Dispatches, of which the following are Copies,
have been received by Viscount Castlereagh, his
Majesty's Ptincipal Secretary. t State for Foreigh
,Afseirs,• from Liemenant-General the Honourable
sir Charles Stewart, ic.. B. his Majesty's Envoy Ex-
trao idinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King
of Prussia.

• Prague, September 17, 1813.
MY la/an—Although nothing very material has
occurred in this quarter since my last dispatches, I
take advantage of an opportunity that offers to state
to.your Lordship a few particulars that may be in-
:teresting.
On the 13th, General Count Bubna, who now
.commands the Austrian corps lately-under General
.Neipperg, which has been much reinforced; entered
Neustadt and Neukirchen, and came into close Com-
munication with General Blucher, who had his,
;head-quarters at Hernasbutt, with his advanced posts
beyond' Bautzen, the enemy having retired to Bish-
offswercier. :•
• On the 14th, in the morning, the advanced posts
of the grand army advanced again to the frontiers by
tha • road to Peterswalde. The rear guard of the
enemy,'cosisibting of tvio battalions of infantry, a re-
gime nt of. cavalry, and some guns,
.*ere forced from
.10/lendorf by Gant Pahlen ' • tommanding Count
Wittgenstein's advance. The artillery of the Allies,
and more force, were in readiness to follow as soon
as the roads could be made practicable. The Fria-
sians,-under General Kleist and Nate Augustus,
Droved to Ebersdorf and Tolsdorff. ,
Bonaparte assisted personally at the grand yecon4
noissance that was made on the 'loth: he bad his
bead-quarters at Leibstadt on the 11th, and moved
forward on the left of the Allies to Ham** Oar
Altenburg, on the 12th.
'
The plan of the enemy seems to have been to trove
attacked the Allies if he could do so with an evi-1
dent advantage, if nat,.so impede their advance, and
by menaces gain time either to extricate himselffrom
the dangerous predicament in which he stands, or to
tnanceuvri the Allies obt of their position.
On the 15th, in the morning, the enemy continued
tb retire,' and Prince Schwartzenberg ordered a gene-
ral-reconnoissance on ail sides to be made ; Count
Wittgenstein's and Count ?alien's corps fell in with
the enemy near Peterswalde. Four squadrons of,
Russiin cavalry very gallantly charged a French
column, and cut down several hundred men.
To give your LOrtiship some idea of these attacks,'
from a French return which has been found of the
loss of the 7th regiment of infantry, when the Rus-
sian cavalry in Count Osterman's *action charged,
they had 820 wounded, and, 730 killed ; the residue
df fugitives remaining were 600.
The enemy's corps in advance, opposed to Count
Pablen,.eonisted of twelve thousand men, under Ge-
neral Bonnet; they made a good stand near Gotliebe,
Bit Russian light guns did great execution, and for-
ced this 'column to leave their ground. The main
position of the enemy was not attacked.
An. Austrian tort* of 17,000 men, under Count
iquilly rectum itred the enemy on the
aide of Barenstein and Breitenau.
Tht, headluarters or the enemy', according to re-
_

portovere boil removed to Dippcldswalde.

General Titlelerrian's partizan corps, which I have
already mentioned to your Lordship, has had consi-
derable successes. He .took possession, of the town of
Weisserdels, which was occupied by infantry and ar-
tillery, and made a General, 40 Officers, and near
1300 men prisoners.
. • The Austrian Colonel Mensdorf, another partizan,
took a French courier, between Leipzick and Dres.
den, charged with dispatches and letters from the
French army for Paris, at least five thousand ift
number. These letters' give the most doleful details
of the Freeelpartny,- and of their defeats. The
whole are to be printed, and aft in the most despond-
ing gtile,
Of the whole corps engaged under Marshal Ney,
only 16,000 men have escaped, 10,000 have arrived
at Dresden, under Oudiriot, the rest at Wittenburg
and Tor au.
• It is also stated, that the new guards, and particu-
larly the artillery, suffered dreadfully in the battle'
by Dresden ; Generals Vachot and S ibier were kill-
ed; and,Generals Dumoutier, Dental, Gros, Boiel-
,dieu, Maiscn,' Veen, and Aubert, severely wounded.
Reinforceme ts, amounting.. to fifteen thousand
• men, have reached Erfurt ; but they are tf a bad
quality of uonps. •
_ . _

