Russians, who, were superior in 'number, with the bayonet, • On the 19th inst. the inetniencaMPed at.Zob ten. A'corps of '12,000 Russiana passed the Bo ber,' and attacked the post of‘Liebeneeken, which was defended by,threclight companies. General Lanriston caustd a port of his corps to take to artns s .left Lqweuherg,4narched to the enemy, and drove him into the Bober. 'The brigade of Gen. Lalitte, at the . division of Rochambeau, has dis tinguished ts elf. " Mean While the Emperor arrived7on the 20th at Laubcn, and at break of day' on the 21st he was at Lowenberg, and caused bridges to be thrown across the Bober. General Lauriston's corps crossed the river at noon. Qen.Maison, with his accustomed valour, beat down every thing ,that endeavoured to oppose his passage, carried all the, positions, and 'drew the enemy lighting, near to ilnldeberg. He was' supported by the sth and ith corps. On his left, the Prince , of Moskwa caused General Sakewta be attacked by. the 3d corps in front of Bunzlau, overthrew them, put thern.to rout, and took some prisoners. " The enemy put himself in retreat. An en gagement. -took place before Goldsberg, on the 23d August. General Lauriston was there 'at the bead of the sth and 11th corps. He had benne Min the Missions, who covered the position of Flensberg, and the Prussians, who extended them selves to the right, on the road to Leignitz. At the moment when' Geri. Giriard debotietced to the left on Niederatt, a column of 25,000 Prussians appeared lit this point. He caused them to be at tacked in the middle of the barracks of the old camp, Which were forced at all parts the Prus sians essayed to make several charges of cavalry, which were repulsed every where .; they were driven from their positions,, and left near 5000 dead on the field of battle, besides fame prisoners, &c. On the right, Fleusburg was taken and re taken several times. At length the 135th 'regi ment threw itself on the enemy, and entirely over threw him. The enemy has lost at this. point 1000 dead, and 4000 wounded. The Allied Army retired in disorder, and in great baste, towards Jauer. " The enttny being thus defeated in Silesia, the Emperor took with him the Prince of Moskwa, left the command of the army in. Silesia to the Duke of Tarente, and arrived on the 25th at Stot lien. The old and young guards, infantry, ca valry, and 'artillery, performed these 40 leagues in four days." Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has received the following intelligence train the artny, dated 28th August : " On the 213th, at eight in the morning, the Emperor entered Dresden. The Grand Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Army, commanded by time bovereign4, was before it it crowned all the bills which surround Dresden ' at the distance of a short league, upon the left hunk. Marshal St. Cyr, with the 14th Corps and the Garrison of Dresden, occupied the entrenched camp, and lined with sharpshooters the fortifications which stir rounded the suburbs. All was tranquil at noon but to the skilful eye, this calm was the precursor of a storm cue attack appeared imminent. " At four in the aftetnoon, at the signal of the firing of three cannon, six enemy's columns, each 'preceded. by 50 pieces of artillery, formed, .rand few moments after descended into the plain • they unirtlicd towards the redoubts. In less :ban a quarter of ail hour, the fire became terrible. The fire of a redoubt being silenced, the assailants turned it, and made efforts at the foot of the for tifications of the suburbs, where a good number met death. " It was near five o'clock; a part of the re serves of the 4th corps was engaged. Some shells tell Imo the town ; the moment appeared press ing. The Emperor ordered the King of Naples to march with General Latour IVlatillerg's cavalry upon the enemy's right flank, and the Duke'' of TrevisO to match against the left flank. The four divisions of the Young Guard, commanded bo Generals Dumontier, B arroes, Decouz, and Magnet then debouched, two by the gate of Pinna, and two by the gate of Platten. The Prince of Moskwa debouched at the head of Barroes' divi fi ion, Those divisions overthrew every thing be fore them; the fire immediately got to a, distance from the centre to the circumference, and was soon driven back upon the hills. The field of battle remained covered with dead, cannon, and wrecks. General Dumontier is wounded, as are likewise Generals Boyeldieu, Tyndal, and Com belles. The Officer of Artillery, Berancer, is mortally wounded,: he was a young man of great hopes. General Gross, of the Guards, was the first to throw himself into the ditch of a redoubt, where' the enciny!s sappers were already at work. la cutting down the palisades he received a bayonet wound. "The night became dark, and the fire ceased, the enemy having failed in his attack, and left up star& of f2OOO prisoners on the field of battle, -1.1 wet) waR covered with dead and wounded. '' (.)u the 27th the weather was dreadful, and the rain in torrents ; the soldiers bad passed the night in mad and water. At nine o'clock in the morning WC cotild plainly perceive the enemy lengthening his left, and covering the heights which were separated front his centre, by the val icy of Platten. " The King of Naples departed with the corps of the Duke of Benno°, and the divisions of uirassiers, and delumehed on the road to Frey 7 berg to attack the left wing. He performed it with the greatest success. The six divisions which composed this wing were broken and scat tered. The half of them with their colours and cannon were made prisoners, and amongst the number are several Generals. " lra the centre a brisk cannonade fixed the enetny'*, attention, and some columns spewed themselves ready to attack him on his left. The Duke of Treviso with General Nant sooty, manoeuvred in the plain with his left to the to the river and his right to the heights. Marshal St. Cyr's corps joined our lett, with the centre, which was formed of the Duke of Ragusa's corps. rr At about two o'clock in the afternoon the enemy decided oil making his retreat.; he had lost his grand counuunicatioA with Bohemia on left And right. aria t. The result of Ibis day is 25 to 30 1 000 prisrsners, 40 pair of colour's, and 60 Vfeces of artillery. " We may reekon that. the 'enemy ,leas lost 60,000 men. Oar loss, killed, wouuad, and taken, a mougti to 4000 men. The cavalry , bas 'covered itself with glory. — The Etat Major of the cavalry will publish the de tails, and mention those who have distinguished themselves. The young Guards have secured the praises of the whole army. The old Guards bad two battalions engaged; its other battalions Were kept in reserve in the village to be at,dispoSal.