~> r dopted a different conduct in such a civilized country as Germany. • PAim, Max 20.-liee Majesty the Empress Queen and - Regent, has received the following in telligence relative to the situation of the army on the morning of the 11th of May. The army of the Elbe has been disFolved ; and the two armies of the Übe and the Mein form only one. " The Duke of Bellitno was on the evening. of the 13th near Wittenberg. The Prince of 'Mos cow has left Torgati to proceed to Luknu. " Count id,euriSton Willi marching from Torgau on Dobreleigh.... '' Count Bertrand was at Koenigshrttck. " Tina:Duke of 'resent°, with the I Ith corps, was encamped,betW?..en Bischollswerdcr and Baut zen.. I.le, on the 11th and 12th, briskly pursued the enemy: . . • General Miloradovitz, with a tear-guard con sisting- of 20,000 men, and 40 pieces of'caonon, endeavoured, 013 the 12th, to retain the positions of Fischbach, Capelhenberg, and of Ilisholswer der, which brought, on threesuccessive battles, in which our troops behaved with the Utmost in- trepidity. " Charpentier's division distinguished itself on., the locusts on the right. live enemy was turned in this position, and dislodged at. all points ; one of his columns was cut oft:. We have taken five hundred prisoners, and he had upwards of 1;500 men- killed or erssmded. The .Itrtillery of the llth coi ps fired 2,000 cannon .shot in the en gagement. • " The remains of the Prussian army, under the command of the King of Prussia, which passed at Medi-tau, took the road to Bautzen, by Koenigs bruck, to join.the Russian army. " Yesterday at noon, the Duke of Reggio.'s corps passed the bridge of Dresden. The Em peror has reviewed the cavalry corps and fine cuirassiers,. under General Latour Maubourg. " It is said the Russians have advised the Prus sians to burn Potsdam and Berlin, and lay all Waste. They began by setting the example themselves. In their galete de emir, they burned the little town of Bishofswerder. The King of SaXOny dined ,with the Emperor . , on the 13th. The 2d division of the Young Guards, com manded by General Barrois, is expected to-mor row at Dresden." • PA3IS, MAY 21.—Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has ieecived the,following in formation of the situation of the armies on the 16th, in the evening : • ". On the 15th, the Emperor and King of - Saxouy reviewed four regiments of Saxon cavalry (one of hussars, one of lancers, and two of siers), which forme part of General Latour 'Mau bourg's corps. Their Majesties afterwards vi sited the field of battle' at the - tete-du-pout at Prulnitz. The Duke of "Tarenti put himself in motion .on the 15th, at five in the morning, to march op posite Bautzen. He met at the debouche from the enemy's rear-guard ; some charges of cavalry were attempted against our cavalry, but cessfally. The enemy, however, wishing to main— tain himself in this position, a fire of musketry took place, and be was driven from the post. We had 250 men killed or wounded-in this rear-ghard affair. The eueny's loss is estimated. at. train 7 to 800 men, of Whom 2po are prisoners. " The second division of the Voting Guard, commanded by General' Blierois, arrived at Dres den yesterday. • All the army has passed the • Elbe. Independently of the grind bridge at Dresden, two bridges of boatss have been esta blished, the one above, the Other below the town. • " The Berlin Gazette of the Bth, contains! the regulation for the Lamistarin. Folly cannot be carried further,lsatt it may be foreseen that the in habitants of Prussia have too much good sense, and are too much attached to the real principles of propriety, to imitate barbarians who hold no- Oleg sacred. At the battle of Lutzeo, a regiment composed of the - . Elite of the Prussian nobility, and who were called Pritsiiian Cossacks, were en tirely destroyed, only HigNeen belonging to it re— main, which has covered all allele families with inonettiugs These Cossacks really feigned Cos sacks of the Don ; these tender delicate young • men had Winces in their hands, which they could scarcely. support, and were dressed like real Cos -sacks. What would Frederick say, if he saw his • great nephew, at this day, seek models of nuiform anti appearance trout them ? The Cossacks are ill . clothed, they are moriated upon small borses, al nsost vvithout saddles and harness, 'because they are irregular Militia, which the inhabitants of the Don Ittenish, -and which are e.ittiblished at their expense. go there to scelz fur a model for the Nobility of Prussia, is to shetv to what point the spirit of folly and incompetency is carried, which directs the affairs of that kingdom."

" They flattered utl ..einselves . to Brice us out of Germany, and even to carry the seat of war into our ancient territories, should we refuse to submit to such laws as their arrogance should please to dictate to us from the banks of the Rhine, nor did they awaken from this dream of glory till the mo ment of their disenchantment in the plains of Lutzen. - " The s6verity of an early winter alone tri umphed over our army, always victorious in those diAtalit and horrible climate , . But proud of a calamity, whereof they, like us, had partaken the rigours, the 'Russians considered our projects as mere dreams, our preparations as fabulous sto ries, and our resource:l as chimeras.

They bring down the BUONAPARTEAN history of the ivar to the evening of the IGth, by three dispatches ad dressed to the ENIPItESS REGENT, dated on that day, and on the 13th and 14th. The - strong fortress of Spandau has surrendered to the Allies, to the greatdis pleasure and mortification of the Tyrant, who has given Orders for the-trial (as a prelude, we suppose, to the - execution) of the Officers who commanded at the period of the Ca pitulation. The only actions alluded to are men tioned in so confused and indistinct a Manner, that it is not easy to diicover any thing concern ing them, more thud that the enemy must have been very severely handled, although they, as usual, claim a vietoty, and assert that Alt Lo , annov yrcu lost 1500 killed and wounded, and 500 prisoners. The_ contest seems to have been contintted from the 12th to the 15th. It com menced near Bischotiswerder on the former, and terminated between that place and,Bautzen on the latter day. The Russian force is stated at 20,000 men, but no Mention is made of the num ber of the French army, which consisted of the 11th corps (under 14licuoN.ALD, as the successor of BxAunAnNots) ,anti conseptently of the most ve teran troops of the enemy. We know that llmo annovrrett is one Of the best anti most enter prising Generals in the Russian service; and front the admission that INIACDONALD ryas encamped be tween Bisehotis werder and Bautzen p rev i ous to t h e 12th, where he still was on the 15th, we should not be s u rprised to bear that our brave Allies were the assailants instead of having been pur sued, and that they had obtained si ri onal advan tages iu3tend of baying been. defeated..