Un tio. 15in, in the evening, the enemy brought
up nor.: oups against Count Pahlen. and iib it was
riot the intemion of ihe Allies to engage in a general
• affair in the mountains and defiles of Saxony, the ad-
. vauced corps moved back to Nollendorf. The French
had .two corps d'artnee supporting their advanced
corps of 1%000 men.

Plasee, September 19.
Mir I,ollD—lt appears that the enemy on the lfith
oecupie4l t mountain and heights, in front of Nol-
lendort, in considerable force. They made, in the
evening, an attempt to turn the right of the 'Allies
before Culm, while they also assailed sheleentre
and left.
bunap iTte seems to have assisted . in. ptrtiots at
11'6 affair.
:Eifteuri thousand. men were det iched to turn the
right, eight thousand advanced in front and on the
• left : *bout thirty thousand men and eight thousand
cavalry in reserve, formed theattack tin the part of
Zile enemy.

siincealed.b'y an intense fog, and advancing through
tfilck.woods had Succeedzdln gainink our.flank be,

• forced the Russians and Prussians from the village
of Nolland .rt byvet y sitperiot force, ' but. Were kept
inthetk on the left. Gener-41 Jerome Colloredo, with
• it sow of Austrians, fell on the enemy's advanced

'column, which had gained our right, sad
trepidity, steadiness, and order that hasia*A.uni.
versal admiration, completely defeated if, toOk.
Itween two and 3000 prisoners, among wlfilks is the
general of Division iCreitzer, and many officers, and.
ten guns : our loss may have been about 1000 killed
and wounded.

At the time the enemy made their attack on the
centre, the Prussians were about to be relieved by the
Russians; which occasioned some moineatary dis-
order. A very fine young man, a son of General
'Blucher, who was distinguishing himself very gal-
lantly in re-establishing order,* was killed.
The enemy, repulsed at all points, retired into
their position again on the mountains, occupying,.
however, Nollendorf. The Allies took up their old
ground, and extend across the plain in a semicircular
position.
The continued affairs and skirmishes during the
last fortnight have cost many men on both iides, but
there can be no doubt of the enemy having suffered
in at least a double proportion.
It is stated as a positive fact, that BOnaparte had
ihis horse shot under him while reconnoitring on
'the hill.

Cooke, of the off* of the 16th and 17th.

Charles Stewart's dispatches, and two Austrian mili-
tary reports to a similar effect, dated Toplitz, Sep-
tember 16th and 17th.

His Majesty's Sloop Conflict, August 10.
SIR—In compliance with your orders, I proceeded
with the division of boats under my direction up the
St. Michael's River. We advanced along shore close
to the town of St. Michael's, and were discovered by
the enemy's patrole, who fired on us r a few minutes
after, a battery, mounting six twelve and six-poun-
den, gave us a round of grape and canister, when
we immediately landed, got possession of the battery,
and drtive the enemy into the town. After spiking
the guns, splitting the carriages, and destroying all
,the sanmUrution and stores, I re-embarked, with the
loss of ouly two wounded.
By this time the *meaty had collected in consider.
able numbers. And commenced firing from two field
pieces in the town. The destruction of the battery
being complete, and not a vessel to be seen, I deemed
the object of the enterprise fulfilled, and returned on
board with the boats. The conduct both of officers
and men was exemplary and highly praiseworthy for
their steadiness, in forming quickly, in landing, and
driving the enemy into the town.

