TENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. " NAUMBURGH, OCT: 18.—Among the sixty stand of eolours that have been taken at the battle -of Jena, are found several belonging to the King of Prussia's Guards, and one belonging to the Bo dy Guards, upon which the inscription is written in Frt nch. • • " The King of Prussia has demanded an Armi stice for six weeks. The Emperor answered, that it, was impossible after a viaory to give the Enemy time to rally. The Prussians, however, have so indus triously spread the report, that a great many of our Gederals having met them, were made to believe that this Armistice wa&aatually concluded. Mar shal &Dour, on the /*bib; arrived at Greussen, in pursuit of the column ‘4, here the King was, which is estimated at ten or twelve thotisang men. ,General KJO.Kileurrn, who Commanded it, caused it to be t,() Marshal Sours, that an' Armistice had 'been concluded. The Marshal replied, that it was impossible that the Emperor should have committed that error.; and that he would giVe credit to-the Ar mistice when it should pe announced to him offi cially. General KALKREUTH teStitied a desire to see Atarshal SoULT, who went to the adVanced posts - What would you have of us (said the Prussian General to him) tile Duke of BRUNSWICK. is dead; all our Generals are killed,' wounded, or taken ; the greatest part of our Army is put to - flight . ; your success Its been sufficiently great ; the King has . demanded a suspension of arms ; it. is impossible tliat your Emperor should not grant it."—" Gene ral (answered. Marshal SOULT), we have for a long time been thus dealt with. People appeal to our generoi , ity when' they are vanquished, and 'forget, 'the moment after, the magnanimity which we have been accustomed to shew. After the battle of Au- sterlitz, the Emperor granted an Armistice to the Russian Army : this Armistice saved the Army. Observe the unworthy.manner in which the Rusl sians have now acted. , It is said that they wish to .return : we burn with •impatience to. meet them again. If there had been as much generosity among them as among us, they would have left us to re -main in peace or last, after the moderation which we have shewn in the adst of victory. We have in cc) way' provoked the unjust War which you wage against us. You have' declared •it wantonly. The battle of Jena has decided the fortune of the Campaign. Our business is to do you all the injury we can. Lay down yosr arms, and I shall wait in this situation for the orders of the Emperor." The old General KA LKnEUTH saw well that he had nothing to say in reply. , The two Generals se parated, and hostilities rec=ommenced the moment after. The village of 6reussen was taken, and the Enemy routed and pursued with the sword at their backs. - • " The Grand Duke of tERQ, and Marshals SOULT and NEY should, in the marches of the 17th and 18th, reunite - by combined movements, and crush the Enemy.-They will, without doubt, have seen agonsiderable number of fugitives—the. plains are covered , with them, and their routes are encumbered with carriages and baggage of every sort. " Never was there a greater vielory signalized-by greater disasters. The reserve, "commanded by Prince EUGENE of,Wirtemyirgli,is arrived at Halle. Wc, are still only at -the ninth day of 'the campaign, and already the Enemy is obliged to carry forward his last resource.—The Emperor marches towards it. It will be, attacked to-morrow if it remains in its position at Halle. " Marshal DAvOusT is gone this day to take pos- session of Leipsic, and to throw a bridge over the Elbe. , The Imperial Horse Guards have at length joined .us. Independently of considerable maga tines found at Naumburgh, a great number have been found at Weis,enfels.- The General in Chief RUCHEL has been found in a village mortally wound ed. Marshal Sut vr has sent him his surgeon. It ityears, as if it were a decee of providence that all those who have pushed forward this war should be Aut off by the first blows that were struck." ELEVENTH Bt/LLETIN OF THE GRAN') ARMY. " MERSEBUR6II, OCT. q.—The number cif pri soners that have been made 'at Erfurth,. is more con siderable than. one would have believed.. The pass ports given to Officers who are to return home on their - parole, in Virtue of one of those articles of ca pitulation, amount to six hundred. - " The Corps of Marshal DAVOUST took posses sion of Leipsic on the i Bth. " The Prince of Ponte-Corvo, 'who was, on the 17th, at Eisleben, to cut off some Prussian columns, having learnt that the reserve of his Majesty the King 'of Prussia, commanded by Prince EUGENE of WIR -TEMBURGH, had arrived' at Halle, marchedf hither. After having made his dispositions, the Prince of PONTE-CORVO caused Halle to be attacked by Gen. DUPONT, and placed the Division of DROUET in re-' serve on his left : the 32d and gth regiments of Light Infantry passed the three bridges at the charg ins-pace, and entered this city, supported by the 96th. In less than an hour the Enemy was corn. pletely routed. The 2d and 4th regiments of Hus sans, and the whple Division of General RIVANT, traversed