SIR,.
Having received information that the French Fri-
gates in the Port of Cadiz were ready'to put to sea,
the. Hydra and Mozelle were kept close off the Port
for the purpose of watching them narrowly ; the
Squadron about ten leagues off, until the 23d, when
a strong Levant wind began (which still continues),
and had, on the 26th, driven the Squadron as tar to
the westward as Cape St. Mary's. On the 27th, at
nine in the morning, I received a report from the
IVlozelle, that tour li'rench Frigates, and a Brig had
put to sea at nine o'clock the evening before, and
steered westward. I immediately informed the Cap-
tains of the Tigre, Orion, and Unite of the circum
Stance by telegraph, and'dire&ed them to chase to
the N W

The Hydra cut the Brig off from her consorts, and
took her. She is very large, has ports for 20 guns,
and mounts eighteen nine-pounders, with one hun-
dred and thirty men. I inclose a copy of a -Letter

gate's already ntside of us, the Mozelle making the
signal for them at the same moment. I immediately
bore up, intending 'to racer on a parallel with the
Znemy in order to watch their movements, end had
the satisfaction to find we gained on theni; 'at. eleven,
seeing they steered a steady'course, I commenced
firing alarm guns and throwing up rockees, and or-
dered Captain Carden, (whose attention and.assist7
ance has been very great during the short time be
has been under my orders) to, steer West by North,
in order to give your Lotdship.thc inteliigence.
At thirty minutes after two we found. we had
closed the Siiiiarou considerably, in co't.equence of
their having altered their course a point to the;West-',

ten to His. imperial -:Majesty as,follows :7-*
- ". As your Majesty was present at the rattle of
Austerlitz with the ;French on the isothsof Novem,.
ben, 1805, I did not think it necessary to transMit
r: to -your Majesty any account • of; the leading dr.,-
I cumstances of that affair, till I was in a situation to
i' celled -the necessary, information for .a pepicular
details ;Ever since this :ailliir> happened, the con-
' tinual movement of the Troops. has- not permitted
me even yet to cone& the whole ; but; being in
possession of the i greatest part, I seize the oppor-
tunity of sending yoUr.Majesty ;the detail of the
Battle of Austerlitz. After we.had taken, measures
for offensive operations, the advanced guard of our
Army, under Prince. BA;oRATIoN, marched on the
14th of November,_ in three divisions, for Wischau,
then in possession of four of the. Enemy's Regi-
' ments, of Cavalry. One of our divisions took the
high road of Wischau, and the other two Moved.
forward upon its flanks. ' The Enemy, being aware
of the Prince's intention to surround him, mine,
diately evacuated the place.
,Four Squadron's of
Hnssars,,and two Regiments of Cossacks, were im-,
mediately ordered to the attack, when the Enemy'
retired - with precipitation, notwithstanding, almost
the. whole ()fele Cavalry were approaching to their.
relief tiod though they were much superior to ours,
- in _number. They were pursued, as-far as llansnitz,
where.-t hey were'again joined by fresh •Troops.
,c.Wlien Prince BAGRATioN had arrived at. Wis-
elan witn,the advanced guard, be posted it upon the
heights, in the order of battle, while his Artillery si-
lenced the batteries of the Enemy. In the,mean while
the Enemy's Garrison in Wischau opposed the pro-
gress
of our. first division, .which still took the course
ofthe high road; in consequence of which the-Prince
ordered time 6lst Regiment of iagers, and a Batta-
lion!of
.the Regiment of Pstowischen,Musketeers,
under 'Prince DoeGoiteibm, to take pessession of
the , place ; which -was :efieded, and , about one
hip-Weed. Privates, ,thad,.four. ,Officers, were taken„l
Prisoners.
" In the evening-the Enemy, who bad fOrtified
hinaself.in,Rausnitz, .began ,his operations by a vi-
zo-rous.fire,upon °LK left •flankebeing. supported by
his -.batteries ; , but Prince DOLPORUCKI,, with._ two '
Battalions of the Archangel Itodochen Musketeers,
drove them out of the place, and took poSsession of it
in. spite of all opposition., On.the folloWing day our
adVsneed: Guard again broke ground froth the.vici,
nity--of Ratasnitz. .
f `. The loss of the Enemy in these :affairs was very con-
siderablein:killed and wonndeds Twenty-three Of-
ficers and 500 privates, were made prisoners... The,
loss on our side was- trifling.; not one Officer was
killed. On the 16th ow Army made rernovethent
to the lsft of Wischau,'- in its approades towards -
the Enemy near Austerlitz,' who, aware of the im-
possibility of avoiding an aaion, began to fortify his '
pbsition; and, during the night Of the .12. th, took',
p?ssesicial of some of those villages through which,
:we were Compelled to march. -
.." In the same nigtat the Enemy's Army, of
80,000 men,_ was reinforced by three strong divi-
sons, which made them double the number of our
Troops. It was also his object the same night to
obtain a position -near• Prague, -for theMOSt-nume-.
roils and the best division of his Troops, 'and where;
he expe6ted the centre of our Army. ' ' ' : '
" On the 20th, .at seven in the morning, we ad:.
vaneed from all our positions towards Austerlitz.
General BtixnevneN was with ,the left wing, and.
I was in the centre with the fourth ColUmn.
Tie first Column, under Lieutenant-General
D-HTURONV, marched with the left flank froM
Auges through Telinti, for the purpose' of defiling
by the Lakes in that 'neighbourhood, after lie had

