My Loud—l arrived here this morning, and have now 
the honour of transmitting to your Lordship the Bulletin of 
the operations of the day befifre yesterday , Which have 
been attended with the most important results, <qnd which 
Lave conferred immortal honour on the Prussian army, 
against whom the whole force of the enemy was directed, 
and who sustained the unequal contest with unexampled 
bravery and firmness, 
The accounts from the side of Mecklenburgh confirm 
thb retreat of Marshal Dav oust from Schwerin, and his 
pis age across the Elbe,.in the direction of Magdeburgn. 
As it is possible that this movement was combined with 
the attack of Marshal Ney. and was intended to act a* a 
diversion against Berlui oa the other side, Count de Vvalt Vvaltmorlen 
morlen Vvaltmorlen has been directed to approach Magdeburg on this 
side, the Elbe, for the purpose of patching the Movements 
from that fortress. The corps, cf General liirschfeld Jias 
ffie same de.tifmdion tp-dr. .t '.Vittenbyig, and the i. .lin 
body of the Aili J Ar ,sv will take-such a position as will 
counteract any optical!•■>?? mi the side of Torgau. It is 
understood that Bonaparte has taken the command of the 
army aiding again: I Glm wa! Blucher, the latter of whom 
has moved from Laub.au to Gorlitz; but it may be equal equally 
ly equally (he intension of the former to act in conjunction with 
the corps at Torgau ag.tins i this army, and it is necessary 
to be prepared for trieii an event. 
It is nnd rsiood (h it the heml-quartcrs will be continu continued 
ed continued in this place i. . ;ow ; but the troops harp been 
moved Em •* a- !, awl six thousand Swedish loops have

The i rincr [Go al t l aoJ’crred. his head-quarters to Ru Rubenstein 
benstein Rubenstein mi the 4th of lais month. 
At (ho moment w hen l.is Royal Highness had commer.c commer.c-<A’amovement, 
<A’amovement, commer.c-<A’amovement, in order to- advance with the Russian and 
ctiisli <».i:iy. tc. Rosian, with-rm.intention of there cross crossing 
ing crossing the Elbe, and of Liking the direction of Leipzig, his 
. Royal Highness Jearut that the r.ht my, after having made 
a demonstration of pj-si:.g over t > the left side of the river, 
had suddenly rein rul'd into ids eatrcnclnnvuts of I'enchel 
and Tragun. in advance of Witirnbtirg. This sudden 
return afforded a presumpticn, either that he intended to 
attack the combimd army in their passage across thb Elbe, 
or to make a rapid ir.aid. open Berlin. 
The Prince Royal »l. .icned the pace of Lis troops, and 
announced that it should take place the following day : two 
battalions, a Swedish and a Prussian^ Were dispatched to 
Ro'-lau, under (he ord rs of Lieutemtnf-Colouei H<;!?t. 
Aide-de-Camp of his Boy il Highness, in order to collect 
■all materials necessary iprlhe coiftfruction of abridge. 
The reporls'of the yut-potts announced every moment, 
that (In eltemy’s a’.-niy was inarching upon Zahne. This 
post; occupied by the corps of General Dobschutz, be belonging 
longing belonging to the corps d’armecof Genera! Count iwiertf.zein, 
was at-acked by a very superior force, on the 4th <>f Sep September, 
tember, September, in the aftern'oo‘n,*autf maintained its ground with 
great bravery. * . 
The enemy having been repulsed in several attacks, re. 
entered his en?rencbmcnts.bcforc.\Vit(enburg* 
Next day, the s(h of September, most murderous attacks 
were renewed against Zahne, and in snite of the courage 
displayed by Genera! Dybsrhutz', wi(f» the troops under 
fds orders, tha( position was carried. The same was the 
ease, after an olnfhiate resistance, with respect to the post 
6f Sepia, orcnpivJ byjiie. corps of Tauentzein. 
The reports ot the country people, ‘of the otif-postS, 
add of secret a p nfs, announced positively that the enemy 
was taking the route of Torgau. Those accounts came 
in every hour, o iy one single person brought word'that 
thiMmf'my intended to proceed to Juterboch. 
Tiie Prince Royal set out on the Oth of September at 
three o’clock iii th -morning,'ffom Rubenstein, and col. 
lected the !jwedisli,dnd Russian armies upon the heights 
Lobessen. JHs Royal Highness was waiting the reports 
of General Tauentzein, whom he thought farther advanc advanced, 
ed, advanced, when he received an account from General Bulow" 
announcing that the whide army of the enemy was in full 
march upon Juterhoch. The Prince Royal ’ordered him 
to attack immediately the flank and rear of the enemy 
before, General Fanentzein, who defended the approaches 
of the town, should be overwhelmed by numbers. The 
Swedish army, who had been marching upwards of two 
German miles, pro'cii ded to juterboch, which was yet dis. 
tant three German wiles, aed was followed by, the Russian 
army, with the exception of the advanced guard under the 
orders of Count Worrttfzvw, and of (hd corps of General 
Cxernidi-tf, which continued before-Wit ten burg. The 
cannonade and musqnetry began immediately between the 
Prussian t roops and the army of the enemy. The Russian 
and Swedish edrps, after their forced marches, were ob obliged 
liged obliged to halt a moment, in order to form in the order of 
battle. The Piussian army, at most forty thousand men 

