Mr. T. GRENVILLE then rose and said, that
from the situation which he now held, it became Lis

tee the nee sss $ y Naval Supplies proposed to be

circumstances in the Estimates which he deemed
necessary to lay before them, that differed from
those of the preceding year; he.did not deem it
necessary to detain the Committee with preliminary
wisp-veil:ins. He should confine himself entirely
to stating, that what he had to propose to the
House, as to the Dumber of men to see,' is His

ken content with this, Prince Louis, with his 6 or
, 7000 brave followers, resolved to obtain still greater
advantages. Regardless of the great superiority of
the enemy, and the destrudive fire, which made ,
great havoc among the Saxons, he repeated his at.
tacks till he himself and his corps fell vidlims to his
temerity. A French subaltern °Ricer of hussars
struck the royal hero from his horse ; he died a
glorious death, which spared him the pain of the
subsequent untoward events. The French took en
this occasion 30 pieces of cannon. General von
Trutzsehler, with a few of his men, were alone so
fortunate as to cut their way through the enemy.
These losses, sustained on the very first day on which
the curtain of the great military drama was drawn
up, had a very unfavourable influence upon the Fate
of the Prussian army. They diminished the confi-
dente and ardour of the troops, deprived them of the
means of subsistence, and placed the army in a very
critical situation. For, in proportion as the two
wings of the French advanced, Napoleon had push-
ed f Itward the centre beyond Gera.
The Marshals Lannes and Augereau occupied,
with the left wing, the ground, quitted by the Prince
of Hohenlohe. While they were at Jena and Kahla,
the right wing of the French inundated the ►eauttful
plains of Saxony, which were completely expo►ed
to the very gates of Dresden, covered the
whole road from Gera to Leipzig with hus-
sars and chasseuis, and extended its advanced
posts to Weissenfels and Natimburg, wliere
another ♦aluable magazine fell loth the hands
of Marshal Davoust. This rapid progress of the
right wing of the French, forced the Prussian army
into a situation, the perplexities of which are thus
described by Napoleon in his third bulletin. dated
the 13-h of °Rohm :—"• The Weser, whore the
Lenemy had ereled batteries, the Saalo, which he
likewise designed to defend, arts) all the other rivers.

Cited, was, and t the present circumstances, extin-
guish •d. 'foe Prussians, suirounded and cut off
from Dresden, began to be greatly in want of dro •
visions, and what was wore, of ammunition and
military stores. Cooler observers likewise disco-
vered a want of that steady unity of plan, by which
alone a mau can be moved and guided. It is also
said, that, on the moron% of the battle, when a
4hick fog favoured the attacks of the French, the
i
plan was essentially altered by the Doke of Bruns-
' wick, and thus, in the very first instance, confusion
was inevitable.
So much the greater was the unity in the move-
ments oldie force under the diredion of Napoleon.
He formed the design of terminating the war by
a tingle blow. At Marengo he conquered Italy 1
at Ulm, Vienna:: and now a single day was destined
to open to him the gates of all the fortresses of
Prussia. Whether a less powerful military state. a
General not so inexhaustible in resources, should
have adopted such a plan. and have placed the
fortune of the whole campaign on the uncertain re-
sult of a few house, is. aWyenftiOn, which it belongs
not to an historian to resolve. Humanity must re.
joke when one battle drills what formerly was the
result of many bloody engagements. With this
mode of fighting, peculiar to the Emperor Napo-
leon, none of the destruflive battles of the seven
years war can be compared. Every campaign war
then produaire of several others, which were at fart
without any decisive issue. Antiquity alone affords
circumstances for a parallel. Thus Cyrus. in the
single battle of Sinope, conquered the kingdom of
Cretins, in Asia Minor; thus Cambyses, at Pclu-
sium, subdued Egypt, and the whole known pot.
Lion of Africa; thus Philip of Macedon destroyed,
at Cherenea, the liberties of Greece ; thus Alex-
ander, at Gangamela. overthrew the' Persian Mo-
mently of Darius; and thus Oaarius. at /idiom,
secured the dominion of the world, the sove-
reignty of which he contested with the unfortn-
nate Anthony.
The t a•h of Ofloiser is an extremely unpropitious

