BAItLE OF AUSTERLITZ.

_ .
ACC-OUST OF THE BATTLE OF AUST ERLITZ, BY AN

AUSTRIAN dFFIbER..

(Continued from our Paper of Aug.

ON the 2clofDecember,after midnight, the Gene-
rats-of-the Austra-Russian Army-received" tli-e-T.Cri
for attacking the French Army. But the vague no-
tions which...prpvailed with .regard. to its position,
though at no greater .distance than a few musquet
shot,— must have necessarily imparted the sane
vagueness to the suppositions' on which that plan '
was formed. On the precedißit evening a move-.
merit had been Observed on the left of the Enemy ;
it was not known that this was caused by the arri;.'
Val of .Marshal BERNADOTTE. It. was supppsed
that the Enemy had weakened their Centre to. rein-
force their left: Several lines ,of smoke; Which
were at, that time observed between Tura,',
'and the ponds behind Sokohiitz and Kobelnitz, and
others near Czernottz, induced, a belief that the
French. supported their _left by these ponds, and
had placed a reserve behind. Tire left of the Com-
bined Army outflanked the right of the French. It
was supposed that, by passing the defile of Sokol-,
nitz and li.obelnitz, the right of the Enemy would.
be turned, and that then the attack might be ex-
tended to the plain, between Schlapanitz and the
wood of Turas, while the defiles, of Schlapanitz
and Bellowitz_. would thus be avoided, which;- it
was belieVed, covered the front of the Eneinv
position: The 'french Army was then to be attack-
ed on its right flank, against which large masses .
,were to be brought.; this movement was to be.
executed with vigour and rapidity;` the valley be-
tween Tellnitz and Sokolniti was to 'be cleared with
Celerity ;, the right of the Allies, where were the
cavalry of,Prince Join` of Lichtenstein, and the ad.;
Vanced guard of Princ,. BAoliA.Tiiiot:l, was to cover
this movement ;. .the, first of these Generals 'on
thesplain between Krug and Schlapanitz, and the se-
cond by proteaing thehody of cavalry, and fOrtify,
ing with artillery the heightS between Dwaroschua
and the'tavern of the LeScli. For these objeCis, the
five -columns received orders to march in the
lowing manner
First column, Lieutenant-General DocirtoitoW;
tWenty-fbui Rnssian battalions -; from the heights
of Hortieradeck, by .AUjeSt, to Tellniti. After hav-'
ing passedthis village and the defile; the column was
to march to• the right, towards the pond!, to the elm;
in6nCe a'Lllead of the second column.
• Second' -column, Lieutenant-General LANGE 4
Roui, eighteeri'Russian battalions; from the heights
of Pratzea, marching, like the first, by its left, it
Was to force the valley between Sokolnitz and
Tellnitz,". 'and. then to form line with the first co-
lumn.

Third column, Lieutenant General PaYBYS.i
ZEWSKY ; eighteen Russian battalions ; to march
from the heights of Pratzen, also on its left, near
to the Castle of ' Sokelnitz, from the place where
the head of the three columns, between Sokolnitz,
and the, ponds in the rear, were to advance to the
ponds of-Kobeltiitz
_ .

Fourth column, Lieutenant=General /COLLO'.
WRATH ; consisting of twenty-seven battalions, of-
which. fifteen were A-ustrian ; from the heights be-
hind the third column by its left, it was to pass,
the 6ame'valley and the ponds of Kobelnitz, and
to form line with the heads of the' three other co,
In inn s.'

'The advanced guard Of M. KIENMAYER was with
its infantry to proteet the movements of the first co
lumn, in such a way that was to be thus reinforced
by five Austrian battalions, and was thus 'to consist
of twenty-nine battalions.
The heads of these four columns- were to'form
one large front; and four battalions 'of the first to
occupy the wood of Turas. The remainder of that
column; and all the others were then to, march for-
ward between that wood and Schlapanitz, and td.
attack in large masses the infantry of the Enemy's
right, while three battalions of the fourth. column.
were to be occupied in carrying the Village Cf.
Schlapanitz.
Fifth colUmn, Lieutenant-General-Prince JoHNi
of Lichtenstein ; twenty-six- squadrons : to march
from:the foot of the height -behind the third column;
between blasowiti and Kurg, to 'proted the forma=
tion and march of the columns to the right, and then
to March to the plain between Krug and the. tavern
of Lesch, as has been
.already. said.
The advanced guard of Lieutenant-General Prince
BA-GILATIIION, twelve battalions, forty
,squadrons,
was to' support itself in its pOsition, and to gain the
heights between Dwaroschua and the tavern of
.Leseli, in Order to place their, large batteries of arl
tillery.
The corps of reserve of the Archduke CONTAN..
TINE ten battalions, eighteen squadrons. - From'
the heights before Austerlitz, behind Blasdwitz and
Krug, it was to give support to the cavalry of Prince .
JOHN of Lichtenstein, and to the corps of Prince
BAdRATIIION.. '

