BULLETIN OF THE CROWN

BERLIN, NOVEMBER 1.
We have just received from the Head-quarters
his Royal Highness the Crown Prince
followng Bulletin :
. " Head-quarters at Munrsusen,
u The Crown Prince yesterday remov,
quarters to Muhlhausen, to which ph_
vanced by Merseburg, Artem, and Sondersh:
The great results of the battle of T•
more and more distinguishable every
of the Emperor Napoleon is retreating by forted
marches, and every day suffers considerable losses.—
It has taken its march towards Erfurt, but according
! to the latest accounts, that place is in the. possession
of the Allies. General Bluchdr closely follows the
enemy at every step, whilst the great army of Bohe-
mia, whose head-quarters were on the 24th at Wei-
mar, is moving on the side of his left wing ;—and the
army of the North of Germany is partly on the side
of the right wing, and in part, stretches beyond his
wing. General's Yorck and Wasilschikow, whose
corps form the van guard of the. army of Silesia, have ,
attacked the enemy's rearguard, near Weissenfels and
Freyburg, and taken upwards of 4000 prisoners, 40
!pieces of artillery, and a number of ammunition and
' baggage waggons. General Bubna has taken 600
prisoners from the Imperial G!!ards at Buttelstedt :
and General Bennigsen, who marched by the way of
Bibro to Rastenberg,. has found a great number of
stragglers, and of deserted cannon and ammunition-
waggons all along the road. On the road to Erfurt,
the Emperor Napoleon himself gave orders to blow
up more, than 600 powder-waggons.
" Colonel Chrapowitsky wok possession of the city
of Gotha, on the 22d, where he made prisoners the
French Minister, Baron de St. Aymon, 73 Officers,
and 900 men. He blew. up 60 powder-waggons.—
He then joined, at Molschlelaai, with General Iln-1
waisky, who hail been detached from the grand army,
to get round the French army. Colonel Benkeftdorf ,
at the same time disturb,:a die enemy on the whole
of his march to Erfurt ; was continually skirmishing
with the- cavalry of General Sebastiani, and took a j
number of prisoners. General Czernicheff, to whose
corps the aforesaid partisans belong, has marched to
'Eisenach, to be before-hand with the head of the I
enemy's column. .
" On the 19th, the Emperor Napoleon had his
night-quarters at Mark-Ransfadt ; on the 20th, at
Weissenfels-; the 21st, at Eckartsberge I; early on the
23d he was at Erfurt, from whence he went to podia.
Intercepted letters state, that the high roads in the
whole neighbourhood were covered, and, as it were,
sown with numbers of runaways, without arms or
clothing. .
" Marshal St. Cyr has made a moveme-,e from
Dresden towards Torgau, pr,,bably w!th the intent
of &awing the garrison of that fortress, and of Wit-
tenberg, to his corps, to reach Magdeburg, and from
thence retreat to France. Several considerable corps
d'armee are advancing from a'l sides towards each
other, and joining, to engage him, and cut him off.
General Tauenzien is in the viciiiity:of Rosslan, an.,
will draw the corps of General.Vou Hirschfeld and
Von Thumen to own.

" General Count Tauenzien follows the movements
of General St. Cyr, and General Bznnigsen, whose
army had already joined that of the Crown Prince,
will cause the corps of General Doktoroff to take the
same direction, and will take on himselt the com-
mand of all the Russian :aid Prussian troops which
ate destined to act against the enemy's corps. The
corps of General Strogonoff will join the army of the
Crown Prince. General Count Walmoden observes
the motions of General Davousys army; who most
probably will no lenger delay his retreat.
" The total loss of the Allied Army of the North of
Germany, in the battles of Leipsic, does not exceed
from two to three thousand men in killed and wound-
ed.. That of General Count de Langeron has been
more considerable. This General gives the greatest
praise to the brave behaviour of Generals Koptze-
witsch, the Count de St. Priest, and General Rond-
zewitsch, as likewise to all the officers and soldiers
under his command.

" In the battle of the 18th October, the Lieutenant-
General Sir C. Stewart himself planted the English
rockets in the midst of the briskest fire, and volun-
tarily undertook the performance of several of his
Royal Highness's orders, which he executed to the
entire satisfaction of the Crown Prince.
" Generals Tawast and Lowenhielrn have distin-
guished themselves. The first brought up two bat-
teries of 12 cannon to a point which was very briskly
pressed by the enemy, and thereby contributed to se-
cure this flank of the army. General Suremain him-
self directed the Swedish artillery, which fired on the
gate of Leipsic, and afterwards on the streets of that
city. The cavalry of General Winzingerode is pushed
forward as far as. Vach, and follows the enemy's
motions, who appears in part to take the direction of
Wetzlar. This General shewed the same talents
and bravery in the battles of Leipsic, of which he had
before given so many proofs. The Russian infantry
have sustained their ancient fame, by a steadiness
which always distinguishes them. Generals Woron-
zolf, Laptieff, Harpe, and Wonitsch, have, by their
conduct, given his Royal Highness the highest satis-
faction."

