of the movements upon the theatre of war may he
colland from the Foreign Papers, received in the
ci'iurse of last week. The Flanitip•pb Correspun-
,lenten of the 17th, received yesterday, following up
this iinerwtanrbhsiness, states, that by the Teti eat of
TAUENT.E*7t4 to Neustadt, the corps under Prince
Lotfislitsole•oo, which was stationed at !Ludo(.
math, upon the Saul, a little to the North of Saal-
feld, became the van of the Prussian left. It has
been inferred, from thp _reteggeade movement of
Veueweeves that the Prussians menu to of

ghat Central having wisely retreated merely in eel-
siequede of Ms weakness, and the greatly superior
force ef the meant %fought to bear upon that
point; and having probably seen that the °Neil of
Odle enemy was to cut fittni off: We find, actnrding-
Com Prince How as tone made preparations to
'oppose the farther advance of the French. An lir-
' lisle from Frankfort, ef the 11th, states, that he ad.
lanced into the territory of Bareuth, to make head
against Berteenbere, but that is not the fad.—
Ide, however, did advance from Gera, resolved to
attack the enemy in turn. For ethis purpn,e, the
corps of Prince Louis, amounting to about (000,
was ptished forward from Rudolstadt to Saalfefd,
with orders to defend the bridge over the Steal to
the last extremity, while the main (twee of the left
tying. under Prince HOHENLOMZ, attempted to turn
tape enemy. The French, amounting to above
20,000 men, attempted to force the bridge, which
was bravely defended by the Prussians. though
not enefourth of their number, for six hours,
when the gallant Prince Louis we; killed, and
his trocr,oi, by his loss, were thrown into mo•
nientary disorder. The account, indeed, says, that
the Prince, not content with defending the bridge of
Saalfeld, became the assailant, and this: defeated
the plan of Prince FICMIU LOH!, to turn the enemy.
In this affair, besides Prince Louis, the Prussians

lbst 1,530 men, and some ear.non. The loss of the
trench was more considerable. Ptince Louts was
die son of Prince AUGUSTUS FERDIN ASP., brother of
PREIIERICK the Gum. He was in his 34th year, and
Ms death is greatly regretted by the army. It WAS
evidently a report of these operations. from the Bth
Co the 10th, inclusive, which was received at ti,e
Hague on the 16th, published the next d.ty in the
Stale Carreto, and since become in 1.,.nd0n the sub-
jea of en mach exaggeration among the weak and
credulous. The If antbmtglt Corrttpentfruten, however,
assures ■s, that the business of Saalfeld has been
nobly avenged by Prince lion Eexone, who is said
to have defeated the right of the French, between
Schleiz and Gcra. The date of the anion is ten
mentioned, but it was probably on the llrh. The
tins of the enemy is stated at six thousand killed,
and fourteen thousand taken prisoners. The
success of Prince HUH L N LUISA is announced
in an article dated Berlin, the 15th, which states,
that the mews was publicly rc...ted in that city, in
. front of the house of the Governor, with tl.e addi-

don, that General Recisci. had a!sn defeated the deft
wing of the French. The Queen of Pat,ssis is also
said to have written a letter to the Hereditary P. ince,
'in which.she says," Itejnice, my son, Prince lois EN-
LOSS! has defeated the enemy." This vietory ap-
?ears to have been the result of an attempt On
The past of BxsaAD3TTs, to follow up his success at
Saalfeld. The account I he loss of the French is
probably an exaggeration, as, if true to its full ex-
•tenf, it Would amount to the almost fetal desttue-
ticn of Base ADOTTeIi corps. This part of the ac-
count of Hon IN Lonessuccess also comes from Dres-
den,which is ont of ,the way, and no official details
tad been received at Berlin. The same system which
the French were praßising on the Prussian left, the
Prussians appear to have carried into execution on
the left ot the French. We have noticed, snore than
once, that the Prussian right, under Roomy. and
Biomass, was seat forward toward; the Rhine.—
It is supposed that it was this corps that turn-
ed the left of the French, between Frank-
fort and Cassel, and took General AtlocitEaU pri-
soner. If these accounts be corps 1, the centre,
under Bon AAAAAA , at kis:lnch, must have been
placed in a most rcrlcras situating. It was
