ANOTHER LETTER.

."
Authentic accounts received at Berlin of the
siege of Spandau, say, that Ave of the Russian and
Prussian batteries have been so efficacious, that a great
part of the wall of the citadel being thrown down,
an armistice for six hours was the consequence. If
the French Commandant does not surrender at six
this evening, a storm will be attempted. From the
citadel the enemy fire no more this morning (18th),
but defend themselves behind the ramparts.
" General Baron Winzingerode has published an
energetic Proclamation, threatening to use reprisals
whenever the French shall punish German subjects
for having acted against them.
" Major Hilliery, of the Slelsian hussars, has made
a most daring attack with his squadron, on 1700 foot
and 300 horse, with six cannon, at Langensalza,
where hetenrived in the night of the 12th, after a
march of 40 English miles. He attacked at two in
the morning the enemy, commanded by the Bava-
rian General Rechberg, who, intending to march
away at four o'clock, were on the alert, and made a
warm resistance—yet he took two howitzers, three
cannon, one ammunition waggon, two baggage wag-
gons, and more than twenty horses. The enemy re.
tired en quarrev to Walterhausen. Our loss is incon-
siderable—one subaltern one hussar missing, two hus-
sars dangerously wounded, three or four hussars and
10 or 12 horses slightly wounded. Lieutenant Tra-
benfelds is wounded."

" According to intelligence received here, the
citadel of Dantsic has surrendered to the imperial
Russian troops. The particulars are expected with

and the enemy ; in which the latter was defeated and
put to flight, with the loss of 100 prisoners, his bag-

Von Benkendorff and the distinguished behaviour of
Lieutenant Von Berg of the General Staff, Russ-
menko, of the Artillery, and Pawlow of the Issum
Regiment of Hussars, which was the principal cause
of the successful issue of the battle, deserve my
thanks, which I herewith return those Gentlemen.
" it is with peculiar satisfaction that I have re-
ceived the information, that the squadrons of the
Hanseatic Legions which had a share hi the engage-
ment, have behaved themselves in a manner becoming
