sides The Duke OF Treviso carried, withou
firing gun, The village of Kaia, and drove
the enemy at the point Of the bayone,. The
cavalry, infantry, and artillery of the enemy
fed Gen. Bonnet, commander of one oi
The divisions of the Duke Of Raguse, receiv
ed orders TO make movement on his left
upon Kaia, TO succour the center. He sus.
tanned many charges of the cavalry, in which
the enemy experienced many losses.
In the mean time Gen. Count Bertrand al.
yauccd upon the lines. II was in vain tho
cnemy's cavalry wheeled into squares.
His march was not impeded-the Empe-
ror ordered change of the direction by
wheeling on Kaia, all the righ. made change
in front, the right in advance.
The enemy Aed--we pursued him league
and half We soon after arrived at the
height that the Empero; Alexander, the
King of Prussia, and the Brandebourg fami-
ly occupied during the battle. An officer "a
prisoner) whom we found there informed OF
this circumstance.
We have made many thousand prisoners.
The number could no, be greater, consider
ing the inferiori,y of our cavalry and the de-
sire the Emperor has shewn to spare it..
Al the commeneemsD< OF the battle the
Emperor said to the troops, " !, is a battle
of. Egypt. A good infantry sustained by ar.
tillery, that should suffice"
General Gouree, chief d'etat Major OF the
Prince of Moscowa, is killed, death worthy
Of SO good a soldier Our loss amounts TO
10000 killed and wounded that OF the enc.
my may be valued at IS or $4,000. The
Royal Guard of Prussia was destroyed. The
Emperor Of Russia's ouards suffered con-
sidcrably-,ne TWO divisions OF ten regiments
of Russian cuirassicrs were crushed to pieces.
His Majesty cannot bestow too much praise
on the good will, courage and intrepidiy OF
the army. Our young soldiers did not re-
gard danger-they have, in this grand affair,
recovered the noblcness of the French blood
The Etat Major-General, in his account,
will make known the brilliant exploits which
have illustrated this famous day--which as a
stroke of thunder, has frustrated the chimer.
ical hopes and all the calculations OF the de.
struction and disme embermcnt of the Empire
The dark plots hatchcd by the Cabinet OF ST.
James during the winter, will be found In an
instant destroyed as the Gordan knot BY
the sword Of Alexander.
The Prince of Hcsse Hambourgh, was
kilIcd.--The prisoners say that the young
Prince Royal was wounded, and that the
Prince Of Mecklenbours Strelitz was killed.
The infantry Of the old guard, of which
battalons only had arrived, maintained the
affair with the sang froid which characterised
it, They did not fire gun-One half OF the
army were not engaged for Lauriston's
divisions occupied Lcipsic----the Duke ol
Rcggio's three divisions were three days
Journey from the field OF battle. The
Count OF Bertrand engaged with only one o
his divisions, and that SO lightly thar he die
not lose so men. His I'd and Sd divisions
did rot act.
( The corps of cavalry Of Gen. Sebastiani
with the Primes of Echmuh's three divisions
were q, the lower Elbe. The allied army, 5ots

eIgns, having a great number OF the Prussiar
princes at their head, has been defeated and

The field Of battle presented an ctsectint
spectacle--the young soticrs at the sight o

Europe would be tranquil if fthe Sosereiog
and ministers who direct her cabinets coul'
have been present in this field Of battle The.
would renounce tho hope Of making the Sta
