Thousand men-HALF HIS ARMY
An officer arrived this morning. ut
the Office of Lord Castlereagh, with
dispate i,es from Sir G. Stewart aud
Lord Cathcart. They annouBee,
that on the 18th nit. there were two
battles fought one between Con.
Blucher and Nsy !; and The other be.
tween Bonapsrte and tho Prince Of
Schwartzenburs.
First Battle.-After a hard and
sangainary action, which continued
for some hours. Ney was defeated,
with the loss Of $4,000 nleu.
Second Bqitle.-Thi, battle fought
on the same day as the first, was e.
qually well contested and bloody.
But ut length Basaparte succeeded
in sreaking through the centre Of
the Prince Of Sehsartzenburg's ar
my. by bringing MP the whole Of his
cavalry, under MuIas. The allies
then brought ~ their reserve, and
drove Bonaparte back upon the point
he occupied before he pierced the
Prince Of Sehwartzenburs's centre.
The battle Terminated at night, and
both armies remained in sight Of
eReh other, without either having
gained any material advantage. On
the 18th. they prepared for the more
important Battle that was to take
place next day.
Third Bntfle.-On the 18th, the
Allies having collected and eencen-
trated their forces under tho Crown
Prince aud Butcher, and the Prince
Of svhwartzenbuFs. attacked Bona
parle in all his positions. He fought
with the determination, the despc-
ration. that man may be supposed
10 have. who feels that his Crown
perhaps tepcnis upon the issue of
the conflict. But his ohstinscy. his
tslcnts, his skill, wore unayaiiing.
He was defeated with the loss Of a.
hant 70 900 men, and nearly 200
pieces sfcannon.
EFtP5." STORMED.-With-
out giving the enemy days respite.
the Allies advanced to ..eipsic the
day after their glorious victory, and
after most bloody resistance. took
il by s;ogn,. with $4,000 prisoners,
and q great number Of cannen, am
Dunition Wagons. re. Thus, in
four days, Bonapsrte's army was re-
dueea one half. mere rapid and e.
nerm1us lass than he sustained in the
same space Of time. evea in his Ca
iamiious campaign in Russia.
Less en- the 10Th, by Eey. $4,000
On tho 18th, by Bonaparte
in person, 10000

Leipsic, $4,000
Total $4,000
Driven frsm Leipsis, Benaparte
attempted to retreat by Effurt, the
direct road 10 the Rhine. He failed
the read was already occupied by
his sonquerors. His retreat to Err.
furt was cut of. He then. with the
wreck and remnant Of his army,
teok the road towards Brunswick,
thus removing further from his re-
sources and his rsinforeements. The
Allies were IN pursuit. ofhim. and he
is destined. We trust. TO experience
fresh disasters aud d-fest. May We
not now retort upon him his sWn
words. and say, /" Surely the fnger
Of Providence is here "
Of the officers that fell on either
eide We have Nc detailed account.
