Various English Critics have pronounced Kotzebue to be,

'most lively painter of manners and am-atter that in this line
of composition ever addressed the Public •, and the universal
reception of his Travels in Siberia and in France, not only in
every pay e,fthese lsldnds, but in every Country in Europe,
is .a circumstance demonstrative of his extraordinary merit.
Yet, however interesting may have been his foriner travels,
these in l,taly claim rank as his chef-d'oeuvre, and in a parti,
cular meaner command the notice of the kiterary world, not'
only as relating to the most interesting Countries in Europe, •

30pEls4 QUIS DICERK FALSUN A VUEAT ?

LONDON,

FIZIDI>Y, JANUARY 3, 1806.

WE yesterday stopped the Press to communicate
to our Readers the substance of the intelligence
brought by the three Hamburg/4 Mails, which ar-
rived in the course of yesterday. This aay. we give
an ample detail of all the Articles of Intelligence of
any importance which the Mails• have brought,
There can no longer be any doubt of the fa& of
an Armistice having been concluded, bnt it is equal-
ly certain that Russia is not included in it, neither
does the Emperor ALEXANDER appear to have.
taken any share in the Negotiations, whatever they
were, which led to it. It cannot, however, be
clearly ascertained what the real terms of the Armi-
stice are; still less does it appear what was the im-
. mediate cause of its being concluded. There can be
no doubt that the Allies were defeated on the 2d,
but that defeat was neither decisive nor disastrous.
The Allied Army amounted, after the Battle, to
85,000 men, and they remained in' possession of
Austerlitz, 'near which place the Battle was fought.
There seems to have been subsequently a sort oragree-
meat to enable both sides to bury their dead, and then
a sort of understanding, that, from the failure of
provisions, they could not continue the contest
where they were. But we cannot find any account
of the motives or causes which could lead to an
Armistice, or of the terms of such Armistice. It is
clear, however, that the Russians have nothing to
do with it, neither does it appear that they had
marched in the way pointed out in the Paris
Pipers, as, some days after the conclusion of the
Armistice they 'remained near the scene of adion.
It is;however, stated, that Plenipotentiaries had met
at Nicolsburg; to negotiate a Peace, brit only between
France and Austria. We can only acco: nt for this

circumstance by attributing it to , a s!. I..ien panic
which'must have seized the EMperor of Austria in
consequence of • the result of the Battle of the
2d, unless the whole is 'a stratagem to gain
time.

If the former,- it was certainly a most unfor-
tunate panic, as almost at the moment of concluding
the Armistice, the affairs of the Allies were in a
much better situation than they had been in for
some time previously ; the Archduke CHARLES,
with .a numerous, and unbroken Army, had ar-
rived in the neighbourhood of Vienna, which
City he would have retaken, had it not been for the
Suspension of Arms ; the Archduke FERDINAND
had also gained a brilliant Viaory over the Bavarian
Army, whom he totally defeated. Under these cir-
cumstances there was every reason to hope for the
most favourable results from the positions in which
the. Armies were placed. If it was only a stratagem
to gain time, the Allies may still be placed in the
most commanding situation. It does not appear
that the Russian Tromps, who were marching
to re=inforce the Grand Russian Army, hadi.
received any orders to halt. The Russian Army
would, therefore, in that case be continually increas-
ing, or, probably, falling back upon their reinforce-
It is stated that the Grand Duke CON-
sTANTIN., after. the Armistice had been concluded,
repaired to Berlin to offer the whole Russian Army
to be at the disposal of the KING of PRUSSIA. The
answer of that Monarch does not appear to be stated
upon any ground of authority. He is said to have'
declined the offer ; but this is evidently a mere
On the contrary, we learn by pri-
vate accounts from Berlin, of undoubted authority,
that the Prussia ti Troops, so far from halting after the
Armistice had been concluded, aeluallv continued
their.march. The division under Prince HPHENLOHE

were at Bareuth ; that of the buke of BRuNswicrc.
at Bamberg; 'the column tinder the immediate com-
mand of the icING, of PRUSSIA at Gotha ; the
,Elec-
tor of HESSE at Fulda ; and the division under Gen.
KALKREUTII at Cassel.

