Lowenberg occupied by a van guard of the enemy. He. caused it to be attacked by his own, and drove the ettemy across the Bober. Our loss on this day amounts to about 2000 men in killed and wounded. It is very - small in comparison with that of the ene my.--The corps of Marshal Ney, together with the cavalry under Sebastiani, had *marched in the morn ' ing out of the vicinity of Haynau, taking the direc ;ion of Lowenberg. They remained standing on the mountains of Grodetz, in woody parts of it, and by !. some inconceivable accident were not discovered un- ell it was near noon. The General in Chief directed his columns to at tack on the following morning ;but the enemy broke up in the course of the night, and marched towards Bunslau, which he quitted on the 20th August, de stroying the intrenchments that he had thrown up, .blew-up his powder magazinis, and broke down all the bridges over the Bober. On the 21st August, when the Combined Army was preparing to cross the Bober, the enemy turned all his columns about again, and returned back to the attack near Butitzlau and Lowenberg. The con siderable force of the'enemy proved to the General in Chief ,that they wished to give battle, but which motives of great weight and superior consideration determined him to avoid. But for this, the enemy's corps which had passed the Bober at Lowenberg might have.been destroyed by the corps under Gene ral Von Yorck and Count Langeron. The whole Silesian Army was centrated at the .Groditzberge, whilst the vanguard took - advantage of the ground to disturb the enemy and detain him. On the 22d, at noon, the Silesian Army stood in or der of battle, between Adelsdorf and Pilgrainsdorf. The enemy threw himself on the left wing, which the General in Chief caused to retire behind Golberg, and drew up the army behind the Katsbach, with itsl right wing stretching to Leignitz. On the 23d, the enemy attacked Golberg. Thle vanguard of Count Langeron and that of General Von Yorck defended the town and heights with the usual valour of the allied troops. The enemy took the Wolsberg, which was . defended by small pests, and debouched from it with columns of infantry, but was thrice repulsed. The Russians and Prus sians charged several times with good effect. The brigade of the Prince of Mecklenburg fought on , the 'left bank of the Katsbach. One of the enemy's Ge nerals was run through the body by a Cossack. Se veral colours were lying on the &LI of battle, priso ners were brought in—the belunged to the 3d, sth, 6th, and 1 lth corps d'armee of the enemy, and una nimously asserted that the Emperor himself was at their head. General Baron Von Sacken sent word that the ene my was likewise advancing with a considerable force against him and Leignitz. On this day the great 13oliernian army must have penetrated two marches into &teeny ; and the Crown Prince of Sweden, with ; the Northern ArMy, might have taken possession of ' Lower Lusatia ; the Silesian army must therefore endeavour to draw the enemy still farther from . the. Llbe, to deprive him of time to unite his whole force. The General in Chief therelure issued orders to, put In end to the engagement, and to draw the army back towards Jaucr."Hard as this measure appeared, to the soldiery, yet it was justified by the higher con siderations for the whole. Our loss in these three days will scarcely amount to SUOO men in Hied and wnunded ; that of the ene my is, indeed, as yet unknown, but must certamlr be very considerable, as we bad the advantage of the ground. During the two days that the enemy at tacked us, he scarcely gained two German miles of ground. Several battalions of the Silesian Militia fought in such a distinguished manner as to raise the admiration of the old soldiers. The enemy has not followed us. If it is hi. inter tion to push through the mountains into Bohemia, where a corps has broken in by the way of Zettau to Reichenberg, in such a case the Silesian army, which has hitherto fulfilled the destination prescribed for it, may contribute id no small degree to his destruction. Should he return to Saxony, the Silesia* arnty` ,will follow him by forced marches. It will break up against the enemy to-morrow at break of day. BERLIN. AUGUST si. • Immediately after the first victorious accounts re -teived from his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of fikweden,-4 Deputation was sent to him to thank, bhp in the name of the inhabitants, for the protection he had afforded them ; to which the Crown Prince re turned the following answer : 44 _ GENTLEMEN—I have not.deserv • ed your thanks, but I rejoice much in this generous participation in the fortune of our arms, and in you: attachment to your exalted Monarch. We shall conquer! the. ad vanced guard of out army has already driven the flying enewy into Saxony. Let us only have confi dence in durselves, and Prussia shall soon be restored to her former greatness, and we will then celebrate the festival of victory . together : Salute- on my part the worthy inhabitants of Berlin, and fOrgei us . not.' Adieu! Gentlemen." According to various concurring reports, several considerable detached corps of the Grand Allied Ar my in Bohemia hove entered Saxony from Commot tau, by Annaberg, taken Cheanitz, and pushed their light troops already before Leipsic. According to a later, but an unconfirmed account, the Austrian Ge neral Count Neipperg has already entered Leipsic. PRAGUE, AUGUST ' 24. MILICOLOW BERLIN GAZETTE .EXTRAORDIN4RT. . . BERLIN, SEPTEMBER S. We have just received from Toeplitz, in Bohemia, 'under date of the 30th ult. at 8 r. N. tie very joyful i news, that the Allied Army had on that day entirely defeated and destroyed the corps of General Van ! clanatne. Vandamme himself was taken prisons ; as also General Hain, Aide-de-Camp of the French Emperor ; Generals Gnyot and Heimhrodt. The Prince Reuss, also a French General, was killed. Forty cannon, sixty ammunition waggons, and .50(X) prisoners, have been already brought in. The re. mainder of the. corps, %thick was 30,(000 strong, is either killed or dispersed. This great result has been ' brought about by the enemy having been attacked on all sides with great vigour ;• and the greatest gallon= try we: shown by the Allied troops. . ti The ability of General Kleist, and heroic resistance of the Count Ostermatin, on the preceding day, have contributed in a great degree to this complete victory,' Whole ranks I,f French were seen 1) ing on the field. of battle, and scarcely 10,000 men have escaped in' the deronte of the whole corps. It deserves to be mentioned, that just as thanks. gieings were offering trr Gin, on the field of battle, for this victory, the accounts of the victories.of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden, and `of Lieutenant-General Blucher, were received. • We subjoin to this glorious news the General Or ders of General Nr , .n Blucher, Commander-in-Chief of the Army 4.f Silesia.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 181 S. • The arrival of a Oottenburgh Mail and two He goland Mails yesterday has put us in possession of the details given by the Allies of the important series of operations, from the expiration of the Armistice to the final discomfiture of V4NHADIKE'S and bf , Do- NALD'S Corps in Bohemia and .
