Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been received by Viscount Castlereagh, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of Stac for Foreign Affairs, Flom Lieut.-Gem the Hon: Sir C. Slew art, K B. His Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pie. nipotentiary to the King of Prussia, dated the 27th, 29th, Both, and 31st of August : Head-quartets of His Majesty the King of Prussia, Zehista, Aug. 26, 181:3. My LonD,--Mry last Dispatches will have acquainted your Lord ship of the determination of the Allied Armies to debouche from Bohemia, by the several passes into Saxony, and enter on immediate ottensive operations in flank and rear of the enemy it he still tabled his forward positions in Lusatia, and on the right bank of the Elbe. While the main Russian army under General Barclay de 'folly, including the corps of Witgenstein and Mdaratiovitek and thelirussian corps of General Kleist, together with the whole of the Austrian army, were to act offensively from Bohemia, miner the chief command of Prince Schwartzeuberg, General Blucher's corps d'armee, composed of a division of PI ns iai s under Lieut.-Gen, d'Yorck, and Gen. Sachen's and Gen. Langeron ' s Russian divisions, were to move from Silesia on Lusatia, an threaten the enemy its front. Gen. Blucher was to avoid engaging in any general action, especially against superior numbers. In conformity with these intentions, Gen. Blucher advanced in three columns on the 20th from Leignitz, Goldberg. and Jailer, on Buntzlau and Lowenberg ; Gen. Sachen's corps moved on the right on Buntzlau, and Gen. d'Yorck on the centre, and Gen. Langeron's on the left. The enemy aban doned Buntzlan, destroyed their works, and blew up a magazine of powder there ; and General Blucher's force advanced to the Bober, where they were attacked on the 21st by the enemy, who moved in great force on Buntzlau, Lowenberg, and Latin, anti a very serious affair took place. his reported that Bnonaparte commanded in person, and that he presented one hundred and ten thousand men to General Blucher. The allied troops contested the ground with great bravery ;. but as Gen. Blucher had received orders to avoid a general engagement, he wiiltdrew in the best order to Haynan, Pilgramsdort, Hirshberg, and behind the Katz bad' ; where his troops were at the date of the last accounts. The loss of General. Blucher in this affair is reported to be near two thousand men : he took, however, several prisoners. The enemy stuttered considerably. The grand armies on the side of Bohemia commenced passing the frontiers on the 20th and 2.lst Count Witgelisteill's au tt Geaeral Kliest's columns, by the passes of Peterswalde ; the Austrians by Komotaw. Opt the 22d, Count Witgenstein's corps fell in with the enemy, and had a very considerable encounter with them near Bug hishabel and Zehista. The enemy met the allies on the frontiers, and have been lwaten back titan all their positions, towards Dresden, although they en eleavoneed, unsuecessfulty, to defend every inch of ground. The different columnsot the allied armies wore to ticbouche front the mountains and passes, at such concerted periods as would pro bohly have operated fatally upon the enemy, if the arrangenwot, as planned, had been compktety carried into effect ; but time eager ness of the troops to push on and engage, brought the right corps into action on the morning of the :2'2d. The French were emus mantled by Gen. Gouvion St. tr (who is newly arrived. and come (up with the army from Wurtztturg), and their force consisted of u pwards of 15pi10 mei); they were supported by tkeir troops livid I REGISTER . ..pnim...o4.•••••= J.
