Reden's Hussars from the right to the left flank, and to throw the 43d into a second line; and then the 1 93d carried the entrenchment, and forced the Enemy .' to retreat into the town hi disorder. They were : followed immediately in the most gallant style by Colonel Reden and his Hussars, and by the Ist bat- ~ . talion 95th regiment, and afterwards by the whole , of the infantry of my corps . , Upon crossing the, rivulet, we found General Linsengen's Corps upon our right flank, and the whole joined in the pursuit of the Enemy. Major-General Ozhoken, t he secOnd'in command, who had joined the Army with fotir battalions last night from the Southern Island, attempted , to stand in the village of Herfolge, but .he was attacked briskly by:the hussars, with -detachments of : which were Captain Blaquiere , and Captain Cotton of. the Staff, and by a small detachment of the Ist of the 95th ; find he was COPliftelied to surrender • with Count Wedel Jarlsbutg, several other Officers, and four hundred men. • .. . . ! The loss:of the Enemy has been very great, many have fallen, and there are -nearly sixty Offi cers, and one thousand one hundred men prisoners.. In- their flight they have thrown away their arm and clothing, and many , stands of the former have fallen into our hinds. I believe that We have taken ten pieces of cannon ; 'but ' , have not yet received all the Reports from' the detachments employed in the pursuit of the Enemy.. I have not seen General Linsengen, as he is still out with laic Hussars; but I understand that the. Enemy had destroyed the bridges at Little. Salbye, which was the cause of the delay of his operations upon their flank. 1 ' .