army. Far more severe was the lass sustained by '
the grandson of Frederick's brother, on the 14th 91
Dauber in the present year. His army, after it had I
been turned, had adyaneed in a different direaion
towards the' French. The King's head-quarters,
which had proceeded from Erfurt to 13Iankenhein,
were removed north Ward to Auerstadt ; the right
wing, commanded by Lieutenant General Von
Rachel, supported itself ttpon Weintar, and on the
left was the Prince of Hohenlohe. Thus the
i Prussians formed a line from Hassenbausen, op-
posite kfaumburg, by Auerstadt and Weimar, to
I Capellendorf, the strength of which was certainly
1 otter-rated.by the French, it nearly 130,000 men.
; The matelial force on each side was nearly equal,
but nor so were circumstances and positkrnt.
1 On the 14th, before the morning dawned, the
French rushed forward to take possession of all the
eminences in the vicinity of Jena. They hid taken
advantage of the ipg, and meted covered batteries,
under the proteltion of which they extended over
the plains, the approaches to which were occupied 1
by the Prussians, with a view to make an attack on
that quarter. About six (English) miles from Jena
the two armies met. A most violent attack on the
Pru-sian left wing, under the Prince of Hohenlohe,
commenced the engagement, which became genera)
when the fog dispersed. Immediately afterwards
the centre was likewise attacked at Camellendosfe la
the plain between the first Saxon post-town, Auer-
staia, and the village of Dornburg. 'Twas here that
the reigning Duke of Brunswick commanded.
T•is heroic General led on his troops in person, re-
eardl.-as of his venerable age, his high station as
Commander-in-Chief, and the importance of his
safe.y for the whole army. At seven in the morn-
ins, before he could complete the regulations for
he bloody day, he received a musket-ball, which
J. priced him of his sight fur ever. He had, it is
said, the plan of operations in his pocket, and took
it away with him, when he was carried senseless
.tom the field of battle.
The early I,)SS of the unfortunate Prince who bad
the direettun of the Prussiao forces, produced a con-
fusion, the consequences of which the venerable
Field Marshal vuu Mollendarf, by whom he was re-
laced, was utterly incapable of preventing. The
Prussians now fought without plan, according to
the jud.ment of the individual Commandors.. Such
A mode of resistance was not calculated to with-
stand the regular attacks of the French army...-
The centre of the Prussian army was thrown into
confusion. and the Prince of Hohenlohe was obliged
to give way with the left wing, whose retreat was
covere I by the brave Saxon cavalry. Marshal I . ) 4..

the corps of the Prince of Hohenlohe. The flower
of the Prussian and Saxon cavalry was driven into
the hollow of the Muhl valley, near Jena, and suf-
fered so exceedingly from the unfavourable nature
of the ground, and the general disorder, that it was
almost totally cut in pieces or taken prisoners The
engag recent was particularly bloody in the vicinity of
the village of Capellendort The French ha)l crated
a masked battery on an eminence on. the other
side of the villan-, and while the burning houses aft
forded them pr tnnion, they attacked with musketry
the line which remained, for some hours, in the
midst of this fire. The cannonading was heard
throughout a circumference of nearly 100 miles; it
was continued from early in the morning till even-
ing, and was dreadful beyond description.
What an effea must have been produced by the
7 to 800 piece. of cannon, which, supported as the
French account states, by between 230 and 300.000
men, dealt destruCtion over every part of the narrow
and intersected ground! The Prussians had ear-
., tautly more artillery than the Freneb, but their am- ,
munition soon failed. Their powder is said to have
been wet through, and of such bad quality. that
the balls had no force. The French, nevertheless,
fell in whole ranks, especially before the eminences
snrrounding Jena. which were obstinately defended.
In the defiles, at the foot of them. were posted
Prussian Jagers, while the middle and summits
were occupied by a numerous artillery, which kept •
up an incessant fire. The French grenadiers, how-
ever,•fastening their knapsacks to their hats and
helmets, ascended these eminences. If they mani-
fested a cool contempt of death, the Prussian army
also exhibited many instances of heroism ; of which
Frederick William the 111. himself, set a brilliant
example. The Monarch manifested the greatest
personal bravery, amid the hottest fire; and after
several horses bad been shot under him, he plated
himself at the head of a brigade of cavalry, for the
purpose of making a new attack.
With thew exertions, especially of the Pntssian
cavalry, the issue of the crinflia could not have been
the total iniu of an mellow army. had not the

onexPeaed arrival of twit fresh divitious of
corps .under Marshal Key, completed Ye dissint
of the Prussians. 1 hese two divisions of infanti y,
which had seen marching ell r4ht. and ....Lose

about noon into the ranks, when the contend.

of Dessaix, with 10,000 men, docitle4 the bathe of
Marengo, so this new reinfoaaentent of 10,000
fresh troops, on this ',cession, gave the via..ity.
The; disorder which prevailed in particular among
s
the Prussian' infantry, rendered the dhpn.4t;nn
retreat, according to the rules of art. utterly impos-
sible. It was a total rout, welch was still farther
increased by the attack ot the Frenas cailthji which
now fist came into anion, under the Grand Doi.:
of. Berg, and was necessarily attended ;;th 411(11':
