FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

HALLE, OCT. 14.—The advanced guard of the
Prussian reserve are entering this Tice, under
Duke EUGENE of Wirtemburgh. The body of
Prince Louts is to be brought to Weimar, and
there interred We have received no certain ac-
count of the present situation of General-TAuEN-
ZEIN'S Corps.
From the Prussian Army we learn the following
particulars ot the events of the last few days past.
The small advanced Corps under General TAUEN-
VEIN, lately stationed at Hof,-and which at most
consistecLof 7000 Saxons and Prussians, tetreated
tb Saalbruck as soon 'as' the French entered Bay-
reuth ; and as the lattor continued to advance, the
former fell bacls to Schleiti, where the affair corn-
menced, in which the Saxems. and PrussiaitS fought
like lions, but were compelled to s'lcmit to Superior
force. The losson both sides is. considerable, and a
number of broken baggage-waggons, drivers, &c.
have been seen to-day dispersed about 'the country.
The_French soon after fell upon the advanced guard
under Prince HOE ENLOHEi and his right 'tying un-
der .Prince Louts, who unfortunately suffered him-
self to hedrawfi into a wood by the advanced guard
of the .French, which he took for the main body:
In this wood be found thirty thousand men flanked
with masked batt,ries, which opened upon the
Prince and his small :Otte. Himself, the hope and
pride Of young warriors, fell in the beginning of the
confliQ, being pierced by two musket balls. His
body was found on the following day among others,
so much disfigured as scarcely to be known.: he has
been since buried at Weimar. Five Saxon Regi-
. ments were the principal sufferers in this -affair :
their baggTg,e and train are completely dispersed,
Just after this affair, a plundering party of French
and Bavarians ventured as far as Wessenfels and
NaUmburgh, where they staid but a few .minutes.
• This day J.eipsic has' been visited, probably by the
same party. The rumour so often repeated that
Prince MURAT has been, made prisoner, requires
confirmation.
BERLIN, OCT.- 14.--The following are additional.
particulars of the action in which Prince Louts fell,
It is well known that the Prince commanded the
advanced guard of Prince HOHENLOHE'S Corps, and.
.had been ordered by him to' march to Rudolstadt,
with six or seven thousand men, and; by that rnoye-
ment, to facilitate the junction of the Corps under
General TAUENZEIN with the main body. This
the Prince executed on the loth. In his passage
over the Saal, between Duderstadt and Saalfeld, he
fell in with- five thousand French, who were de-
feated, after a very short anion ;' but immediately
after, the whole of 14RNADOTTE'S Corps, 'thirty
thousand strong, made their appearance, and at-
tacked our handful of men with great vigour. Out•
troops retreated in the best order, Lighting manfully
for the space of seven hours, and happily arrived
at the Saal. Their Joss
,consists of fifteen hundred,
men x but that of the French is equally consider-
Knoell's Light Battalion, which:fought-with
thd greatest spirit, has suffered considerably ; .and a
Regiment from south Prussia, with another consist-
ing entirely ,of Poles, distinguished themselves much.
The whole affair would have been but trifling, if
Prince Louts had not fallen, in consequence of
receiving two musket balls. in his breast in the heat
of the action,
,when the Prussians. Were charging
with the-bayonet. It is said, that this unfoitunate,
Prince, when leaving Berlin, expressed his persua-
sion that he should see it no,more, and that he had
previously made his will. ,
We learn that sixty Frenelithasseurs have slipped
through the country, and burnt some of our maga-
zines at Mimburgh.. Travellers who come from,
Breslau assure us that' quarters
,are getting _ready
there, and in the environs, or 80,000 Russians, and'
" that Lt 9, ow). tvere expeCted 'at .Kalitsch.
Weimitu, OCTOfiER 13.—The Prussian Army is
stroi"g!y concentrated upon a piece of ground, about
boar miles square, between Weimar and Jena.
RUCHEL is on the right, ttid'PrinCe HOEEN-
L,,au on. the left wing. Hitherto, we have heard
gof any,hostilities since the loth. .

To-the numberless hand-bills (the decencies of
Which are .only surpassed by the wit) which have
been circulated"against • Sir SIDNEY SMITH and his
Friends, those Friends crave the liberty of making no
reply. The Untouched monopoly of those liberal ar-

Well known) and distributors of those' valuable frag-
ments, so: exaCtly fitted to the cause they espouse.
From the,first moment of the Election to the pre-
sent, not:even a distant allusion has been made, by
those who represent Sir SIDNEY SMITH, to,any of
his adversaries ; and. 'ali the Friends of Sir SIDNEY
are most earnestly implored not ..to disgrace his
_cause by copying, in any resped, the, example
which his., enemies have so prodigally set before
them. .
" When. those who have ransacked both town and

it will be time enough to discuss the merits of the
person whose just sense of,hitiiself shall persuade-,'
his modesty into the'superiority of pretensions.

Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S antagonists, is the assertion,
that the ['fiend who represents him at Rochester is

SIDNEY) .a succession to Sir SIDNEY in the Represen—
tation—" the latter being to vacate his seat for the
accommodation of the tomer."' No man ever suf-
fered the penalties of perjury for a plainer falsehood
than this assertion. the Iriend who represents 'Sir
SIDNEY at llotheSter, is citsqUalitied from sitting in
Parliament under a tine of .sudi..per day; - and has
not the most,distant contemplation of resigning -the
office whickrenaers him ineligible.
