I will stem be followed no/loon the left bade of the Elbe, and a national war will shortly be seen extend ing from the Elbe to the Rhine, similar to that with which the liberation of Spin commenced. The Chief s of the districts only await the signal for col !. lecting their tortes, and'this moment is slot now far distant. Gene,ral Blucher has pushed fotward a • strong det ichment on Konigsbruck. Count Von Tanenzien has taken possession of Lubenwerda and', Elbterwerda, and the line behind the Sister. The enemy has broken up his camp at Stolzeishagen, near ' • - Elsterwerda in the night between the 19th and 20th i it is estimated at 4000 men. Accordin to the Wet occiiunts, the King of Na ales is still at 4rosseohayn. , 0 The Emperor Napoleini in person on the 17th attacked the post of Nollendorf, in the narrow passes of Bohemia, but was repulsed by the Austrian corps • of Generals Coloiedo and Meerfeld, with the loss of seven cannon, one standard, four thousand prisoners, and the General of Brigade Kreutzer, who was taken. The united army of the North of Germany has taken snore than 28,000 prisoners since the truce ended.— From the 17th of August till the 18th of SePtembers • there have passed through Berlin ds prigoneri of war 18,257 soldiers and 299 officers, and upwardsof WOO men were on the road to that city I from 2 to 8000 have remained behind sick in the hospitals at Inter. boch. Treuenbritzen, Belsig, and Brandenburg, and the corps d'armeenf Count Walmoden s which sends its prisoners to Stralsund, has snore than 4,000 of them. If we add to this number the of the killed, wounded, and missing, we may reckon the total loss of the army opposed to that of the North of, Germany at not less than 45,000 men since the 17th of August. The prisoners taken by the army under General Blu cher, and the grand army of Bohemia, amount to 40,0f - 0. We may, therefore. without exaggeration, estimate the enemy's Lou since the recommence ment of hostilities at more than 100,000 men, and , 2.50 pieces of cannon .. If as every thing gives ' us reason so hope, Bavaria and Wirtemburg should join the CAW!' of German liberty, the Emperor Napo loon will not have more t h em 150,000 men to oppose to the Allies ts The King of Denmark has sent the Prussian Minister back, and stated as the cause of it, that as Prussia is engaged in a war with the Emperor Napo leon, the preens* of that Minister could no longer be , allowed at Copenhagen. This Court endeavours to justify itself to the Allies, on account of the decla ration of war against Sweden, and portends to have taken that step merely to avoid the Wiliam demands of Baron Alquier, who demanded 10,000 *sore men to be sent to Holstein. In this, hosivivert there appears a vast difference between the intent and the deed. a The enemy has not any more strong positions on the left bank of the Elbe from Winesburg to Schoe beck. His advanced pests are still between the last mentioned place and Magdeburg. General Cserilits cbeff is at Bernburg, Major Von Rosenstern at Lit& tosenbtirg, and - Major Czei atanerbeg. Detadsed parties have penetrated Si far asHalle, where they have put themselves in connection with the, carps under General Thielman, and from thence as far as Deane* and Billerteld, and on the left wing as far as Egiln and Wantaleben. They have been able to make only a small number of prisoners, as they sorer swat free dui nhinly in any noliddne able force. a Major Von Lowenstein has taken a transport of 1800 measures of oats, And other prociakins, which were intended for Magdeburg. "The van-guard of the Russian army commanded by Count Von Woronzoff is at Acken (on the left .bank of the Elbe). The Swedish van-guard under the command of Gen. Schulzentium is at Dessau. 44 The Crown Prince has entrusted the siege of Wittenberg to General Bulow." , I. N THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1813.

