,:-• _• 4. Her Majesty. the Emptese and cbmen has reeeived the following intelligence from the army, of the 11th of September : • The enmity's Grand ArMy 4 beaten at Dresden, took refuge in Bohemia. Informed that the Empe ror had gone to Silesia, the Allies assembled a corps of 'BO.OOO men, composed of Russians, Prussians, and Austrians, and on the sth marched upon Hot- • tendoif, the '6th upon Gieshubel; and the 7th on Pirna. On the Bth, at neon, the 'Emperor proceeded to Dohpa, ordered Marshal St. Cyr to attack the enemy's advanced guard, which wairdriven by General Bonnet from the heights of Dohna. During the 'eight, the French Were upon the camp of Pirna. • • On the 9th, the French army marched upon Borna and Furptenwalde. -'The Emperor's Head-quartess were at Liebstadt. On the 10th, Marshal St. Cyr marched from the village of Furstenvralde upon the Geiersberg, which commands the &herniae plain. General Bonnet, with the 13d division, descended into the plain near. Toeplitz. The enemy's army, which endeavoured to rally, after having called all its detachments from Saxony, was seen. If the debouch from the Geyers. berg had been practicable' for artillery,• that army would have been attacked in flank during its march ; but all the efforts made to get the cannon down were • ineffectual, . General Orinno debouched upon the heights of Peurswalde, Whilst General Dumonceau arrived - here by Hollendorf . We have made some hundreds of prisoners, of which several are officers. The enemy constantly avoided battle, and precipitately retired in all directions. , On the 11th the Emperor returned to Dresden. PARIS, SEPTEMBER so. Her Majesty the Empress Qpeen and Regent has received the following intelligence from the Army, dated the 7th of September : The Duke of Reggio, with the 12th, 7th, and 4th corps, marched on the 23d of August upon Berlin. He ordered the - village of Trebbin, defended by the enemy's army, to be attacked, an d forced it: he con tinued his movement. On the 24th of August, the 7th corps not having succeeded in the battle of Gross-Beeren, the Duke of Reggio marched upon Wittemberg. On' the 3d of September, the Prince of Moskwa took the command of the army, and marched upon Instetburg. On the sth he attacked and defeated General Tauentzien ; but on the 6th he was attacked on his march by General Bulow. Some charges of Cavalry on his rear threw disorder among his parks. He was obliged to retire upon Torgau. He lost 8000 men killed, wounded, or prisoners, and twelve pieces lee of cannon. The enemy's loss must also have very great. REPORT FROM TIM PRINCE OF MOSKWA. SIRC—:1 1 11e 12th corps d'armee attacked the ene my on the sth, and drove him with great vigour be. yond Seyda ; we took three flags, several pieces of cannon, and some hundreds of Prussian prisoners-- the field of battle was covered with the enemy's dead. 44 The following day (the 6th), the 44h corps de bouched at eight in the morning by Nouendor( g.nd. Juterboch : the enemy held the heights in the rear of Dennewitz. The 7th corps marched upon nohrbeck,' and the 12th upon Ohna : I thus refused my left, and' was in a condition to support the 4th corps, which, in place of attacking, was to turn Juterboch by its right, to mask the movement which I wished to make upon - Dahma, and upon which I had determined by the certainty that the whole of the enemy's army was de bouching in great haste upon Dennewitz. , g The enemy's advanced guard was overthrown by General Morand's division, which performed pro digies of valour.. General Lorge's division of light cavalry indiscreetly engaged (rnal magic), atid brought back in disorder, caused some confusion, which the ?ood countenance of the infantry soon cor rected. 'lin enemy being rapidly reinforced, the whole of the 4th corps found itself engaged. The 7th, which had been expected, at last arrived ; and I ordered General Regnier to briskly charge the enemy's right, whilst General Morand should renew his at tack. This general charge had much success; the enemy had just lost much' ground. Durutte's divi-' sion conducted itself well : sixty pieces of artillery fired grape-shot upon the enemy's troops, who were in disorder in the hollow ground, between Golsdorf and Wilmersdorf : in short, the 12th cot ps, which en tered briskly into action, drove the enemy's light upon his centre, separated from his left by the fourth corps. At this moment the battle was gained; but %two divisions of the 7th corps failed, and the whole of that corps suddenly falling back, carrying part of the 12th with it, changed the state of things. “ The enemy succeeded in throwing his masses be tween the 4th and 12th corps, which still fought with the greatest fery. I insensibly brought the 4th from the right of the 12tH. The artillery, from the posi tion placed upon cite heights between Ohne and Den- Dewitt, filled the interval ; and I then ordered a re treat. The 4th corpi effected it in good order upon Dahma, aid the 7th and 12th marched upon Schwei nitz. This morning the enemy, in number from three to four thousand infantry, with cannon and 120 horse, coming from Luckau, vehemently attacked Dahnu. The 23d regiment of the line marched against him, and forced him to precipitately retire. The bridge of Herzberg, upon the Elbe, has been - burnt. We have preserved two others, one above, and one below that town. To-morrow the 4th corps, i with a division of light cavalry, win proceed from ' Herzberg to Torgau. The 7th and 12th corps, and two other divisions of cavalry, will occupy positions upon Torgati. 44 The loss suffered yesterday is about 8000 men, and 12 pieces of cannon ; that of the enemy must have been as considerable, the artillery of the diffe rent. corps having consumed a great part of their am. 'Munition. We had many prisoners in our power, but they disappeared during the night march. (Signed) “ The Prince of Moartsva." • it " Torpu,Septeraber 7,181 9 ."

