About this Gine it was ascertained, that the King of
Saxony had declared for the enemy, and had given up
Torgau to the Freneh troops. ‘Vhis intelligence determe
ined the allies to evacuate the Middle ibe, and to con.
centrate the army at Bautzen,
The army has been in this position seven days, ver

shortly expected to take place.
Our detached corps Continue successfully to annoy the

My Lord,—The enemy detached on the evening of the
(7th and 18th in the direction of Luckau and Lubben on
our right; the force was stated to be Regnicr’s corps.
Intelligence being received that Gen. Lauriston, with
9009 men, would march to reinforce the troops above
mentioued on the 19th, Gen, Barclay de Tolly and Gen.
d’Yorck with a strong corps, were sent to intercept and
fall upon Gen. Lauriston.
Gen. Barclay de Tolly fell in with the enemy in the
neighbourhood of Konigswerde, and a sharp contest en-
sued, which was put an end to only by night-fall, and
in which the allies were completely successful—they drove
back the enemy at all points, took upwards of 1500 pri.
soners, a Gen, of division and 11 pieces of cannon. The
enemy’s loss in killed aud wounded was considerabli.—
The cavalry were in pursuit when the accounts came

Paris, May 29.—Wer Majesty the Empress Queen and
Regene has received the following intelligence respecting
the events which have passed at the army during the days
of the 19th, 20th, VQlst aud 22d, and of the position of the
army on the 23d,
“Phe Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia at.
tributed the loss of the battle of Lutzen to the faults their
Generals had committed in the direction of the combined
forces, and particularly to the difficulties attached to an
Ollensive movement of from 150 to 180,000 men. ‘The
resolved upon (aking the position of Bautzen and Hoche
kerch, already celebrated in the fHistory of the seven ycars
war; fo unite there all the reinforcements which they ex.
pected from the Vistula and other points in their rear, to
add to that position every thing for which art could fure
nish the means, and there run the chances of a fresh battle,
of which all the probabilities appeared to them to be ir
their favour.
**The Duke of Tarente, commanding the 11th Corps, left
Bischofswerda on the 15th, in the evening of which day he
found himself within cannon shot of Bautzen, where he
found all the enemy. He took 1 position. From. this
moment the French army marched upon the camp at
Bautzen.
**The Emperor left Dresden on the 18th, he slept at
Harla, and on the 19th at ten in the morning, arrived at
Bautzen. He employed all the day reconnoitring (the
enemy’s positions,
We learned that the Russian corps of Barclay de Tolly,
Langeron and Sass, aud Kleist’s Prussian corps had re.
Joined the combined army, and that its force might be ese
timated from 150 to 160,000 men.
**On the 19th in the evening the enemy’s position was as
follows :—His left was supported by mountains covered
with wood, and perpendicular to the course of the Spreo,
nearly aleague from Bautzen, Bautzev contained his

redoubts. The right of the caemy leaned upon fortified
rising points, which defended the debouches from the Spree,
from the side of the village of Nimschet; all his front was
covered by the Spree; this very strong position was but
a first position.
‘‘We distincly perceived, at 3,000 toises distance in the
rear, the vround newly dug up, and works which marked
their second position. ‘The left was still supported by the
same mountains, about 2000 toiscs in the rear of those of
the first position, and cuusiderably in advance of the vil.
lage of Hochkerch.
“The centre leaned upon three entrenched villages,
where sv many works had been erected, that they might
been have considered as strong places. A marshy and
difficult ground covered three quarters of the centre.—
Lastly, their right leaned in rear of the first position upon
Villages and rising ground likewise intrenched.
‘ihe enemy’s front, either in the first or second posi-
tion, extended about a league and a half, After this’ re.
connoissance, it was easy Lo couccive how, notwithstand.
ing a lost battle, like that of Lutzen, and eight days re.
treating, the enemy could still have hopes in the chances
of fortune. According to the expression of a Russian,

