tired in much disorder, and were pursued by the Tirailleurs until night fall. m On these occasions Gen. Czetniscbeff attacked the enemy on the side of Belsig ; his cavalry execut ed some brilliant charges.. A regiment of Cossacks charged a column of infantry 1000 strong, which it destroyed or made prisoners of. We cannot yet specify all the Officers who signalised themselves in _this day's action. General Caernischeff took sixty Officers, 1500 soldiers, and .one piece of cannon.— General Hirschfeld, between 70 and 80 Officers, and more than 2000 soldiers, besides seven cannon, many waggon loads of ammunition, and nearly all the enemy's baggage. 4 , The Prussian infantry required some repose after so many toilsome marches; but the Cossacks, under General Czernischeff, pursued the enemy briskly ; Colonel Benkendorf, on the evening of the 27th, passed through the enemy, and was at Gorzke. It is probable they will not escape ; nor any, save the feeble remains of the corps of General Girard towards Magdeburgh or Wittenberg. 44 That which more particularly reflected honour on the corps of General Hirschfeld, was the forced marches it executed immediately after this action. The young troops of the new levy, chiefly composed of the Militia of the New Marches, obtained victory over an enemy superior in numbers and in 'artillery. This proves what ardent patriotism, guided by an• able and active General, can perform. Sazons--Ba. varians—Wurtembargers ! You—you have chewed your courage in a cause repugnant to the wishes and . the interests of your country, and sustaining a foreign yoke; which could never exist if you were animated by motives truly noble and pure ! Where is that power on the earth, which united Gtimans, combat ing for the independence and the integrity of their coUntry, could not successfully resist " General Thumen evinced great bravery in the actions which preceded the affair of Gross Beeren. Aith•ugb wounded, he continued to command in person. General O'Rourke displayed in all the ac tions with the enemy, a great deal of coolness and talent. Since the renewal of hostilities, the enemy's force opposed to that of the Allies in the North of Germany, has lost more than 12,000 men. Accord ing to the reports of the generals, 7000 prisoners have been made, of whom 250 are Officers, including several Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels." " Angust 29, Nine L'clock, A.

SEVENTH SWEDISH BULLETIN. • 0 1 HeaS-,quarter, Befits, August 20. 66 The Prince Royal removed his Head-quarters to this place in the course of the day. 61 From all the intelligence received by the priso ners of the corps of General Girard, that officer Was killed in the affair of the 27th. General Putlitz re ceived a violent contusion on the shoulder. He dis played much bravery and talent. Prisoners are hourly wad , . ; and the troops are in brisk pursuit of the enemy. •r General Borstel occupies Zinna and Juterbock, and has given, ou every opportunity, proofs of 'pis zeUl and . science. 66 The energy appeared disposed to concentrate Wi t tenberg at Eckmansdorff and K attenborn, between Wi t tenberg and Truenhritzen. The intelligence re . ceived this clay from Generals Winzingerode and W. ronzoff, leaves it no longer in doubt, that the enemy have retired to:Yards the F.lbe. General Winzingernde pursues them with eight thousand cavalry. , • “ General Wornnzoff, who went to take the com mand of the Russian advanced guard, -made an at tack upon Juterbock, tl.c day before yesterday, to. wards night, with between three and four thousand meot whilst the enemy had at le ist twenty thousand in the town, or very near it. A brisk cannonade put the enemy in great alarm. This operation was highly creditable to the talents of General Woronzoff, who, at the moment ot'its commencement, was uninformed that a s . .rong column was on its march to support him in case of rwcessity. All the army is upon the advance. • " The Grand Ru,sian, Austrian, and Prussian Army, under the command of Marshal Prince De Schwartaenberg„ debouched from Bohemia into Saxony the 22d of August, taking a position on the left b-ink of the Elbe. The troops which the enemy hadposted in the defiles were forced. On the 25th, ere head-quartet of the Allies were before Dresden. The bombardment commenced, and the thy was al. gady in flames.

Paris Papers to the 7th instant arrived in the course of yesterday. Their arrival gave rise to a variety of reports, which we communicated as they reached us. To-day we present our Readers with ample extracts. They furnish incontrovertible evidence that a whole division of the French Army, commanded by VAN. DAMME, has been cut to pieces by the Allied Army. Great pains are taken, not to conceal the disaster, but, as usual with BONAPARTE, to blame his General : VANDAMME'S position was bad—we are told—and the whole catastrophe was owing to a warlike ar dour badly calculated." Be this as it may, VAN DAMME has paid the forfeit of his life. We are told, to be sure, that he disappeared." This phrase BONAPARTE borrowed from his American allies.— Their generals also " disaMear" occasionally, in the elegant language of General DEARBORN and his Bulletin writers. The pressure of other matter leaves us no room for further comments : our Readers will see that there are no grounds for despondency on the subject of the affairs in the vicinity of Dresden. We hope, in common with all well-wishers to the good cause in which he is engaged, that General MOREAU is net dead of his wounds, but that his ser vices .will be reserved to co-operate in the deliverance of Europe and his Country. An article in the French Papers states, that the French Army actually entered Berlin on the 23d ult.. We have intelligence, however, from that Capital to the 31st, when it was known that the French Army was in full retreat towards the Elbe. This is another specimen of how little reliance can be placed upon French statements. WOttudod by sabrei." AUSTRIAN DECLARATION OF WAR. At length we are enabled to lay before our Readers the Austrian Declaration of War. It retraces the annals of Europe for the last twenty yens, for the purpose of justifying the policy of the Austrian Ca. biller during that eventful period. Its perus tl will necessarily excite sensations of regret for the past, but it