enormous loss of men on both' sides is incredible.
A person of the highest imPortance was, we are

by the' sacrifice of a part of his Body Guard,—

PRIVdTE CORRESPONDENCE.

BREIIIiN, llk.c. 13, 1805.

IN my last acquainted you that .a Battle Was said
to have been fought betwixt the French and Reis-
sians in the neighbourhood of .01muti, which did
not turn out to be a fa& ; howeVer, it is how conti-
. dently affirmed, that a decisive and blOOdy engage-
ment had taken place, by, BrUnn, in which the
French had been compittely defeated, and are no*
retreating as fast as they advanced. This is the re-
port of the day, and seems to be substanOted by
many corroborating circumstances hourly arriving
from ditfbrent quarters, though I have not been able
as yet to tram the date of the Engagernent, which is
said to have kited three successive days, and that the
Russians at first lost grotind, and a good many can-
non, but their persevering courage. overcame every
obstacle, and turned the tide of vi&ory in their fd-
your, through the desperate etforts of the Heavy Ca-
valry, who aee reported to have performed prodigies
Of Valdur. •

The Bamberg Paper of yesterday mentioned, that
an nation had happened, but did not state the result,
which. the Editor of that Journal would not have
failed to have done if it had answered his purpose.
The licanturgli Correspandenten dare not take notice
of it till it be mentioned from Berlin, and then the
Editor may Ventura. to insert it.
We have every other day one or more Battalions
of Hanoverian Troops marching through this City
into the Ele6tOrate. The number of Recruits is.really
incredible. Sure I am the Battalion which passed
here yesterday did not exceed4so rank and file, and
the Recruits vvho had joined them since their arrival
at Brernerlehe were not fewer than 300 finelellows,
laughing and singing in the .rear of the Battalion.
They all seem to be aCtuated by one heart, and that
a grateful one, for the friendly reception and bene-
ficent attention shewn them by the British Govern-
ment, and the people at law, and I make no doubt
they will prove themselves worthy of the favours
they have received.
No alteration in the cantonments of. the British
since t wrote you last. .fie Non-commissioned and
Privates of the Guards, who are quartered in our
suburbs, continue to merit that esteem and respee.\
which their praise-wot:thy condua so justly entitle
them. They are soon expe&ed in town, which I
sincerely wish may be the case, for the inhabitants
around are very poor.
You have, probably,, heard, before now, that
BONAPARTE has, by means of some of his inflam-
matory Emissaries, been. endeavouring to kindle a
fire in Poland, and that a Correspondence has been
found out, wherein he promises to send an Army of
200,000 Troops to their assistance as soon as Ile has II
finished his business.in Germany. His PRIOSIAN MA-
',TESTY is certainly 'aware of his plans, and no doubt
in force to resist them ; however, Ican tell you as a
fa&, that all the Poles who have been taken pri-
soners by the French Army in Germany .ave been
immediately liberated, and sent to their native
Country.

THE THEATRV...---MISS SMITH made her first ap-i
pearance last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, in
the charaaer of Elvira. Coming so scion after the
original-representative of this charaeler, she had an
arduous task to perform, but she acquitted herself
with a considerable degree of ability, and with great
success. Her person also being so much less com-
manding than that of the great Aeiress alluded to;
was an additional draw-back on her efforts, but she
wAg, notwithstanding, very impressive, and rendered
the charaater very prominent. There was no abate-
mem of merit or etfed in Kotatz's Rolla. Caves
