In single day you have frustrated these
parricidal projects You drive back the Tar
tar hordcs into their trightful climate, whose
bourncs they never should have passed.
They shall remain in their icy deserts, the ks
abode of slavery, barbarism, and corruption
where man is degraded to the level OF The
brute You have we'll deserved Of civilized
Europe. Soldiers Italy; France, and Geg
many, render you their cordial thanks.

officers say that several regiments remain
without officers.
The corps of Gen Yorck has left Berlin 10
the number OF % or $4,000 mcu--Theso
troops have effected :heir retreat by Bornu
they have considerably suffered and appeared
entirely discouraged. The Prussians repor:
their total loss on the Cd from 25 or 10000
men--they say no one can hold ou, when tho
French Volsigcurs commence their FIRE.
A general consideration has taken place in
the confedera,ed armies, il is proportioned
to the extraordinary degree of confidence
that the Russians and Pfussians had before
the ca,assrophy Of the ID. For fifteen days
previous there was nothing talked Of but to
drive the French from the Rhine, and there
to dictate to them the conditions Of peace--a
great parsonage even said that if the Emper-
or Napoleon did not accept the conditions Of
fcred, the conlederated army should enter
France and dictate peace al Paris.
II appears they are ignorant entirely Of
what has been going on in France I; they sup.
pose there exists general dissatisfaction and
that the Emperor has no longer an army.
they now hold very different langusge-,hn
battle Of Lutzen has dissipated all their hopes.
The Prussians have not yet got ever their
astonishment, and general sorrow seems 10
pervade them.--The officers and soldiers
complain bitterly of the councils which have
led TO this great disaster -n5,, .t

In these papers we find the detailed French and An

on the Cd of May at Lutzen, in saxsny. The French
accounts ate that previous to the battle the Rus

forces, we're very sanguine that they should carry
al, before them. Already had they IN imasiratoo
defeated Napoleon and his army, ard laid their plan
for the invasion of France, and the dictating OF
peace at Paris But the superior vasor and skill OF
the French oycrthrew their calculations. and taught
them what they ought before to have known '--vI
that numbers alone do not ensure victory. ihe
prussans appear 10 have been the greatest sufferers.
and much jealousy and discontcnt was stated 10 cx-
ist between them and the Kussians. The French
saw that only about bali their army were engaged
and they consisted almost entirely OF infantry and
artillery They s,Ne their own loss at 10000, and
