On the 20th, a considerable corps advanced before Toeplitz, and directed its march upon the position which Marshal St. Cur. occupied, with a part of his cores d'artnee w ne# the defile of Hillendorf. Se The enusny there . chewed a great superiority of faros. A division belonging to Marshal St. Cyr retired in the night between the 22d and 23d, under_ the walla of Dresden, after having disputed the ground foot by foot with the enemy. During this time strong enemy's columns approached that capital by different roads. ." On the 23d some corps took a position upon the heights of Lockwitz. Other columns advanced from diferent sides. It was doubted whether the enemy 'would make any attempt against Dresden, disorder in his movetneht was visibly perceived by his slim ness and hesitatiOn. a It was on- the 24th expected to be observed that the enemy extencted his left wing to Platen. Few 'troops were seen upon the heights, because they were in die reverse on the other side. During the night all Was "perfectly tranquil. " On the 25th, towards the evening, extended lines were seen, it was from that supposed the enemy must be extremely strong, and that he intended to attempt some important enterprise. 60. The French on their side prepared to warmly receive thy, enemy. The interior part of the fortifi cations of the city, which had not been demolished, were completely re established. Whitever was not made firm by garden walls was palisaded. All the buildings, the occupation of which appeared advan tageous tor the defence of the city, were occupied and turni:lozd with loop-holes; considerable works stx.tended in the country roural the suburbs to the distance of 1000 toises. They consisted of redoubts which mutually defended each other, which had a Commandant and a uskicient garrison to waintain them. 6' On the morning of the 26th, the enemy was seen to descend into the plain; his lines appeared on every poi At. a The French quickly called in their advanced corps to make them tzke the posts assigned them be hind the redoubts. At nine in the morning the Em peror Napoleon Arrived with all his guards. His arrival assured all minds it was the signal of victory. The inhabitant; of Dresden hastened to meet him, for they regarded him as their liberator. The Empe. For immediately inade his dispositions. '~ FRONTIERS OF BAVARIA, SEPTEMBER S. Recent intelligence assures us, that the Bavarian army has entered Upper Austria, and is marching upon Lintz, whilst the Army of Italy is penetrat►ng into Austrian Carinthia, and approaching the fron tiers of Myna. Accounts from the Bavarian and Italian Tyrol continue to be very satisfactOry. " At three O'clock the enemy began the attack by unmasking a battery of 40 pieces of cannon, which he had erected the preceding night in the great gar. 'der. To spread terror and disorder, the enemy for an hone and a halt made howitzers play upon the city, which however produced hut little effect. Only - some houses were damaged arid not rue bernt. At half.past three they had commenced deploying ac cording to the Emperor's dispoe:tions: and at six the enemy was repulsed at every point where he had at tacked. All the line which he occupied as well as the vast extent of the great garden were filled with his dead. The enemy's :limy which surrounded Dresden is estimated at 150,0u0 men. • 4 4 On the 27th, 'at four, a. es. the French troops were ell at their posts. The Duke of Belluno and Ragusa's corps, as well as General Latour Mau bourg's corps of cavalry, which had passed the bridge in the greatest order, took the position which had REPORTED DEFEAT OP THE FRENCH been asssigned them round the town.

What a lesson !—in a single day Detashtiients ttf the train, and the remains of columns, continue to be taken in the mountains. The unhappy prisoner* are without clothing. They sink under want aad fatigue. 44 The Austrian army left its frontiers before its organization was finished, and before its equipment and clothing were complete. A delay of six months, and the employing in equipping it some millions, which Austria had not at her disposal, were requisite for making it act, and opening with some success a campaign such as that she had commenced. • 66 The (mall number of old soldiers who are in the army is considered as astonishing. Its greater part' consists of young men of 18 years and under. In a single day it has lost a third part of the men of which l it was composed. It is now endeavouring to regain 'Bohemia by cross roads, where it necessarily must lose part of its maierigh There are few examples of a misfortune of this kind having fallen upon a new army, animated, as it appears, by the enthusiasm of patriotism and which had all the advantages of acting offensively or defensively on its side. The events round Dresden can only be compared to those of Ulm. A storm of rain which did not cease falling during the 27th, rendering this comparison still more striking. 4 6 The Emperor was on the 19th in Bohemia tierlintl Gabel, his advanced post bad advanced to Bohemish Lissa, near Prague. 66 On the 21st he beat the Russian army in Silesia, and on the 26th appeared before Dresden, where be also beat the grand Austrian army, Wittgenstein's Russian corps,. and Xleist's Prussian corps. 64 Those armies which calculated upon certain vic tory, fled in disorder and sought their salvation be yond the mountains from whence they had debauched with so much confidence. 4 4 We are assured the Emperor of Austria had ar rived at Pirna. It is added, that during the battle, he returned to Toeptitz. The Emperor Alexander did not quit the army. It even appears-that he com manded in person agreeably to the instructions /women who are traitor* to their country. 44 He supped on the night of the 25th, upon . the heights of Roekuita, where be bad at his table Prince Schwartzenberg, Commander-in .Chief of the Au strian Army; the Ex-General Francois Moreau, and General Langenau, who deserted the Saxon service. General Moreau had returned from the interior of America, in the hope of directing a mortal blow against the glory (lithe French armies, although it was to those armies be Was indebted for the fleeting repo. cation lie formerly enjoyed.

