ADINTRALTY-OT/ICE, JAN. 9, 1 SO6.
On the 25th ult. Admiral Sir John Duckworth fell in with
a French squadron, consist:mg of six sail of the Line mid one
Frigate, in Lat. 31. Long. 20., and chased it to tot. 28. 41
Long.l9. 37 ; when, neni its superiority of sailing, (hying fresh
ships) he lost sight of them, although at one time, his own
ship, the Superb, was within six miles of the stenimostship of
the enemy; this., of his own being at that time out of sight
a-strn. Tne chace continued thi.trone bows.

The Hamburgh Mail, due on Wednesday se'ns
night, arrived yesterday, with letters and pipers
to the 29th last. They announce the commence-
ment of hostilities in Hanover, between the
Anglo-Russian army and the French. On the
24d, au anion took place between Eft.ckmulilen
and Altenhagen, which terminated in the complete
nieces, of the Russian and English forces. I'he
Fiends had many killed and wounded, and 200
taken prisoners, with two pieces of cannon. The
enemy consisted of between 5 and 600 men, part of
the garrison of Hameln, on their march towards
Springen. The remainder of them were obliged to
retreat to Hameln.
The reports of a rupture between Prussia and
France, and of the renewal of the war in Germany,
so industriously propagated by some of our cotem-
poraries, are totally at variance with the contents of
the Hamburgh Mails. 7'he Br,-;laa Gazette, of
the 20th, states, that the Armistice has been pro-
pnged to the cad of March neat, and many other

articles concur in representing a peace betwea
Austria and France, as a certain and immed:a'e
evert. 'elle German Papers contain the thirty•fouith
thiriy-fifth bulletins of the Grand Array ; the
former of which may 'oeurzed in confirmaliod of this
account. It is dated the 10th, at Munn, and asserts,
that Prince JOIIN of ',teat E sISI tin had arrived there,
on the 9th, with full powers to negociate on the
part of the Emperor of Acsr R:A ; and that the con-
ferences between him and TA LLLIIRANnr were in
full lain.
The 35th Bnlletin stares, that the Russian ;unit,
began it: march on the nth, on its return home.--
It marched in three divisions, by three sever ii
routes. The Emperor ALEX Pincs, at the head of
the first division, set out from Teschen on the Std',
and arrived ar Bielitz on the 9th. The retreat of.
the Russian troops precludes all hope of the cm.
tinuance of the scar in Gzrmaily, %Inch,
arrival of the Aid:Juke Cu Atte. xs„ii
vicinity of Vie:tha, may have inspired. 1.,- t
troops under the command of that gallant Priace,
which had arrived at Neustadt, within three
posts of Vienna, have evacuated that position, by •
virtue of the Armistice. He has thus given his
praaical consent to that measure, and c. rtlr it
by his condua. He did all th sk I!, courage,
and perseverance, could effed, but he could nut
refuse his acquiescence to the Arrn;s•ii-i!.
The Seth Bulletin concludes w. 61 SA ;;lig--
" Prussia never had a s^lid att.! disinterested Crime'
but France ;" and the 35:11 adls —4' S.,veral let-
ters from Vienna assert, in strong terms, that a war
with Prussia is not far distant, but it is much more
oto be believed that a Continental peace is near."
These Bulletins,talthough sirs nge anomalous mit-
tures, have some pretensions to an official charadter.
These expressions shoe, that BON APAR/IL is not
quite at ease with respra to Prussia ; but, when
combined with other circumstances, they tend to
prove that he is nct greatly alarmed. Count
Hat:owl-re left Vienna on the 13th, noon his
return ,to Berlin, and we have nn reason to
pre:urre, that he did not part the Eta rhos
of the French, upon the best possible terms, and
with full assurance, that His PRUSSIA, M SJISTY
would continue tb adhere, to that wire and riiignifited
system, which he has hitherto observed.
Admit al Kt eienta r, wefind, has been called Upon
by the Patch Government, to account fur his ex-
traordinary letter, lat. ly sent to this country in an
open boat. He has rated, in his justification, that
the contents of :he letter were consisfired true at the
time, and that he rent it men* in retaliation upon
the English Admiral, who had previously seat hint
intelligence in favour of England. It thus appears
that Ki H filer letter was not a fthrication.
A letter from Amsterdam, of the 2lst, mentions
i the loss of the Mary transport, of London, and tlfe
.Isl6thil, of Liverpnol, upon th:r roast of Holiand-
-270 men were on bnard the former, of whom '23
were saved-3N were on board the latter, of
whom tes were saved.

