THE PRUSSIANS AND FRENCH. Honilities, as it has been before dated, began on the 9th inflant ; but no affair of importance took place until the ioth, when a very warm anion was fought at Saalfeld. Prince Lours FkaDIXAIID, who commanded an advanced corps of the left wing of the Prnffian army, was netioned at that town to defend the /mirage of the Saat. His orders, it is raid, were to maintain his petition to the lall caucus*, fur the purpofe of affording the Prince of Hon tos,no e an opportunity of executing a bold movement which he had planned againtl the sight wing of the enemy.— Mince Louts bravely performed his duty, defeAing the bridge during the greaser part of the day againil a force three timts more numerous than h:s own; he had only Goo ,- ) men under his command, and the French were eflimatcd at 20,000. In the enJ, how ever, the enemy prevailed. Prince Lows was killed, the pail - Ages of the Saul forced, and Are Pruffians compelled to retreat, sriih !hc Infs of fevers' men, and forme cannon. Tittle are the moil auth , ntic particulars which we have been Able to extraa from the Mail refpefling the refaltof this JO affair, which was produced by an attuppt or gte Frtneh to turn Flit tight wing t;i the Pillions, eitd.dairoy the coa t fiderable magisineS‘which they had (mated at Natant burgh. The confequencie of the advantage gained by the menu on the toth, was that the PrufGan left fell back on the Main army. The Pruffians then appear to have occupied a line extending from beyond Er furt, on the right, towards Weimar on the left. The Frerich, of whore pofitions, however, little pofitive is known, appear to have advanced in force from Hof, towards Saalfield, their right however firetching into Saeony. Indeed open the right of the French the country appears to have been left expoftd to dick incurfions, and tome marauders aCtually had the boldnefs to penetrate to Leipfick, and there etaacd a ronfiderable contribution. In fan, feveral fkireniffies. comparatively of little importance. kern to have taken place from the loth to the 13th. T. ron the latter day a very important anion took place, in which the PTIALITIS were deci ledly vinorious. It was the corps of Prince HOH 'm ums which had been reinforced that was again en gaged, and the corps of the enemy with which he was engaged was that of Martha,. Sounr. The French loft near 6,ocx, killed, and 14,0e0 prifoners. In fad, Sounv's corps is Paid to have been nearly annihilated. The Pruffians got in their rear, and completely cut off their retreat s and moll sit them were obliged to lay down their arms. The joyful intelligence reached Berlin on the 15th, and by order of the grate was officially procLimed. The details, however, had not arrived. We are lorry to be obliged to add that the dif patches received by Government from Lord Moe. PITH, afford too much reafon to fear that, notwith (landing the aufvicious affair ef the 13th, a fubfequent *Won was fought on the following day, the 14th, which proved ditallrous to the Pruflians. What is molk difirelTing,verhaps, is, that the Duke of BRUNS. oleo was feverely wounded, and ha, been obliged to be removed to Magdcburgh. The Ids of In dit:inguifh ed a Commander, at a moment fo ethical, cannot be too much deplored. This battle is reported to have been fought not far from Weimar. The Pruffians fought, as indeed they have done upon every occa- Bon, with the moll diltinguithed valour. The KING dirplayed the tttmoft heraifm, and had two honks killed under him. The unfortunate accident which deprived the army of the prefence of the Duke of BIUNIWICI mu* have contributed to the difaller which in the event of the day befel them. Their loft was eonfiderable. Very few details of this action have yet arrived.— We do not underlaid, however, that though the re fult of the day was advca to the PrufGans, that they were routed, or that the affair was decifive. We confider the loft of the Duke of Bau 14 swice the chief I.sfss though we troll his place will be fupplied. An other action was expeacd, which would probably be decifive, and we mull fervently hope that the Prof flans will have retrieved the reverie they experieseed on the 14th. We underhand that two EnglA Meffengers,tdefirs. \aGSTatr and Mir.r.sa, have been made prifoners by the French, a circumaance which is eafily account ed for by the enemy's light parties penetrating by the left of the Pruffians, even into the rear, and acciden tally, therefore, cutting off their communications. It is hated in the Berlin newipapers, that 60,000 Ruffians have affually arrived in the Pruffian terti wrier. We with they had joined the army, but hill we hope they will arrive in time to lend important :alliance, now fo much wanted. lithe Prufflan main army fhould be forced to retreat, they will fall back upon their fupplies and reinforcements. Could they make a well condufted retreat, keeping the enemy at bay till the Ruffians can join, the fortune of the war might be retrieved. Nothing can exceed the devotion of the Pruffian troops, and of the people throughout the Prufhan dominions. The King mull now be con vinced that every thing is at Rake in the prefent con tell, and we truth he will have courage to bear up even againh reverie. It has been the chara!ler of the Houle of Brandenburgh to do fo. One battle ought not to decide the fate of a Monarchy, which, in fpite of fo many defeats, rofe to fplendour and greatnefs. General CRAWIIVRD arrived on Saturday at PAL mouth, to take the command of the Expedition force time waiting there, and fuppofed to be bound for Snitch America and the Cape. Upon hi. arrival the wh .le convoy prepared for an immediate dart, and were lying at finglc anchur when our ascounts came away. u~ lOU. uy eed fhal red, has eta. THE EVENING STAR.
