LONDON, •TUESDAY, OCTOIZER 4 48, 1800. - Last night we received the Hartibursh Coirespnr denten of the 18th, but it does not bring any intelli gence respecting the Battle_ of the 14th, nor any authentic details of the Battle supposed to have been fought °tithe 12th or 14th, in which Gen.Souke9 Division is stated to have been cut off. We, there-, fore, still 'remain in a state of doubt respeeting the general result of _the Actions which have taken place. That the Battle of the, 14th, on the Plains of ... Weimar; was disastrous to the Prussians, -we '' , fear, cannot be denied ; but as to the extent of ttheir lass, or the immediate consequences which en sued. from their defeat, we yet remain in ignorance. If it be true that the 'right and left wing have. been so completely defeated as has been report ed, .BWAPARTE will WA. venture . to advance far with his - centre, becalm - his right would he left entirely expcised ,to the attacks of Prince UOLINLOHE, who, by the destruatio of General Sonia's corps, would 4e able to employ% great. part. of _his Troops in . reinforcing the centre of the Prussian Army. It seems now obvious, that . it was BC).NAPA'RT'S plan from the beginning to make his piincipal attack upon the centre of the Prussians,. ails iu order to facilitate hiS success,. he made de- monstrat.ions as it he meant to attack their wings, particularly the, left wing. 3is object-was to draw Prince .Ho HENLOHE to a distance from the Centre' Ofi' th& Pitissian'ArMy, while he direded the prin. cipal part of. his ,Foree against it. And we have no doubt that it, will appear, from the 'next ac counts, thet at the tune that •'Su s trur was :ad, vancing with a part -of the Fre - pelt right wing to Saalfiehl, that the remainder ,of - was ad vancing, by' forced marches, to join. the centre un det BPNAPARTE,- in order to give him such a pre=. pohdeicalice 'of force as would almost insure him a decided - .vidory over the centre of the Prussian Army. 'This plan seems iti.parCto have tailed, and in piivt to have succeeded. The, force with which SOVLT advanced towards Saaltield and Schleitz appears to have consisted,of about 20,00.0 me . en kit the serious attack had been intended in that quarter, the whole of the Frenchright wing, whicla:,ve believe consisted of near 40,000 inen, would of course have advanced), and he succeeded in dkawing off Prince flows.Nl4otut from the position he occapied near the centre of the- Prussian Army, and thereby enabled .410NA,PARTE to, attack it sucii advaatag,e. So tar BONArARTE'i Plan certainly succeeded; hut. it failed in a mo4ll material point, for General SOULT, whose only objea was to engage the ,attention of Prince- ithiAgNl.ol-41 until the attack upon the centre was made, was by the superior skill a that Prince forced lilt° a decisive 'action, and the whole of his .01-vision taken. 1 iiis-adr . , vantage we are convinced is equivalent to any th4t . • 119NAPART8 could have gallica in the ccuire, cause he cannot adVance without exp l using himself to :be taken in flank, or perhaps in the rear, by Prince Ho it iNLou E's Corps,. and by the who must, by this time, have arrived at the scene of aci tiou. It is to be observed, however, that this reason, ing'is founded entirely upon the supposition that the account of SouLT's I)ivision being ad killed or taker 4, prisoners, is cokrea.