A mass of foreign intelligence crowds our columns of today. The Gottenburgh Mails of yesterday ; and French Papers to the 11th, received late last night, ' ire the sources from which we have collected our extracts. We shall begin with the intelligence via Gottenburgh, .not because it is more important than the contents of the French Papers, but because it best agrees with historical accuracy to keep pace as well as we can with the details of the enemy. Of the ac tion of the 16th, noticed in Sir C. STSWART'S dis patches, we know little or nothing through the Me dium of the French Papers. It was merely said, that the Einperor had left his entrenched camp at Pirna on the 15th, and advanced against the enemy, who had debouched upon Cohn sad Nolleadorf. He had, however, repulsed than with immense loss, and returned to Peterswalde, where he slept on the 17tha He was said to have is shut up the enemy in the pLains of Toplita" on that occasion. By Sir C. Srarntrr's Dispatches. it appears that Otis was another britiaint movement in the rear of the enemy's position at Dresden, hastened probably by the intelligence received of the discomfiture 'of fqzr at Etennevita, and that it was considered of suf. ilcient importance to call .130autzsitra personally to the. spot. But by the inteßigenca from Berlin it appears that this was not the only ha:rasing movement made by the Allies, for the Austrian General SCHLUTBIRO • debonched upon Freyberg at the same instant, forced the works, and carried all before him. It is true that_ lie also retreated, but this was merely in concert with the general plan of operations. When we are in formed of the activity of the Austrians under Gene rals SCHLUTBERG A COLLORRDO, and Panune---and re collect that the Austrian army bore the brunt of the 'action before Dresden—that in eight days afterwards one-half was again: in position—we are also led by the way to call to mind the malignant pertinacity ' . ~, \ • with which some persons Wig' ed that Aunts 4rasl seetedy negociating for a separate which we were the first to consign to the eembof the Capulets. . The Caws, Parscit's - Bulletins are full of interest ing Matter selative to the campaign on the Elbe.— The operations tithe CROWN Paincesarmy are now bel directed to the passing of that river, over which has not yet thrown his main body—merely because the saes depots: are not in readiness, and not froufany apprehensions of an enemy's force. French Papers to the llth instant have arrived . They contain intelligence from D res d en o f t h e 54 . 1 at which time BONAPARTZ was in good health, but no new event had occurred—the army is described as being superb, and the strictest discipline is maintained. The PROW of MOMCWA is described as iseciwort& Is gaining advantages over the enemy e , there is ' -something of a hull in this statement—for we had just. 'beta informed that " no new events had occurred.". The call for a new levy, of which the EMPEROR of Alarm's daughter is made the organ, informs us of the nature of the events which have occurred. a-Ttee hawked au 1 eighty !hewed Nue are to be added to the snake of France, for the vaguely expressed laapaaa of not permitting Nssot-son " to be agitated, by sitting on a degraded throne," or " wearing a Crown without glary." But her Kumar is previ ously made to hint obscurely at a projected invasion of France by the Allies, as one of the exciting causes' for this immense armament. This is another gross and palpable falsehriod of the wretches who surround the Corsican throne. The Allies have been particu larly cautious in their proclamations and other public documents to avoid any construction of this descrip tion being put upon their conduct. The French armies are to be driven back within the Rhine—and there is even a promise implied, that in the event of good behaviour on the part of their General, he will. be 'ermined to enjoy, unmolested, that " fine Coun. try" which its inhabitants have called upon him to govern. This fresh call upon the popqlation of the French **spire, supposes that the people of France can have no recollection of past events and declarations. The avowed object of the Allies is to effect that to which Nemirow himself stood pledged by his Note to the . Diet of Ratisbon, on assuming the title of Protector of the Rhenish Confederation, in which Note he declares 4 4 that he would sever extend the limits of France beyond the Matte," and adds, 4 4 the Emperor is faithful to his promises." Look at the subsequent conduct of this man, who cannot bear - the thought of. occupying a degraded throne, or wearing a crown without glory— of this Emperor who is ever faithful to his promises! limits did he -afterwards prescribe to his Ein 11pVirehf The Saltic 1 the centre of Russia 1 ! We look not to paper declarations we -look to facts—and from these it is obvious, that the ambition of this Scourge of Humanity had no limits short of universal dominion. His call may •have some charms with mere Frenchmen; but how will the people of Flan ders, of Savoy, Gencia, Tuscany, Rome, the Valais, Holland, and the Hanse Towns, relish a Wandate to send their few remaining youths to act as hands of fratricides. Frenchmen may continue to butcher their children at the nod of this monster ; but is it possible that Germans, Italians, Swiss, Batavians, can willingly minister to a spirit of ambition which has no limits.