PLYMOUTH, DEC. 26.--Last night it blew such
a tremendoos gale of wind at S. \V. as forced all the
Frigates hi the Sound to strike yards and topmasts ;
the Men of War in Caws And Bay rode it out well :
this morning it abated, and the Men tague of 74 guns,

him and seven Sail gone into Falmouth, and the re-

,FliO2ll THE ROTTERI3,4M 'COURANT.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17.

The Hamburg and other German leitersreceivd
yesterday contain only a short account of the import-
ant battle which has taken place to the advantage of
the French. From the intelligence written by Mar-
shal BERTRIER, on the field of battle, to Stutgard, and

announced in the Moniteur of the 1 ith (that Paper
of the 12th not being arrived), we gather only the
following
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

Srt 4SBU. It p DEC. 9.—The Emperor has de-

feated the Russians at Olmutz : half of their Army

is annihilated, and- the rernalnder is in full flight."
This day, however, we have received the follow-
ing account, published in the Vienna Court Gazette.
• of the 6th inst. ; and also, from a respedahle
quarter, the subjoined Order of the Day, dated on
the 3d, and issued by the Einperor.l\7AkmEoN,
from his. Head-quartrs, at Austerlitz. We haVe,
besides, received ce' gain information that the 'Empe-
ror of 'the French and the EMperor of Austria had
• 211 Juterview near the . field of battle, and that an
Armistice was concluded bet Ween the •two Sore-
reigns.
• • VICTORY. OF:AUSTERLITZ,
• 9314thiEb BY Tim FRENCH ARMY ON THE 'D 0V
DECEMBER, 1805.
Front the 27th of November to the Ist of Decem-
ber every effOrt was Made to bring the Russians to a
general engagement, and the measures taken to pro-.
1719te.that object have had the most favourable result.
• Indescribable was the joy with which the Freneh.
• • from the heights on which NAPOLEON, in the,
:,OPeo field, was posted, beheld the advanced posts
of the Russian Arrnyaivroaching, and a movement
iutte from their flank, with the view of surround-
' -Int the French right wing. The ...Russians march-
ed irt column, in one line, to the length of four
French miles beyond the French Army,which, mean -
*iblie, remained immoveable in its position,. in 'order
that the enemy,.. Who hastened with rapid steps to
meet cicstruetion, might advance so near as to ren-
der it impossible, for them again to. escape. The
French Emperor made- his dispositions for battle in
the following order :
Tie,gave to Marshal LANNES the command of the
lef .wino ; to Marshal SOULT the command of the
fight; and to Marshal BERNADOTTE the command
t4e centre. Prince MURAT received the command
61 the cavalry, with which he was posted on a par-
ticular point. The left of Marshal LANNES ap-
*ached St. Anton, which ,had been fortified -and
nlounted With 18 pieces of cannon:..
SUCHP:T'S division formed the. left .of Mar-
, 3hal I.4zo3es's ; the division of Gen. CAFIERELLI
formed his right, and-was supported at the . same
time by Prince Mu R AT'S cavalry. , •
The van of this CaValry consisted of Gen.,KEL-

. LERMAN'S HOssarg and Chasseurs, and of WALTHER
and Br: AUMONi`'S divisions of Dragoons. The division
formed of Generals NANSQVTI and HAUTrOULT'S
Cuirassiers, with 24 field pieces, Was posted'as a re.,

Marshal BERNADCi-rE, that is to say the• centre,
atd on the left the division of Gen: RWAUP, Whiell

and' On the right the .diYision of General- PaotTET..
MarshalSout. T, who commanded the right:wing •
of the Arn-iy, had dn. his left the division of General
VAlrl)Amme, in,his centre the diYision of. General
HiLAiRr., and on his right the cfnisidn of General
Marshal •D'Avetisp Was detached. to the . right of
GeneralsLaenAtqn to obsen'te the road between the
lake-s'and the villages of Sokolnitz and Felsnitz.•,-.
Be'll/t1 with him General FttlANi's division and the

• vision of General Gubtto was 'diteCted to march at
4,aY-I?reak from Nicelsburg, to stop the' corps of the
ti'ernY, which was endeavontitt.g to turn the rid; it

The EmPtior Nnrcir..E6N, with his whole:General

iians• had already reacted. howor, they
fell in quite unexpeaedly witti Manlshal D'AvotisT,
who made them halt, and the battle immediately
began.
At the same time Marshal SOULT put himself in
motion, and advanced with the Divisions of General.;
VANDAMME and ST. HILAIRE towards the heights
of the village of Protzen.

