FLIGHT OF B9NAPARTE IN THE DIR EC • OUNDED .RALS RS. tom with Dis- intelligence which ever Army is once fled, not in the ick, with the then 'separated . • • . • • into okroldetached parsie,. In three days he has lost Tends of 9NEHrRED THOUSAND 'MEN; 'AND ALL HI NNON. The News, as might be expected, has diffused the trim universal satisfaction, and at twelve o'clock the rands had risen about 1 per Cent. The Victory bas been. celebrated by the firing of the Part and Tower guns. We hasten to lay before our Readers the following OFFICIAL PARTICULARS : On the 16th the operations of the Grand Armies opposed to each other commenced. On the side of the Elbe, between that river and Leipsic, a most desperate attack Was made upon General BLUCHER'S Army, by Marshal NRY, with a view to cut his way to the main body of the French Army on the Saab The Battle lasted the whole day. Marshal Nzle. was defeated at all points—he lost TWELVE THOU SAND MEN—the Allies about SIX or SEVEN THOUSAND. It was a most desperate and ob stinate Engagement. The same day, and at the same moment, Prince SCHWARZ ENBERG, at the head of the Combined Armies of the Allies, made an attack upon the main French Army, commanded by BONAPARTE in person. The Battle was most furiously contested—the French were driven from their positions, and left TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND MEN, IN • KILLED, WOUNDED, AND PRISONERS, behind them. On the 17th there was no fighting—the French kept retreating, with the Allies in sight—the latter continued tending mounted detachments further into the rear, and extending their line of interception On the 18th, the Allies again came up with the fugitive French army. Muaatr, at the head of the cavalry, made a most desperate charge, and suc ceeded in breaking the centre of the Allied lines.— Qeneral BaNicsaN then brought up the reserve of the Russian army. The whole of the French columns were instantly thrown into confusion, and fled with precipitation, leaving behind them ALL THEIR CANNON, consisting of ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY PIECES ; and about FORTY THOU SAND in Killed, Wounded, and Prisoneri The retreat of BONAPARTE by Erfurth was un- derstood to be cut off by the Bavarian army and the Cossacks, and he therefore fled, with about sixty thousand of his army, in DETACHED I'ARTIE:,i in the Zwection of Brunswick. Among the prisoners taken VI the lath, are Generals LAWRISTON I ItkX;NILR I and Sotabtm. MACDONALD is reported to be killed. SIXTY-FIVE GENERALS in all were Kiiie d Wounded, and taken Prisoners. The Polish General Prince PONIATOWSKY, is among the Killed, and Ma.. slut Mostnat also among the Prisoners. On the 19th the Allies took Leipsic by storm ; ,}4ey found THIRTY THOUSAND French troops there, who surrendered Pr'isoners of War. The Emperors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA, the King If PRt*SIA, and the CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN met together in the Grand Square of Leipsic on the 19th, and were received with loud acclama lions by the inhabitants. The KING of SAXONY and his WHOLE COURT are PRISONERS. LE fl to Tut LORD MAYOR. PORRION OrFICE, NOVEMBER S.

A large American privateer, of 24 guns, had sailed thence on a cruize." We•have strong reason to believe that there is no truth whatever in the above statement. Lloyd's let ter, and our owe accounts from Falmouth of the same date, say nothing of the arrival of such a ves sel, or such a report being in circulation. TION OJ BReINSWICK, SURRO ISiGUARDS.

PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS. " Camp ow Gera, October 15. " You will hare seen the public account which Lord March carried with him to England days before this reaches you; but I cannot resist the pleasure of adding my mite of praise to the conduct of the Spa nish troops. The Portuguese are, by all parties, al lowed to rival the British in discipline and in valour; and I am bold to pronounce, that if the Spanish asmy would be submitted to such an organization as the Portuguesehas received, it would hold an equal rank." BRIGADIER-GENERAL SIR J. DOWNIE'S *SPORT TO Tilt • SPANISH GENERAL OP DIVISION. 14 Spanish Camp, October 11. - a EXCELLENT have the honour to report to your Excellency the operations of the column of at tack upon the left, which was yesterday pl iced under my command, with the casualties which attended it. ' As most of these operations were made under your personal observation, I have only to observe to your Excellency, that having sent the companies of tinat p Shooters in front, to skirmish and cover our approach, I brought the remainder of the troops in close column to within a hundred yards of the highest part of the enemy's position, and at that distance from his en trenchments and parapet I halted to breathe the troops; in a few minutes I drdered bayonets to - ,be fixed, and the bugles and drums to sound the charge, and then pushed forward at the charge in double quick time : with such promptitude, vigour, and va lour, did the troops follow to the front, that . in a mo ment we were masters of the trenches, ramparts, and principal positions, the French retreating in the mpst precipitate disorder, and the standard of the • Regi ment of Seville was flying on the position by eight o'clock in the morning. " In'a lew minutes we pursued the enemy to tie front, and by order of the Commander in Chief, passed three mountains, till we reached the great mountain of La Rutin. We then menaced the ene my's left, while our right attacked that formidable position. Having refreshed my troops, I received orders to attack the enemy's flank. The column was immediately put in motion for this object, which was carried into effect with spirit, as far as the broken craggy mountain would permit ; and the attack was sustained till I was ordered to tall back and occupy the first position we had carried in the morning, which we realized by eleven o'clock at night, 44 I have no language to do justice to the valour and discipline of the troops under my commend, in their charge upon the enemy's entrenchment's. and strong positions with the bayonet. No o oeps in Use world could have done this better, or with more spirit and enthusiasm. Your Excellency will permit me particularly to recommend Major Guiteree, , Com mandant of the Regiment of Seville; Leutenants of Grenadiers and Lieutenant of infantry Don Miguel and Don Domingo de, Alsuga, and Dun Pedro Montes, who conducted themselves with a military courage, that makes them worthy of notice. 1 also recommend to yoUr Excellency's attention the conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Escuria, of the Stiff, who accompanied me and the Major of the Regiment of Pravia, Don F. Cabura. This Officer lento usted to command the Sharp Shooters, and he was severely wounded l -on a former occasion I commanded this Offi cer,brave Offi cer, when he met with equal misfortune. " I must here acknowledge the nandsome manner with which Brigadier-General Alsage, Colonel ,of the Regiment of Seville, gave me his Regiment,' with which I have had the honour to execute the ordert; received. I requested that Regiment in particular, becaase it bears the name, and has in its colours the arms of the City of Seville. , t I cannot conclude this Report without Waning under your consideration Lieutenant-Colonel Efirkes who, without appointment in this army, assisted rue in this affair, and also Captain Robert S:eele, of Ge neral Doyle's Military Deposito, who accompaniol me during the whole of the action ; he executed his duties of Aide-de-Camp much to my satisfaction, keeping up a communication with the English column who beat the enemy on my left. I beg you may carry my recommendation of these Officers before the Commander-in-Chief, for his consideration, that their merit may not be forgotten. " GOD preserve your Excellency many yeah.
