him. As he could not be followed by every eye in
the dreadful confusion, the greatest anxiety pre-
vailed in the Austro-Russian army, for his safety,
during the whole of the day. When assured that
he was safe, they forget their wounds and their
fatigue, and indulged in the most enthusiastic
transports. Torrents of blood flowed in the field
this day. The accounts do not state, that either
party obtained any advantage. Night only sepa-
rated the combatants.
On the 4th, the battle was renewed again, with
unabated fury. The Emperor AI.KIAAULR again
headed his troops, animating them by his voice and
heroic example. He charged the enemy, exclaim.

general cry of the whole. Army. The Russians
proved by their deeds, that they well understood its
meaning. 03 this dal►, the regiment of Guards,
under the command of the Archduke CONSTAN-

degree. The Austrians also fought as on the pre-
ceding days, with undaunted bravery. \'itory at
length crowned the courage and perseverance of the
Allies. The French, about noon, began to retreat,
and the Allies resumed their former position, near
Austerlitz. The Russians also recovered, on this
day, their artillery, military stores, and the prison-
ers taken from them on the 2d. The loss, in this
dreadful battle, which lasted fur T H EN DAYS AND

MALT, is said to amount to 35,000 men. This, how-
ever, is obviously mere conjecture, founded upon the
length and nature of the action, and the probable
number of the troops engaged. Upon the supposition,
that the aggregate of the two forces, amounted
to 150,000 men, we should not he surprised if the loss
were greater, considering the fury with which they
fought, and that the contest was principally by the
sword and the bayonet. Some reports, indeed.
state the loss of the Russian and Austrian armies
to be at least '20,000 killed and wounded, and that
of the French at 30,000 killed, and 10,000 pri-
soner,, with all their artillery and baggage: terry
add, that BON AP A OTZ himself left the field with
only fifty horse. 'f his last grand attack, which de-
cided the event, is said to have been made by the
Emperor At.exasuet in person, at the head of
30,000 guards and grenadiers.
The*cial accounts of these glorious and im-
portant events had reached Berlin and Ilamburgh.
Lord HA lIROWBY at the one ts.wn„ and Mr. THORN-
TON at the other, together with many other persons,
have sent over the news. Sir Aargau's PAO tT'S dis-
patches were, it is supposed, forwarded by Lord
HAaaowsv, by the hands of Mr. Dor: A I,DION, the
Messenger. Several reports prevailed yesterday,
of military operations, subsequent to this Sth. Some
stated, that the battle was renewed, and continued
on the sth and 6th; and that Bow AeA is Es:, having
experienced a great defeat, within 15 miles of
Vienna. was pursued into that city by the Grand
Duke CONSTANIINF. These, however, are only
speculations; but we trust we are not too sanguine
in thinking them very probable.
The following Bulletin was circulated yesterday
by Government, upon the receipt of the precede.
