Some days previoui we could collect, that the Al. lied Army was retreating, because we witnessed the arrival of bavgave, of the park of artillery, 'and Iminy Prussian and Russian Generals, with some troops, who returned t 6 Pegau : but in the night of ; the 7th, all doubt was removed, of the retreat of the ! Combined Forces.; .and . on the morning of the Bth, !the troops were hastily retiring to the right bahk. of the Elbe. By four in the morning of that day,: the Emperor Alexander had retired to the right baalcd and about nine was followed by the King of Prussia. At last, about 10 o'clock, when . the Allied Army had crossed the Elbe, the bridge was burned, by which means all communication was interrupted. • I Most of the Russian troops passed the Elbe by the bridges established above and below the city. We are alAured that a considerable part of the troops, particularly the corps of General Blucher, was to pan at the FAhe at Meissen. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon the French Iles , cars entered Dresden, accompanied by many other rtroops, who pursued the Russians to the points where °. they crossed the Elbe. The Russians defended the I Mies-de-pont erected on its banks ; there was a good deal of cannonading and fire of musketry: but the 'Russians having all crossed the Elbe by mid-day, set i fire to the bridges, which were seen floating down the river on fire, and continued to fleet down in that' State as far as the great bridge. The boats of which this bridge . was constructed ,lelonged to different owners, as there were about 20 boats, you may judge of the loss which the owners have suffered. The combined armies having wholly passed the Elbe, the cannonade and fire of musketry were kept up on the two banks during the whole of the' Sth. After dinner, the Emperor Napoleon eatered Dresden with his army, accompanied by the Vice roy of Italy, a number of Marshals, Berthier and Macdonald. He is lodged in the same palace which be formerly occupied. During the night, and neat day, the necessary preparations were made for esta blishing a bridge over the Elbe. The Russians en deavoured to oppose this, and did not cease firing on the left bank both with cannon and musketry. They had placed a cannon at the bridge, and occupied the houses adjoining the Elbe, from whence they direct ed their fire, to which the . French did not cease re plying, so that there was a continued engagement, which lasted from four in the morning to eight in the evening. Two inhabitants of this city were killed, and between 30 and 40 wounded. A number of balls fell on the houses, and in the streets, but (lid no damage. Thus she inhabitants of Dresden spent this day in fear and alarm. Scarcely had we reposed a few hours, when at one in the morning of the 10th, the cannonade And fire of mus ketry recommenced, and lasted till four o'clock. — The Russians quitted the New Town, and a French garrison was immediately placed there. Probably, the new bridge of boats will be forthwith re established. " The 4th, 6th, 11th, and 12th corps, will pass I ,•se THE•NAME OP THE EMPEROR, THE.