ns iiTrTs To THE PROCEEDING% dl tetnea-
it rOP VIENNA IN TEE lIIIIECISE 07 THE MEDIA-
TION AND AT THE CONGRESS AT PIIAGOZ,
France, allied to Austria, made it a point of duty
0 communicate to her, with the most entire con&
*nee, the details of her military dispositions, and of
Abe infrnetisezneans slinhad collected for the defence
of the common cause : but the Cabinet of Vienna,
whiCh had adopted the passions of-she enemies of
'France, paitook alsO of their delusions ; and nothing I
could equal its. surprise when it was infderned that.,
victory had crowned our arms at Lutzen. It sent:
Count de Bubna to Dresden. The stay of the Au.:
strian Ambassador, which for the moment kept the
Minister for Foreign Affairs.at PariS„:, prevented him
from being with his Majesty. He confided to the
Duke of Vicenza the care of hearing Count Bubna,
and discovering the reasons which had determined his
mission. The prOtestations which the Cabinet of
Vienna had sd long used, and which Courit de Bubna
renewed, respecting the pacific intention; of 'Austria,
and its attachment to the alliance, ill concealed the
ambition of that Cabinet.
It was evident that the armaments with which it
supported its own, pretensions, and independent of 1
those of the enemy, bad for their object to,obtain pos-
session of the Illyrian Provinces.and part of the Duchy
of Warsaw, the establishment of a new frontier upon
the Inn, and arrangements destructive to the• Conf-
ederation of the Rhine.
The Emperor proposed by Count Bubna (No. 1),
the assembling of a General Congress. He deman-
ded that a Negotiator should be furnished with powers'
to conclude a Convention whiCh woad regulate the
acceptance of the mediation. '
Count de &bee left Dresden, and proceeded to
give an account of his mission. 1
The Emperor marched against the Russian and
Prussian armies, which had halted in their retreinit
and taken a position at Bautzen. However grew'
his confidence of victory, he resolved to endeavour to
prevent a battle. He gave the Duke of Vicehza
powers to propose•and conclude an armistice (2) ;
but the enemies chose to try the chance of another
battle ; they were conquered at.Wurtachen. ~
They then made the demand of an Armistice,
through an Austrian agent, who resided at the head-
, quarters of the ca:' imbibed Armies ('.3).. This letter,
on the 218th of May, found the Emperor in Siksia.—
In the powers given by the 'General in Chief, Barclay
de Toby, to the !tussian and Prussian Colnmissioners,
to treat for air Aeniiitice, he openly- announced, Mat
the Armistice 4044 .have for olyect.to bear the Or 104-

