GOTTENBURGH MAIL. GENERAL BARON ARMPELDT'S. REPORT TO BARON 'ESSEN, GOVERNOR-GENERAL or POMERANIA, RE LATIVE TO THE ACTIONS BETWEEN THE SWEDISH AND PRENCII TROOPS, ON THg 16TH OF APRIL, '1867. , " As early as the 12tii of April I received intelli gence that the siege of Cdlberg was raised, and Ge neral MORTIER was marching to Stettin, to form . a jun,..ion with the garrison of that place, commanded by General GRATI.DJEA N. _ • "On the~«tsth, in the morning, Colonel CARDELL -reconnoitred, from Neakong to Passewalk:: he was attacked by the Enemy, and fell back to his po sitioni. AU reports agreed, that the Enemy was from 12,000 to 45,009 men strong. In this,situa tiim I had no other choice than either try fall' back, behind the river Peene, and abandon the, magazine in Anclatn, or, Co endeavour to tepulse'the Enemy ; and _if this could not be.done., tomalseaultortourahle_ __retreat, clispl'lting with the Enemy,-every -inch of ground he -had to traverse. I thought it Tight to prefer the latter measure. " As the French were assembling in considerable f - oree, I found it also . necessary to concen•tral4 the troops finder' my s icomMand.. Colonel VE6ESACtes position could bot:be altered but Col. 'CARDS received `i)rders to take a position hear the rivulet Zarow, pushing his advanced posts as far as Uaker munde and 'Sargalow. • • • • . - • • ;. • " Onsthe utith,, at six'o'clock in the morning ; -I. received Brigadier-General VE6E:s A cn's - re- • port; that; hiN out-pbsts near'Belling had been driven in by the Enemy, and that the French were march ing in - cansidenkle • forcer to Ferdivandshoff and Sprengenfeldt.. I. immediately sent orders to Col. CAR DELL, in i case that .he-should not be attacked, to seila socCours to Sprengenfel4 by wayof Blumenthal. At seven o'clock I .received a report. that .Colonel Cuip.ELL was. severely _attacked b_y_lhe.Enemy. .1 iminediately proceeded with ttiy escort to Sprengen feldt. In Old CO3CUOW, where the roads of tic ket-Wm-de, Zarrowmill, and Pas4ewaik meet, .17 - lEfr one battalion of foot, and my. Aid de Camp AB L ER BAUM, with orders to halt there .until farther orders. I ,kid not yet advanced beyondflatiber, when re ceiVed the report tit Sawn Vluo.EsAc.a. was badly wounded,. and had transferred .the command to: Lientenant-Colonel Posse. '; Year Old Vigshngen met the head of our retreating Fel.,:m - n, and, soon,: after - found Colonel Passe~ closely engaged with'the Evenly. _ . " The lossofthis coin= was_not ineonsiderable:.. Baron POSSR was slightly wounded in the hand and . Itneel The battalion of Suderrrniand, which drove • the Enemy back with fi*ed.bayptiets, had abo,Ut or i.. wounded. . Io the mean time I sent an ,Aid de Camp. to.. Co) GUTS - Koi.V, in BaldekOw; with" orders to fall back t6 . stolpe,.which he.tiid. ' • In Cosenow, of.which the Enem.y.endeavoured to, render himself master., the condi& was uncont monly severe. • My six , pieces of cannon compelled the 'Eneiny't..4'ice to fall-back. We had sixlgieces of cannon and three howitzers, which tatter, by the numeiolis grenades they threw, caused more confu sion than mischief. " Finding that the Enemy was turning 'my left wing, and erecting a battery against it, I fudged it necessary to retreat to Hohenstein, where I had the honour to , make my report to your Excellew - y; through' the rnecliUm of iVidior Susßoci;::xot.rus, and at . the' same time required sorn brandy for the troops, , :vbb had n. - A. taken the )east food or refreshnient "since three o'clock in the morning. In this position I remainecluntil night-fall, with, out,being attacked by the enemy, and then fell hack to 'my. former position, near' Zietin, lest myltinii, should be turned, :during the night, by the nu-, merousiliorse of the Enemy. From - Anclain I received the report; that, with the e:xeption, of some sick, who co - ildnot be re moved, and. a,fe.w pipes of spirits,, every thing had been sent off irorp that city. " Near Stollie, I \vas joined - by two - battalionSi, and at Zietin by tour battalions of foot; about Go chasseurs, two squadrons , of dragoons, and one squa dron of hussars ; with founsix-pounders. With these .troops I hoped I should be able successfully to de fend, the strong .of Zietin, as I receLved se vet al reportS that the Enemy had barricaded himself on the Anclam road, and. taken up a defeniive po _ sition. " Not .being attacked by the enemy, nor seeing any probability.of _being so in that position, I left there all the horse and two pieces of cannon,• and sent the infantry to Scblatite •arid Itaugien, where the) , could obtain the provisiort*hich could, not be had at Zietin. • , . . _ • .Ipyself rewaineti in the above position, until the arrival of Cololvel Baron STAEL VON HOLSTEIN, who, by your .Excellency's order,, assumed t tae com mand. of my corps, in Consequence of the severe con tusion which 1 received the preceding day, and which disabled me from continuing any longer at the head.of that gallant column, which, composed of two weak squadrons, four battalions, and four pieces of caunon,.disputed with the elletilyi who was 19,000 men strong, with 15 pieces of cannon, for several hours, an extent of ground of four German miles, aPd there gloriously upheld the military fame of the 7.5 wedish army. ..,G.