first Column had passed the defiles near Telnitz,
advanced to • Meynitz, and took a' position- in the
plain between the above-mentioned,defiles and the
Nkes, with the view of covering the rear of all-the
Columns-
The second Column, under Lieutenant-Gen.
LANGrEON, marched with the left flank,' in order
to force the valley between Sokolnitz and Telnitz.,
" The third Column,. under Lieutenant-General
PRZIBISCHEWSKY, marched with the left flank close
by the Castle-of Sokolnitz; where the heads of the
three Columns were advancing, between Sokolnitt
kilt' the lakes Oa the-left, towards those of Nobol-
I. ischen.
" The fburth ColUrtni, under the Austrian Field,
Marshal-Coet.ownAT4,
_who marched with the left
flank, was ordered to take the same route, and to
bring the bead of his column into the same diredion
with the three first.. Thus the beads of the four
Columns presented an 'extensive front ; the first had
orders to obtain' possession of the \Vood of Turas to
the left, and t 6 snake a decisive; attack upon the
Enemy's right wing, *while the Advanced GUard.
under Prince BAGRAVION, supported by the Caval-
-6,, endeavoured to get possession of the heights-be-
tween Dwarosluia and the Lescher inn ; and from
thenee.with Artillery to cover the Cavalry; which
had taken a position both to the right and the left-of
this Inn. Similar measures were also taken in re-
spc& to the heights,on the other side of the valley
of Dwftroslina.. Prince LICHTENsTEIN commanded
the Cavalry. The Corps nnder the command of His
Royal Highness the GRAN 'D Du.K.E, and M. ZESSA-.
REWITCH, took .post behind Blass6witeli and Krieg.
The Cavalry of Prince LICHTENSTEM supported the
left wing of the Advanced Guard under Lieutenant-
General Prince BAGRATION. According to this order,
the first Column descended from the height, 'and
about eight o'clock marched through the village of
Auges, where, after an obstinate confliCt, they
obliged the Enemy to retreat 'to the village of. Tel-,
nitz, in which he left- his Sharp-shooters and a part of
the Infantry ; but took another position behind this
village with the rest of the Troops. A Battalion of the
7th Regiment of Jagers was ordered to dislodge him,
which, with another Brigade, supported a vigOrous
fire of musketry upon the Enemy; but perceiving
that the Enemy's line was still reinforced; they.
charged with the bayonet and put hind to flight.—
The Enemy now rallied the fugitives; and being
reinforced by several Regiments, forrned again, and
attacked the Austrians in front, and, threw them
into disorder ; by. these means the Russian Regiment
of Ingermanland was thrown into confusion; but

ount 13L7XHO li3ty ininiediately advancing, after

the attack. The fight was uovr;general at the Iretiti?
„r In vain did the P:.nerti„y. support

nt.l::-,l.)crs were obliged to give way to the valour and
impettioSjty.of the Russians, the ifrench Were: a
second time'repulied puf teii flight. Our first
Column took pos;ession of the villaze,of Telnitz,aad
;- on the other Aide of which a Battalion
of Troops., and two pieces` of c?.prion,' were posted
to cover our left flank. The rest of the Troops, ac-
,
cording to orders preconcerted,. marched to auras;
and to the Wood of that. name.. •: .

