and Commetati, and after forcing the camp of Ilma, a V
commanded by ST. Cva, placed themselves before I
Dresden, between that City and Leipsic. Our Readers
will perceive, that if BONAPARTE or rather his main
body had pursued BLUCHER any further, Dresden
would have been nearly defencelese.

The French Imperial Guards, however, returned
to Dresden by forced marches, and they were there
on the 24tb,tn the morning. Mean time, M‘Dowatin
was bold enough to move upon Jauer, on the 25th
and 26tb....em the latter; of these days &masa tell
upon bun pa the assailant. The battle did not come
sienee aka three-o'clock in the afternoon ; but before
funset the French were literally driven into the Sam
bath. The trophies to the Allies on this and the sub-
sequent they, were 18,000 prisoners, 103 pieces of
cannon, W ammunition waggons, and in short every
attira il the enemy possessed, for.the Katzbach was
too 'nisch swollen to admit of the passage of carriages
of any description.
The Allies continues' their victorious carreer —they
cleared Silesia of the invaders, and on the 2d en-
camped near Goerlite, in Saxony. On the last day
General BLUCHER issued a most animating Address
to Iris troops, in which, after noticing their adhieve-
ments, he declares it to be his intention to continue
their forward movements.

The detsils of the affairs before Dresden, as we
have alreiady noticed, -are not so ample. The over-
throw of VAN24AAibteS corps belonged exclusively to
the Allies in That direction) and we are only enabled
to add to our forrnet accounts on this subject, that
the Frefich settlement respecting VANDAMME having
disapFeared," was tolerably accurate. He is a pri-
soner : to this number we have also to add, Generals
GuYoT and HEIJIBROG; and the Engineer HAxo.

The Heligoland Mails inform us of the detection
to the Allies of tour squadrons of Westphalian Hus-
sat:s. These will of course he followed Mr others.
Another Gottenburgh Nlail reached thetPost-Office
this morning, but, with few exceptions, It brings no
intelligence of interest. A lon article in die St.
Petersburgh Gazette announces the accession of
Austria to the confederati on against BoNarints,
and congratulates the Russian naticut on the circum•
stance. An enumeration is given of the Austrian
armies, which are described as in the highest con-

On Sunday. evening his Majesty's cutter Decoy
brought into the Downs a flailing-boat belonging'
either to Blanckenburgh or Ostend, which she fell
in with, standing for Margate to land a passenger
from Ostend. The object of his voyage from Flan-
ders was to endeavour to obtain a licence. He re-
ports, that it was rumoured, when he sailed, that
the French army had sustained a dreadful loss in
mut battles before Dresden.

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, JULY
66 OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.
The answer of the Executive to the Resolution
of the House of Representatives respecting the time,
place, manner, &c. of the first communication to this
Government of the Decree purporting to be a defini-
tive Repeal of the French Decrees of Berlin and Mi-
lan, was yesterday transmitted to the House of Ret
present atives in the form of a Report from the Secre-
tary of State. It is an able and valuable State Pa-
per of considerable length, and will occupy several
columns.
" The Report embraces the following facts, stated
in distinct and unequivocal terms : —That the first
intelligence which this Government received of the
French Decree of the 28th April, 1811, was commu-
nicated by Mr. Barlow, in a letter bearing date on
the 12th May, 1812, which was received by this de-
partment on the 13th July following ; that the first
intimation to Mr. Barlow of the existence of that de-
cree, as appears by his communications, was given by '
the Duke of Bassano, in an informal conference on
some day between the Ist and 10th of May, 1812,
and that the official communication of it to Mr. Bar-
low was made on the 10th of that month at, his re-
quest ; that Mr. Barlow transmitted a copy of that
decree, and of the Doke of Bassano's letter, an-
nouncing it to Mr. Russell, in a letter of May 1 lth, io
which he also informed Mr. Ronal, that the Duke
of Bassano had stated that the decree had been duly
communicated to him ; that Mr. Russell replied, in
letter to Mr. Barlow of the '29th May, that his first
knowledge of this decree was derived from his letter,
and that he has repeatedly stated the same since to
this Government.
" This Secretary of State reports also, that no coin-
' munication of the decree of the 28th April, 1811, was
ever made to this Government by the Minister of
France, or other person, than as is above stated, and
that no explanation of the cause of its not having been
communicated to this Government and published at
the time of its date, was ever made to this Govern-
ment, or, so far as it is informed, to the Representa-
tives or Agents of the United States in Europe. The
