LON UON,
WEDNESDAY, NOVallieti 13.

At a late hour last night, we received, iv m-
eans, Path papers to the sd, and Dutch Papers to
the 7th instant. The Aloniteur of the 2.1, contains
the Twelfth Bulletin of the Grand Army. It is
dated Oitober 27. The title taught us to cape&
some account of military operations. We find in it
no charatier or feature of that kind. Prayers. ma-
sic, and theatricals, usurp the place of sieges and
battles. Never was such a farrago of trumpery
served up to a great nation in such a shape. One
would suppose. that B had heard of the
destrisZtion of his ships, colonies. and commerce,
at Trefalgar, and that the dreadful sews had over.

rrhelssithis iiasoa. Oar readers will 'reeolleift.
that it was supposed he would reach the Inn about
the 26th. It affords no not a little satisfitaion to
find, that a Russian division had arrived at Passau
so early as the 16th ; and that the Head-quarters of
General Kutusow were at Brannan about the same
period. Those, therefore, who were alarmed lest
BONAPARTI, having put the army of Prince Foe-
nimann aside, had only to march on to Vienna, may
now dismiss their fears. Indeed, the perusal of the
Twelfth Bulletin must shew, that BONAPARTE
was afraid to pass Munich. The Eleventh Bul-
letin announced his arrival in that city on the
24th ; and the Twelfth Bulletin left him there on
the 27th, without having achieved, in the interval,
any thing which even French gasconade could mag-
nify into any importance. The Meoiteur also con-
tains a letter from Massimo, giving an account
of a battle between him and the Archduke
CHAILLIES, at Verona. It took place ea the tlith
Ottober, and was fought with great obstinacy upon
both sides, from four in the morning until six in the
abernooo. The Austrians, we are assured, were
driven, at the close of the day, from all their posi-
tions, 'frith the loss of 1,200 killed, 1.400 pri-
-oilers, and seven pieces of cannon. In this ob-
stinate engagement, which continued fourteen
hours, we are told the French had only a
few killed, and three hundred wounded ; but
most of them very slightly. The French Am-
, bassador was to leave Vienna on the lid). The

Bavarian and Batavia % Ministers were to talcs their
departure horn that city about the same time. The
French and Dutch Papers coutain some other
article of importance, but the lateness of the hour,
and the length of our extraffs, do not allow us to
indu!ge in farther observations upon them.

The CISCII, Sir RICH aII D STRACH Ald ; the Covr-
ragegx, Captain Las ; the Hero, the Hounnralde
Captain Gaisov ea ; the Rroo/utrvaireire, Captain
HOT ss, and the Santis Margivlllit, Capt. W.
RATU3O2Nt. arrived on Sunday at Plymouth, with
their four prizes. Upwards of 30,000 people as
trembled to witness this glorious sight. Tw.) of the

prizes were dismasted, hot not much injured in their
hulls. It is said, but we knew not upon what au-
thority, that the French squadron had received
orders from Admiral Vii.t.cistuvr, to keep out of
attion, unless the combined fleets should prove
victorious, and that they were not to chase or t 3
bring any English ship to action, but to make the
best of their way to Rochefort or Ferrol. They are
MOJA& be treasure ships, having on board nearly
two millions of money, for the pu• pose of paying
the officers, sailors, Szz. (kr )I;:vit the fleets of
France p- Spain. Tie Gazette of Last night con-
tains an account of the killed and woun.! i. As
we stated in a former Paper, our loss was com-
paratively small-24 killed, and t 1 l wounded.
A letter from Cork, dated Nov. 6, says : Arrived

L'affrinataa frigate, with 22 sail of vessels under c‘m-
toy, from the Leeward Islands. They were put un-
der quarantine. It is reported, that four or tire
vessels of this fleet are lost; among them, the V‘erory,
Capt. Av REA, from Barbadoes to this port. The
temaiader of the Beet parted about 14 days since in
a gale of wind.

Yesterday, the Doke of Cestatat rio, Earl
Citargasi, Lord CASTLICIIIIIIOI4, and Mr. PITT,
had a lonsidtation with the Duke of YORK, at his
Office. His ROYAL HIGHS us, afterwards, had a
public day, and saw a number of Officers.
Lord NELSON, in his last will, expressed a desire
that his body should he interred by the side of his
reverend father, at Burnham Thorpe, siaterr Hi,
MAJESTY eberld be graciouslyleated to direct other-
wise. His Manse v, we understand, has ordered
that his remains shall be buried in St. Paul's.
Admiral, late Captain Eclat' Hativev, of the
Teirteraire, who is said to have fought, mad took a
French and a Spanish ship of the line, in the late
glorious action off Trefalgar, is M. P. fur Essex.
We have been favoured with a Bereasfries Gazette
of the 21st of September, from which we are sorry
to find, that an iosurreition had broken out in the
Surinam Colony Corps of Black Yagers. They
are said to have murdered some of their Officers in
a shocking manner. Apprehensions are entertained
of the Insurgents joining the Bush Negroes. De-
tachments have been sent against them, and General
Hooves was about to go in person.
We understand that it is the intention of Go-
vernment to bestow a medal oa every individual
present in the glorious and ever-memorable action
of the 21st of October ; which mark of distinction is
to be of the same value, quality, and appearance,
to every man ; for, as the same gallantry marked
the conduct of the lowest seaman (ride Admiral
Cot.i.imowooo's Dispatch}, so the rewards, in this
instance, are to be equal.—This badge is to be 4eredi-
tar', as a memento to after-ages of the most signal
viaory ever achieved by British arms, and the
greatest the world ever witnessed. We understand
the Medal is to be thus stamped: Oa one side Lord
NaLsom's Head, with the day on which the anion
was fought: on the reverse, the man's name and
rank who obtained it, with his Lordship's Motto of
qua introit, feral.
