PRIVA'T'E LETTERS.  ;:it  and tap:mote the advantage liberty to hams him, gained.We h. ave consequently kept the field of batde, the victory ts onr's, and the intended purpose is accomplished. Near 50,000 of our best troops have not yet been engaged; we have not lost a single cannon, and the enemy must have perceived what can be effected by united national feelings, between two firmly allied nations, in courage and resistance ; and that the high hand of PROVIDENCE protects the just cause of those Powers, who have no object but their independence, and to found a durable peace on the freedom of all nations. Such was the battle of the 2d of May, fought near the plain of Lutzen, where the liberty of • Germany was once before conqndred. With the courage of lions did both Russians and Prussians fight for it, and their endeavours have not been in vain. The loss we have sustained may amount to about 10,000 men, but the most of them are only slightly wounded.— Among the killed, on the Prussian side, we have, among several other valuable Staff-officers, to lament the loss of the Prince of Hesse-Homburg. Our wounded are, on the Russian• part, General Von Koonieczyn ; on the Prussian, Generals Blucher and Scharnhorst slightly, and Hunerbein dangerously.— On the French side, according to the report of the prisoners, we learn that Marshal Bessieres is killed, Ney and Souham wounded. Upwards of 1000 pri. scners are already brought in, ten pieces of artillery taker., and some thousand muskets captured at Halle. Our light troops are now occupied in pursuing the clew). .Although the numerous villages lying near to each other in this territory, and its canals, together with the precaution taken by the enemy never to appear in the r‘pen plain, did not afford our cavalry an opportunity of charging in line, yet the Prussian guardedu-corps, and the regiment of Brandenburgh cuirassiers, cut down several masses of the enemy's infantry, even amidst the villages, and under his cross-fire, and have thereby gained a share in the immortal honour which the Prussian wan iors have again obtained in this murderous battle ; and in like manner have the Russians proved that they can fight on the German soil, with the same sentiments which insured victory to them in their own country. • These are the results of this day, up to this present. GOD bless our arms! lie visibly and during the battle protected both our beloved Monarchs, who several times exposed themselves to danger, even in the villages where the battle raged the hottest. May he furthermore bless and preserve them to us !  At a late hour last night, another Heligoland Mail arrived, bringing an account of a second and third attempt by the French, under Davoust, upon Hamburgh. The first attack, as was stated in the extracts from yesterday's Mail, took place on the iiith instant ; the second, on Monday the 10th ; and the third on Tuesday the 1 lth. We subjoin the details of these two last affairs from the Hamburgh Papers ; aid also from the communications of our regular Correspondent. Upon the authenticity of the latter, we think we may now safely remove all apprehensions as to the occupation of the Hamburgh territory by the Danish army of 14,000 men, as mentioned in our second Edition of yesterday. Whatever may be the intention of the Danish Government as to the future, their troops are certainly at this moment most actively and zealously employed, in conjunction with the Hamburghers, in repelling the French Invaders. If our Correspondent's sources of information are to be relied upon, and we have never yet seen them called in question, the dispositions of the Danish Government are cordial and sincere in the defence of the Hanse Towns.  But in the event of any change of fortune, in the course of the campaign, or of the policy of the Court ci Copenhagen, the presence of the Danish army will save the unfortunate Hamburghers from the vengeance which was so unblushingly denounced against them in the last French newspapers. An article, under the head of Prague, notices the arrival there of several Continental Princes—this looks as if there was some truth in the rumour of a Congress being about to be held at-the above place. The German Papers are filled with Official and eemi-c,fiicial accounts (.f the dreadful Battle of Lut-4cn, which we have given at length.  "
