16.r.NOTE FROM THE /MINISTER OF FOREIGN Al.
FAIRS, EN REPLY TO COUNT DE SIETTERNICH9S NOTE
OF THE 28TH-JUNE, ON THE SUBJECT OF THE AL.
11.IANCEr

Dresden, June 29, 1813.
The undersigned, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has
laid before his Majesty the Emperor and King, Count
de Metternich's note if yesterday.
The proposal contained in that note tends to place
in reservation, not only some articles of the treaty of
alliance of the 14th of March, 1812, but the whole
of the treaty itself, which appears in opposition to the
declaration made up to this day by the Court of
Vienna, and Oren to the dispositions expressed by
Count de Mettetnich in his preceding note of the 224
of this month. It not in the power of any one, to'
cause to exist what does not exist : thus it could not
be said the treaty of alliance existed. if,all its stipulis-
dons were placed in the reseriations.
Hi. Majesty thought that these reservations whith'
were to be the object of the convention to be con.
eluded, merely referred to some articles which were
deemed by the Court of Vienna inapplicable to pre-
fent circumstances; but as they must embrace, as
the note of the C.)unt di Metternich authorises to be.
lieve, the very letter of the whole treaty, his Majesty
can only consider the wish of the Court of Vienna as
equivalent to a renunciation of the alliance.
The treaty of the 14th March, 1812, had been con.
eluded in the opinion of its. being favourable to ali
parties. His Majesty, who does not wish to render
his alliance expensive to his friends, makes no diffi-
culty in renouncing gat which united him to Austria,
if such be the wish of his Majesty. the Emperor
Francis. This change in the situation between France
and Austria will mike no alteration in the friendship
and good understanding resulting from the last trea-
ties, which established peace between the two Powers.

NO. 17.—NOTE FROM THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AF-
FAIRS, IN REPLY TO THAT OF 14. DE METTERNICH, OF
THE 29TH JUNE, ON THE SUBJECT OF THE MEDIA.
MN, WITH A PROJECT FOR A CONVENTION.
Dresden, June 29, IEI3.

The undersigned, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has
laid before his Majesty the Emperor and King, the
note of his Excellency the Count de Metternich, of
this day's date, relative to the offer which the Court
of Vienna made of its mediation.

His Imperial and Royal Majesty has charged him,
in reply to the. said note, to present the. annexed. pro.
ject for articles, as a simple sketch which may serve
In the negotiation for which the Count de Metternich,
and the undersigned, are respectively firnished with
t ull powers.
Count de Metternich will perceive;by the tendency
of the projected dispositions, his Majesty's desire to
replace on its basis, Europe, shaken by thirty years
of war, and to substitute for separate Powers a gene-
yal peace, negotiated, not in the Cabinet, but before
all Europe, and in the face of all her nations.
It was in This manner they acted at Munster, at
Nimeguen) at Ryswick, and at Utrecht ; the Powers
were not arrested by the complication of interests,
and the delays inseparable from a general negotia-
tion, and even at Osnabruck, where they had, besides,
.to conciliate religious ideas, which are always so de-
limte, and from their nature so very little susceptible
of modification, all difficulties were surmounted by
time and perseverance. Why then, when they are
certainly of less consideration, should we now de-
spair of attaining complete succcess ?
His Majesty prefers Vienna or Prague fcr the place
of Congress, as being large cities, where all the ne-
gociators might ir assembled.
He refers to the mediator for adopting such =a-
rmies of policy as may enable the Plenipotentiaries to
enjoy the privileges and honours which belong to
'their' character, and to the dignity of the flovereiga‘
',Of! they represent. —The undereigued, Ice.