The remainder of the_ EnetilY again formed
into the Order of Battle ; and, after receiving rein-
forcements, renewed ,a very heavy attack upon- one
first Cohimn, but were again- repulsed ; While this
Column, who
had narrowly Observed the weakness
of the EnemV's satiation; main pursued "them with-
out intermission. The Enemy, regardless of the,
danger that threatened his right flank, dire&ed all •
his attention to. the centre of our Army, against
which, as before observed; he had opposed the
greater part of -his force. Two Bntalions were now
detached from
.the fourth Coltuntf, to take possession
of a Village in its 'front, while, this Column was im-
proving hs position; these Troops;however, aid not
succeed iu entering the village, they being, attacked
by a nunierous Corps of the Enemy who -had anti-
cipated, their deSign ;' and, in • their retreat;' they
were pursued to the left • flank of-the Column by
another numerous -bodrof tile Enemy, who had at-
that moment approached our flank.
• ,
!‘ When tumid. thAt the Eneeoy's objea Was to
take' a•-position behind the Heights occupied by us,
and, by _cutting off our retreat,, to attack us in the
rear, -I ordered the Austrian Troops anst the Corps Of,
-Reserve Stationed in the rear Ak-the.4th _Colutim, to.
face. about to the left flank; to'give a check to his'
impetuosity: . • ,
The Corps of Reserve took the position as-
signed theth-; but gave way to the Enemy's; first,
shock,' by which the flank of the Column was left
quite exposed,. The Enemy then 'hastily attempted.
a second time ,to turn Our Column, reinforce his
Troops, mid-make a most desperate attack as he
knew that thii 'Column at the same time in-
cesSantly engaged , with other French Troops, in a
position. direr tly opposite. Bur, .notwithstanding
our fourth Column was the- weakest, as -it consisted-
of 'the reduced Regiments: withdrawn froM Bran=
nau, it defended itself with great spirit, and
sus-
tained a very heavy tire during considerable time
iii;out.moVing from its pesition. The Major-Ge-
nerals BERG- and IiErNINSCI being-wounded; and
their Brigades left without Chiefs, the latter fellsinto.
confusion, and the rest began to retreat; when; as I
observed, that the Enemy s force opposed our Cen-
tre was-four or live titties'rnore numerous than ours,
and that; notwithstanding the intrepidity of our .
Troops-the. y were breaking_ Our: line and getting'
possession of the. Heights, which would put them
'in h sittiatio is N.) attack our 'left Wing hi the,reur,
lost no time- in making the necessary dispositions for,.
disappointing, the Enemy's -view. Riding to. Ber-
t'aut,, I found
.two th:e. had'been cut
from the second Column. - A ordered. LheM to take a
position, -and diredted Major
,Gen.KAryt S KI, yvith-
outdelay; to occupy the rear Of thw height by which 'the •
Enemy was to pass. These Itegitnefif:s did
derAble execution -; -but were at length compelled.
to give -,vay to,a_superior orce. 'They again plated.
themselves at the foot of the hill; and remained in
presence •of the Eneeny till after four o'clock.—
PrinceLicterENsTEn4 had 'given orders to the Ca-
valry under the Russian General Essr.N, to attack that
of the Enemy, who, supported by some Columns of
infantry, Made a feint, as if lie meant to attack the
Corps of the GRAND DUKE and M. ZESSAREWITCH
in the flank. The orders of Prince LICHTENSTEIN-
, were excpted in the best style : the Enemy's Ca-
valry, 'with, all their efforts, were unable to main,
taro their ground—they fled in great disorder, and
sustained-a considerable lass.

" Royal Highness's Begirnept of Uhlans
broke the. Enemy's line, sword in hand, in the corp=.
mencement of the attack, pursued the fugitives, and
scattered death before them wherever. they canm
their ardour, however, betrayed them into a dig;
advantageous situation : not content with the total
defeat of the Enemy, they even ventured to attack
thednfantry that supported them,, when upwttrds
of thirty discharges of cannon threw them into con-
fiasion, and.obliged them to retreat with considerable A
loss.,

" As these. circumstances convinced me that the
Enemy was stronger than ourselves at.every point,
and was mater of the most .Adrantageous,positions,
I held it indisperisibly necessary to retreat, and
mediately sent. orders ,to all the Columns to that
etlea. As our second, third, and fourth Columns,
with some, Regiments,- were .considerably in the -
rear, and the Enemy still remained in possession of
the heights, his- Royal Highness the Grand Duke,
and M. ZESSAIIEWITCH, with the Imperial
,Guards-
under their command, advanced against-the Enemy,
as much as possible, to check his impetuosity. The 4
intrepidity of
,the Troops upon this occasion, The
exemplary valour of ail the Officers of the Impericd
Gaud, • threw the Enemy into confusion ; a cbarge
with ihe bayonet ensued ; our Cavalry,was not only
mixed with -that 'of- the Enemy, but bad broken
through their Infantry, where they occasioned a
great carnage : the Regitnent of Life Guards took
-a standard :from the Enemy which- was obstinately
defended. : •
" Altogether the whole Corps fought with such:
valour upon. this occasion, -that it was'eask.to per
ceive that they were so fortunate as to -be entrusted
with the care of His Majesty's sacred.persen ; but
they were also obliged to put a period to their ac-
tivity. The -whole Army was now in retreat,; upon
.which his Royal Highness called
,his people to-
gether, formed them anew, and brought them off
the field in face of the Enemy. in the. best order. To
this -the chevalier Regiment of Guards contributed
materially, as they fell upon'the Enemy's Cavalry at
the moment they were preparing to attack the
Guards who were-retreating; and effectually pre-
vented the Enemy from effecting bis.purpose. At
the same time I sent a guide to the Corps to conduct
them to Austerlitz, in order that they might take a
position upon the heights near that place.
