Schenditz, Oct. 17, 1813.

My Lord,----The glorions arm y of Sile%ia has added another victory
to its list, and the brow of its veteran leaders i. decorated with fresh

Forty pieces of cannon, twelve thousand killed, wounded, and pri-
soners, one eagle, and many caissons, have been the fruits of the I,
victory of Bielefeld and Lindrnthal.
To rive your Lordship the clearest idea in my power of this bat-
tle, 1 Inu4t revert to the position of the armies of Silesia and the
North of Germany on the 14th inst. When we received certain in-
telligence that the enemy was withdrawing from the right bank of
the Elbe to collect in Leipsig, at this time the Prince Royal was at
Cothen, and General Blucher at Halle. 'fhe former occupied with
his advanced gnartls the left hank of the Mulda, and the latter Mer-
, fehnrg and Schendi tz.
General 'Blucher moved his head-quarters, on the 14th, to Gros
Kugel, pushiug hl4 advance on the great road to Leip.ig, and occu-
pying the villages on each side of it. The enemy was in force in his
front, still holding Deblitseli and Billet teld, with some troops aloeg
the Mulda. Tae Crown Prince of Sweden issued orders to march
to Halle in the night of the 141:1; but when his troops were in
march, he took up his head-gnarters at Sylbitz, and placed the
Swedish army with its right at Wittin, and the left near Peters-
berg. General Billow occupied the centre of his fine between Pe-
tersherg and Oppin, and the corps of iVinzingerode was on the kit
at Zorbig,
General Blucher found the enemy's forces, consisting of the 4th,
6th, and 7th corps of the newt' army, and great part of the Guard,
under Marshals M -amnia and Ney, and Ge:.eral Bertrand, occupying
a line, with their right at Freyroda, and their left at Lindenthal.
The country is open, and very favourable fur cavalry, around these
latter villages; but the enemy was posted strong in front of a wood
oome extent, near Radefuld ; and behind it the ground is more
intemeted; generally 'peaking, however, it is open, and adapted
to all arms.

The disposition of attack of the Silesian army was as follows :
The corps of General Lange:Am was to attack and carry Frey-
roda, and then Radeteld, having the corps of General Sachen in re-
serve. 'ilierorps d'rrinee ofGencral D' Yore!: was directed to move
on the great chaussee, leadin4 to Leipsig, until it reached the village
of Sitzelitra, when turning to its lett, it was to force the enemy at
Loi:leathal. The Russian grinds and advanced guard, well: to press
on the main road to Leipsig.
The corps of General St. Priest at riving from Merscherg, was to
follow the corps of General Langcrou. The formation of the cavalry;
and the ditlCrent reserves Was made on the open ground between the
villages. It was nearly mitl-day before the troops were at their sta-
tions—
The enemy soon after the first onset gave up the advanced vil-
lages, :and retired some distance, hut .enneimisly held the woody
•f,rtattitl on their right, and the villages el titos and Klein Wetteritz
as .d so the villages of Itiockern and Mi.kav, Ott tat it left. At
Alockern a most bloody contest ensued ; it was taken and retake,:
by. the corps of Yorck five titers; the uu fire was most gall-
ing, and this was the hottest part of the field ; many of the superior
officers were either killed or °molt d ; length the victorious
carried all befom them, and drone enemy beyond the
Martha. In the plain there were many brilliant charges of cavalry.
The Brandenburg regiment of hassars dist ingoisii:A itseif in a parti-
twlar manner, and supported by hifantry, ehaiged a battery ot eight
pieces, which they carried.
Tile enemy made an ob•tin.,:r resistance ako on their right, in the
riliages ot Great and Little Wetteritz Lchausen, and in the
woody groin' I around them ; and when they foiaid we had forced
their lot, they brought an athlitional iinnitier of troops on Count
Laiwerou, who was chi( fly engaged with Marshal Ne's corps, which
arrived from the neiglibour!:wal of Diboll. 114,wever, the Russians
equaily with their brave allies in arms, made the most gallant efforts,
and they ere fiitly successful : night only put an end to the action.
Tate Russian cavalry acted in a very brilliant manlier. General
Kelp's cavalry took a battery of thirteen 41:::s, and the Cossacks of
Venetia Emanuel) five. The cnetny uti towur& Siegetitz and
