" The very superior fire of-the enemy had dis mounted cannon and made vacancies in-the masses of the troops. 44 Twenty-four of the enemy's squadrons seined the favourable moment, took a battery, and sur rounded oer battalions.

They do not contaia any intelli gence of great importance. But yet, amidst the id tricaq and confusion which. form their distinguish int characteristic, it is impossible notto find in them statements that tend td tire sanction to the intellia gence some days ago received of considerable advert.; tages having been obtained by the army under Bt.o. coca over the French commanded by MAcDONILD, •in Silesia. Torrents of rain fell ; the Bober rose to such a height as to carry away the bridges, the French columns were separated from each other, and in consequence of these untoward circumstances, the_ 66 brilliant success," which had been confi- ' deutly anticipated, was not attained.-:-At night (the night of the 27th of August), MACDONALD collected. his colonise, and took a position at Donato's. Having received this information,. Boo.traktt set out e from Dresden on the night of the 3d, attacked BLUCHER, and drove him across the Queiss on the 4th, and refunted again to Dreg. den on the Gth. During the interval between the 27th of August and the 4th of Septeinher, an interval , aright days, we are left to conjecture what were 1 the operations of the contentlitig armies. We are left in ignorance as to the precise . point where BoNAPARTE found his army, and are told, that its first proceedings after he took the command of it was to drive the Allies across a river above slaty miles in sarcasm' of their position on the 2Gth and 27th of August, on the heights of Jitter. It is also very remarkable, that I It_ 1 L...NAPARTE, after having driveti,his enemy across ' the QUeiss, shoold not have continued to push still furtheihisedvantages in that quarter.

If we were not well acquairited with ., the restless activity of the French Ruler, and coo. : rioted that his r4asent circumstances are such ai IS demand the utmost sotereise of it, 'we should percelio something of precipitation in this immediate return.l to Dresden.
