Dis'patebei, of which the following ire copier, have.
been this day received by Viscount Castlereagh,' his
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
:•Affairs, from ieutenant.General the Honourable
• Sir Charles William Stewart, K. B. dated
Gottingen, November 2, 11113.
MY Lotto—The intended movement of the main.
body of the
.army of. the North on Cassel, as de-
tailed in my tat
_dispatch, has been arrested, and the.
Prince Royale:4oo been induced to direct his opera-
tions towards tanover and the North, for the fol-
lowing reasons
Marshal Davoust is still in position on the right
bank of the Elbe, and seems very. unwilling to se-
parate front the Danes, So long as he can retain his
hold ; the corps of Lieutenant-General Walmoden
is not of sufficient *force to act offensively without
considerable aid. The extermination of the enemy
hi the North of Germany ; the possession of Bremen,
the mouths of the Weser and the Elbe; the speedy
reduction of Hamburgh ; the advantage of opening
an immediate communication with England during
the winter ; the. liberation of his Majesty's Electoral
ekirsliniowsi and the organization -cf its civil aud
military power; the facility that will be afforded to
the futureoperations of the northern army, either in
Holland or.on the Rhine, when their rear is entirely
secure ; and.lnstly, the hope of cutting off Marshal
I,avoust completely from Holland, are the united
:considerations which . have determihed his R.pyal
Highness to alter his ,proposed movement, and the.
-army of the north is nossiim march tut Bremen and
Handers+. from whence, it wiu be directed
.against
the remaining forces of the enemy in
.the North of

Germany. . . .
• The Prince Royal transferred his bead-quarters
from Miihlhausen to DingeLtadt on the 29th, on
the 90th to tleiligepstadt, and yesteriky to this place.
—The advanced guard, under Lieutenant.:General
Wurta,l4o4l, and the. Kusstans,
.under General Win.,
zinAeroje, entered (tassel on the Stith. The Swedes
and Prussians were in the neighbourhood of Heir...j
genstadt on that day, when his Royal Highness ale-
termined on a change in his line of movement.
Reports arrived -from General Czernicheff, dated
from Neuhaus the 27th. He details, that having
Joined General :iloweiski wish another partizan corps
from the grand army, he proceeded to Fulda, which
town he occupied, waking five: hundred prisoners:
be.then destroyed the enemy's magazines and pro-
ceeded to hre-ak down die bridges and
~render
roads as impracticable as possible, having contrived
•44it, poor himself . l.etween 'the enemy's main body
... . .. .. . ..
and their advance. The manner General Czerni-
cheff harasses them is; nut 19 be desscribed. While
in his positiortat Vittla, he perce.ves ,the advance of
their collected force, consisting of sortie squadrons of
gens d'arniies Moving towards the town—he imme-
diately advances .with his Cossacks,- charges and
overthrows them, and silienretnrns to follow the ad-
vanced gwird on the great road towards Frankfurt,
carrying destruction to all the enemy's means before
their arrival. ..
General Czernicheff states that
,Bonaparte went
from Eisenach to 'shell, and that he had the inten-
• tion of going to the Weser, but the march of the
• Prince Royal and Marshal Blucher preveeted him,
and he siipposes his line will now be Wetzlar. He
adds, his army is reduced to fifty thousand men'
armA and collected. ' Many of the enemy, how-
ever, are' retiring in _different directions, evea with-
out firms—the retreat brcibly resembles that from
-nussia.
-A' party of Cossacks took a French Colonel, with
"4*kt:h.. from J..ronie El ma parte to Murat. I enclose
•''ainiSY of it, as it. is an interesting document.
Vany acconnts agree, that the greatest consterna-
• ti ,i's *reigns in France, and interior discontent is ma.
infesting itself very gene; ally.
From the intrepid and dexterous exploits of the

gran) movements of the allies.
The Eiiip-rolshea.l-quarters were at Melrichstadt

teinher•;;• troops. General Wtede was in communi-
c.tzion. with Orloff, Mensgilc4, and the partizan
