WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1815.

To-day we continue our extract.; from the French
Papers received yesterday, but these details adi
nothing on the subject of the affairs sear Dresden.
Our opinions on that head are unchanged—the French
were beaten—taken in the flanks and in the rear by
the combined armies, and driven back into Presden
with immense loss. The Plains of Planets, where the
battles of the 26th and 27th were fought, re situated
two or three miles awkward of Dresden. Pijna,
Freyberg, and Peterswalde, which Count Dmiu'S
!ester admits to have been occupied by the enemy,
are also to the southward, or, to speak in military
terms, in the rear of BONAPARIIes position at Eres-
den.—On the 26th, at three o'clock in the afternoon,
150,000 men were seen deploying in the direction of
Plauen—they must have advanced from the points
whit* have been just mentioned in the form of a crer
cent. BoNArARTE, Or MA RIM for him, says he defesid
them on the 26th and 27i11-:-but who remained mar
tens of the ground on bo'Ll. days ? Nut the French
surely—for they returned to Dresden on the nigh, Cf
the 26th—nay, they came back at night on the 27:t
also, avowedly leaving the Allies in possession of
field, fur we are told that they were at liberty to re-
Wear or to remain where they were ! It appeal;
evident that on the 26th the Allies were the assailauu
—aaLi on the 27th the French were. This is 130u1t7
rauTe's policy—and it was masterly enough, for ht
warded oil" the hlow which was aimed at Dresden
for another day. Out of Dresden he must go, at
last—for the Allies, now that Austria has joined, ar:
swarming in his rear.
The French Papers inform us
,that Count STADio%
is recalled to office at Vienna. Vire rejoice at this
appointment—Count Sramos was one of those high-
bred Austrians who retired or was oismissi.d upcs
the marriage of MAILIA LOVLSA to ntroi.roY
