BULLETINS OF THE CROWN PRINCE.

691

Head-quarters at Dessau, Oct. 4, 1813.
The Prince Royal has this day transferred his head quarters to
this place.
Tile attempt made by the enemy on the 29th of Sept. to carry the
works, scarcely traced out, of the bridge of Roslaw, was more
fatal to bun than had been supposed. The officers and soldiers made
prisoners,the deserters, and the inhabitants of the conntry,coincide iii
estimating their less at 1500 men at the lowest calculation. Frogs:
7to 800 men were buried here. Gen. Sandels occasioned him dill
lass with only three battalions.
Gen. Blucher, by one of those marches of which history scarce'y
furni,hes an example, and which his enthusiasm for theliberty of his
country could alone suigest, advanced, with ilie greater part of hi,
army, from the environs of Bautzen to Elster ; and though he ht ti
to carry with him a bridge equipage, he. effected the passage in a
short a time as a simple traveller could have done. After passing:
the Eibe, he attacked the 4th corps of the enemy's army, coin
mantled by Gen. Bertrand, on the.3d of October, near Wartenbuur
put it to rout, killed a number, drove it from all its intrenchments.
and took 16 gnus, 70 harnesses' caissons, tied 1000 prisoners.
Lient.-Col. Lowenstern, with a small detachment of Cossack...
fought against upwards of 2000 of the enemy in the ktreets of Bern
burg. After a conflict of two hours, and the enemy having been re-
inforced with artillery, the town was abandoned, but retaken neN
ciay. The skill and courage displayed by the Cossacks on this oce:i-
sion, as sell as on all preceding ones, does them the greatest ho-
nour. These undaunted troops are not only the eyes of the army .
but they likewise fight in the ranks, break squadtoes, at to 1.,
squares of infantry, swim over rivers' and put themselves into tl.s
enemy's rear, where they spread dread and disorder. The lOssiel•
army this day crossed the Elbe at Acken. Gen. IVinzingerode ha..
caused his vanguard, under the command of Count Worouzow, to
advance to Codicil.
The town of Acken will in a short time be so well fortified, Unit
it will require a regular siege to take it. It is a point on the let
• bank which the enemy has neglected to occupy, and from whir;;
the allied army will now derive essential benefit.
The Swedish army having thrown a bridge of boats over the Elba,
at Roslan,.passed the river tuts morning at day-break, and move.;
upon Dessau. Its advanced posts extended to Ragulin and Jomil ..,
and its junction with Gen. Mueller's army is accollished. 14.:1
sisal Ney's army left Dessau and Jonitz at five o'clock this morning
Its rear-guard was vigorously pursued, and some prisoners has,
been taken.
. It willatill require five or six days before the works at Roslai,
can be completed. They are traced out upon a flue plan, willr
does great honour to Gen. Sparre. .
The third Prussian corps d'armee, under the command of e'e
Billow, is to cross the Elbe to-morrow, as will likewise (:e
Coma Tanenzier, with his corps., Gen. Thome,' will remain h
fore Wittenberg,. This General is to continue the siege with the sat
vigour which he has before shewn to Spandau. Should Wittenb.
fall into the hands of the Allies* they will be masters of the Elbe.
this fortress will at once cover Berlin, and at the same time serum
der ,t tor- the Allied Armies.
