COMAIP.INTDING IN UPPER CATALONIA.

" The King of Prussia repassed yesterday by
Boma, where he stopped only two hours and
whence he took the road to Altenburg. His son,
'the Prince Royal, was not with lihn. The King
was melancholy and silent. General Blucher
arrived at Boma ft c r the departure of the King,
and passed the night there. He was slightly
wounded in the thigh : the Princes William of
Prussia, and Charles of Afecklenburg, acconi
ponied him."

The loss of the battle is attributed to the delay
of General Yorek ; but it could not. be known at
3orna whether the corps commanded by that Ge-
neral had been able to take 'part in the action,
since it was belfeved to be upon the Saale.
The Prussian Officers and S oldie rs -complained
that there had been no distribution of provisions
fur three days, and that they could receive none
on their retrept. They appeared dejected, amid
sume of them'shed tears.

The Volunteer Chasseurs were" those who suf-
fered thy! most. The cavalry sustained- great loss.
Thee regiment of Black !hissers was reduced to 20
men. it. was complained, that the Prussianca-
valry placed in ambuscade was uselessly exposed
to cannon shot. Some regiments of Prussian in-
fantry, also sulicred much. The first regiment of
Silesiaiwas reduced to 56 men..

INTERCEPTED' .LETTER RELATING To THE
TREAT 01' THE RUSSIAN AND rituSSIAN ARMIES.
.• " Boma,'
"The consternation' in the Confederate Army
is general. It is: in proportion.to the, extraordi-
nary degree of confidence shewn by the RusSians
and Prussians previous to the catastrophe; of the
2,1. Noe above a lortnight past they talked of
nothing less less than plishing the French to the
Rhine, and of dictating the conditions of .petiCe.to
them. One great personage even Said, that if the
Emperor Napolen did not accept • the .conditions
offered to him, the' Ctinfedcrate Army would
enter France, and :dictate the terms of peace to
Paris.

It appears they were totally ignorant of what
wits passing in France. They believed that age
neral discontekt existed there, 'and that the Eln-
peter had no longer an army. They now speak
a very different language. The battle of Lutzeu
has dissipated all their hopes, and the future ap.
pears to their eyes in the darkest shades, The
Prussians cannot recover from their astonish-
ment, and a general sorrow is observed among
them, Both ()dicers and snldiets complain bitterly
of the Councils which' have brought on such a
dreadful denouement.

told that the French army was only. composed of
children, but we never found it morelormidable,
—the s'oldiers of this army are like walls, they