On Saturday we laid before our Readers the details of the recent military operations on the Continent,' as they had reached us from Gottenburgh and Heli goland. To-day our Readers will find them in a more ample shape, as given in Saturday's Gassite. But we have now, through the medium of Paris Pa pers, received what may be considered as a confirma tion of all these gratifying details, and obscure hints at disasters which have befallen the French armies even subsequent to the dates of Mr. MORNTON 9 I and •.••••••dl Lord CATHCART'S dispatches. The French Papers to which we have just, alluded,' are to the 23d instant. They contradict all the re ports which have reached us, and to which indeed we never gave much credit, that BONAPARTA had eva cuated Dresden—he was still there upon the 14th ; but the article in which the intelligence is conveyed, does not warrant any idea that his stay was to be • prolonged. The most interesting part of the -details contained in these Papers relates to the operations of the hostile armies in the vicinity of• Dresden. Lord CATHCART'S Dispatches announced the fact of the Bohemian Grand Army having again debouched from the Passes, about the sth or 6th instant. According to the French accounts, the Allies moved upon Hotten dorf, Qieshubel, and Pima, on the sth, 6th, and 7th instant, successively. Their object does not seem to have been another attack upon Dresden, nor even an offer to give battle ; for they speedily retired - from these positions, with .a view, no doubt, of drawing the Freich into Bohemia after them : in other words, it was their intention at least to chuse their own fight- ing ground : besides, their force amounted to 80,600 men only. The visit or the Allies to Pirna was, therefore, a mere demonstration, and we must presume that it succeeded to the utmost extent of their wishes, for the French admits.* they could not follow them as the ground did not admit of artillery being brought up, and 41 the , enemy constantly avoided nattle.-- 7 On ►he 11th the Emperor returned to Dresden, hav ing, as he conceived) driven the Allies once more be yond the passes. But let us now observe what took place in his absence ere we appreciate the advantages which he claims. The CROWN PRINCE had driven . OUDINOT before him to the Elbe, while BLUCHER was able to advance from the Silesian frontier, and these three immense armies were in full communication— according to Mr. THORNTON'S dispatches. The Allies are thus drawing the toils closer and closer around the central and main body of the in. vading army, while, according to the Berlin accounts of Saturday, in the direction of Italy, the Austrian armies keep BE4UHARNOIS in full employment. The plan of operation adopted by the Allies is, therefore, stupendous and magnificent in the extreme, and, un less some dreadful and unforeseen reverse takes place, there is more probability than ever that the whole face of Europe will be changed ere the commence ment of the winter. In Dresden the Tyrant cannot much longer remain : and be it remembered, that his retreat from Saxony will instantly add the Saxon army to the tanks of the Allies, and leave him single handed to maintain the contest. But the energetic appeals which have been recently made to the people of Germany, must have spread farther than Saxony ; for already we hear, through various channels, of the languid inaction of the Bavarian contingency, and of actual insurrection in the Tyrol. The French details of the battle of Juterbock, or rather of Dennevitz, are scanty : this is always the case when they have to cover the disgrace of a defeat. The era of Bulletins is nearly over, and the occupa tion of Historiographer to the French army, which used to admit of a display of eloquence and pathos I calculated to intoxicate the silly admirers of the don lastee ftwieee; of Dresden, has been conferred upon, Cardinal MAURY. It is from this hoary preacher only that we now hear of the 4g ever sublime genius of the Emperor," and of defeated armies commanded by crowned heads, doing homage to his transcendant faculties. The brilliant affair of Juterbock is thus gallopped . over :—On the sth the Prince of MOSILWA defeated TAUENZEIR, but on the 6th, be was attacked by te neral BuLow. Some cavalry charges threw disorder among his pan:, i. e.—he lost an his artiUery, and finally was obliged to retire upon Torgau, with a loss of 8000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Paris article of the 22d is evidently calculated to prepare the minds of the French public for a re verse of fortune, and perhaps also to gloss over some intermediate disasters between the 11th and the 14th. No details af9perations on these three days are given. RVIMTED CAPTURE OF DRESDEN BY THE AWES' ON THE SEPTEMOER, AND - DEFEAT OF DAVOUST WITH Tin LOSS oi SIX THOUSAND MEN. - Accounts from Heligoland, dated the 28d instant, mention the receipt of intelligence from Altona, dated the 2lst, announcing the fall of Dresden on the 16th. The following letter on this interesting subject is so precise as to dates that we feel very much inclined to give full credit to the intelligence. , • The French accounts from Dresden, as we have already hinted, are of a complexion to induce a belief that on the 14th, the date of the last accounts front that city, they had no confidence that they would be able to retain the place much longer ; and we have hardly a doubt that, before many hours shall pass, official accounts will confirm this important and glo rious intelligences " HELIGOLAND, SEPT. 43. " A boat has just arrived here from Tonningen—. the people on board her state, that it was positively asserted at Altona, on the 21st, that the Allies took possession of Dresden on the 16th, that Davoust had returned to Hamburgh, after, according to his own confession, having suffered a loss of 5,000 men ; that'the Russians were in great numbers at Harburg, and that considerable apprehensions were entertained at Altona of their immediate entrance into that town." " HARWICH, SEPT. 28. II We learn by the Lord Duncan, Captain linsm.