COPY OP A DISPATCH FROM EDWARD THORNTON, .280,.
TO LORD CASTLEREAoII,
Dated JuterbOch. 10th Sept. 1813.
My LORD—I have the honour to inform your Lord.'
Ship, that the Combined Army in Bohemia has, oil'
the evening of the 4th of September, and on the sth,.
Made a movement in advance ; and that it appears
from the accounts received here to be the intenttau of
the Allied Sovereigns in that quarter to recommence
offensive operations. -
This movement has, it should seem, already had
the effect of recalling Bonaparte from the attack
which he meditated against the army of Gereral Blu-
cher who had fallen hack before the superior forces
of. tlhe former, and has compelled him to return to-
wards the Elbe. General Blucher, in consequence,
had himielf resumed his former movements, and was
already engaged in harassing the rear of the enemy
in their retreat.
It should seem by the accounts from the outposts,
and from the flying parties of this army, that the
French are withdrawing their heavy artillery across
the Elbe towards Leipzig and Erfurt, which seems
to indicate the intention of quilting entirely the right
bank of that river. 1
The light cavalry of this army has penetrated on
the left as far as Muhlberg on the Elbe, in the neigh-
bourhood of which a body of two hundred Cossacks
made about forty prisoners.
The Head-quarters of the Prince Royal still re-
main here ; but it seems probable that they will be
removed ta-morrow nearer to the Elbe, and with a
view to the passage of that river.—l have the honour
to be, &c. (Signed) EDWARD TIInItNTON.

Head Timers, at interboch, Sept. to, 1813.
The results of the battle of Dennevire became more
important every day beyond what might have been
expected ; already we reckon more than ten thou-
s-Ind prisoners, eighty pieces of cannon, upwards of
four hundred ammunition waggons, three colours,
and one standard, taken.
The enemy's army, after having been driven Gam
Dahme by General Wobeser, hastened its retreat
upon Torgau. Our light troops have never ceased
to pursue it, making prisoners, and taking ammuni-
tion waggons and baggage. The enemy has de.
stroyed the bridges upon the Elmer, in the neighbour.
bourhood of Ann-tburg and Hettzberg. The cavalry
may easily ford it, but the bridges must be re-esta-
blished` fur the artillery. Eight hundred prisoners
were taken close under the tote-de pout of Torgau ;
and several battalions of the enemy's army, not being
able to enter Torgau, had thrown themselves on
Muldberg, and taken the direction of Dresden.
In the night between the 2d and 3d of September,
'Marshal the Prince of Eckmuhl evacuated Schwerin,
ith his whole corps. As he occupied a very strong
position, this movement has been caused undoubtedly
by the successes of the Combined Army on the side
of Saxony. The enemy had previously the means of
making his preparations for retreat, and was there.
fore enabled to carry off his artillery and baggage,
and besides gained a considerable advance on the
corps of General Walmeden and Vegesack, the first
of whom "as posted at Crevitz, and the latter near
Warin. The corps of the Prince d'Etkmuhl marched
in two columns on the same line, by the routes of
Gadebtisch and of Ithena, to within a league of Ratze-
burgh : the division of General Loison retired at the
same time from Wismar by Grevesmohlen to Schon-
berg. At this place the Danish troops separated
from the French; the latter retiring upon Itatze.

The loss of the enemy in this precipitate retreat
amounts ahead) to more than one thousand men,
five hundred of whom have been taken pi isoners.—
The Cossacks, the corps of Lutzow and of De Reiche,
