BERLIN, DECEMBER to.

We received, the day before yeflerday, intelligence
of a decifive battle which cock place near Turas, be-
twein the Ruffians and the French, and which ter•
minated entirely to the advantage of the former.—
The lofsof both armies iseflimatedat twenty fire thou-
fend men. But what caufed the greatea difquietude
amongfl the Aullro Ruffian army, was their being
ignorant, during the whole day of the 3d, of the
fituation of the Emperor of Ruffia, it not besirg
known what had become of that Monarch. Happily
yellerday we received in this repeal the molt fatisfac•

tory intelligence. His Majeay had erpored his • per
fon in the midft of his truops, but his brave folditrs
had delivered hill from danger. It is Paid that he
had three honks killed under him. This monarch
• difplays a bravery which makes us fear for his life.
On the 4th the Ruffians retrieved the check which
•they had received the preceding day ; they retook
their ammunition, as well as the prifoners which. the
enemy had made, and refumed their former poll-
whila the enemy retreated. The time when
the Ruffians propofed to make their attack the ene-
my was informed of twenty-four hours previoufiy—
having been alfo informed by a deferter that the Em.
reror Alexander was in the centre of the army, the
french bore down upon it with all their force, and
fueceeded in breaking it. The news being carded
to Olmuta, the. Emperor of Germany advifed his
augult fpnure to retire with his family to Tefchen.—
Prince Pangration, who was with his corps at fume
dalance from the field of battle, immediately made
a movement, attacked fiercely the riztit wing of the
French, and operated a favourable diverlinn for the
Auflto Ruffian army. The Autrians fought with a
valour which defer►es the higheft praife. We expeß
every moment the details and the refult of this glo-
riot's affair.

Difpatches were received from Count flauswirz,
dated from Vienna, the zd
After the 4th, when rortnne had decide in favour
of the Combined Army, they refutned their potation
,near Auiletlitz, and prepared to attack the enemy
again on the sth. During the battle the general cry
of the Rut'-Lana was " Viaory or Death." The re-
ement of Guards commanded by the Grand Duke
Conflantine fought with heroic valour. Vie Au.

" We have Ina etccived information from

my and that of France, which lafted three ,lays,,
fng which time.the advantages. were in ktvotir,of the
former, who have beaten .the rrertch, and have dri-
ven them to the gates of Vienna. The brave Ai, Ex
Aetna himfelf led his troops through fire ; but what
am I laying, there was little or no. firing. The battle

counts fan that from forty to fifty thottfind men have
fallen in thee engagements.. We look anxinutly for
a confirmation of this report ; but there does not ap-
rar, that a doubt exins of the advantage having

" Bruncrice, Slturclay evening, December 14.

is I have this moment learnt the particulars of a
great viSory, obtained by the Combined Forces, af-
ter an aftion of four days. The French have loft in
the whole between forty and fifty thoufand men. On
the &II day the Ruffians were completely worßed,
sad loft fevern thaw:cad men, notwithflanding
which they did not yield an inch of ground.
" The Emperor ALIXANDSR was miffing for fix
hours, and when found by the Chief of his Staff,
'was iu the middle of his troops, exhorting them to
jest and fall to a wan. it is therefore nut to be won-

..

demi at Tat the ItutGant fought with ruch uncem•
mon bravery.
" In the commencement of the action, the French

attacked the whole of the Au(lrian troops, in hopes
of cutting them off from the Ruffians, but they

met the attack like men, and did not flinch from
the charge.
" On the fecond day the Rtaans loft all their ar-
tillery, and when in the greaten diftrefs, the French
having turned it on both Ruffians and Auflrians, the
brave ALEXANDER again cheered his troops by his
pretence.

"The artillery, in order to be attended wrath greater
drat, had been placed on an eminence, that com-
manded the Combined Armies. It was here that the
pretence of ALEXANDIR proved moil useful. He
told his troops, that however defperate the under-
taking, they mull retake the artillery.' Mete brave
fellows immediately set about accomplithing their
Mallet's orders ; to effeet which they were obliged 1
to creep on their hands and knees. till they came un-
der- the mouths of the cannon ; then charging the
enemy with the bayonet, they facceeded in !heir eili-
jeel, after performing prodigies of valour. This molt
defperate rencontre lathed twelve hours. Not a mut-
ket was fired during the time. The Combitied Army
on the 3d and 4th day beat the enemy completely.
BomermetE, dawn to his flifts, demanded a truce,
with a threat of burning Vienna to the ground, if his
requelt was not complied with. The French Em.
peror was ;:early made prifoner ; he was only pre-
ferred by the desperate mam'cr in which his body
guards fobght. The adion is fp,ken of as the moll
