Mr. Chandler presumed that the Sc

Mr.. Dana. Any person who is bat
partially skilled in what is sometimes
called cyphering,. may doubtless find
out how many companies are stationed
at New Orleans. The secretary has
informed us how many companies are
elsewhere, and then told Us to 90 ard
look up the laws Of congress for the
whole number How, any one az

NAUTICAL knowledge, called subtraction

my protest against the plan Of recriv-
ing such imperfect information from
the executive officers, and being saGsf-

subjects of legislation. The represen-

amplest information from AL the off,

not TO be triAed with in this manner.
IF this house is disposed to legislate
upon the responsibility of the president

Of asking and examining such estimates

The following IS an account Of the ynfor-
tunate battle i was fought the 14th on
the ligh road between Nauenburg and Err
furt, by the French aud prussian armies.
In which the fortune Of war was on the side
OF the French. The march OF the French
troops along the Saal wards Veisseniels
and Nauenb,Ig nae induced his Majesty TO
alter the position Of MS army, in order to
prevent the enemy from advancing upon bis
rear The head quarters were removed
from BlackeEberg, through Weimar, to
Auerstadt, WIN lie General Ruchel advanced
70 Occur the position of Wennar The at
tack was made at three in the morning, on
the 14.L wncna dreadful camonade was
neer3 1t Leipsic, AID that neigbhorhood,
1rom Auerstadt Tie attack WIS made By
the French, and the advance Ut tire Prussian
troops was prevented by some dchles which
were IN possession Of the enemy.
Both sides fought with tie greatest cour-
age and animOsity. The Duke Of Bllins-
wick had the misfortune TO be wounded in
the face b. grape shot in the beginning Of
the action, while he was rcconnitrng the
enemy with telescope and il was fosnd
necessary 70 remove his Hghness from the
field. The battle, however, was carried on
with the greatest spirit. His PIussian Ma
jesty led the troops in person, and had two
horses shot under him.
Every Prussian General exposed himself
20 the greatest dangers, and the Prince of
Orange, F,llda, distinguished himself in a
most remarSa able manner.
The murder0us fl zof the musketry and
grape shot swept away whole ranks Of war
riors. The conflict lasted till FIVE in tie af-
tcrnoon and according to the Information
received, Marshal Ney's division Of 10000
men, coming up fresk, gave decisive turn
20 the affair.
Il was the centre Of both armies which
were particularly engaged The Emperor
Napoleon directed the whole Of the French
operations.
The loss on both sides cannot as vet be
exactly ascertained. The killed and wound
edare generally estimated at 10000 men,
Marshal Mollendorf and Gen. Kalkreuth
are rot killed.
The strength of the combined armies IL
nited is computed at 5000 men,
Of Prince Hohenlohe's corps we have no
positive information. A part of the reserve,
under the Duke of Wirtemburg, passed
through Leipsic on the 18th. A number Of
wounded French have been brought into
Nauemburg and its envirOns. Marshal De
Voust, according to some accounts, Is upon
the march to Dessau.
