BERM, OCTOBER 2.
The French army commenced its retreat fiom
Dresden on the 26th Septeinber, by the way of Meis- •
seb. The Emperor Napoleon left that city on the
23d. All the lead and pewter at Dresden was pot in
requisition for the use of the French army ; even the
clock-weights have not been spared—a tertairt proof
how much they must be in want of shot for their
guns. • .
Napoleon is retreating with.the remainder of his
army tram Dresden taLeipste. To cover his retreat,
Ile pushed forward about 25,000 men to Dessau, to
nerve as a rear-guard to his right wing, in like manner
as Marshal Augereau is to cover his left wing at
Gira,lena, &c. ; that he may by this means -draw up
along the Saale, or reach Erfarth, without Wag
annoyed.

TOPLtTZ, SEPTEMBER 22.
Nothing of any consequence has tauten place wick
the armies an this side. .No pen, no pencil can.draw
a picture of the misery which the French prisoners
who are brought in preseni, especially those of the
infantry : tattered, without shoes, withott mocking',
and, in the strictest sense ofthe word, starved almost
to desperation, they come over to us every hour, by'
20 or SO men at a time. Although only two hours
before entrusted with the French provisions, they fell
on the mortal of bread offered them so ravenously,
that their own assurance of having fasted for three or
four days, is quite unnecessary. The most deadly
enmity must die away at the sight of these poor
wretches t we have seen five french Officers come to
blows, because they could not agree about an equal
division of a loaf of bread, which was given them bya
good-natuted Cossack to allay their ravenous cravings.

We may soon expect to bear of something grand.
The whole of the Crown Prince's army was crossing
the Elbe, and had joined General Blucher,whose left
wing was joined.to the Austrian right. The Russians
ha* been reinforced by 100,000 men. A Ukase for
a new levy of eight in five hundred was issued at
Toplitz, on the 2d September.

HERRNMT, SEPTEMBER io.

MTH ARMY REPORT.
OM the Ist of September, the advanced guard of ,
the Silesian army passed the Queis; on the 2d, the
ISTeiRRe• The army followed. On the 3d, the enemy
Wes on the stream of the Lobau, and retreated ,on the
4th towards Bautzen. Hoehkirch was already eva-
cuated by him, when his columns halted and attacked
in their turn the advanced guard. Troops, we under-
stood, were on their march through Bautzen ; and
the prisoners said that Napoleon was come up with
great reinforcements. Much cavalry made their ap-'
pearance, and in the afternoon of the 4th it was con-
firmed that the Emperor. had arrived with his guards
about mid-day. Tile General in Chief withdrew the
advanced guard, under General Wasilsikoff, behied
the water of Lobau; concentrated the army in a re-
trograde direction, in the Landskron (a lofty moun-
tam ridge), waiting to see whether the enemy would
hold back tis beaten army, or offer battle.
On the sth the enemy deployed a considerable force
in advance of Reichenbach, which commenced a brisk
attack on a Cdrps of the army. The General in Chief
found it inexpedient here to joinbattle with the enemy;
.he, therefore, withdrew the army over the Neisse and
Queis, leaving a corps on the right bank of the Neisse
to watch the enemy, should he be inclined to advance
farther into Silesia. The farther he should remove
from Dresden, the more effective would be the ope-
rations of the Grand Bohemian army.
In vain did the Silesian army expect, on the 6th
and 7th of September, that the enemy would cross
the Neisse—die was aware of his dangerous situation,
and the Emperor Napoleon was already, on the 7th,
on his return to Dresden, with his reinforcements,
which be had advanced towards the Neisse.
The Russian partizan Prince Madekiff, Colonels
Rachenioff and Figner, the Prussian Majors Flacken-
hausen and Boltenstern, operate in the rear of the,
enemy, and do him incredible mischief. On the 2dl
of September, the former took in Wurschen an ene-
my's battalion, consisting of a Colonel, five Captains,l
18 Lieutenants, two Adjutants, and 677 men. Onl
the 4th he also took, at Biscboffswerda, a detach-
ment of 500. men, guarding a Luke convoy of am-
munition, aad blew up 100 animunttion-waggons.--
On the Bth, the Silesian Army put itself in motion.
4.3eneral Count St. Priest crossed the Neisse, at Os-
rite.. The corps of Count Langeron followed on the
Ith. According to the dispositions made, Lieute-
iant-General St. Priest was to vigorously attack Kor-
aan, and to be supported by Count Langeron, while
:he corps of Yorce was to take the enemy's corps at
' :;oerlitz in flank and rear, by Landskron, and to cut
r off by Reichenbach.
General St. Priest fell upon the Polish corps (Par-
met., which was concentrated at Lobau, and drove
the enemy from Mittel-Hartzigsdcrt, Ebevadot f, and
Lobau. But the attack of the corps at Gocrlitz could
not be carried into effect, as the enemy, aware of his
danger, retreated so rapidly, that the Cossacks of
General Sacken could scarcely come up with him.
An Adjutant of rrince Poniatowski was taken
prisoner, with a report in his possession of the affair
..t Lobau, addressed to the Prince of Neufchatel. It
..ppears from it, that the enemy on that occasion lust
''3 Officers and 500 men.
On the 10th of September the enemy retreated to
Bautzen. Our advanced guard entered Hoehkirch,
and the Cossacks are swarming before Bautzen.