will also warrant the most sanguine hopes for the future. There is one declaration in it which is worth vo lumes of arguments and millions of armed men. The Emperor of A usratn has now opened his eyes to the solemn truths of which too many of the Princes of Europe have been long ignorant. He has now dis covered that the restoration of the Prussian Mo. narchy was the first step towards that cf the who?e political system of Europe, and he wined Me danger in which else now stood as equally letting hiwsey." How many nations—how many brave men have receided with their blood the ignorance of their rulers of this awful truth ! Where is the nation on the Con tinent, whose rulers have not been in their turn-guilty of the gross error which the Emperor has now pro claimed. Austria has seen Prussia tamely devoured —Prussia has been an idle spectator of the ruin of Austria—but of all the Continental Powers, Den mark has most to answer for at the present moment. —On her then let the great axe now fall It is impossible to peruse , the Austrian Declaration without imbibing a conviction, that the war under taken by the Cabinet of Vienna is interminable but with the expulsion of the French Ruler from all in terference in the affairs of other States, or (dreadful alternative!) complete and unlimited dominion to the Tyrant. It we were disposed to cavil at any part of a do cument which has given us so much satisfaction, we should point out that part which attempts to , justify the conduct of Austria during the invasion of Rus sia, as lame and impotent. The Austrian contin gents, on that occasion, occupied p.lsitions which would have enabled it to have annihilated the French Army and its leader. The attitude which Austa:a might then have assumed she can never re gain. It was, in meth, her particular line of policy during this memorable campaign, which, as an de gant Continental writer observes, has put it out of her power to make a good manifesto. When the Emperor mentions the marriage of his daughter, it is impossible for any man of feeling, or any father, to refuse the homage of a tear. What must have been the feelings of a high-minded and legitimate Sovereign, when circumstances, to which we shalt not now allude, compelled him to give his daughter to his oppressor ! But how much more poignant must have been his anguish to discover, that even a human victim would not satisfy this modern PoLvPuittaus !—the Great Pacificator—he who, ac cording to his base-born adulators, makes war to secure a durable peace, will not consent even to a nontiad sacrifice for the repose of Europe While this disposition remains, therefore, we have nothing but war, inextinguishable war, to expect 1 SECOND EDITION. FALL OF ST. SEBASTIAN'S.-SOULT AGAIN DEFEATED. MI••••• STAR-OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK. In the early part of our impression. we stated that the Admiralty Telegraph from Plymouth had an. nounced the f4ll of this fortress. The event took place on the 9th instant. It was taken by storm by the troops under Sir THOMAS GRAHAM. At three o'clock this afternoon, Major EYRE, one of Lord WELLINGTON'S Aide-de-Camps, trrived in Downing -street, from his Lordship, with the impor tant particulars of the fall of St. Sebastian's. The loss of the enemy, in killed, wounded and prisoners, is immense. The post-chaise, in which Major EYRE travelled, was decorated with laurels. Preparations are making for firing the Park and Tower guns. STAR-OFFICE, FOUR O'CLOCK. The following are the particulars as circulated in the Government Offices : 44 Major Evaa has arrived with. Dispatches from Marquis WRLLINGTON, containing an account of the taking of the Town of St. Sebastian by Storm. 11 Major EYRE had a very long passage, and the PRESIDENT British frigate was dispatched after him, announcing the Capitulation of the Castle of St. Sc- bastian's. - s Nothing can equal the gallantry displayed by thißritish troops in the storming of the town. Th. y drove the French from street to street, and from house to house. Their loss, in killed and wounded. is considerable—apor iris of 2000. " During these operations, Soma had made ano- I then attempt to advance to the relief of St. Sebas. tian's, but was completely foiled by the Spaniards, who repulsed the French at all points. as The Spaniards were left in charge of the Post where the attack was made,and their conduct was ad mirable in the extreme. Their loss, however, was severe." Tile Park and Tower guns fired in celebration of the glorious achievements above detaileL% • FURTHER SUCCESSES OF THE CROWN PRINCE'S ARMY. Last night Mr. Evtr.s the Messenger, arrived in town from Gottenburgh, with dispatches from Lod CAT 'MART and Sir CnattLEs They are understood to detail events of the highest importance. In another part of our Paper we have given the Sixth and Seventh Bulletins of the CROWN PRINCE'S Army ; but the affair of General &coma seems to have been still more glorious than any which has been yet recorded on the part of the Allies; the corps of NIIY, MACDONALD, aid LAUHIbTON, Irving kKen completely routed and nearly annihilated, in a series of most desperate actions fought on the 22d, 23d, and 24th. Besides the fifty pieces of cannon mentioned in the Gottenburgh letter, nearly all the enemy's waggons and ammunition were taken ; but no pri. soners were made, as quarter, it is said, was not given on either side. Thu must render BONAPARTIeII position at Dresden very hazartiatis.. It is reported that lie had commenced his retreat on the 54. The following letter contains some additional par. ticulars : a YARMOUTH, SEPT. Is. 44 The Beaufoy packet, from Gottenburgh, landed Messenger at Winterton last night; he is the bearer of Dispatches relative to an Action fought on the 27th, between the Corps of Generals BLUCHER and SACKEN, against three divisions of the French Army, commanded by NEY, LAURISTON; and DAvotrsv ; th.it a most decisive victory was obtained over them, owing principally to the gallantry displayed by SACKEN 2 S Corps.. That very few prisoners were made, but that the action was most sanguinary, and that the Allies bad taken 25 pieces of cannon. The Beaufoy brings no account of the battle of Dresden. The battle of the 27th is said to have been fought near Bunzlau." MUTINY ON BOARD THE FRENCH FLEET AT TOULON.
