conimanded the advanced guard of the Prussian
army was killed. Ile attacked the French, drove
them back over the Saale, and pueseed them to
some distance. The. French then received a re-,

Salton Cavalry was a principal. part, was defeated,
and the Prince. killed. The French were much
stronger ; Bernadotte was the General who com-
manded.
Yesterday evening apother estafette arrived, with
the certain and very agreeable intelligence. that the
Prince of Hohenlohe had completely defeated the
corps of Marshal Bernadotte. We are likewise as-
sured that yesterday must have been a very im-
portant day, as it was probable a general battle
would then be fought.
