of Swedish troops-wan in possession of Dessau ; and
the town of Acken. on the left bank, a little lower
down the river, wu fortifying; under the direction of
Count Woronzow, in such a manner as to render it
a place of considerable strength, while preparation*,
were accelerated for constructing a bridge there.
In the mean time, the enemy, who appear to have
had no idea of the passage of the Elbeat Acken, sent
strong detachments of troops to occupy Dessau and
the line of the Mulda, and employing themselves it
throwing up works, as well before that town as it
front of the tete-de-pant at Rosslau, with intent to
impede the passage there, and to obstruct the move-
meats of the army after the passage. This gave oc-
casion to skirmishes between the enemy and the Siva
dish advanced guard, which was obliged to refill.'
quish Dessau, and to retire to the neighbourhood of
the tete-de-pont at Rosshm. and indeed to the right
bank of the river.
Under these circumstances, the Prince Royal re-
ceived intelligence from General Blucher, on the Ist
inst. informing his Royal Highness that he should.
on that day, make a movement with his whole army
on his right towards Hertzberg; that on the follow-
ing day he should be at Jessen ; on the Sd at Elster;
and on the following day (to-day). would effect the
passage of the Elbe at Elster. proceeding upon Kern
berg, against the French corps stationed there.
The bridge' at Aden had just been completed,
and yesterday, today. or perhaps to-morrow, was
each spoken of as the probable day for passing the
Iriver.

General Blucher crossed the Elbe at Ekter yester-
day with some opposition, and attacked the entrench-
ed village of Wartenberg on the opposite bank, which
'he carried, after an obstinate resistance, nuking
himself master of sixteen pieces of cannon.
It is understood that this victory, which was car-
ried against the corps commanded by Bertrand, was
not obtained without considerable loss, particularly
among the troops commanded by General D'York ;
but the particulars have not yet been received.
The Prince Royal received this intelligence yes-
terday evening, while he was at Rosslau, or imme-
diately on his return here, and to.dic the resolution of
crossing the whole army to-day over the Elbe, at
Acken and at Rosslau—the Russians at the former,
and the Prussians and Swedes at Rosslau, somewhat
later or otherwise, according as it should be under-
stood whether the French would make a stand at
Dessau. This, however, was not to be expected,
when once the passage of the Russians was completed
at Acken, particularly -under the position of General
Blucher's army ; and in effect it was learnt this
morning, that the French had retired from Dessau,
where, consequently, I learn thAt the head-quarters
of the Prince Royal will be established this evening.
His Royal Highness left this place about nine o'clock
this morning.
Yesterday evening Mr. Adlercrents, a son of the
General, and an Aide-de-Camp of she Ptince Royal,
returned here from the Imperial headipseers, to
which he had been sent after the bolt di-Dome-
--witz.

Ist instant; and it was calculated that it would be
advanced as far as Chemnita, on yesterday, the Sd.

I am as yet without details of the affair of General
Blucher; but Baron de Wettentedt has engaged me
to detain this Messenger until I shall receive a dis-
patch from him this evening for M. de Rehansen
and he promised me (for be went to-day to Dessau),
to transmit to me at the same time the same particu-
lars, if he should obtain them. I shall keep this dis-
patch open for them.
We have indirect accounts of General Cm:zits-
' chef having taking possession, with his cogs of
Cossacks, of the whole city of Cassel, from which
Jerome Bonaparte had fled. But nothing has yet
been received from himself. I have the honour, &c.

According to reports received from Genoa' Blu-
cher, he has been engaged with the 4th French
corps, commanded by General Bertrand. The latter
was strongly intrenched in a village between Warten-
berjesatirledin.
D'Yorck's corps dislodged and overthrew
the enemy, taking above one thousand prisoners.
Sixteen pieces of cannon, and seventy tumbrils, with
their train, were captured. A body of two thousand
men threw themselves into Wittenberg ; the remain-
der of the enemy's troops fell back upon Kemberg.
General Blucher pursued than, and his head-quar-
ters will be this evening at the latter place. His ca.
valry is at Duben.
By five o'clock this morning, the enemy's troops,
under the orders of Marshal Ney, which were in ::,is
town, amounting to eighteen thousand men, h 44
begun their retreat towards Leipzig.
Oar advanced posts had, in the course of this even.
' ing, pushed on as far as Raguhn and Jesnttz, and
to-morrow the junction with General Blucher will
take place.
The van-guard of the Russian army, under the
orders of Count Woronzof, occupies Coethen.—
Bembourg is garrisoned by Russian cavalry. To
morrow the two armies of the Prince Royal and of
General Blucher, will make a combined movement
in advance, probably in the direction of Leipzig.—
They form together a total of one hundred 4.13
twenty-seven thousand, or one hundred and thirty
thousand men. His Royal Highness will, without
doubt, establish his head quarters at RAI' %An.