The fate of the day was made to depend on the
rapidity of the attack of our left, and on the falling,
back of thelight.of the Enemy on his left. It was
supposed that thebattle would not be decisive tinless
Prince SAGRA:rxims- was able to oppose an obstinate •
resistance to the attacks which
.the French might .
dire& against him; and the cavalry of the Prince of
LicHTENszErN were ordered to' fall upon those
movements of the Enemy which attempted to•cut
Off the right of that General.
The cavalry of General KIENMAYER, after the
first Column should have passed the defile of Tell-
nitz, was to cover beyond that defile the left-of that
column, and to march between Turas. and Swarza,
keeping in view the point of the convent of Reygiin.
It was ordered in this plan, that provided the
four cohthuis. were' sufficiently fortunate to advance'
to
,the causeway between Latein and Bellowipz, and
to drive back the Enemy, even into the mountains.

TEIURSDAY, !AUGUST 21, 1806.

We last night received Pa: is Papers to the 14th
inst. The French Government have at length
thought proper to make a communication to the
people of France on the subje& of the Negotiations
p_aiding- with this Country ; but from the manner in
which t hat corn: nunication is made, there appears very
little reason to expeta-that these Negotiations will end
in a Peace. The Moniteur,: after stating that Mr.
Fos and several Members of the Council are desirous
of Peace, adds, that Negotiations were commenced
in March last, that they were almost matured, and
that a Treaty of Peace was on the point of being
signed. It then continues—" But the severe in-
disposition of Mr. Fox, arid his absence from the
Council, have rendered every thing uncertain, and
have replunged these important interests - in the
labyrinths of diplomatic chicane, in abstrations and
casuistry." It is evident, from this angry language,
that the British Ministry have, in the course of this
Negotiation, refused to make concessions incompa-
tible with the interest and honour of their Country,
and therefore they are accused of diplomatic chicane.
But the Moniteur also takes great pains to insi-
nuate, that there is a diVision of opinion in the Bri-
tish Cabinet upon the subject of Peace. Mr. Fox,
Lord ERSKINE, Lord MOIRA, Lord HENRY PETTY,
Lord HOWICK, and Mr. SIIEtIIDAN (who is placed
in the Cabinet), are represented as wishing for
Peace.. Lord GRENVILLE and the remainder of the
Cabinet are therefore, by implication, accused of
involving the Negotiation in "in labyrinths of
chicane, in abstra&ions, and in casuistry."—
We are persuaded that Mr. Fox is as little entitled to
the compliment which the Moniteur is disposed to
pay him, for, being willing to sign a Peace that
would be agreeable to France,, as Lord -GREN-
VILLE is deserving of the charge of embarrassing
the Negotiation by chicanery and casuistry. We
are not, however, surprised that the French Govern-
ment should be extremely anxious to throw the
whole of the blame of continuing the 'War upon the
British Cabinet. The People of France are, it is
web known, extremely desirous of a Peace with
this Country; they are in general reduced by the
total ;tagnation of trade to a ct.'geee of almost un-
exampled misery ; add they know that as long
as the War with Great Britain continues, their
commereecannot revive. The disappointment which
they will therefore feel at the rupture of the Nego-
tiation must be severe; and we doubt whether all
the sophistry of the Moniteur will reconcile
them to the continuance of the W:.r. The.
Moniteur, however, as a kind of set-off for the un-
pleasant information which it conveys respeaing the
Negotiations with En,glnl, contains many articles
which the people of France will consider as satisfac-
tory ; though some of them, we suspeel, are fabri-
cated for the occasion, and others very much exag-
gerated.