" On the 21st, at break of day, two Saxon Officers
appeared at the Swedish advanced pats, befereWor.
Eta, and informed them that their battalion would
come over to our tide. Colonel Bjobsestiima, ac-
companied by some hussars, went to the front of the
battalion to give it a reception. Its Commander, the
Major Von Bunau, declared, in the name of his
whole troop, that- it requested to fight under the
standard of his Royal Highness, for the liberty of
Germany. This battalion is the first of the King's
regiment ; its force amounts to eight Officers, and
1360 men. It entered Worlets with fixed bayonets
and drums beating, and will bear the name 61 the
first battalion of the King of Saxony's Legion. In
three days at farthest it will be completed to 800
men. The Cossack Officer, Obrees, who was detach-
ed with 30 men on the 23d, near Goldwitz, took one
Captain, two Officers, and 40 Saxon Dragoons pri-
soners, after a slight engagement.
84 Six Swedish gun-boats under the command of
Capt. Kruger, have cannonaded the town of Stettin,
the suburb of Dauern, gad the batteries *hit* con-
nect both those places, with good effect. On the 24th
August, the guns at Dawn were dismounted. Lieu.
tekant-Colonel Fesmain, his Adjutant, a Serjeant-
Major, and several soldiers, were killed, and a great
number wounded, on the enemy's side. On the 30th
August the gate of Dauern was broke down by can-
non shot, and on the Ist of September the fire was
directed against the town itself. The boats had a few
men killed or wounded in these affairs.
To draw oft; the attention of the garrison or
Wittenberg from the side whets the trenches were
opened, and therefore to lessen our loss, General Bu-
low received orders to bombard the place from the
opposite side. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the
24th, he caused the suburbs to be attacked. The
judicious disposition made by General Hirchfeldt,
caused the attack to be attended with complete suc-
cess. The suburbs were taken, and the enemy driven
back on all points; we had only a few men wounded,
not a single one killed. The attack does great honour
to General Hirchfeldt. The trenches were opened
on the side of Luthersbrunn, in the night between
the 24th and 25th. The bombardment commenced
on the same night, and several places were set on fire.
The fire continued from ten o'clock in the evening
till five o'clock in the morning. The fire was percep-
tible from the steeples of Leipsick and Dresden. At
the same time a second parallel was opened on the
side of the Castle. Count Woronzow's cavalry keeps
Halle, Querfurth, Eisleben, Bernburg, and Halber.
,stadt garrisoned. A detachment has been at Qued-
lenburg. A part of this cavalry has formed a junc-
tion with the great Bohemian Harbour, and is march-
ed into the rear of General Lefevre, who was skir-
mishing with General Thielemann. Every thing is
ity the greatest confusion at Leipzick. This city can
no longer raise the contributions of money, provisions,
and horses, which are demanded from it on all sides.
" The people ate reduced to such a degree of mi-
sery, that the authorities, who carry the command,
have every thing to fear. The French soldiers are
tired and weary of a war without an object, which
they call the Cyfie aid Sugar War.

" General Czerniucheti is gone with 3000 horse
on a private expedition.
44 Major Helhvig, of General Bulow's corps, has,
on the left bank of the Elbe, opened a communica-
tion with the vanguard of General Schulzenheim, at
Dessau.

The Field Marshal Count Stedinck causes con-
siderable Corks to be thrown up, above Rostau, and
between the Elbe and Mulde. General Baron Win-
zingerode is forming the town of Aiken into a fortress.
" The Military Government between the Oder
and the Vistula has placed the whole of the Land-
strum on the right bank of the Oder, 'under the or-
ders of the General commanding the sieges of Stet-
tin and Kuitrin. This Landstrum will form a mass
of about 55,000 men, in a line of about seven Ger-
man miles.

•, The Landsturm on the left bank of the Oder
will, in the same extent, produce an equal number of
men. This force is certainly not necessary, in con-
junction with the troops of the line, to hasten the sur-
render of those places. Consequently, in a line of 14
German miles, there is already organized a mass of
one hundred thousand Burghers, who are all ready
to fight for the protection of their homes.

"• When Magdeburg shall be enclosed, the Land-
strum of that Province will be called out; at every
step that the Allied Army moves forward, it will
find masses to assist it.

