GERMAN PAPERS.

DESSAU, APRIL et.—On the 17th and 113th Wittenberg was at
tace,ed. st d briskly cannonaded on the town side, by the Prussians,
and on the bridgA side by the Russian corps. On the 191 h and 20th
after tut ontwark had been t ken, and a snlimb destroyed, Lieut.-
General Von Kleist, by order of Count Wittgenstein, withdrew
himself, with a part of Lis corps, the regiment of Green Hussars,
the Colbert!, and East Prussian regiments of infantry, along the
right ba, k of the Elbe, through Nosslan, towards Dessau, where his
head quarters are at present, leaving the blockade of Wittenberg to
another aglvancing corps. The attack is now to be directed against
the bride. The 'garrison may in the mean while, as Count Witt-
genstein .tas expressed himself, go to study in ie town. Count
Wittgenstein has removed Ins head-quartets to Leipsick.
ST PETERSBURG li, M.% c V 7 --`..53,000 dead bodies of the cite-
my ha% e already bee n Iniriet in the Governments of Moscow, Witepsk,
and Mohilow, and .53,000 in the town of Wand, and the territory
adjoining. The bodies of the Russian soldiers, which were known
by the ero•ses hanging at their necks, according to the custom of
the Greek cherub, h %c • L been buried.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL ‘;4.— Thee Swedish Consul at this place has
been i :formed by his Gov. rement that the re cal of the Legation has
:to influence on his official concerns, or on the mercantile connection
existing between Sweden and Denmark ; that• the course of the
mails will not be disturbed, and that the friendly intercourse in ge-
neral w ill remain as before.
ALTENBURG, APRIL Vt.— Milarodcmitsch is this day at Frevbnrg,
and in readiness to join our army. Major Von Blucher, with only
one squadron and a leaf of his hussars, has combated with the whole
advancing tiore of the enemy, and has thrice victoriously driven
their vauguard through Weimar, whither he had been onliged to
withdraw from Gothe. He bad already made 30 prisoners when he
fell in with the main body, and his hussars being alt hot in the pur-
suit, could not penetrate through it. He has lost•one otEcer and
14 men, and could not keep his prisoners. Major Von Blucher
Himself was wounded in the cheek in the skirmish, but he had in-
spired the enemy with so tune!' respect that he continued his re-
treat to the Saale, not in a trot, but at a foot pact.—He retreated
behind Jena, but has again advanced, and is said to be again at
Weimar. On the Ist it was expected in our army that the enemy
would cross the Salle and attack us; but on the following day it
was perceived that they were retreating, and apparently towards
Erfurt. General Lod Blucher is recovered,from his indisposition.
SAXON Y,—On the 24th of April the Emperor,of Russia and King
of Prussia, with the Russian army entered Dresden. Count Stadion,
according to appearances. will remain at the head-qnarters of the
allied Monarchs on the part of the Austrian Court.
BRESLAW, APRIL '24.—We are assured that a courier, who on
the 6th of this month arrived at Vienna, from Paris, brought the
positive rejection, by Napoleon, of the proposals for a peace made
by Austria, since which the Austrian Government have resolved to
set on foot an army of 130,000 men in Germany, and another of
50,000 men in Upper Italy. An ultimatum of the French Emperor
on the whole business of the peace will be presented by the Prince
of Schwartzenberg, to which we can scarcely expect a speedy
answer will be given.
