I directed General Von Boratell, and likewit4e General Von Billow, s% ho had so early as the 4th %pH+, arrioed at Ziesar, to push as far forward as the enemy would permit : but that they should on the sth, when they would be informed by a cann , :nade of my having coin nenced an attack, fall on the enemy with the greate-t im :otiosity. "On the sth in the morning, Lieott.-General Von Yo k's corps advanced to Leitzkau, and that of Lient.nant-General Von Berg to Ladebniz. " Lieutenant General Von Borstell had advanced towards Muckern, and Lieutewint-Ge,oer4l Von Billow to Hobenziatz At two o'clock in the afternoon. Lient.-Gen. Von York was obliged to send a van-guard towards Gotumern, and Lient.-General Von Berg to do the same to this place. The first van-guard came up with the enemy near Danigkow, 41111 after a brisk cannonade, obliged them to quit that place, with a ronsidelahle loss, whereupon I caused the corps of Lieut.-General . Von York, and that of Lient.-General Von Berg to follow the van-guard which were already engaged, and make a vigorous attack on the enemy. " Generals Von Borstell and Billow did the same on their side, tit? first advancing to Zehdenick, and the latter to Vehlitz, which places were in the enemy's possession, but who was dislodged from thence by the valour of our troops. " The resistance of the enemy, who had the advantage of the ground, was every where obstinate, but nevertheless forced at all points to yield to the bravery of our troops, and it was only by the darkness comic gon that an end was pat to the engagement, and prevented us from following up this glorious victory. I cannot sufficiently express to. your Excellency my approbation of the Im perial Russian and Royal Prussian troops. Ihe Lithuanian 'regi ment of dragoons, and two squadrons of the body regiment of hussars cut an enemy's regiment of cavalry to pieces, or made prisoners or dispersed it. The same tate attended a lid regiment of the enemy's cavalry, by the Grodnow hussars. The tirailleurs of the brave Pomeranian battallion of grenadiers took a field-piece, with horses, from the enemy, and in the whole six powder waggons were taken, and we elude 17 officers and 00 privates prisoners. The General of Divisieu Greuier, and General Grandly, were wounded. The TUESDAY'S LORDON GAZETTE. prp.RTMENT. DOWNING STREET, APRIL 19. A Dispatch, of which the following; is an extract, has been re ceive I at this Office, addressed to Earl Bathurst by Lie'tt. General sir John llnfray, dated bead-quarters, Castalla, March : 0 ,3, 1813 : I have the honour to enclose extracts of two disoatelies ad dressed to his Excellency the Marquis of Wellington. by which your . lit rdship will bee fully apprised of the present filtration of Mi.& as and of the different trilling. affairs which we have had with the enemy." Extract of R Letter from Lieutenant-Oeneral Sir 3. Murray to Lord Wellington, dated Alicante, March 10, 1813. I had the honour. in my letter of the 26th ultimo, to acquaint your Lordship taat I had taken the command of the division of the Alediterraisean army serving on the eastern coast of Spain. Since my letter of the 16th February, nothing of importance has occurred. On the 3d instant, when reconnoitring the position of Alcoy, it became necessary to drive in the advanced pots. The enemy lost in the action, as have been informed, one officer killed, and about twenty men killed and wounded. The possession of Alcoy appeared to me of importance : and hav ing Lad a very accnrate view of tilt'. position, I thought it possible, in carrying the place, to cut off the corps stationed there. With this intention, on the 6th instant. I directed the march of a part of the army on Alcoy,. and attacked that post on the morning of the 7th; amt by the nnfortimate delay of the column which was destined to cut off his retreat, the enemy effected his escape; had this co. limn arrived a quarter of an hour before, not a man could have got off. The advanced guard of the column destined to attack the enemy in front, drove him about six or seven miles, when I found the soldiers so much fatigued, that even had I wished, I could have pressed them no flirtlitr. The counts y over which the enemy retired was extremely favourable for him, and cerLialy might hare been much better defended. He WO on this account enabled to dispose of his killed and wounded, a,:d I cannot state his loss. That on the part of the allied army is inconsiderable. I have much satisfaction in acquaint ing your Lord.hip, that trifling as these affairs have proved, they are sufficient to eve me great confidence in the troops which -were engaged ; and it is with pectdiar pleasure t have noticed the state of Major-General Whi ttingham's division of the Spanish army. _Extract of a-Letter from Lient..Genersl - r.f, Muter to General the Marquis of Wellington, dated .
