Head-Quarters, J'auer, May 26, 1813.
MY LORD—An opportunity offering for England,
I avail myself of it to acquaint your Lordship, that
the'enemy has neither followed the rear-guard of the
Allies with 'vigour nor success. The corps of Gene.
gals Barclay de Tolly, Blucher, York, and Kleist,
Lave moved on Leignitz ; those of Count Wittgen-
stein and General Milaradovitch in the direction of
this place ; but the latter has his advanced posts on
the Bober river ; the enemy occupying Lowenburgh.
The Allied Army appear moving in the direction
of Schweidnitz, thus having communication by Czens
tochab with the Vistula, and being enabled, fiom its
Immediate position, to take every favourable advan-
tage of whatever may occur.
Considerable reinforcements are daily arriving.—
I have the honour to_be, &c. .

Head-Quarters, Schweidn;tz, May SI, 18)3.

My Lotto—The Allied Army has continued to re.
treat on Breslau and Schweidnitz; the Imperial Head-
quarters removed from Jauer to Striegaw on the 27th,
and on the 28th to this place.
Count Wittgenstein having resigned the command
of the Allied Armies, which he held after Marshal

Kutusoff's death until definitive arrangements were
made, General Barclay de 'roily has been appointed
to the same by his Imperial Majesty ; Count Witt-
genstein will now command the Russians, and a new
dislocation will take place : General Blucher is to
command all the Prussians. General MTlaradovitch
has, for tilt... present (being indisposed), given up his
Command to Count Pahlin.
Tt is with much satisfaction I acquaint your Lord-
that the corps under the orders of General Blu-
cher has had a most brilliant affair with their cavalry,
against the division of General Maison, debouching
from Haynatt. From the details I have received of
this action, it appears it should be justly celebrated as
one of the most distinguished cavalry attacks, against
solid squares of infantry, that has been known in this
war. The Prussian cavalry were dexterously con-
pealed behind favourable ground to accomplish their
object. The impetuosity to attack was so great, that
the signal was given before the enemy were suffici-
ently advanced, and the result was not so decisive as
it otherwise would have been ; but twelve pieces of
Fannon, and 1300 prisonets, fell into the hands of
the Allies. I refer your Lordship, for more details,
to the official account, which I have the honour to
inclose.
On the 27th, eight squadrons of Russian cavalry,
half Cossacks, attacked, near Goldberg, twelve squa-
drons of the cilemv's cuirassiers Napoleon; made 400
men and several Officers prisoners.
A partizan corps also captured a large ammunition
par?:, and several prisoners.
General Blucher's corps d'armee retired on the
28th to Preschau, on the Striegau river, while the
main army took up a position near this place.
The enemy, since the affair of Haynau, have not
pressed General Blucher, nor have they attempted
any thing in front of this part of the army t it is
therefore conjectured they are moving in force on our
right, to put themselves in communication with Glo-
,gau : their advance, it is said, has leached Neumark.
I omitted mentioning to your Lordship, that report
states the Grand Marshal Duroc to have been killed
in the affair of Reichenbach.

The Heacl.quarters of Bonaparte are at Leignitz.
The Bead-quarters of his Imperial Majesty move
.this day to Ober•Groditz, and ittichenbach. The
enemy continue their march on Breslau.
I regret to acquaint your Lordship, that a rein-
! forcement of several liccudred men, with a battery of
artillery, on march from the Oder to join the main
army, has, it is feared, fallen into the hands of the
enemy.-1 have, &c.

Translation of the vfcial Account of the -Affair between the
Corps under the Command of General Blucher and the
Advanced Guar, 1 of the Enemy, near Ilaynay, on the
26th of May.
The Prussian army, united with the corps of the
Russian Geural Barclay de 'Folly, had their bivouac
near Haynau, on the 25th May. On the 26th, they
tharched in two columns towards Liegnitz. • l'he first
column was compose 4 of the corps of Barclay de
and D'Yorelc ; the second, of the corps of Ge-
k zal Blucher. The rear-guard halted on the other side
of ilaynau; is order tc. oppose the enemy, who
usually pushed on from eleven o'clock in the morning
night,
As the enemy advanced, General Blupher mdered
bis colUmn to retire through the plains of Haynau to
Steudentz and Golsdorff, leaving twenty-one squa-
drons of cavalry, with twenty-two pieces of flying ar-
i. tillery, under the cpplgpapcl pf General you Ziethen,
lit the enemy's rear,
Genital Yon iethen observed the strength of the
•Lrmy-frorn 114 windmill of BAndinansdortf, which

