Stir---This army affccled its march upon Mery yesterday. The tant it was already occupied by Goneral (7touit NVittgenstein, who bad reconnoitred the tnemy to be in some Circe oppo•ite to biro between Charres and Merigoy. On Field-Mar-hal !Wieners arrival, k * Ol pS was withdrawn, and ("ally this morning took the. direction Chaudrigny. .The posts he left in front of the town, had sc-arcely been relieved by this dr:lly at ahont eight o'clock in the moininir, before the enemy commenced an attack. It lint hying the itc object to carry on any operation on the left Wilk of the river, ; arrao.ltnents were instantly made for Imrni!ig the bold. e over the Seine. that di, id,s the town in two parts. and for di rending that ora . this side of the giver. Field-Nlaishal Blucher was hinvell soperin tending the dispositions for this effect, when it was ob;et ved that the to.vil, w!,,•ther fool) acei , lent or desi-0, was on tire in three places. Tile wind blew vi....!entiv, and it became impossible to get the !Limes The project therefore of deli ntling the town by any con,iderable body of infrintry cool" not he executed. A few I tirailleurs were all that coulti be emplov 'flue enemy, who had 1)0 obstacle on his side the river, advanced rapidly. The bridge was set tire to, but only one side of it wss consnmed. From about nine o'clock till two, a constant tiraillade ensiled, but flones became so general, that no more suppart could be sent to the small prty that had defended the town, and the enemy was enabled to effect his plssaze arros' the remaining part of the bridge. Whil , t this was passing in the town, Field-Marshal Blucher drew np lu- K:ny - in two lines, in a vast plain on this side the river, having his cavalry in reserve, and - vas thus prepared to have taken every ad vantage of the enemy, I.ad he attempted to push any force ie-!ross the river. The view of this preparation, however, intimidated him The enemy bad pushed over three battalions, and extending them along the left hank of the river, begun a very sharp fire, with tin apparent d esopi to cover the tinnier advance of the troops from the river, when lie was himself attacked, driven back into the fowl?, and compelled to reeross the broken !midge, leaving several pri E oilers and wounded in our possession ; and at sun-set each army remained at their respective sides of the town. The reports of the prisoneis sta:e the corps opposed, to have been the 7th and 9:11, under the command of Marshal Ondinot, • besides a very large body of cavaby. Between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, whilst Fielef- Mar4ial Blucher was reemmoitring the enemy's position in the town, he was struck with a musket-ball in the kg. It passed through his hoot, but most fentunately did him no material iujnly. )Prince Schuhatoff, jun. General of Cdssacks, was also wounded diniug the day. The loss, however, was in general unimportant— about 2.:0 killed and w:niml'd. - ,Field-Marshat Blucher has hivonacted this night kith his army in the position taken wp during the morning.-1 have the honour to be, ike. • H.