l'he Cabinet of Vienna.was tharged with making•
known the acceptance of the mediation by Rtissia and
Prussia, and it remained silent;--the appointment of
Plenipotentiiries on thepartnf the enemy, and it re-
mained silent. .. .
The French Goverrm not had demanded, That hs
acceptance of the mediition Should be stipulated. by
criavention, and the Cabinet *of Vienna did. not ghee
powers to any person tonegodiate it. • ' • • •
Count- de BrihiiiLid: retisenigir tettit-linfeltal
-Quarters. He was• pressed to err. Wily treat on-e .
fairs of such importance: *he notified the acceptance
of Russia and Prussia (6) ;..and when it was wiateki
to enter into explanations with him, he was found
without authority and without power. Thus the Ca-
binet of Vienna allowed the month of June to be spent
without the Congress being opened.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs then addressed
to M. de Metternich two notes, in which he explained
the views of France, upon the question relative to the
alliance, the mediation, and the negociations for peace
(7 and 8. ). M. de Metternich replied, and brought
his replies to Dresden (9 and 10). They gave rise to
several notes which were exchanged during • his stay
(11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17), upon the question
of alliance. He proposed to prejudge nothing agains!l
the existence of the alliance, and to suspend the stipu-
lations of it, as if it could exist without producing'
its effect.
It was beneath thi dignity of the French Govern-
ment to descend to these subtleties. It declared it
would consider the wish of the Cabinet of Vienna, to
carry its reserves to the letter of the whole treaty, as
eltdvalent to the renunciation of the alliance (16).-
1 he Cabinet oCFrance &mended, on the question
of negoCiation, that it should extend to a general
peaee, and that it should take place in Congress, and
in the forms consecrated by custom ; and that the
resumption of hostilities should not arrest its course.
—Upon the question of Mediation, it proposed, as a
basis for the Convention to be concluded, that Aus-
tria, animated .by the most perfect disinterestedafrs
should not present herself as an arbitrator. . -.
As Wain extension of the negotiation to a gee*
peace; whiCh was always the wish of the Emperor,
' M. de Metternich desired not imMediately to ecime
to an absolute engagement upon it ; but it was agreed
that the Mediator would charge himself to make the.
proposal of it • to all the Powers. -- A project was
dawn up (18) : M. de Metternich took it with him,
and charged. himself; with sounding and making
known in this respect, the dispositions of Russia and'
Prussia. In respect to the continuations of the nego-
tiation during the resurnptien of hostilities, the Aus-
trian Plenipotentiary preferred a prolongation of the
armistice, which. Austria would undertake to have
accepted, and the French Government did not refuse
it. As to. the form* of the negociations, and to the
' expression of the intentions of the mediator, M. de
Metternich gave all the explanations, and made all
the declarations, which were demanded of him. The
Emperor consented, on condition that the convention
should be confined to the proposition and the accer L
ance of the mediation, the assembling of plenipoten-
tiaries at Prague before the sth of July, aucilthe pro-
longation of the armistice (19). •
The Cabinet of Vienna successively, *and under
different pretences, deferyed the opening of the Con-
gress to the Bths• and then to the 12th of July (20
and '2l). It did not put itself in a condition to make
1 kossia and Prussia accede to the engagement enter-
ed into for the prolongation of the armistice. It was
' requisite to have recourse to a commission, charged
with its execution, to overcome difficult) upon diffi-
cuhy (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,28,29, so; sl, and 327.

