neral Dotnautier's infantry/division of the young Guards. . • On the 17t.h .. , the division of theyoung guards, commanded by Generalßarrois, also left Dresden. The Duke of Reggio, the Duke of Tarentum, the Duke of Ragusa, and Count Bertrand, were in line opposite to Bautzen. " '[he Prince of the Moskwa and General Lau bad reached Moyers Verda. " The Doke Of Belluno, General Sebastiani,. and General Replier, were marching •npon Ber lin. What Was foresei;n has happened at the ap proach of (4111get' LlW.Prussianslidiculed the regu-, lation respecting the. landsturm. A proclamation has adnounced to the inhabitants of Berlin, that they were covered by BuloWs corps ; but that at all events, shoat( the Prench arrive, they were not to talte, up ants, but receive them according to the principles of Nvar, There is no German who is inclined to bunt his habitation, or to assassi nate any one. This circumstance constitoires the eulogy of, the German nation. When desperadoes, without honour and without principles, preach up 'disorder and assassination, the character of this *good people repel them with indignation. The Schlegels, the Kotzebucs, and other agitators -equally criminal, would transform the Upright Germans into poisoners and assassins ; bat pos terity will remark, that they have not been able to seduce a single individual, a single authority beyond the line of duty and of probity. " Count Bubna arrived on the Itith at Dres den ; he was the bearer of a letter from the Em peror of Austria to the Emperor Napoleon Ile set off on the 17th on his return for Vienna. . . (."The Emperor Napoleon has proposed the meeting of a Congress at Prague for 'a general pence. On the side of France there would ar rive at this Congress the Plenipotentiaries of France, those of the United States of America, of Denmark., the Kin ,, of Spain, and all the allied Princes ; and, on the opposite side, those of Eng land, Russia, Prussia, the Spanish insurgents, and the other allies of that belligerent mass. In this Congreis would be established the basis of a long peace: But it is doubtful whether England is in clined to submit her egotistic and unjust principles to the censorship and opinion of the universe ; for there is no power,. however inconsiderable, that does not prelitninarily claim the privileges attached to its sovereignty, and which are conse crated by the - articles of the Treaty of Utrecht, respecting maritime navigation. If England, fr;nu that feeling of egotism, upon which her policy is founded, refuses to co operate in this grand work of the peace of the world, because she wishes to exclude the universe from that element - which constitutes three fourths of the globe, the Emperor, nevertheless, proposes . 8 meeting at Prague, of the Plenipotentiaries of all the Belligerent Powers, to settle the peace of the Continent. His Afaiesty offers, even to sti pulate at the moment when the Congress shall be formed, an armistice betwet.n the different armies, in order . to •put a stop to the effusion . of human blood. _ " These .prineiples, are conformable to the views of Austria. It now remains to be seen what the Courts of England, Russia, and Prussia will do. ". Thu distance of the United States of America ought not to form reasons for excluding them. The Congress might still he opened, and the De puties of the United States would have.timu. to arrive before the COUTPUSIOtt ut tile discussions, ill order to stipulate for their rights and their in terests." BAYREt/Tll, MAY 12.--Since the battle of bit zen a misunderstanding between the Russian and Prossiaif armies . daily appears more apparent ; the Prussians attribute the loss •of it to the Russian General Miloradowitseh, who, on the 23d April, *rrived at Dl:estlen, and marched so slowly, that on the 29th be was only in a position at Chilli nitz, in the Erzgeberg, twelve leagues from Dri:s den. There he received a courier from the Gene ral in Chief Wittgenstein, with a formal order to hasten his march to join the left wing of ,the Al lied Army. Aliloradowitsch obeyed this order; be nrirehed• his corps &armee on the 29th April from Chimnitz, and himself quitted that town on the 30th, tint his head-widirters 'were • only esta blished at Penig. The following day he rested, and the clay after marched upon Swekau ; he only arrived there at 7 in the evening, which prevent ed him from taking• an active Inrrt in the battle of Ole 241, at the conclusion of which he arrived th • field of battle, in order to take a part in the general retreat. it is to this slowness of the Russian General that the Prussians attribute their th. feat. On the other, side, the Russians accuse General D'Yo-k of having with his corps remain ed nearly a tranquil spectator, and. with not.hav ing attacked with sufficient energy. According to some t eports, General Wittgenstein at first in tended to occupy the right bank of the Elbe, and dispute its passage with the French, but be .gave up this project on accoant of the bail position of his army. lie successively passed to the right bank at' the Elbe all the Russian and Prussian troops which u ere in Dresden. klis calculations bay! , been entirely deranged by the genius of - the Latperar.

