JAMES BEGGS, Adm'r. Late European News. CHARLESTON, March 10. Revived by /£*/£// Sachem, Capt. Hatch, in 43 days from Liverpool. Rotterdam, Dec. 17. The Hamburgh and other German letters received yesterday, contain only a Ihort ac count of the important battle which has ta ken place to the advantage of the French. From the intelligence written by Marlhal Berthier on the field of battle to Stadgard, and announced in the Moniteur of the 11 th, (that paper of the rath not being arrived) we gather only the following ; TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. “ Strasburch, December 9. “ The Emperor has defeated the Ruffians at Olmutz—half of their army is annihila ted, and the remainder is in full flight.” This day, however, we have received the following account, publifhedin the Vi enna Court Gazette of the 6th inst ; and al so from a refpeftable quarter, the fubjeined order of the day, dated the third and iflfued by the Emperor Napoleon, from his head quarters at Anfterlitz. We have, besides, received certain information that the Em perer of the French and the Emperor of Au stria had an interview near the field of bar. tie, and that an armistice was concluded be tween the two sovereigns. VICTORY OF AUSTERLITZ. Obtained by the French Army on the zd of December 1805. From the 27th of November to the ift of December, every effort was made to bring the Ruffians to a general engagement, and the measures taken to promote that objeft have had the most favorable refulr, Indifciibable was the joy with which the French army, from the heights on which Napoleon, in the open field, was polled, beheld the ad vanced pods of the Ruffian ar my approaching, and a movement made from their flank, with a view of surround ing the French right wing. The Radians marched in column, in one line, to the length of four French miles beyond the French ar ray, which, meanwhile, remained immove a ble in its position, in order that-the ene my, which hafteaed, with tapid ft tides to meet definition, might advance so near as to render it impossible, for them toefcape. The French Emperor made his dispositions for battle in the following order. He gave to Marlhal Lannes thetommand of the left wing ; to Marlhal Soult the com mand of the right; and to Marlhal Berna dottc the command of the centre. Prince Murat received the command of the caval ry, with which he was polled on a particu lar point. The left of Marlhal Lannes ap proach S. Anton, which had fortified and mounted with eighteen pieces of can non. r General Suchet's division formed the left of Marlhal Lannes; the divifios of general Caffarelli formed his right ; and was sup ported at the fame time by Prince Murat’s cavalry. The van of his cavalry confiftcd of Gen eral Kellcrraan's hulfars and chaffeurs, and of Walther and Beaumont’s division of dra goons. The division formed of Generals Nsnfouti and Hautpoult's cuiraffiers, with 24 fieid pieces, was polled as a reserve. Marlhal Bernadette, that is to fay the centre, bad on the left the division of Gene ral Rivaud, which also communicated with Prince Murat’s right wing, and en the right division of General Drouet, Marfiial Soult, who commanded the right wing of the army, had on his left the divi sion of General Van Damme, in his centre the division of General St. Hilaire, and on his right the division of General Legrand. Marlhal D'Avouft was dctatched to the right of General Legrand, to observe the road between the lakes and the villages of Sokolnitz and Felfnitz. He had with him General Bourchicr’s division. The division ot General Godin was directed to march at day-break from Nlcollburgh, to Hop the corps of the enemy, which was endeavoring to turn the right wing. The emperor Napoleon, with his whole General Staff, ten battalions of the imperi al Guard, and ten battalions of General Oudinot’s Grenadiers, formed the reserve of the army. T’hefc troops were disposed in columns, in a double line, and drawn np in battalions, but placed at such a dillance from each ether, that fufficient space was left for deploying. In thefc intervals forty pieces GEORGIA, . of cannon were placed, which were feived by the artillery of the guard. This corps was intended to advance with the grcateft expedition to any quarter in which its pre sence might be neceflary. The morning dawn began at length to ap pear, but seemed to approach too (lowly for the wi(hes of both armies. Surrounded by all his Marlhals, the emperor Napoleon waited until the horizon was perfectly clear, before hs communicated his final indruftions. When the fun (hot forth his firft ray, the last order was given, and all his MarlbaU rode off in full gallop to their refpc6tivc corps. The joyful cry of long live the Em/ieror, which echoed along the whole line, was the fi|nal for general engagement. At this mo mem the cannonade became heavy on the ex tremity of the right wing, which the ad vanced guard of the Ruffians had already reached. There, however, they fell in quite unexpeftly with Marshal D’Avouft, woo made them hault, and the battle imme diately began. At the fame time Marshal Soult put him felfin motion, and advanced with the divi sions of General Vandamme and St. Hilaire, towards the heights of the village of Prat zen. In confluence of these operations the right wing of the Ruffian army foQnd itfclfcom pletely turned j all its plans were deranged. —Surprised by a movement on the flank, the enemy endeavoured to retreat.