borteen, with three thousand Cossacks and a brigade
of light infantry.
" The secret agents announced that -the Emperor
Napoleon was to pass by Luckau to proceed to Ba.
reach. Gen. Czernicheff executed his orders with his
usual intelligence, and carried alarm and uneasiness
to the tear of the enemy's columns.

to pmceed from the nvirons of Magdeburgh to Bran-
d. nburgh and Potsdam, and from Potsdam to. Saar-
mund, made a rapid movement of five Swedish miles
in-ten hours.

tacked General Thumen at Trebbin, on the 22d, in I
the morning. Their superiority determined the Ge-'
neral to evacuate that post. The enemy advanced I
successively, and occupied all the interval between
Mittenwald and the Saare, covered by woods and
Banked by marshes. The advanced posts fell back
slowly, and covered the front of the line. On the

Gross Beren the enemy was at one thousand toises
from the centre of the camp. General Bulow re-
ceived orders to attack it; he executed it with the

with the calmness that distinguished the soldiers of
the Great Frederick in the seven years' war. The
cannonade was warm for some hours. The troops
advanced under the protection of the artillery, and
fell with the bayonet upon the 7th corps, which had
deployed in the plain, and Which marched boldly upon
the camp. There were several charges of cavalry
against the corps of the Duke of Padua, which do
great honour to the Prussian General Oppen. The
