HAMUURGII PAPERS.

'The Harnburgh Papers of the sth init. one day
iatcr than thofe received by yefterday's Mail, have
come to hand, from which we have been able to fe•
fome intereaing articles. T:.ere is, however,
fome ccntradini-..r. among then], as might naturally
be erpett,:d. the regular conintuni,ations with the
anterior of Germany being intercepted.
There appears to be no truth whatever in a report
which has been Rated in a l'sfornhig Paper, that his
Proffian Majetly had obtained terms of peace. On
the contrary, the French are fellov. ing :;h ar-
dour, the advantages they have gained ; and the KING
of PILUIIItI, it is laid, Elands piedg;:d to the Ersra-
eon of ROMA, not to conclude a peace without his
concurrence, whatever may be the cOnfequenccs of

the war.
It appears that the remains of the Pruffian army
maimed very great difficulty in its retreat. It is

. .
hoped, however, that the Corps tinder Prince,Ho-
ousaome, or at leaft part of it, has ekaped. It is
but too cattain, however, that it (offered very fe-
verely ; and focus accounts Bite patively drat Prince
Ho rt sw tons was taken partner. The latter is Rated
pofitively in the PoAkript to the Lore dir Borferebalk,
' (the Hamburgh Lloyd's Litt) of the 4th. The Cor-
refpondou of the sth, however, fay% that the report
of Prince Honsatow a being taken ',droner does not
cell on any authority. There is no doubt, however,
that his Corps was defeated.
Stettin, we underhand from private letters, has
furrendered. Private letters from Copenhagen, of
the ill November, nate, that the Engltfh Conful at
Stettin, with his family, had art ived in a fwift failing
veal. He left Stettin on the 3oth OClober, at which
time the French were about to enter the place.
The corps under the Duke of Weimar and Blunt.-
' wick Oels was beaten at Plauen, and afterwards at
Gal'row, and it is not very well known what is become
of it. There likewife had been louse affirms between
this corps and the French who were in putfuit of it.
From the vague particulate in the Hamhurgh papers,
we fhould fuppofe that the corps of Prince Holism.
DOW& had effected its retreat to the Oder, and that
the troops under the command of the Duke of Saxe
WEIMAR, after an ineffellual attempt to penetrate by
'the fame route, had withdrawn towards Pomerania.
But if it be true that the French were in Inch force
at Berlin, on the 26th, as to have pufhed three
columns forward on that dry, neither the Ptirce
of HOHENIONI nor the Duke of WkIMAR could
have effeOed a retreat to the Oder. The termer
was at Neulledt, upon the Dmr,., on the 251 h ult. and
the latter did not creel's the Elbe at &soden until the
following day ; both of which, places are almoa two
days march to the North-weft of Berlin. A retreat
would therefore be impracticable, if the French had
brought up any confiderable force to the neighbour-
hood of that city.

The Corps of Sorrel. and 13/104ADOTTa are in pnrfuit
of the Duke of WtIMAR and General BcocH&a.—
Sout.T•is Paid to have near 30,,500, and BEStiADOTTI
near 4.0,000 men, employed in hunting down all the
remains of the Praians between the Eibe and the

Private letters Rate that the Kivuo and Q. 2 tax of

Nothing can now afford to the FruMans the (mallet
chance of being able to rally and recruit their force,
but the fupport of the Ruffians, who are Hated to be
advancing rapidly to the theatre of war. Their num-
ber is reported to be not lefs than 250,000 ; but we
can hardly believe that they are fo numerous. Should
they advance in time to Pave the wrecks of the Pruf•
flan army, and put tome (lop to the progrefs cf the
French, fomething might yet be hoped for from the
Auftrian Government, which has recruited its army,
and would willingly, if it could with any kind of
prudence ufe its efforts to aft in overturning the
coloffal power of the French. At Vienna, it was
the general belief and with, before the campaign
commenced, that Aultria would take a part in
the war. Its commencement has, however, proved
fo difaftrous, that no movement of that nature
can now be expelled. And yet, if the army now
collefling under the Archduke CHAKLE3, which will
amount to about too.ooo men, were boldly to bear
down from Bohemia, through Saxony, and place
thernfelves on the rear of the French, while they
are in an enemy's country, and pet haps oppofed in
front by the Ruffians, Bo AAAAA re would be in the
Moll dangerous fituation in which he was ever placed.
Hate of affairs upon the Continent is interea- ,
Ing poiyona any former example in every refpee, but
in pine more than as it affects our commercial opera-
tions. It teems to be the opinion of many of the belt
informed perfons, that Hamburgh wil be (pared. It
is confidently expected alfo that Bremen will not be
enolefted ; or at lest in neither cafe will there be any
hoflility beyond the exaction of a contribution.
Letters of the sth from Hamburgh, and from Cur.
haysti of the 6th, (late pofitively that no French
troops had entered Hanover. The accounts of their
having entered Bremen, which had been circulated ,
on the reports of Mailers of neutral veffels, are deili.