A report prevailed last night, that Governme
had rece•iverl dispatches from Admiral Cot. %w.sc-
us, stating that the Brest fleet was nut, and he had
strong hopes of being able to bring them to aalon.
We have not been able to ascertain %skit Ilegree of
credit is due to this rumour.

I.olth IaEL.sON'S FUSEILII...
The funernl ttf this lamented hero took place
yesterday, and diplayed a Jego e of splendour tin-
man.pled in the histoty of this country. During
the whole of IVednesd iy night, carpenters were em
ployed in erefting sceffolds and seats in the several
streets throne+ which the procession was to lIANS,
and the workmen wire occupied in laying dawn
the gravel, and preventing tire intresien of car-
riages and horsemen. From the Admiralty to St.
Paul's, every thing was noise and hustle; the men
worked by candle and flambeau light dosing the
whole night, and such was the anxiety to see this
highly interesting ceremony, many persons had
taken their scats long before day-light.
• Carts, cars, waggons, etc. were placed at the
ki openings of the several streets into the line of the
1.; procession, so Coat none bat pedestrians could pos-
sibly intrude upon the cavalcade.
IA The streets beg, in to fill at six o'clock; and, while
1 it was still dark, hundreds more than even wbat is
usual in mid--day, were assembled; and the town
was literally illuminated, by the thousands prepar-
ing for the speClacle, at so early an hour. A little
after six o'clock, the drnms and fil s of she several
regiments of vo!unteers belonging to London and
Westminster, beat to arms, and a very full mnstir
took place by eight n'cleck, nn ti:it respeEtive pa-
rade ground:, from whence they marched to keep
the line allotted to each regiment, during the preces-
sion ; and, be ore nine, the whole lane, from the Ad-
miralty to So Patel's, was completely formed ; the
infantry in close double files, at each side the streets,
, and the cavalry guarding the various pares into
the leading &tree ts, and clearing. the populace, who
were asscreLled in thousands about the Admiralty.
The Loyal Westminster, the Royal Westminster,
the Queen's, and the Prince of NVales's regiments,
took l/aeir station nearest to the Admiralty, white
o ,he St. Nlasgret's and St. John's, the Bloomsbury,
and the King's Inns Association, the Loyal North
Brltons, headed by their Colonel, His Ro al Higgs..
ne.s the Duke of Sussex, and ail the other orps of
-Westminster and hlidellesex, lined the apace from
theoce to Temple Bar. The line to Temple Bet
was thence formed by the Last India Compaay '5
reeimenr, and a party of the East London Nblitia,
Met the Bar, and all the other City regiments fill-
ing .he remaining p Ice from thence to St. Paul's ;
'the whole composing the most regular, b '4UtifUl,
and military line ever witnessed in this mtoropelie.
All th• enecOol, petty. and other constables, and all
the Ptelice Odizers of every deseription, belonging
to London, Westminster, and Midolevee, wile en
duty, and stationed at the avenues leading to the
Strand, Fleet-street, &c. By these mint Judicious
arrangements, the centre of these streets were kept
qnite clear ; the greatest regularity and decorum
etevail-1, arra every possible dims* and confu-
sion. which midst otherwise ensue, eißctualll Pre-
vented.
It wntild be impossible to describe, in adequate
terms, the multitude of persons who crowded from
all quar.ers of town and cruntry to witness this in.
terasting spectacle. Every place that offered a possi-
bility, or a chance of axing the least part of it, was
essoweled. Fr m the shop windows, to the roofs of
the loise., • Ivey .pace was occupied ; the steeples
and sp-res el the churches were filled, and even the
top of the Opera House, in the Haymarket, was
/.eOll7rid en iiiiii-stss were given even for stairdiug
in a tire, itoti lending street, for a few moments. St.
James's Park exhibited a most beautiful and inte-
resting scene. By nine o'clock, the several re-
giments which had signalized themselves in Egypt
under Mr-brave and lamented Gen. Sir Ralph Aber-
crinel, were drawn out upon the parade ground of
Coe; toads, in Ilse rear of the Horse Guards, extend-
ing neer half way round the Park, to right and
left. The toot were there formed in Companies,
aid the Cavalry in troops ; the flamer consisting of
the :Oh, or Old Buff's, the '2J, or Gordon High-
lantier s, and doe ;fhb, another Highland regiment;
the lave r consisted of the 14th, or Queen's Light
Dragoon., the 10th, or Prince of Wales's, and the
whole regiment of Scotch Greys. A detachment of
the East London Militia also formed a part of this
force, anti a large Park of flying artillery. The
Officers of the several regiments wearing crape
sashes and sword knots, with crape round their
i hats and arms ; the difFerent colours and
standards tied with bunches of black crape, the
drums mnfßed with black cloth, and the instru-
ment; belonging to the respective bands also tied
sell) hunches of crape, giving the whole a .very
solemn and grand appearance. This fir* body or
'cc .4” was chiefly commanded by General Sir
K .leer Dundas ; but Their Royal Highnesses the 1
Dukes of York and Cumberland, with their respec- i
tire snits, rode constantly backwards; and forwards
from HI-de Park to the Hesse Guards, giving ge. i
rural orders for arranging the Funeral. '1 he mul- i