" The letters received from Dresden state, that the
Prince of Neufchatel is very much displeased, and
that he has made the most urgent remonstrance to
prevail on the Emperor Napoleon to make peace.—
Had his councils been followed, humanity would
have had less to bemoan."

preparing to evacuate Dna*.

" General Count Tanenzien, without the least de-
lay, detached his light cavalry in pursuit of the ene-
my ; strong detachments are intended for the left
bank of the Elbe. That General's infantry has hap-
pily joined Blucher's corps d'arrn6e. The head-
quarters of the latter were removed to Esterwerda
on the 28th. General Bennigsen has been at Zettau
since the '2sth. By the united activity of the three
corps, it is hoped the enemy will soon be forced back
into the country between the Elbe and the Saale.

Wittenberg continues to be strongly bombarded.
In the night between thi 27th and 28th the town was
on fire in. several places ; a tower of the castle was
on fire, and fell in. Exclusive of the bombs, rockets
were likewise used, under the very able direction of
the English Captain Bogue.

that fortress with 30,000 tun, and if it's/maid be ne-

The distress in Magdeburg has reached its ut-
most height.. Upwards of an hundred families who
were totally without sustenance, have left the city.
A great past of the garrison, which is composed of
all nations, is sickly. The animosity of the Saxons
and Westphalians against the French military has
broke out into violent disturbances; they have fired
on each other with small arms, and the French have
even been obliged in &heir defence to turn the cannon
on the mutineers. .The Emperor Napoleon has given
his Generals orders to take Dessau, let it cost whit it
will. Information of this was received in sufficient
time to give Major-General Schulzenbeim timely
notice to evacuate the place, and retire. by degrees
upon the works at the tete-de-pont. This was per-
formed on the 27th between twelve at noon and two
m. The enemy did not undertake any thing against
General Von Schulzenheim. Colonel Bjorinsterna,
who was at Worlitz, received orders to fall back on.
the right bank of the Elbe. The day betore yester-
day the party covering the workmen at the tete-de-
pont reconnoitred nearly as far as Dessau. Those
posts of the enemy who had ventured out of the city
were drove into the streets, and the reconnoitring
party returned behind the entrenchments. In this
skirmish we had 20 men killed and wounded.

W We soon after received information that the
enemy at Dessau had received reinforcements, and
was advancing against the tete-de-pont. Field Mar-
shal Count Stedingk sent Colonel Baanisterna against
him with 1000 infantry, some cavalry, and two pieces
of artillery. The enemy hastily retired into the town
and shut the gates; a few young offieersand soldiers,
led away by too much bravery, threw themselves, in
despite. of the enemy's shower of ballets from the '
houses and walls, on a gate, and endeavoured to cut
it open with axes, but nails and iron bands rendered
this impossible ; Colonel Bjamsterna ordered hit
troops to fall back to the tete-de-pont : when he had
reached the distance of 100 yards, the enemy opened
the gate and fired on him with three pieces of artil-
lery. The Colonel halted, returned the fire with his
artillery, and marched on the enemy, who returned
back into the town, and fastened the gates after them.
Our loss consisted in two officers killed, and some
wounded, and three or four privates biped, and about
40 wounded. Colonel Bjamsterna had three horses
killed or wounded under him. In the evening the
enemy again left the town, and tnok his direction to-
wards the bridge across the Mulde, which was entrus-
ted to a battalion under the command of Colonel Al-
dercreutz. This brave officer crossed the bridge, at-
tacked the enemy, and drove him briskly back into
the town, the gates of which were then closed. At
nine o'clock yesterday mornini, the enemy shelved
himself with a corps of about 7 or 8000 men, in the
vicinity of Oranienbaum, between the Mulde and the
Elbe. As we had drawn our posts in, the enemy "I
chewed symptoms of marching against the entrench-
ments and forcing them.

