) fUninon. Thursday, November 14. K>UR Hamburgh raaib arrived late last night. From the.se it appears, that, notwithstand- ing the late successes of the French, the spirit aoxl conifdence'of the Courtof Vienna, are not; j treaUy shaken. The otiiciai account in the \1enna, Cöurt Gazette, of the action of the '18th 'ult. states that the French passed the Adigu on that day, but the"advantages theyv-gasfied were, trifling, and of short duration; th'g' Archduke Charles proposed to attack them on the morning of the 19th, but they had evacuated all their positions oh the'right bank-and destroyed the Bridge of Verona. ,1 1 h«. letaiar Cohrt Q&zette also states, that iio- thiiu h «• been attempted by the French agains! the iyrol, Aud that the battles near Ulm ha-vec'onsi- derabiy weikened their force. General .\Laf.fc, on his arrival at Vienna, was sent a state prisoner to Brumi, in Moravia. A council. of war will be held on his conduct. Before his de- parture from the French army he had two audi- ences of who sent by him a letter to the Emperor of Austria, containing, it is said, flattering propositions for a separate peace. The Emperor of Germany has set out for his army in'G'-rrnam. aiad, with a resolution worthy ofliis illustrious house, has resolved to command it in person. The Emperor of Russia was expected at I'C -1 Vienna early this month. A» article from Hanover of the 5th states, that tiit"- Prussians have received orders to halt; and that .convention has been entered into with Prus- sia, '^jwhich 30,000 Prussians are to be stationed in the ISiectorate; the pay to be furnished partly by Prussia, anct partly by the Electorate. This morning some more Paris papers to the 6th were received. An article from Munich says, the. Austrians are in full re,reat behind, the S:dtza, that a part of the French army is proceeding to Saltz- .bourgh, and that the g and army wiii scon effect a junction in Carinthia with the army of Italy. A rumour is in circulation that Prtisda and Rus- sia have concluded a treaty or offensive and defen- sive alliance, and that it was signed at Berlin by the respective monarchs immediately after the ar- rival of the Emperor Alexauder. The report thus cofitinues :-I- By this treaty Prussia engages to make a common cause with England, Russia ana Austria, if Bonaparte do not xcce'de to the terms oi peace which have been proposed to him.—The ob- ject of Ehirotfs mission to Berlin wisto invite Prus sia either to join France, or in the event of her not joining her, to preserve a strict neutrality.—The first proposition was immediately rejected. When Prussia evinced an intention of no longer remaining neutral, and transmitted a note on the Mid ult. to the French ministers Laforest and Lmroc, Bona- parte in answer to that note demanded perempto- rily, that Prussia should immediately declare for or x against him.—The King of Prussia instantly com- municated this peremptory demand to the Em- peror ol Russia, and the two Monarchs in concert returned an-answer, in which they proposed— "That Naples should be evacuated by the French troops; that the treaty of Luneviile should be ex- ecuted to its full extent; that Switzerland and Hol- land should be declared independent; and the, re- gal dignity ofluly be for ever separated from the imperial dignity of Fra: c. If these propositions were acceded to, Russia promised to evacuate Cor- fu; but It they were rejected, the Prussian, army would commence its operations. "This answer was iitimediately transmitted to Bonaparte's head-quarters. Letters from our Generals in Germany mention,, (says a. letter from Paris), that Bonaparte was furi- ous after raadme: before Uim a dispatch from Du- roc, at Berlin, and su-id, in the presence of bisStaff- off-icF,rs, -I sh.'i.'i scon teach my brother Frederic, ■ in his o^n ratui j, to vise other language," They do not doubuil our array, but that Bonaparte, as soon as he emu nanded a4 peace in the South of C.-rn. • i\, • mi march towards the North, already hf r *■ to unr sob'iiers i,,s.an European Peru, from the f >s>r <- collected during a kin., neutrality.— The P-ussim » mt»as<adorhere has Jatefy absented hiyri- T lr< <1 SPVM! of qur offiadC ishionable circles. 1 ma with some secret prep r itioris, make 1;[. 6 eVe, o;-ir pol'tic' I that he intt n <s to pass the winter somewhere else; and has no douot occa- stoned a report, which is now generally current, oi an offensive and defensive treaty being concluded between Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Hessia, and Eng- land. It is also said, that England is to take 60,000 Prussians, 40,000 Russians, and 12,000 Hes- stans, in its pHy and that these troops, together with 30,(YJOtrorn Great Britain, are to. act against Holland and the Low Countries. Bonaparte de- clared to General Nhck, at Ulm, that France I la should never sign a treaty of peace with Russia and England, which did not force these powers to eva- cuate entirely the Mediterranean." Sixteen thou- sand of our troops ordered; for Touton, have, how- ever, received counter-orders, and are now on their inarch for Brabant, and the Lower Rhine."