It is stated that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has given
his concurrence to the Confederation of the Rhine--,-
that he has ackno Aedged JOSEPH King of the Two
Sicilies—that the King of PR [I3S/A has also acknow-
ledged King JOSEPH, and has sent Ministers to all
lioxitemiTes newly-created Sovereigns, and that he
has expressed his concurrence in the formation of the
League of the Rhine—and finally, that the Treaty be-
tv, en France -and Russia was to be ratified at St.
Petersburgh on the 15th inst.—We presume that day
was chosen, because it is BONAPARTE'S Birth-day.
The other articles in these Papers are of considerable
importance. The probability of a league being
formed in the North of Europe, under the auspices
of Russia, is again mentioned ; but, for the reasons
we have before given, we' think it an event very
unlikely to take place : indeed, it is stated that Hesse

AMONG the changes which French ambition and
injustice are said to he projefting, is, the approach-
ing dismemberment of the Spanish Monarchy in
favour of that odious Upstart the PRINCE of PEACE.
We lately stated, that the degraded King of SPAIN
was soon to he deprived of the fine provinces
of Biscay,' Navarre, and Catalonia ; and it is con-
fidently rumoured that these provinces, and one
half of Arragon, are to be formed into a new
Monarchy, of which this same Upstart PitiNce
of PEACE is to be constituted the Sovereign, in re-
compense for all the sacrifices which he has
obliged his Master to make in favour of France.
The Spanish Monarch, however, is to have as a
compensation for these deprivations, the Kingdom.
of Portugal, which France is speedily to acquire,
and generously to bestow.

YESTERDAY the Funds again experienced a consi-
derable depression, and it was again confidently re-
ported that the Negotiation bad been broken off,
and that Lord LAUDERDALE was on his return
home.— This report was evidently fabricated to
answer the purpose of the moment (it being
settling day in Onanium); but it is impossible, after
reading the article in the Moniteur, to entertain any
very sanguine expectations that the NegotiatiOns
will terminate in Peace.

WE understand that, Lord HOLLAND and Lord
AUCKLAND have been appointed to treat with
Messrs. PINCKNEY and Moratou respecting the
differences which have occurred betweea this Coun,
try and Amer ica.

Mr. Fox has passed nrough a refreshing night,
and is to-day much better. He is certainly to leave
town in a• day or two, but only to a small distance,
in order that he may be at hand to lend his assistance
in whatever may occur in the progress of the pend-
ing
Negotiations.
Yesterday -the son of General Fox, a youth about
14 years of age, was introduced to his uncle, Mr.
Secretary Fox, by his tutor.
Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE, Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, Lady
ELY, Count MUNSTER, General Frrißoy, and Col.
TAYLOR, rode in 'Windsor Great Park, and returned
at twelve o'clock.
Her MAJESTY, Princess ELIZABETH, and the
Marchioness of BATH, took an airing in her MA-
JESTY'S barouche to Maidenhead, through Bray-
wick.

The Marchioness of BATH arrived at Windsor on
Tuesday night, on a visit to their MAJESTIES.
Yesterday the PRINCE dined with the Duke and
Duchess of Yoak, at Oatlands. The Duke of
YORK transaaed business at his Otfice in the morn-
ing, and left town about three o'clock to receive his
Royal Brother.

Yesterday was the fifth payment day for Om-
nium, when there was an uncommon bustle at the
Stock Exchange. Since the last ins;alment, Urn-
nium has been purchased at 13 per cent. premium,
and has fallen subsequently so low as 4L making a
variation of about 8i per cent. In consequence of
the extraordinary fiuCtuations, it was apprehended
that a number of failures would be announced in
the course pt yesterday ; but not morn than three
defaulters were declared, and those of minor im-
portance.

The valuable ecclesiastical preferments vacant
by the promotion of Dean WARBURTON to the
See of Limerick, have been apportioned between
the Rev. Mr. Dawson, brother of the Member for
Monaghan ; the Rev. Mr. PONSONBY (nephew of
the LORD CrrANCELLOR) ; and the Rev. B. Dun-
LEY, Chancellor of the Cathedral of Ferns, &c.—
Dub. Even. Post.

One of the complaints in The MoniteNr is, that
any intercourse should be kept up with DESSA LINES ;
but surely he has as much right to be Etnperor of
Hayti as BONAPARTE has to be Emperor of France.
If the present Negotiations should happen to. end in
Peace, we mai reasonably expett, upon the same
principle, that the Haytiaiz Gazette will contain a
complaint against us for carrying on any intercourse
with BONAPARTE.

