Pints, 19.----In the Ordinance which his
Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop issued relative
Deum m,liich is to be sung to-day, his
Eminence ex f,s'himself as follows •
" The piety of our august Empress Queen and
Regent, makes her wislt,,that religion should on
this day become, in our sanctuaries, the organ of
national gratitude to the All,powerful, and the
:riterpreter of the wishes of France, to obtain
nom Heaven the
,preservation of the hero who
overus her with so much glory. ,
" This double duty is equally sacred as pleasant
for us to perform ; never will the tribute of our
thanksgivings he more legitimate; never, there-
fore, coulu oblic pra:ers he performed in otic
temples with more intt,rest.

The ever sublime genius of the Fimperor was
carried to the foreseeing thought- of fortifying;
during the armistice, the capital of ,Saxony, in
order to make it the bulwark of the Confederation
Of the Rhine, and the most solid gtiarantee of his
victories. The fate of Germany depended upon
this great military measure, which,' by reducing
our. enemies to the defenSive, transported into
their own states all the scourges of war.
" In effect, scareelY hakthey. recommenced hos-
tilities when they made , haste to assemble all
their. force to carry-the city of Dresden.by assault,
the full importance of which they knew. Thanks
ought to. be returneil to Divine Providence for it!
An army of 200,000 men conimanded by three
Sovereigns, immediately give, by their defeats, 'a
brilliant homage to the l'roteetor of that new ram-
part which shuts from the enemies of France the
territory
,of our Allies. Daring the two entire.
days of .our triumphs, all aggression was glo-
riously repulsed before 'that satire strong place, of
Which the great man Nvho had just created it, re-
screed to himself the defence.

"We have no occasion to retrace the picture
of thoSe victorie, an official report lias Cleve-
. loped to you all the advantagyzi of thein Thirty
thousand prisoners, forty start& of colours, ;sixty
pieces r eatiluin, and a Foss of‘nearly sixty thou.
sand men to the enemy's army, are the" results
of it.

" Stich are the memorable blessings of the All,
powerful', which at' this moment demand the gra-
titude of the people at the foot of our Altars."

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER WRITTEN UT AN OFFICER'
ON GENERAL VON PUTTLEIZ'S CORPS; BEFORE

hINGDEBURG.

On the. 21st of August, at. Seven in the Morning, •our ad-
vanced posts were attacked by a serous elaqis which came
• from Magdeburg under :General Girard. - This .caps, •ay 'we•
were afterwards informed, consisted of the lath, ipth, and
72d'regiments of the line, the 26th- light regiment, the 4th
and oth Westphalian ree.hamits, one battalion ot. IllyrienS,
three battalions of Max,•ll troops, some battalions off..,..orientii.
scents from the hospital at Magilelnirg, several Freach deptlt
squadroos, and some squadrous of Saxon hussars, makiag io
the. whole twelee• or ,thirtedethousand men, with. fourteen
pieces of urtillery; and two howitzers. We had only fire Mit-.
tannic •o; the land militia, one reserve battalion, three weak
battalions of the i usarrection corps, and three picces of BA's,.
Sian artillery to oppose to them, The French omit ~ their at-
tack. our centre, at Old Konigsbora, which coesilted
twobattalions and one squadron, and hail one baftalion-aild
• our artillery for their reserve. NOtwithstandiugthe immense
disparity of force, our troops maintained their;emiti,au with
great valour. The brave battalion of Vim Belabor (the 4th of •
the I st regt. of reserve) particularly distinguished itself; whose
t leursonderthe coalman!' of Capt,VonSacken, on anal tack
made by' the enemy en vill.sve on the bridge •at Old Konig4-
born, eveti waded through the rivulet:, and fell With'the
net.oue his .left flank. Nevertheless, and uotwithStandjng the
good effects of our little artillery, 'oue piece of which .was dis-
mounted at the commencement pf the action, we were at. nine
o'ctee.ft,obliged to give way before such superior force. We
' now retreated, continually fighting. at every step, through-
New Korsigsborn and Woltersdoill, back to the heiglkta.near
KerbilitZ, " We fixed ourselts • lucre to draw to us the three •
remaining battalions of our left and right' wing.s. The latter'
• bed received orders to detach the.battalion ot Von Sdionlioltz
to the support at the centre. This battalion had meauwhile
advanced towards Gerevischmanndocilz, in theclirectioir.of
Old Konigsburn, when it'stldenly perceived beforeitlaur.o:,
live battalions of the enemy's- infantry, and a large Mass

est intrepidity 'quick through a deep vale, repulsed the•ene.

right wing. 'Scarcely bad we :received. an, intimation of
its danger,' hilt the centre was forined hattalian-wise, and:
again pushed forward against GerWisch and Buderitz, to.re-
Here our right wing. The enemy retreated towards WOI.
terstiodr, and we happily accomplished our junction with
the two battalions, and the squadrou cif Erxleben. The latter •
had, at the very beginning 'of the battle, pushed Inv:Lyda
against Magdeburg, got into the village of Kpikau, in the
eneloy's.relies and ,there, within the range of the sortresa's
cut down some of the enemy,- and even brought oft some •
prisoners. Meanwhile the enemy again pushed vigorously
forward with a Very superior force. We therefore Continued our

did our troops, who were almost all men that had never be-
fore seen au enemy, sustain their • battle against a force of
nearly three time. their own, in the most bonourable.maa
ner, and made nar retreat. as if they had been performing
their exercise... Wa have lost :no prisoners, excepting, a few
men so severely wounded that we could not „brills thein

about 36 of his horse, on a squadron of the 13th Freach Re«
ginient of Hussars,. cut a number of them clown, and took an
Officer and ten or twelve teen prisoners. Our loss, notwith-
standing the heavy fire, • was. unproportionably small, as the
French fired remarkably. badly; none of our Oilicets were
killed, and only a few wounded.
