SOLZM QUIS DICERE VALSUM AUDZAT L 0 N D 0 N, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1806. WE regret very much that we are still unable to relieve the anxiety which the Public must feel re spe&ing the results of the Battle of Auerstadt. No intelligence whatever has been received from the Continent since Tuesday night. The reports, there fore, whieh have been circulated, of a Peace having been concluded between France and Prussia, are founded entirely ui;on conjeatire. WE understand that the PRINCE Da CONDE has received a Letter from an Officer of Rank and Cha ra Lier who was present at the Battle of, the 14th, which states, that the A6tion was maintained with equal advantage, from . a very early hour in the morning till late in the afternoon, and that the arrival of a considerable number of fresh Troops ultimateiy decided the battle in favour of the French. The Letter adds, that the Prussians were able to make their retreat in good order, and the loss on both sides is described as immense and nearly equal. If this account Should prove to be corre&, the Campaign may yet terminate in favour of the Prussians. If BONAPARTE should meet with any reverse, his situation, as we observed yesterday, will be critical indeed; but there i5...t00 much reason to apprehend that,he - will succeed in detaChing SaxOny from the cause of Prussia. The PRINCESS CHARLOTTE Of WALES, accom panied by her Governess in a barouche and four, took an airing yesterday in Hyde Park. The DUKE of CUMBERLAND has been at \Vey- - mouth for some time, and, on Saturday, his Royal Highness dined at Mr. BUXTON'S. Lord PAULETT, Generals MACFARLANE and COTTON, Col. and several others, were of the party. The report of Buenos Ayres being retaken by the Spaniards is totally void of foundation. The Corr missary-General -of that place set off last night` with his family for Falmouth, to proceed to his destina tion. A letter from the Cape, with which we have been fitvoured, gratifies us with the information, that -about 2000 men have been sent from the Cape to reinforce our troops at Buenos Ayres, and to enable them to take Ilvate Video. _ _ His Majesty's" Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of Irelaqd, bath, been duly passed, constituting and appointing the Most Noble FRANCIS Siymoua CONWAY, Marquis of HERTFORD, Custos Rotulo rum of the county of Antrim, vacant by the death of the Right Hon. GEORGE. Earl MACA-RTNEY. The Rev. SIDNEY SMITH, Lecturer of the Royal Institute, has been presented, by the LORD CHAN CELLOR, to the Reetory of Fostou, 'in the county of York; Lord KEITH is arrived in town from Ramsgate, and had yesterday a long interview with Mr. GRENVII.LE, at the Admiralty. • Yesterday the Lour) CHANCELLOR held the first General Seal before Michaelmas .Term, at Lincolfi's Inn ".11. Very few Counsel attended, and the motic, were merely such as were of course. The , EXPEDITIONS.—A command, and a most extensive one, is certainly intended tin Lord Mota,A we have even heard some of the Regiments na med who are to compose this Grand Army, and several Cavalry have been mentioned. We have likewise heard the names of several Officers as Lord MOIRA'S Stair ; but , we believe all yet hangs on conjedure, in which state it may be improper for us to detail the Corps mentioned, or the names of the Officers. The obje& of this grand, Expedition is not very dis tant, and none of the Royal Duker, are mentioned as to command in it.—lt is still intended to aetively employ Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, Major-General HILL, and some other aaive and zealous young General OfficerS . speedily. Generals WELLESLEY'S and HrLL's Brigades will be the first Regiments employed in attive service.—We sincerely hope the remote Expedition, under. Sir.s,AratruzL AuculstuTy, has got the start of the French Force which lately left Brest. It is said that a force is at length about to be sent to the Continent. The sth; 'or King's Own, guar •tered at Hastings, commen4ed their march az Sa-. tur6y for Deal, where they Will embark on tl.e,sth, of November. Other Regiments, have been men-. tiOncd as seleatd to lona Fin of thc,Exiieditbn. NA VA L . NEW S.

