French Troops have this day marched through Furstenberg for the ravel. The report that French Troops have already en tered Swethsh Pomerania is without foundatiOn. Her Majesty the QUEEN of Pau - ssta is at present at Grandenz. We are assured that the Corps,of Prince HoitEN LOA E has arrived at the Odor with some loss.- According to several advices; a large Russiab. Army, in several columns, is on its march for the Oder. On the 31st of October the Corps of Marshal SOULT, consisting of 36,000 men, passed the Elbe at Taligerrnunde. • • On iiie same day Marshal SouLT, in pursuit of PrusSian 'columns, attacked, at Nordhausen, a corps of 15,00 men, which was endeavouring to gain . Magdeburgh, entirely defeated it, took 4000 pri- soners, 30 pieces of cannon, and \ ammunition, waggons. He pursued the remainder of the Prus sian Army to the gates of Magdeburgh. The following is the Account of the Battle of Auerstacit, given in the Stockholm Gazette, which arrivcAl too late f r insertion. Yesterday. The plan of the Prussian Army was to move from Weimar to Naumbmgh, in order to . occupy the Banks of the Saal, and then to ,cover Berlin.' With this view the King of Prussia broke up his Camp. near Weimar 'on the 13th in the morning, and marched with 50,000 Men in i coltamn toAnerstadt, -which he reached in the evening, and the Prussian army remained under arms the following night.— Prince HOHENLOHE and General RUCHEL followed with their columns, 'estimated at 25,000 men, by two other roads to Naumburgh, from Jena and Wei-; mar,. and formed the right and left wing of the King's army. On the 14th, at seven o'clock, Prince nOHENLOHE fell in with French troops, command td by BONAPARTE in person, and about half an hour after, about half-way between Auerstadt and Naum burgh; General SCHMETTAU, who led the van of the King's column,, was. attacked by light French troops, 'who were repulsed by the Prussian cavalry ; bUt the column pursued its march and passed by a town the name of which I cannot state with any degree of certainty; they saw a corps of 60,000 French troops, under the orders of Generals DAVOUST and Daouvr,. from the dal ness of the weather, they had not before perceived. This corps had crossed the Saal, and, occupied a position between the Prussian armies and the high road to Berlin. The battle began en the Prussian side by divisions; eight battalions, in particular, at tacked the French four times, but after a severe •contest of three.,hours, they were ,at last repulsed., ,At eleven o'clock• the King sent orders to General RUCHEL, who had. not yet advanced far enough 6 . form a line with the other two columns, to join the corps of Prince HOHEItia.OIIE, which' suffered se verely. Notwithstanding'the utmOStexcrtions were made by the Prussian troops engaged; the battle was com pletely decided in favour of the crunch at half-past three o'ciock in the afternoon. ThFtless in killed is saielLti)be very considerable on the "s*, of the Prussians; , „especially as the PrUssian artillery wds of very little — use, while,. on ,the contrary, the Freneb. was in comiilete order from the very beginning of the battle. The KING of H PRVSSIA, who exposed himself very much, as well'-as his two brothers, had two horses killed under lin ) and each of his brothers one. The Duke of BRuNswiCK received a severe contu sion on both his eyes by a;' . grape-Shot. Gen. Rti- CHEL was shot' through the "star. of .the Order he wears, but his wound is not mortgr's..,, General ARMIN is killed ; several other Ge-• nerals are either wounded, or slain. The artillery and baggage fell; for the . most part, into the hands., of the French. The Prussian army retreated that day to Frankenhausen, and there received orders to rally near Nordhausen. The French army, which has also sustained a con siderable loss, and 'which, according to the. most: credible accounts, was 180,000 strong, consequently double the number of the Prussians, had already advanced from Weimar on the .14th, in the evening, having set fire to the town. Schleitz, Auma, Geran, Saalfeld, Rudolstadt, Auerstadt, Naumblirgh, and Zwickau,, have shared the same dreadful fate. The Prussian magazines established in those places are. : . said to be all destroyed. In consequence of the above intelligence, the Court is to remove to Stettin and thence to Custrin. All valuable articles are packed up in the capital. r -1,4% •,~;, NA VA .L NEWS. PORTSM9VTIT,' NOV. 10.--Arrived the Sprightly Gun , brig, Lieut.' GOE.DO N, froni a -Cruize.
