OclißElt * .
ter Majesty the Easton:as QUEEN and Ititostrr has
4eceived the following intelligence of the situation of
'the Armies on theAth October :
" .Genes al Lefevre Desnouettes was attacked
On the 28th of September, at . seven o'clock in the
Mnrning, at'Altenberg, by 10,000 cavalry and 8000
infantry. He effected his retreat before so superior
forces ; he made some fine charges, anddid the•enerny
much. injury. He lost 300 of his. infantry.; he ar-
rived upon the Scale.. The enemy.was commanded
by the Hetman Platoff and General Thielman.—
Prince Poniatowski marched on the 2d upon Alten- '
berg, by Nossau,,Waldheim, and Colditz ; he over- I
threw the enemy, took more than 406 prisoners, and
drove him into Bohemia.
" On the 27th, the Prince bf Moskwa took posses.
slim of Dessau, which a Swedish division occupied,
and drove that division back upon the tete-de-pont.
On the following day the Swedes arrived to retake
the town. General Guilleminot allowed them to ad-
vance till within grape-shot, then unmasked his bat-
teries, and repulsed them with considerable loss.
" On the 3d October, the enemy's. army of Silesia
marched by Konigsbruck and Elsterwerda upon the
gister, threw over a bridge at the bend. which the
Elbe forms at Wartenberg, and passed that river....
General Bertrand was placed on an isthmus, in a fine
position, surrotvaled by banks and marshes. Between
nine o'clock in the morning and five is the evening,
the enemy made seven attacks, and was always re-
pulsed. He left 6009 dead upon the field of battle g
our loss was SOX) killed os
.wouuded. This great dif-
ferencewas owing to the pod position which Mound
aptl Fonfinelli's divisions occupied. In the evening,
Gener:ll Bertrand seeing new forces debouch, thought
proper to effect his retreat, and took a position upon
the Mulch ith the Prince of Moskwa.
" Oa the 4th, the Prince of Moskwa was at Da-
litzch, upon the left Bank of the Mulda. The Luke
of 'Ragusa and General Latour Maubourg's corps of
cavalry were at Eulenburg. 'l'he 3d corps WAS at
l'orgau. Two hunJsed and fifty partisans, com•
maeded by a Russian Major-General, had marched
upon Mulhausi.n, and learning that Cassel was with-
out troeps, C:ey attempted a surprise upon the,gates
of 'Cassel : they were repulsed; but the allowing dry
the Westphaliap troops having disbanded themselves,
the partisans entered Cassel. 'They gave up to pillage
every thing as hich fell into their hands, and a few
days after left it. The King of Westphalia had re-
tired upon the Rhine."
FL Majesty the NNIPIMS QUEEN and Reoasir has
received tl.e followiog intelligence of the situation of
the Armies on the 15th October
" On the 7th, the Emperor left Dresden ; on the
Bth .he slept at Wurczeu, the 9th at Eulenburg, and
on the 10th at Dube!).
" The enemy's army of Silesia, which had marched
upon Wurtzen, immediately retreated, and repassed
to the left bank of the Mulda : it had some engage-
ments, in which we made some prisoners, and took
several hundreds of baggage waggons.
" General Regnier bad marched upon Wittenberg,
and having passed the Elbe, marched upon Roslau,
turned the bridge of D.essau, seized upon it, after-
wards marched upon Aken, and took possession of the
bridge. General Bertrand marched upon the bridges
of Wartenburg, and seized upon them. The Prince
of Moskwa marched upon the town of Dessau s he
met a Russian divisien. General Dulmas overthrew
it, and teok 8000 men and six pieces of cannon. Se-
veral cabinet couriers, among others Sieur Kraft,with
dispatches of high importance, were taken.
" After having thus obtained possession of all the
enemy's bridges, the Emperor's intention was to pass
the Elbe, to manccuvre upon the right bank from
Hamburgh to Dresden ; to threaten Potzdam and
Berlin, and to take for the centre of operations Mag-
deburg, which, for this purpose, had been supplied
with warlike stores and provisions. But, on the 15th,
the Emperor learned at Deiben, that the Bavarign
army had joined the Austrian army and threatened
the Lower Rhine. This inconceivable defection
made the detection of other Princes be foreseen, and
induced the Emperor to come to the resolution of re-
turning towards the Rhine—a painful change, as every
thing had been prepared to operate upon Magdeburg ;
but it would have been requisite to have remained se-
parated and without communication with France for
a month. This would net have been inconvenient at
,
• the moment when the Emperor fixed his plans ; but
the caw was no longer the same, when Au Ai is was
about to have two new disposable armies, the Bavarian
army, and the army opposed to Bavaria. The Em-
peror, therefore, changed his plans with these untere.
I seen circumstances, and removed his head-quarters to
Leipsic.
" Meanwhile the King of Naples, who remained in
observation at Freyberg, received orders, on the 7th,
to make a change of front, and march upon Genig,
and Frohbourg, operating upon Wurtzes and Witten.

