Extract of a Diskitch from ViAcount Cathcart, K. T. dated Frankfort

The last dispatch I io:d lamb hontoir to .:41:1revi to your Lordship was
datetl the 30th ult. trom.Nngen. Napoleon has escarrafrom the

CoAiLackti and Isis other pursuers, and has carried the reina:n; of
.his
l;uard, and some other corps, to the left bank of the Rhine, lutviirg
but few troops bete:.
The possession of a fortress at Erfurth has been the great instrn
went by which this retreat has been effected. It was thought
lie would make some stand behind this post, while, on the contrary,
he redoubled his speed ; and having possession cf‘ the best road,
NVOlle the cross roads by which the Allies cudeavoin'ed to interxept
him were scarcely passable, he gained several marclics.
Gen. Count Wrede gAllaetly arrested his-progress for two days at
Hamm ; on the first of which, particularly, the French fought with
great obstinacy, and the loss has been considerable on both sides.
There is one small spot, where an officer of rank, 'a he, saw it, as-
sures me, that-the carnsgc of men and horses was most extraordi•

nary,
The efforts of this Austrian and Bavarian army, though they
ftolped the (twiny for two days, meld not prevent his arriving' at
Masenee before the colunna under the orders of the Field-Marshal
Prince Schwartzenberg could overtake him.
There are dal: rent accounts of the enemy's force ; but, consider,
lug the numbers lett on the field of battle at Leipsig. acil in that
city, the number of prisoners sent to the rear during the retreat by
all the corps which came up with the enemy, and the losses' insepa-
rable from all retreats of sO difficult and so protracted a nature, it
seems impossible, that he can have carricti :)0,030 inch with him,
though there are persons who estimate the force still higher.
Buonapatte was present in the battle of finnan, and his officers
aitr said to have displayed more, military talent oa that occasion
than 'h"y have lately shewn.
The main army is assembling here, and will immediately be
ready Ito- ulteilor operations.
Field• Marshal Blucher's army is moving to the Rhine, in the di.
reetion of Iflrenbreitstein. His head-quarters are this day at
Limbourg.
The Kiag- of Prussia has been at Berlin and Breslau Sit:CC the
battle of talpsig. His Majesty is expected here Mum diately.