In addition to these, a Corps of Reserve of 30,000
men were to follow the Grand Army. What may
be the precise line of conduEt adopted by the KING
ofPRUSSIA, it -is impossible for us, without further in-
telligence, to conjeaute ; but we certainly have no
reason, under the present circumstances of the
Continent, to despond. Even if Austria has most
improvidently and impolitically given- up the con-
test,we cannot believe that the KING of Paus-

SIA would suffer her be
,dismembered of her
fi3est Possessions, apd himself placed at the
future mercy of the Conqueror, without mak7
ing one effort to prevent it ; whilst it is evident

that the gallant Moliarch of Russia still command sa

has not only npE givel up the contest, but is still

aEtuated by 'the same firth determination to check,

BREUEN, Dfc. 21.

The defeat of the Russians at Austerlitz on the 2d
inst. is now confirmed beyond the possibility of
doubt, though I believe no official inforrtiatior. !.as
yet reached Lord CAT#CART, who has now taken
upon him the chief command of the Amy here ;
yet the publicity of the misfortune, joined to a cer-
tain backwardness which manifests itself
Egellls to have a visible effe&onlis dship's move-
fnents. The Rifle Regiment at Delmenhorst had or,
ders to advance to Oldenburg this morning, which
I presume they have done ; but the Regiments who
were to move forwards from Vegesack, to take up
the quarters of the Rifle Corps, notwithstanding
their being upon the march, received orders to return
to their cantonments. The 'Brigade of Guards are
still quartered in our suburbs ; they were also ex-
peftecl to march yesterday 'to Delmenhorst, and
bread was absolutely baked for them ; but it is go,
nerally thought here that 'General DUN'S unex-
•
peded "arrival from Hanover had entirely deranged
the intended plan of operations.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEW.

SIR,

Observing in THE SUN of yesterday, a Letter
addressed to you from Mr. BICKNELL, wherein he
disavows ever having seen me, I was induced immedi-
ately to wait on him, to see if I had made any Deis-
take as to his person, when, to my great astonish-
ment, I found it was not Mr. BICKNELL who spoke
to me at Sir R. CALDER'S lodgings. lam there-
fore much concerned, and truly sorry, that I should
have made such an error. I since rind that the
person who did speak to me -was Mr. GASELEE,
Counsel for Sit ROBERT, whom I can identify, hav-
ing this day called on him.

This truly unfortunate, and very unintentional
mistake on my part, makes no other alteration in my
Affidavit made before the Lord Mayor, than instead
of Mr. BICKNELL, the Prosecutor, it was actually
Mr. GASELEE with whom I had the conversation at
Sir R. CALDER'S lodgings.
I am, Sir, your humble Servant,
- JAMES NICOLSON.

posed to be that from Rochefort), consisting of five
Sail of the Line, one a three-decker, and three
Frigates. _ •
" A signal had begn made for the Convoy to dis—
perse, Pud_Captain MOLTBRAY expressed his belief
that none-df them had fallen into the hands of the
Enemy."
Arethusa Frigate sailed from Cork
on the 12th Dec. with a Convoy for the West Indies.

, Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, the'DUKE of
KENT, PRINCESSES, AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AME-

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM DUBLIN.

" The Loyalists are indulging themselves in the
expedtation of seeing the DUKE of CUINIBER LAND
here to be installed Chancellor of our University.—
Certainly there is not.any part of the British Empire
where a Son of our beloved Monarch would be re-
ceived with more enthusiastic-, affe&ion and respea
than in Dublin :—by the Irish Loyalists especial-
ly, his Royal Highness's glorious defence of the
Constitution in Church and State will ever be re-
membered. with gratitude."
THE THEATRE.-The Tragedy of Macbeth was
represented last night at Drury-Lane Theatre before
a numerous audience. Master BETTY, for the first
time in London; performed the part of Macbeth,
and acquitted himself much' better than could
be reasonably expeeled at his time of life. , It was
not to be supposed that he could enter into the cha-
raEler with critical precision ; but in expressing the
passages which require emotion rather than judg-
ment, he displayed Considerable merit : In other
parts he was langitid ; but it was surprising that he
could sustain his strength thro' this laborious charac-
ter to the conclusion. He'llad many opponents in the
Theatre, but they were much overnumbered by.
his friends. Mrs. POWELL, Mr. H. SWOONS, and
RAYMOND, received great applause in Lady Mac-
beth, Bangor), and :Huard:
The Duke of BEDFORD has been gratifying his
friends with dramatic . Entertainments at Woburn.
The Comedy of John Bull has been represented, ac 7
cording to accounts, with considerable success; and
last night the dramatic treat was to have been The
Rivals. It is needless to say that magnificent hos-
pitality has marked the whole of this theatrical
Fete.

The theatrical Amusements, of Stanmore Priory
were resumed last night, and the Comedy of The
leivitts'was again perforined. There was a splendid
1. assemblage of the higher ranks present.
