THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1813.

In adJition to the intelligence brought by the
Foreign Mails yesterday, further information was
received by Government from Ilamburgh, which we
have given this day in another .column. It appears
by these accounts that six thousand of the Swedish
troops had joined the Russians and Prussians, and'
the Caowri PRINCE was expected to arrive on the
Elbe about the 16th inst. or as other accounts say,
by the 20th, with the residue of his forces. This
event must be considered very important, as Bea-
NADOTTE would not have ventured to join the Com-
bined Powers against his old companion in arms, did
he not see some ground to anticipate the ultimate
success of their cause. It is also stated, that the
Saxon troops had separated from the French, and, to
a man, was hostile to them. Several actions had
taken place near Magdeburg, between the 4th and
10th inst. in which the French are said to have lost
2000• men.

A Mail from Heligoland arrived this morning, by
which we have receittcl Count WITTGENSTMN'S ac-
count of the actions above-mentioned, near Magde-
burg, between BEAUILARNOIS and the Russians, in
which the lattet claim a considerable advantage, as
will be seen by the following intelligence:—

BERLIN, Aram 10.—Our Paper contains the
following Letter from the head-quarters of General 1
Count Von Witigeo,tein, to M. de l'Estocq, MM.
tary Governor of the Country between the Elbe and
the Oder : . •

44 Weadsrarters, Lerbst, Ilprit-7, 113.

" I hasten humbly to inform your F;scellenct of
the happy occurrences of the sth of April, with the
intent of relieving the good Citizens of Berlin front
the dread and fear they entertained of possibly again
seeing the enemy within theiriwalls.
" General You ilorsfell, with his detached corps,
had already a‘vanced as. far as %blitz, for (he pur-
pose of surrostkding Magdeburg, on the tight bank
of the Elbe ; but, on the 2d April, beitit, attacked
by a superior force, -he, according, tO, his. previous
instructions retreated back toNedlitz, but coveted
roads to Burg and Gommeint by Comas. •

" Generals Von Borate!' and Ailey/ did the same
on their side; the first advancing to Zehdenuk and
the latter to Vehelitz, which places were in the enc..
my's possession, but 'who with diStodged from them

enemy, who had-the adiantage of the ground was
every where very Obetinate„ but nevertheless forced.
at all points to yield to. the bravery of our troopsis
and it was only by the darkness coming In that
end was put to the engagement, and prevented us.
from following up this glorious victory. I cannot
sufficiently express toloni Excellency my approban.
(ion of the Imperial Russian and Royal Premien
troops ; the Lithuanian Regiment of Dragoons, and
two squadrons of the Body Regiment of litissari,
cut an enemy's regiment of cavalry totally to pieces,
or made prisoners or dispersed it. The same fate
attended si second regiment of the enemy's cavalry,l
by the Grodno Hamm% The tirallieurs •of the
brave Pomenrnian isatialioa of grenadiers took a'.
field-piece with horses from the enemy, and in the
whole six powder-waggons were taken, and we made r
twenty-seven . officers and 900 privates prisoners.—'
The General of Division Grenier, and General'
Grundler were wounded. Theenemy's loss certainly
amounts to 2000 men .in killed end wounded. On
our side one Officer was killed and seven wounded ;
we had 500 privates killed or wounded. :The enemy ,
did not take a single man of ours, t keep with.;
them ; one Cossack was made prisoner, Mit he made
his escape, and even brought - a horse along with I
him.

" On the 6th, towards noon, I again sent a de-
tachment of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, in
search of the enemy, who had drdwn of from all
points in the course of the night ; but this prord in
vain, as on his retreat to Magdeburgh he bad quitted
the defiles of Wahlitz and Alten Cluss, and had cut,
off all the bridges.
44 I am at present engaged in causing ;drench-
meats to be thrown up at Class, Konigsbom; and
other points, in order to enable Lieutenant-General
Von Bulow, with the greater security, to blockade
