pede the retreat, which be could not wholly prevent. Having made the necessary dispositions, he was attacked by Buonaparte in person, who brought up 180 pieces of cannon, to compel him to give way. In this object Napoleon failed, as the combined army retained possession of the field of battle until night, when the left wing was withdrawn behind Hanau. The Enemy then commenced his retreat, and, to cover it, attempted to carry Hanau by assault. To spare the town from bombardment, Gen. Wrede withdrew the garrison on the morning of the 31st October; but the French having, on their entrance, begun a general pillage, the Allied Army recovered it by assault, but with the loss of its Commander in Chief, Wrede, who was mortally wounded in the attack. This irreparable loss so ineensed the AustroBavarian troops, that they put every Frenchman in the town to the sword. The Austro-Bavarian loss is computed at 7000 killed and wounded, and some missing. That of the Enemy was 15,000 killed and wounded. The greatest part of the latter perished in the wood of Lampner, the rapidity with which the Enemy effected his retreat, not having permitted him to carry them off. The road from Hanau to Frankfort was covered with dead bodies, dead horses, and dismounted ammunition-waggons. Fugitives were taken upon all the roads, and, besides those already enumerated, 15,000 had been brought in who were unable to keep up with the army; among them are Generals Morsell and Avesani, and 280 officers.]

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Foreign-office, Nov. 25. Dispatches received by Viscount Castlereagh, from the Earl of Aberdeen, dated Frankfort, Nov. 7:

My Lord, His Imperial Majesty made his public entry into Frankfort yesterday morning. He was met at some distance from the town by the Emperor Alexander and his attendants. His Majesty received the keys of the City from the Chief Magistrates at the Hanau Gate, and afterwards proceeded on horseback through the principal streets to the Cathedral church, where Te Deum was performed. As I accompanied his Imperial Majesty on this occasion, I was a near witness of the enthusiastic applause with which he was received. The streets, the windows, and even the roofs of the houses, were crowded with spectators, who appeared to vie with each other in demonstrations of joy; it was impossible to mistake the sincere and heartfelt emotions by which they were produced. The affectionate regard of the inhabitants was loudly testified at seeing the Sovereign, who, 21 years ago, had been crowned within their walls, to appear in the character

of their deliverer. In the evening the two Emperors went to the Theatre, and were received with acclamations; every sentiment of the piece which had reference to their exertions in the cause of Europe, was loudly applauded. Pleasing as it is to dwell on these circumstances, I am equally happy in being able to inform your Lordship of the continued progress of the Allies, and of the substantial acquisitions which have been recently made by the accession of different Prinees to the common cause. The States of Hesse Darmstadt, Nassau, and Baden, have respectively addressed themselves to his Imperial Majesty. They have renounced the Confederation of the Rhine; and in imploring his Majesty's mediation with the Allied Powers, have expressed their desire to join the alliance. Other States of less importance have followed the same course; and I may now venture to congratulate your Lordship on the complete dissolution of that formidable confederacy, instituted by Buonaparte for the double purpose of proving either an impregnable bulwark to France in the event of foreign invasion, or the instrument in his hands of the subjugation of the rest of Europe. ABERDEEN.

Extract of a Dispatch from Visc. Cathcart, K. T. dated Frankfort on the Maine, November 8.

The Emperor Alexander made his entry into the city of Frankfort on the Maine, at noon, on the 8th inst. at the head of the horse artillery and about 50 squadrons of the cavalry of the Russian Imperial guard and reserve, and some squadrons of the Prussian guard, amidst the loudest acclamations of many thousand inhabitants. His Imperial Majesty stopped near the quarter prepared for him to see his cavalry pass, which they did in the most perfect parade order, after a niarch of one hundred English miles (cantoning and assembling from cantonments included), which they performed in 48 hours; viz. from Schwinfurth, by Wurtzburgh and Aschaffenburg, to this place. On the following day the Emperor Francis arrived. The Emperor of Russia met his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty at some distance from Frankfort, and both Sovereigns proceeded to the Cathedral, where Divine service was performed, and Te Deum sung.-Napoleon has escaped from the Cossacks and his other pursuers, and has carried the remains of his guard, and some other corps, to the left bank of the Rhine, leaving but few troops here.-The possession of a fortress at Erfurth has been the great instrument by which this retreat has been effected.

