PRAYNE, May 8,
We were many days IN doubt of the
result of the sangulnary conflict III the
envirohs Of Leipslc. Yesterday evening
| we heard that the allied armies were IN
lull retreat, and that they had evacuated
Dresden. We are Ignorant OF the cause
OF such retreat. The account published
by the Russians at Dresden, mentions

allied armies, a retreat which exposes

| and Berlin. Many private letters state
the losses of the Prusslans in the battle
| of the I'd % be immense
