MARCH 6 —lt mutt be allowed, that the Cape of
Good Hope has not been barely given up ; this even
the enemy does not attempt to deny. General Janfen
had not more than twelve or thirteen hundred men

Home Popham; and to be able to efFett his retreat
up the country before fuch a force, in order further

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE Or AUSTOILITZ.
" TAOFPAU, JAN. 25.—The termination of the
battle of Auks*litz, as to the relish of it, is fo well
known that it is Amon impoffible to conceive hope
France. or any other power, could communicate to
the public an account of it, the falfehood of which
cotfld only be equalled by ire exaggeration. En-
rope, and particularly the Ruffian nation, has a right
to expca a true Ilatement of the whole of this tranf-
adtion. Such a ttatement has been hitherto with-
held from no other motive but the love of troth, and
a nrong defire of invefligating properly what is to
tranfpite before the public. Meanwhile, it is need-
fary to point out and dete& Come &Hides in the
French bulletins, in the 3oth in particular.
" The French General Savory converted only
wish two Gentlemen of the Imperial Suite. and one
Field Adjutant, all three waiting there. either' with
reports fur the Emperor, or with inftruftions which
they were to carry to their refpeitive Commanders.
"The Head of the French Nation was difpleafed-with
fome words that efcaped Prince Dolgorucky. He
thould have recolle&ed that Ruffians arc nut the peo-
ple who eflegm,his proteaion as a favour.
" The Combined Armies, according to the French
Bulletins. confined of 205,000 men, viz. $o ono
Ruffians, and 85,t00 Mariam s in confequence of
which the. French army was confiderably weaker in
numbers. If fo, why was it then that the amount
of it had hot been noted ? Independent of the Re-
feree. which is raid to have contained a whole army,
the force of the enemy confined of four grand divi-
(ions, each 23,000 Prong (ao,ooo infantry; and
goon cavalry), -commanded by one Martha! and
two Generals of Divifton. The Combined Armies,
contrary to what was reported, confined only of
so,ooo Ruffians, and about 57,000 Aullrians. But
this inferiority in numbers was the lead difadvantage
under which the Ruffian army was labouring at the
time. Scarcity of provifions was fo great, that the
troops, for two days previonfly to the engagement,
remained almoft without food. The honks were fo
reduced from want, that they had not ftrength to
draw the artillery, in confequence of which its partial
affirm, during the engagement, proceeded only
from thole places where it had been originally fixed.
The fame fcarcity of provifions and forage making
it impoffible to continue any longer in the environs
of Ohnutz, or take another pofition by falling back,
it refolved at length to prepare for battle, the happy
refult of which could only be expefted from the bra-
very of its troops.
" The Ruffian Imperial Guard, which was re-
ported to have loft all its nandards, has preferved
them to this time, and fo far from lofing any, has
taken one from the enemy.
" The Combined Armies, according to the French
account, 101 l fifteen thoufand in killed, and twenty
thoufand in prifoners. It would be as well to have
told us, whether the twenty thoufand men, Paid to
have been drowned, are included in this account !
Notwithflanding the forced marches--difeaft, occa-
fioned by want and fatigue of war, and the (tetra'
engagements that have taken place on the Inn, and
in Moravia—feventeen thoufandmen is the total lots
of the Ruffian army. If it were really fo great as
has been (Fated in the bulletins, why did not the ene-
my profit by their viflory, and puffin the vanquithed
army, as was Witty reported in one of the bulletins?
The army fo prodigioufly beaten was neither feint.
rated by suountains nor livers I but remained on the
field of battle until the next morning. The armill;ce
like wile, could not prevent the purfuit, for it 'was
concluded only with the Emperor of Autiria, at
whole option the troops commenced their march I
back, and without fullaining the finallett injury—
though, from the French flatement, the enemy *ere
Paid to have been purfuing the vanquinte4 even'
while the communication for fettling the prelimina•
ries was carried on between the two powers. In or-
der to enhance the glory of the day, it was (aid that
the French Guard (corps of referee) was not even
brought into aelion ; this is refuted in the very fame
bulletin, where it is slated, that a French battalion
being defeated by the Ruffian Guard, Bonaparte dif-
patched to the fpot Marlhal Beffier—in confequence
of which " the Imperial Guards on both fides enter
ed immediately into engagement."
" Such are the grofs falfehoods ,with which the
French bulletins are filled, and which, with as great
abfurdity.as ill grace,they endeavour to impale upon
the public by concomitant tales of terror—of horrible
uproar, occationed by two hundred thoutand men
arid two hundred cannons I What advantage can a
great warrior derive from fuch falfehoods ? Is there
any neceffity that Bonaparte lhould employ thefe
means for increafing his military reputation, which
no one is defirous ro deprive him of ?"

Oi.stu rz, JAN. 19.—The latell accounts from Au-
lliiA Nate the number of the French in the hofpitals
at fourteen Omni-and men. When we add to thefe the
ii c or eight thou fand that fell in the battle of Antler-
lit z, it will prove, that this day, which, according
to the French accounts, cult them to fm.ill a num-
ber of men, WAS truly fanguinary, and mull, of
courfe, hare been an advantage dearly pirchafed by
Bonaparte. •

Earl STANHOPE repeated his obialtione N do Ile generally,
mad to tbsiccianies ID particular. Rethought It a thogerous inno-
vation on tbc Conflitution,to fu4r apy of th• proceedings of our
Commas .aw Courts to be regulated by the Conroe( &tufty, and
one of these prowling. had Inch a tendency.
The LOAD CHANCELLOR fad, that the provifoce appeared
to Ifan to remove all the 4:Medic:ma that had been made to the
Bill, and 'slush, they met hie hearty cooenerence. With ref- '
pest to the objedlion of the Noble Earl, he thought it neceflaty • ,
date, that OM:mural not that extraordinary difference which h'
ima tined, between the proceeding, of Courts of Equity and Courts
of Commoo,Law. courts of Equity were obliged to adhere to
all the principles and molt of the forms of the Common Law, and
if they gate a dinsfroo without doing fo, that daemon might ix ap-
, pealed egging In that Houk.
Lord HOLLAND was of opinion, that It was highly Inectrifif-
tent with our cooditunon and laws (or Common Law Courts to
take any of their rules of evidence from a Court of Equity.
Lord ELDON replied in defence or the chutes he had offered
to the Houle; and declared it as hie opinion, that if the Bill was
to pare into a law withcut Inch claufes, it would be a complete nui-
knee---it would teed to fluke the fecurity of Withe real property
in the kingdom, becaufc men would he \gond to declare the titles
by which they held Oates and he liable to give evidence, which
would drip them of all the; polfeßed in the world, and to which,
in point of jollier, they tad the mull unqueitionesle right. He
was happy to find the provikees met the concurrence of the Noble
and Learned Lord on the Woolfack, and he hoped they world be
adopted by the • ionic.
After fume obfereatlons from Lord HOU. ND and the Earl of
Su evoke, the chafes were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to
be read a third time on Friday.
Lord SI'ANHOPE then moved the fccond reading of the Bill
for the Difcovery of Truth. It was read a fecood time, and or-
dered to he committed for bridiy.