Her Majesty the Empress queen and Regent has
received • the following intelligence respecting the
situation of the Armies on the evening of the lgith of
October : °
" On the I.stfa, Prince SchSviatuen ..bargaiititnian-
ding the enemy's artily, announced in 'dilly 'orders,
that the following day, the litth, there would bea te.
neral and decisive battle. Accordingly, on the 16d);
at nine in the morning, the grand allied army de-
bouched upon us, it conitantly operated to extend
itself upon its right. At first three large columns
were seen' Marching—one along the river Lister,
against the village of Doelitz, the second against the
village of Wachan, and the 3d against that of Liber
Volkowitz. These three columns were preceded by
200 pieces of cannon. The Emperor immediately
made his dispositions.
gs 'At ten o'clock the canntinhde was most violent;
and at eleven the two armies were engaged in the
villages of Doelitz, iVaeliati, and Liber Votkowjtz.'
These villages were attacked six or seven times;--
the enemy was constantly repulsed, and covered tie
approaches with his dead. Count Lauriston, *fib.
the sth corps, defended the village on the left (Leber
Volkowitz) ; Prince Poniatowski, with his iintse
Poles,' defended the village cn the right (Doelitz ) h.
and the Duke of Bellinto defended WathAt2.
44 At noon, the 6:h attack of the enemy had been
repulsed ; we were 'masters of the three villages, and
had made 2000 prisoners. Nearly at the sitnenao.

" The moment appeared decisive. • The Etripettr
ordered the Duke of Reggio to march upon tVa-
chau with two divisors of the young guard, He
equally directed the Duke of Treviso to march against
Liber Volkowitz, with twt, other divisions of Slit

dispositionshad that success which was expected from
them. ,The enemy's artillery went to a distante.-1.

mained 1 our possession.
44 It three o'clock h the afternoon ; all the
is
enemy's scalps had been engaged ; be had recourse
to his reserve. Count Merfeldt, who coninsaaded in
chief the Austrian reserve, supported with six divi.
sions all the troops in all the attacks—and the Impe-
rial Russian Guards, who fcrmcd the reserve of the
Austrian army, supported the centre. Thecavalry
of the Russian guards, and the Austrian cuirassiers,
precipitated themselves, by their lett, upon our right;
they seized upon Doelitz, and came prancing about,
the Duke of Belluno's squares. The Ring of Naples
marched with Latour itlaubourg's cuirassiers, and
charged the enemy's cavalry by the left of Wachati,
at the time the Polish cavalry, and dragoons of the
guard, comm Anded by General Letort, charged by
the right. The enemy's cavalry were defeated—two
entire regiments remained upon the field of battle. Ger
Ineral Letort made 500 Austrian and Russian priso.
ners. General Latour Maubourg took some bun-
dre' ds of men of the Russian guard.
44 The Emperor immediately ordered Curial's di:
vision of the guard to advance, to support Prince
Puniatowski. General Curial marched upon the vil-
lage of Doelitz, attacked it with the bayonet, carried
it without firing a shot, and made 1200, prisuntrs,
among whops was the Gerieral in Chief, Merfeldt.
s. Affairs being thus re-established on our right, -
the enemy put himself in retreat, and the field of trat
tie was no longer disputed with us. The reserve ar.
Itillery of the guards, which General Drouet com-
mended, were with the Tirailleurs ; the enemy's ea-
-1 valry came and charged them. The artillerymen
'formed their pieces in a square, which they had the
precaution to load with grape shot, and fired with Sia
much dexterity, that in an instant the enemy Vl4s r,.
pulsed. Upon these events the French cavalry ad;
vanced to support these batteries.

