Extract qj a Letter .frown Genera! the Boron Tettenbarn to Major Kentzinger, dated Hamburg*, April 4. 1813. I hasten to announce to you the signal victory which our troops have gained, upon the 24 of April, over the corps of General Morand, who had possessed himself of the town of Luneherg. Gelled Morand, with 3,500 men, had marched from Tostedt to Luneberg. My Cossacks followed his movements ; and I gave infor mation of them to General Doruberg, who, in conjunction with General Tschernichett's corps, had passed the Elbe at ',envie!). The two Generals advanced by forced marches to Luneberg, and arrived there just as my Cossacks were engaged with the enemy. The gates were forced with the bayonet; and a sanguinary conflict ensued in the streets of the town. The victory was soon decided in our favour ; all who were not killed or already made prisoner i laid down their arms. Not a single person escaped of the whole corps. Three pair of colours, and 12 ',vices of cannon, fell into our hands. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, APRIL V 3, 1813.
