LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, NoVIMsIR 5.

The KING has been pleased to order a writ to be
issued under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, for summoning the
I. Right HOD. ALLIANDLA HAMILTON (commonly
called Marquis of DOUGLAS and CLTDLSOALI)
up to the House of Peers. by the style and title of
Baron of Dutton, in the County of Chester.
Ihe Kt G has been pleased to grant the dignity
of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, to the Right Hon. AUCNISALD
Earl of Cam tug, and the heirs male of 'his body,
lawfully begotten. by the name, stile, and tide of
Ltron All SA. of Ailsa, in die county of Ayr.
The KING has been pleased to grant the dig.
niry of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain aid Ireland, to the Right Honourable Jou*
Earl or BPISAIS and the heirs mole of
his ►ody, lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and
title of Baron B AAAAAAA of Taymonth Castle.
in the County of Perth.—(Garele;).

It will be seen. in our ucount of the Kle&ion for
the Borough of Southwark, that Mr. Tiannav has
proved an unsuccessful Carsdidste.

We yesterday gave the substance of the three
Hamburgh Mails, arrived on Monday night, the
last of which became due on Sunday, and also an-
nounced the receipt of Dutch Papers to the Ist,
containing some details of military operatloos.
Those details consist of four Bulletins of the Grand
Army, from the 6th to the 9th, inclusive, so unim-
portant, that the Meabcor has not condescended to
publish them ; and the Dutch Papers acknowledge
the receipt of four more, so the 13th, inclusive,
which they do not notice. We may therefore
presume, that they are still less impotent than
the preceding numbers, or admit of inferences
not very favourable to the slam of a a.
The point open Thies these &Betio lay the great-
est stress, is the surrender of Erfurt ; but that
event has not even the recoranstedatios of novelty.
Thu surrender of Matt was ainnanucadt as a so•
rollary to the vinery of the 14th ; lout it is well
known, that the 7,000 Prussian prisoners made there,
have been since liberated by a Prussian detachment,
and that the Fauna have only gained the posses-
sion of the place. Oa the 17th, BOP AAAAA a
bad scarcely dared to move a mile from the scene
of salon on the 14th. The country was open be-
hind him. The Prussian army, he says, was anni-
hilated. After the viaory at Ulm, be flew to Au-
sterlitz. If be has not followed the same course in
the present war, and Mown to Magdeburgh, we
must presume that the day of the 14th, was a dear
bought viftory. He could not have wanted say hint
from his vanity to follow up his conquest, and yet
we find him at Weimar on the 17th, almost in view
of the scene of anion on the 14th. Bon AAAAA a would
am banes these three precious days for nothing.
We, thessfora, meat attribute his inertness to his in-
ability so take advantage of them. It may be pre-
sumed that this eosin& is the result of a laudable
caution ; that he is afraid to advance too far, lest
Austria should fall upon his rear. Prussia nil
mourn, in sackcloth and ashes, her negleft of
this past in the leis war against Austria ; and
Bort AAAAAA mar -Mr —that Austria, taught br
experience, w.ll avail herself of the advantage.
For this reason, he has probably remained three
days sedentary at Weimar. It, indeed, any
other evidence were necessary to prove this case,
we might refer to Bun. 's urgent demands
fur reinforcements. The head-quarters of the
Dutch army, under King Louis, were, on the
30th, at Paderboin, on its march to join him.—
Reinforcements (turn Italy were also upon their
march for the same purpose. Looking at the state
of the public mind in Holland and Naples, we can-
not suppose that he should withdraw a single
soLlier from either of these points, unless in case of
extremity. Had his lass in the haute of the 14th
be:n so small, and that of Prussia so great, as the
Duch and French accounts stated, these succours
could not, be necessary. Su late as the e4th, the
kronar head quarters were at Dessau, and the
Prussian army, after much annoyance in its retreat,
is said to have cnaccatrivol iucU, to the amount of

between 40 sui 30,000 Men, between Brunswick
and Magdeburygh. where a battle was expeard. A
Russian division is said to have arrived at Warsaw,
and some troops of that nation are said to have
even reached Custrin on the 25th, at which dive
the King and Queen of Pat/SSI4 were at that
place. It is, however, to, probable, that the
Dutch and Grand Army must have united before
the Russians could arrive in great force upon the
Theatre of war.—lt is also to be considered, that
Saxony and Brunswick have been detached from
Prussia : and whether, under such circumstances,
she has any other course to panne but a negotiation
for peace with France.

His MASISYY is oxpcated in town this day.

from her anchors, and drove on the rocks at the
West Hoe ; in about three hours she became
a complete wreck, and the cargo floated from her
and drifted along the shore, wheie every nivans are
used to save it ; but the sea runs so vety high. that
it is attended with great difficulty and risk, and one
man lost his life in the att-mpt this day at noon :
the crew of the vessel were all providentially saved
by the exertions of the people on the sh le. v
