A.dispatch of which the following is a Copy, has been received by Nis-.

His Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to
the Court of Prussia, dated _ . _

Head-quarters, Wurtzen, May 15,1813.
My Lonn,—The allied army passed the Elbe on the 9th inst. The
head-quarters of the Emperor were established at Bishotiswerder : Gen.
WittgetAtem, with the main body of the army. marching on the great
roads leading towards Bautzen. The corps of Gen. Blucher passed tbe
Elbe at Dessau, to watch the enemy's movements.
It was riot accurately ascertained upon what points of the river the
enemy was directing his principal corps : and as he possesed the appui
of Wittenburg, and it seemed uncertain what line the Saxons would bike
at Torgau, your Lordship will easily imagine it would have been difficult
if not impossible, with the aid of these places in his favour, for the Allies
to have prevented his forcing the passage of the river under a hews. fire
of commanding artillery.
It redounds infinitely to the credit of the Allied Army, that during
the passage of so formidable a river, with the enemy advancing to their
fortresses upon it, that the operations was conducted with perfect order
and not even a carriage or attirail left behind. Some works that had
been thrown up on the left bank to cover the bridges, it was thought prod
per to abandon when the army had passed.
The enemy made attempt on the night of the Bth, to re-establish the
arches of the main bridge at Dresden ; but the Russian winery was so
well directed that they failed here, bid succeeded in passing between
Kadin, Pilni'z on the 9th.. 'The ground being very commanding on
the lett bank, and favouring their establishing batteries of heavy guns,
they passed in boats and covered themselves advantageously; the pas.
sage was very bravely resisted byGenera I Milaradovitch's ; and
the Rostian.art illery, after displaying the•greatest coolness and courage
was only withdrawn from the impossibility of contending against the sg-
pei ior position and fire of the enemy.
From the best euthenticated accounts, Buonaparte had entered Dres-
den m person. The Viceroy's corps and Marshal M`Dnnald's were
stated to be now immediately opposed to us. .
On the 10th, the Allit'd Army continued its march to Bautzen, and as
it was deemed adviseable to concentrate the forces, General Blucher
was ordered to Cameos, and General Kleist's corps to fall back upon him
to Muhtberg. while General Bulow's retreats if necessary, was directed
