The grand duke of Berg encircled Erfurth on the

Were wounded and 6,000able bodied, have become
prisoners of war, among which1 fere the' prince of
Orange, field-marshal Mollendorff, bent, generals
Larisch and Graver, and major-generals Legave
and Svrtfel. A park of 120 pieces of artillery,
Well ftirnished, has also feHen into our hands. Eve
ry day they collect prisoners. , -
The king of Prussia sent an aide-de-cafnp to- the
emperor, with a" letter ih answer to that the empe
ror had wrote'to him before the battle, but which
the king of Prussia did not answer till after. This
step of the emperof Napoleon,-was similar to that
towards the emperor of Russia, before the battle
of Aiisterlitz. He said to the king of Prussia—: •'
: “ The success of my arms are not at ail uncer
tain—Ybmr troops shall be beaten, but it will cost
the blood of my children. If it Could be spared
by some arrangement compatible with the honour
of my crown, there is nothing I may not do to spare
so precious a blood. There is no honour, which
can be, in my view, more precious" than the blood
of my soldiers*

Kalkreuth, who commanded there, caused marshal
Soultto be told that an armistice had been conclud
ed. The marshal replied, that it was impostsi&e
the emperour could have committed so great a fault
—that he, would believe in the armistice when it
should be officially notified to him. Gen. Kalkreuth
expressed a desire to see Marshal Soulf,1 wife met
him at the advanced posts.—“ What more do you

to our generosity when they beembeen vanquished,
and a moment after have l'orgottin tEe magnanimi
ty which we have been accustomed to shew., jVftej
the battle of Austeilitz, the emperour granted ‘an
armistice to the Russian army—that armistice savy
* d it. IIow unworthy has ihc conduct of the Rus
sians proved. It is said they are returning; we
burn with desire to see them again. If they had
possessed as much generosity as ourselves, they
would have been tranquil, after the moderation vu
haveshewn. We haveinnowiseprovokedthfeunjust
war which you are making against us.> You declar
ed it wantonly ; the battle of Jena has decided the
campaign-r-onr business is to do you as much harm
as we can. Lay down.your arms, and I will wait,
in that situation for.the orders of the emperour."—‘
The old general Kalkreuth saw very well that Hi
had nothing to answer. The two geherals separted,
and hostilities recommenced a moment afterwards ;
the village,of Creussen was carried, the enemy rout
ed, and closely pursued. ' , u,. ?' , \ '
The grand duke of Berg, and marshals Soult and
Ney were on the 17th and 18th, to join by combin
ed marches and crush the enemy'. They will doubt
less have surrounded a great many fugitives* the
fields are covered with tlierft and the roads are en
cumbered with waggons and baggage of every kind.
Never was there a greater victory .signalized by
greater disasters. The reserve which prince Eu
gene of Wurtemberg commands, is arrived at Ilalle.
Thus we are but at the ninth day of thecaropaign,
and already the enemy is obliged to bring forward
his last resource. The emperour is marching to it ;
it will be attacked to morrpw, if it keeps its posi
tion at Halle. , T ’ !V ix £ ^