_ jet-
ty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affiers,
to the Ministers of Friendly Powers residing at this
Court, that in consequence of information which bad
been received, that the provinces of East Frieioland,
the State of Knipheusen, the Dutchy of Oldenburgh,
and the Dually of Bremen, were no longer under the
dominion of France ; his Royal Highness was pleased,
in the name and in the behalf of his Majesty, to di-
rect, that the blockade of that part of the coast of
Germany, comprehended within the above descrip-
tion, (which was instituted in virtue of his Majesty's
Orders in Council, of the 26th of April 1809, and of
the 17‘11 of Iley 18091 or of any other Orders In
Council, Instruction or Notification) should be dis-
continued ; with the exception orsuch posts, as may
still be occupied by the troops of the enemy.
FOREIGN OFFICE, NOVEMBER 27.
A dispatch, of which* the following is an estrae.i,
has been received by Viscount Castlereagh, his Ma-
jesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
fairs, from Lieutenant General the Honburable S:r
Charles W. Stewart, K. B. dated
Gottingen, Nov. 4, 1575.
I herewith have the honour of enclosing to your
Lordship, the reports which have this day reached
me from the Silesian Army.
OPERATIoNI OF THE ARMY OF SILCIA. DtIRISZO Tile •
RETREAT OF TIME FRENCH.
Before daylight on the morning of the 27th of Oe:
totter, the enemy had quitted the town of Eirnach,
which was immediately after en•cred by h fershal
Blucher's" army, an advanced c •re:e of which had
been sent directly in .pu. snit, and came up with the
roar of the enemy at the entrance of the defiles in the
mountains, within abent a German mile from the
town. The blowing up of several ammunition wage
gone, the destruction or abandonment of baggage,
and he capture of several stragglers, was the intim.
diate consequence, but the enemy had penetrated far
into the defiles, where the ground was not favourable •
for the advance of the cavalry, and it was only by
following his march for the three subsequent days,
that the precipitancy and disasters of his light be.
came obvious. For an extent of nearly fifty Englisb
mks, from Eisenach to Fulda, carcases of dead end
dying horses, without number, dead bodies of men,
who had been either killed or perished through hunger,
sicknes, or fatigue, lying on the roads or in the
ditches ; partiLs of prisoners and stragglers, bmugbt
in by the Cossacks, Weave up or destroyed ammunt-
tion.and baggage wagons, in such numbers as eh-
solutely to obstruct the road, sufficiently attested the
sufferings of the enemy, -whiht pillaged and burning
towns and villaees marked, at the same time, tl:e
ferocity with which he bad conducted himself. The
number of the dead bodies on tve road had been con.
siderably augmented, from a resolution '&4 had beau
taken to carry off all - the sick and %mended, not re.
suiting surely from any principle of humanity, but
probably as matter of beast, in the rentioni that
might be given to the woad of the event, as win tal
of these men were found abandoned on the wail, is
the last gasp of hunger and disease, the dead and
the dying frequently mixed together, lying in groupes
of six or eight, by half-extinguished tires, on the road
side. Several of these men must have been com-
pelled to move on foot, as their bodies were found on
the road with the sticks with which they had endea-.
voured to support their march, lying by their sides.
The number of dead bodies might have beeq counted
by hundreds, and in the space from Eisenach to
Fulda, could certainly not have amounted to much
less than a thousand. The enemy continued to be
closely pursued during the three days march from,
Eisenach to Vach Hunefeld and Fulda, and frequent
cannonading ensued at the- head of the advanced
guard, but the nature of the country not permitting
the cavalry to act, the enemy escaped with only such
losses as have been enumerated.
On arrival at Fuld; it was ascertained that Bona-
parte had fled in the direction of Frankfort, but a
subsequent relation assures, that General Count
Wrede has taken Hanau, with hi; ilaweian ire, pa,
by assault, on the 28th ; Napoleon would be thee.
fore compelled to turn towards Coberuz, and Mar-
shal Blucher has made his disposi'ions for following
him in that direction. General Count St. Priest, of
General Baron Sachen's division, has, in the mean
time entered Cassel. General Baron Sachsen, who
had not found it necessary to pursue in that direction,
halts this day at Lautabach, General Count Lange.
ion at Luder, and General D'Yorck at Neuchoff.—
The whole will move forward immediately on the
Latin.
