Baltimore, Feb. 4.
Capt. Pierce, of the ship Harriot, arrived last evening from Batavia, politely furnished us, at the late hour, through the hands of an obliging commercial friend, with the London Sun of the 3d Dec. put in his possession by the captain of the British Barbadoes packet, Windsor Castle, which he spoke on his passage—containing the following highly important statement of the Signing of a separate Treaty between the emperors of France and Austria under the walls of Vienna.
The lateness of the hour at which we received the paper, has obliged us to confine our extracts to the annexed articles until our next publication.
London, Dec. 3.
We on Saturday laid before our readers the distressing intelligence received from Holland, of the Signature of a Treaty of Peace between the emperors of Germany and the French.
The following is the letter from the Dutch admiral Kikkert:
Brutus, Nov. 25, 1805.
"Rear admiral Kikkert has the honor to inform the commanders of any of his Britannic majesty's ships which are on the coast of Holland, that the important intelligence of peace having been signed between his majesty the emperor of the French and the emperor of Germany, under the walls of Vienna, has been received by an extraordinary courier; and that the conditions were so settled, that until the ratification of the Treaty, Venice and the whole of the Tyrol should continue in the hands of the French.
The archduke Charles is dead with chagrin and fatigue. A more detailed account is every moment expected of the conditions of the Treaty, among which, it is said, there is an article, stating that the government of Austria is to pay to the emperor of the French 40 millions of livres.
KIKKERT."
