mender of the regiment of Altonia, entered Ger°.
as the 2o:sth of last month, and opeued.the way to
the convoy, was no longer necessary lo.the place,
and caused a useless consumption of proribions.
The Colonel, therefore, determined, with the con-
sent of the Goventor, and in conformity with tits
orders which he had received, to leave the place,
and put himself in motion on the 13th instant,
taking with him some families, which wished to
follow him, in order to recover from the fatigues

The enemy having considerably contracted his
position runni the place, it became impossible for
the Colonel tosteal through the French posts. lie
accordingly availed himself of the darkness of the
night, to open a passage by maiu force, and began
hi' march at twelve o'clock at uight. The difficul-
ty of executing his movements with necessary or-
der, in a broken ground, suggested to him the
bold idea of effecting it in the plain, although the
enemy's force was NINCb coucentrated in that quer.