towski's good conduct dosing this day. To give the,
latter a proof of. his satisfaction, the Emperor ap-
rioted him, on the field of battle, a French Marshal,
and granted a great lumber of decorations to the re-,
giments of hit corps. .
, General riertraed we; at the same time attacked
in the village of Liedenau, by generals Giulay, Thiel-
man, and Lichtenstein. They deployed from diffe-
rent parts about fifty pieces of cannon: he combat
lasted six hours, without the enemy's being •able to
gain an-inch of ground. At five in the evening, Ge-
neral Strtiand decided the victory by Makinza charge
, with his reserve, and not dnly.rendered 'lain the ene-
my's designs, who rusisa to seize upon' the bridges
of Lindeaau and the latiurbs of Leipsic, but even
constrained him to evacuate the field of battle.
' Upon ibelight of the Pantie, a league from Leip-
"sit, and nearly fotir leagues from the field of battle,
where the Emperor was, the Duke of Ragusa was
• engaged. By one of those fatal circumstances, which
often have:an. influence over tlw most important af-i
tairs, the Sicorps, which was to support the Duke
of Ragusa, hearing nothing on that side at ten in the
morning, and on the contrary, hearing a terrible can-
" mcmade on that side where the Emperor was, thought
• proper to march thither, and thus lost the day in
=arches.
_ _

44 The Duke of Ragusa, abandoned to his own
forces, defended Leipcic, and maintained his position
. daring the day, but he suffered losses which were not
. compensated by those he inflicted upon the enemy,
• however great they were. Some battalions of marine
srtillerymen conducted themselves but indifferently.
Generals Co/vans and Frederich were wounded.—
In the evening the Duke of Ragusa, himself slightly
wounded, was obliged to contract his position upon
the Partha. He was obliged to abandon in this
movement several dismounted cannon and several

waggons."

Her Majesty the-Esteems has received the follow-
ing intelligence respecting the situation of the armies
on the 24th October, 1813:
44 The battle of lfachaet disconcerted all the ene-
my's projects ; hot his army was so numerous that
Ire had still resources. He hastily called in, daring
the night, fhe corps which he had left upon his line
qf operations, and the divisions which. emained upon
he Seale, apd he pressed the march of General Ben-
who was coming up with to,obo men.
After the movements in retreat, which he made
on the`l6th in the evening and during the night, the
enemy occupied a fine position two leagues in the
rear. It was requisite to employ the 17th in Neon-
twitting, and. fully determining upon the print of
attack. That day was, besides, necessary to allow
the parks of reserve to arrive, and replace the 80,000
,cannon balls which had been expended in the battle.
—The enemy had therefore time to re-assemble his
troops which he had scattered, when he delivered
himself up to his chimerical projects, and to receive
the reinforcements which he expected.
44 Haying received information of the arrkal of
these reinforcements, and knowing that the position
of the ene:nr was very strong, the Emperor resolved
to draw them vpon another ground.
The 16th at two o'clock in the morning, he
approached Leipsic within two leagues, and formed
his army with the right at Connewitz, his centre at
Probstheyde, and the left at Stoetteritz ; placing him-
self at the mill of Ta.
" The Prince of the Moskwa, en his part, had
placed his troops in front of the army of Silesia, on
the Partha.; the 6th corps at Schoenfeld, and the 3d
and 7th along the Partha, at Neutsch and at Teeth.
—The Duke of Padua, with General Dombrowski,
guarded the position and the suburbs of Leipsic, on
the road of Halle.
46 At three o'clock in the morning the Emperor
was at the village of Lindenau, and ordered General
Bertrand to inarch on Lutzen and Weissenfels, to
sweep the plain, and secure the debouches of the
Saale and the line of commupication with Erfurt.—
The light troops of the enemy dispersed, and at noon
General Bertrand was master of Weissenfels and the
bridge on the Saale.
.66 Baying thus secured his communications, the
Emperor waited the approach of the enemy with
snunesp. At nine o'clock the scouts announced that
they were matching on all the line. At ten o'clock
the cannonade commenced. Prince Poniatosyski and
General J. defended the bridge of Connewitz ;
the King of Naples, with the 2d oorps, was at Probs-
theyde • and the Duke of Tarentusn at Holzhausen.
IAII the efforts of the enemy, during the day, against
fonnewitz and Probstheyde, failed. The Duke of
Tarentum was outflanked at Holzhausen. The Em.
peror ordered him to take a position at the village of
Stoetteritz.; the cannonade was terrible. The Duke
of Castiglione, who defended a wood in the centre,
maintained himself there the whole of the day. The
old guard was drawn up in reserve, on a rising
ground, in tour massy columns, directed towards the
bur principal points of attack.
"'The Duke of Reggio was sent to support Prince
7oniatowski, and the Duke of Treviso to guard the
Oct), uches of the city of Leipsic.
66 'the principal success of the battle was at the
-village of Probstheyde :—the enemy attacked it four
times inconsiderable force, and four times they were
repulsed with great loss.
" At five o'clock in the-evening ihe'Emperor,
oansed the artillery of reserve to advance, and drove
back the fire of the enemy, who withdrew to the dis-
tance of a league from the field, of battle.
" In the mean time, the army of Silesia attacked
tl:e suburb of Halle. All its attacks, repeated a
number of times dus-ing the day, failed. It attempt-
ed, with the greater part of its force, to pass the .Par-
iha at Schoenfeld and Saint Teckla. Thrice it sux-
tecsle-41 in gaining a footing on the left bank, and
thrive the Prince of the Moskwa repulsed and over-
threw it at the.point of the baycnet.
44 At ths:ee o'clock p. m. the victory was ours, as
well on .this side against the army of Silesia, as on
the side of the Emperor against the grand army.—
put at this instant tthe ,Saxon army, infantry, cavalry

