SOLEIL QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT?

LdNDON,

WEDNESDAY,. NOVMI3II, 12, 1806.

WE have this day resumed our EktraCts from the
11ainburgh, Mail which arrived,yesterday. We are
still left in a great degree.of, uncertainty respecting
the .fate of different Corps of the Prussian Army
which were endeavouring to effeCt their retreat to the
Oder. With Tespea.to the main body, under Prince
I-lonENLopE, there are two contradiEtory accounts :
it is
,stated-in the Hatnburgh Paper of the 4th, that
his Ai:my had been completely routed, and that he
/
himself .was 'taken, prisoner. The Correspondenten
of the sth, however, contradicts theTeport of Prince
,HomiNLokia hav;ug been taken prisoner. We trust
that.the
,latter account will prove correa, though
it is- probable that if the Prince has been able to
male "good his retreat, it was with considerable loss.
With respe& to the Corps of which the Duke of
SA'-"c•E WEriLka had the command, we also are left in
considerable doubt. The accounts merely state; that
.the Duke, had resicrued his command to General VON
WINDUNG, and that the. latter 44 had several
engagements with the Frough, the result of which
wris not Li:own. We fear, however, that thew or

noli,opes of this Corps being able to-effeet its retreat
to the .War; for it had only. feachecl Wilstock

the.2Bt-r, andno that day tht French were expeel-
ed at Stettin. Indeed it is sated, that the Pieria
`entered Stettin on the 29th ; but it is hardly to be
believed that a place so capable of defence, and hav-
ing so large a Agarrison, sl.lould have surrendered on
the first summons ; yet the events of the last and
the present Campaign have taught us, that it is not
always. safe to argue upon probabilities in Military
affairs. By the rapid and iine,xpeEled advance of the
Frenoh,the Swedish troops Which were in. Lauenburgh_
were in great danger of being cut off. Thp Frence
had got between them and Swedish Pomerania, and
theyswere too fey in number (not above •1400) " to
attempt to fight: their way. It became necessary;,
therefore, that they should endeavour to effeEt their
retreat by'.sea : accordingly they entered Lubeck by
force, with the intention of embarking for Stralsund,
which the Frcpch Dave also declared: in a state of

siege.

Such are the details of the military Operations.
brought by the Hamburgh Mail ; and it is difficult
to conceive a more gloomy prospe& than that which
they present. The arrival of the.' Russians may,:
and, we trust, will, not only stop the progress of the
French, but enable the Prussians to recover aorpe of
the ground which they have lost. 'lt is, said that
50,000 Russians have arrived at Pcisen : it is hardly
necessary to state, ,that this is an absurd elcaggera-
tion. We have reason to believe that the first Rns-
sian Army which was ordered to the assistance of
Prussia did not exceed Op* men. If they have
arrived at or near. the scene of aaion, the fate of the.
campaign may yet bi- changed. They would
form a rallying point for the different Prus-
sian Corps which now appear to be wandering
about without any certain point of retreat, and
they would compel the French to concentrate'a con-
.siderable. part of their Army to 'resist so formidable
a Force. It is positively asserted, that,the only Con-
dition on which the EMPEROR of RusstA con-
sented/to engage in the War, was; that Prus-
sia would not make Peace under any cir-7
cumstances without his consent., If this be..true
(and after the experience of last year it is highly
prcbablethat the Emperor would insist upon such a
stipulation), there can be no doubt that lie will assist
Prussia with the whole dispOseable fbrce of ' his
Empire. It is deeply to be' regretted, that at such a
crisis Austria should remain a quiet speaator of
events,'which, in their consequences, will, be al-
most as injurious to her as they are at present
to Prussia.. The Archduke CUARLES has. au Army
of nearly one hundred thouiand men in Bohemia
if they were to place themselves in the rear of the
French, while the Rusiians 'are advancing in front,
the French Army would be in a most perilous situa-
tion ; but we fear the opportunity, like the One
which the of: ItUSS.I..t had last year, will be
lost.

The last accounts of MIRANDA 'have not been
correctly stated : finding that he had not sufficient
strength to push
,his advantages, but not in eon,
.sequence of any defeat, he retired to. a neighboUring
Island, and, receiving a dispatch from Trinidad, he
returned- to thnt place. This .want of sufficient
strength. had enabled the Spanish Government to
cut off his intercourse with the natives, who are
heartily attached to his cause, tut who are not strong
enough to throw Off their. present odious bondage.—
If MIRANDA should gain a reinforcement, and re-
new the attack, there can. be little doubt of
mate success. The Natives had been driven' OP the
Country, in order to prevent them from.giving any
assistance to MIRANDA, .and the town of Coro was
quite deserted;

Their Royal Highnesses the DUXES of YORK and
CAMERIDd.E left town yest,erday morning, on a shoot-
ing party at the Duke of NOLTHUMBERLAND'S
seat, Sion House.
There was a Council yesterday, and in the even-
ing dispatches were sent off to the Continent.
Admiral Sir bum \VARREN is arrived in town,
and yesterday had an interview with the Board of
Admiralty.
A Vessel has arrived from Cadiz, which left that,
port on the 25th of O&ober. Letters have been re-
ceived by this conveyance, which state, that' the Spa;
pith Gmernment has declared the country in danger,
and it was resolved' to raise an additional force of
150,000 men. Of this Cadiz was to furnish 1000
infantry; or 500 cavalry. The objea of this ex-
traordinary
armament has given rise to much cop-
jetiure.
Yesterday a Board of Trade was held at the Of-
fice, which was attended by Lords AUCKLAND
and HENLEY; Messrs. WICKHAM and Mr. VAN-
SITTART. A number of West. India Merchants
attended the Board, which .sat, from eleven o'clock
till twelve,

. .
Yesterday Mr. THORNTON and Sir THOMAS-TUR-
TON, the successful Candidates'for the Borough,
were chaired through the -principal streets, • St.
George's. Fields, &c. attended by a number of
their friends..- A boat, fixed on. a car, conveyed
their band, who played a number' of favourite
wars. The chairs were superbly decorated, and-'a
i'lember of ribands were sported on. the oceasi.on.•
The joyous party retired lo th.e*orns, at Kenning,.
tan, where a sumptuous dinner was prepared, and
the evening ,concluded with tll7 utmost hilarity and
goc humour
