HI col and well-directed fire upon the as-

of Trench forces aeled most successfully against
the Prussian cavalry throughout the whole pursuit.

".Bu on the evening of the 4th, the Grand •
IYke of BERG, who was advancing on the right,
arrived with his cavalry against the enemy, whose
tiziaLite objet seemed, as yet, uncertain. Marshal
SOC LT advanced by Ratzburgh, and the Prince DE
Povro Coavo by Rena. They lay from the night
nf'the sth to that of the 6th, at Schoenberg, whence
the Marshal retired at two o'clock in the morning.
The Prince advanced to Schlukup, upon the Trave,
and came up with a corps of 1600 Swedes, who, at
err-Tll, thought proper to retire from Lauenburgh,
in or:lLn- to embark upon the Trave. A few dis-
ehkges from our cannon, however, disabled the
vcs.sels intended for their embarkation. The Swedes,
after a slew of resistance, laid down theii arms. A
convey of 300 vessels, which General SAVARY had
traced to Wismar, was attacked in the river by
the column under the Prince DE Pox ro Coavo, and

,:aptured..
" In .th.c mean time the• enemy fortifiedi them-
in Lubeck. Marshal SOULT advanced with
sut,i) rapidity, that he arrived at the gate of Mullen
av•sodn as the Prince was before that of the Trave.
The Grand Duke of BERG; with his cavalry, was
between these posts. The enemy endeavoured has-
tily to strengthen the old walls of Lubeck, and placed
same guns on the bastions, hoping, by these means,
to pia at least a day upon us ; but he was mistaken,
as the reconnoitring and the attacks were almost at
the same moment.

General DROUET, at the head of the 37th light
infantry, and the 94th and 95th of the line, carried
the batreries wish that coolness and intrepidity
which peculiarly distinguishes the French troops !
The gates were speedily forced, the bastions esca-
laded, the Enemy put to flight, and the corps of the
lirince of PONTO-CORVO entered by the gate of the
Trave. The chasseurs, Gorses, the tirailleures of the
Po, and the 26th light-infantry, composed the ad-
vanced guard of General LEGRAND, which had not,
as yet, been engaged, and who were impatient to
attack the enemy, advanced with the rapidity 'of
lightning ! Redoubts, bastions, ditches, all were

cleared; and the corps of Marshal SOULT entered
the town at the gate of Mullen. In vain did the
Enemy attempt to defend the place, in the streets,
the squares, Sre. they were driven back every
where, and those places were covered with the
dead ! The two divisions of the French troops,
which had entered at different gates, joined about
the mildie of the town. Scarcely had the Grand
Duke entered the place than the Enemy were put to
flight. He pursued them-4000 prisoners, 60
pieces of cannon, several Generals, a great number
of Officers killed or taken. Such were the results
of this brilliant viaory.
" Before day-break on the 7th, the-cavalry were
mounted, and the Grand Duke of BERG surrounded
tne Enemy near Schwartau, wit► the brigade of
LASALLE, and the division of cuirassiers of HAITI--
rouLT. General BLUCHER, Prince FREDERICK of
BRUNSWICK GELS, and the other General, then
Came forward to the viaois, and desired to capi-
tulate. The troops were defiled before the French
army. These two days' work destroyed the last
corps which remained of the Prussian army; beside
the remainder of the artillery, we have taken a
n. tuber of standards, and 16,000 prisoners, of whom
4050 are cavalry.

liras the Prussian Generals, who, in the deli-
ri'un of their vanity, indulged in all sorts of sar,
against the Austrian Commanders, have the
f urtli time renewed a cntastrophe similar to that of
Uhn—first, in the capitulation of Erfurtll‘; the se-
a'on:l, by that of the Prince HoHENLowe ; thirdly,
tri 'the rT-cluecion ,of Stettin ; and the fourth, in the
recent c.:.pitulation of Schwartau. The city of Lil-
t Leek has suffered considerably : taken by assault,
its, streets, its squares, have been-scenes of carnage.
'nese calamitieS she attributes to those who drew
the perils of war towards her Walls.
i\lechlenburgh has been equally ravaged by the
French and Prussian Armies. A great number of
troops traversing it in ,various dire&ions, of neces-
sily subsisted at the expence of the country. This
irate is in close alliance 'with Prussia, and will, in
spine uneasure, prove an example to those Princes of
(-;eim:iny, who seek for alliance with a far-distant
rower, which is perfealy safe from a participation
in those evils it draws upon them, and which makes
effort to support those who are attacjied to if by
the nearest tits of blood, or by the closest diplomatic

ye irons,
