" At the fame moment, the Emperor advanced to Guttnadt, with the corps of Merntal Ner and • tanner, his guard, and the cavalry of the referee.

The Grand Duke of Berg, after fonle very &alai manceuvresn drove the enemy fue eel:lively froth all their pofitinnr. 64 The light brigades of cavalry under G-nerals Biuyeres, and Durofnel, and the Divifion of the heavy cavalry under General IsTanfonty, tri umphed over all the efforts of the enemy. In thi evening, at eight o'clock, we entered Gutttladt by main force. One the prifoners, all the pofi. Lions iii advince of Guttfladt; and the redoubt of the infantry, were the faults of this day.

About a quar ter of a league beyond thefe camps, the enemy (hew ed himfelf in a pofition. He had between is and Mono cavalry ? , and feveral lines of infantry. The 1 Cuiraffiers of the Divifion d'Efpagne, the Divifion o f Laintir, Mabourg's Drapons, and the Brigade" of light cavalry, made feveral charges, and gained ground. At two o'clock, the corps under Martha Soult was formed. Two divifinns marched to the right, while the divifion of Lagrande marched to the left, to feize on the extremity of a wood, the occu pation of which was neceffary, in order to 'import the left of the cavalry, and made various efforts to maintain themfelves in the potations befo7e Heilf berg. More than 6o pieces of cannon fcattered death in fupprxting the enemy's columns, which our divi flout neverthelef repulfed, with the mon unexam pled intrepidity, and the characterinic impetuolity of the French. Several Ruffian divifi were rout• td, and at nine in the evening we found ourfelves under the enemy's entrenchments. " The Wilier: of the guard, commanded by Ge r.eral Savary, were. put in motion to fuflain the clivi lion of Verdict ; and Come of the corps of infantry of the referee, under Niarfh4l Lannes were engaged, it being already night-fall ; they rtacked the enemy with the vicar of cutting off his cornmunicaticn with Lanfberg, and fucceeded completely. " The ardour of the troops was fuch, that feveral companies of the infantry of the line infulted the en trenched works of the Ruffians. Some brave men met their deaths in the ditches of the redoubts, at the foot of the palifades. The Emperor paired the It th on the field of battle. He there arranged the corps of the army, and the divifions, preparatory to a decifive action, fucl i one as,ffinold put an end to the war. The whole of the Ruffian army was collefied. " The Ruffin magazines were at Heilfberg t tbe Ruffians oteupied a fine pofition, utbich nature bad Tendered ivory (ben, and Which .gief.inexesifed the lalpaiir of four months. sl.At our in the afternoon, the Emperor ordered Marfhal Davoull to - change his front, and puib for ward his,kft. This movement brought him upon the Lower Alle, and enlighten blocked up the road from tyke. 48 Every corits of the army had its poll affigned to it ; they' were all re•affembled, the firft corps excep ted, which continued !gem the Lower Paffarge. " Thus the Ruffians, whil were the firft to begin the battle, found themfelves (hut ttp in their int; ench• ed camp, and were compelled to give battle in the porta rn they had chnfen themfelves. It was for a long time believed they would make an attack on the t ith. At the moment When the French were making their difpofitions, the Ruffians (hewed them. (elves, ranged in columns, in the mitlfl of their en trenchments, fortified with numerous batteries. 66 But whether thole entrenchments did not appear • fufficiently formidable, after viewing the preparations which.they faw before them ; or whether the impe tuofity which the French army had (hewn on the loth, had an effect upon them, they began to pafs the Alie at ten o'clock at night, abandoning the whoie country' to the left, and leaving to the difpn• of the enecuteror, their wo. n led, their maga zines; and their intrenchments, the refult of long and painful labour. 66 On the iztli, at day break, all the corps of the army were in motion, and rook different diretlions. " The hnufes at Heilfberg and its neighbourhood 'are filled with wounded Ruffians.

The Ruffian imperial guard is the corps which has,fuffered moll : they write that it has , been annihilated. His Impttial Hightefs Prince Borghefe met a courier at Thorn, which Marfhal Maffena had fent to the Emperor with an account of a complete vic tory gained by him over the Ruffians, in which a confiderable number of the latter were killed and wounded, and 6oao prifoners taken. If the bulletin which is wet:led, has not yet arrived, its delay is to be attributed to the circumfiances of his Malay hav ing paired every night in the open field, and to the head quatters being continually moving.

The number of troops they have at prefent in that country is too viiak, efpecially in horfe, to venture upon any important enterprize. The Turks, and Arnauts afrembled •in Egypt have on their part undertaken nothing againft Alexandria, although their force' is fofficiently thong for that purpofe, and although it is their intereft to endea- vour to take that place before the Englith than have been reinforced.
