Lord ESSEX. •

Two Hamburg/I Mails arrived yesterday,- but the

intelligence they bring has been already anticipated
by the Papers which we received, the details from
which we communicated to our Readers on Thursday.
The Russian official account -t)f the Battle of
Austerlitz has been circulated in Germany, which
differs widely from the French statement. It .ap-
, pears from this document, that the Riiksian Armyon
the 2d ult. consisted of only 5 0,000 men, and that'the
Austrians, chiefly new' levies, •were not above half
that number. The French Army is stated,to have had
from 15,000 to 20,000 more men in consequence of
BEF\ DOTTE having- joined the day before the battle
The ridiculous story of several thoUsand Russians
having been drowned appears to have,been an utter
falsehood. The total loss of the Russians is esti-
mated at not more than ten thou.sand men, whilst
that of the French is supposed to have been at
least as great. The French, after the battle of
Auste'rlitz, did not attempt to pursue the retreating
Army, but on the following day they, attacked the
Russian Rear - guard in the neighbourhood of
Uheschutz but after a partial action, which lasted
till the,.close of the day, they were obliged to re..
linquish their obje&t. It is, also
,positively. stated,
that the Russian Imperial Guards did, not lose their
Colours, but, on ,the contrary, took the Standard of
one of-the French Regiments of Infantry: There is
no ddubt that the Emperor ALEXANDER was hi±,hly
dissi:isfied with his IMperial Brother of Austria,
whose condubt iix.snbmitting.to French diaation,,at
the very moment when a favourable tUrn might have
been given to his. ailikrs, can hc:/er
she sufficiently
lamented. The Archduke CHARLES is also stated to
have openly expressed his disapprobation of the con-
.
du& of his Brother,. fur whom, however, the pre-
sence of himself and his Army probably obtained
better terms than would otht rwi ,e have been granted.
The cessation of hostilities in Hanover, and the
halt of the French Troops. whiCh were marching
thither, are fully confirmed.

SEVENTY-FIVE TFanipelts arrive-3 in- the Weser

His Lordship 'has been along With. the RUssian
General at Nienburgli for SoMedays„ where he was
met. by C 01.., Al';:srßty-rn:p., with Dispatchesfrom
Lord HAItRa*J3Y at Berlin. In, consequence Of
which he and General TaLsrox set off to. Minden, "
to consult with 'the General. coin ma.nding ihe-Itussian
Troops in :,:that quarter. They were only one night
atMinden,,• and then returned to Nicnburgh,
whence my'friend there informs me that no hostili-
ties would take place betwit the English and French
Armies for-two-months, doubt'.on purpose to
wait the event of the-Negotiations at Olmutz. •
It is said the Emperor' of Russia-has 'as yet
dined taking any part in the Negotiations, rick*ith-

been •made to him. . • • •

I am this moment informed; fromgood audio
rity, that BoNAPARTE proposes giving Prussian Si-
to,the Emp6-or of Germany, as an indemnifi-
cation for Tyrbl, and' to resign his honest pretensions
to Hanover, as a voluntary.compensation to his Prus
sian 'Majesty. .
•Since writing the above, . have unques-
tionable authority to inform you, that my, friend's
Intelligence from Nienburgh, stating that his Prussian
MajeStY had arranged it so that no hostilities shollld
take place for two months in this Country, is 'a cer-
tain fad.: The principal condition is, that none of
the Troops of the Belligerent Powers. shall remain
betWixt the 'Ems and. Weser. In consequence of
which all our advanced Corps are returning on this
side of the Weser into the quarters of the Brigade
of Guards, who march into this City to-morrow
morning' About:.three thonsand of the German.
,Legion are quartered here this evening.

JANTTARY 7.

It is confidently asserted here, in the best in-
formed circles, that his Prussian Majesty has-, gua-
ranteed Hanover, so. that in all likelihood no hosti-
lities Will commence in this_ quarter; . and what
still corroborates the assertion is, that the powder
and shot which have, been 'for soine time in; the
neighbourhood of Bremen is sent dawn the'Rivf
towards the' Transports lying at Braaek.. li-
tional Gunners who were sent to the Artilteli, save

there been any chance. . being ; called int 6 action
in the.spring; it 'May naturally, 'be supposed. they
would have been exercised at the guns during the
winter. Besides, allcootraas fbr horses and Wag-
gons are suspended in the interim, which amounts
to a kind of proof positive, that some pacific arrange-
ment is on the carpet.
The two Battalions of Guards, two Regiments of
the Line, and a =Rifle Regiment,
,are quartered in
this City. • In. the Suburbs are also two Regiments
of the, Line. The men behave. extremely well, and
considering the handsome provision -which is made
for them by. the, .nglish.Governmerit; tile inhabi-.
tants feel only the inconveniency of having them in
their houses, which they seem to bear With great
pleasure. I really believe, were the Citizens polled

Military to leave it. s

It is extremely lbrtunate for the British Shipping