"But the Sovereign of France, totally regardless of the general tranquillity., listened.-not to these overtures. Wholly absorbed m himself, and dccu- pied only with the display of his owh .greatness I und ontfifpotence, he collected all bis. torce--com- pelled Holland and the Elector of Baden to join him—whilst his secret aily, the Elector-Palatine, false .to' his sacred promise, voluntarily delivered himself up.to him; violated, in the most insulting manner, the neutrality of the King of Prussia, at the very moment that he had given the most so- lemn, promises to respect it; and by these violent proceedings he succeeded in surrounding and cut- ting oft a.part of the troops which I had ordered to take a position on the Danube and the Filer, and finally, in compelling them to surrender, after a brave resistance. "A Proclamation. no less furious than any to which the dreadful period of the French Revolu- tion gave birth, was issued, in order to animate the Frenchanny to the highest pitch of courage.

"In the name, and at the express command of the Emperor and King. Vienna, Oct. ao. FRANCIS Count SAURAU." Proclamations no less spirited have been issued among the inhabitants of Hungary and the Tyrol, and these have been followed up by a requisition for all the sons of the nobility and citizens to enter into the Militia, and to periorm garrison duty in the capital and suburbs; and upon all classes of the inhabitants to enter into the reserve divisions of the Lower Austrian regiments, and tij hold themselves.in readiness on the requisition of'the town magistrates. All strangers are further ordered, within six days, to quit the town of Vienna, with the excep- tion of the subjects of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the Rings of Prussia, England, Sweden and Denmark, and of the Fdectors of Saxony and Plesse. An embargo has likewise beendaid on all horses and waggons, that they may be ready for the pub- lic service in case of need. So strong an appeal to the gallantry and patrio- tism of .the people, has produced alb that the Em- peror of Germany could have expected or desired. The young men of all classes have incorporated themselves to do garrison ,duty-the divisons ,of reserve of the-Austrian regiments are filling with the utmost rapidity. Contributions of grain and iorage, of every thing necessary for the army, are furnished with a pleasing alacrity and promptitude. The.general Levy has been called for bv the una- nimous voice of the people: All, all." say the Vienna letters, are animated with patriotism and courage.—Never was such enthusiasm displayed as at this present moment, nothing will be omitted no sacrifice wili be deemed too great, to rescue us from -the greatest of all evils and curses, a French invasion." In these patriotic and energetic measures, the Hungarian nation likewise partakes, and the Count Ugarte has been dispatched to Prague, in order to organise the national militia, and to adopt the ne- cessary means of defence. One sentiment appears to animate all, and all are wanned by the same enthusiastic .fervour. In the Tyrol, there are 20,000 armed militia, and the levy cn masse has been put.in motion, The Hungarians have also decreed at their Diet the raising of an army of 50,000 men, and 20,000 recruits to complete the army already in the field. Nor do their efforts stop here. In: addition to this effective force thev have appeared cquaHy anxious to provide supplies tor the Austrian army, and a voluntary donation of ?I),OOO measures of oats, and 10,000 horses, has been given. Thus these brave people havejust;incd f the confidence of their Emperor/who reminded, them of the valiant deeds of their forefathers" iir J Ml, and expressed to them his reliance on their present exertions, • It appears now that not only Prince Ferdinand's division effected its escape iro in dm, but also another division which took the route oi the Tyrol. The second and third Russian armies are advanc- i ing; with great rapidity. l'he loss of the French in the different actions near Ulm was between twenty and thirty thousand men..1 hey 'lost many men in two actions-which the French bulletins sunk altogether, the actions of the 11th and 14th. Bonaparte's army labours also under a great, want of provisions, a want which is liion i« become more pressing every day. Letters irom 11 ill.ind of the I lth inst. mention, that inteliUeut c ol tne \ictory Oyer the Combined Fleets had iea' lied Rotterdam from England, and had caused an uncommon sensation. One letter in. particular mentions, that information of this important event had also been