As no opportunity of procuring a pilot had occur red, previous to my departure from England, pop pf making myself aerie:owed With the periodical strength and directicn of the tides in this channel since my at. rival upon the station, 'I sent an officer to bring on board the Master of a fishing-boat, anchored within a.nule or two of the shore,'in hopes of obtakting sonic / information from him ; but his fears and his igno rance, or unwillingness, disappointed me. By the time the ship was warped into the channel, and :ill hands placed at the sweeps, 1-found she way ,pursued by a large division of the enemy's flotilla, . which had been perceived rowing out of the Murbi' I ban, soon after she anchored. By half-past eight o'clock, the enemy had advanced ; within extreme range, and opened their fire— th ey I cdhrititted rapidly gaining upon the ship, until abou% • half past nine, when they were so near that I was 1 compelled to sweep her broadside to, and engage, tinder the greatest disadvantages the Vincejo could ' 'possibly be exposed to—a pet feet caltn,•a strong Rood I tide then niade against her, the people fatigued by ' hard labour at the oar, and divided during flit'acal tion, between the larboard guns and the starboard • sweeps.

On the 22d, Count Wittgenstein's corps fell -ki with the enemy, and had a very considerable encounter with them near l3erghishabel and Zehista. The enemy met the allies on the frontiers, and have been beaten back from all their positions, towards Dresden, although they endeavoured unsuccesefullt to defend every inch of ground. The different columns of the Allied Armies Wen to delrbuche from the mottntains and passes, at such concerted periods as would prob.ibly have operated fatally upon the enemy, if the arrangement, as plan. ned, had been completely tarried Into effect ; but the eagerness of the troops to push on and engage, brought the rigiPt corps into action on the morning of the 22d.

Pence Maurice of Lichtenstelr:metie an ackniratle • disposition on the side %%here the enemy made thwit• enemy 0,,..._ sortie, by which all disorder was avoided,. This A. terprise, in proportion to its being of moment, was one of great difficulty ; no troops could signalise themselves more, and, in my humble opinion, if it had been physictlly possible to carry the place tin. der the eiteurnstanees, they would have accomplish. ed k. But there were no breaches foi the troops to enter, and the artillety, although Invught the close of the evening to near one hundred paces of die* will, were not able to batter it, or make an impression. From the best talculutiors I can' make, 1 shottiti estimate the lots of the Alkies at under 4000 men in this attack. The Austrians chiefly suffered. The sortie of the enemy was a prelude rya mom general battle, which took place on the following morning, the 28th. Bonaparte had arrived in kesilen, from that part of his army in Lusatia, on the night of the 22d, and has(ng a very large 4 force in Dresden,at least Iso,oun merle he appears. to - have actermined on attacking the 'Allies, who occupied a very extended position on tho heights strtrounaing it. • The enemy had great advantages in their &peal. tib - tifor attack : Dresden, lined with guns, was their rear ; their communications were not intersect. id; if they made an impression, they c.)nld pursue k i If they failed, they could withdraw in security. and our troops could not folks* them under the gnats of the place. One of the worst da7s that ever was seen, adieci materially at the difficulties of the Allies, who bad arrived, by rapid marches, through bad math anal defiles, at their positions i and whose supplies, ei every kind, it pas difficult, if not impossible, to getup. Availing himtelf of the advantages abomstatec!, Bonaparte displayeti an immense number of pieces of artillery ; and heavy cannonading on both sides , formed the chief feature of the battle. Charges in vtnicas points were made, both with the Russian, P t iusian, and Austrian Cavalry, and they distin• gobbed themselves highly f but the main bodies of the Infantry, in both armies, did not come in contact. The weather was so hasy, and the rain so incessant. that the action Was sustained, at all points, under the heaviest disadvantages. .
