I int' pin ON!' oft two gmit.perionages, the 'whole Corm cries not for war ; but when the war [hall have pre rented itfelf with all its horrors, every body will en deairour to etcufe themfelves from the guilt of it ; and for having drawn the thunder bolt on the peace ful provinces of the Nntth. Then, as a natural con qnence of the inconfifiencies of courtiers, we (hall fee the authors of the war, n t only blaming it as an JR of thadnefs, molting themfelves from the charge of hiring provoked it, and laying that they wilted it, indeed, but at another time ; hut we -will alfo fee them throwing the blame upon the Kiag, an bonen man, whom they have made the dupe of their in trigues and artificer. The following ate the difpofitions of the French atmy. It is to march by three routes. The right, conspoitd of the corps of Martinis Soak and Ney, and of a divifion of Bavarians, marches from- Am. berg and Nuremburgh, is to unite at Bayreuth, and from thence advance upon Hoff. where it will arrive on the 9th, The centre, compofed of the Referee of the Grand Doke of Berg, of the corps of the Mar- SW Prince of Ponte Corm, and of Marfhal Daeoull, and the Imperial Guards, marches by Bamberg to Cennach„ will arrive on the Bth at Saalburgh, and from 'thence will advance by Saalburgh and &Melte Upon Gera. The left, compofed of the corps of Neighs!' Limes and Augereau, is to advance from Schweinfurtb tipOtt Coburg, Graliental and Saalfeld. ShCbND btILLEVN OP THE GRAND ARMY. • Aurae, OR. ts, alloto The Emperor left Bamberg the Bth of oElober;at three o'clock in the morning. and arrived at Cronach by nine. His Majelly croffed the foreif of FrilaCn• Ma at day-break, on the 9th, and arrived at Zherf dorff, and from thence he repaired to fiehleitz, where he was rprefent at the firft battle of the campaign. He returned to Eherfdorff, where he Sept, and let out again on the loth for Schleitz, and arrived ,on the t stir at Auma, where he flept, after having paired the day at Gera. The head quarters are now removing to Gera. All the orders of the Emperor have been perfeetly well executed. Martha) Soult advanced to Bayreuth on the 7th, and prefrued himfelf before Hoff on the 9th, car. tied away all the magazines of the enemy, made Averal prifaners, and advanced upon Plaucnott the Loth. Martha Ney followed his motion., at the dillance of half a day's march. On the Bth the Grand Duke of Berg advanced 'With the light Cavalry from Cronach to Saalburgb, having alfo with him the 25th regiment of Light rnfantry. A Pruffian regiment wilted to defend the paGge of the Seal ; after a cannonade of half an hour. being threatened with being turned, it aban. (toned it. pofition on the &al. On the 9111 the Grand Doke of Berg advanced upon Schleitz : —a PrufGan General was there with zo,ooo men. The Emper , r arrived there at noon, I and ordered the Marflisl Prince of Foote Corvo, to attack and carry the village, as he willed to parefs bimtelf of it before the end of the day. The Maraud made his difpofitions, put himfelf at the head of the columns, the village was carried, and the enemy Foe Recd. If it it.d not been for the night, the skate* part of this divifion would have been taken. Gene. ral Watti-r, with the fourth regiment of Halters, and the fifth regiment of Chailreurs, made a fine charge of Cavalry againfl the Pruffian regiments.— Four companies of the 37th Light Infantry, being in the plain, were charged by fo ne Pruffian huffars, but stick loon law how the French Infantry receives the Proffian Cavalry. Two hundred of the Pruffian Cs• *airy foldiers remained upon the field of battle. Ge neral M3ifons commanded the Light Infantry. A ' Colonel of the enemy was killed, two pieces of can• non were taken, 300 prifoncta were made, and 400 killed. Our loft in men has been very (mall. The Prugian Infantry threw down their arms, and fled terrified before the French bayonets. The Grand Duke of Berg was in the midtl of the charges which were made, (word in hand. On the loth the Prince of Ponte Corvo transferred his head quarters to Auma. On the 1' th the Grand Duke of Berg arrived at Gera. The General of Brigade Lafalle, of the Cavalry of Referee, routed the there of the enemy's baggage. Five hundred caiffons and baggage waggons were taken by the French huffars. Our Light Cavalry is covered with glory. Pontoon. and many other important articles compofed part of this convoy. The left had equal Imes. Martha) Lannes en tered Coburg the Bth, and advanced on the 9th to Graffanthal. On the loth he attacked at Saalfeld the advanced guard of Prince Hohenlohe, which wail commanded by Prince Louis of Profile, one of the champions of the war. The cannonade only laked two hours : the half of General Suchet's divifion oat all that charged. The Pruflian cavalry has been broken by the 9th and soth regiments of hufrars:H The PrufGati infantry has not been able to pule/A I any order in their retreat ; part of them have bee; driven into a morals, and part of them difperfed in the woods. We have made woo priloners, 600 ter attained nn the field of battle : 30 pieces of caution have been taken by our army. ••• • Sting his people routed in this manner, Prim* Louis of Ptuffia, like a brave and loyal foldier, en gaged hand to hand with a Marerbal de Lair of the Both regiment of Huffars. .• Yield, Colonel," fa the Hear, •' or you are dead." The Prince in fwered by a firoke of his &bre: the Marechal de LITil returned it with the point of his (word, and the Prince fell dead. If the left moments of his life have been thofe of a bad citizen, his death was however glorious, and worthy of regret. He died as every good fol diet would with to die. Two of his Aids de Camp base been Wed at his fide. Letters from Berlin weri found upon him, which thew that the plan of the enemy was to attack immediately, and that the war-party, at the head of which was the young Prince and the Qeen, always feared that thepacific difpofition of the King, sad his love for his tubjeass might induct him to adopt more moderate meatures, and difeppoint their cruel hopes. It may be laid that one of the firft firokes of the war killed one of its au. shots. Neither Drefden nor Berlin are covered by any army. Turned on the left, and taken at the moment that it was employed in forming the moll hazardous combinations, the Pruffian army finds itfelf, at its very debut, in a fituation fufficiently critical. It oc. - copies Eifenach, Gotha, Er fart, anti %inter. The French army occupies Saalfeld and Gets, and inatchesitspon Members and JUL hying parties I • • of the French army ;misdate the plain of Leipzick. All the intercepted 'letters reprefent the Council of the Ring as torn by different ripinioes, always delibe rating and never agreeing. Uncertainty, alarm. And terror appear to have already rucceeded toarrogance, thoughtleffners, and macinefs. Yellerday, the !sal, in palling at Gera before the 27rh Regiment of Light Infarrry, the Emperor de• fired the Colonel to ezprers his fati,faition to that re giment for their good conduit. In all there battles we have no Officer of diftinetion to regret. The highelt in rank is Captain Campnbaffo, of the ayth regiment of Light Infantry, a brave and loyal Officer. Our Ids bat not amounted to .to killed and 6o wounded. THIRD BULLETIN. Gem, Odt. ti. 3806.