received from Paris. The writer says, It is ascertained here, that a j severe actum has at length been Lughtbetwcen the English and the Combined Fleetfe off Cadiz all that we hear on the subject is, that ten sail re- ,urned to Cauiz, not being wanted in the action! A geiitlenian in. the city has been, employed by Government to take up a of. Prussian ves- sels in this country, to be converted into trans- ports, for immediate service. Several have been already engaged at a very lihcrai price. SATURDAY, November 16.. This evening's Gazette contains, the following copy of a letter from the Eight lion. Lord Coliing- wood, Vice-Admirai of the Red, &c. to W. Marsdeu, oil board the Euryaius, off Cadiz, October 33,1804. SIR, -Since my letter to you of the 24th, stating the proceedings of his Majesty's squadron, our si- i n" 1 tuation/has been the most critical, and our employ- ment the most arduous that ever 'a fleet was en- • gaged in. On the 2-lth and 35th it blew a most vi- olent gate. of wind, which compleatly dispersed, the ships, and drove the captured hulls in all direc- tions.—I have since ^been employed in collecting an! destroying them, where they are at anchor upitn the coast between Cadiz and six leagues west- ward of San Lucar, without the prospect of saving on< to bring into port.—I mentioned in my former let'er the joining of. the Donegal and Melpemeue after the action I cannot sufficiently praise the ac- tivity of their Commanders in giving assistance to the squadron in destroying the enemy's ships.-— Tee Defiance, after having stuck to the Aigle as long asit was pbssible, in hope of saving her from wreck, which separated her for some time from the squadron, was obliged to abandon her to her fate, and she went on shore.—Captain Durham's exer- tions have been very great.—I hope I shall get them all destroyed by to-morrow, if the weather keeps moderate.—In the gale the Royal Sovereign and Mars lost their fore-masts, and are now rigging auew, where the body of the squadron is at anchor to tbe N. W of San Lucar, I find that on the return of Grayina to Cadiz, he was immediately ordered to sea again, and came out, which made it necessary for me to form a line to: cover the, disabled hulls; that night it blew hard, and his ship, the Prince of Asturias, was dis- masted, and returned into port; the Rayo was also dismasted and fell into our hands Don Enrigue M. Deuel had his broad pendant in the Rayo, and from him I find the Santa Anna was driven near Ca-' diz, and towed in by a frigate. J- am, Sir, &c.. C. COLUSTGWOOO. P.

[Exclusive of Lord Collingwood's dispatch, this Gazette likewise contains letters, with inclosur.es, asunder;—1. A letter, transmitted' by the Hon. Admiral Cornwallis, giving an 0f the cap- ture of a Spanish gun-boat, carrying 1 24-poUnd'er and 28 men, in Vigo bay, Sept. 23,' by the Aigle, Capt. Wolle the Aigle had been previously at- tacked by nine Spanish gun-boats, which were com- pelled to a hasty retreat 2. A letter fron) Captain Hancock, of his Majesty's ship Cruizer, reporting to Admiral Lord Keith the capture of Le Vengeur French privateer, on the 12th one of theene- my's cruixers that has lately infested the coast from Lowestoffe towards the Galopcr. Oh the after- noon of the day on which the above vessel was cap- tured, she had taken 'two Swedish brigs, one laden with salt from Liverpool, the other from Boston in Lincolnshire, in ballast. She is a beautiful new lugger, and esteemed the fastest sailing vessel out of France. This Gazette also contains letters (transmitted by Rear-Admiral Lord Cochrane, on the'Leeward Island station) tioiu Lieu tcijaiit of the armed sIcopcPQmimca, aad from Captain Clinch, of the Ospfey sloop, announcing several captures in the West-Indies, of no other importance than as serving to evince the gallantry of the officers and seamen .by whom the prizes were taken.] The foltOTvisig letters from Cadiz anci Lisbon con- tain some additional particulars of the late glorious victory. Gravina has lost an arm, and the slaugh- ter on board his ship is said to have amounted.to 300 killed and 25t wounded. Great rejoicings took place at the English houses at Lisbon, in con- sequence of the victory :—• Cadiz, Get. 22.—An action has taken place be- tween the combined squadron and the English: it commenced at twelve o'clock yesterday, and lasted without intermission tilt four, P. M. This morning z, by day-break, there anchored at the entrance of this harbour, El Principe de Asturias, El Leandro, and Elltayo, with two more Spanish ships and se- veral French. Admiral Gravina had lost an arm, and Rear Admiral Escano has a wound in the leg. It seems as if this squadron was about to sail again, as the crews are employed in getting up new rig- ging. The above-mentioned ships are considera- bly damaged. The Leandro has not a mist standing." "Lisbon, Nov. 4.