strong, sustained, in the mean while, with a courage truly . 
heroic, the repeated eiforts of seventy thousand of the 
enemy, supported by two hundred pieces of camion. The 
struggle was unequal and inurdyeo is. 'i h.- Prussian troops, 
however, were not disconcerted even for one moment, and 
if some battalions were yield for an iiutant the 
ground which they had gainevya.. was only for tlic pur purposgof 
posgof purposgof re-oCQipyingit themoment after. Wliilst this was 
passing seventy battalions of Russians and wedes, ten 
thom aud hopse'bf both nations, and an hundred and fifty 
pieces of artillery advanced in columns of attack, leaving 
intermediate spaces for deploying. Four thousand Rus Russian 
sian Russian and Swedish cavalry bad advanced in full speed to 
support some points whither the enemy* principally direct directed 
ed directed his attacks. Their appearance began to check hirti, 
and the appearance of the columns did the rest. The fate 
of the battle was instantly decided. —The enemy’s army 
beat a retreat, the cavalry charged them with a boldness 
resembling fury, and carried - disorder into their columns, 
» hich retreated with grSat precipitation upon ttfb route yf 
Dahme. 
The enemy’s force was composed of four corps d’armee 
—thirc of Marshal Duke of Reggio, of Generals Bertrand 
aniLßegnier, and of that of the Duke of Padua, and of 
from three to four thousand Polish troops, foot and horse ; 
the whole under the command of the Marshal Prince of 
Moskwa. The result of this battle, which was fought 
near.the village of Dounewitz, by the name of which it 
will be called, was already, yesterday morning, five 
thousand prisoners, thrfee standards, from five and twenty 
-to thirty pieces of cannon, and upwards of two hundred 
ammunition waggons.—The field of battle, and the road 
over which the enemy passed, are strewed with dead and 
woun-.kd, and with a quan'ity of arms; 6COO of the for former 
mer former have already been collected. Vigorously pursued, 
the enemy, who appeared wifljng to proceed to Tpigan, 
w ill not reach the Elbe before he has suffered losses yet 
considerable. So early ••y yesterday evening, Gen. 
obeser, who had been ordered to proceed with jive thou thousand 
sand thousand men from Luckau upon Dahme, attacked in tl.af 
(own, where the Prince de la Muskwa. and the Dakes ol 
Reggio and of Padua hud taken up their quarters, part of 
ti:e enemy’s army that inten'did Itfg'o to Dreidci, and made 
two thousand five hundred prisoners. Major Helwig, With 
five hundred horse, advanced upon Sweinjfz and Heit;., 
berg, and attacked a column of.thc enemv in (he nig'n, 
taking 600 pri'om rs and eight pieces, of c.HifSim. .Gru. 
Orouck, at (he head of his cavalrv, bis made upward; of 
on.e thousand | risoners, and taks-n ‘weial pierts of can cannon.