BERLIN, MAN' 13 —The French statement con cerning.the battle of the 2d of May, which has appeared at Leipsic, stands in great contrast with all thy'other French publications of the like na ture, and contains too great an acknowl'edgentent of the ;valom• displayed . by time combined. Prussians and Russians on that memorable day, for us to hesitate in giving the following verbal extracts front the Leipsic Gazette. Every sensible reader will nevertheless, on comparing them with the official statements on our side, easily discover the mistahes, although not very considerable, made in the relation of facts, and recog,nize in the Prince of Mecklenburg, as there denominated the Prince of Hesse Homburg, whose ptcniatureßiss We have to deplore.. ExTEACT 01' A LETTER ' , Rom BERLIN OF THE 15T MAY. Kotzebue's Russian and Gentian paper of this day, contains ns followS : " A view of the latest occurrences will not at present be given in this paper, for the reason of their beinB . still so intricate, that one can in no wise clearly see through them. But thus much we- can say for general joy and satisfaction, that Austria has actually: joined the allies ; and that nee troops are Marching towards Bavaria and Italy;. that.Stixony will egam unite with _Austria, so soon as site possibly exit ; that the Crown Prince of Sweden is actually arrived to add to his welt-earned laurels ;. that time allied troops are still animated With the same coo age, of which they gave proofs on the 2d; that the national ar mament and the insurrection are all under arms ; and finally, that Prince' Nutusoff of Smolensk° wrote to his Emperor after the capture of Moscow by the enemy, in the following terms : " Your Majesty. must not conceive that the Monarchy is lost because that Moscow -is in the hands'of . the enemy." • . Fttom 'nut LOWER ELDE.-7Accorfling to a letter of late chile, from a Prussian Officer with the corps of General Tschernichell, it appears that this corps, after having a second time crossed the Elbe, had daily had advantageous skirmishes . with the enemy, whose head-quarters• were at Gmffhorn, whilst those of General Tscherniebeff were at • Ueltzen. In a reconnoisance made by the'Prince of Eck - =hi, eighty Cossacks defeated two squadrons of cavalry, and took one officer and thirty chasseurs of the. 20 regiment prisoners. Thedesertion in the French army was so great, that General Tscherniebelf had formed an enth•e battalion of infantry out of the deserters. • The Russian pa troles were continually banging on the rear'of the enemy.

