Translation of the official Account of the Affair between the
Corps under the Command of General Blucher and the ad-
vanced Guard of for Enemy. near Haynau, on the it6th
May.
The Prussian army, united with the corps of
the anssian ,General Barclay de Tolly, had their
bivouac near Haynatt on the 9.6 th May. On the
tßith, they marched in two columns towards
Liegnitz. The first column was composed of the
carps of Barclay de 'folly and D'Ydrek ; the se-
cond, at the corps of Lieneral Wucher. The
rear guard halted on -the other side of Haymen,
in order to oppose the enemy, who usually pushed
on from eleven o'clock in the morning till night.
As the enemy advanced, General Blucher or-
tiered his column to retire through the plains of
Ilaynatt to Steudeutz and Golsdorif, leaving 21
squadrons of cavality, with .22 pieces of flying ar-
tillory, under the comm and of Gen, Von Ziethen,
in the enemy's• rear. General Von Ziethen ob-
served the strength of the enemy from the wind-
mill of Bandinansdorif, which w as ordered to be
fired, as a signal. for the Prulsian cavalry to at-
'tacit, and for thug rear guard to halt and oppose
the enemy.
At eleven o'clock the enemy ;eared from

Genera Von Ziethen, seeing a French division
following our rear guard, resolved to strike a
great hjliw, and,, trusting to the gallantry of the

troops,- gave enter% to starer the enemy to plns
on, and to.iitta,wk him in rear ; hut our cavadhy
bad already 'quitted their ambuscade, anti ad-
vanced against the right flank of the enemy. The
windmill was fired, and the whole of the rear
,guard made front against the French,: who form-
ed themselves in squares.
Dispositlons had been made for the horse-ar-
tillery to throw the enemy into disorder, at which,
tiine the cavalry were to have attacked than ;
but the impatience of the latter allowed no time
.for the. artillery to produce the desired effect.
Atter one discharge of cannon, the cavalry rushed
in upon thetimemy's squares, which were sue-
cessive.ly destroyed, ceased, and a
battery of tweh'e guns,
.with thirteen hundred
pvisoneTs, fell' into our hands. When the dust
which had concealed him-cleared' away, we saw
the remainder:of 'General:•Maison's division re-
treating 'on llaynati.
The battle lasted only half an hour, and not a
single man of 'our infantry MIS engaged, it hav-
ing marched towards Liegnitz,
The brigade nf. General:Von Ziethen alone te-'
rnaitied on the heights behind Golsdord.