The sun sh .e with e.: brightness (r 1 a sumine's

were closed in the morning, as tisuet upon such ec-
c.tsions ; and the usual ceremony ) t requesting ad-
mission, and opening them with the cre'sent of the
Lord Mayor of London, was ob•erved. Here the
civic mernhers, who bad toren weiting nn the

At half-past one, exedlly, the first of the Mar-
' steal's men entered the west gate of the Church-yard
of St. Peel's, and proceeded slowly on to the steps
which lead up to the west door of the Cathedral ;
and the procession, for some time, had a very strik-
ing effed ; but as soon as Rouge Dragon, Pursui-
vitro at Arms, and the banners, had 'tressed on, it
became somewhat broken, as the several persons
who followed were oblieed to proceed forward,
singly, as they Act out of their respeniee carriages ;
the weather being too cold to permit them to wait
to firm any thistle like a conneeled procession from
the gate to the church door. As soon, however,
as His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Lad
passed Intg • the church, and the great banner wa.
seen from the west gate. A s'etnal was made to
those in waiting with the canoe v, which WAS to be
placed over the coffin, on its Ewing taken from the

~'crock in the morning. The North and
South doors were estrernely easy of access, tll
. the 7reces,;er began to come in view. The
company colioued to enter the Cathedral tall
te:elve Oslosek, and among them were many who
had devnted the early part of the day to a vlov of
the seee.tele in the streets. Upwards of 5,000
tickets were issued for the different galleries, b. sides
those for the Corpor stints of London and other
public.bodies, and persons of eLstintflian. No tick-
ets wee sold, but those lot the West Gallery. They
were three guineas each. The money arisineram
the sale, to be distributed among the Minor Canons,
and V;car Chorals belonging to the Church, by
wider of the Dean and Cheerer ; but they were re-
striefed from advertising them. They were, t!.ere-
fore, able to dispose of very few tickets. The other
galleries and seats were/IMA by eleven o'clock, ex•
cept the Lord Chamberlain's box, which could have
accommodated double the number of persons who
appeared in it. The Lord Chambetlain, it seems,
arrived in town only within these few days ; and,
consequently, there was but hale opportuto.y to
make applications to ISIS Lords sip for to.k. ts.
—Numbers of the company continued to lounge
about in the principal West Aisle, under the dome,
and in the other parts of the Catheril, until the
Vrocessinn was announced to be in sight. Sir. Ste-
phen C tiered, as Master of the Ceremonies, and
Colonel Chester, his Deputy, cranial d the Fureign
Ambassadors, from the North door, to their seats in
the front row, under the dame on the South side.
Among them we noticed the Prussian, Swedish and
Pcv tugnese Ambassadors.

A number of the Gentlemen of the Court of

tended. after eight o'clock, to keep the seats of the
Lord Mayor, and Common Council ; hut rime
ladies, who were earlier in their attendance, got it.to
the seats, and the gentlemen were too gallant to dis-
turb their possession.
About ten o'clock, a gentleman was suddenly
seized with an apoplelic fit, near the Minor Canon's
Vestry, and fell backwards. Mr. Hui-loci(' a me-