oppose the enemy.
At eleven o'clock the enemy appeared from Hay.
nau, and. began a cannonade against the Prussian
-rear-guard, under the command of Colonel Mulins,
which took a position on the heights of Haynan. It
wa,s only a reconnoissance of Marshal Ney. About
five o'clock in the evening the enemy defiled from
Haynau, and attacked our rear guard, which retired,
according to the preconcerted dispositions.
General Von Ziethen, seeing a French division fol-
lowing our rear guard, resolved to strike a great blow
and, trusting to the gallantry of the troops, gave or.
ders to suffer the enemy to pass on, and to attack
him in rear ; but our cavalry had already quitted
their ambuscade and advanced against the right flank
of the enemy. The windmill was fired, and the whole
of the rear guard made front against the French, who
formed themselves in squares.
Dispositions had been made for the horse artillery
to throw the enemy into disorder, at which time the
cavalry were to have attacked them, but the impa-
tience of the latter allowed no time for the artillery
to produce the desired effect.

fter one discharge of cannon the cavalry rushed
in upon the enemy's squares, which were successively
destroyed. His firing ceased, and a battery of twelve
guns, with thirteen hundred prisoners, fell into our
hands, When the dust which had concealed him,
cleared away, we saw the remainder of General Mai-
son's division retreating on Haynau.
The battle lasted only half an hour, and not a sin-
gle man of our infantry was engaged, it having
marched towards Liegnitz.
The brigade of General Von Ziethen alone remained
on the heights behind Goldsdorff.

Exeraa of a Dispatch front General Flamini Cathcart N
Piscousa Castlereagh, dated Head-quarter:, 014r•Gro-
ditz, near Schweidnitz June 1, 1813.
_ _ _ - -

My dispatches • by the Messenger Vick,_ who left
me at Goldberg on the 25th ultimo, informed your
Lordship of the engagements with the enemy which
took place on the preceding days, and of the general
state of military operations.

I have the honour to enclose herewith the several
relations which have been published at the Russian
head-quarters of these affairs, together with that of
a recent and brilliant success, which has been ob-
tained by the exertions and talent of General Count
M. Woronzow.

The Emperor moved on the 25th to JAuer, on the
27th to Striegau, and on the 28th to Schweidnitz,
and 4heir Majesties have fixed their quarters (yester-
day in the evening) in the village of Obcr•Groditz,
between Schweidnitz and Reichenbach.

Bonaparte continues to follow with his whole
force, but has met with very severe checks in every
enterprise he has undertaken, and has had no success.
—Your Lordship will observe, that there have been
three halting days. •
The army is now concentrated in an excellent po-
sition, where nature has been assisted uy art.
General Bulow's, and some inferior ccrps, are in
rear of the enemy, and on the line of his communi-
cation, where they daily do him considerable injury.
By the arrival of a corps and of several battalions,
the Russian army is stronger than it was on the 21st
ultimo.
Viscount Castlereagh, &c. &c. &c.

• Lord Cathcart's report of the battle of Bautze:i was not re-
caved till some days after that of Sq. Charles Stewart, which
appeared iu the Supplement to the Gazette of the Bth lost.

General Woronzoff Mks had a very brilliant affair :
with a single regiment of Uhlans, and some Cos-
sacks, he surprised, at Keunerea, on the left bank of
the Elbe, the General of Division Poinsot, who com-
manded a corps of cavalry of seven hundred men.—
He made prisoners twenty-one officers and three
hundred men ; the rest were killed.
Subjoined to the above is, first, a narrative of the
events of the 19th of May, in which is detailed the
actions which Generals Barclay de Tolly and de
Yorck had with two corps of the enemy, at Konigs•
wertha and Weissig respectively, the principal parti-
culars of which have already appeared. The corps
of the enemy engaged on this occasion were Lauris•
ton's and Victor's, or, as some supposed, Sehastiani's.
The amount of the former was calculated at 14,000
men, and that of the latter at 20,000 men. The ene-
my is said to have been " infinitely superior in num-
number, particularly on the side of General d'Yorck.
Ms loss, however, is estimated at 3000 men killed
and wounded, 7 pieces of cannon, and 2000 prisoners
taken, among whom are the General of Division Pe-
guei le, end the Generals of Brigade Ma: Celli, Me-
tier, ai:d St. Andreas." Generals Barclay and de
Yorck then retired to the main position. _ _

