BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ.
The Russian cffciat account efthe battle
or AasgesEfz.
TRoPpAu. January 9s.

TRoPPAu, January IS.
The issue of the battle of Austerlitz
has been so wen confirmed by its conse.
quences, that II is almost incredible how
France could publish such extravagant
and untrue relations of that affair. All
Europe, and the Russian patton in par.
1icular, justly expect relation on our
part. The love Of truth alone, and the
wish to adduce none but well aathen.i-
Gated facts, have hitherto prevented the
appearance Of this relation. In the mean
while, it is necessary to correct some Of
the state mt nts Of the French bulletins,
particularly the ,hirtieth, and to lay them
before the public.
General Savary spoke with two per-
sons only belonging to the Emperor's
suite and, excepting these, he only
saw some field adjutants, who had bro't
dispatches from their chiefs, or were in
waiting to transmit orders to them.
The chief Of the French nation might
not have derived any pleasure from the
conversation Of Prince Dolgurusky; but
he at the same time forgets that the Rus.
SLAMS did not belong to those nations who
ughtthie protection.
The nahber of the allied army, ~
stated in the bulletins, "was los, 900
men, viz: 10000 Russians and IS, 600
Austrians, and the French much inferi.
or" But why were their numbers not
given !-Besides the reserye, which A.
lone was said to be equal to an army, the
enemy's force consisted Of four large di.
visions Of 10000 infantry and 3 1000 ca.
valry each, commanded by a marshal
and two generals Of division. The com.
bined army, on the other hand, consist
cd Of 81, 600 Russians and II, 900 Aus
trians.
But this inferiority in number was the
least misfortune Of the Russian army I:
the scarcity ofprovisions was so great,
that for nearly two days preceding the
battle, they had nothing TO eat. The
horses were fanishsd 70 such . degree,

are of a more favorable complexion, re.
lative to an amicable adjustment of our
differences with Great Britain, than any
previously received.
The happy progress Of Mr.. Monroe's
negotiations, may be attributed, 10 the
particular state Of Europe, to The change
in the British ministry, and to the alarm
excited BY the measures proposed in con-
gress. We had the means for compell-
ing an ultimate adherance to justice, but
II Is questionable, II Pin had lived, whe-
ther he would have consented to such an
t. early adjustment a. we have now ! right
to expeet-it j. interesting, indeed, to
remark the anxiety Of the public prints of
England to deyeloPe and recommend the
best means for creating and strengthen-
ipx Friendship with this country: this
anxiety u general. =
Our wartime strength (says Lon.

that those belonsingto the artillery could
no longer draw. Of course, in the bat.
tie, the artillery was Of little use, exc
eepting in those stations where il was at
FIRST planted. The total failure Of pro-
visions and forage was alone suficientto
prevent our maintaining our post any
longer At Olmutz, or to take another
station further in the rear. These cir.
cumstances urged the necessity of the
battle, the happy result Of which could
only be expected from the valor Of the
troops. The Imperial guard, Of which
it is said, in bulletin, that it lost all i,s
colors, are still IN possession Of them,
and have taken one pair from the enemy.
The combined army, it is said, lost
Il, 5000 killed and 90, GOO prisoners. Do
they include among these the 10000
said to have been drowned.
After 90 many forced marches, and
so much fatigue and hunger as has been
sustained, with the sickness consequent
thercunto sitter the affairs upon the
Danube and in Moravia, Of the whole
Russian army there is not deficiency
Of more than II 900 men. But, were
the loss as considerable a. the bulletin
has pretended, why was not the Russian
army pursued, As that bulletin falsely
asserts !-On the contrary, the Russian
army kept the field to the next morning.
The armistiee was not concluded, but
with the emperor OF Germany, at whose
particular de sire the Russians FIRST COM
menced their retreat, and which was all
80 effected in good order and without
loss, notwithstanding the French partly
assert, that during the negotiation with
Austria, the French army prosecuted
its victories. To enhance the glory of
this day, the French bulletin say 8, that
the French guard, [,he reserve corps)
took no part in the battle. The same
bulletin however afterwards asserts, that
when one French battalion was broken
by the Russian guard, Buonaparte order.
ed marshal Bessieres to advance, and
that the Imperial guards On both aides Ing
medinteiy came 70 action.

