P.AMISURGii MAILS.

inustr, now. 13.
By cnmmini of I lis Majesty the Emperor and
King, who, for these several days has honoured our
city with his presence, the following Declaration has
been published by the President of the Adeninistra-
tiation of Police, Baron Von Summeraw
" His Majesty, the Empenw and king, never had a peore
ardent wish than fur the preservation of Peace. Thievish wa•
rooted in the principles of his C,ivernincnt, as well as in hie
heart. So fir from incurring the slightest suspicion of a deiiie
to ex•end tinminion'F, or to obtain an indelithificrtiou for
the sacrifices which he had made at Luneville and Ratisbon, to
t►e tranquillity of Europe, he required nothing mo-e than
thlit the Emperor of France, animated by the same spirit of en
lightened and humane policy, should retire within the limits
prescribed him by the Treaty of lmeeville.
Those who cerdiallr tank an interest in the fate of En-
rope, muit have been ..msible of the j ustiee cud moderation of
thus desire.

" Faithful to his principles, His Majesty, during the tonne
of the prevent war, was neap to extend his hand to peace. and
sail the most splendid viaoriss, he would have thought add
&tied in the saint manner, as under the influvnee of unto-
ward Well msts:ices.
" Ilia Majesty imagined, that the great and happy moment
at this recotte:liati,m, sad of returning happiness for his poodle,
was not far distant; Lathe leirupsrat of France puldkly express-
ed similar sentiments on various oceasionhand spoke decisive-
ly in the saiue tune to the Imperial Geaerals, whom the for-
tune of war had made his prisoners.
Confiding to these deelaiarions, and filled with the most
ismeat desire to remove the impending danger from tkp nsei
tropoik Vienna, so dear to his heart, and to avert hem his
subjelle in general the distresses of piutratlidil vrarfairs,
Majesty dispatched his Field-Ntarshat-Lieuenant, Count Von

Ginlay, bathe bead-qoarres of the Fr:och F.mperor, to ob-
tain a oehfirmation of thew pacific sentiment,; to hear whit
*restores the Emperor Nipoleen would make on this OCCd.
✓ob, :Ad so treat for an armistice, as a prepaiitire to a general
negociation for Peace.
" The hopes of His Majesty were dietpriinted as the
bars of an armistice of a taw weeks only, the Emperor 01

" That the Allied hoops shall retina lo rieir er,-wf iee
urbanise, that the Hungarian insurreitiow shall be

up to the French armies.
" All turope will be sensible of the contradiction bower,

" By this fist step, Hit Majesty the Emperor and Xing has
fulfilled a sacred duty of his heart.
" Ent His Majesty thinks that he should have comp.,.

great people, and the highest interests of the mete, both With
cotemperarive and with posterity, if, reps dues of hi. high

if His Majesty desired peace. fie dthireil it with ardour and
with sincerity but never can he, never will lie plunge himself
Into a state of defencelessness, which would subject him and
his people to the despotic will of a powerful enemy.
" Under such ckeitm,taneet, his Majesty has no alternative,
bat to unite the great and still unconquered resources
which he possesses in the hearts, in the opulence, is the fide-
lite, and the energy of his people, with the yet undieunished
force of his high Allies and friends, the Emperor of Russo,
and the King of Prus.ia, and to continue in this firm and cor-
dial union, tit the Emperor of France, rith that moderation,
which is the Hired laurel in the wreath pf a vest Monarch,
consents to terms of peace, that require not the sacrifice of
stational honour, and the independence of a great State."

General Kutusow, who, after the affair At St,

Polton, had passed the Danube at Krems, found
on the left bank a column of 10,000 French. under
the command of Marei.hal Monier, who opposed
him. The Russians immediately surrounded the
enemy's van, but were repulsed. They soon re-
covered the advantage. About 6,000 French were
left upon the field of battle. and the remainder
threw tbermelves into the Cale of Durrenstein
tcJebrared in history as the place of cadtivity of
Richard Coeur de Lion), where they capitulated.
Four pieces of cannon, ti standards, and 96 officers
fell into the hands of the vi&orious Russians.—
M.irechal Monier is among the killed.
Prince Murat, on his arrival at Vienna, first took

Our Court Gazette, of this eLiy, contains the fol-
lowing ulicial supplement :
A courier, who arrived nn -14 14th, from Count
ICutusetw, the Commander in-Chief of the
forces, brought to His Majesty the Loyeror and

