The enemy, notwithstanding his superiority of force, was overthrown, and pursued to the gates of Delitsch, with a considerable loss in killed • and wounded, besides one hundred and fifty prisoners, one of whom was an officer. Lieut.- Col. Lowenstern continued to harass, iu front of Bernbourg, the enemy's cavalry, which, though su perior in numbers, made demoustratious of retreating upon Magdebur g . Major' Baron b' Essen, Aid-de-Camp to the Crown Prince, and the Russian Capt. Krasnakutzki, have proceeded with a regiment of Cossacks to Delitsch. Col.

[FROM THE NEW BREMEN OA 2 ETU" OF TMili• Psie • ocr. 1813.] BREMEN, OCT. 15. — Yesterday, at _ mid`-day, Tetteuborn, at the head of his troops, entered thi city, amid the rejoicings of the people. His mart towards the Weser, after having crossed the Elbe Boitzenburg, on the 9th, was so rapid,, that on I 13th our city saw itself very unexpectedly sorrow ed by the Allied troops. When first the news rived here that the Cossacks were approaching ta, from Werden s our Commandant, Col. Thuillier fiat- Wed himself he should be able to repel them. Ile had 300 men of a Swiss battalion, who some days before had entered here, after marching from Ham. WO; and they were stationed in the suburbs at the eastern gate, by which the Cossacks Were to pens trate: but no sooner was the artillery of the Hanseatic corps brought up, and some shots fired, than the Cossacks broke in upon them, and those not out down were made prisoners. The troops within the town still continued their resistance, and several rockets were thrown by Gen. Tettenborn, which fell in various places. Numbers of the citizens were anxious that the gates should be opened; but•they were forced to retire to their houses by the French patroles. Gen. Tettenborn was unwilling, how ever, to lay the city in ashes . with his rockets, and made preparations to storm, the gates. Major De valiant, who succeeded to the command of the town, after the . death of Colonel Thuillier, perceiving the preparations made, and that be was unable to make head against them, proposed a capitulation, which was finally settled between Lieutenant-Colonel Pfuel and himself. The garrison, which had been weakened by the loss of more than 300 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners, were allowed freely to depart with the honours of war, on condition of not serving against i the allies for one year. This condition will be the I more certainly fulfilled, as part of the Swiss are al ! ready come over to' us. All the warlike stores and ammunition, 14 cannon, 2 howitzers, a considerable i quantity of merchandise and valuable baggage, fell linto the hands of the conquerors. The cavalry ! horses were to be-given up, and the cavalry to march; on foot. The French civil agents, among whom was i the Prefect, thirst not depart without a Russian pass ' port. The success of this vigorous attempt upon : Bremen must ca u se the enemy great annoyance, and 1 must weaken their every day decreasing strength, while it promotes fhe progress of the Allied Armies. CASSEL, Ocr. I.—After the most severe marches I by day and night that can be conceived, we came in front of Cassel, on the 28th of September, at sit in the morning.