lost, up to tins moment, in kilied, wounded ::’d prisoner,, 
from sixteen to eighteen thousand n< i, more than sis y 
pieces of cannon, add fottr hundred ammiinitimi wa.p-ons. 
The loss of tlje enemy in killed and wounded must have 
been immense ; half of the escort of the l i n e of de la 
Moskwa was killed; Marshal Duke de R <gio charged 
himself the infantry of the Count de Taeeatz in. The 
loss of the Prussian troops is great, a>» l amounts to be between 
tween between four aud five thousand men, in killed and wo nul.d. 
However, the results of theday ought to contribute to the 
consolation of every true patriot, w ho will find the triumph 
of the cause of his Country insured by the death of (h-s.- 
brave iii. u. The Swedish and Russian troors leave lost 
little. 
A solemn Te Dcum has (his tD ; been ck; ant 'd in even 
corps, of the army, for the adv an luges which hoe bemi

hostilities.

My Lotto, —1!: ■ Emperor Alexander arrived at Pra Prague 
gue Prague on the Ihth ultimo. The greater part of the Russian 
army in Silesia, and a corps of Prus ims moved into Bo Bohemia 
hemia Bohemia on (he llth and 12th ultimo, and formed a juncti junction 
on junction with the Austrian army on the 17tfi and following days. 
On the iStfr, the Austrian army, Ctcept the corps al. 
ready on the.frontier, passed in review before the Empe Emperors 
rors Emperors ami the King of Prussia, near Jungfern Tignitz. 
On the 22(1 the wht>Je of the allied army passed the fron frontier 
tier frontier into Saxony, in four columns, by Peterswalde, Al Altenberg, 
tenberg, Altenberg, Marimiberg, and to the left of the last-named 
place, 
Count AV iltgcnslein, on the right, having met Gouvion 
St. Cyr, and disposted him twice on the frontier, attacked 
him with the bayonet iu the lines of Perna, and seized that 
post the same evening. 
The 23d the several columns moved towards the right 
to concentrate.. The. Imperial bead-quarters being the 
21st at Coinotau, the 22d,at Zablitzj and the 23d at Mit 
Seida. The 24th they were moved to Reichstadt, near 
Dippoldswaldc. ’ 
The 25th, at three in the afternoon,’tlfb heads of all the 
columns were behind the heights which surround Dresden 
on the left bank of the ElhC. The out-posts wore driven 
in, and>the defences reconnoitred. 
The city was evidently out of reach of being carried by 
a coup-de-main without much loss, and as there was no 
object to commit so great a sacrifice, it was determined not 
to attempt it, and the army encamped. 
On the 26th, hie enemy, under cover of their batteries 
endeavoured to regain' (heir out-posit, which occasioned a 

