Meanwhile the several Lumna of the army were ordered to cross the Atter It Pegau, and bear down s end to How the gorge • of a rivulet, which, rising near the Elster, runs in a north-west direction to the S aa l e , .by wh ich move. meat, which the groundlavoured, it was intended to turn the enemy's right between Weissenfels and LUt xen, while his attention was directed to his left be the latter place and Leipsic. As soon as their Majesties saw .the troops placed according to the disposition, the whole was put in motion towards the enemy. The country is uncovered and open, the soil dry and light, but with very considerable varrety of hill and valley, and much intersected by hollow ways and mill-streams, the former nOt discernable till closely approached. The enemy, placed behind a long ridge, and in a string of villages, of which Gorscheri is the princi pal, with-a hollow way in front, and a stream suffi cient to float timber on the left, waited the near ap proach of the Allies. He had an immense quantity of ordnance, of 12 pounders, and larger natures, distributed through out the line, and in . the villages ; the batteries in the open, country were supported by masses of infantry in solid squares. The plan of operation determined upon, on view of the enemy, was to attack the village of Gros Gots , clip; with artillery and infantry, and in the mean while to pierce the line to the enemy's right of the vil lages, with a strong column of cavalry, in order to cut off the troops in the villages from support. The remainder of the enemy's line was to be en gaged, according to circumstances, by the corps opposed to it. The cavalry of the Prussian reserve, to whose lot this attack fell, presented themselves and supported their movements with great gallantry. but the showers of grape-shot and musketry, to which they were ex posed on reaching the hollow way, made it imprac ticable for them to penetrate; and the enemy appear ing deterrnivd to maintain the villages at any ex pence, the affair assumed the most expensive cha racter of attack and defence, of a pc.st repeatedly taken, lost, and retaken. The cavalry made several attempts to break the enemy's line, and behaved with the most exemplary coolness and regularity under very heavy fire ; in some of these attacks they succeeded in breaking into the squares and cutting down the infantry. Late in the evening, Bonaparte having called in the troops from Leipsic, and collected all his re. serves } made an attack from his left on the right of the Allies, supported by the fire of several batteries advancing. • The vivacity of this movement blade it expedient. to change the front of the nearest brigades on the right, and as the whole cavalry from the left was or dered to the right to turn this attack, and to charge it, I 'was not without hopes of witnessing the destruc tion of Bonaparte and all his army ; but before the cavalry could arrive, it became so dark, that nothing could be distinguished but the flashes of the guns. The Allies remained in possession of the disputed villages, and of the line on which the enemy had stood. Order were given to renew the attack in the morning, but the enemy did not wait for it, and it was judged expedient, with reference to the general posture of the cavalry, not to pursue. The wounded have all been removed across the Elbe, while the cannon and prisoners taken, and the ground wrested from the enemy in the action, are iucontestible proofs of the success of the Allies. Both. Sovereigns were in the field the whole day. ' The * King was chiefly near the village where his troops were engaged. The Emperor was repeatedly in every part of the field, where he was received with the most animating cheers by every corps he approached. The fire, to which his person was not unfrequently exposed, and the casualties which took place near him, did not appear in the least to dis tufb his attention from the objects to which it was directed, and which he followed without any osten tation. General Wittgenstein, with the army, is between the Elbe and the Elster, with the command of seve ral bridges over the former.

EAST-INDIA COMPANY'S AFFAIRS. Lord CA.STLE REA G H said, that in consequence of the intimation he had given on a former night, he rose to fix the day fir going into a Committee on the East-India Company's Charter. The Committee had given the most unwearied attention to the subject, and he believed the whole of the evidence had been closed on Friday last, and would doubtless be printed so as very soon to be in the hands of all the Mem bers of the House. The evidence having been printed trom day to day, as the examinations had severally been taken, those Hon. Members who intended to make themselves acquainted with it for the purpose of taking part in the discussion of this most important question had had an opportunity of reading it by piecemeal, as it was printed; and had, therefore, by degrees, made themselves acquainted with that which would otherwise have been too voluminous to have entered upon ; and he supposed, from last Friday to next Monday, would be quite sufficient for every Member to read and to consider the last part of the evidence which had been printed. The subject was certainly of the most vital importance to the country, and it would be necessary to fix as early a day as pos- sible to go into a Committee upon it, in order that it might receive the fullest and most mature discussion 'before that part of the Session came on when it would be impossible to secure a full attendance. He thrght they ought not by any means to defer it beyond Monday, and therefore moved, that the House do, on Monday next, resolve into the said ComMittee. Mr. JOHN SMITH thought the time for consi- deration of the evidence was too short, and hoped the Noble Lord would name a more distant day. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, it was for the in terest of the Company, that they should commence the discussion while a full attendance might be ex pected ; and it was necessary to commence as early as possible, in order to be certain of getting through with it during the present session. Mr. C. G RANT said, his attendance on the Com mittee, on the examination of evidence, had been .; constant and unremitting, that he had hitherto had no time to read over the evidence since it was printed, and was, therefore, not prepared to go into the Corn mittee, so as to d o any justice to the question; and though he would deprecate delay as much as ant man, he thought the question of far too much impor• taace to be treated with any degree ofihurry or pre cipitation. General GASCOYNE thought, as the last of the evidence was printed on Friday, there would be tine enough between that day and next Monday, to read and consider it. An early day was certainly veil necessary, for if it were delayed, it would be impos• sihle to ensure such an attendance as the importance 9f the question demanded. He hoped, therefore , the Noble Lord would persist in his motion for Monday. M. 14 4 :WORTH did not wonder the advocates for the Outports should wish to hurry on the business; but as the Company were also very deeply interested in the question, he hoped the Noble Lord would not Pre4s so early a day. 'For his own part, his attention to, and attendance on the Committee, had been 0 great, 'he had never had time to read the evideeee since it was printed. Mr. WHITUREAP also hoped would not insist on so early a day as Modal' the Noble Lord
