EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A !RUSSIAN OPPICER

AT. DESSAU., DATED TEM BTO OF MAY.

Affairs look well. The theatre of war is ()u tile
Upper I,llbe, drawn towards Dresden and Meissen,
tvlu our army has taken a position 'which Na-
poleon cannot attack without running a great risk
of coining . off with the worst. Iltilow's corps
(which in pursuance of orders bad again quitted
Balle) is now in a very good position. It is said,
that Napoleon's army, in- the battle of Great
Gorschen, was 130,000 strong.
HANnuaGu, MAY 14.—1 t is said that Leipsie
was taken possession of by the French troops, an
the evening of the sth. The fair was contimed
without disturbance, and according to all
appearance, turn out well.
According to ptivate accounts received from
Dresden, a fresh action took place on the Eith inst.
near Zwenkau, (between LeiWiic and Pegan),
which the French, were repulsed, and obliged to
leave 21 pieces of artillery behind them.

STETTIn, MAY C.—The French conlinue mare
and More to fortify themselves in the interior of
`this. town, and to oppress the inhabitants. A
new contribution is to beleiled-0140,000 dollars,
besides many necessaries of wearing apparel; and
which must be defrayed by the 18th inst, with-
out any lenity shewn.

On the day before yesterday, at break of day,
the enemy began to cannonade our position at
Fintenwalde very briskly) and for which purpose'
he bad, during the night, brought 21 and 12
pounder cannon' into his batteries. Our artillery
fired v0...t so 'much effect, that it silenced that of
the enemy, although it was superior in number,
and heavier metal, and the Governor was obliged
to abstain from his intention of storming our in-
trenclunent, fur which purpose some squadrons
had marched out from Stettin.

This cannonade-continued 12 hours, and it is
with pleasure that I can assert, that the loss on
Our side consisted only in three -men slightly
wounded. According to reports given by de-
serters, the enemy has lost a great many in killed
and Wounded, and had likewise had a quantity of
artillery dismounted., Major Von KNOBLOCK had
likewise a trifling affair on the 2d inst. in which
the tirailleurs of his detachment particularly distin-
guished themselves, and drove the enemyback to the
glacis of Damn. Out artillery continue to distin—
guish themselves in every opportunity,and the rest of
the troops exhibit themselves in the most respectable
light. Desertions from the Dutch and Germans arc
very.frequent,and.sickness is making great devust a-
t ion amotig the garrison'. Ajar VON KKontocii.,
with his battalion, has this day had a skirmish near
the Blueoaz Mile, and repulsed the .enemy with
considerable loss.

LETTER ?ROM AN OFFICER IN THE CORPS OP
BLUCHER.

After tie victory of the 2d May, near Ours-
chen, the Russian and Prussian army made a
movement to the left, in order to provide itself
with ainmunition, and enable it to obtain a new
victory: We proceeded, however, with theut-
most caution. We feared to endanger the fortu-
nate issue of the sacred cause, by any precipitate
step, while•our'army ofreserVe•had not come, up.
,re. contented ourselves .with having gained the
field of battle, .and not h e rin g the enemy to re-
gain an inch of the ground.
" We had completely driven the enemy hack.
on the two wings; and are in possession Jf his
first position the night. after t!te oatile.' A noble
spirit animated oar SqUat!!..l)s. I was an eye
witness' at many proofs of this. When towards
evening a great superiority of inunbers pressA upon
us, and retook from use for A moment the Conquered
villages, a force collected from the different batta-
lions--;it was only small, but no One titoughtof
numbers-,-Forward! Harcid, ! Harrah! •was the,
word. The troops pressed into the village, bore
down all before it, and passed throng') it
vic-
tors. A destructive fire from the enemy here to:A
place ; numbers fell, and our brave fellows seemed
stunned for a moment; but in no instant:after was
heard again —,lorward ! )larval) ! Hurrah !
They rushed upon the enemy, and pursued him
through another . •
In the'snean time two pieces of cannon, and
soon afterwards two others, arrived to support
them:, Many troops followed them; Russian and
Prussian Officers, and tWo Engilsh OfficerS, were.
seen fighting like common
.men. No notice was
taken of the wounded ; every one was two busily
employed in fighting. The ine:tperienced youths
of the volunteer Jager detachments, the ratve.st
recruits of the regiments, fought like the brave
Russian soldiers, accustomed to victory.
" Thus was the battle fought on our right
wing;, what passed on the left I do not know
but I sane that the field of battle was gained,. and
the enemy driven from his position.
• "The enemy's cavalry did not show itself against.
our right wing ; on the. left wing I hear that it ne-
via;via;made a stand., As far as J know there was-no
cavalry in the engagement of any consequenCe,
though the. cavalry, as well in their active Cah-
nonade of the enemy, as '‘vell as whenever they
hid an,opportunity of attacking the infantry, dis-
played the greatest bravery.
