My LoaD-1 am vary happy to inform your Lordship, that Victor
has failid in fulfilling the orders he recz•ived from Buonaparte, to
drive CAmt Wit tyen• to=n tv.11;.J.1 the DWiTII. He attacked yesterday
niornivg C4;unt NV ittgeostein u..dcr.at the advanced guard ti retire to
the pofition. This was nxi.‘iiied in a rni,erly m.;ni.er : they retired
in echiquier, tinder a very heavy fire, as if it was in a field day. In
the position, the Fier( It were rece'veri by a well-directed fire from
the artillery, by which they must have hst a great number in killed
and wonn,!e:l, I suppose between two and three thousand. The
firing only ceased At:int seven in the evening. The French had made
strong demonstraii-ns on both wings, but the centre mis chiefly en-
gaged. This mornitv, they Legan their retreat to,,,,ardß Scr no. The
-troops who are in pursuit have as yut made about six huudred prt-
sonent.
It is really a pleasure to see these troops fight. •
The new-raised militia vie with the oP.est icgiments.. One batta-
lion of tins militia being with the advanced guard, on receiving orders
to fall hack, first refused to do so, rayir.e, the Einpercr had rot sent'
them there to retirc, but to advance awl beat the enemy, which they
were willing to do. I:rave,
