vow within half gun shot of each other. The , timue_.:er of the cannon ,was terrible. After the firing had continued for some time, the troops became inip:tient• of suffering so much without any thing 'decisive happening. Some ma noeuvres then commenced on both sides, in older to` obtain advantages over eachbther, and in the mean time a thick fall of snow came an, in consequence'of. which the troops could not diseern one another at the distance of two paces.- - --In this obscurity some of the corps lost their. way, and % the cOb - untis getting too much to the left wandered in uncertainty.

A column of the enemy which could not pass the" Alle fOund itself turned, and cut off by our left wing. Marshal NEY, who pursued them, took several thousand prisoners:and. sixteen pieces if cannon., . , In consequence of these Movements we took the, enemy's depots at Liebstadt and'Gutstadr, and a part of their - magazines on the Alle. • On the 6th the army continued to pursue the enemy.

Two lines of Rus siatiintlintry were broken, and the third only remain- ed intire in Consequence of its being supported by a Tire squadrons of the Iniperial Guard twice passed through the whole of the enemy's army. V 1 :, Wards of 20 ,0 00 men were overthrOwn, and forced to abandon their artillery, and had it not been for the wood and some difficulties of ground, the vialory . would have . been decided upon the .Spot. The snow, ' which fell several times during the battle, likevViSe retarded the march and junction of our columns., Marshal Nn advanced by Altdorf, and took post at Schmoditen.