--- The two battalions which were engaged beat do wn every thing before them. ` • " The city of Dresden ran great risks of danger. ".The conduct of the inhabitants has been such as we should expect from an allied people. The King of Saxony and his family remained At Dres den, and have shewn the example of confidence.", Her Majesty the Empress, Queen, and Regent, has received the following intelligence from"the army, dated the 30th August ; " On the 28th, 29th, and 30th, we followed up our success. Generals Castex, Doutnere, and D'Oudenarde, of General Latour Alauberg's corps, have taken 1000 caissons or waggons at ammuni tion, and collected many prisoners. The villages are full of the enemy's wounded ; we already rec kon 10,000 of them. " The enemy, according to the report of priso ners, had eight Generals killed or wounded. " The Duke of Ragusa has had several affairs of advanced posts, which attest the intrepidity of his- troops. " General Vandamme, commanding the Ist. corps, on the 25th debouched by ,Koenig Stein ; and on the 26th took possession of the camp at Pirna, of the 'town, and of Hohendorf. He inter cepted the grand 'communication from Prague to Dresden. The Duke of Wirtemberg, with 15,000 . . Russians, was charged with observing the de bouch. On the 28th General Vandatutne attacked and defeated him, took 2000 prisoners, six pieces of cannon., and drove him into Bohemia. . The Prince of Reuss, General of Brigade, an officer of merit, was killed. On the 29th, General fon dant= took a position upon the heights 'of Bohe mia, and established there. He caused the coun try to. be scoured by different parties of light troops, to obtain intelligence of the enemy, an noy him, and seize upon his 'maka'zilies. The - Prince of Eckmuhl was on the 24th at Schwerin; 1-1 - had no affair of consequence... Th 4 Danes had distinguished themselves in several trifling affairs. The opening of the canwaign has been most brilliant, and allows us to forth great hopes. The quality of infantry is much superior to that of the enemy."—(Mottiteur, Sept. 6.) PAIUS, SEPT. 3.--We have this instant receiv ed the following letter from Dresden ;-- " I cannot give you the particulars, but our successes astonish ourselves. Almost without loss, we have 4estroyed, „r nearly so, the formidable Austrian army; I believe that we have already brought into Dresden between 30 and 40,000 Austrians r prisoners. We'fire in pursOit of the vanquished, and I trust they will not be let off so."' According to private letters from Dresden, dated the 29th, in the evening, the result of the affairs which have taken place since the . 26th August, is 50,00 Q men killer{ or taken prisoners, besides which a great number of cannons and co lours hare been taken. Thei.e is talk of a train of 300 carriages of artillery taken by` as on the road to Preyberg, It is said that the two roads by which the ene my inclined upon Dresden, that of Freyberg, and that of Peterswalde, have been cut oft by the fine manoeuvres ordered by the skill and genius o 6 his Majesty. The enemy has now, in order to retire into Bohemia only, very difficult roads, in which they must sutler considerable losses of every kind. The enemy's retreat resembles a flight. Letters from Hamburg!' which have just arriv ed, announce some new sucesses gained by the Prince of Eckmubl on the side Of ilbstock. Paxts, SHPT. 6.—The private letteri from Dres den came down to the 31st August.' One of them, dated the 29th, contains the following in telligence : " The enemy's army endeavoured, in all baste, to gain the frontiers of Bohemia. Having lost its two lines of, opera tion, it was obliged to pass by cross-roads, in which it Suf fered many losses. .Its retreat is not only a flight, but a po ,sitive route ! General VANDAMME, who is marching on Pe terslwalden, has this morning defeated the Russian troops, commanded by the Prince of. ‘VtiaTulavte, and taken six pieces of cannon. General CHASTE'. has debouched from Freyberg on the rear of the enemy. He took in the morning three hundred carriages of artillery,. among which are seve ral pieces of cannon. Ail the villages are filled, with wounded, stragglers, and broken columns. The Ex-General l'idottEau, and the Emperor ALEXANDER were present at these last affairs. It is said that it was bitheir advice' that the enemy's army engaged in operations which have been so pre judicial to it. ' "'The accounts of the 31st of August state, that the con voys of prisoners made by the combined armlet, fallow one another without interruption, and that the number probably exceeds 50,000. The number of pieces of cannon winch have 'been taken is not, certainly known; the , town Was besides so much encumbered with baggage of every kind, which fell into the bands of the conquerors, that the estimate could not taken. Efficacious measures have been taken to en sure their subsistence, and conveyance of the prisoners into France. The Emperor continues to enjoy the most perfect health. " It is expected that a Bulletin will sgpi► satisfy the gener4l anxiety, by malting linown the particula►rs of the glorious ex ploits which have animated all Freitch, 'trans witt► inexprcs-, slide joy.

The first operations of this 4rmy have been signalized by success, which letters from thtirta state in the followiii4 terms :—" Thu accounts which we have received front T a c vi continue to be satisfactory.

It is certainly with feelings of no small satisfaction that, after studying all the bearings of these accounts, we find that in the earnest endeavours we had previously made to develope order from the confusion in which for mer communications from the Continent were involved, we have not been unsuccessful, but on the contrary may refer our readers to every Num ber ofTi`io;'uti published since the 2d instant, for a correct picture of the state of affairs on that trelnendous the a t re w h ere t h e destinies of Eur Ope are at issue.