- TON., which arrived yesterday noon, that DAvousT has returned to Hamburgh, after experiencing in his retreat from Schwerin a severe defeat by Count Wm.- monen. He acknowledges himself to have lost Six Thousand Men, in a Proclamation he issued soon after he reached that place ; but claims credit for re taining his Eagles, after having been attacked by so superior a force. 44 We know his army has been greatly reduced by desertions (luting his stay at Schwerin. Four Dutch conscripts have arrived by the packet who re port that 800 of the 2d Dutch corps deserted from him the day before they withdrew themselves ; and it is further stated, that a dysentery : having broken out in an alarming degree among the Danish army,they were necessitated to separate themselves from the French. Altona Papers to a very late date, the 20th or 21st, are arrived by the packet, and forwarded to Government. Vessels, with grain and provisions of all sorts, are hourly arriving at Heligoland from Slesu ich and Holstein. The outward-bound packets, with three Mails, are yet detained by contrary winds." This morning BuenosAyres Gazettes to the lstJuly reached us, from which the following are extracts: 4, BUENOS AYRES, JUNG so. •• We know, frcim good authority, that since the Army of tl:e Country encamped before Montevideo, that more than 5000 persons, of all ages and sexes, have died it it. •• The ordinary ration in the enemy's port for the marines, consists of 14 ounces of salt meal, without bread, and even latterly without meat. That for the land troops is in the same, or very nearly, proportion. •• It is about a month since the corvette of war, the Sebastian', arrived at Montevideo from Cadiz.— "According to what the sailors tell the inhabitants, it appears that they expect the one hundred times pro mised reinforcement, 3000 men ;--others say, that a good marine battalion alone is coming. The Army of the Country, in the mean time, wishes those troops should arrive, in the hope that they may be afforded such another day as the 31st of last Picember." An Extraodinary Buenos Ayres Gazette of the 19th June contains a Dispatch from General J. M. de Carrera, dated 25th May, stating, that on that day he had taken possession of the City of Concep tion ; that be expected in two days' to obtain, without bloodshed, possession of the Port of Talcahuano and that the enemy's soldiers deserted, and joined the bands of the country. ' • An extraordinary Buenos Ayres Paper of the 30th June announces the capture of the port of Talcahuano by General Carrera, on the 29th May, after an action of four hours. Yesterday, her MAJESTY, accompanied by the Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, took an airing to Frogmore. Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, with their usual attendants, rode on horseback in Windsor Park. Yesterday Lord LIVERPOOL had an audience of the PRINCE REOEN r. Saturday night Messrs. Small and PEGLER, King's Messengers, set off from the Foreign Office, to em bark at Yarmouth, with dispatches for Lord CATII• CART, Sir CHARLES STEWART, and Mr. THORNTON* General Moazau displayed a fortitude and resig nation corresponding with the whole tenour of his life. When his surgeons informed him of the hopelessness of his situation, he dictated a letter to the Emperor ALinutrinaa, in which he fervently expressed his grate ful sense of the kindness he had received from that Monarch. But even at this awful moment, the promotion of the sacred cause, in which he had embarked, was uppermost in his mind ;—and after communicating the hopes he entertained of its suc cess, and some remarks on its further prosecution, he expired without a groan. Lord CATHCART, it is said, has written all the particulars respecting , his last mo ments to the Duchess of DEVONSIIMIto with a request to communicate them to Madame Moae&u, who is inconsolable for the loss of her husband. -- - - - ti;tr:st niritzdvEmcs, i Dublin - Waftrford Cads AM DUL. o 1 Heligoland 1 1 Guttenburgl O 1 Goerti*y Wilma • S Jersey - FALMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 24.

Letters from Guernsey, we are sorry to hear, state the arrival there of a vessel which had fallen in with the stern part of the wreck of his Majesty's schooner ALPIIEA, which has been some time missing. The vessel lowered her boat down, and took away several signal-flags from the wreck.—The Acme/. sailed from Plymouth, a few weeks since, for Guernsey, and it is supposed she was beating across the Channel, when some large merchant ship, going down Channel with a strong tide, ran her down. She was com „mantled, by Lieutenant Jones, who, it is feared, with ber crew, perished. 1.1. 1 1 0 • • t • 1 • DEAL, SEPTEMBER 21.
