i His Majefy has decrcsd fpecial rewards Il
thofe who have ditinguiihed themfelves, ans
whole iignal ferviccs Martial Lefebvre pointet
| out.
On the I4th, divifon of 5000 PrufIians anc
Ruflians, but chiefly Prufiiaus, left Konigfberg
landed at Pillau, marched along the borders Of
Nehrung, and arrived at Kahlberg, before on,
advanced potts of the grand guard of light ca.
valry, who reached Furftenwerder. The enemy
advanced as far as the extremity of Friieh- half.
1t was expected that they would be feen pro-
ceeding from thence to Dantzck. A bridge,
| thrown acrofs the ViRula at Furfenwerder, IA
ci'itated the paiIage of the infantry, that was
cautioned in the illand of Nogat, to defe upon
the rear OF the enemy. But the Pruflians were
aware OF this, and would not venture. The EN-.
Peror gave orders TO Gen. Beaumont, aid-dc-
camp TO the Grand Duke of Berg, to attack
them. On the 10th, at o'clock in the morn
ing, this general fet out with the brigadier.ge-
neral Albert, at the head of two battalions of
erehadlers of the referve corps, the third and
eleventh regiments of chaf1eurs, and brigade
OF Dragons. He met the enemy between PAT.
ienwerder and Siege, little before ay-break,
attacked and defeated him, purified him fword
IN hand for eleven miles, took 100 prifoners,
Killed great many, and carried off four pieces
OF cannon. General Albert has behaved with
perfect gaantry the Majors Chemnau and
Salmon, diftinguiihed themfelves. The third
and eleventh regiments of chaneurs, have diff
played the utmot intrepdity. Two briggs of
the enemy, which navigated on the Half, came
to annoy us, but grape-fhot, which fell on one
OF them, made them fhear off.
The enemy has alto, Gnce the 10th, experieu-
ced comfortable lofIes on feveral other points.
On the 18th, the Emperor made the fufileers of
the guard manGuvre, who are encamped near
the cattle of Finckenneiu, in barracks, equal
in beauty to thofe at Boulogne. On the 18th
and 10th, the whole guard likewife took up their
camps in the fame place.
In Sileha Prince Jerome is encampcd with
his corps of obferva,ion, at Franckenitein, pro-
tecting the fege of Neifs The Prince having
learned on the 10th, that column of 5000 men
had left Glatz, to furprfe BreGau, he made
General Lcfebvre fet off with the firf regiment
OF the Bavarian line, IAN excellent regiment)
one hundred cavalry and detachment of 500
SaxoDs. General Lefebvre came up with the
rear of the enemy on the 18th, at O'Clock in
the morning, near the village of Cauth, he at
tackled infantry, took the village by the bayonet,
and made / SO prifoners. One hundred of the
Bavarian light-horfe cut to pieces the enemy's
cavalry and difperfed them, being 500 men,
"'OHS. TIC oOO ullNOuntSQ-an cS-
traordinary conduit, which mutt have been the
refult of foms Misunderstanding, for the Saxon
troops have always behaved bravely, iince they
were united with the French troops.
This unexpected Detection placed the frf re-
glment of the Rayarian line in critical itUati-
on, and occaiioned their lofts of $50 men, who
were made prifoners the reft retreatcd fight
ing, and in good order and the enemy re-took
the village of Cautb At eleven in the forenoon,
general Dummy, who had left Brellau at the
head of 100. French Dragons, chaf1eurs and
foot-hufiars, who had been fent to Silefia to be
mounted, and part of whom had already got
their bortes, attacked the rear of the enemy;
so of the foot-hunars took the village of Cauth
with the bayonet, made 100 prifoners, and re-
took all the BavariaDs that had been made pri-
toners before. The enemy, TO return with grea-
ter cafe to GlatZ, went off in two feparate
columns. Gen. Lefebvre, who had quilted
Scheveidortz on the 18th, fell upon one of
their columns, killed 100 men, and made 400
prioners, among whom are 80 officers. A re-
giment of Poliih Spearmen, of whom Prince
Jerome had ient detachment to general Lee
febvre, having arrived in the morning, greatly
diftneuihed themfelves.
The iecond column Of the enemy fought to
reach Glatz, by the way of Silberberg but
lieut.. col. Ducondrais, the princes aid-de-
camp, met them, and put them to the rout
Thus this column, conffing of or 1000 men,
could not return to Gatz, from which it had
if1ued--the whole were either killed, taken, or
diiperied.