the city„ and chased the Enemy, from Fienitz, from Peissen, and from Nabatz. The Prussian Cavalry endeavoured to charge the Bth and 96th Regiments of Infantry, but were gallantly re ceived and repulsed. " the-Reserve of the Prince of Wirtemburgh was most completely routed, and pursUed for the space of four leagues. " The results of this combat, which merits a par ticular and . careful detail, are 5000 prisoners, of Whom tArb are Generals, and three Colonels, four stand of colours,, and 34 pieces of cannon,' Gen. DUPONT concluded himself in the mosvdiatieguiShed manner. The General of Division, Rout Er, had a horse killed under him. The General of Divi sicn DROUET has taken the. whole of the Regiment of Freskow. On our.side the loss does not amount to more than 40 men skilled and 200 The Colonel of the 9th Regiment of Light Infan, try has been wounded. General LEOPQLD' BER THIER, Chief of the Staff of the Prince of PosiT CORVO, has behaved in a distinguished manner. By the result of the combat of Halle there are no more of the Enemy's troops that have not Suf-,-. fered. ". The Prussian General, Brjrcfmn, with 5.090 Alen, has passed through the Division of Dragoons of Gen. litEfF, which had intercepted him. Having alledged to Gen. KLEIN that an Armistice had been concluded for six• weeks, that general had the sim pli:ity to believe him. ' {WONT ESGNION, the Orderly Officer near the person of the Emperor, who had.beeu.sent with a flag of truce to the King of Ptussia the evening be fore the \ battle, is returned. He has been carried along for several days with the flying Enemy. He pidures the disorder of the Prussian Army as inex l pressible. Nevertheless, on the .eve of the battle their boasting was unequalled. The question was about nothing less than , to cut off the French Army, and take from it columns of 40,000 men. The Prussian Generals aped, as much as they could, the manners of FREDERICK the GREAT. Althou g h we were in their country the generals' appeared to be in the most complete ignorance of our - move, ment4. They believed that on the little. Plain of Jena there were no.more' than 4000 men, n,d thatwhen the greatest partkrf the Army had spread over, that. Plain. " The Enemy's Army retreats ju considerab:i force upon Magdeburgh. It is probable that several co lumns will be intercepted befOre it arrives there " No news have been received for, several days from Marshal SOU LT, who has been detached with 40,000 men to pursue the Enemy's Artny.. ' " The Emperor has crossed the field of the hat- Ile of Rosbach. 'has ordered that the pillar, which bad been ereeled there should be transport ed to Paris. 'The head , quartera of the Emperor_ were, on the 18th, at Merseburgh. On the 19th he will be at Halle. Very considerable maga zines of every kind have been fosnd in the fatter city.", • TWELFTH BuLLETIN . OF TIIE GRAND ARMY. " HALLE, OCTOBER IR.—Marshal SOUL'' has pursued the Enemy even. to the gates of Magde burgh. several times the Prussians endeavoured td take a position, and were always routed. Consider able magazines have beets found at Nordhausen, and also a waggon of the King of• Prussia, filled with silver. During the five days. that Marshal SOULT has' been employed in pursuit of the, Enemy he has made 1200 prisoners, and taken - 30 pieces of c r arl-. non, and from 2 . t0.300 waggons • " The first object of the ampaign hifis been ac, complished. Saxony, Westphalia, and all the Conn, tries situated on the Left Bank of the Elbe, are re, lieved from the presence of the Prussian . Army. That Army, beaten. and pursued with the sword at its back for more than bgleagues, 'is at this day with, out artillery, without, baggage, without Officers, re duced below a third of what it was eight days ago, and, what is stiil worse than that, it has lost its dis tinguishing charader, and all confidenCe in itself. Two Corps of the French Army are on the Elbe, occupied in constructing bridges. : The head-Oar- . tern are at Halle. " The following letter, which has been intercept ed, contains a very detailed piCtiare of the situation of the . Prussians after the battle of Jena : TRANSLATION-(FROM THi GERMAN.), " illy . DAR WIFE—.I am still alive and well,. after having assisted at the unfOrtunate battle. But, alas ! I cannot help.infornaing you, that we hav6 lost in it the half of our Army ; 'as well no the whole of our best Generals. My battalion behaved perfe6tly well in the battle, but lost its cannon in the retreat. My Company alone lost 40 men, and Lieutenant SCHWEINNITZ. ,To give you a detail of all our triis fortunes would be. an endless task. All the baggage of our Carps and of the' Army has been taken at" Weimar ; even our servants could not save them selves. " I am arrived on the 16th, in tine evening, at Nordhausen, without a horse, and deprived of every thing.. l'he Army is in full retreat to Magdeburgh. Her Royal Majesty has received a bad contusion, but is still in good health. You may- tell Scuu- BERTEN that his eldest son has been killed, and, that it is not, known what is become of the other, or of JARUSCH, MtcHALzEctis and JOSEPH TYR' ALL.I..

