The Bth and 9:11 of May were very remarkable days for the inha bitants of Dresden, some days previous we could collect that the Allied Army was te!reating, because we witnessed the arrival of baggage, of the park of artillery, and many Prussian. and Russian Generals. with some truops who returned front Pegau ; but in the triad of the 7th, all doubt was removed of the retreat of the Combined Force:;; and on tne morning- of the Bth the troops were hastily ietiriug t ► the right oahk of the Elbe. By four in the morning of that day the Emperor Alexander had retired to the right bank, and about Dine was bil lowed by the King of Prussia. At last, about 11 o'clock, when the A:lied Army had crossed the Elbe, the bridge was bursted, by which means alt communication was interrupted. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon the French Hussars entered Dresden, accompanied by inany other troops, who pursned the Rots= sans to the points where they crossed the Elbe. The Russians de fended the hies-de-pont erected on its banks; there was a gooll deal of connonading, awl tire of musketry; but the Russians having all crossed the Elbe by mid-day, set fire to the ly idge s, which were seen floating down the river, on fire, and continued to float duwu in that state as far as the great bridge. After dinner, the Emperor Napoleon entered Dresden with his army. accompanied by the Viceroy of Daly, a number of Marshals. Berthier and Macdonald. He is lodged in the same palace which he formerly occupied. During the night, and next day, the neces sary preparations were made for establishing a bridge over the Elbe. The Russians endeavoured to oppose this, and did not cease firing on the left bank both with cannon and tunketry. 'they bad placed a cante.n at the bridge, and occupied the homes acljrinitig the Elbe. from whence they directed their tire, to which the French did not cease teplying, so that there was a continued engagement, which lasted from tour in the morning to eight in the evening. Two inhabitants of this city were killed, and between Z) and 40 wounded. A number of balls fel on the houses, and in the streets, bat did no damage. Thus the inhabitants of Dresden spent this day in tear and alarm. Scarcely had we reposed a few hours, when at one in the morning of the inth, the cannonade and tire of noisketry rs com menced, and lasted till four o'clock. The Russians en . .. tell the New.. Town, and a Freneh garrison WV immediately placed there. Pro bably, the new bridge of boats will be forthwith re—established.
