We were many days in doubt of the re-
suit OF the sanguinary conflict in the enyi-
rons OF Leipsic, yesterday evening we heard
that the allied armies were In full retreat.
and that they had evacuated Dresden.
We are Ignorant of the cause of such re.
treat. The account published by the Rus
SLAMS at Dresden, mention advantages oaip-
ed, on manifest contradiction to the nrec;..
pitate retreat OF the allied armies, a retreat
which exposes to great danger the cities
OF haJnburgh and Berlin. Many private
letters state the losses Of the Prnssians in
the battle of the ID to be immense.
