The battle may have cot us six or seven thou slin d Then. The enemy must have suffered more ; in one charge of Russian cavalry Against infantty and a batterp great number of prisoners wag takeri l though the gunr were not brought off. I have already detailed to your Lordship the ge teral difficulty in which the Allied Army was placed by the large farce opposed to them ) and the opt. aeon that Bonaparte would pass 4 considerabl,bocly of troops across the Elbe at lconigatein and Perna to possess himself of the passes in Or rear. The orders for retiring, to the Allied Army, - were issaed on the evening of the 28th, and the artily is now in march in different columns. It is impossible not to lament that so fine and so numerous an army, perfectly entire in.all its parts, should be under the necessity, having once advanced, Pf making a retrograde step, as miscalculations may be made on the event, and the enemy may suppose fie has gained an advantage ; I can only pledge my self to your Lordship, that the army is as eager as. ever to meet the enemy, and the same •determined virit exists, though a partial change of operations nay be deemed necessary. The enemy's force was not diminished ;:ak the side of Lusatia up to the 23d, for Iris efforts on the Elbe ; m he attacked General Blucher again in great force on that day, wito retired upon Inter. On the 24th, however, he advanced again, the enemy having fallen back, v hich would indicate hi% bringing mare forces into Bohemia.

Mx Loan—Since my dispatch of yesterday's dates ; I have to acquaint your Lordship that a very brilli- 1 ant action has taken place this day on the road front Toplitz towards Peterswalde, about two German , miles from the former place. It appears that the Russian column under Count Ostermanu which was to retire by the pass of Osterswalde, found the ene. my, wholad actually crossed the Elbe at Pirita and had possession of the pass in the moue. tains, and they-were tbliged most gallantly to force their way. through With_the bayonet- then re inained in action with the enemy till late in the even_ ing ; and having been reinforced by the reserves of the Russian parch, cavalry and infantry ;the former under his Imperial Highness the Grand 'hike Con. stantine, who Wele sent rapidly to their suppoi t.— This body of troops, consisting of about WOO inert held in cheek, Juting the day, two corps and one di' vision of the French Army, under Generals Van_ ilanune and )3ertrand, amounting at least to thirty thousand men.. I should do his Imperial Majesty's Guards injustice if I attempted to describe the admi. ratiou I felt at their valour and signal bravery.. The light cavalry of the guard, consisting of the Polonese and Dragoen Regiments, charged columns olinfan try in the highest style. General Diebzetsch, an officer of great merit, particularly distinguished him. self ;—Ptince qtlitzin in like manner. He was wounded in the attack.' Count Ostermann, towards the close of the slay, had his arm . carried pe by a cannon shot the General commanding the Cuiras siers of St. George was also wounded. The importance of the bravery displayed by-these troops, is Highly augmented when it is considered, that had they not held their ground, the columns of the army and artillery retiring by Altenberg, which were delayed by the bad roads, must have been greatly 'endangered. His Prussian Majesty was at Toplitz when the enemy made theit rapid advasce by Peterswalde, and made the most able dispositions to reinforce Count Osterniann, •and by his - coolness and personal exer. • Cons, preserved rirder and regularity, which even the momentary idea of the enemy's getting in their rear .is apt to endanger. The admirable conduct of this Sovereign on all occasions is the theme of universal praise. The corps of Count Osterman:: !bit three thousand men - in this day's action kw: diNeornbat. . The French loss may be Averaged at double. Ge neral Vandamrue's corps suffered immensely. The cavalry of the Russian guard took two standards and three or four hundred prisoners. The enemy followed our rear-guard during the day, on the Dippoldewald road, and they met with a considerable check from the rear guard, coinmanded : , by the Austrian General Hardegg. I tope your Lordship will excuse the Lunn with *hick this is written, and will make allowances, at the period and continued movements and operations prevent muchaccurdcy.—l have the honour to be, Ice.

The. attack being determined upon, the following disposition of the troops, destined for that purpose, was immediately made. Six thousand Rnssian gre nadiers, two thousand infantry, and four thousand cavalry. under the immediate orders of General Milo. radovitch, together with twelve thousand Austiians, under Count' Colored° and General tianchi...caln• menced the action the remainder of the troopVcol lected for this enterprise b‘ing formed in columns of reserve upon the adjacent plain. The village of Kblm is situated at the bottom of a :loge of mountains ‘t hich forms an alMost impreg. ! sable barrier between SasOny and Bohemia; from this Pant branches off wvo distinct ranges of moun t tain, east and vest; lets% een these ranges the ground is generally fht, affording, however, in sonic places, good defensible positions. Upon this grOund,imme. diately fronting:the village of 'Kuhn, to enemy col ! lected a strong force of infantry, with a gieat portion of artillery ; a galling fire was kept Up incessantly from fois point upon the Russians, under General Miloradovitch. Such - was the strength of the. adjacent heights Kulm, and so ably had the enemy disposed of their force for its defence', that it was judged tore expe dient to make the principal attack by the right t in consequence of whiCh, the Austrian infantry were di. rested to move along the high ground upon the right, while the Iturian guards and infantry were to com mence their attack upon the left, so soon as the Aus• trians were sufficiently advanced. While these move ments were executing, the corps of GenerAl Kleist, which had not been disengaged from the mountains, appeared in the enemy's tear, descending the roadhy which the enemy were to retire in case of need. Pa all sides the attack commenced in the most vigorous and derisive manner: The enemy's left were turned, by the distinguished bravery and good conduct of the.' Austrians under Count Colored°, the cavalry charg ing repeatedly, while upon the other flank General Miloradovitch, with the hussars of the guards and grenadiers, forced every point which the enemy iu vain attempted to defend. Upon this point above forty pieces of artillery and sixty tumbrils, much bag. gage, and the whole equipage of General Vandamme, fell into the hands of the ltussimis. Completely beaten in fronttavall points, and intercepted in their rear by General Kleist, nothing was left for the enemy but a desperate and precipitate retreat. _ _ The route now becamegeneral, the enemy throing ' dots n their anus in every direction, and ;easing even, to resist, abandoning guns and standards, to seek.for shelter in the woods; • • The fruits of this victory are considerable.
