P. S. Lim., Ten, a. m. March 11, IP.ll.—The attack continued
timing the whole of yesterday. The plain, below the city of Law),
is interspersed with villages and stria!! woods, which became. the
!COW of very warn] anti oh tinate colitests. A wood near the vil-
lage of Clary, on the right of the positinn, was taken'and retaken
four or live ditkrent time, and remained filially in possession of the
allied troops. The - infantry of Gen. IVirizingerode's corps, muter'
the command of Gem Woronzoff, were the troops engaged there:
in the centre and lett of the position the enemy maintained himself;'
and at about half an hour before sunset, he threw forward a body of
skirmishers, supported by two battalions of infantry- Ole rest of his
army remaining in restive), and attacked the village of Semilly
close under the u the. own : but a battalion, of Prussians;, of
(ten. Bultm's corps, threw itself into the road, and, supported
the tire of the troops on each flank, compelled him to retire in dis-
order and with loss. .
This was the last operation attempted during the day. •
The fires of his bivouark were apparent along a very extended
line, .at the beginning .of the night ; but in the morning it. was ob-
served lie had retired, and the cavalry of the advanced guard are at
this moment in pursuit of him towards Chavignon, on the road to
Soissons.
Thus, during two days of snecessive attacks, the enemy has ex-
perienced nothing butilefeat and discomfiture. The efforts of all
his force have been broken against, and recoiled from the bulwark
%thick this tine position ha; afforded.
The absyuce of the corps of D'Vork, Kleist, and Sackett which
were in the morning pursuitrg the remaindt r of the troops ;hat had
advanced from Rheims, and which could not be recalled in time,
prevented any active offensive operation Irving undertaken yester-
day. But success had crowned the efforts of these corps in other
respects, by the capture of between time and four thousand prison-
ers, besides a great ynantity of aninumition and baggage, and forty-
five pieces of cannon have been already brought in.
The intended future operations of this army have not yet been
promulgated; but I apprehend they will be altogether of au offen-
sive nature.

I have the honour to be, &e.
