By command of General Manteuhel, the fusi-
lier battalion of the Twenty-itth Infantry was
embarked at Herburg at 10 p. NJ. on the 18th,
on board the Prussian gunboats LOTtey and
CgclOps and a private Hamburg steamer to un-
dertake an expedition against the Hanovertan
fortress of Stade.
The battalion reached Turdenfeth at one

The battalion followed as rapidly as possible,
but found the gates already closed.
With the help of the crowbars carried by the
sailors the gates were broken open in few
minutes, and Lieutenant-Colonel Won Cranach
advanced in double quick step at the head of
his men into the now thoroughly aroused for

the column was met by detachment of Hano-

Olnutz Dune 19) correspondence of London Times.
Until an attack is intended to be delivered, or
a menaced point protected, Olmutz is well fitted
to be the point from which to organize and
direct an army which is face to face with the
Prussian boundary line.
Only two great roads by which an army could
enter Moravia lead over the Sudetan Gehlrge
and both pass through 0lmutZ, so that il stands
in the direct route of an invader, and must be
taken if his artillery and heavy stores are to
| pass.
