numbers near Halle, where (Aeneral.'Srorck had

BERLIN, MAY the'3oth April the Prus-
sian and Russian' troops had concentrated on the
plain, two or three German, miles on the other
side of Leipsie, from Zwenckau,. Pegan,,Weissen,
fell, and Lutzen, for the purpose of giving battle
to the French, who were at • Naumburg, under
Marshal Ney. On the Ist of Miy, the cannon-
ading continued from morning•till evening. An
engagement took place near .11oeninclsen, he-
tween Lutzen,and Weissenfels, in which only the
left wing of tl-e Russian and Prussian array , was
concerned. The French were driven three Ger-
man miles back, and lust 15, (other accounts say
40) pieces of artillery; and a considerable number'
of prisoners. All the accounts which have come
to the 'Magistrates of Leipsic up,to ten o'clock in
the evening of the Ist of May, leaVe, no doubt of
the decisively victorious conclusion of this battle,
on the part of the Russian and Prussian troops...—.
The details were hourly expected. The most uni-
versal joy prevails at Leipsic, and on th'' next
day many thousands of the inhabitants resolved
to go to the field of battle on foot,. all the horses
having been required tor the service of the ar-
my. The official accounts of this affair arc hourly
expected.
LIEGNITZ, ArraL3o.---:An official account has'
been received here of the death of Prince Kutusoff
Smolensk°, on the 28th itist. Buntzlaw in the
70th year of his age.,
lIELIGOL.tND, MAY 1 1 .—On the 7th the French
pushed forward their advanced post, consisting of •
'Lanus, within gun-shot, of the battery at Cuxha-
ven, and obliged our picquet4 to retire within the
gates.
On the Sth, about twelve linndred, men; in-
fantry, cavalry, and artilkry, with two pieces
of cannon, advanced, and as the battery was
nearly demolished by pur troops, and 'only one
12 pounder mounted, Major Keatzinger, seeing
that all resistance, would he useless, resolved to
evacuate it. The embarkation was covered by 2
six pounders, brought on shore from one of our
vessels of war.

Reports from the Elbe state, that the French
had succeeded in getting their men Berm' from
Harburg to iirilhelmsburg '(a small island belong,
ing to Hamburgh, and opposite to it), upon %villa
General Tettenborn proceeded across that river
with all the disposahle.force be could collect,
retook the island, and even advanced as far as
Harburg.
Much speculation prevails here respecting the
measures Denmark will adopt on the return of
Count Bernstorf.
The Duke of Cumberland arrived off this island
on Sunday morning; his Highness proceeded in
the.Nymphen frigate for Cuxhaven.

c Royal Prussian Guards no hmgcr-exist—
.
imliceri of this guard have been seen to traverse
alone the town of Pegau. The three regiments•
of enirassicrs, General Kleist, who 'commands the
blockade of Wittenberg, gave u fresh assault,' to
obtain possession of that place, commanded' by
General Lspoypc. The Itußsian and Prussian
troops were repulsed at every point, and lost many
men.

Lieutenant-General de Thumen directs thesiege
of Spandau. lie established several works, which
were destroyed by the French garrison. 'l'humen,
in his turn, caused the fortress to he bombarded.
On this occasion several buildings in the town
became a prey to the flames. The Prussian ar-
tillery destroyed some works of the besieged, they
were (pOrkly repaired. An assault which the
Prussians attempted, vas very fatal to them ; they
lost many men, and have in part gone to a dis-
tance from it.

. .
Lmuncr,G, APRIL 20.—The Russian General
Rath blockades, it is true, the fortress of Za •
:nose ; but he cannot besiege it, because he has
not.a sufficient miniber of troops, nor any heavy
artillery. The French General Haucke defends that
-fortress with 3.0 r 4000 men.
• PEoAu, MAY Vii- Wittgenstein's, Winzingi-
rode;s; and Blucher's corps passed through Pegau,
marching towards Lutzen. We have seen many
Russian Generals .;—Miloradowitch, Onwaroff,
.Markoff, Valkouski, Merlin, &c. are mentioned.
It is said Tormazow MO expected on the 2d.—
The Prussians 'on passing reckoned on the most
complete. success. On the 2d, at two p. in. the
first wounded were seen to arrive in ten or twelve
carriages together ; but hi a quarterof an hour
afterwards it file of them WM established, and not
again discontinued. From 31) to 40 wounded
were placed in every house, in the town.
On the 2:1 of May, between 10 and 11 in the
morning, the Emperor Alexander and the King
of Prussia passed through -Pegan on horseback ;
they again passed through it on the morning of
the 3d, accompanied by: Generals Wittgenstein
and IVinzingerode. •

On the 2d, at six o'clock, they began to talk
about a retreat, and fugitives were seen.
The same men 'rho the preceding evening and
in the morning were, so arrogant, had a. dejected
air ; they said all had been loft, because all had
been risked.

The Prince Royal or PrUssia had been wOnnded
by a hall whilst endeavouring to rally some regi-
ments whiciLgave way.
• The hereditary Prince of •Mccklenburg Strelitz
brother-in-law to the King of Prussia, wai killed
with two halls ; he commanded a regiment of tht
body guards.

I►i.an order of the
.day issued before the battle,
it was announced, to animate the courage' of the
soldiers, that all the Royal Family would be with,
the army. Prisoners assure us, seven Princes of
the blood were actually With it.
The regiments of Russian Guards have been
almost 'entirely destroyed. The Royal Prussian
Guards no longer exist : officers of this guard
have :been seen to traverse alone the town of
Pegan.
The three regiments of enitas,qrß,
corps were engaged in the eveiiing of the battle ;
there no longer remain but the wrecks of them,
The grenadier battalion of the first Eastern Prus-
sian Regiment, twice retook the village of Kaia ;
on the third attack, it was entirely dispersed.
General Blucher and Prince William of Prussia,
with several Generals, arrived on the 2d, at 11
o'clock: in the evening, and set out at three
o'clock the following morning; they lodged at
the Post-house.

VIENNA, Aram 27.—1 t appears that their-Ma-
jesties the King and Queen of Saxony, will return
to Dresden as soon as the Russians and Prussians
shall have been forced to withdraw from thence.
The Archduke Charles also intends to proceed to
Bohetnia ; we know that he iw Captain-General of
the kingdom : he is to inspect the. troops assent-
bled there. No son of a citizen can now be ex-
empted from the recruiting which is going on in
this town and the suburbs. A great number of
students have enrolled themselves in the chat -
sours. Artists, and the sons of merchants are al-
lowed to choose the regiments in which they like
to serve, and, as private soldiers, enjoy privileges
.Which have hitherto been reserved dor Gentlemen
'Cadets, or the sons of officers. •
