the Fiench and Allied armies tn 2o,h Sept.

was at Topiitz, 40 miles from Dresden. the
same position they held month before !;
and according to- the French accounts,
their forces were shut up in the valley of
Iopiitz, and kept in check by the superior
positions of the French armies. The head
quarters of the French Emperor was at
Dresden on the 29th Sept. and the line of
posts extended from Pirna, on the Elbc, to
Dresden, Leipsic, rargan, Wittenburg, and
along the whole course of the Elbe to Ham
burg, nearly the same positions they held
a month before, and the communications no
way lnterrupted-2o Thousand quintais of
grain had passed up the Elbe and arrived

any importance had taken place since our
last dates, up to the LIST Oct. The contin-
aal rains is represented to have prevented
the execution of many plans. We 6nd Ma

rains, as well as Wilkinson and Hampton
but no murmurs were heard against n
French army for staying its march on ac-
count of the xeather--the executiono of plans.

roy has advanced and gained some advan-
tages on the side of Italy. Disunion had
began to appear AMONG the allied armies.
