Dispatches, of which the following arc copies, have been this

'Sir C. W. STEWART, at the Office of Viscount C4ST-1X-

Itznall :---

Prince Royal's !leaf)-quatfers, enthen, Oct. 14.
lii'LoßD,-2-1 write but a few. lines, as from
bur present situations I am uncertninif this dis-
patch may arrive:, I acquainted your Lordship,
in my dispatch of the 11th, that the army of Si-
lesia;*antrAlnit of Jilt Prince Royal, were q eke-
- •rat ein the Saale on the .11th inst. On7the 12th,
it appeared, that' oe.enemy had.eollected consi-
derably on the )44tr bank of Ole Mulda,•beiween
Duben, Eilenberg, and ,fesidtz, While at the
,- •same time' it WAS believed be remained in force
against the Grand Army ; but all his forces.seemed
to be concentrated between the Mulda, Leipsie,
aud Tolgau. • •
The Grand Army on the 12th", according to ad-
• likes received here, was posted as follows :--=-The
• main body at Altenburg) General Wittgenstein's
corps Boma, where it appears he
.liad suc-.
cefsfiti alfait with the enemy ; Cienevol li:leituttt at
• Prohberg ; • Climate; Guilty and Thielman at Zeitz;
Prince 'Maurice Lielden,nein ; General
liennigsen had advaiieed from .I`eterswalde and
Dodna to Waldheim ; and General. Ilabint had a
• very brilliant affair before Dresden on the 10th ;
be alto succeeded in carrying the- tote-du-poet at
Pima,. destroyed the boats, ,and took cannon and
• prisoners. The enemy has only left,. according
to report, twelve thousand men as alarrison in
• Dresden.

'l'o this general information was added the re-
port, that the enemy had dtbouched from Witten-
berg on the right hank of the Elbe, and had fore-
ed the,corps of General Thumen to retire on the
11th. it became now of the greatest importance
to ascertain-the amount of the enemy's force pass-
- ing at Wit enherg. That Blm:Tarte should
4 adopt a measure, passing with all his army at
Torgau and 'Wittenberg, which abandons, all his
communications, and allows all the Allied Armies
to he united and placed between him and France,.
steins so desperate, and so little 'in military .cal-
ciliation, that until this interesting crisis de-
velope itself, it is impossible Lo pronounce an
opinion. .
-• The Crown' Prince; upon the above state of
affairs, re-crossed the Saale on the 13th, and
nuirched to Codicil, where he has taken post
being thus within march of General Iluchet at
Halle, each army can reciprocally support each
other, and combine their muvethents j and the
grand Army may b,c expected every hour at Leip-
. sig. The .news of this day i 5, that six divisions
of the enemy's. aroy, and the guards have paesed
at 'Wittenberg, and ace directing themselves on
Lenin,
Our communications'across' the:Elbe at nos-
lan and Acken have been attacked, and the former
given up by General Tanentzein, who,. to avoid
heing taken in the rear by the enemy, who had
passed at 'Wittenberg, bus joined General Thu,
men, and is falling back. on Zerbst, and toWardi
Potsdam.
The momentary loss of our"communications
across the Elbe, except below MaAdeburg, may
ii
be a temporary inconvenience, but the nnihila-
tiOn of the French army being the sole object,
the Crown Prince has adopted the resolution of
Jrarching to Ilalle, und joiniiig the corps of Gen.
Blucher and, the Grand Army ; and when all the
armies shalt be united„ it Will ht indeed strange
if year Lordship does not receive a good account
of the enemy.
The intelligence of the treaty being signed with
:Bavaria has arrived at the Grand Army.
General •Wallmoden's corps, as well as General
Taucn4ein's must act according to circumstances;
it is difficult decidedly to say what line they will
udopt.--;-.1 have the honour to be, &c.

Lono-:-•The accounts transmitted in mvdis-
.
, patch of the I ;Rd inst. founded on tlic information
- then reeeived of six divisions of the enemy's young
guards having debouchcd fromiVittel,berg, as al-
t) troops from Torgau, or, the tight bank of the
:Elbe, likewite his having taken possession of Des-
San, May cause ft teatporary anxiety in the public
mind lam anxious-therefore as early as'possible
..:to.remove.ir,atrd I now have the honour to inform
your Lordship, that, according to later intelli-
gence received, the enviny is recalling his troops
from the direction of tVittenberg, and the Lower
INinhla, and seems to be as:4emblint them in the
ueighboiirliood of .Leipsic, Tancha, and Eiden-
berg. This intelligence is )n part derived from
'Lieutenant-Colonel of the French-Staff, taken
prisoner, on whom was 1011114 u letter addressed to
Marshal Marmont, enjoining Hint to pot him Self
ire march for LcipSte, and.to place himself under
the ordeal; of Murat. 7.

'The enemy's forces 'that 'have been manceniTing
on the right bank of the Mulda, and that crossed_
the Elbe, are commanded by Marshals Ney and
Marmont and they have tin studion,ly concealed

,
their movements by marches and eutint;r-marehes,
kind the country is, so enclosed and difficult' near
the conflux of those rivers, that the information
i$ not precise. The intelligene6 however, from
the Grand •Army i,, positive 38 to the enemy's .as-
scmblage. ,41 the neighbourhood of Leipsig. On
the 14th lie retired from Zerbst, and Mthdrew
from :Nelsen, where he hail shown himself; hav-
ing our ale-de-pont at Russian, he
abandoned- it,. and the Co3saelis- of General
WintzingerOile',s corps of the Prince Royal's army
drove him. from Dessau, which was occupied.
These different events confirmed the,other intel-
ligence, and appearances denoted thc:Moveinent
born Wittenberg to have been undertalien with a
view of alluring the Northern al my to repass the
Libe. Upon general military principles, to have
recrossed that river without possessing Wittenberg
rnav be, by Many, a doubtful, if not an injudicious
undertaking ; bat, imn the other hand, must be ba-
lanced the advantages derived from the „„ion of
about three hundred thousand men, surround;ug
the enemy on all points; the state o demoraliza-