The choice of Russia had fallen upon a man, who,•
born-a Ftenchman, and convinced of his incapacity
rfor so honourable a mission, had only acquired is
matters of business, the character of an agent of
England, and who in 180.5 was her principal insti
ment to induce Austria to war.
The Emperor might have been indignant at such
a choice, and rejected a tnan who had rejected the
laws of the empire ( I); but his desire for peace made
him pass over these considerations. He 'appointed to
discuss his interests at the Congress, persons the nrea
worthy of his confidence, and who, by the rank they
held with him, and in the. State, as well as by their
personal qualities, enjoyed in the highest degree the
public esteem and consideration.
Count de Narbonne had already rere:vcd his full
powers which authorised the Plenipotentiaries to treat
separately or jointly. He, in consequence, proposed
to open- the-negociations. When the I)ake of Vi-
,Senzi 'arrived at Prague, it appeared that nothing
could oppoie the immediate opening of the Congress,
and there was every reason for hoping the negoLa-
tion.s would proceed rapidly; but that system of in-
cidents and obstacles incessantly wising, followed till
then by the Austrian Cabinet, teceived a new deve-
-lopemens. •
The French Plenipotentiaries hastened to demand
on the 26th of July of the Minister Mediator, that the
opening of the Congress should ittrdediately take
place by a first conference, in which they should pro-
ceed in the usual manner to the verification and rec.
procal communication of their full powers. No ob-
jection could have reasonably been expected respecting
an affair of form, so simple and founded on imme-
morial custom. Nevertheless the Plenipotentiary from
the Mediating Court refused this demand.. Desired
to explain himself upon the motives which at the be-
ginning could induce him to create an obstacle so un-
expected, he only replied by proposing a mode of nes'
gociation which excluded all direct communication
between the respective Plenipotentiaries, and confined
the part of the negnciatoys to transmit by writing
their propositions to the ttustrian Minister, who thus
constituted himself an arbitrator.
M. de Metternich forgot the Notes he bad trans-
mitted to'Dresden, and the declarations which had
been made to him, and to which he hod acceded.
that the French Government accepted a mediation,
and not an arbitration, and that it did not mean to
negotiate but in the usual Forms, and by Plenipoten-
tiartir, who should asuonhle, sith those of ether bel-
ligerent Powers, to enter upon explanations.
The French Plenipotentiaries declared they could
not consent to any other form than that of collie-
r!oces, in which they w )nid be held to ;be protocol,
whicti:w mid unite to the incontestable advantages of
verbal,discussi,..iis, those which are considered to. be
found in neg -eiations by writing. Notwithstanding
this evicris esti in ition. the Austrian Minister in-
sisted' in 11-s pretension, and founding himself upon
this prppissition ma2e in the object of a note which he
addreesed to the different Plenipotentiariet. In this
Nike 'he suported himself by the example of Tes-
chin (33).
.lilovefeer-no person was ignorant that nothing
could be less applicable to the circumstance than that
example: for at Teschen there were conferences, and
the pretension had never been raised there, any more
tharr at any other Congress, of hating without
seeing and without speaking to eja7c:ther, In truth,
this basis had been previmisly laid down by writihg 3
a. mode then rendered obligatory, because the media-
tors were some at Vienna and others at Berlin. But
even that proved the impossibility of following a si.
milar method at Prague. Not only had no bumbles
adopted, but no preliniinary explanation had taken
place upon the ground-work of the negoeiationo—?
Notwithstanding considerations so striking% the gut•
sian, and Prussian Plenipotentiaries agreeing with the
Plenipotentiary of the Mediator, hastened to . adopt
his proposition (34).
Whatever efforts the French Plenipotentiaries.made
in these official conferences, which they had succes-
sively with the Plenipotentiary of the Mediator, en the
30th of July, and Ist and sth of August, they were
not able to overcome his obstinacy. Forgetting in
this conjuncture whit he owed at least to circuris
stances, he did not make known the motives day
idledged to the adverse Plenipotentiaries, and its this
discussion of a secondary order he shelved all his
partiality.
The French Plenipotentiaries, after having fulfilled
the ditty of earnestly, and fur the dignity of,Governt
ment insisting upon what reason, custom, and the en-
gagement contracted at Dresden by Ihe Plenipoten-
tiary of the Mediator himself, gave them a right to
demand. were authorised to propose a mock which
would have satisfied all pretensions. They, in conse-
quence, declared by a note addressed to the Mediator,
that they consented the mode of negotiating by
writing, should be admitted conjointly with that of
conferences. This -means contributed all, and was
most conformable to what was practised in the mote
important Congresses of Nimeguen, Ryewick, Ais-
le-Chapelle, 3cc. where each question bad been di,-
cussed, either verbally, or by writing, according as
the nature of the case required (35).
The enemies' Plenipotentiaries rejected this prop-
mothout giving themselves the trouble of con:-
bating the evideflt reasons upon which it was roundel
(36 and 37).
Several notes were afterwards exchanged on eac
part (38, 39, and 40).
On the 10th of August, the Russian and Prussia-.
Plenipotentiaries hastened to declare the Congres;
dissolved (4i and 4-2). At the same moment, the.
Plenipotentiary of the mediator declared war (43).
His declaration was transmitted by the Ambassador
from France, in the night between the 10th and 11th
of August, at the same hour the Russian and Prus-
sian armies entered the Bohemian territory by roads
upon which for more than a month preparations hid
been made to receive. them.
To this cry of war, Fiance replied by wishes fee
peace (44). (To be continued.)

..etters from the French coast gate, that owing to
the very great pecuniary embarrassments of the Go-
vernment, and the necessary expences'of the war. it
was in contemplation to issue a paper currency, re-
sembling our Exchequer Bills, to the amowet of 60
oas of !rants.
