Mr Loan--On the Bth instant, the corps of Count
Wittgenstein; and that part of General Kleist's
corps, under the orders of General Zietheu, which
bad advanced again through the mountains beyond
Peterswalde and Zehista,- on the road towards Dres-
den, were attacked by a very superior force of the
enemy, and a very sharp affair took place. -
Count Wittgenstein had his head-quarters at Pirna,
when the enemy begin their advance. The chief
contest dUring the day was for the village of Dohni,
which was defended with much valour and bravery
by the Allies : but the enemy bringing up increasing
numbers towards the evening, Count Wiugenstein
determined to fall back and evacuate'Dohna : Gene-
ral Ziethen's corps, therefore, was ordered to occupy
Pirna in the evening, and Count Wittgenstein's corps
retired towards Peterswalde.
The loss of the Allies, in this day's action, may
be estimated at about one thousand men killed and
wounded ; that of the enemy was much more eon.
Siderrstile.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland-was
in the field, and assisted at this day's action. •
thneral Kleinan, with a corps, had been detached
towards Freyherg and Chemnitz on the left, while
the. Austrians• had moved, at I stated in a formir
dispatch, to Aussig and Leutmeritz, on the Elbe.
On the 9th, the enemy cot.tinued his advakici,and
the Allies retired, fighting every inch of ground in
the mountains. Bonaparte had arrived, and a very
large force was advancing, either with a determina-
tion to make a general attack, or for the purpose of
great demonstrating, to cover a retrograde movement,
and the removal of a large magazine of powder from
Konigstein to Dresden.

On the advance of the enemy, orders were im-
mediately sent for the Austrians to countermarch,
and the Allies immediately began to collect all their
forces in the already victorious fields of•Culni and
Toplitz.

On the 10th, the enemy pressed seemingly with
greater force from the mountains'en Culm and.to-
wards Toplit: ; they had advanced not only with the
columns that followed Cobalt Wittgenstein's rear, but'
also with another very coasiderable corps by Zinn-
walde and Kraufen.

At this time the Austrian columns had not corns

Towards evening, a strong detachrnent of the ene-
my's tight troops got possession of the road which
leads through the pus to Aitenbergr and drove is the
grenadieri of the Russians nearly to the plain below.
As the enemy made use of no cannon, and did not
appear upon the Peteriwalde road at the same time,
there appeared no indication of a serious attack at so
late an hour in the day.

The Allies, however, threw back their lett, placing
troops and guns all along the
.foot Of the hill, be-
tween the village of Calm and Toplitz, while the

to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General CountWALL.
WOMEN, slated

Head-quarters, Dondtz, September 20. -
MY LORD —Since my.last report, dated Schwerin
the 4th instant, Marshal Daioust continued upon the.
River Stocknitz. air
Having moved to Muslim, T caused a bridge' of
boats to be there built across the Elbe; with 4: kte-ele-
too, in order to pass the river as soon as the enemy
should appear upon the left bank, although he re-
mained combined With the Danes, with whom I imi-.
gined he had ceased to co-operate in consequence of
the late disjoined march of the French troops upon
Ratzeburgh, and of the Danes upon Lubeck :—the
enemy continued, contrary to my expectations, in a
state of inactivity for several days. I consequently
once more made a movement towards him, fixing my
bead.quarters at Hagenow on the 12th inst. '
But having been apprised by intercepted letters of
Marshal Davoust's intention to detach eight or nine
thousand men, in order to clear the left bank.of the
Elbe, and advance towards Magdeburg, I crossed
the river at mid-night, on the 14th instantonear Do-
mitz, taking the troops under my command, with
the exception of -the Swedes and Mecklenburgers,
who remained in the position of Grevesmulhen, and
the Hanseatic legion, which I Left with the infantry
of Luuow's corps on the right bank.
.•
On the Isth I occupied the position of JetZel, near
Dauenberg.
In the mean time, Marshal Davoust had detached
the General of Division Pechenx, with the chief part
of his division, which, having passed the Elbe, had
marched upon pahlenburg..
' Late on the evening of the 15th, I was informed
this force had taken up the position of Gorde.
' Otkthe following morning, the 16th, at dat-break,
I put the troops in motion. The enemy had occupied
the heights in front of Gorde, on the Dannenberg
road. I posted my troops in the valley, with the
view of concealing my numbers from the enemy, al
well as there to await his attack.
Towards mid-day, I received intelligence that he
had but partiallyoccnpied Gorde, and that the main
part of his force was between the villages 'of Olden-
don( and Eichsdorf, a quarter of a German milein
rear of Gorde. No time was now to be lost in mak-
ing the attack.

- -c-

I caused the Hanoverian infantry, with two bat-
teries, to march, under the command of Major-Ge-
neral Lyon, upon the great road leadingto:his M'-a'
jesty's Castle of Gorde, in oilier to attaek'the enemy'
in front ; General Tettenborn forming the advenne.,
guard, with three regiments of Cossacks. I directed*
•at the same time six battalions Of infantry, one bae-*1
tery, and a regiment of hussars of the Rissian Ger-
man Legion, to move under General Arentschildt,
by the forest-of Gorde, to turn the enemy's right
flank, and I detached General Doruberg upon the
enemy's left, towards Dubbelwnid, at the head of the
3d hussars of the King's German Legion, the hussars
of Estorf, one battery of horse artillery, and the half
of the rocket brigade.
