The Hamburgh Mail due cn Wednefday lall, ar-,
rived lift night, and this morning the other three.
Mails, that were due alfo, reached the Poll Office.
Ey thefe Mails the important intelligence has been
received, that the Emperor of the French bat re:plied the
*natation of his Pruffian Metjelly ; that dm latter has tam
the field, and that his amnia are in moticut towards Frs..
cootie. Such is the 4sbftance of the intelligence from
liaraburgh.
It is further Rated that the Dale of Bemirteu'r
headquarters have been transferred to Gottingen; that ;be
Keno, with the garrifon of Berlin, ben gone tovareh
Saxony; and that the Prujan troops are roacuatiug Nano-
Ver. All thefe movements have probably one °Neff
—the concentration of a (hong force to twat.; BONA
PARTE, and force him to a battle, before he can ap•
proach his reinforcements by a retreat. It would be
ridiculous, however, to pretend to develope the pro-
bable movements of the Allies. A little time Fill
unfold them, and demonstrate how far their cir-
cumtlances have been improved by the acceffion of
Prnffia—an event that 'fecnas 'calculated to produce
atoll important confequenees.
The French have already begun to fall back, and
the united Ruffian and Auftrian armies are advanc-
ing by forced marches. On the 29th the head quar li
-
ters of the two Emperors were at Witchan, and on
the la ialtant at Krizanowitz.
According to the prefent accounts, the French,
feem iefirous to avoid a battle, probably till they in
their turn concentrate 'their force. Our Readers will
recoiled that by a trick of General Muita'r; Giant
AULRSZER3 was prevented from burning the biddies
of Vienna—the former having informed him by a flag
of truce that an armiftice had been conCluded. 'ln
confequence of this rule de seem, the Aullnan army
being espied to confiderahle danger, played off ano-
ther trick in their turn—They pretended they wilted
to quit ,the Ruflidns s -and, bf this mans; gained
time to :effea thtt: junaion thtm; and the'lat.
ter by it pretended treaty otithMnaav, gained tithe
to area their junaion 'with BushoVden.

This explains the ftipPofed capitulation of theßuf-
liens. announced Co pompoufly in 'the French Bulle-
tins. The allies have retrieved themfelvesfroni the
dilemma into which they were thrown by the fine&
of the enemy, who now in his turn is obliged to leek
fafety in avoiding a battle till he can effeß a change
of pofition. In the mean time, the united armies are
dated to be purfuhig (Lich* tneafuret, as mull tither
compel the French to a battle, or lead to their ex-
;tuition from Vienna.
The intelligence from the Archduke CHARM is
alto much more favourable that' we Could yell hope
for, though we had reafon to expea everything from
him that could be effetled by perfeverance; coolnefs.
arid prudence. He hits effeaed his retreat'at the head
of 90,000 men, has formed a juntlion • With the
Archduke JOHN, and both are now advancing by
forc:d marches fur Germany.
'I he accounts dire& from Italy do not come down
)xter than the 6th ult. !tom Venice. The Ruffians,
who Were expeled from Corfu and Minutia. 'had
not then arrived, and were therefore (tippled to have
failed direft for Tried. The, fame letter (peaks of the
retreat of the Archduke CHARLkh but dues not ent•
brace circumflances of fo late a date as the Gentian
accounts of that army.

TROD THR SIRUP AND PRAGUE GAVITTIt.

A letter from Ohnutz of the 26th ult. rays, that the
French army there began to retreat a little. Their
out.pofis, that made ineurfions between Prunn to-
wards Olmutz, had taken a (cation beyond the town.
The combined armies, full of fpirits. expected con•
fiderable reinforcements by the arrival of the third
Ruffian army. Meanwhile it was known that all tte
Roads io Suabia and Interior Aufiria were covered
with the Ireneir confcripts who came to join the
Grand Nrroy.
It was alfo known at the Ruffian head Quarters that
Bonaparte was going to create the Elethinf Bavaria
a King—and, in the letter he wrote him on this fob:
he calls. him Sire and Brother.
411 Tyrol is to be occupied by Bavarian troops—
the coronation will fpeedily take place nt Mtinich,
A letter from Olmutz of the 27th announces, that
on the 26th the fine corps of cavalry of Prince Corr
fiantine of Rolla, filed cff near Olmutz to the Ruf-
fian head qaarters, which were (till thenat Olterchan.
The French army, which a few days before had
penetrated to the dlflance of foui leagues from 01.
mutt, was then on its retreat, and the combined Au-
aro•Rugian army kept advancing. The lentils bead
quarters were on the 27th at Profnitz, and the ad-
vanced guard of Prince Pangrazion was in Wifchau,
the fame cloy the firft column of General Michelfon's
army arrive4t.at Troppau, and was expeded at 01
mutt oa the fame day.

