enemy's magaziees, proceeded to break dawn the bridges and
render the roads as impracticable as possible, having contrived to
past himself between the enemy's mails body and their advance :
he manner Gen. Czernicheff harrasses them is not to be described.
While in his pwition at Fulda, he perceives the advance of their

towards the town; I.e immediately advances with his Cossacks,

- the advanced guard oil the great road toward Frankfort, car-
rying &stem:lion to all the enemy's means before their arrival. Gen.
Czernicheff states that Bnonapatte we..t from Eisenach to
and that he had the intention of going to the Weser, but the march
of the Prince Royal, and Marshal Blocher, prevented him, and he
supposes his line will. now be at Wetzlar ; he adds, his army is
reduced to 50,000 men armed and collected: many of the enemy
however, wane retiring in different directions, even without arms;
the retreat forcibly resembles that from Russia. A party of Cuss
sacks took a French Co!onel, with a letter from Jerome llnonaparte

Many accounts agree that the greatest consternation reigns in
France, and interior discontent is manifesting itself very generally.
From the intrepid and dexteroaa exploits of the partizans we can
turn with equal rejoicings to. the grand movements of the Allies.
This Emperor's head-quarters were at Melo iehstadt on the 31st tilt.
at Mutterstadt an Ilse Ist last. and they are to be at Heldersheim
this day. The grand army continues the march of its columns on
Frankfort ; on the 7th it will arrive at Aschaffenbourg, and on the
9th on the Mayne.
By letters from Gen. Count Wroth', of the 2Btli. lie announces,
that he had attacked and carried the town of Harlan on that day,
with the first division of Austrians and Bavarians; lie made a great
number of prisoners. Two More divisions of his army were to join
him oh the 19th, end on the :30th, all the Wiirtentlaerg troops.
• Gen. Weenie was in communication with Orloff, Mensgikoff, and
the partizan light corps of the :hand Army. Gen. Wrcde con-
firms the report of the enemy having only 6,000 men in Frankfort ;
- they will probably Loire on Cassel. He mentions also the enemy's
retreat by Wetzlar and Coblentz, and adds, he will take measures
accOrditk.ly.
llarshal Blucher, with the Silesian army, reports from Philip-
stailt and thinsfeldt, on site 29th, that such is the disorder of the
flight, he camett a moment desist from the pursuit, however
haras.ed his troops may be. His Excellency is daily making pri-
,
sailers, and his marching on Wetzlar.
Gen. fteneigsen melted Halle on the29th. It seems the corps
of Gen. Gouvion St Cyr, originally stated to have left Dresden for
Toraan and Wittenberg, and latterly supposed to be moving to
Chemnitz, has nevertheless not lett Dresden. A part of General
Itesatier's corps, (probably separated from the French army by the

The movement of the Prince Rcyal's columns in march are as

It 1% with inexpressible satisfaction report to your Lordship the
entrance yesterday of the Allied troops into his Majesty's Electoral
dominions. The enthusiasm, loyalty, and unbounded joy of the
people is not to be described; and although ten years have sepa-
rated this country from their legjtimate Sovereign,
_it is obvious be
lives in their hearts with the same deep-rooted afftction as ever.
The reception of the Prince Royal must have been beyond mea-
sure gratifying to his Royal Highness, while the few English present
was greeted with unbounded acclaniatihns.
It is a remarkable and gratifying anecdote, that during the eleva-
tion of new authority, and the destraction of every ancient memo-
rial, the bust of our revered Monarch (which I believe was a present
of her MaaEsTv's to the Professors and Students), has retained its
place in this University, and no sacrilegious hand has ever offered
to remove it.
Active measures are taking, under the authority of the Regency,
for the re-establishment of all the Civil Authorities; ant'. his Royal
Highness the Prince of Sweden, with the utmost attention and care
in providing for his troops by requisitions, has made arraugements
for payment, and in every thing considers the country and its inha-
bitants as the most favoured soil.—l have the honour to be, &c.

Hanover, Nov. 11, 1813.
My Loren-1 have little to detail to your Lordship since my last Ai"'
patches. I have as yet seen no official account from whence a intik-
mont can be formed of the manner in which Buonaparte, with the rem-
nant of his army, extricated himself by Ilanau -and Frankfurt, and
passed the Rhine at Cassel.--The sanguinary and hard-fought actioni
by Gen. Wrede, merit unquestionably the highest encomiums. The
force of Butmoparte, as he retired to the great line of his communica-
tions, was probably augmented by tenons at Erfurt, and other places on
its march, and in his battles with GALWrede, he seems to have brought
forward 7C or 80,000 men, a force Much beyond ...bat we estimated
him to possess, after his various losses ; it is quite clear, !limner, he
did not think himself seenre with this number, as dining the last battle
he appears to hetet! sought his safety with an escort of 10,000 cavalry,
nhich Gen. Czernicheff very gallantly and a little roughly handled,
Marshal Blucher's army seems to have been &acted out of the great
line of road on Frankfort, on which they wt.re followlng the enemy, and
they, were marched on Wetzlar and Coblentz. It was considered, when
Gen. Wiede occupied Han u and Frankfiat, that Buonaparte would
march on Cobleinz. But by MArshai Blucher being turned into
another diree;ion, it appears no part of the grand army could or did ta-
rive in time to take part in the actions nith Gen. Wrede, which is to
be lamented.
The Prince Royal moved his head quarters to 1-1. mver :in the oh.
The Prusians under Glen. Billow, are at Minden, and Gen. NVinzinge-
rode wills arrive in a day or two at Bremen. The Swedes are Inarcliing
towards ilarburgh.
The corps of Gen. Bennigsen is descending the Elbe. and is stilted
at Leinzen. This General,, with lieut.-Oen. Coarit Walmoden,
will
operate on the right bank against Marshal Daeoust's position on the
Steckintz. Gen. Winzingerode will. however, not be de-
layed in commencing their march towards Holland. Gen. Pennigbela
brings ample force with him. ben. Billow will in a few days have re-
cruited his briny, in his .Prussian Majesty's ai;ci• at states, to the nuni-
bee it amounted to before the opening of the campaign. The amplo,
generous, and liberal aid of the Prince Regent, in arms and clothing, iip
of an invaluable consequence at this moment to these brave Prussians.
