Dis'patebei, of which the following ire copier, have. been this day received by Viscount Castlereagh,' his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign :•Affairs, from ieutenant.General the Honourable • Sir Charles William Stewart, K. B. dated Gottingen, November 2, 11113. MY Lotto—The intended movement of the main . body of the .army of. the North on Cassel, as de tailed in my tat _dispatch, has been arrested, and the . Prince Royale:4oo been induced to direct his opera tions towards tanover and the North, for the fol lowing reasons Marshal Davoust is s till in position on the right bank of the Elbe, and seems very. unwilling to se parate front the Danes, So long as he can retain his hold ; the corps of Lieutenant-General Walmoden is not of sufficient *force to act offensively without considerable aid. The extermination of the enemy hi the North of Germany ; the possession of Bremen, the mouths of the Weser and the Elbe; the speedy reduction of Hamburgh ; the advantage of opening an immediate communication with England during the winter ; the. liberation of his Majesty's Electoral ekirsliniowsi and the organization -cf its civil aud military power; the facility that will be afforded to the futureoperations of the northern army, either in Holland or.on the Rhine, when their rear is entirely secure ; and.lnstly, the hope of cutting off Marshal I,avoust c ompletely from Holland, are the united :considerations which . have determihed his R.pyal Highness to alter his ,proposed movement, and the . -army of the north is nossiim march tut Bremen and Handers+. from whence, it wiu be directed . against the remaining forces of the enemy in .the North of Germany. . . . • The Prince Royal transferred his bead-quarters from Miihlhausen to DingeLtadt on the 29th, on the 90th to tleiligepstadt, and yesteriky to this place. —The advanced guard, under Lieutenant.:General W u rta,l4o4l, and the. K u sstans, .under General Win., zinAeroje, entered (tassel on the Stith. The Swedes and Prussians were in the neighbourhood of Heir...j genstadt on that day, when his Royal Highness ale termined on a change in his line of movement. Reports arrived -from General Czernicheff, dated from Neuhaus the 27th. He details, that having Joined General :iloweiski wish another partizan corps from the grand army, he proceeded to Fulda, which town he occupied, waking five: hundred prisoners: be.then destroyed the enemy's magazines and pro ceeded to hre - ak down die bridges and ~render roads as impracticable as possible, having contrived •44it, poo r himself . l.etween 'the enemy's main body ... . .. .. . .. and their advance. The manner General Czerni cheff harasses them is; nut 19 be desscribed. While in his positiortat Vittla, he perce.ves ,the advance of their collected force, consisting of sortie squadrons of gens d'arniies Moving towards the town—he imme diately advances .with his Cossacks, - charges and overthrows them, and s ilienretnrns to follow the ad vanced gwird on the great road towards Frankfurt, carrying destruction to all the enemy's means before their arrival. .. General Czernicheff states that ,Bonaparte went from Eisenach to 'shell, and that he had the inten • tion of going to the Weser, but the march of the • Prince Royal and Marshal Blucher preveeted him, and he siipposes his line will now be Wetzlar. He adds, his army is reduced to fifty thousand men' armA and collected. ' Many of the enemy, how ever, are' retiring in _different directions, evea with out firms—the retreat brcibly resembles that from -nussia. - A' party of Cossacks took a French Colonel, with "4*kt:h .. from J..ronie El ma parte to Murat.

I have as yet seen no &E..? cial account troth whence a judgment can be tormed of the manner in which Bonaparte, with the remnant of his army, extricated himself by Hanau and Frank- I fort, and passed the Rhine at Cassel. The sangui nary and hard-fought actions by General Wrede, merit unquestionably the highest encomiums. The force of Bonaparte, as he retired on the great line of his communications, was probably augmented by troops at Erfurt, and other places on its march, and in his battles with General Wrede, he seems to have brought forward seventy or eighty thousand men, a. force much beyond what we estimated him to possess , 'after his various losses. It is quite clear, however, he did not think himself secure with this number, as during the last battle he appears to have sought his safety, with an escort of ten thousand cavalry, which General Czernicheff very gallantly and not a little roughly handled. Marshal Blucher's army seems to have been di meted out of the great line of road on Frankfort, on which they were following the enemy, and they were I marched on Wetzlar and Coblentz. It was consider ' ed, when Gen. Wrede occupied Hanau and Frank. fort, that Bonaparte would march on Coblentz. But by Marshal Blucher being turned into another direction, it appears no part of the grand army could or did arrive in time to take part in the actions with Gene , ral Wrede, which is to be lamented, The Prince Royal moved his headquarters to Hanover on the 6th. The Prussians under General Bulow are at Minden, and General Winzingerode will arrive in a day or two at Bremen: The Swedes are matching towards Harburgh. The corps of General I3ennigsen is descending the Elbe, and is arrived at Leutzen. This Genetal, with Lieutenant General Count ,Waknoden, will operate on the right bank against Marshal Davoust's position on the 3tecknitz. Generals.Winzingerode and Bulow will, however, rot he delayed in com mencing their march towards Holland. General Bennigsen briogs ample !vice with him. General Bulow will in a few days have recruited his army, in his Prussian Majesty's ancient states, to the number it amounted to here the opening of the cam' paign. —The ample, generous, and liberal aid of the Prince. Regent, in arms and clothing, is of an invaluable consequence at this moment to these b;ave Prussians. • COPY OW TILE SUPPLEMENT TO THE PEANICEOVe °Wars OF THE 4TH NOVEMBER* Oil Head-quarters, Franbfort, November 3. After the capture of Wurtzburgh, the combined Austrian and Bavarian army directed its march on Hanau, in order to encounter the Grand French Ar my, which was effecting its retreat by that place.
