s It is extremely lbrtunate for the British Shipping in the Weser that the weather continues open and ild had a. severe wintet set ,in, and fro4e the River, the daimgellllliit have beeu'irnmense.