“ Lieutenant-General Baron Sandals put himself
at the head of three battalions. went out of out lines
and straight upon the enemy : he overthrew him, and
drove him briskly upwards of a quarter of a German
mile back. As this General had received orders to
return back to the tete-de-pont, he executed them
with such precision as could not have been excelled,
on the place of exercise.
44 The fire of musketry against the tirailleurs con-
tinued some hours, and the enemy undertook nothing
further. According to the report of the country peo-
ple, the enemy has lost upwards of 600 men. We
had one officer killed, ten wounded, and about 300
privates killed and wounded.
.44 Field Marshal Count Von Stedinck would have
passed the night in the tete-de-pont ; and it required
all the persuasion of hjs Royal Highness the Crown
Prince to prevail on bin to abstain from that reso-
, lotion.

41 Lieutenant-Colonel Merevitz, who bad been de-
tached as a partisan to support the operations of Ge-
neral Tettenbons, has forced himself into Brunswick,
surprised the troops there, and made one Colonel and
,400 Officers and soldiers prisons.
a The Russian Captain Barotzi was attacked at
Halle, by troops superior in numbers to his own, but

;that brave officer nunceuvred so well, that he drove
the enemy back, and made some prisoners.
4' A detachment that was sent against Mersburg,
'found that town already evacuated by the enemy,—
General Count Woronzew bavibg learnt that the
enemy had turned himself towards Cothen, caused
the Captains Orescott and Lowenstein to march
against him with a detachment of Cossacks. They
threw themselves on three squadrons of Polish Maas,
overthrew them, and t 0 the Commanding Grum.
and 4.0 men prisoners.
" The Emperor Napoleon's cosnanosication with
France is cut off to that degree, that his messengers
are obliged to be escorted by whole divisions. It WAS
hitherto only the light troops that carried on this bird
of warfare ; but latterly the inhabitants of several di:
tricts have begun to follow the ex:Ts:pie of the Sp:
niards and Russians, in making common cause w

AUSTRIAN BULLETINS. •
• ticadvartees,st Toplies, Sept. 21.

According to accounts received at Vienna on the
17th instant, General Count Nugent was on the .7th
attacked in his position of I,ippa, by the enemy, *he
advanced by the roads of Adelthers and Trieste.
a The column which advanced from Adelsberg,
consisting of three battalions, with two pieces of can-
non and two howitzers, first cornmerred the attack s
in consequence of which, the advanced posts at Dor.
neck retitird upon the main body of General Nugent.
is The enemy immediately advanced rapidly
through Dnmeck, in two columns, against our troops;
but they were received by them with the greater cool.
tress, and by a well-directed fire of artillery and mus.
ketry, they were soon thrown into such confttion,
that they fled beyond Dorneck, leaving behind them
a great number of killed, wounded, and prisoners.
46-They were pursued in their flight by Major Von
Gavenda, who again took post at Dorneck ; but soon
after hastened with his troops to meet the enemy's
division, which advanced by the Trieste raid against
the position of Passtak, in front of Lippa.

" Captain Von Ogumaun, of the Crentzer batta.
lion, however, kept the enemy so long in check at
ICastelnuovo, that General Nugent had time to
strengthen the position of Pautak. Here the attack
of the enemy was made with such vigour, that he
had almost broke through our centre, when General
Nugent, by a skillful alantelnle, turned the eneinh
and attacked him In the rear. The effect was corn•
plete : the enemy was &Wen back, and was attacked
in his retreat with such vigour, that his columns fled
as far as Bassavitza. The loss of the enemy, at the
conclusion of the affair, consisted of SOO in killed
and wounded, among whom are four officers 6 and
in 450 made prisoners, besides six °Seen. More
prisoners were also hourly Waging in."

up with, at Kosen, an enemy's biome column,
when he took 200 waggons laden with cavalry effects.
and some carriages belonging to French Generals,
cut down 400 men, and made prisoners four officers

we have not learned, was killed on this occasion.
