meat, which the groundlavoured, it was intended to
turn the enemy's right between Weissenfels and LUt-
xen, while his attention was directed to his left be
the latter place and Leipsic.
As soon as their Majesties saw .the troops placed
according to the disposition, the whole was put in
motion towards the enemy.
The country is uncovered and open, the soil dry
and light, but with very considerable varrety of hill
and valley, and much intersected by hollow ways and
mill-streams, the former nOt discernable till closely
approached.
The enemy, placed behind a long ridge, and in a
string of villages, of which Gorscheri is the princi-
pal, with-a hollow way in front, and a stream suffi-
cient to float timber on the left, waited the near ap-
proach of the Allies.
He had an immense quantity of ordnance, of 12
pounders, and larger natures, distributed through-
out the line, and in. the villages ; the batteries in the
open, country were supported by masses of infantry
in solid squares.
The plan of operation determined upon, on view
of the enemy, was to attack the village of Gros Gots-
, clip; with artillery and infantry, and in the mean-
while to pierce the line to the enemy's right of the vil-
lages, with a strong column of cavalry, in order to
cut off the troops in the villages from support.
The remainder of the enemy's line was to be en-
gaged, according to circumstances, by the corps
opposed to it.
The cavalry of the Prussian reserve, to whose lot
this attack fell, presented themselves and supported
their movements with great gallantry. but the showers
of grape-shot and musketry, to which they were ex-
posed on reaching the hollow way, made it imprac-
ticable for them to penetrate; and the enemy appear-
ing deterrnivd to maintain the villages at any ex-
pence, the affair assumed the most expensive cha-
racter of attack and defence, of a pc.st repeatedly
taken, lost, and retaken.

The cavalry made several attempts to break the
enemy's line, and behaved with the most exemplary
coolness and regularity under very heavy fire ; in
some of these attacks they succeeded in breaking into
the squares and cutting down the infantry.
Late in the evening, Bonaparte having called in
the troops from Leipsic, and collected all his re.
serves} made an attack from his left on the right of
the Allies, supported by the fire of several batteries
advancing.
• The vivacity of this movement blade it expedient.
to change the front of the nearest brigades on the
right, and as the whole cavalry from the left was or-
dered to the right to turn this attack, and to charge
it, I 'was not without hopes of witnessing the destruc-
tion of Bonaparte and all his army ; but before the
cavalry could arrive, it became so dark, that nothing
could be distinguished but the flashes of the guns.
The Allies remained in possession of the disputed
villages, and of the line on which the enemy had
stood.

Order were given to renew the attack in the
morning, but the enemy did not wait for it, and it
was judged expedient, with reference to the general
posture of the cavalry, not to pursue. The wounded
have all been removed across the Elbe, while the
cannon and prisoners taken, and the ground wrested
from the enemy in the action, are iucontestible proofs
of the success of the Allies.
Both. Sovereigns were in the field the whole day.
' The * King was chiefly near the village where his
troops were engaged. The Emperor was repeatedly
in every part of the field, where he was received
with the most animating cheers by every corps he
approached. The fire, to which his person was not
unfrequently exposed, and the casualties which took
place near him, did not appear in the least to dis-
tufb his attention from the objects to which it was
directed, and which he followed without any osten-
tation.

General Wittgenstein, with the army, is between
the Elbe and the Elster, with the command of seve-
ral bridges over the former.
The Russian troops of all arms fully realised the
expectations I had formed of their bravery and stea-
diness, and the emulation and spirit of patriotism
which pervades the Prussian army, merits the highest
encomittm.—l have the honour to be, &c.

Ships and Veskis on the North American Station, to Joint
Wilson Croker, Esq.
On board the San Domingo, off Annapolis,
Chesapeake, April
Stn.--I request you to inform their Lordships, that
in proceeding up this Bay, off the river Rappahan-
nock, five sail of armed vessels were discovered ; im-
mediately ordered the Maidstone and Statira, with
the Fantome and Mohawk brigs, and Highflyer ten-
der, to pursue them into the river ; however it falling
little wind, the signal for the boats of the squadron,
manned and armed, was repeated, and they were all
sent in under the direction of Lieutenant Fucking-
home, of this ship ; and after a most gallant attack
from the officers, seamen, and marines in the boats,
and a determined resistance from the enemy's ves-
sels, who were prepared to receive them, the whole
were carried, with the loss of two killed and eleven
wounded on our side.

I beg leave to refer their Lordships to the enclosed ii
letter! from Lieutenant Puckinghorne, for further
particulars of this brilliant affair, which I trust will
meet with their Lordship? approbation.
Lieutenaut.Brand having formerly lost an arm,
and being so unfortunate as to lose his remaining
one, as a volunteer upon this occasion, I trust their
Lordships will confer a mark of reward for the mis-
fortune of a most courageous, zealous, young man.
I have the honour' to be, &c.

Star-In pursuance of orders to proceed with the
boats of the squadron you did me the honour to place
under my command, and attack the enemy's vessels
at the mouth of the-Rappahannock; I have to inform
you, that; after rowing 15 miles, I found they were
• -

font mad schOnners drawn np in a line a-head,. ap.
wend); determined to give us a warm reception
notwithstanding their formidable appearance, and
the advantage they would necessarily derive from
mutual support, I determined to attack them, the
issue of which k such as might have been expected,
from the brave men you did me 'the honour to com-
mand, and is as follows, yip.
Arab, of 7 guns and 45 men, run on shore and
boarded by two boats of the arlborough, under

pinnice.
Racer, of 6 guns and 36 men, boarded and ear.
:led, after a sharp resistance, by the San Domingo's
pinnace.
Dolphin, of 12 guns and 98 men. The guns of the
Racer were turned upon her, and then gallantly
boarded by Lieutenant Aishop in the Statira's large
cutter, and Lieutenant Ljddpn in the Maidstone's
launch.

It would be an injustice to all those ofPcers and
men, were I not to bear testimony to their gallant
and intrepid conduct;—it was such as to merit the
highest encomium;

ed, and have the honour to be, &c.