cannonade and firing which kitted all the day; towards 
evening the Austrians stormed a redoubt and spiked the 
ordnance, and some attacks were made w ith a view to 
provoke the enemy, and it opportunity favoured, to fol follow 
low follow him into the town. 
On die 27 th, the weather, which bad for several days 
been extremely wet and cold, bveame uncommonly thick 
and bad, and it rained w ithout intermission for more than 
24 hours, with many heavy showers. The enemy shewed 
himself In mudl greater force, several large masses of in infantry 
fantry infantry appeared upon his right, supported by artillery, 
and by attacks from the centre, which was protected by 
the works. 
This menace ow the Austrian left beyond PLtien, to. 
wards the vale of Thaiaud, was not formidable, and was 
opposed by a sufficient number of Austrian troops; but 
in the middle of the day reports arrived that Pe;na was re reoccupied 
occupied reoccupied in force, and that Gen. Blucher, who had been 
engaged five times in six days, two of which were general 
actions, one in presence of Bonaparte on the Bobeh, and 
one in which he had taken Marshal Macdonald’s baggage, 
had -fallen back to Jauer. At thesalnc time large colutrins 
moved out of the town, and formed masses to attack the 
right, as if to turn it, and to cover a moveiu. iit to thekit 
behind the Elbe. This had the appc.i.ranc.r of tfrir eimny' 
declining the comhat on the Leipzig or Eiftrt roads, and 
moving to his left to gain the Bbliemlin live, and it was 
resolved to make a flank march imni li it «y, in live co. 
lumns, by the right, to reach (he important passes iu that 
direclion before him, and to ciioo-e a field of battle iu 
Bohemia, instead yf one towards the old ground of Lutten, 
to which it was not certain that he would advance. 
This day produced several severe partial actions, in 
which the enemy had many men kiHid'and made prisoners 
in charges of cavalry, and it was expensive to both sides 
by the continued cauno i de and heavy hrt* of musketry. 
I'he ground, which is deep clay in many places, bcctyne 
so v.. t that neither ir.fs.iiir, nor cava'.y could move with without 
out without difficulty, and ordnance and .ill carriages sunk to the 
axic-frees. 
Th*' Emperor was passing along the front cf the line 
towards the ri-tht where an attack was ordered, aud had 
stoppe'.l for a moment to direct the. movement of some Rus Rusfim

Head-quarters were that night at Reichstadt, near Dipw 
po d wa'ile. The 28th hend-quarters were at Altcuberg, 
and on the 29th at Ducbs. 
On the 2Lt.i the enemy having moral in fore, und r 
(• n. van Damme, by Peterswalde to llollendurf and 
Cum, aUempt.d to attack the baggage and ordnance 
moving to Tbplitz, by roads which unite near tii it | lace. 
Ihn Russian foot guards, who had on the preceding Lay * 
c.t a |assage for one humited pie.es of tirld ordnance, 
not one ol which was lost, stopped this attack, and, sup supported 
ported supported by some part oi (he Russian Imperial cavalry 
guard and cuirassiers, kept the enemy in check the whole 
of t.ie day, while (hecoluinns of baggageafld artillery pas passed 
sed passed in their rear. In the evening they were reinforced by 
some battalions of Russian gn nadiers, and a considerable 
force was assemßkd at Topiitz. Orders were sent to 
Gm. Kleist, whose column of Prussian troops was meant 
to move in tlie night by Zinwaldc upon Hollcndorf, so as 
to be ready t r attack Gen. van Damme in the rear, when 
the other trekips should attack in front. 
On the 30rh, the Austrian divisions Cdlorcdo and 
Bianchi, were adikd to the troops above named, and the 
command was given to Gen. Ba,clay de Tolly: the Em Emperor 
peror Emperor and the K ng were on the height near the field, and 
Marshal Prince Schwartzenberg was also a spectator. 
I he enemy was posted near Culm, a scat of the Thun /a /a-inily,

with great spirit, and the enemy had already-lost

siaus fhcPrtrtsiaus and attempted to cut a passage with great impetuo impetuosity, 
sity, impetuosity, bu t the attacks of the Allies were carried on wjthso 
much vigour, that the enemy was completely beat on all 
points, and driven into the w oods. Gen. van Damme and 
three other Generals, one of whom is Gen. Ackso, thejf 
best engineer, were taken in the evening; another was 
found killed either on that or the preceding day; some 
colours were taken, with from forty to fifty pieces of can cannon, 
non, cannon, and some thousand prisoners. Two other Generals' 
and sonic thousand troops, who had got into the oHMiri oHMiritains,
