There had been several severe engagements, and as one 
that strikes us as being particularly brilliant and decisive 
against the enemy, we remark the battle of Dennevitz, 
which took place about the 7th Sept—this action was 
obstinately contested on both sides, the French force was 
commanded by Marshal Ney, under whose orders were 
the corps of the Dukes of Reggio and Padua, and Gen. 
Regnier, amounting in the whole to 70,000 men; which 
number was opposed by an inferior force of Russians, 
Prussians and Swnlos; nevertWess they remained masters 
or the field of combat, and occasioned the enemy a loss of 
IS,OOO men, 50 pieces of cannon, and 400 ammunition
