AUSTRIAN BULLETIN.

Brn LIN, SEPT. 24.—We have just received the following official
intelligence from the head-quarters of the Graul Unite.l Army, con-
ceritiog the victory at Nollendort

Head-quarters, Toplitz, Sept. 19.
The Emperor Napoleon having united on the 16th instant a
great part of the remains of the armies which had been opposed to
Gen. Blucher and the Crown Prince of Sweden, with the Ist. '2d,
and 14111. corps d'armee, had advanced at the head of his guards to•
wards Nutiendurf. The statements of the prisoners, and more es-
pecially the preparations made-by the enemy, left no doubt remain-
lug, that it was his inteutiou to make a serious operation against Bo-
hemia, under the direction of the Emperor in person. For this
purpose, on the 16th at noon, he caused a column to file off from
Nolleudorf.

His Serene Highness the Commanding Prince of Schwartaenbnrg
had given orders.that all the advanced posts should WI back into the
position at (Alm. and their await the enemy. The villages of Ar-
'resat', Dense'', Prioitz, and J ulmsdorf, were relinquished to him.
A lively cannonade commenced. The corps of the Gen. of Aiiillery
Count Colluvedo and Mecrfeld defiled by the way of Gerona' Neu-
dorff and Reinitz on the left flank of the enemy, whilst Count Von
'Wittgenstein caused the Prussians, wider Gen. Von Ziethen, to
advance- in masses of infantry on the enemy's front. The enemy
showed continually more masses of soldiers ; and every thing for him
depended on his gaining *round to debouch. The cavalry of the
guard% attacked our bath!' ies w ith great resolution, whilst the
French masses of infantry kept 'iv a murderous fire on all sides. At
this important moment a squadron of Hesse Nurnberg hussars, sup-
ported by the brave Prussian Cavalry, cut into the tnemy's ranks
with the valour peculiar to themselves. The Austrian infantry nil-
lowed them with they utmost cosi:nt ss. The ens my was every where
forced back anti driven in the greatest disorder to the heights of
Nollendorl. The French CIVIL Krentzer, feVell pieees.of artillery,
and a standard, tell into our bands ; the number of prisoners taken
amounts to more than WOO men. A thick fog and the darkness of
the night preserved the enemy's columns from unavoidable &Arne-

It is said, that the Emperor Napoleon was in the midst of them ;
and, according to reports of the prisoners, he had a horse wounded
under
According to the French liNUctirs, the French army is victori
ols and advancing at all point'. The filet is, that it has for the
greater part lett the right bank of the Elbe, and has hitherto
three entleavono to penetrate into Bohemia, but which have all
been attended with destrneti,m of those advanced corps. All the
ii:telligence received concerning the condition of the French armies
in the Mineral liountains (Erzyabure) concur in stating, that they
sutler the most dreadlid privations, that they daily lose hundreds
of horses for want of forage, and that it supports itself on horse
flesh.
The three armies again fought on this day as fraternally united
and animated by the same spirit.
His Imperial Majesty, on the night aftt r the battle, sent to the
Gen. of Artillery, Count Coiloredo, the Coss of the Military
Order of St. George of the third class ; and to the Lieut. Field.
Marshal Alovs Von Lichtenstein, a gold sword of honour set with
diamond., and an inscription on the same.
According to intelligeore just received from Dantzic) the paral-
lels-befure that place are already opened.