—of oppression n hich is,.temorseless— and a thirst for human blood which is insatiable ? No, no. Human nature is still the same. The greater the miseries it is made to endure from uncontronlable contingencies, the more dreadful the vengeance it inflicts on the agents and instruments of oppression, when a change of circumstances invites the assertion of independence. The fortunes of NAPOLEON have suffered a reverse which ihreatens his absolute ruin. Since last year its main supports--the alliance of Austria and Prussia—the vassalage of Warsaw—the subjugation of Swedish Pomerania and Mecklenburgh have not only failed to uphold it, but are converted into engines for its destruction. Spain and Portugal are free, and in a threatening attitude. TheHanseatic Departments, the mock-kingdom of Westphalia, and great part of Saxony, are the seat of an insurrection daily extending its circle, and the latest intelligence from the North gives us hopes, that Bavaria and Wiz.- temberg will, ere long, desert the standard of the Qppressor.—Let it be recollected too, that the spread ing defection in its numerical effect acts double.. , Every single man added to the ranks of the Allies, from these oppressed countries, becomes two against the Tyrant ; for tfiey would otherwise be embodied in his army. Will he bring forth his conscription ? He may, but the morale which in former times insured victory to his arms is now annihilated. Like the deserting corps it has gone over to the Allies; nor will this change be without corresponding fruit. Look at the Penin sula! Were the Germans ever so mind-subdued as the Spaniards ? What may we not expect from them when roused from involuntary passiveness ? But let not the Allies despise this effort of the insatiable vil lain who seeks their utter annihilation—let them un ceasingly bring forward fresh levies ; nor grudge any sacrifices called for by the common necessity.

" We have just received the following Official In telligence from the Head-quarters of the Grand United Army, concerning the victorylt Nollendorf: BULLETIN. " Head-quarters at Tapliti, September 19. " The Emperor Napoleon having united on the 16th instant a greit part of the remains' of the armies which had been opposed to General Blucher and the Crown Prince of Sweden, with the Ist, 2d, and 14th corps de armee, had advanced at .the head of his guards, towards Nollendorf. The statements of the prisoners, and more especially the preparations made by the enemy, left no doubt remaining, that he in tended making a serious operation against Bohemia, tinder the direction of the Emperor in person. , 4 For this purpose, on the 16th, at noon, he caused a column to file off from Nollendorf. • 41 . His Serene Highness the commanding Prince of Schwartzenburg had given orders, that all the ad vanced posts should fall back into the position at Culm, and there await the enemy. The villages of Arbesau, Dalisch, Prenitz,anclJohnsdorf, were relin, quished to him. A lively cannonade commenced. The corps of the General of Artillery, Count Collo redo, and Ideerfeld, defiled by the way of German Neudorf and Reinitz, on the left flank of the enemy,. whilst Count Von Wittgenstein caused the Prussians, under General Von Ziethen, to advance in masses of infantry on the enemy's front. The enemy chewed continually more masses of soldiers ; and every thing for him depended on his gaiaing ground to deboucb. 4 4 The cavalry of the guards attacked our batteries with great resolution, whilst the French masses of infantry kept up a murderous fire on all sides. 6 6 At this important moment a squadron of Hesse Homberg hussars, supported by the brave Prussian cavalry, cut into the enemy's ranks, with the valour peculiar to themselves. The Austrian infantry fol lowed them with the utmost coolness. “ The enemy was 'every st here forced back and driven in the greatest disorder into the heights of Nollendorf. The Yrench General, Kreutzer, seven pieces of artillery, and a standard, fell into our hands. The number of prisoners taken, amount to more than, 2000. men. A thick fog and the darkness of thec night preserved the enemy's columns from unavoida-: ble destruction. 4 6 It is said that the Emperor Napoleon was in the midst of them ; and, according to reports of the psi iriners,.he had a horse wounded under him.
