She had been but three mintles in Saxony. She lived with the Grand Huntsman, who had received and treated her honourably. The Emperor ordered her a pension of 1200 francs, and promised to take care of her child. • This is (said the Emperor) the first time that I alighted to avoid a storm, and I had a presentiment that it would be attended by some good salon.'

EIGHTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. Potsdam, Oct. 26. The Emperor has been to view the tomb of Fre derick the Great.

It is placed in a vault. without any ornaments, any trophies of vidory ; without any distinetion to fecal**, tittlieDtf of his great and heroic actions: " The Emperor h presented to the Hotel of the •Invalids at Paris, the sword of the Great Frederick, the ribber,: of hi s order, the Black Eagle, and also the coke is which he took in the Seven Years War. The old invalids, of the Hanoverian army, will re ceive every thing with a kind of religious veneration which belongs to ode of the greatest Generals in the anaals of hint:el. " Lord Morpeds, the English Envoy to the Prussian Court, was only six hours' distance from the held of battle, on the 14th. He heard the firing.

Thi, Bieletin then proceeds to state, that a de had waited in the morning to deliver the E ll e t y a s t r the fortress of Spandau to Bonaparte. at Potsdam ; and thus concludes They (the de pale') confessed the reports spread through the city of Berlin were false; that the citizens, and the Miss of die people, had viewed the wee with re gret; that a handful of women and young officers were the only persons who had promoted it ; that lir was a man of no penetration. who could not ',settee what was to be expeeted from it. Like all de rest of the Prussians, they considered the visit of Alexander as the cause of their misfortunes. 'the change which then took place in the mind of the Queen, who, from a timorous and modest ferns's.. engaged in her household affairs, became bewil dered, wishing only for wet ; this change (they said) had produced a dreadful revolution. From that moment, she wished to have a regiment ; she hi e tided herself into the Council, and took the lead in the monarasy se far, Chat in a few days she brought it to the brisk of destrudion. Here follows a copy of the Capitulation of the Fortress of Seeadau.

These document: ought to farm historical records ; they shew, it it was necessary, how unfortunate Princes are when they suffer women to interfere in State affairs. The Notes, Reports, and State Papers, were scented with musk, and lay mingled together upon the queen's toilette. This Princess had turned the heads of all the women in Berlin. But now another charge has succeeded. The first fugitives that took refuge there were received with contempt, and they were reminded of the day when they ft,urished their swords upon the plains of Berlin, and pre tended to cut down all that opposed them. " General &teary, sent off with a detachment of cavalry to,seek the enemy, has informed us that Prince HoSenlohe, compelled to leave Magdeburg, was, on the 25th, between Rathenau and Ruppin, retreating to Stettin.

Charlettenbunt, O&. 27. if As the military movements are no loorr un certain, they are become still more interesting, by the contrivances of marches and manoeuvres. The indefatigable Grand Duke of Berg was at Zehde nick on the 26th, at duce o'clock in the afternoon, with a brigade of light cavalry, under General La salle, while the division of dragoons under the Ge nerals Beaumont and Grouchy were marching to the same point. " The brigade under General Lasalle, presented itself to the enemy, who opposed with 6000 cavalry. This was the whole of the cavalry of the Prussian army that had escaped from Migdeburgh. forming the advanced guard of Prince Hohenlohe's corps, direding their march towards Stettin. " At four in the afternoon. when both divisions of the cavalry had arrived, General Lasalle at tacked the enemy with his usual intrepidity. which has always formed the eharaiter of the French hussars and Tager' in the present war. Tate seamy's lieu, though formed in three deep, was broken ; they were pursued into the village of Zthde. nick, and thrown into confusion ha the: dafiles.-- The Queen's regiment of Dragoons endeistectunad to recover themselves, but the dragoons of Grouchy's division soon @hewed themselves, fell upon the enemy, and made dreadful havoek among them.— A part of these 6000 cavalry was driven into the morasses ; 300 remained upon the field ; 700 with their horses were made prisoners. The Colonel and a great number of Officers of the Queen's regiment are included. The colours of the regi ment are taken. Marshal Lances' corps is in fall march to support our cavalry. The Cuirassiers are marching in editions to the right wing, and Another turps is advancing towards the Graneee. We shall be at Stettin before the army that are marching there ; which, being out-flanked, is as good as cut off already. Undisciplined as they are, there is reason to hope that not a man of them will escape, and that the whole of that part of the Prussian army, which lost two days, without any advantage, at Magdeburgh. in order to coiled themselves, will not be able to reach the Oder. " The above-mentioned affair at Zehdenick, as a martial achievement, is remarkable—neither party had any infantry—but that the Prussian cavalry is much inferior to ours, is proved by the events of this campaign. "They have never been able to make a stand against half their number of French. " One of the Adjunds of the General Staff taken fw!soner by the enemy in Thuringia, as he was car eying orders to Marshal Monier, was conveyed to Gastrin, where he saw the King. He says, that [cry dr few troops had artived on that side rif the ; either there, or at Stettin, he scarcely saw any infant-y."