In the greater part of our impression of Saturday
we announced the arrival of Paris Papers, containing
the French details of their recent disasters in Saxony,
and we gave such a sketch of their contents as our
limits permitted. To-day we give these statements
at length : they are in an official form—a circum-
stance of unusual occurrence since the retreat from
Dresden commenced. BONAPARTE has returned to
Erfurt; but in such a plight as scarcely any other
General ever found himself in, or his army. ,He sums
up his calamities in the following paragraph—it is the
quintessence of rhodomontade and folly The vic-
torious French army arrived at Erfurt as a beaten army
should have arrived !" We shall now endeavour to
enable our Readers to decide upon the legitimacy of
the double claim thus put in for victory and defeat.
The bold and decided movement of the Caowts
Faust" in crossing the Elbe and the Saale, and aban-
doning his bridges on the former river, led Boma-
PARTE into a snare, and filled him with a most un-
founded confidence. He instantly sent REGNIER,
BERTRAND, and NET, to seize the bridges at Warten-
burg, Dessau, and Acken ; and it would appear that
be proposed to pass the Elbe himself "(as we conjec-
tured at the time) to menace Berlin, and to make
Magdeburg, instead of Dresden, his palate d'ajoai.
It was at this juncture that Sir C. STEWART'S dis-
patches of the 14th and 15th ult. were written, which
did not arrive till after those of the 17th and 19th,
and consequently were not published till Saturday,
when they appeared in a Supplement to the Extraor-
dinary Gazette. They shew, that the annihilation of
the French army being the sole object, the Allies,
despising the threat of moving upon Berlin, disre-
garded losing their bridges on the Elbe, and pro-
ceeded in their task of hemming in the enemy, with-
in a few miles of Leipsic, on all sides.

The first in the of
train
disasters which BONAPARTE
experienced was the defection of Bavaria. Notice of
the treaty signed on the Bth ult. reached him on the
13th, at Duben. He conjectured that this example
would be followed by other Princes : he found that
the Lower Rhine was threatened ; and, therefore, he
instantly began his retreat, by falling back on Leipsic,
around which city he had collected all his force by
the 15th, surrounded by the Allies, in the positions so
Clearly described by Sir CHARLES STEWART..
OD that day, Prince SCHWARTZENBERGI announced
in Public. Orders, that there would be a general and
decisive action on the 16th.; and accordingly, at nine
the next morning, the Grand Army of Bohemia de-
bouched on the French. The French details of the
events of this day are in a great measure fictitious.—
The principal facts are already known from Sir C.
STEWART'S dispatches. The Austrian centre was
broken about-three in the afternoon ; but the reserves
turned the scale. This is admitted by the French
expression, that CURIAL'S division of the guard after-
wards succeeded in rs•ertablishing affairs : perhaps this
may be termed a drawn battle. The French troops
engaged in it were the 2d, sth, Bth, and 11th corpse
under Vicloßg LAURISTON, PONIATOWSKI, and MAC-
DONALD, the guards under ()CNNOT and MORTIER,
and the cavalry commanded by MURAT and LATOUR
MAUBOURG. It would appear, that during the main
conflict the 4th corps, under BERTRAND, was also en-
gaged at some distance on .the extreme right of the
French, in defending the bridge of Lindenau leading
to Weissenfels. He was, in fact, busily occupied in
keeping open a communication with the rear.
The battle with Bcyclesa, fought on the same day
to the North of Leipsic, is alluded to• in terms which
fully justify the account given of it by Sir CHARLES
SlzwaitT, Here again, " one of those fatal circler:-
:lances, which often have an influence over the most
important affairs," disappointed the omniscient Da-
mnifies hopes. The Third Corps thought proper to
march to the right, when it should have gone to the
left. Besides which, some battalions of marine artil-
lerymen " behaved but indifferently s" and the result
was, that poor MARMONT, who, with two subordinate
Generals, was wounded in this affair, was driven
across the Partha, abandoning some cannon and se-
veral waggons.
But the most decisive battle way -fought on the
18th, and BONAPARTE enters upon the details of that
memorable day with all the formalities requisite to
prepare his readers for the overthrow of his army.—
The A4ies, he briefly informs us, Were in a strong
pcsition. Although their movements had been dis.
voneerted by the battle of the 16th, they nevertheless
" were so numerous, that they had still resources,"
..ad General BENIGUN hastened up with 4000 men,
hassist in what BONAPARTZ is pleased to term their
"chimerical projects."
The sublime genius of the Tmperor, which had