—The glorious victory of Tre- falgar has been celebrated here by three nights il- lumination at the" houses of the English. The slaughter on board Gravina's ship was dreadful, no less than 300 killed (including 16 officers) and 254 wounded! On the morning of the 23d he came out of Cadiz again, with a view of picking up some of the disabled ships, but was driven back by seven of our squadron he is said to be wounded in the arm. The French Admiral Magon is said to be among the prisoners, in addition to Villeneuve, Alaba, and Cisneros." The battle of the 21st has spread the greatest alarm in Spain—curses of the French are mingled with regret for the loss of so great a part of the Spanish navy; and private letters from Cadiz re- ceived at Lisbon, speak of the 21st of October as "being a. dreadful disastrous day for Cadiz." A Prussian officer arrived at Deal yesterday, on board the Tribune frigate, which carried out Lord Harrowby. He is rumoured to have brought with him a copy of the treaty of offensive and defensive alliance between Great Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia., and Sweden together with the Prussian declaration of war against France. The funds ex- perienced in consequence a considerable rise this morning. The 14th and 15th bulletins of the grand army and the 3d bulletin of the army of Italy have been brought by the Paris papers to the 10th and Dutch to the 14th which arrived last night. From these bulletins it appears that the Austrians continue to retreat, and thefrench,ill consequence, have made some trilling progress without opposition, but as much snow has fallen, and the roads are very bad, their career is likely to be considerably impeded. A sketch of the Russian army and people is said to have been furnished Bonaparte by a Russian Scr- jeant-major, a deserter, who gives the most lament- able picture of the Russian army and the Russian people, and they are represented as having no ¡,Lt- tachment t-o the Emperor Alexander.as having been fonder of the^imperor Paul, and as detesting their own country. The fifteenth bulletin has the following insolent passage: "The husbandman would no longer exchange" his produce for a paper currency of no value. There is not a man in all Germany, who does not consider the English as the authors of the war,and the Emperors Francis and Alexander as the victims of their intrigues. The cry in every mouth is, that there will be no King as long as England is govern- ed by an Oligarchy, and governed it will be^in. that way as fong as GEORGE lives. T/te accession of the PRIJSCE of yVAiKS is therefore generally wished for on this account, that iftcillput an end to the power of the few, who in all countries are selfish and insensible to the misfortunes of the people." In Italy the French state themselves to have been successful. The village of Caldiero is said to have been carried by Massena, and the Austrians defeated with the loss of 3,500 prisoners, and as many killed and wounded. Of the battle between the English and combined fleets, accounts have, reached Paris but hitherto no official notice has been taken of the battle. One of the minor papers has published a short article upon the subject: but if it knew the result of the bj battle, it did not dare to acknowledge it—it mere- ly says, that both fleets fought with the greatest bravery, that one Spanish and one English ship are reported to have blown up, and that, at the end of the engagement, a storm dispersed the ships. Three Gottenburgh instils arrived yesterday.— 'The accounts brought by these confirm the arrival of the King of Sweden at Stralsund, accompanied by Baron Armfeldt. The English Ambassador, Mr. Pierrepoint, it appears, met him there. An army consisting of 25,000 Russians and 25,000 Swedes, immediately prepared to march, and are to be un- der the immediate command of his Swedish Majes- ty in person, who has-issued a spirited proclama- tion on the occasion. MONDAY, November 18, The Hamburgh mail which arrived this morning has brought intelligence of Count Haugwitz having set out for Bonaparte's head quarters with propo- sitions for a General Peace. But in the mean time the Prussian armies are assembling and taking po- sitions calculated to act with immediate effect. At midnight, on the [Jth of November, his Rus- sian Majesty, and the King of Prussia, at the tomb of Frederic