. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 594 which has suffeued on this occasion. BUONAPARTE says ex pressedly, previous to mentioning the arrival of General KLEIST on the mountain in the rear of the French, that the 2d, 6th, and 4th corps, commanded by AI A RMONT and Sr. CYR, had joined the Ist, commanded by VANDA WINE. We find besides, that the remains of the Ist corpr rallied on the 14th (NIA RMONT*9) half a league from the &Id of battle; and no man, who knows the rarge of a gun and the rate of 'the marching of troops can possibly suppose that a corps at half a league from the scene of action has not been in the action itself. W e think ourselves . 1 as. (cJ. therefore, in in ferring that Buos Ap A RTE has sustained a signal defeat in Bohemia; and thi-. epinion is streng•hened by the glaring and contradictory fdschoods of that Bulletin, which asserts in the beginning, that the very same V aNDAMME was at Pe terswalde on the 2(,th, the day of his defeat at Culm ; that the Allies kit a thousand cart lazes on the road of Freyberf,7, which it states before they could - not Oce ; and in which, in short, the account of the marches of the Allies and the French are so perplexed that it is both useless and impossible to attempt following them on a map. Whilst the efforts of the enetr.:, - - were thus et ippled in Bo hemia, • the armies destined 'to seize Breslau aad ac cording to the original plan of Buosa ?MIT E, felt them elves too much weakened by large drafts to undettake tine arduous task, or even to resist the attacks of the Allies in those var let-3. General BLUCHER, whom Buos APARTE pretended to have driven flom his advanced positions on the Bober, returned and on the river K.ttk.-hach defeated Ai AC isoNa LD, NET, and SEBASTIAN!, with the loss of sixty pieces of cannon on the 26th of August. It appears that he followed up his advantage ; for Paris papers to the 14th, which bring the news flom Dresden to the 7th, claim Ito other military success than that of driving BL across the Ncisse, which is near sixty miles fioni the Bober, and about an hundred from Breslau ; that river flows into Sallony,—and, whether or no, MACDONALD will, as it i% asserted, be able to maintaill itself on its western batik, it is evident that the whole of Silesia, which BUONAPARTE be fore the At mistice represented as a perfect garden, and in which his troops found every thing in plenty, is now com pletely evacuated by the enemy. BUONAPARTE'S plans have not been more successful on the Lower Elbe, and f r om the same reason, the divelsion from Bohemia. Oum NOT, who connnanded the prircipal corps, attacked the ('tows PRINCE of SWEDEN at Gross Bcren on the iSd rf Augnst, but \i'as repulsed with the loss of twenty-six pieces of cannon, and obliged to fall ly!el; to wards the Elbe. In subsequent actions, from that day to the 30th, the corps of Gt it ARD was completely routed, and the enemy in that quarter has, since the renewal of tics, - ristained, in the whole, a loss of 12,00 Q men killed and wounded, 7,000 prisoners, and a considciable propor tion of artillery. In the mean time Da vonsT, who ad sauced towards Berlin from llamburgh, after some trilling success over the corps of General \VALMODEN, composed ] of German patriots, finds himself shut up in SchWerin, and, a; report says, cut oft from Ilamburgh and the Elbe ;--at any rate, it does not appear that the corps he commands can, in its present situation, have any influence on the general military operations. Such is the view, and we trust an impartial one, we have taken of the present state of the campagn. From these statements, drawn from official documents, and from the ac counts Of the enemy himself; it will be seen that notwith standing the failure of the attack on Dresden, be has, upon the whole, been successfully checked in his career,—that the plans of he loudly proclaimed the exceution, have SEPT. 14. been defeated,—that part of his conquests have been wrest ed flout him,—and that a rational hope-may be at last en- tertained, that, by persevering in the same line of conduct, (he Allies will ultimately succeed in insuring the repose of mankind.

" His right could neither retire by the causeway of I'irna, nor that of Dednia, and therefore retired upon Maxen, and from ience upon DippoldeswaLla. All that there were of partizan: or detached were cut all. The Russian, Prussfan,. and Austrian baggage got entangled upon the causeway of Frey berg ; sererd thousand car riages were taken there. Arrived at Altenburg. where the road from Toeplib. to Dippoldeswalda became impraetieable, the enemy took the resolution of abandoning more than thio carriages of ant munition and baggage. " the 29th Gen. Vandamme passed with eight or ten bat talions the neck of the grand chain, and marched upon Kuhn. Ile there met the enemy eight or tel thousand IttrOne ; he engaged his; ; not finding himself sufficiently strong, he made - his corps d'arince descend ; be would have scion overthrown the enemy. Ili place of re-entering and again Waring himself upon the heights, he remaioed, and took a position at Kuhn, without guarding the mountaia. This momitain commanded the only causeway ;it is high. It was ooly on the 30th that Marshal St. Cyr and the Duke of Razu.e arrived at the debouch frOm Toeplitz. Geo. Vaud:mime only thought of closing the road against the enemy and taking all. " 'lo akin,T army a bridge of gold must be wide, or a barrier of slug opposed." lie was not strong enough to oppose this barrier of steci. " However, the enemy perceiving that this corps d'arrnee of F 3,000 remained Alone in Bohemia, separated by hir.di monntaios and that all the others were at the- foot of the ml ifinitaitis on the other side, saw that he was lost unless he defeated ; concuivtd • the hope of successfully attacking it. its position living had. a The Russian guards were at the head of the army which fought in retreating ; to them were joined two fresh Austrian diVI-ions. " The remainder of the enemy's army joined as it debouched, followed by the td, 6th, and 14th corps : these troops reached the Ist corps. " Gen. Vandamme chewed a good countenance, repulsed all the attacks, penetrated ail that presented itself; and covered the field of battle with dead. 66 Disorder increased in the enemy's army, and .it was witk admiration seen what a small number of men can du against a mul titude whose monde is weakened.
