are a good deal alarmed at the prospea which this

Tbie morning, Captain Doreille, Aide-decamp
to the Lag of irussia, passed through this city, as
Courier, on his way to Berlin. He is the bearer of
Ilia sefortunate intelligence, that. on the I erh, a
bard battle was fought between the Prussian anal
French armies, in tetrour of the latter. The parti-
culars, which I have been able to collelt with cer-
Wm/. I shall herewith communicate to you.
The plan el the principal army was to more from
• Weimar to Nanenberg, in order to occupy the Banks
df the Seale, 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 30,000 men in one column to Auetstadt, which
. be reached in the evening, and the Prussian army
• remained under arms the following night ; Prince
Holestalahe and General Ruche' followed with their
columns, estimated at 25,000 men, by two other
toads to Neuenburg. from Jena and Weimar, and
formed the right and left wing of the King's army.
• On the lith, at :even o'clock, Prince Holier:lobe

parte in person; and, about half an hour after,
about ball way between Auerradt and Nattmlnirg,
General Schmetten, who led the vs* of the King's
-column, was attacked by French light troops, who
were repulsed by the nussiaa cavalry. But as the
column pursued its march, and [eased by a town,
FP' the name of which I cannot state, with any degree
of certaiute, they saw a corps of 60,000 French
troops, under the orders of Generals Davoust and
Thrum, %War, from the darkness of the weather,
they had not before perceived.
This corps had crossed the Seale, and occupied a
1111
position between the Prussian armies and the high
road to Berlin. The battle began, on the Prussian
side,, by . divisions ; eight battalions, in particular,
attacked the French four times ; but, after a severe
contest, of three hours, they were at last repulsed.
At II o'clock, the King sent orders to General Ku-
.
chel, who hal not ye: acivanzed ter enough, to form
a line with the other two colama,, to ;oin the corps
of Prince Hohenloise, which suffered severely.
Notwithstanding the utmost exertions made by all
the Prussian troops engaged, the battle was cont.
pleely decided,in favour of the French, at halt past
three o'clock in the attetnoon. The loss in kitled
is 6.4 to be veer considerable on the side of the
Prursians, ecirecielly as the Prussian :artillery was