King. the joyful intelligence of a complete 'vinery
gained between Stein and Weisskirchen, at Krems
over the division of the enemy conslUaed by Marc.
chal Mortier.
The following particulars are estraßad from the
account drawn upon the field of battle:
On the 9th of Novemb,r the Russian army cross
ed the Danube. Their rear was harassed by the
enemy as far as Mautetn, and the General resolved
to withdraw them in the night between the 9th
and 10th, to the left shore of the Danube, and to
burn the bridge. This was th? more necessary, as
certain information had heen received. that the ene-
my had repaired the bridge at Lintz, and had al-
ready marched a division to the hither shore of the
Danube.

At noon, on the I Oth, the enemy approached the
adv.tnced posts, stationed at Dierstein, which they
overpowered, and drove back along the Danube.
from Weisskirchen to Stein ; and it was with diffi-
culty, that, when night came on, the army WAS able
to maintain its position on the heights of Stein.
It was therefore resolved to attack the entmy on
the morning of the 1 Ith. in three columns, as well
as the roads through the vineyards would permit,
and to cut off' his retreat at Weisskirchen, whey,•
he had coliedted some shipping.
The most complete success crowned this resolu-
tion, ezecutel with equal prudence, fortitude, An
bravery. The enemy was rotated ; and those rf his
division, who were enable to save themselves in the
ships, were killed r'r taken n•ii oilers. The number
of the former cannot yet be stated with precision ;

On the 12th the French troops entered Vienna ;
20,000 men were stationed in the suburbs, and
5,000 in the city. They have made great -equisi-
tions of wine and cloth, and demanded 40,000 ra..
Hors. The Hungarian Magnates, ?snidest at Vienna,
were immediately eurrimoned to repair to that city,
under the threat of hating their properry confiscated.

Arms and accoutrements, valued at several
millions of guilders, had been left behind, at Vienna.
All theses to which, however, belong only 25,000
muskets. are now in the hands of the Fee:mh.

destroyed. Prince Murat, and Marechal Lannes,
have crossed the Danube, with thcir troops, and are
advancing, towards Brunn.

Cvneral Mack, and another general, have been
eondaeled to *fileresienstadt.

For these five or six days no intelligence has been
received from General Meerveldt. It was only
known, that he had retreated, with lt,ooo men, to
the mot.ntains of Lov.cr Austria, with the intention

of prnce,...:ing, probably, to Styria or Hungary.
He adopted the latter measure, and wok, with some

On the 9th, at mid-day, we received intelligence
that it was impossible to oppose further the march
of a nnmerons enemy which was advancing towards
the city, without running the risque of eaprising the
capital. In consequent*, a deputation of seven pet.
sons,vrith the Prince of Zinzendorf, set out from this
at 7 o'clock at night, to recommend the city to the
generosity of the conqueror, and to make, if possible,
some conditions. The first point which the depu-
tation was charged to demand WAS an Armistice of
48 hours, in order that the city might make pre.
parations to receive the French troops. This demand
was granted.—ln the night, the Austrian troops re.
tired beyond the Danube, an-1, on the morning of the
10th, the citizens took possession of all the posts
In the afternoon of the 11th, the deputation re.
turned from the French camp, and announced
that perfect security was promised to the city,
and that no Frenchmen would be allowe i to enter
it before the day of the general entry, without as
especial permissi• s from Prince Murat. At length.
on the night of the Itch, the armistice expired, and
this day, at one o'clock, the French entered the
city. In the course of the afternoon, 1,500 cavalry
passed through it on their way. it is said, to Meravia,
We are assured, that another corps is going to

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY. Dccctiss• 4.