the Qlst inst...
It aprears he had assembted all his forces for this effort
and had wot detached largely, as had been supposed to
other quaricrs.
The geound selected by the allies to resist the enemy ’s
approach, ou the great road to Silesia and the Oder, was
bounded on the ici by a range of mountains which SCpa-
rated Jaisatia and Boteuna, thro? which Marshal Daun
marched to the bathe and victory of Llochhirch,
Some strong commending heights, (ou which batteries
had been constructed near the village of Jackowitz, and
separated from Che cham of mountains by streams and
marshy ground) formed the appui to the lett flank of the
posiden, Bey oud, wudin frout of it, many batteries were
pushed forward, defended by infantry and cavalry, ona
ridge that projecved into the low giound neae the Spree
river. Lt thon extended to the right, thro’ villages that
were s(rongly catr nched, across the great roads leading
from Bautzen to Ilochkirch, and Gorlitz ; from thence iu
front of the village of Boerthewitz to three or four com.
manding hills, which rise abruptly in a conical Shape, and
fom stroug features; these, with the high grounds of
KKreckwitz, were strenghtened by batteries, and were
cousidered the right point of the line.
The ground in the centre was favorable for cavalry,
except in some marshy and uneven parts where it would
impede its operations. I leches were constructed, anden-.
trenchments thrown up, in advantageous distances on the
plain, along the front of which ran a deep boggy rivulet,
which extended round the right of the position.
On the extreme right the country was flat and woody,
intersected by roads bearing towards the Bober and the
Oder.
Gen. Barclay de Tolly’s corps was stationed here, and
should be considered more as a manceuvring corps, placed
to guard against the enemy’s attempts on the right and
rear of the allies, than as immediately in position: theex.
tend of the whole line might be between three and four
Knglish iniles. ‘The diflerent corps occupying it were as
follows: Gen. Kleist’s and Gen. d’ Yorcks corps, in eche-
lon and in reserve, on the right; Gen. Blucher’s, Count
Wittgenstein’s, and Gen. Miloradovitch’s formed on the

terman, with 10 battalions of light (roops, and a large
corps of Cossacks, with their artillery, under Col. Davi-
dofl, to occupy these hills.
After a very strong tirailade in this quarter, and a dis-
tant cannonading on our right, which commenced the ace
tion, the enemy began to develope his forces, and to move
his diflerent columns of attack to their stations. .
The contest in the mountains became gradually warmer,
and he supported it by a very powerful line of artillery —

ing up besides a number of brigades of artillery, with
which he occupied some advantageous heights between our
position and Bautzen, that were favorable to support his
attacks,
These demonstrations denoted an effort in this direction,
and a disposition was accordingly made with Gen. Blu-
cher’s corps, and our commanding cavalry, to meer it; but
an increasing fire, and a more lively cannonade on our
right, made it ultimately no longer doubUul where his
chief attempt was ained. Columns of attack, under co.
ver of a heavy fire, were now in motion from the enemy’s
left, while others were filing to gain our right; and Gen,
Barclay de Tolly was attachea by a very superior force
under Marshal Ney, and Gen. Lauriston; and notwith.
standing the most gallant ellorts, was forced to abandon
the villages of Klutz and Canneevitz. Gen. Barclay de
Tolly had orders, if Gutuumbered, to change the ground
he occupied in front of Cannervilz aud Pricslitz, and to
place himself on the heights surrounding the villages of
Rachel and Baruth, by which the army would change its
position on the left, and cover the main toads thro’ Wurte
zen and Hochkirch to the rear; but the enemy outtlank-
ed him on the right, while they w armly engaged him in
front, aud occupied these heights befure him, which de-
termined hina to throw himself on the right of Wurschen,
Where the imperial head-quarters had been, and which
equally answered the object. Whenit was perceived that
Gen, Barclay de ‘Tolly was pressed by tense odes,
Gen, Blucher was ordered to remove to hts right, asd at.
tack the enemy in flank.

Kleist and d’ Yorck, aud live a iust sanguinary contest
ensued,
These attacks succeeded in checking the enemy —that of
Gen. Blucher’s corps exceeds all praise.

moved to their point of attack, the centre, where the ence

It was only from considerations of such anature as I
have above detailed, that the Allies were induced to change
their position at five o’clock in the evening having Jrom
day-break admirably contested every part of the field of
battle.
Lhe sup riority of numbers was with the enemy, bul
the heroism and firmness displayed by the Allies must be