These was a Ct.uncil yenerday, and in the evening

A veffel has arrived from Cadiz, which left that
port on the 25th otoClober. Letters have been re-
ceived by this conveyance, which flute that die Spa-
nifh Government had declared the country in danger,
and it was refilved to raife an additional force of
so,ooo men. Of this Cadiz was to futni9i tOOO

Mr. WHIT BR RAD then came forward, and addretTed
the Elators in the name and on behalf of his Right
Hon. )friend Mr. SH ER and congratulated the
iends of that Gentleman on the iltue of the poll of
the day.
Sir S. Hoots again repeated his gratitude to the
Eleflors for maintaining his majority at the head of 1
the poll.
Mr. PAULL once more complained of the coalition
between the Admiral and Mr. Sheridan. The former,
he obfervedl had got his majority by a fraud, which.
had he the fish it of a Britifh tar, he would not have
attempted. It was a I.'l, that he had canvalred the
two parifhes of St. Margaret and S.. John, where he
got 400 votes all to himfelf, as he declared be Rood
alone, and vriu unconneaed with either Candidate.—
The Admiral. after this, perceiving the Treafurer of
the Navy fwimming for exillence, calt a rope round
his neck, and kept his head above water. He then
took him in tow, fo that it literally might be Paid the
Treafurer of the Navy ever after had moved in the
wait of the yellow Admiral.
MIDDLESEX.—SECOND DAY

The affembling before the Huffing! at Brentford,
was not, yefterday, very numerous till towards the
dole of the poll. The bugle and confufion was by
no means fo great as at the left eletioo fol Middle-
rex, partly owing to the 'mutually quiet wayin which
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has commenced at prefent,
and partly owing to the attraaion of the Wefimin•
tier Eleaion. Still, however, the day did not pars
without Come of thofe fccnes thatgenerallyaa. afterift
a popular election, keenly conteited. The mob amufed
themfelves for Come time by forming a ring, and pdh-
ing into it fome unlucky ftragglets who, the moment
they got there, reeved as a fort of footballs, being
toiled, cuffed, and kicked about, to the great amufe-
ment of the delighted populace. This, however, was
loon followed by fomething more fakirs ; for two
of the gentlemen, who appeared to be farmers' la-
bourers. thinking a pity that fo elegant a ring fhould
be formed almoft for nothing, refolved to treat the
fpeaatcrs with a boxirg match. They maintained
the cor,tefl for fame time with great vigour, but were
at length feparated by the conitabler, not much to
the regret of the amateurs, who exprefted their con-
tempt of the bufinefs, as little or no Icience was dif
played on either fide. At the poll an objeaiott was
taken to a tenon and parifh clerk, who teemed to
claim a vote in right of their office. The objettion,
however, we underhand, was fultained.
The poll, during the whole of the day, was very
flack. At the elate, the numbers were as follows :

William hieliAlt, Erg. - 433
George Byng, Erq. - fat
Sir Francis Burdett toB

After the number' had been declared,

Mr. 13vrrn advanced to the front of the !innings;
the oproar was great, but he fucceeded in returning
thanks to the Eledors for their exertions.

Sir Flamm BURDETT then came forward, and
was greeted with the ufual applaufes by the crowd.
Mr. Mawstr.-4, Gentlemen, I can all'u►e you,
that I feel proud of the fituation in which you have
placed me, and I hope you will always keep me at
the head of the poll."
The Court was then adjourned.

The road from Brentford was, as nfual, covered
with crowds of people, exclaiming " Burdett for
ever," of the different carriages pawed.
