Zerbst, 00,4, 11113;
MY LORD, —T have the honour to acqnsint your'
Lordship, that Gen. Pozzo di Borgo has received in-
telligence from the head-quarters of the armies in Ho- I
hernia, under date of the e4th ultimo, stating that,
the corps of Gen. Beunigsen having joined the Grand
Army, the Allied Sovereigns had come to the resolu-
tion of making a movement by their left from Bolte.i
mitt, and that this Movement should 14ristecuted on
the Ist of the present month.
This intelligence determined the Prince Royal to
attempt the passage of the Elbe. The bridge at
Rosslau had been already completed, while the
works of the tcte-dc-pont on the left had been traced
II out, and were in a state of progress. Detachments
of Swedish troops were in possession of Dessau, and'
the town of Arkin, on the left bank a little lower':
-down the river, was fortifying, under the direction
of Count Woronzow, in such a manner as to remter
it a place of considerable strength, while prepara-
tions were accelerating for constructing a bridge',
there.
In the mean time, the enemy, who appear to have
[ had no idea of the passage of tile Elbe, at Ackett,
sent strong detachments of troops to occupy Dessau
and the line of the Mulda, and employed themselves'
in throwing up works, as well before that town;as in
front of the tete-depont, at Rosslau,*withintetit to
impede the-passage there, and to obitruct the Move.'
ments of the army after the passage. This gave occa-
sion to skirmishes between the enemy and the Swe-
dish advanced guard, which wal3 obliged to relinquish
Dessau, and to retire to the neighbouthood of the
tete-de-pont at Rosslau, and indeed to the right bank
of the river.
Under these circumstances, the Prince Royal re
-ceiveri intelligence from General Blucher, on the Ist
instant, informing his Royal Highness, that he
should, on that Clay, make a movement with )11s
Whole army on his right towards Hertzberg ; that on
the following day he should be at aessen -, on the 3d
at Elster, and on the following day (to-day) would
effect the passage of the Elbe at Etter, proceeding

'snaking himself master of sixteen pie9ei 'of cannon.
It is understood that this victory, which *lli atried
against the corps commanded by itertrand;;Wai not
obtained without considerable • loss, particularly
among the troops commanded by Gen. D'Yo4 ;
but the particulars have not been received.
The Prince Royal received this intelligence yes-
terddY evening; while he was at Rosslau, or immedi-
ately on his return here, and took the resolution of
crossing the whole army" to-day over the Elbe, at
Acken and at Rosslau the Russiaris at the foither
and the Prussians and the Swedes at Rosslau, some-'
what later or otherwise, according as It should be
understood whether the French would make a stand
at Dessari: This, however, was not tobe expected,
• when once the passage of the Rossiaus was com-
pleted at Acken, particularly ander the position of
General blucher's army, and in effect it was learnt
this morning, that the French hdd retired from Ded-
sau, where, consequently, I learn' that, the head-
quarters of the Prince Royal will he established this
evening. His Royal Highness left this place about
nine o'clock this morning.
