NOTE ADDRESSED TO. GENERAL KNOBELSDORFF BY THE PRINCE OF BENEVENTO, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DATED SEPT. 'll. "The Undersigned Minister of Foreign Affairs is charged, by the express commands of the 'Emperor and King, to make known to his Excellenty M.'DE KNOBEIADORFF, that according to fresh intelligence received from Berlin, dated the first days of Septem- , ber, the garrison of that town had. quitted it for the frontiers ; that all the armaments seem to be ?going on with double adivity ; and that they were public ly represented at Berlin even as directed against France. The dispositions of the Court of Berlin have the more surprised his Majesty as he was far from foreseeing. them either from the mission of M. DE KNOBELDDORFF, or from the letter of his IVlajesty the King of Pwssia, of which he was the bearer. " His Majesty the Emperor and King has ordered new reinforcements to be sent to the Army, pru dence dialated to him to put himself on his guard against a plan of aggression as unexpeCted as it would be unjust. " But it would be always a sort of violence to him telf, and contrary to his most sincere wishes, to see hirnselt forced to unite the forces of his Empire. against a Power which nature'herself has destined to be the friend of France, since she had conneaed the two. States by a community of interest before- they were united by Treaties. He pities the inconsider ateness of the .Agents Who have Concurred in caus ing to be adopted, as .useful and necessary, .the mea viures taken by the Court of Berlin. But his senti ments towards the King of Prussia have , been Cher changed nor weakened, nor never will be, while hiS Majesty is not compelled to believe that the ar maments of PrtisSia are the result of a system of ag gression concerted with Russia against France'i and when intrigues shall cease which have been carried . lon'under so many forms, .so many' ways, and in ot-- Jer to inspire the Cabinet of Berlin with prejudices against its best Ally—when it shall no longer me= mace a nation . by preparations, which, to the 'present' hour, it has not been thought easy to intimidate, his Majesty the EMperor will regard this moment as a most happy one both for himself and the Kit; of Prussia. He will be, the first to cotinterrokirld the movements of the troops which he has been under the necessity of ordering—to suspend , armaments -Which are ruinous for his treasury, and to renew the. relations between the two States in all their inti macy. It is'certainly satisfa&ory to the mind ot his Ma jesty, not to have given, either directly or indire&- ly, occasion to the misunderstanding which seems ready to burst forth between the two States,. and to be in noways responsible for the result of this extra ordinary contest, having never ceased constantly to make, through the organ of his Minister at Berlin, such declarations as were calculated to thwart the intrigues, which, notwithstanding ,all his cares to the contrary, prevailed at that Court ; but it is at the same time subje..d of serious reflection and pain to his Majesty, .that when the alliance of Prussia seemed calculated to permit him to diminish the number of his troops, and to dire& the whole of his force against the common enemy, Who is also the enemy of the Continent=--it is against his Ally that be is now obliged to take precautions. " The last accodnts from Berlin greatly diminish ing the hope whiCh the Emperor founded upon the mission of M. DE KNOBELSDORET, anfl the letter of Lis Majesty the •King of Prussiaand seeming to confine the opinion of those who think that .the armament of Prussia, without any previous eXplana-' tion, is the consequence and first 'developement of a system combined with the enemies of Ifrance—hiS Majesty finds himself obliged to give to his prepa rations a general, public, and national charader. But, 2t the same time, lie wishes the Uncle' ;igned to de clare, that even after the publicity of the extraor dinary measures to which his .Majesty has been obliged to recur, he is not the less disposed to believe, that the armament of the Court of - Berlin is the re sult of a misunderstanding produced by lying reports, and to' return, when that armament ceases, to the iysterinof good understanding, alliance, and amity, which united the two States. (Signed) " CH. MAUR. TALLEYRAND." DOPY 'OF •THE NOTE OF M. DE KNOBELSDdRFF TO THE MINISTER'• FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DATED PARIS, SEPT. 12, 1806. " The Undersigned, sensible of what import ance' it is immediately to reply to the Note which his Excellency the Prince of BENEVENTO, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has done .him the honour of ad dressing him this evening, is obliged to confine him self to th e f o ll ow i ng oservations. The motives which have induced the King, my master,. to aim, have been the effet of a conspiracy of the enemies of France and Prussia, who, jealous of the intimacy 'which reigns between these two Powers,, have done every thing possible to excite alarm by false reports from every quarter at once. (We insert the words of the original : [" Les motifs, que ont engage le Roi mon Maitre a faire des annemens, 'ant ete Velfet d'une trance des Ennethis de la France et de la Prusse, qui, jaloux de Pintimite que refine entre ces deux Puissances, ont fait l'impossible pour alanner par de faux rappOrts,- venus-a-la=fois tie tous cotes.” 3 . - " What particularly proves. the spirit of this mea -sure is, that liis - Majesty has not concerted it with .. - sooner at Paris than at Vienna, Petersbnrgh„or Lon don.