The four Hamburgh Mails due arrived yester-
day, with letters and P.Ters to the 276 last.—
Their contents are of great importance. We stated
yesterday, that the a&ion at St. Polten on the 9th,
was more serious than the French aCCOURt4 had re-
presented it. The French lost in it 6000 men.
The loss, however, did not stop their progress, and
they advanced 'Ton Vienna. That city, apprised
of their approach, sent a deputation of seven per-
sons, with the Prince of ZINZANDORP at their
head, on the night of the 9th, to BON AP ARTS:,
to implore his generosity in favour of the city,
and demand an armistice of 45 hours, in or-
der to prepare for the reception of the French
troops. This demand was granted, and the ar-
mistice having expired on the night of the Ilth,
the French entered Vienna on the 12th. Twenty
thousand men were stationed in the suburbs, and
5.000 und a. Prince NIURA T. in the city. Botta-
PART& had not entered that capital on the 12th,
having es'ahlished his head-quarters at Burkersdorf,
at a distance of about nine English miles. Upon
this event hung the destinies of Europe. It has
pleased Providence, we trust, to have decided in her
favour. Foe a moment the constancy of VRANCIS
yielded to misfortune, and his tender affeaion for
his capital prevailed over his prudence. He sent
Grunt GIRL* Y to 800 apaars, with a proposal for
an a, misrice, but the Corsican, intoxicated with his
success, demanded extravagant terms. The Easem-
ent, in ! is Manifesto says, that as a basis of a truce,
for a few weeks, the Corsican demanded that the Al-
lies should be sent home ; that the Hungarian levy
shialld be dish old id; and that Venice and the Tyrol
should be surrendersd to the French troops. These
degrading terms, amounting to little less than the
silestruOion of the Austrian Monarchy, were nobly
refused The Exegetes, with a spirit and forti-
tude, that must command universal admiration,
and inspire all Europe with confidence in his cause,
gave op his capital to the enemy, and Boa •r ass
lost the glorious golden opportuni,y, of diaating
Loss to the Continent, from the Throne of the
C &SA as. After the battle of Sr. Polten, on the 9th,
it appears, that the Austro.Rossian army separated,
and the Russians, under General Koresow, grossed
the Danube, on their march to Krems, having
broken down the bridge behind them, to prevent
the French from harraubtg their rear. This pre-
caution was the more necessary, as Krousow spe-
culated upon encountering the French division.
ander Marshal MOILTILR, which had previously
crossed the Danube, at l.in•z, and manoeuvred, as
we stated in a former paper, on die left bank of that
tie-r. On the 10,h, as AUTUAUW foresaw, MOR-
Titlt's division came up with him, and drove in h s
outposts, with such impetuosity, it WAS with diffi-
culty the hnssians sustained themselves upr.o the
heights of Stein. On the morning of the 11th, the
Russians, In their turn, attacked the French, and
obtained a complete victory. Six thousand were
killed, and between two and three thousand threw
themselves into the castle of Durriensteiss, where
they capitulated. The remaining few escaped in
boats, across the Danube ; MORTIRA is supposed to
be among the killed. The loss of the Russians is
comparatively small. Field-Marshal Schott/7, an
excellent Officer, we are concerned to state, was
mortally wounded, and died on the following day
After the battle of St. Polten, the Austrian army
fell back on Vienna ; and the proposal for an armis-
tice having failed, they, on the 11th, left that city,
and crossed the Danube, probably in the direjion
of 13runn, to which the Imperial Court had with-
draws. The corps of MURAT And Lames, which
entered Vienna on the igth, followed the same
course. We hays, however, strong grounds of
hope, that the French have not been able to make
any considerable progress on the North side of the
Danube. KUTUSON had formed a jundtioo with
the second Russian division, under General Btu-
movoris ; and Pt ince Licntsmsretss was ap-
pointed to the command of the whole Austro-
Russian force, which appears to have taken a posi-
tion near Btuon. The report of the death of the
Archduke CUA REIS, may be now set down as
an impudent fabrication. 1 hat gallant and
sk.lful General had advanced to Laybach, in the
centre of Carniola, with an unbroken army._
He has, of course, got the start of the French
force that was advancing, to Clagenturt to inter-
cept him; and the most sangvin hops near now he
e. tertained, that he wiit be able to elica his retreat.
The Paris Papers *hie.: we have received, are to

this, the Defendant vent to toe Plaintiff's in, !her.
and, finding he could n:w get him back. he told
her, that her son t' had emhezzl el his property, w s
living on his property, and bought his cloto is with
his money." Not satisfied with this, he also went
to Mr. Waterhouse, a gentleman, wi h whom as
Plaintiff had formerly ived, and who was his par •-
cular Irk ..1; he here addle 1 to his other aspersions
on the young man's charades., that he dad robbed
him ;" that " he was a thief. and he could by no
means give him'a

would call on him next day, and he wl.uld rep,at

Deiendant since exhibited a charge f felony against
him, before the Magist-ases at Bova-street ; and,
by sera apron, contrived to have a waistcoat of ois
