SURRENDER OF HoHENLouE-cAPTUR
OF sTETTIN AND CUsTRIN.
The opinion we expressed OH saturday,
that Hohenlohe had been forced to capitu-
late Is but too true he has been forced to
surrender with his whole corps. After the
affair of Ledhenich he was forced to avoid
the road TO Templia, where Iurat had ar
rived before him. He then proceeded TO
Prent2low, a town at the northern cxtre-
nifty OF lake, on q direct road to Stettin.
The Prussians. and the French advanced
guard reached it nearly at the same time,
On the S0th nit. As soon as Murat came
up, he gave orders to Charge The Prussians
In the suburbs ofthe town while his caval-
ry attacked the p lssiau flank and turned
the town. The attack on the suburbs was
victorious, and the French were successful!
IN driving the Russians into the town.
Murat Immediately summoned them to ca
pituatc.> capituiation was agreed upon,
and Hoheniche's corps, consisting OF 10 900
infantry, regiments of cavalry, and "A
pieces of cannon, surrendered. Prince Au-
gustus, the brother of TIE gallant prince
Louis killed at Saalteldt, and the prince
OF Meckienburgh Schwerin, were amongst
the generals made prisoners. On the 29rh
another column OF 5000 men was forced to
capituatc to the French general Miihaud,
at PasSewalk. This Prussian Column
seems to have been part of Hohenlohe's
army.
Advancing with his division, Murat's
right wing summoned Stettin, which sur
rendered with21r making any resistance,
though 1t is represented to have been in
good state or deienCc--I60 pieces OF cannon
we're found in the garrison; and the num-
Der OF prisoners taken was 5000. Whilst
the right wing had made itself master of
Stettin, the left extended Itself towards
Anklam and Denimin.
AT Anklam another column of Prussians
about 1000 strong, were forced to Ca ,jitu-
late, and on the first Murat's head quarters
were at Demmin, with the view OF attack