The report of the interesting conversations which His Imperial Majesty condescended to hold with the Un dersigned and the Marquis LI:CCHESIIII could not yet have reached Berlin.

DETAILS, OF THE BATTLE OF JENA. . --- " JENA, OCT. 15.—The Battle whi c h was fought yesterday, near Jena, will form an epoch in history. The . Prussian Army. amounted to 150,000 'men : they have lost C2,eo pieces of cannon, 30 standards, and 28;000 Prisoners. The Duke of BRUNSWICK and' Gen. RUCIIEL are both killed, and Prince HENRY of PRUSSIA dangerously wounded. , A great -number of Prussian . ; Generals and Officers are likewise wounded.' " The loss of the French is much smaller : there are 1200 wounded in thehospital of Jena, and A5OO in that of Naumbotirg ; and among the killed only one General, the. General of Brigade DE BILLY, a soldier full 'of courage. The French Cavalry is.co, vered with glory. _ _ Marshal DAVOUST stopped the Enemy at the defiles of Koesen, and before ,Nauenbigg ; he fought the whole day, and.routed mor e tha n 60,600 men, commanded by Generals MOLLENDORE, KALKREUTH, and the KXNG of I?RUSSIA in person. This division gained the highest glory. In short, all the troops contended with each other for bravery and courage. The divisions of Marshal LANNES, SOULT, N.EY, and AUGEREAU, were all equally en gaged, and equally, acquired the greatest 'horio:ir. The QUEEN of PRUSSIA, pursued. by a Squa dron of Hussars,:. fled on the side of Weimar. She left that place only three hours before our Troops' took : poSsession of it. As she took flight in the di reetion where there are many of our Troops; it .is still very possible she may be takenprisoner. " The divisions.of the Cuirassiers 310 Dragoons could not arrive.before the end-of the flay. They broke several square battalions of 'the Prussians, and made them priSoners.. • The Grand Dulce of BERG' was constantly at their head. , • " Our troops arrived in the .evening at Weimar, pursuing the rear-guard.ef the left wing of the enb my:. Marshal :DA vous.r pursued the right wing as far as Neustadt ; he has this morning established his bead quarters at: Likardsber,g. It is thought the enemy.are trying to colle& them Selves on the side of Eraukenhausen, in order to gain. Magdeburgh. " The loss of the Enemy must have been enor mous; we can hardly know it for some ,time to come : six of their Generals, and a great number of Colonels,.are Prisoners of War. • " Lieutenant-General of the Staff', . 44 S.

