Z From The Vienna EEtraordhary Gazette.
According to official accounts from the
head quarters of Field Marshal the Prince
| of Schwartzenturg, dated at Dux, the s0th
Aug. at six in the evening, the allied armies
have obtained complete victory over the
corps d'armee of Gen. Vandamme, which
had advanced by the road of Peterswalde to
Toplitz.
After the enemy, though more than 10000
strong, had, during the whole of the 29th.
been prevented from penetrating to Toplitz
by the distinguished valor of the Russian
corps of guards, about 5000 strong, under
the command ofGen. Count Ostermann, and
even towards night fall been driven back to
Culm, which he held in great strength, the
Field Marshal Prince of Schwartzenburg
| determined, for the support of the Russian
troops, to attack Vandamme's corps with
the united divisions of Colloredo and Bianchi.
and the Co5urg brigade of cavalry The
battle commenced at Gay break and was
crowned with the happiest results
About two in the afternoon the Prussian
corps d'armee commanded by Gen. KIiest,
| debouched from the deiIies III the rear of the
enemy. From that nomeht he was thrown
| into the greatest disorder, which ended in
complete rout. The number Of the prison
ers (among whom are several generals, par
I ,icularly Vandamme and Haxo. chief of En-
| gineer) and of the pieces of cannon taken,
81 OF which are already counted, together
| with the quantity Of baggage lost by the
