which every one was to retire front the streets
iniU his own house, and not to leave it for three
hours. AU the vaults were. closed. When the
first gun was fired, every one stood fixed,, as if
struck with a tit, and then turned back with the
utniutitAuenketeos. The explosion fortunately d.(l
not thtMage any of the; neighbotteing buildings.
The- French troops having after that time daily
decreased; and the Russians having already been

the Elbe below Meissen, upon which, All the
French and Bavarians still reuiaiiiiug here, left

at the Sandkruge, and took possession of See-

Scarcely evert the needfol dispositions made,
When Major Count Pus:Atkin, who
.was posted
with a regiment of Cossacks at ticket:fell, was
attacked by three battalions of French infantry
and 260 cavalry, with two pieecs of artillery.
This brave officer succeasfully kept. the enemy
employed, until a regiment of cavalry of
,the
el vi-
sion of time Colonel-Baron Von Paideit came to
his support. Both these regiments now, on their
side, attacked the enemy, drove him back to \Vcr-
hen, and made two officers and sixty Men prkon-
cis. The vicinity, of.the enemy rtiidered it advis-
-able that General Von Doroberg, on crossing the
riser a second time, should nut passant Sandk rug,
but somewhat lower down, near Leotzen, which
he accordingly did, on the 31st of March. lipou
this the following disposition was made • General
Dornberg`a infantry marched to Danneoberg, the
cavalry under Gm Von Beukendorif to Luckow,
and the corps Of Gmat. Von Tschernisched towards
Wustrow. The last-named General had, to se-
cure this motion, detached two regiments of Cos-
sacks, under the command of Colonel Von Was-
Soff, to Seehausen, whit orders to follow the other
corps by the way of Arendsee and Salzwedel, to
oppose the enemy posted bet weeWStendal and Gar-
delve-,en. Scarcely was this posAion taken, when
.Geeerals Von BOroberg amid Tschernisched

of upwar.. of three thousand infantry, eleven
cannon, "no three "inked cavalry were Pn'ssiug
forward by the way of TOttstadt to Luneburg, to
pielisn the inhabitants of that town, for having
dared to take up Ilas, and wilh the assistance of

which wished to take possasaitio of the' towil.

In consequence of the troops having ,emote

burg. Here-they were informed that oti this very
forenoon several executions were to take place in
Luneburg, and -that a number of victims were
again to attest the tyranny of the oppres-
sors of Germany. They, therefore, determin-
ed to attack the city on the moment, and for
Which they made the following dispositions: The
Coloael Raton Von Pahlen was ordered by (kn.
Von Tschernisebelf to surround the town on the
left bank of the Elinenau With 2 regiments of Cos-
sacks, and commence the attack there„ and draw
the attention of the enemy from the point of the
main attack, intended to be made
,011 the right
bank of the Elmenati, At the same time, General
Tschernischeff caused the position of Bienenhiatel
to be strongly garrisoned, it being of the greatest
importance to the enemy fur surrounding the Rus-
sian corps. Gen. Bomber., hail likewise the fore-
sight to detach a regiment of Cossacks to Dallen7
burg to cover the roads to Dannennerg, Garton°,
and Lekow, awl guard the passage over the Nettie
with one coin pan y of infantry audit cannon. Scarcely
had these•two corps approached the town, on the
right bank of the Elmenao, within the distance of
two cannon shot, and dra w titeaiselees up in order,
.antler cover of bushes and hedges, than Col. Baron
Von Pahlen with great skill,corntueucecltheattack
on the other side with the expected success. The
enemy went against him with two battalions of in-
fantry and three pieces ot, artillery, with intent
to CI-IL him off from the :owl to Bieuenbuttel.—
Both parties... encountered at -this place, and
charged each Other briskly. Generals Von Barn-
bere,' Von Benkendorlf, and Von Tseheroischeff
now caused ow their side the cavalry to advance
jo such a manner, that Von Benkeudorlf led the
right, antlTsChernischell the left wing. The ene-
any , who was in total ignorance at' the strength of
(lie Ruasian and Prussian 'corps, and imegitted that
he bad only to' deal with a few Cossacks, was
hereby surprised :" he, howthr, detached about a
battalion of infantry, with two cannon, and 150
cavalry, on this side. This eau-dry Was imme-
diately attacked, and defeated by Colonel Von
Bedraga, and the two cannon were likewise cut oil'
front the town and taken. At the game time Ge-

A brisk tire of noisktlry now commeueeti, as the

effort, who being mown by . the Itnsstail and
Prussian file of grape-shot, sow there ~slits no

pieces ot artillery, (four of which were taken by
the corps of General Dornherg; four by that. of
General Tschernischelf, and one by, General Th.
tenborn's Cossacks) ; two of the foresail guns, awl
two pair of colours, were presented to Genet:a
Tschernistlieff by Colonel von ?Alen, and he re-
ceived a third pair of colours by the Finland
went of Dragoons, under the coMmand of Celo.tel

Coa of the Corps, and General of Division,
Morand himself, who is severely wounded ; and
besines him the Chief of iris General Staff, Dc
Lourde, the §'axon Colonel Von, Eherstein,
Poisy, and all the OfScers of the General Staff.—
In the. whole, we have taken upwards of leo offi-
cers,. and 2201) privates, prisoners.
In general the zeal and assiduity, conthined
with judgment,. evinced by the Generals in this
first battle of the combined Russian nail Prussian
troops on the left bank of the Elbe, reflects the
greatest !meiotic on then). The valour of the su-
perior officers, and the courage of the soldiers, is
above all praise, Every individual has ptovted, on
this glorious day, what may be effected by pa-
triotism and zeal for the good cause.
The first considerable battle on the German
ground, ahem two weak battalions of infantry,
and by reason or the many detachments inade,:
only taloa 2t., 0 'rivalry, have taken a town en-
compassed wi It walls and ditches, arid, which was
defended with we greatest obstinacy, is certainly
deserving of honourable mention in the ttnnals
of this memorable war.