Next follows a narrative of the events of the 20th
of May. " The engagement on that day, it is oh.
served, must have cost the enemy 6000 men, as he
was obliged to force the defile of the Spree'vnder the
fire of our cannon and small arms."

We have next a journal of the battle of the 2la
of May, the principal details of which have already
been communicated. The following are assigned as
the i easons for retreat at the conclusion of the action:
" To expose all to the hazards of a single jay would
have been to play the game of Napoleon : to preserve
our forces to reap advantages from a war, the more
difficult to the enemy as it is prolonged, is that of the
Allies. We commenced a retreat. We made it in
full day-light, under the eyes of the enemy, at seven
in the evening, as on a parade, without his being able
to gain possession of a single trophy ; whilst the com-
bined army had taken from him in these three me-
morable days, by the valour and constancy of the
troops, 12 pieces of cannon, made SOO() pri.:oners—
amongst whom are four Generals and many officers
of distinction. The least exaggerated accounts state
the loss of the French az 14,000 men, and that of the
Allies does not exceed tiGOO.

There is then a narrative of the cavalry affair at
R,eiclienbach, on the 22d of May. The main army
having fallen back to Weissenberg, " The enemy's
army," it is said, "commanded by Napoleon in per-
son, pushed forward in the hope of cutting off Count
Miloradovitch, who had orders to parch on Reichert.
bath' by the road of Loban. This enterprise was de.
feged by the activity and prudence of the Chiefs.—
Two battalions of chasseurs left in the town of 11.ei-
chenhach, made such an obstinate defence, that the
enemy was pbliged tp advance in considerable
strength; at length he thought his cavalry could act
with considerabfe .effect, He ordered a corps to
charge apd pass through Reichenbach ; the attack
19! received by a body of cpairy, doubted to cover
. _ . _ _

the chassettn ; and of the carpi of the enemy, which i
,bad entered Reichenbacb scarcely a man escaped the
Russian charge, and the lire of the infantry.
.0 This reverse irritated Napoleon. Eight hundred
men of the Guard, with a regiment of lancers, sup-
ported by two or 3000 horse, attempted to turn and;
take in the rear a battery which had been placed onl
an eminence on the left. General Colbert conducted
this attack. Our cavalry. was obliged to give way,
but an instant after, a regiment of hussars and a
party of Cossackewere" on the flank of Napoleon's
guards; other detachments threw themselves forward,
and the enemy was put in complete rout, after having
lost some hundreds of men, killed, wounded, and pri-
soners. The following morning the rear-guard con-
tinued its march on Gorlitz, without the enemy daring
to annoy it, and in this manner the combined armies
have executed their movements from Bautzen, with-
out having lost even the wheel of a gun-carriage."
In a former account of the affair of the advanced-
guard, which took place on the 26th of May, at Hay-
nau, it is mentioned, that Marshal Ney, who was at
the head of the troops, saved himself with difficulty.
It is added, 4: upon the flank, and in the rear of the
enemy, the war of partisans has resumed its activity,
as the ground is more open. General Kaisaroff, who
had moved from Mark Lissa upon the flank of the
French with his flying corps, sent a detachment on
the road from Reichenbach to Gorlitz, and surprised
la convoy of artillery. We took from the enemy two
guns, spiked six, and blew up his caissons. The
Colonel of artillery, Lissot, who commanded the
French convoy, was killed, as also a General who
followed in a carriage. More than 300 men re-
mained on the spot. The Russian detachment has
brought away 80 prisoners, who are already arrived
with the two guns."

port of the Committee on the Resolutions respecting the Affairs
of the East India Cornp..ny" be brought up.
The Duke of NORFOLK wished to know if there was any
thing in the new Charter which would prevent any Captain of a
Liverpool vessel from taking in a lading of tea at Lima and hriug-

nalty attach to him for this indirect trade.