Another letter from Olmutz of the fame date
(later, that the French army was then between Brunn
and Aullenletz. The Archduke CHARLES in Cro-
atia with an army of 90,000 men, the united army
of Moravia efliMated at 2 00,000, and a battle ti-

A letter from Olmutz of the 29th nit. Rater, that
after the junllion of Generals Kurusow and BUlE-
imams. the Emperor has ordered his armies to ad-
vance, and his Majelly's head quarters were then at
Wifehau, and will' foon be semoved fidewards to
Xremfiz. The French were ain in the environs of
Brum.

HAMIUgG Dse. 6.—The affertions in the Paris
papers, relative to the wUh of the Austrians to Cc-
parate theanfelves from the Ruffian army, as well as
the propoied convention of the latter to capitulate,
appear to be nothing more than Rratagems of war
—the Totlbwing are the particulars:
The'tuoment the Auftrian 'army had evacuated
Vicina at the approach pf the French, preparations
were made to burn the bridge, and Combußibles
were laid to it accordingly, when fuddenly a French
General Officer gallopped through' Vienna with a
flag of truce, and waited, in Prince MURAT'S name,
on Field Martha' Count AUSILSIBURG, who was jutl
giving orders to burp the bridge, informing him
that an artniaice between the Aufirian and French
armies had been actually eoncladed, for which rea.
Inn it would npt be well to deltroy the bridge, as i:
might have' bad confequences. The Auftrian Ge-
neral defined—but loon after the French arrived in
fuperior (pm, palled the bridge, but did nor attack
the Auftrians on the oppofite bank, to make them
the more eerily believe the pretended armiffice, and
that they might attack them the more fuccefsfully
after defeating the Ruffians. The Auftriao General
being informed of this mean ftratagem, fent two of.
beers of his Staff to Prince Mutter's head quarters,
to inform him that the Aultrian army having had
forte feriotts difputes with the Ruffians, wifhed to
fosfake their alliance, provided that BON/APARTe
would allow them to make their retreat home un-
moldled. This was granted ; and the Aufirians, by
a circuitous route, joined the Ruffians again, and
their Commander fent Murray a letter, informing
him that this ltratagem had been ufed by way of re.
prifal for what the French had done with regard to
the bridge of the Danube.

The Ruffians not being yet joined by General
BUXHOEDLII, nor in fulficient Ilrength to oppofe the
main part of Boicaram's army that had entered/
Moravia, fent likewife propofals for a convention,
which Mum accepted, but BOVAPARTI would not
ratify it till it had been done by the Emperor Act:.
ANDBR ; meanwhile the Ruffians gained time to effed
a junEtion with the fecond army, and to wait the
approach of the third, under General Miclaisom.
Both the I,mperors of Germany and Ruffle have
put thimfelves 'at the head of their refpeaive ar.
cries: The Archduke Claal,as has reached Hun-
gary with 90,000 men. -
The Hamburgh papers contain the 27th and 28th
Bulletins of the Grand French army. The fornier
is dated Pahorlitz, in Moravia, November 19, gat-
ing, that after the battle of Gunterfdorf, General
purfued the enemy into the plains of
Moravia, and took zoo° patinas : Muter entered
&nun= the tsth ult. where he found fizty pieces
of cannon, and confiderable magazines of every de.
fcription. • - •

ceding day—he was received by the States. with the

and ;coo:smalls. of gunpowder.
The Ruffian cavalry had been repulfed between
Bruno and Olmtuz, with the lois of 300 men.

