About nine o'cloelt the Enemy received a rein-

very thick
,fog, agiin tool: possession of the village,-
and advanced eve td the- height on this side. In.
order to-stop,their progress, (3eneql Nnsaltz Made
a. rapid charge with two. squadrorts of hussars of.
Hesse Horriburgb.
,The nussian-cbassetirs, and an'Atistrian -battarroit
'which had been; in Tellnitz, had retired 'in disorder;
the Russiart.regitnent of New-Ingermaulapd
'support them, and made a retreat-, which, in the
midst-of the fog, threw one- part 'of the column into
a ttp ch i;*" t - matt arrested
the progress of the French infantry, and some hun-
dreds of prisoners were made. The trig being dis-
persed, the Allies advanced anew, and he Ent:my
abandoned the village. The first column deployed
in several lines upon the . height, and 'Pellnitz was
retaken. W.het) the French retired from this point,
the defile was passed withovit opposition by the "ca-
valry brigades under Prince' MAtjaiCE and General
STUTTERHEIM; Which drew up beyond it-,-and
nitz, and the detile„wereoccnpied by Some batta-
lions. with artillery The Efitemy then abandoned
entirely the plain between Teliritis and Turas, but
were not pursued because the communif-ation. with
the second colUtun.was not' yet established. The
Austrian cavalry thus avoided the snare which the
right Wing Of the French. Army laid fot them, by its
retreat. • -

During. this combat at Tellnitz, the-second and
third columns had quitted the heigins• Of Pratzen,
and approached SolwinitZ; which- aS occupied by
'two battalions of the division of LRGRAN D. These
defendcd,therriselves, on the approach of •the Rus-.
slaty chasseurs at the head of the ,colualus., The ,
Prench had'some cannon on a heiglit between So,
kolnitz and Kobelnitz, 'which-last 'was oc-
cupied•by the F:suemv's-reserver a pretty sharp:Can-
ponade,, of Solioiniq . took 'place, which destroyed
the village. These two Russian colutpus, without •
troubling themselves with what passed at the fourth
column, -without direa communication with it, 'an'd
without being stopped
_by the of fensive tnovtinents
of the Enemy, thought only of the original Plan, pur-
sued their mivement4 upon Sokelhitz, and after'a
long and useless cannonade- entered that village,
which .m,,as,,carrid without much
.resistance. The
two columns,, in passing the village, crossed one'
another, WhiCh prodUCed-ConfiisiOn.,

We shall now fora moment leave Ails point, and
.transport outselves to, the centre and the right-Of
the Allies, to see what -passed ;there during the
taking of Tellnitt and .(7kolnitz. .The 'French
Emperor, whottr it
..did not escape that the in&ve
. moots :of Austro-Russian Army wanted both
concert and steadiness, and wim saw that the Jeft,
by theigreat circuit which it made, was sepatat-
-ed.from.the centre in -proportion as.. it advanced;
Marched against the centre the masses which he
kept united, in order -to cut off the left wing,, which
did riot cease iMprudently advancing, .that.it -might
turn the' French Army, in
.. a position Whete it
no longer was'. -The reserve of the French Arin'Y,