IT is this day our painful duty- to submit to our Readers Extraas from the French, Dutch, and Ger man Papers, that arrived last night, which fully Confirm the melancholy intelligence of the complete defeat of the Centre of the Prussian Army. The ac counts of this fatal Battle are so confused, find in some instances so contradialoiy, that we are yet unable to form. an accurate judgment of the extent of the loss sustained by the Prussians„ or of the consequences which may result from their defeat. All that we know with certainty is, that the Battle was fought with almost unparalleled obstinacy for 14 hours, and the result was decidedly in favour of the French. There is reason. to hope that the re mainder of the Prussian Army was enabled to effeft its retreat in , tolerable order towards Magdeburgh but almost all the Prussian Generals of eminence were wounded. We are sorry to add, that we do , not find, in any of.the German Papers, any.confir mation of the report of the deCisive viEtory said to have been obtained by Prince HOHENLOHE over General.SOULT, nor is there any account of the ar rival .of the Russians. We are 'preventea; by the great length of' the Extraas we have made, from making any further, observation at present upon this disastrous intelli- gence.

OCTOBER 21. BERLIN, Oci. 18.—Adairding to some prelimi nary infortuatlOYl, the Ahny of His' Majesty. the,; King has lost a battle on the . 14th, nearAuerstadt. Tile particular details are not yet known; but we are assured that, his Majesty and his Brother are alive and unhurt. . , SAXONY, Ocr. 16.—The clay before yesterday a very bloody battle was fought on : the high road be tween Nauenburgh and Erfurth, by the French and Prussian Armies, in Which the fortune of war was on. the side of the French. The march of the French Troops along the Saal towards. Weissenfels and Nau enburgh, had in'duced his Majesty to alter the posi tion 'of his army, in order to prevent the enemy from advancing upon. his rear. The head-quarters were removed from Blacken burgh, through Weimar, s to Auerstadt, while Gene ral RUCHEL advanced to occupy the position of Weimar. The attack was ,made at three' in the' morning, of' the 14th, when a dreadful cannonade was heard at Leipzic, and that neighbourhood, from Auerstadt. The attack was made by the French, and the advance of the Prussian troops was prevent ed by some defiles which were in possession of the Enemy. Both sides fought with the greatest courage and animosity. The Duke of BRUNSWICK had the mis fortune to be wounded in the face by a grape shot in the beginning of' the aetion; while, he was recon noitring.the -Enemy with a telescope ; and it was found necessary to remove his 'Highness from the field. The battle, however, was carried on with the greatest spirit. His Prussian Majesty led , the. Trqops in person; and had two hotses shot under Every Prtissian General exposed himself to the greatest dangers, and the Prince of ORANGE FULDA distinguished himself in a 'Most remarkable man ner. The murderous ,fire of musquetry and grape-shot sw: --, pt away whole ranks of Warriors., The conflift ' lasted till -five in the afternoon • and, according to the information received, Marshal .NEy's ,division of 10,000 men; coming up fresh, gavea decisive' turn to the affair. • It was the centre of both armies, which were par ticularly engaged. The Emperor NAPOLEON di re&ed the whole of the French operations. . The loss on both sides cannot as yet' be etacaly ascertained. ' The killed and wounded are generally estimated at .40,00 men. Both 'armies - have . a number Of. Generals killed and ,Wounded ; among the Prussians, Generals MOL LENDORF,' KALKREUTH, RUCHEL, BLUCHER, and ,TAUENZEIN and on the French side,. Prince Mu- RAT, Marshal BERNADOTTE, BC. Reports are very uncertain on this bead ; however.it is well known that. Marshal MOLLENDORF and General Ic.ALiCREUTH are not killed. The strength of the Combined Armies United is computed at vOO,OOO men ) A part of the Prussian troops are retreating by Langensaale, towards Magdeburgh. ' Of Prince IL.:HELonc's corps we have no posi tive informal ion. A' part of the Reserve, under the Duke - of IiVIRTEMBLIRGH, passed through Leipsie ott the 15th. A number of wounded French have been brought into Nanenburg and its environs. Mar shal DAVOUST, according to some accounts; is upon the march to Dessau. :40TIIER LETTER FROM SAXONY,i OCT. 16.