the Great, iu the garrison church at Potsdam, laid their bands on the chest which con- tains the remains of that great man, and inter- changed vows of eternal friendship and inviolable fidelity. The Emperor of Russia has left Berlin, and has proceeded to Wiemar, from thence he proceeds to Dresden. The parting between the two Princes is z' represented as having been most cordial and friendly, and both were sensibly affected on the occasion. The Hamburgh mail contains an article from Vi- enna, of Oct. 30, which stales that'General Mack ar- rived there on the 96th, but was not permitted to enter the city. This prohibition is not more to be considered as a mark of the Imperial displeasure, than as an essential, benefit conferred upon him for his conduct has excited the indignation of the people to such a.degree, that there was reason to fear that they would treat hiiji with personal insult. The Emperor did not admit, him to an interview before he set out on his journey jmd to his re- quest to have atrial before a Conrt Martial, his Ma- jesty answered, that the. trial should be conducted with strictness, but with justice. An investigation is commenced relative to the conduct of General Mack and all the other officers to whom the misfor- tunes of the arn.y are attributed. At a late hour last night Paris papers to the lltli and Dutch to the 15th were received.. From the fourth bulletin of the army ofltaly it appears, that after the battle of Caldiero, a division or 5000 Aus- trians, under General Hillinger, was 'cut off from the corps of General Rosemberg, and compelled to capitulate seventy officers are said to be in- cluded amongst the prisoners. The Archduke Charles' still continues to retreat. The accounts from Germany state that General Woli'skehl escaped from. Ulm to the Tyrol, with 15,000 menu He is new advancing from the Tyrol, and is said to be within a few leagues ofUlm. The-, column which the Archduke Ferdinand carried off, has received some reinforcements, and is now assembled, to the amount of 17,000 men, on the frontiers of Bohemia, A letter from Cuxhaven, of the that General Von Des Decken, accompanied by his Aides^cle-Camp,' arrived here to-day, at noon, on board an English brig of war, and has announced that the Hanoverian legion and a corps of British- troops may be. expected to land every moment in the Elbe and the VVeser." The battle of Trafalgar is at length noticed in the Paris papers, but with evident tear, hesitation, and reluctance—they say that none but vague ac- counts have yet been received; but they speak of the English ships having been wrecked, and of the brilliant achievement ot the Pluton, which extri- cated and carried to Cadiz three Spanish ships, which had been dismasted, and fallen into our hands. The Moniteur has not yet made the slight- est mention of the battle. The Dutch State paper has published the Gazette account of the battle, L but without any comment. Sir Sidney Smith's squadron cleafed Dover bar- hour yesterday morning, and sailed in theevenins- for the french coast. The attack on Boulogne was expected to be made this morning. A number of gentlemen intended to go in cutters, within three or four miles of the scene of action, on purpose to witness the attack. Transports, with between 8 and 9000 tropps, are expected daily in the.Downs from Scotland. They are to be joined by others from Ireland, ajid will then'prpceed to the .continent. TUESDAY, Nov. 19. M. D'Oubrif, who Was the Russian Ambassador at Paris, has arrived in England, with the informal" madou of Count fhugwltz having set off for Bo- naparte's head quarters—he is also come to ar- range plans with our Government. Respecting the nature of the proposals which Count Haugwitz is authorised to make, it would be idle to speculate. Some of the German papers say, that they are the same as those proposed by M. Kovosiltzoff, and rejected; others, with a. greater shew of probability, assert, that the pur- port is to desire that a Congress may be assem- bled, in order to adjust the terms of a General Peace. But whatever may be the propositions, no very sanguine expectations can reasonably be en- tertained respecting the result. In the moan time Bonaparte is marching on- wards, probably with the intentiou of makiiiglhim- self master of Vienna. The Austrian and Russian troops are falling back towards the capital, receiv- f ing reinforcements daily. They have taken up a. position at Moelk, upon the Danube, about 50 miles from Vienna. In this position, which is re- markably strong, and regarded as the rampart of the capital,, the allied army was to await