In consequence of these operations the right wing
Of the Russian Army found itself completely turned
—all its plans were deranged—surprized by a mov&
ment on the flank, the Enemy endeavoured to re-
treat.—While they would attack, they found them-
selves suddenly attacked. From that moment' the
Enemy's right wing was considered half defeated.
The Cavalry under Prince MuRAT now began to
move. The left wing, under the command of Ge-
neral LANNES, marched forward 'also ; the Troops
drawn up in the form of Regiments,• in the ,Same
Manner as if they had been exercising by divisions.
The centre under Marshal BERNAbOTTE likewise ad-
vanced, and instantly a terrible cannonade resounded
along the whole
Two hundred pieces of cannon, and nearly
204,000 Men, all engaged 'at one time, produced a
most tremendous and awful noise. This was truly a
giant conte,;.t.
The battle lasted only two- hours, when the left
wing of the Russians was cut off, and their right driven.
back to Atisterlitz. •
The head-quarters of the two Emperors were at
Austerlitz, and they were obliged to give orders to
the Russian imperial Guard to advance to re-
establish, if possible, the junetion of the left wing
and the centre. Marshal BESSIERE3 moved forward
with his Invincibles, 'and immediately the French
Impedal and Russian Imperial Guards were engaged.
The Russian Guard was driven back in disorder.
Its Commander, Artillery, and Standards, were all
In the poWer of the victors. Even th© Grand Prince
CONSTANTINE, whose regiment was entirely cut to
pieces, has only to thank the fleetues of his horse
for his escape. •

The aaion was still obstinately maintained by the
remaining part of the Russian Army. ' The centre
of the French Army withstOod the well direaed at-
tacks of the Cavalry. The French left wing also
continued its attacks, in all ,of which it was viole-

rions.
At one o'clock, P. M. the vi dory, which neve
was for a moment doubtful, was decisively OA the
side of the French, ,
The cant.onade was still constantly maintained on
the French right wing. The Russian corps which
hid been cut off, was surrounded, compelled to
abandon its position; forced back into a 'hollow, and
dri‘Tn up aglinst a lake. Hero a most dreadful
speaacle presented itself. Twenty thousand men
spread themselves, over the icy surface of the lake,
only to,be drowned. - • ,

"'At the same time two Russian Columns of four
thousand men each laid down their arms, and the
whole.of the Artillery, at least 120 pieces, fell into
.onr hands.

On this .day we had the wbple of the Russian
Army Co encounter. The half (if it is destroyed,
and the remainder has taken flight in the greatest
confu§ion. The greater part threw al,vay their arms.
Of the whole French Army, the Reserve was the
only part which was not engaged, and the Reserve
alone is equal to an Army. -
The French Army, though strong, was not so
numerous as the Enemy's, which . consisted. of
105,000 men, viz. 80,000 P.usFtians, and 25;000
Austrians.

The result of this viaory placed in the hands of
the French Army 46 Russian standards,. including
the colours of th Einperor ALEXANDEI:'S Life-
guard, (.1;1 12to 15 R45513P Generals made pri-
soners, :.ttriong whom are the Princes. GALLIT:

of Russian prisoners. The Vrench General Staff'
does not yet know the number, but returns of nearly
20,000 are already made; The Ilussians have be-
,
Si deS left 15,000 dead on the field.

Though exa4 acedinitsare not,yet received of the
loss of the French, it appears to be only about 800
killed, and froni,tsou to 0-H -wounded. This can-
not astonish tacticians, for every one knows' that
great numbers are seldom lost but by those who
take fli6ht.. Besides,- not one corps of the French
Arley was penetrated, except a single Battalion of
the 4th Regnuent, which bad to sustain the whole
of the first attack of the aussian Imperial Guard.

perforniance of Romeo th: t rendered it otservably

'and though he certainly docs not appear to the same
advantage when employed on Stikßset:At it as in the
works of inferior writers, he does not deserve that
harshness and severity with Willa he:is now treated

in charaaers adapted to Iris years, and the pro-
bable extent of his conception, he 'may bid deli-:
ance to splenetic caprice. Miss SMITH desents.,a
very favourable report in Juliet.; • There was an evi-
dent display of judgment in the conception, and of
