IT is a ,t)ell known fad, that though BoNAPARTE I
gained the vietory in the Battle of Austerlitz, it Wa,
so hardly contested on the part' of the Russians, and
the French suffered so severely, that BONAPARTE was
aanally 'afraid to Renew the .a6tion on the following
day.—He therefore, as he has done upon all octa,
sions where his stterttli failed, resorted" to subtlety)
in which nobody can be a match for him. After
examining into the state and disposition of his
,;
Troops, he thought it would be too hazardous to
expose himself again to the hardy Russians, aOd
therefore sent a letter to the EMPEROR of GER-
MANY, soliciting an interview, and intimating that
it would be for the advantage of the latter
meet him. The EMPEROR of GERMANY, who
too well knew the losses which the Allies had
suffered, and was not equally apprized of those
of the French, in an evil hour, consented to the .in-
terview, and when he alighted from the coach, Bo-
NAPARTE himself stood at the door and courteously •
held forth his,arm to assist him in descending. It'
is impossible to say what took place at the inter-,
view, though it cannot be doubted that all that arti.
fice could di&ate to work upon the hopes and fears
of the EMPEROR of,GERMANy was put in tnotion,--..
and with what lamentable success the world too well
knows. , When the EMPEROR of GERMANY was de-
parting, BONAPARTE' attended him to his cdrringe,
and again held out his arm in the most amicable
manner to assist him in getting into it.—lf it had
hot been for-this fatal. interview, it is. highly proba-
ble that the French would have been under the
necessity of retreating, and the degrading Peace, of.
Presburgh would 'never have been heard of. The
citcum.stances of this memorable interview have
been variously related, but our Readers may depend
on the truth of the recital as now given.

Yesterday the following appointments were made
by the Direaors of the east India Company, viz. :
Sir GEORGE HIr.ARo BARLOW) Governor:-General ;
Lord LAKE, Second in Council, and Commander, in.
Chief; GEORGE UDNEY, Esq. Third ;i and JOHN
LUMSDEN, Esq. Fourth in Council.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the

Lord GRENVILLE has increased the number of his
official situations, by accepting of the high trust of.
First Lord of the Treasury in Ireland ; but declines
accepting therefrom any emolument whatsoever.
Mr. P—rE, the Laureat; is, we understand, invoking
his Muse on the subjea of our great national ItAS
in the death of Mr. PITT. It is 3 SUbjea that calls
forth all the energy of Song; and as Mr. PYC is art
admirable Scholar, and a staunch Patriot, as well as-
a good Poet, we hope his Muse will distinguish her-
self on this occasion, though it will be difficult in:.
deed for Poesy to rise to the height of the great
argument."
Mr. BIRCH, of the City, has nb small reawn tO
be satisfied that amidst all the rancour of political
animosities; his adversaries have no other means of
attacking him but by pitiful allusions to his name oi
The success of KoTztattt as a writer of TraVels,
and the universal reception of his successive works on,
Russia, France and Italy, into every Library and
Polite Circle, in Europe, have determined him to
visit his favourite Country, England, and to give
to the world With his wonted spirit a view of the
State of Society, Arts, and Manners in these fortu-
nate Islands, which are now become the hope and
the dependence of all the 'other Nations.
At an early houi yesterday morning, the inhabit-
ants of a house contiguous to the Burying-ground
of St. Anne's Church, Soho, gave information at
'the Watch-house, that several men were working
with grapplers, pick-axes, &c. in- the Church-yard.
The Constable and Watchmen. immediately repaired
to the Burying-ground ; but the offenders, who apr
peared to be about five , in number, perceiving the
lanthorns,,fied in all directions. One of them, how-
ever, was
,secured as he was leaping from the walyl
of the Church-yard into the street. .He was yester-
day examined privately. • It appeared, on looking
over the Burying-ground, that several graves had
been opened, and the, bodiei, of a woman and a
child were found in a state to be carried away.

Was far to southern nations gane ;
Dreary, our nights and scrimp our days,
Naked and blashy was the plain.
Nae verdant leaf wav'd on the tree,
Nor flowers upon the meadows blew;

And heights were a' of wissen'd• hue.
Nature was heavy, sour, and clowf,

Nor would the birds their carols sown;
But droopt the wing, and hid their heads.

To hang in clouds pang'd fon' o' death,

On virtue still waits happy fate,