false statements, over which the pre-.
tended noise and distraction, occasioned

can be taken 10 reason between different
parts Of the same state. But neutrals
have fright to trade with colonies in as
ample an extent a. the mother country
will alloyit. The right depends not on
the chance fwar, nor on the will OF the
belligerent. If the orders ofthe British
government alluded to contained the
known law of nations, there would have
been no occasion for any Of them, nor
could they have varied from each other,
in the manner in which they do so vary.
Inow, says he, proceed to shew that the
decisions are contrary to the agreement
between the two governments on this
subject. By the order Of November
1898, come hundred American vessels
were carried into port and condemned.
Those seizures we're submitted 70 com.
missioners, who condemned them and
awarded compensations, which Great
Britain has honorably paid. ItisimPos-
sible not to consider wha& passed on that
occasion, but as an adjustment Of the pre-
sent principle, and until the case Of the
ESSEX, not one American vessel engag.
ed in this commerce has been condemn
ed. although frequently met with by the
British cruizers. In Robinson's reports,
page 500, it's clearly established by the
learned judge Of the admiralty, that an
American has right to import the pro-
duee Of an enemy's colony into the Unit
ed States, and to send It afterwards for
the general commerce of Europe; and
that the landing of the goods in the u
nited States, and paying the duties,
should preclude all further question up
on the voyage. :.
Lord Hawkesbury afterwards, in q
communication Oft 18th of April, ex-
pressly stated the same thing-thas the
produce Of the colonies might legally be
imported into the United States, and
from thence into the mother country +;
and thus the produce ofthe colonies and
the manufactures Of the mother country
might find their way to each other by this
eireuitous route. He complains, that
after this understanding between the two
countries, that this opinion should be de.
parted from in case Of the Essex, which
served as a signal for the British erui.
GERS, and that since that time above fifty
American ships, engaged in this COM
merce, have been carried into British
ports, and are detained. He complains,
that Britain gave no intima,ion Of an IN
tention to change her conduct on these
p"ints-He adds, that he makes this
communication in hops Of . friendly
adjustment, no. only on this subject, but
also on the other, of impressipg Ameri-
can seamen, which he admits Is a mat.
ter Of peculiar delieacy. by reason ofthe
similarity ofpersons and manners, and
particularly from the identity oflanguage
with the two nations"

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.

EuAAADGAEl AAS NAAy Ao'-~---
We learn, from a gentleman who ar
rived in this city day or two ago, from
st. Domingo, that, d the time OF his
departure there werevery general move
ments among the subjects of the black
emperor Dessalines. What the actual
cause of this was be did not understand,
but il was said that some adviees had
been received by way Of Jamaica, that
taught the blacks . expect speedy at
: tack. The consciousness of these adyi.
ces were that Dessalines was putting the
black army into an active organization
for war al the money, valuable pro-
perty and goods we're removed to the
moun.ainous country ID the interior, and
all the white inhabitants were ordered to
remove from the sea coast.
During the recent eelebration ofsome
fete French family had made It's escape
fromthe Cape, butbeing soon after miss
cd by Gen. Christophe, he attributed the
circumstances 70 the cohniyanee Of some
Americans in consequence, Chris.
topic ordered the commander and erews
Of all the American vessels az the Cape
to be seized and put in close confinement,
threatening to shoot or hang them all.
Upon an investigation, however it ap.
peared that the Americans had not aid.
ed the escape Of the fugitives, who had,
in fact succeeded il making the French
lines ct the city Of Sc. Domingo. The
Americans were then released.
The degradation, to which the Ame-
rieans trading to the i'adigene ports are
reduced, is low and Illuminating as any
thing TO be found in the annals of the
D6tch at Japan. Such is the opiniouo of
The Americans, entertained by the blacks,
in consequence Of the meanness Of some
that trade there, that Dessaliaes laughs
at the Law Of Congress, interdictins the
trade. and in exulting and eontcmptuous
language declares that A. long a he
has a bag Of coffee or a dollar, he will
never want Americans ready and wiling
10 buy them, in disregard ofali laws"
gentleman Of dis city is said to be
Desalines correspondent and agent. It
was mentioned AZ the Cape, by persons
who had intercourse II the black court,
that Dessalines had purchased an estate
in PENNSYLVANIA, near Philadelphia, a.
. retreat in the event Of an imperial houi.
Versement. .... -.

the Warrington Federaiisf, was at the