Mr. BRAITHWAITE says, " that the Belle who de-
scended with him in the diving-machine did not
move her clapper during the forty minutes they were
under water."

Cassel has joined in the Confederation of the Rhine,
ana the example will, we have no doubt, be very
generally followed.

Tne accounts from Italy are of a very interesting
nature ; and though the FAtiich Papers do not chuse
to be very explicit upon the subject, there is every
reason to believe that the R alists of Calabria, as-
sisted by, the English, nave no: only been able to
resist the attacks of the French, but have compelled
titeio to retire.

During the American war, whilst Col. BuilooyNE
commanded in Cork, he saw a corpulent Soldier
among the spectators, on the parade, whom he ad-
dressed as fiAlows: " Who are you, Sir ? You must
be drilled twice a day to bring down your car/itt/tit:7z.
13,Th0 ai-e you, Sir?" " Please your Honour re-
plied Pat, " I am the skeleton of the .sth Reg'iment
of Foot, who has just marched over from America."
The fad was so, for such was the carnage of that
disastrous war, that only this fit Soldier a nd Capt.
WEBB, returned to Europe, out of a full Regiment
landed in America.

From the FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS.

(TRO:l THE MONITLUit OP AUGUST 13.)

•' We estee:n ourselves fortunate in having ob-
tained the information necessary to put the Public
on their guard against the rumours which are at pre-
sent in circulation, and which we are authorised to
Communicate.

" All the difficulties which existed in Germany
have been removed. Austria has acknowledged the
Confederation of the Rhine; and the title of Em-
peror of Austria' confers upon this House a title
equal to those of other Imperial Houses.
" Prussia has acknowledged the Confederation of
the Rhine, as well as the late arrangements in Ger-

many.
" His Majesty the KING of PIWSsIA has appointed
M. DE HUMBOLDT his Minister Plenipotentiary to
Naples. He has also appointed Ministers to the
King of HOLLAND, and to the Grand Duke of
CLEVES and BERG.
" The Emperor of AUSTRIA has also acknow-
ledged the King of the Two SIC/LIES.
" The orders are preparing for the Staff for the
return of the Grand Army; and the Mtes, on ac-
count of the Peace, will take place at the end of
September, as we before mentioned.
" The affairs of the Continent are in that state of
arrangement at present, that it may look to perma-
nent tranquillity. Gold and corruption would be
sown in vain : there is not a Prince who would be
willing to sell the blood of his subje&s.
The ratifications of the Treaty of Peace with
Russia will be exchanged at St. Petersburgh on the
13th instant, and all the information which has been
lately received from that great Capital furnishes
fresh proofs of the pacific disposition of the Emperor
ALEXANDER, and of his desire to contribute to the
General Peace.
" In England, the People appear to wish for Peace.
Mr. Fox, and a great number of the Council, among
whom are Mr. ERSKINE, Lord H. PETTY, Lord
Howtcx, Lord Motaa., and Mr. SHERIDAN, seem
to be. of the same inclination. The Negotiations,
begun in the month of March, were almost Mature ;
Peace itself, according to report, was on the point of
being signed. But the severe indisposition of Mr.
Fox, and his absence from Council, have rendered
every thing uncertain, and have re-plunged these
important interests in
.the labyrinth of diplomatic
chicane, in abstratiions, and cavistry. Mr. Fox ap-
pears to labour under a con-pli.:ated disorder. The
latest intelligence from Lo: do 1 mentions, that he
has undergone several operations, which have placed
his life out of danger, but which will oblige him to
remain quiet for. some time.'.'-
PARIS, AUG. i I.—The English, it is said, have
landed in Calabria to the number of 12,000; they
have been joined by the Insurgents.
[FROM THE JOURNAL DU COMMERCE.]
" PARIS, AUG. le.—The fabricators of news
(says, this day, one of our Journals) have hugged
themselves for some days, and every dreamer or spe-
culator has fashioned his tale according to his ima-

gination or his interest. •
" The French Armies have been put in motion
against Austria and Prussia, and God knows all that
has been rumoured about these. two Powers ; but
what has not been said is, that the stridest amity
unites France and Prussia; that the difficulties which
were raised between France and Austria, on the
subjea of the evacuation of Cataro, are smoothed
by the Treaty of Peace concluded with Russia ; and
that the Confederation of the Rhine is this eay
acknowledged by the Emperor of Austria, and by
all the German Princes.
" Spain having thought fit to recruit her Army,
and France having caused some troops to approach
the Pyrenees, it has been said that there was a mis-
understanding between these two Powers. But
what has not been said is, that they are more than
ever united for the common cause of the liberty of
the seas.