Charles and John have formed a junpion. and are
advanetng by forced marches towards Germany.

the numbers and the difiribution of the regiments.
Changes have likewife been made in the deflination'
of the

che; ;re appointed to the firi refer:ire ; anti the
Prince of Orange Fulda has alto orders to join
Prince Louis Ferdinand has the command of the ad-
vanced guardof the army of Hohenkihe.

OLMUTZ, NOV. n.—The combined army of 4uf•
ttians and *Ruffians has made.two marches in advance
upon the enemy, but the latter appears to avoid
battle. The head quarters of the mks Emperors were
yeiterday at Wifchan—the left wing was neat- Cram-
ti':; mud the idvaneediuirdneac Hardifch.

• If we may judge from the march of this army of
the dire ion it *tends to taint, it appears dim in cafe
the Fratich army mall continue ut avoid a battle, the
Aullrio Ruffian army Will incline upon Freiburg,
pals the Danube there, and endeavour to deliia Vi-
enna frOm the French on that fide. This plan mutt
be likewlf; that of the Archduke Charles. His cou-
riers 'arrive at Ohnutz through Hungary. The
French have intercepted one of them.
pac. t.—The bead quarters of the two Emperors
arc to-day at Krilanowitz, two leagues in advance
from Aullerlitz. The Wench' allay bai withdrawn

Schwarzach; in 'the poiltion Of Thirsts, with its left
wing towards timinn. The Grand Doke Conilan-
tine is at ButfchWeil. The Arch duke' Ferdinand was
on the 3oth of November at Paflau.
The latell accounts' from the Archduke Charles
corhe down only to the 17th of November, on Which
day his head-quarters were at Adelfburg, and a corps
of cavalry at Mahrburg, in Styria. The Archduke
John was at aagenfurth.
On the 27th of latt month the Ruffian advanced
guard had a very warm t,tlion with the French, in
which the French cavalry fatted much i we cape&
the particulars of this affair.
Mottav la, DEC. 2.—We have a report of an ac-
tion between a part of the Aultro-Ruffian army and
the French, in which the latter made the attack. We
do not yet know the particulars.
On the 28th ult. the French General SWIM,
Adjutant to the French Emperor, arrived at the
Ruffian head-quarters with a letter from the Em-
peror Naroilos to the Emperor of Rust. He re-
ceived anfwer, with which be returned to the French
head-quarters.

T 4 levy en ore#, which had begun to be orga.
nized on the frontiers of this kingdom has not fue-
ceeded, becaufe the Captains of the Circles thought
it was more prudent to prevent the people from arm
ing, for fear the country fhould be ravaged by the
French, who obferye tolerable good d;fcipline, where
they meet with no refifkance.
Visa MA, Nov. z7.—The Prufflan Cabinet Miniller,
Count Haugwitz, has arrived here. The French
Minitter, Talleyrand, it is known is here. The French
Charge d'Affaires, M. Bacher, has alfo arrived here

caaeau fuddenly received orders to enter Fran-

pofitions, of which be is the bearer, the war will
be molt terrible, and Praia will exert all her ftrength
to maintain her ancient glory. The genius of the
great Frederick appears to animate the whole army,
and the enthufiefm of all claffcs throughout the huf-
fier' Monarchy is extreme.

The young volunteers prefent themfelves in crowds
to offer their fervices to their country, and the Anil

man pt ironer: of war who dcfert by hundreds, come
to enlift among our troops. Several new regiments
are railing, and the army will by there means be
foon augmented to goo.ooo men.
The garrifon of Berlin began its march on Friday,
and that of Potfdans on Wednefday. The brothers
of the King fet oat on the fame day : the eldeft com-
mands the foot guards, and the fecond the body
guards. The equipages of the King have like-
wife fet out; but the day of his Majefty's depar.
tore is not yet determined. His Serene Higbnefs the

In addition to the above extraCts from the Mani,
we have to (late that Government have received at

highly advantageous to the allies, whofe force is in-

expofed to conaant wage by a haraffing retreat, in
Which it is believed, they will hive to contea every

In the action to which we have jai alluded, the
French are Rated to bare lop upwards of 20,000.

Sir AiimnaPaoey flates, that tho Ugh they fought
with the utinOft fteadinefs and gallantry, they were

Thp Allied army maintained their pofitions, that

When Mr. Kat paired through Berlin, news of
this battle had been received there. A Council of
