The corps of the enemy engaged on II this occasion we , e Lattriston's and Victor's, or, as some supposed. Sebastiani's. The amount of the former was calculated at 14,000 men, anti that of the latter at 20,000. The enemy is said to have been" ieti, itely superior in number. particularly on the side of ( - lien. d'Yorck. His Lass, however, is estimated at 3,000 men killed and wounded, 7 pieces of cannon, and ?,000 prisoners tak' n, among whom are the Gruen.' of Division Pegnerie, and the Generals of Brigade Martelli, Beletier. and St Andreas." Generals Barclay and D'Vore k then retired to the main position.] Next !bllows a narrative ()ills evt nts of the /oth of May. "The engagement on that day "it is observed. " must have cost the enemy 6,000 men, as he was obliged to force the defile of the Spree under the tire of our cannon and small arms." We have next la journal of the battle of the elst of May, the prin cipal details of which have already been communicated. The fol lowing are assianed as the reasons for retreat at the conclusion of the action :—" To expose all to the hazards of a single day, would have been to play the game of Napoleon; to preserve our forces to reap advantages from A war, the more difficult to the enemy as it is pro longed, is that of the Allies. We commenced a retreat. We made it in full day-light. tinder the eyes of the enemy, at seven in the evening, as on a letrade, without his beim: able to lean possession of a single trophy ; whilst the combined artily had taken from him in these three memorable days, by the valour and constancy of the tritons, 1.1 pieces of cania:l, ;awl prisoners, anealgst whom are four Generals, and many Offir•rts ofali.tinetion. The least cx aggerated aeeolllit% state the loss of the French at 14,000 men, and that of Allies does not exceed OM."