I'e
t_em previously occupied in planning movements-upon
rlin and Magdeburg, now hastily resolved upon a
:treat. He calls this " drawißg the enemy to different
round. On the 18th he concentrated upon Leipsic,
lt as a proof that he foresaw a reverse of fortune, Ge-
ra' BERTRAND was ordered out with his division
417 in the morning, to secure the communication

details of the battle, which raged furioudt until Elul*
o'clock in the afternoon, are given with tolerable pre-
cision and perhaps with accuracy, so far as the mi-
nutia of time and place are concerned. At this Ma
ment however, when victory had declared • for the
French eagles—ia the moment of triumph and suc-
cess—the whole of the Saxon infantry, cavalry, and
artillery, and the Wirtemberg cavalry, went over to
the enemy !
Strange that the hour of victory should have been
selected for this act of insanity and treason to the vic-
tors ! History affords no parallel for such an event—
we have one comfort, however—the evidence of a
victory having been gained by three o'clock in the
afternoon is confined to BONAPARTE'S own testi-
mony.
Upon the same authority we learn that by
sun-set the fire of the French cannon had driven the
Allies at all points, a league beyond the field of battle.
While the victorious French Emperor was reposing
,amid the laurels he had thus acquired, and had made
his dispositions for the following day; he is informed
that there were no more cannon balls : we remember
that a few minutes before the brave, but unfortunate'
Sir Join; MOORE, received his death-wound, the Offi:
cer commanding a British regiment intimated that his
men were without ammunition. ir They have still
their bayonets, I hope ;"—the gallant leader replied.
The hint was taken, and a successful charge covered
the regiment in question u ith fresh laurels. This was
not prekisely the case on the present occasion, for
BONAPARTE is in want of an excuse for abandoning
the Elbe, and eagerly seizes upon any circumstance,
however trivial, which can palliate his disgrace.
He therefore seizes upon this ridiculous occurrence,
in the first instance ; and next adverts to one of a
more disastrous character. This was the blowing up of
a bridge by the stupidity of a corporal, and from that
moment the French army lost its victorious attitude.
—lt will not surprise us to learn from subsequent
dispatches from the Allies, that this explosion was
concerted by BONAPARTE with his more immediate
military attendants to effectuate his own personal re-
treat at the expence of the rear-guard of his army.
This was his policy at crossing the Berezyna last
winter, and we are inclined to think there was just as
much occasion for alacrity in his retreat across the
Saale. Be this as it may, the blowing up of the
bridge operated in favour of the French who escaped,
by checking the pursuit of the Allies. It is highly
ridiculous to hear of the 41 profound grief" of the
Emperor at thus making his escape.
There is a curious expression towards the close of
the Bulletin ;—the enemy were 4, terrified" with the"
battles of the 16th and 18th, but the disasters of the
19th made them " mune" the courage and superio-
rity of victory. How they could rennne what they
never possessed, remains to be explained.
Upon the whole, the veil drawn over BONAPAR'TZ'S
recent misfortunes is flimsy, but ingenious. He is
constantly beating up for excuses ; but none of
them will pass muster with any but the French
Corporal, who blew up the bridge of Lindenau.—
He very early determines to retire upon Erfurt
" to appreciate the influence of the defection of Ba-
varia ;"—this is the fiest excuse of the whole—the
treason in the Saxon and Wirtemberg armies—the
want of cannon-balls, and the blowing up of the
bridge, are mere clap-traps. The fact is, he had very
early decided upon returning towards France, and
his movement upon Berlin was a mere demonstration
with a view of inducing the CROWN Pamce to fol-
low him, and thus to break in upon the grand plan
of operations of which that great Captain was the
prime mover.

are happy to learn, that at Malta the plague has
