" The grand Austrian Army. combined with a
Lassies and Prussian corps, on the 17th put itself in

On the 20th, a considerable corps advanced before
Toeplitz, and directed its march upon the position
which Marshal St. Cur. occupied, with a part of his
cores d'artneewne# the defile of Hillendorf.
Se The enusny there .chewed a great superiority of
faros. A division belonging to Marshal St. Cyr
retired in the night between the 22d and 23d, under_
the walla of Dresden, after having disputed the
ground foot by foot with the enemy. During this
time strong enemy's columns approached that capital
by different roads.
." On the 23d some corps took a position upon the
heights of Lockwitz. Other columns advanced from
diferent sides. It was doubted whether the enemy
'would make any attempt against Dresden, disorder
in his movetneht was visibly perceived by his slim-
ness and hesitatiOn.
a It was on- the 24th expected to be observed that
the enemy extencted his left wing to Platen. Few
'troops were seen upon the heights, because they were
in die reverse on the other side. During the night
all Was "perfectly tranquil.
" On the 25th, towards the evening, extended
lines were seen, it was from that supposed the enemy
must be extremely strong, and that he intended to
attempt some important enterprise.

were completely re established. Whitever was not

buildings, the occupation of which appeared advan-

and turni:lozd with loop-holes; considerable works
stx.tended in the country roural the suburbs to the
distance of 1000 toises. They consisted of redoubts
which mutually defended each other, which had a
Commandant and a uskicient garrison to waintain
them.

to descend into the plain; his lines appeared on every

corps to make them tzke the posts assigned them be-

peror Napoleon Arrived with all his guards. His
arrival assured all minds it was the signal of victory.

FRONTIERS OF BAVARIA, SEPTEMBER S.
Recent intelligence assures us, that the Bavarian
army has entered Upper Austria, and is marching
upon Lintz, whilst the Army of Italy is penetrat►ng
into Austrian Carinthia, and approaching the fron-
tiers of Myna.
Accounts from the Bavarian and Italian Tyrol
continue to be very satisfactOry.

" At three O'clock the enemy began the attack by
unmasking a battery of 40 pieces of cannon, which
he had erected the preceding night in the great gar.
'der. To spread terror and disorder, the enemy for
an hone and a halt made howitzers play upon the
city, which however produced hut little effect. Only
- some houses were damaged arid not rue bernt. At
half.past three they had commenced deploying ac-
cording to the Emperor's dispoe:tions: and at six the
enemy was repulsed at every point where he had at-
tacked. All the line which he occupied as well as
the vast extent of the great garden were filled with
his dead. The enemy's :limy which surrounded
Dresden is estimated at 150,0u0 men.
• 44 On the 27th, 'at four, a. es. the French troops
were ell at their posts. The Duke of Belluno and
Ragusa's corps, as well as General Latour Mau-

of thin remarkable day has increased phe tainitsphs elf
the preceding one.
46 Thus this grand army, which in some Ptun ex-
pected to be masters of Dresden, was in'the same
space of time dissipated, and almost dissolved !
What a lesson !—in a single day Detashtiients ttf
the train, and the remains of columns, continue to be
taken in the mountains. The unhappy prisoner* are
without clothing. They sink under want aad fatigue.
44 The Austrian army left its frontiers before its
organization was finished, and before its equipment
and clothing were complete. A delay of six months,
and the employing in equipping it some millions,
which Austria had not at her disposal, were requisite
for making it act, and opening with some success a
campaign such as that she had commenced. •
66 The (mall number of old soldiers who are in the
army is considered as astonishing. Its greater part'
consists of young men of 18 years and under. In a
single day it has lost a third part of the men of which
lit was composed. It is now endeavouring to regain
'Bohemia by cross roads, where it necessarily must
lose part of its maierigh There are few examples of
a misfortune of this kind having fallen upon a new
army, animated, as it appears, by the enthusiasm of
patriotism and which had all the advantages of acting
offensively or defensively on its side. The events
round Dresden can only be compared to those of
Ulm. A storm of rain which did not cease falling
during the 27th, rendering this comparison still more
striking.
46 The Emperor was on the 19th in Bohemia tierlintl
Gabel, his advanced post bad advanced to Bohemish
Lissa, near Prague.
66 On the 21st he beat the Russian army in Silesia,
and on the 26th appeared before Dresden, where be
also beat the grand Austrian army, Wittgenstein's
Russian corps,. and Xleist's Prussian corps.
64 Those armies which calculated upon certain vic-
tory, fled in disorder and sought their salvation be-
yond the mountains from whence they had debauched
with so much confidence.
44 We are assured the Emperor of Austria had ar-
rived at Pirna. It is added, that during the battle,
he returned to Toeptitz. The Emperor Alexander
did not quit the army. It even appears-that he com-
manded in person agreeably to the instructions
/women who are traitor* to their country.
44 He supped on the night of the 25th, upon.the
heights of Roekuita, where be bad at his table Prince
Schwartzenberg, Commander-in .Chief of the Au-
strian Army; the Ex-General Francois Moreau, and
General Langenau, who deserted the Saxon service.
General Moreau had returned from the interior of
America, in the hope of directing a mortal blow
against the glory (lithe French armies, although it was

to assist in directing against the capital of his country
that blow which threatened his Waster's life." •
