Max 8.--Her Majesty the Einpress Queen and
Regent has received the following intelligence
from the army
The battles of Weissenfels and Lutzen were
but the prelude -of events at the highest Impart-
The -Emperor Alexander and the King of.
Prussia, who. :had arrived at. Dresden, with their
fortes, the latter end of April, learning that the
French army had debauched from the-Thuringe,
adopted the plan of giving battle on the plains of
Lauzeu, and put themselves in motion to occupy
the' position, but they were anticipated by the ra-
pidityvflt4 Moveindats of the French array; they,
however, •persisted in their projecti, and resolved
to attack the army to drive it from the positions it
had taken. •

• " The position of, the French army was nd the
2d. of May, at nine o'clock in the morning, .as fol.
IOwS :--4he left of the army leaned npoo. the El;•-,
ster ; it was formed by the Viceroy., Gavin under
his orders the sth and Ilth. corps.. The centre
was .commanded by the Prince 'of Moskwa,-- in. the
village of Kira. The Emperor, with the_young
aid old guard, was at Lutzen. The Duke ofilii;
gusa was at the defile of POS2lllo,.and formed- the
light with his three di vicious, General Licr-
valid, commanding. the 4th 'corps, marched ,to
proceed,-to this defile. The enemytdebouched fluid
passed the sister, at the • bridges of ZrVenkakti,
Pegau,, and Zutz. The Emperor, hopiwg to anti.!
cipate him in his movement, and thinking that he
could not attack till the, sth, advanced. \General
Lauriston, whose carps formed the extreme of the
left, marched upon Lcipsic, in order to disconcert
the enemy's projects, and place the drench' army,
for the day of the ad, quite different to that upon
which the enemy had calculated to find it, and in
which it was, in reality, ,on 2d; and by this
Means carry confusion and disorder into their co-
ition's..

At nine in the morning, his Majesty, having
heard a cannonade from the side. of Leipsie; pro,-
ceeded there at full gallop. The enemy defended
-the` small village of ..testeaan,- and the bridges, in
advance of Lcipsic. His Majesty only waited the
moment when these gst positions should be car-
ried to put .in motion. all his army in that direc-
tion, make it pivot on Leipsic, pass to the right
bank. of the Lister,- and, take the enemy a revers ;
tint,.ut ten o'clock, the enemy's army debauched
towards Kira upon several columns extremely
deep; the horizon was obscured by them,
"The enemy .prescnted , forces which appeared
immense.

" The Emperor immediately made his disposi-
tions.. The Viceroy received orders to march upon
the left of the Prince of Moskwa hut three hours
were necessary to execute this movement. The
Prince of Moskwa placed his men under anus, And
with five divisions supported, the battle, which, at
the end of half an hour, became terrible.

" ilis Majesty himself marched at the head of
the list guard, behind the centre of the army, sup.
Dorting the right of the Prince of Moskwa. The
uke of Ragusa; with'his three divisions, occupied
the extreme right. General Bet fraud had orders
to debouch upon the enemy's rear, at the thoment
in which the lineshould be most strongly engaged.
Fortune was pleased to crown with the most bril-
liant success all these dispositions. The enmity, who
appeared certain of the •success of his enterprise,
marched to reach our right, and gain the road of
Weissenfels. Gen .Compans ,Gen ,of Battle of the first
Merit, at the head of the first division of the
Duke of Ragusa, stopped him. quite short. ,The
marine regiments supported several charges with
sangfroid, and covered the fiehl ot battle nub the
best of the enemy's cavalry. But the great efforts
of infantry, ea,valry, and artillerv, were directed
against the venue. Four of Vrinee Moslva's
five divisions were already engaged. The village
of Kaia was taken and retaken several times. This,
village remained in tide enemy's power. Count
de Lobau Airected Gen. Rican' to retake the
vil-
lage—it was retaken.
" The battle embraced a line of two leagues,
'covered with tire, smoke, and clouds of dust.- The
Prince of Moskwa, Generals Souham, and-Gene..
ral Girard; were every iviter% making head again:A
every thing; the 'hitter was wounded with sevewl

balls. Gen:Girard wished to remain on the field
of battle ; hedeclared he wished to `die comntand-

heart, to-conquer or perish: However, he began

Bertrand's corps ; at the same moment, the-Vice -
roy entered in.line npon the left, and
,the Duke
of Tarentum attacked the enemy's reserve, and
reached, the village, upon which the enemy rested
his right. tit this moment the enseny redoebled his
efforts upon the centre ;, the -village of Baia was
again taken, our centre gave (flechet). soma.
battalions fled (se deband derinf ); but these valorous
youths, at the sight of the Emperor, rallied, ex-
claiming Vice I'Empereur •His Majesty jutig,t;d
that the critical moment which decides the gain-
ing or losing of battles had arAed: there was, no
longeret moment to be hest. The Em‘peror or-
dered the Duke of Treviso-to march with sixteen,
battalions of the young
_guard to the Village ,of
Kaia, overthrow the enemy, retake the rillage,and
overcome every thing he met with there:,
" At the same moment hisMaiesty ordered his
Aid-de-Camp, General Dronet, an Artillery Officer
of the greatest distinction, to form a battery of. 80
pieces, and placeit in,advance of the old Guard,
which was formed in echelyns, as 'fimr redoubts
to support
.the centre, all orir cavalry ranged in
battle/ behind. Generals, Dulauley, Dronet, and
Devaux, sit out at full gallop, With their 80 pieces
of artillery in the same groupe.
" The fire becatne dreadful. The enemy gave
way on all sides. The
,Duke of Treviso obtained
possessiOn of the Village of Kahl, ovei threw the
enemy, and contioned to advance, beating the.
charge. The enemy's cavalry, infantry, and ar-
tillery, all retreiited.
Gen. Bonnet, commanding one of the Duke of
Ragusa's division, reeeivedPrders to make- a move-
ment upon Kahl, by his left to support the isuc-
cess of the centre. lie sustained , several charges
of cavalry, with the enemy, nevertheless,'General
Count Bel.tranzi -advanced awl entered the line.
It was in vain that the enemy's cavalry capered
about his s9uares, Ids march was not relaxed by
it. To rejotn hinf the sooner the Emperor order-
ed a change of direction by pivoting Ott :Cala. The
whole of the right made a change i r front, the
"right wingforemost.
" he enemy then fled, and We penned him
for a league ati'd a half. We soon, arrived 'at the
heights whieb had been occupied by the Ruperor
A.lexatuter, the King of Prussia, anti the Branden-
buTh family during the .battle. Ail Officer who
was, token prisoner there informed ,its of this cir-
cumstance. . •

" We have guide several thousand prisoners.
'l'he Number could not be more considerable, con-
sidering the inferiority of our cavalry and the de-
sire the Emperor had shown of sparing it.
'' At the commencement of the battle the Em-
peror said to the t'Voops--3 It is a battle like thos*
in Egypt, a •good infantry;supparted by artillery,
should be sufficient for it.'

and wounded ; that of. the enemy may be- esti-
mated at 25 or 30,000 men. The Royal Prussian
Guards are destroyed: The Emperor of Russia's
Guardslhave witfered considerably, and the two
divisions of ten regiments of Russian cuirassiers
are destroyed. Ills Majesty cannot pay a sufficient
euloginm to the good will, courage, and intrepi-
dity of the army. 'Our young soldiers took no
danger into, conSideration; They have in this
great instance shown all the nobleness of the
French bluod.

Fins pulverised the chimerical hopes and all the
