measures that should be taken, without being able
to agree.
But while they are deliberating, the French army
continues its march. To this spirit of effervescent
' andexcessive boasting, critical observations begin to
succeed upon the inutility of the war ; the injustice
of breaking with France ' • the impossibility of being
assisted; the disaffefliunof the, solJiery, upon what
they have not done ; together with a thousand other
obseriations which are always in the mouths of the
• multitude, when Princes are weak enough to consult
them upon nutters of great political interest, which
are shove their reach.
'However, on the evening of the 12th, the scouts
of the French 'army were at Leipsie ; the head-
quarters of the Grand Duke of Berg are between
Zeist and Leipsic ; these of the Prince of Foote
Coven at Zeist; the Imperial head-quarters,
with the Imperial guards and the corps of the
army under Marshal Soule, are at Gerau ; Marshal
Ney's corps is at Neustadt. In the first line is the
corps of the army under Marshal Davoust at
Naumburg ; that of Marshal Lannes is at Jena.—
Marshal Augereau at Kale. Prince Jerome, to
whom the Emperor had confided the command of
' the Allies, and of a corps of Bavarians, has arrived
at Schleitz, after having blockaded the fort of
Culenbach with one of his regiments.
The enemy. cut off from Dresden, was still at,
Erfurt on the 11th, and endeavouring to coiled his
columns that he had sent towards Cassel end Wines-
burg, to aft upon the offensive, wishing to open the
campaign by an invasion of Germany. The %Venn,
upon which the enemy had raised balieries, the Seal,
which he also made a shew of der .ding, and the
other rivers, are all turned much in the same man-
ner as was praflised upon the Idler last year ; so
that the French army line the Banks of the Saul, with
their rear towards the Elbe, at the same time they
are marching against the Prussian army. which has
1 its rear towards the Rhine; a position so whimsical,
cannot fail in producing events of great import-
ance.
The weather, Since we comm•m:?d the preseni

mid the soldiers full of vigour and health. We

condition. However, the King of Prussia's inten-
tions have been carried into Jed : he wished that
the French army should evacuate' the territory of
the Confederation on the eth of October, and they
have evacuated it, but instead of repassing the
Rhine, they have passed the Said.

' Events suleeed each other with rapidity. The

ferried off, sad it is turned. Marshal Davoust ar-

SAXOPT, OCT. 16.
The day before yesterday a very bloody battle
was fought on the high road between Nabenburg
and Erfurt, 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
thellaal towards Weissensels and Nauenbneg had
induced His Majesty to alter the position of his
army. in order to prevent the enemy from advanc-
ing upon his rear. The headquarters afire rethepri
ed from Blackenburg, through Weimar, to Aner.l
ouch, while General Ruchel advanced to occupy
the position of Weimar. The attack was made tit
three in the morning, of the 14th, when a dread-
ful cannonade was heard at Leipzic, and that neigh-
bourhood, from Anerstadt. The attack was made
by the French, and the advance• of the Prussian
troops was prevented 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
misfortune to be wounded in the face by a grape
shot, in the beginning of the action, while he was
reconnoitring 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 troops in person, and hpd two horses shot under
him
Every Prussian General exposed himself to the
greatest dangers, and the Prince of Orange Fulda
distinguished himself in a most remarkable manner.
The murderous fire of musketry and grape shot
swept away whole ranks of warriors. The conflidt
lasted till five in the afternoon ; and, according to
the information received. Marshal Ney'edivision of
10,000 men, coming up freab, gave a decisive turn
'to the affair.
It was the cenere of bath armies which were par-
ticularly engaged. The Emperor Napoleon dire Red
the whole of the French operations.
The loss oar_ Seth sides cannot as yet be exadly
ascertained. The killed and wounded are generally
estimated at 40,0011me0.
Both armies have a number of Generals killed
and wounded; among the Prussians, Generals Mul-
lendore, Kalkretth, Ruche!, Blucher. and Pauen-
rein ; and on the French side, Prince Murat. Marshal
Bernadotte, &c. itepprts are very uncertain on this
head ; however it h well known that Marshal Mol-
kndorf and General Kalkreuth are no. killed.
The strength of the combined armies united is
computed at 200,000 men.
A part of the Prussian troops are retreating by
Langensaale. towards Magdeburg.
Ot Prince llohenlohe's corn' we have no positive
information. A part of the reserve, under the Duke
of Wirternhurg. passed through Leipsic on the 15th.
A number of wounded French have been brought
into Nauentrurg and its environs. Marshal Davoust;
according t 4 some accounts, is upon the march to
Dessau.