The Duke of BRUNSiqQK has lost his eyes by a musket shot. RUCHEL and WINNIG are dead. A great many Regiments are without 'OfficerS. Others have Officers but no men. Our loss is immense. The're are no longer distinct Corps; every thingis pele mele. The Rattalions of LOSTIN, BORACK, and GRODANA, exist no longer. They formed part of the Rear Guard, which - has been entirely cut to pieces. It is impossible to form an idea of the eagerness with which the French have pursued us. You may write to me at the Di vision of the Army at Magdeburgh." , • 4. Nordhausen, Odtober 17." THIRTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. HALLE, OCT. 20.—General MACON; Com mandant at Leipsic, has made to the bankers, mer chants, and traders of that city, the subjoined Noti fication. " Since the Tyrant of the Sias will not respeal any Flag, it is the intention' of the Emperor to seize every where their, merchandize, and strictly to block them 'up in their Island." There were found in the 'Military magazines of Le;psic 15,000 quintals of meal, and a great quantity of other spe cies of provisions. The Grand Duke of BERG arrived at Halber stadt on the 1 eth. On the Moth be inundated the whole plain - of Magdeburgh with his Cavalry, even to the mouth 91 the cannon. The Enemy's troops, consisting of 'isolated detachments, were taken at the moment when they were endeavouring to en teF the place. A Regiment of the .Enemy's Hus sars, believing that Halberstadt was still occupied by Prussians, were charged by the 22d Kussars, and lost 300 men, ".General BEAUMONT has taken 600 men of the King's Guard, and all the equipage of that corps. Two hours before, two companies of the Royal Foot Guards were take by Marshal SouLT. I.,ieut. General Count DE SCIIMETTAU,Who had been taken prisoner, has died at Weimar: • Thus of this superb Army, which a few days since threatened to invade the confederation of the pdtine, and which inspired its Sovereign with Bach confidence, that he dared to order the Emperor NAPOLEON to quit Germany before the Bth of Oc tober, if he did not wish to he constrained by force-; . of this superb Army, we say, there remains nothing but the wreck—rap unformed chaos, which merits • rather the name'of a mob. than hat of an Army. Of 160,000 men, , whom the King of Prussia had, it would be difficult to unite More than 59,000, and those without artillery 'and without baggage, partly armed and partly, disarmed. All these events jtis tify what the Emperor said in his first Proclamal tion, in which he expressed himself thus :—" Let them learn, that although it is easy to -acquire•an in crease of dominion and of power by means of the friendship of a great people, its enmity is more ter- Obit! than the tempests of the ocean." ". Nothing, 'indeed, resembles more the present state of the Prussian Army , than a shipwreck. It -was a fine iißd numerous Fleet, which pretended to Utithing less than to sweep, the .seas;, but the it'll p4tnous north wind has raised the ocean, against it. :There only returns to, port a small part of the crews, who have only found - security by saving themselves upott•the wreck. The subjoined letters truly de, piet the situation of affairs. Another letter, abo subjoined, chews in what respe& the Prussian Cabi 'pet Was duped by false appearances. It took the moderation of the Emperor NAPOLEON for weak ness. Because that Monarch did not wish for war, and did every' thing that could be' suitably doni to * avoid it, it was concluded that he was not prepared, and that he wanted 200,000 conscripts to recruit his Army. • " The French Army ; however, was na longer cooped up in the camps of Boulogne—it was in Germany ;:and M. CHARLES L. DE tIESSE, and D'l-140cW174, might have counted It. We Tecogni4e,.therefore, the will of that Providence, which leaves riot to our Enemies' eyes to see, ears to, hear, or judgmeot or reason to guide . their conduat. • • "it appears that M, CHARLES L.

Why not the other places to the Easiof France ? us, then, no longer, • that the ambition of the French forced you to take Up. arms ; confess that it was your own ill-judged ambition that has excited you to war. Whilst there was a French Army in Naples, and another iu nalmatia.„ you projeEted to fall upon the great people ; but ict seven days your projects' have been coutbunded. You wished to attack 'France without running any risk, and already you . hfie ceased . to exist. It is Stated that the ;Emperor NAPOLEON, having, before he quitted Paris, assembled his Mi.= nisterS, said, to them," I am innocent of this war; I have done,nothing to provoke it ; it did not entcr into my calculatiOns. Let: tne . be defeated if it is of my *making. One of the principal motives of the confidence which I have that my enemies Will be destroyed, is, that I see in tlreirconduCt the ringer of Providence,. who, wishing that traitor& may be punished, has so far set aside all wisdom in their Councils, that when they design to attack me at the moment of 'weakness, they chose t.t.w very instant 'when I am, strongest."

" In spite of the authenticity which this report appeared to derive, I was not able to see the least trace of fire on rising, and at the hour stated we saw nothing of any French troops. It is certain, -how. ever, that they followed the rear guard very closely; for the day before yesterday, in the evening, Gen.