The Royal George proceeded with the Transports fur the Mediterranean. Several of the Transports lost their topmasts in a gale of wind, but sustained no material damage. Arrived the Rostock Gal Hot Der Fannen Baum, WINDT, from Bourdeaux, laden with wine and brandy, detained by the Hero Privateer. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 30.—Arrived the Minotaur, of 74 - guns, r! _apt.

MERICAN PA PERS. BOSTON, OCT. 2.—The Spanish Governor, AR RAIiA, with about a thousand Spanish troops and a number of Indians, has advanced to within a. very short distance of •Nachitoches; and the Governor declared to Colonel 'CusHlNG,the 'American Com mander, that it was his. intention to take and keep for his .King and ,Master. the territory between the Sabina- and the Adigo Hindu, about six miles distant from Nachitoches. This is the distria from which Captain TURNER expelled the Spaniards in the tireceding year, as form ing part of the province of Louisiana. The follow, ing letter mentions the • a&ual commencement of hostilities : " CINCINNATI, SEPT. 2.—We learn that Captain SPARKS, of the second United States' Regiment, and; a number of his men, have been made prisoners by. the Spaniards; and that Lieut. Colonel CUSHING, of the same Regiment, was marching in quest of.. the captors." NEW-YORK, SEPT. Ig.—Capt. THOMPSOI•I has arrived here from Laguira, which he lett the 24th of August. He was bOarded on the 25th by the, British' ational Schooner"Gipsey, of to guns, Lieut. BOYD, who informed hiM, that, On the 13th of Aug. the Lipsey went into Coro for some repairs : that a day or two after, Capt. THOMPSON, of the Leander, proceeded about five miles from Coro for water, where they were attacked by the Spaniards, and Capt. THOMPSON and 14 of his men were killed that as soon as MIRANDA heard of the attack, he. • proceeded to the scene. and drove the Spaniards to the mountains; that Gen. MIRANDA, finding he had to contend with from 2 to 4000 Spaniards, with only between 3 to 400 men, thought proper to seek a more advantageous place to land, and establish his head-quarters ; that, accordingly, on 'the t6th of August, he embarked his troops, and sailed the next day ; that the Spaniards, though thus superior, never dared to attack anypart of, his force, except the watering party ; and that it was not known on what part of the coast he would next land. Lady HAMILTON gave a Concert, Ball, and Sup per, at Mello)), on Wednesday night last, to the neighbourhood, on the anniversary of the birth of MiSSBORATIA NELSON, who attained her Gth year. Madame GRASSINI, Madame CATALANI, Madame ,BIANCHI, S►gnors ROSELLI, .NALDI, RovEDINo, MoitEw, and several other accomplished Artists, as well as Amateurs, were present.

A cantata, composed thr the occasion by Signor BlAS was sung by Lady HAIVIILTON, ,Madame BI ANCHI, Signor ROSELLE, and Signor NALDI.

A Meeting took place, yesterday at the Crown and ,Anchor Tavern, for the purpose' of supporting' Mr. PAULL in his canvass for the Representation of Westminster. Sir FRANcis 'I3I.TDTT. took the Chair - and as soon as the cloth, was . removed, ad • dressed the company. .He began with stating, that Mr. PAULL was a man whose independent prin ciples rendered him a proper object . of their choice. Lord GARDNER had signified that his profes sional duties employed him so much as to in duce him to decline offering himself as. Can, didate again. Sir FRANCIS observed, that this Was . a very.proper plea for the gallant Admiral, and • that it constituted a ground of obje&ion to Sir SAsi, HOOD. He 'honoured both these. spirited Officers, but he thought that the only place in which British Admirals could not appear to -advantage was as Members of the lionse of 'Commons. As to Mr. SHERIDAN, he conceived that he was disqualified for a seat for - Westminster, being Treasurer of the Navy. - But the Baronet gave no other reason than the mere possession of an office under Government. He concluded with recommending Mr. p.AULL in strong terms, for having been active in bringing for ward the subje& of an inquiry into the condud of Marcinis WELLESLEY, alledging that the chief rea son for the Dissolution of Parliament, in his opi, nion, was, to put- a stop to Mr. PAULL'S investiga tions; as if there was no