" The Negotiations with England have given oc-
casion to the most extravagant combinations. Ac-
carding to some, a French Army will be direated,
'.and even is so already, against Poland, there to
crown a King in concert with a great Power. Ac-
cording to others, the British Fleets, united with
the French, will go to attack the Americans, &c.
In short, it had been said, that Peace bad been con-
cluded, but that the accomplishment of these grand
designs required that it should remain a mystery.
Some Journals have published that the Plenipo-
tentiaries had already been presented to his Ma-
-
jesty ; but what has not been said is, that though
the Negotiations with England, began in March,
have had time to acquire sufficient maturity, yet the.
most deNtrous fabricators of conjeaures know not
yet how to conjeEture their result. The disposi-
tions' of France are constant ; those of the Enemy
depend on a state of health or of sickness, on the
preservation or fall of the Minister who holds the
thread; of the policy of England.

" But if that celebrated man were to die, and if
his death should continue to oppre s the two na-
tions with the calamities of war for some yea
longer, never would any death cause greater regret ;
never would there be a finer funeral oration for any

statesman."
CALAIS, Aua. 9.—The author of an article in
your Journal of the 7th, relative to the landing
of Lord LAUDERDALE, departed from the truth in
saying, that " the Frigate which brought him sa.
luted the town with twenty-one guns, and that
it was returned by a salute of an equal number."----
On this occasion, the usual ceremonial between
friendly Nations, and those who are not yet so,
was not confounded, a ceremonial to which the
Civil and Military Authorities entirely conformed..
The Frigate fired fifteen guns at the moment when
Lord LAUDERDALE entered the boat to come ashore.
Not a grain of powder was exploded, either for
the Frigate or for the Envoy ; but Lord LAUDER.
DALE was received with that propriety and those
attentions which may be manifested, without im.
plicating any one, to a person charged with a Mis-
sion which permits us to conceive the hope of ap-
proaching Peace.—(Journal du Commerce)
FRANKFORTi AUG. 7.—The following details re.
spe&ing the changes which are taking place in Ger-
many are given as authentic :
All the Princes, Intermediate Counts, and other
States of the Empire, who are not named in the Act
of Federation, and whose Possessions join, or are
included within those of the Princes preserved, are
wholly to lose their territorial superiority ; that is
to say, the right of having troops, of having tribur.
nals dependent on them, the privileges of a mint, of
having political agents ; in one word, they are to be
deprived of sovereignty according to the true mean-
, ing of the word.
It is said, that the King of Prussia, in recogniz-
ing these changes. in the Constitutions of Southern
Germany, reserves to himself a power.of establish-
ing-a similar league (in the North) of what was for.
merly called the Empire.. Thus will this Constitu-
tion, which has been so long invaded, wholly dis-
appear, and the decline of which is only so gentle,
because the measures which are taking at this day
were preceded by the period of its fall.
. Baron CJESAII, Prussian Minister to his Majesty
the King of Holland, arrived in this city the day be-
fore yesterday.
BERLIN, ituo. 2.--Several Couriers have arrived
from St. Petersburg!) within these two days, and it
is hoped that the mediation of Russia will put an
end to that state of uncertainty in which we are with
resped to Sweden. In the mean time the blockade
of our ports is continued with excessive rigour.
The Eledtor of Hesse is about to accede to the
Confederation of the Rhine. This Prince will join
the force of the union with upwards of 20,000 met,
NAPLES, JULY 23.—The English have taken a
position on the shore of St. Eupnemia. The
sion of Gen. ReoNlett occupies Catanzaro and all
the posh in the farther calaoria ; and he only waits.
for the junction of the troops from Apulia to attack
the enemy, and drive them into the sea.
NAPLES, JULY 24. —ENtraordinary necessities
sometimes call for the employm'ent of measures that
are extraordinary, but always :oeilded on justice and
good faith. Existing circumstances have forced his
Majesty to have recourse • to a !oars of 1,200,Q00
ducats, at
,5 per cent. interest, mortgaged on pro.
perty of the Jesuits to the amount of a million and
a half, The lenders will receive from the Minister
of Finance a note, which may be employed in the
acquisition of the 'eboveementioned property, and