The following are some of the accounts brought by the Mail of this morning :. 61 ( AT, SEPTEMBER 17.

If any thing certain reaches me, will send an express. is P.S. Have just seen a letter from Deal, stating the above." ANOTHER LETTER-°^- DATE. " DEAL, SEPTEMBER 17. es There are reports, said to be brought by one of our cruisers, of a general engagement, in which it is said that the French, concentrating their forces, cut through the centre of the Allies with great slaughter, and that the Allies afterwards . rallied close behind them, and defeated them with the loss of 50,000 prisoners. * A Cutter has• been Stilt to the Admiral in the Downs by the JASON, off Flushing, with intelligence BONAPARTE has. been defeated near Dresden, on the 4th, Sth, and 6th, with the loss of 70,000 men, and that he was fast retreating. Report adds, thatNa rslLlON was killed. I can learn no other particulars." To the above reports, however gratifying, we have to add, that no credit is paid to them at the Admi ralty or any. ether of the Public Offices. The French Papers to the 14th contain the Saxon account of the battle of Dresden, as published in the Leipsic Gazette. A general description is given of the repulse of the Allied Army, and the consequences 4i that event are magnified as in BONAPARTE'S Bul letin, though in a less detailed manner. Sir 'NOMA/ GRAHAM and Generals ALrzl and Snore, are said to be coming home. The return of the Hero of Barrosa to his native clime is certain, and we believe that the effects of his recent wound would have some time ago induced this determination, but for the great and important operations against St. Sebastian's, which had been entrusted to his charge. The issue has, indeed, immortalized his military name, and long may health aad its zest to his enjoy ment of ethos the" dizahaie!—Sir Joists Hoes quits the luxurious command of Ireland to act in the glorious character of Second to Lord Witutatcrroe.

SOUTHEY, POET Lauaitar.—The Laurel is at length destined, unexpectedly, to circle the brows of, this Gentleman, where it will look almost like a civic crown. The Patriot and the Poet (two venerable names, which we should wish never to see disunited) is said to owe his intended elevation to the intercession. of Mr. CHOKER, to whom, it will be recollected, he bits dedicated his Life of Lord NELSON, with an ap propriate motto in the title-page, from the poem of " Ulm and Trafalgar." Mr. CHOKER having applied to the REGENT in favour of his friend, the Prince is understood to have given his ready assent, observing, that Mr. SOUTHEY'S efforts in the Spanish cause alone, rendered him highly worthy of the situation. As Mr, Cebu', however, was taking his leave, he was met by Lord LIVERPOOL and the Marquis of HERTFORD, the latter of whom, as Ch4mberlain, had, it seems, P 144 as offer of 'the place to Mr. WALT FR SCOTT, who bad signified his acceptance of it. Some little difficulty n.iturally arose on the occasion ; but it was agreed that the two Poets should settle the point of peecedence between themselves. A friendly alterca tion, unlike that of the Shepherds in Virgil, now took 1 plat between Mr. SCOTT and Mr. SOUTHEY, each waiving his own pretensions, and giving the palm of vinery to the other. But it was finally determined, that as Mr SCOTT, though he would not allow himself to be the greatest, was at least the richest poet of the two, Mr. SOUTHEY, who had most need of this post of honour and of profit, should have it.—So ends this important affair. a t he Emerald Irk," a Poem; with Notes Historical and Biographical, by CHARLIS PHILLIPS, Esq.