. LieUtenant-Gencral Comit- trilmoden, having received inform'.
Lion that the Prince of Eckninhl had detached the division of Gen.
sPecheux to the left bank of the Elbe, passed the liVer at Domiti,
and in his march on the 16th fell in with the enemy. General
Pechenx had posted himself advatitageously on •the heights behind
Goerde. The cannonade commenced ; the attack made by the
tiraillem•s of Lutzow and Reiche, and the well combined moVemehte
of the colmnas of infantry, forced the enemy. to 'quit the heights,
and Corm en masse on the plain. At the very moment when our
columns bad got as far as the heights, the cavalry and the Cossacks
appeared on the enemy's left flank. Notwithsanding this, he made •
an obstinate defence, supported a very brisk 'combat with th
infantry, and repulsed several attacks of the cavalry. He was how-
ever, soon brought to give way by the artillery, a part of which fol..
to wed close after the infantry. The enemy bent., repeatedly at-
tacked by the infantry, and on several sides, w kited to hasten his
retreat; and from this moment, as both the cavalry and the
infantry fell on him, his disorder was complete. The enes
my's corps would have been totally destroyed, had not the in-
tervention of night, and the broken ground, saved a part of them.
The field of battle was covered withi the enemy's killed and wounded.
We have taken eight cannon, 12 ammunition-waggons, and a great
quantity of baggage. • The General of Brigade Mrilzinski, two of
Genet al Pechemes Adjutants, and upwards of 1000 men, are made .
prisoners. Even on the following day, prisoners were brought in
from all sides; so that the whole may amount to about 1800 men.
General Pechenz had lost horse, and escaped on foot. The re.
mains of his division are retreating in disorder on Bleckede, pursued
by the Cossacks under the command of Gen Tettenborn.
our loss consists of 30 officers and 400 men killed and wounded.
The MOON Von Lutzow, Firks, and Schasser, are wounded : Major
Deranx is killed. All the troops under Lieutenant-General Count
Von Walmoden havi vied with each other in zeal and bravery, ott
this day. The :Id regiment of the English hussars, the Orst of
the Legion, and several other battalions of the English and Russian
Legions, have highly distinguished themselves. The tirailleurs of
Lutzow and Reiche took the-first gun. • The English artillery and
rocket corps deserve the highest encomiums.
During this attack, the enemy advanced with some thousand men
on 11';itzealcerg, but without any effect. Gem Walmoden removed
his head-gum tors, on the 17t1. to Danneberg, to be nearer for eh-
serving that part of the Marshal Prince of Eckmnbl's corps d'annee
whieli had remained on the right bank of the Elbe.
The Grand United Army of Bohemia must have gained fresh
advantages, the official statements of which are expected. We
know, by private intelligence from' Licpsie, that in the evening of
the 161)1, tight thonsand cagalry; two thousand of which were dis-
'roamed and several dismounted; pieces of artillery, had arrived
there. The field-hospital had been- brought from Dresden to Leipsic,
and a part of it even as tar ar Mersebeig. • -
The want of forage at Dresden is so great, that for some time
past, 20(1 horses have daily died there.
General Thielmann has made a General, :17 Officers, and 1200
men, prisoners at Weissenfels. On the 14th, the Cossacks took, at
Wurtzen; a convoy of waggons laden with corn, which was destined
for the garrison of Torgoi, and was escorted by a Saxon battalion.
Col. Von Menzdorl has in tereepteil couriers, whose dispatches expose
the destitute and dispirited condition of the Freiall army.
General Blacker has his headquarters at Bautzen : by his right
wing lie eon:Miles his operations with those of the united army of
the north of Germany, and•by his left wing is conneeted with
the Bohemian army. On Inning received intelligence that the
enemy's 6th corps d'arm6e was marching on Grossenhayn. General
Windier caused die corps of General Sackett to move forward to
,Camenz. The vanguard of this corps disturbed the enemy the
whole of the 15th and 16th. The 6th corps (l'arm6e fell back
on Dresden, and the first cavalry corps put itself in motion to
follow the infantry. General Count Tanenaien was preparing to
pursue them.
The Wurtemberg General. Franquemont, had complained to Gen.
Delort, Cilief of the General Staff of the 4th corps, that his troops
were always in the van when advancing, and in the rear when re-
, treating.. That General answered him---', You mast he content
with its being so ; it is our interest that you should all be killed ;
for otherwise, yon would soon be at;oinst Us."