QUIA Intri;itti; em,s(rm Atri)E,VP?. L 0 N D N, MONDAY, may 31, 1813. It is with some degree of self-coMplaisance that we refer to the Second arid Third Editions of the StrN, published on Saturday, by the latter of which We were enabled to relieve the• anxiety-of the Public Mind on the subject of an Armistice having been agreed on between the allied Mo narchs and BuONAPARTE, and to state EXCLU SIVELY, that no such event had taken place ;, an d by th e f or mer today before the country (also EXCLUSIVELY) the very important Resolutions agreed to by the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ire law(, to which topic we shall hnmediately recur nglin so soon as we have directed the attention of Our Readers to the leading points embraced by the foreign intelligence. Paris Papers to the 27th reached town yester day, and the latest MOniteur - asserts that, another . battle had been fought at Bautzen on the 206, in which (as usual) the French were victorious. This mighty achievement, from the seat of its per formance, must have been accomplished over the corps of Mzr.ottArrowyrcnorhich according to the French accounts. had. - been already defeated and dispersed on the 12th, 15th and 16th. Bautzn, or Budessin, is between 30 and 40 miles from Dresden, and yet one of the Opposition prints of this morning, in commenting, and, according to custom, implicitly relying upon the Moniteur, says with glowing anticipation,---• " Our readers will see by the 'important event announced in the Monitern* of the ?sth, that he (BtfoxArARTL) proceeds with rapidity in the.career of eonvest; utUi he will not 410 p until he has Secured to' his army the undisputed possession of the whole territory up to the Otkr, if not to the Vistula." Was ever Party spirit carried to a more de plorable pitch than this ! It galls one to observe these devotions daily offered up to our bitter enemy, and these disgraceful sentiments conti nually inforced to the.injury of all that is dear, in feeling and in fact, to British bosoms ! But poi sons so malignant discover themselves, and bear with them their own antidote. "MacnoNato haviag put the army of MILORADO - WITCO hors de combat on the 15th,- between Bi sholfswerder and Bautzen, it was found necessary on that day to send to his further aid all the troops from Dresden, under the command of Minaret' and General Balsams, and on the following day the whole of the forces under these Generals, to gether with those under autmsror, !MACDONALD, AIARNIONT, and Count Bnamoni, were united, in order more perfectly to beat the beaten Rus sians ; and, this it is pretended they did on the 20th. To celebrate this victory (it is be lieve:l).a great firing has taken place all along the French and Dutch coasts, as is announced in our Port Letters from Dover and Harwich. For our selves, we have only to repeat the opinion we in variably deliver upon the receipt of Parisian news, namely, that having convicted BUONAPARTE of being a notorious and systematic liar, and know ing that at this good slay lies are more than ever necessary for the upholding of his usurped autho rity, we are not inclined to attach credit to what it is his evident interest to invent, and to have believed. On the contrary we are convinced that• MILO ItADOW ITCH was decidedly the conqueror. _ . Alin.yr arrived at Dresden on the 20th, whence 1i.(70 NAPA RTE IMO set- vut on-tho precoding even ing. NEN and LAURISTON were at HoyersWerda, not so far in advance from the Elbe- as their fellow C ointnanders. Vlcron, SteasTIANI, and REGNien, are represented as marching on Berlin; to protect which we find the Allies making consider . - able exertions, though they do not seem to deem its loss of vital consequence, should that event un fortunately take place. EtiGnin I.lcAuttAttwols made his appearance at Milan on • the ISth ; and, if we can attach any political import ance to the movements of a satellite of NAPO ',miss; we should augur most f avoura bl y f rom t hi s . circumstance, as to the diipositions of the Cabinet of Vienna.'-HKiirzhaue, indeed, asserting, in his Paper at Berlin, that Austria has. !actually joined the allied cause, has -mentioned the march of her troops towards' Bavaria and Italy, as proof of the fact; and, ! certainly, *the hitter 'movement could, only demonstrate hostility to France, and good will to Europe.. • . The arrival of the Swedes at Hamburgh, which we Mentioned on Saturday, obtains additional con firmation from the Heligoland mails; the con tents of which are given in a.vpreceding column. Front these it appears, that the Danes, on their approach, retired, to make toom,for the new and more numerous defenders of Hambnrgh, of whom 8000 entered that city on the 23d. This is very gratifying intelligence, and we rejoice to see every . partial feeling of every power absorbed in the ge nerous sentiment, that it wontd have been 'das tardly; criminal, and.abOminable, to have stood tamely by,and seen the brave Hanseatics sacrified to the fury and vengeance of an enraged ruffian. But the grand object on which our regards are rivetted at thiS moment is the.proposition .for a Congress of Sovereigns and States, to be held at Prague, with a view to the establishment of a broad and general Peace. Austria, svith the ba lance of Europe its her hands,' has, without !doubt, originated this proposal, though BUO NAPA lITE pretends that the 'offer preceeded from his own humane heart. Count BUBNA was sent to NAPOLEON, at Dresden, and Count VON SirAotoN to the Emperor of RUSSIA and King of PRUSSIA, to lay before them the bases on which the several Powers might treat . under the mediation of Austria, and as, defiped that Go vernm eat.
