says, the Prussians lost 10000 men on the

but few, as the French 1st and Sd corps un-
der Lobau and Vandamme, had hoisted black
JfGgs previous to the battle and had sworn to
give no quarter to the Russians.

from private army letters that among the
French prisoners are Count Lobau, Bertrand,
favorite of the Emperor's) Vandamme,
Mouton, and Lefevre Desnouettes. They
are all distinguished officers. The latter,
however, broke his parole while a prisoner

There are numerous estimates of the losses
in the late battles in Flanders The Prug-
slams lost on the 18th and 10th, about $4,000 J.:
and the British and auXiliarieS on the 10th *
18th, about $500. Our loss in officers is Sc

is equally false that all the Dukes aids were
killed wounded.
The French bulletins acknowledge a loss of
700 on the 18th. and 5000 on the 10th. and
private accounts say, his loss on the 18th. was
acknowledged to be $4,000, with many can
non part OF which had been previously can
tured. This account says, the allies had lost
already $4,000 men We estimate the French
loss at 10000 q. the lowest calculation.

the t-ari or aberdeen, on the subject of the
death of his aid. Col. Gordon, he saws,
Cannot express 70 you the reeret and
sorrow with which contemplate the losses the
country and the service have sustained pono
more severe than that of gen. Sir w. Gordon.
The glory resulting from actions so dearly
bought is no consolation to me, and 1 cannot
imagine that it is any to you but trust the
result has been so decisive, that little doubt
VIII remain that our eXeftions will be rewar-
ded by the attainment of Our first object
then it is that the glory of the actions Dsghich
our friends have fallen, may be some conso-
lation."