other person calculated to take up the business bUt Mr. PAULL. Sir FRANCIS concluded with moving a string of Resolutions upon hacknied topics, the last of which was to recom mend Mr. P.tum., whose health and success he pro posed to toast. Mr. PAULL thanked the Company for the honour they had done him, declaring that as he was quite un-, known to the Eledors, except for his etforts to bring forward an Inquiry into the condud of Mar,: quis WELLESLEY, he could ascribe the support he received to nothing but an approbation of those ef forts. Contrary to the opinion of Sir FRANCIS, he declared, that Mr. SHERIDAN, whom be den°, minated an illustrious man, was entitled to the choice of the Eledors. He avowed that in politics he should consider himself as the pupil of Sir F. BURDETT, Whpsecondua he should imitate, even if it should bring him to the gallows. sir FRANCIS then addressed. the Company again, and after paying a Compliment to the Eletors Hampshire, proposed their Health, and success to [- their Cause. When this Toast had been drank„ Sir FtlANets made a few observations upon the mode of canvass ing which would best promote the object of the Meeting, and declaring, that he was obliged to at- tenda Meeting of Middlesex Freeholders, retired. The rest of the Meeting, was chiefly devoted to convivial enjoyment, and the Company separated soon after nine o'clock, without any riot or dis-! turbance. The Barnet's Roberspierian Address, as well 4 Paul's Epistle to the Illestminsterians are laid before one of.the new' Sheriffs for his opinion, who. has, been requested to decide thereon, and carefully at-t tend upon the authors. Mr. SHERIDAN dins • strong pretensions to the sop , port of the people, if it were only for his patricitio condo& during the Naval mutiny, and his fire. perseverance in adhering to his parliamentary du, ties when his Party thought proper to secede.-- , s Mr. PAULL has no merit but in attempting to bring disgrace .upon a . Nobleman, whouu bit a short time before, he addressed in tb.e lowing terms :—" The wise, liberal, and .etitmi lightened policy that marks every - 4 ,t of the Ady ministration of your Excellency," as well as " your Excellency, to whom no man ever complained in vain with justice." A multiplicity . of fulsome com pliments of the same kind were addressed. to Mar... clues WELLESLEY by the very man who now rests, his only claim to the Support of the Eleaors Westminster on his abuse of this Noble' Ski REWSBURY ELECTION. -- AL". TY'RWnITT : JONES closed his canvass for Sbrewsbtiry on Tues-. day evening, which was a most snccessfill one. The populace took the horses froM his carriage and drew him home, amidst the loudest aoclainAions. -1 • By accounts from Honduras, receNed. by the way of Boston, it appears that Settlen;ent is under great -apprehensions of an attack third the Spaniards,. 1:11p following Extrad is from a Letter, dated fe HoNDonas, AUG. 22.—Here we are in great, alarm and bustle .of preparation, in consequence of , . information received from different quarters a few days ago, of a formidable Expedition fitting out . . against our Settlement by the Spaniards in our neigh-. bourhood. _ . _ The troops destined for the at'. Aare on their march from all quarters to Baccalar, and the Naval ,part of the Expedition is principally preparing at. Campeichy, where twenty-three of the Gun-boats, destined for the Expedition, are stated to be com pletely equipped, and they are to be joined by others from Baccalar, and large Vessels from the Havan nah, which are to assail us in front, while we are attacked in the rear by the troops. Nature has done 'much for us, ,and we do not despair of holding our ground ; but, however the business may end, the consequences must be highly distressing to us; for if we find the danger as immediate as we have ma ' son to fear it is, we shall be obliged to call in our Negroes from their occupations to prevent their be . ingcut elf, and to embody them for our proteetion, as was the case in 1796 and 1797. " Brigadier-General MONTHESOR, who is here pn service; and our Superintendant, Colonel HA DILLTON, have bad some consultations here with the Magistrates on the snbj4. - fot, and prepjrations for de ( fence, and thq prevention of surprise, are making."
