riflemen commenced the action, and
the fire Of musquetry was brisk. The
skirmishing demonstrated the proxim-
ity Of the armies; who only waited for
the fog to disperse to commence a.gen-
eral battle. Good as the Prussian po-
sition was, they were soon driven from
it and the French army formed in or

Letters from Berlin state, they ex-

the report of an armistice.
Berlin IS general, considered the CAPT
tai Of Prussia but Konisburg claims the
honor. Berlin contains much wealth, and
$4,000 inhabitants. The palace is said to
be filed with treasure. 1t was taken in
1850, by the Russians, Austrians, and Sax
ons.
The Prussians attribute the loss Of
the day, to the circumstance Of the
Commanding officers, both Of infantry