the at- tack of the French. One division of the second Russian army has already joined, and the re- mainder would, probably, arrive towards the mid- dle of this month. In the mean time, every pre- caution and preparation has been adopted at Vienna^-the archives and records have been re- J moved to Prague the. fortifications are strength- ehiug, and the inhabitants are determined to de- fend the city to the last extremity.' Bonaparte's communication wi h his frontier has been rendered hazardous and insecure by the ac- tivity ol General Wolfskehl, who pushes his troops to within three leagues of Ulm. The supplies ot provisions and ammunition for the army are there- fore forced to take a very circuitous route. A great scarcity already exists for Bavaria and Swabia [ are nearly drained.—The severity of the winter al- so adds to the-difficulties of the enemy's situation. The Duke ot Brunswick returned from Berlin to, his head-quarters at Hildesheim, on the 8th, and was expected immediately to take the field with his aritiy. The Russians had crossed the Elbe, and the Swedes were expected to follow. The expedition under the command of General Don appeared off Heligoland on the 10th, but the wind was not favourable for landing the troops. Bourienne, the French Minister at Hamburgh, publicly declared there on the 9th, that a corps of 50,000 men were assembling on the Lower Rhine, under the command of General Lefevre, for the pur- pose.ol'relieving Hamein and re-occupying Hanover. The King of Sweden, desirous of regaining the friendship of the King of Prussia, and in order that what passed on the occasion of the order of the Black Eagle-being returned by him, may be buried in oblivion, has sent the Count de Lovvenjelin to Berlin, with a letter to Frederic William, and ano- ther to Alexander I. It was said that his Swedish Majesty would go to Berlin; but this is untrue. On Saturday accounts were received by Govern- ment from the expedition under the orders of Sir D. Baird and Sir H. Popham. Having refreshed at Madeira, they left Ithat island on the 3d ult. in per- fect health. The Malabar sailed at the same time with convoy for the. West-Indies. A letter from Gibraltar, dated September 30r says Accounts from Spain state, that the camp before this place.is to be shortly broke up, and the chief part of the troops sent to Cadiz. The garri- son is healthy, nor has there been an appearance of the fever in Spain this year. Some soldiers de- serted lately from the loth regiment. One was de. tected. in the attempt, and will no doubt suffer the punishment due to a crime of such enormity." A letter, which has been received from Lisbon, contains some additional particulars relative to the late brilliant victory, and the events that took place after it. It states that Lord Robert Fitzgerald, our Minister at Lisbon, had received dispatches from Lord Collingwood on the 31st ult. His Lordship, after stating that he had been forced to destroy ail the prizes, adds, that he has on board'his fleet 16,000 French and Spanish prisoners. The account of the victory reached Lisbon just time enough to prevent the French from illuminating for their vic- torics iti Germany. Lord Nelson's body is not, as has been generally supposed, 'on board the* Euryaius—it remains on board his own ship, the Victory, which, with the Belleisle, is gone to Gibraltar. Of the eleven sail of the line which came out af- ter the battle of the 21st, under Gravina, only five have been able to get back to Cadiz. This morning American papers to the 22d ult. were received they contain but one article of any importance--the death of his Imperial Majesty, Dessalines, Emperor of Hayti, and King of St. Do- mingo.—lie is to be succeeded by his Imperial Highness, Prince Christophe. The Sick and Hurt Office is, it is said, to be con- solidated with the Transport Board and arrange- ments are now making for transacting all the busi- ness of both, at the Transport-Office, Westminster. The following melancholy circumstance occurred on board the Mars, during the late glorious engage- ment. The brave Captain Duff had two sons in the action, one aged about 12, and the'other about 15. Early in the contest, the first had both his legs carried away by a shot! soon after the second tell and at last, to complete the distressing-groups, the fatber himself was added to the list of slain, leav- ing an am table widow in a situation too dreadful for description. The youth who lost his legs is ) likely to recover, and will, no doubt, receive all the reparation which a liberal Government and a sym- pathizing coutury can bestow.