—While they were attacked. From that moment the enemy’s right wing was considered half defeated. The cavalry under Prince Murat now be gan to move. The left wing, under the r command of General Lannes, inarched for ward also ; the troops drawn up in the form of regiments in the fame manner as if they had been exercising by divifiotre. Tkecen tr? under Marlhal Bernadotte like wife ad vanced, and instantly a terrible cannonade resounded along the whole line. Two hundred pieces of cannon, and near ly 200,000 men all engaged at one tine, produced tremendous and awful noise. This was a truly great contcft. The battle had laded only two hours, when the left wing of the Ruffians was cut off, and their right driven back to Aufter litz. The head-quarters of the two Emperors were at Auftcrlitz, and they were obliged to give ordef to the Ruffian Imperial guard to advance to rc-eftablifh, if poffiblc, the junftion on the left wing and the centre. Marshal Bcffieres moved forward with his Invincibles, and immediately the Frenchlm pcrial guards were engaged. The Ruffian guard was driven back in disorder. Its commanders, artillery, and ftaodards, were all in the power of the vic tors, Even the Grand Prince Constantine, whose regiment was entirely cut to pieces, has only to thank the flectnefs of his horse for hb cfcapc. The action was obftlnately maintained by the remaining part of the Ruffian army. The centre of the French army vvith-ftood the well-directed attacks of the cavalry. The French left wing also continued its at tack, in all of which it was victorious. At one o’clock P. M. the viftory, which never was for a moment doubtful, was dccifively on the fide of the French. The cannonade was (till constantly main tained on the Breach right wing. The Ruffians corps which had been cut off, was surrounded, compelled to abandon all its positions, forced into a hollow, and driven up agamft a lake. Hera a most dreadful fpcftacle prerented itfelf. Twenty thousand men spread thcmfelves over the icy furface of the lake, only to be drowned. At the fame lime two Ruffians columns, of 4000 men each, laid down their arms and the whole of the artillery, at lead 120 pieces, fell into our hands. On this day we had the whole of the Ruffian army to encounter. The half of it is destroyed, and the remainder has take flight in the greatest confufion. The greater part threw away their arras. Os the whole French army, the reserve was the only part which was not engaged, and the reserve alone is equal tp an army. The French army, though strong, was noefo numerous as rhe enemy’s, whicli con fided of 105,000 men, viz. 80,000 Ruffian, anc 25,000 Austrians. the rdult of this viftory placed in the hatlds of the French army 40 Ruffian dan. 1 . £Vol. XX. No. 1016 dards, including two colours of the Erapcrot Alexander’s life guard, from i* to 15 Ruf fian Generals made prisoners, and among whom are the Princes Gallitzin and Repnin; and, finally, an imraenfe number of Ruffian prisoners. The French General Staff does not yet know the number, but returns of nearly 20,00® are already made. The Ruffians have besides left i c,OOO -dead on the field. Though exaft accounts are not yet re ceived of the loss of the French it appears to be only about 800 killed, and from 15,00 to 16,00 wounded. This cannot aftoniffi tafticians; for every one knows that great numbers arc seldom loft but by those who take Bight. Besides, not one corps of the French army was penetrated, except a An gle battalion of the 4th regiment, which had to sustain the whole of the firft attack of the Ruffian Imperial guard. The French general ofdivifion St. Hilairo, Kdlerman, and Walter ; the generals of brigade Valberf, Thiebaut, Sebaftiani, and Corapans, and finally general Rapp, his imperial majesty's adjutant, are among the wounded. The last general headed the grenadiers of the French imperial guard in the attack, and took prisoner Prince Re phin, who commanded the cavalry of the Ruffian imperial guard* St. Petersburg, December 22. Yeftcrday, at five in the morning, our beloved sovereign returned in good health, to the great joy of this capital, being met by the joyful acclamations of the inhabitants of all ranks. Wc wore the day before yesterday, apprized by the publication of the following article in the Court Gazette : Hollitsch, December $. " The exhausted powers of the Court of Vienna, the misfortunes it has sustained, together with a want of provisions, hare compelled the Roman emperor, notwithstan ding the strong and vigorous fuppon he has experienced from the Ruffian troops, to con dude a convention with France, to which also a peace mull fobo succeed. His impe rial majesty having come to his assistance as an ally, had no other objeft in view than his defence, and the averting of those dan gers which threaten his empire; and since his majesty the emperor, under the present circumstances, has deemed the presence of the Ruffian troops no longer neccflary in Austria, his majesty has been pleased to order them to leave Austria, and to return to Russia. The relation of the heftile opera tions, to the period of their ccfiation, will be publilhed in a Ihort time. France. THIRTIETH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. Is dated Aufterlitz, December 5. From this Bulletin it appears, that Bonaparte, by way of stratagem, had induced the Ruffians to believe that he was afraid to give them battle, and so confident was the Auftro- Ruffian army of success, that they had for med a plan not only to conquer, hut t® pre vent the escape of the 1< rench army... this mistake was their ruin and terminated in their entire overthrow.
