On the 9th, about four in the morning,

that complete victory was expected.
when the enemy with fresh divisions and
great superiority su ldenlv forced the left
wing near Neus1cdel, and compelled it to
FIJI back. As oac flank of the imp &
Royal Army was thus thra. lened, his impe-
rial Hlghness the Generalissi no thought il
light to order retreat by Hamsdorf and
the S'z tmberg, in order 70 take aew po-

with Bohemia. This retreat was accom-.
plished in the best order, and without any
rem arkabie loss.
The loss of the enemy on his centre and
left wing was very great. We made 5000
prisoners, AN ong whom were three 'Gcner-
ais. We also took twelve pieces of cannon
with am nutrition, and he was every where
so reduced that he has not since endeav.

Royal army. Gen. Lassaiie is among the
enemy's dead.
Tne Imperial and Royal Army has also
great loss to deplore. Generals Pener,
Viclay, D'Aspre, and Vukassowitz, are
past the hope OF recovery. Among the Sc
vcrely wounded are generals the Prince of
esse-Hom5urgh, S:uterheim, and the
Paar. His Royal UIghness the General;s-

however have had no bad consequences.

w'iI nave received this days Courier, the
Expedition will hsve reached the 6rs,
point OF its destination, and struck the first
DOW. Inc hrst and second divisions or the
Expedition, sailed early Yesterday morninr.
and were soon clear of the Downs. Admiral
Otwdy, vita the remaining division of the
Expedition, sailed at FIVE this IN ,rnne. In
the mean time more horses, troops and ar
tlilery are cmbarking, AMI we have pro.a.
oy, by thus time, on the enemy's coast, the
largest force that was ever sent from the
nritish shores at one time perhaps be.
tween 80 and $4,000 troops.
lhTee islands lie at the mouth of the
ocheldt, Cadsand, Walcheren and Schow-
en-. Ine possession of these islands is me-
cessary to all Interior operations IN the
East and West Scheldt, and these. we
may now say, it is the object of the three
divisions of the Expedition TO attack in
the first instance. Cldsand will probabIv
e'hc nrst island attacked. because IL COM
mands the entrance Of the West Sche,dt,

er. The Marquis of Euntley's division of
'ne oth, 5oth, 91st, 9th, 8sth, and 42d re-
5iments, will attack Cadsand. Cadsand
Is not strong on its Western side, but the
enerny, we understand, have erected
mortar battery above Breskens. With
such battery and Flushing, the Scheldt
nay De in great measure commanded.
put IL IS probable that it is not intented to
attack this battery in front, at least till aft
Ter landing has been effected in another
part. The second division under the CON-
nand OF Sir John Hope, is detained for the
,chowen Island, aud the North part of
w alcheren.-Schowen is necessary to Sc.
cure the East Scheldt, and to put us in 20.