It was thought possible he would make some stand behind this post; while, on the contrary, he redoubled his speed, and having possession of the best road, while the cross roads by which the Allies

endea.

endeavoured to intercept him were scarcely passable, he gained several marches.Gen. Count Wrede gallantly arrested his progress for two days at Hanau; on the first of which, particularly, the French fought with great obstinacy, and the loss has been considerable on both sides. There is one small spot, where an officer of rank, who saw it, assures me, that the carnage of men and horses was most extraordinary. The efforts of this Austrian and Bavarian army, though they stopped the Enemy for two days, could not prevent his arriving at Mayence before the columns under the orders of the Fieldmarshal Schwartzenberg could overtake him. There are different accounts of the Enemy's force; but, considering the numbers left on the field of battle at Leipsig, and in that city, the number of prisoners sent to the rear during the retreat by all the corps which came up with the Enemy, and the losses inseparable from all retreats of so difficult and protracted a nature, it seems impossible that he can have carried 50,000 men with him, though there are persons who estimate the force still higher. -Buonaparte was present at the battle of Hanau; and his officers are said to have displayed more talent on that occasion than they have lately shewn.

Dispatch from Viscount Cathcart, K. T. dated Frankfort on the Maine, Nov. 19.

My Lord, The Enemy had retained a position at Hockheim, and was employed in restoring the old lines, which passed from the tête-de-pont at Cassel, round that position, and back to the Rhine. Marshal Prince Schwartzenberg determined to put a stop to this work, and to occupy the position himself. With this view an attack was made yesterday, in which the lines were carried by assault, and the Enemy was driven into the works of Cassel, with the loss of several hundred prisoners and four pieces of cannon. I have

the honour to enclose herewith the report I have this moment received of this gallant affair from Major-gen. Sir Robert Wilson. It has been the constant practice of the Major-General, throughout this and the last Campaign, to accompany every attack of consequence that has taken place within his reach; and on this occasion he was with one of the storming parties. In adverting to this circumstance, it is but justice to this officer to state, that the zeal, activity, and intrepidity, which he has displayed on every occasion, have conciliated for him the esteem of all officers, of every rank and nation, who have been witnesses of them, and have certainly done great credit to his Majesty's service. CATHCART. Frankfort, Nov. 10.

My Lord, I have the honour to acquaint you, that the corps of Count Giulay, and Gen. Meerveldt, with the Austriau reserve

cavalry, moved to dislodge the Enemy from Hockheim, which town and position is was understood he was fortifying.-Count Giulay marched upon the chaussée from Hockst. Gen. Meerveldt's corps, commanded by Prince Louis Lichtenstein, was directed on the Donner Muhl, between Hockst and Cassel. The attack commenced about two o'clock P. M. The Enemy fired vigorously from the cannon at Hockst upon six pieces of cannon, in a work which headed the column of Prince Louis, and threw many shells from their mortars at Cassel. The Austrian artillery, however, advanced with so much courage and rapidity, that the Enemy's fire was soon slackened, when the columns of infantry rushed forward, and carried the entrenchment and town, which was surrounded by a high wall, and double palisados at the entrances. The entrenchments had not been completed, but were traced on a considerable scale. Four pieces of cannon were taken, and the Commander of the town, the Aide-de-camp of Gen.Guilemeau, various officers,and several hundred men, were made prisoners.-The remainder of the Enemy (the corps of Gen. Bertrand) retreated upon Costheim and Cassel, and occupying the intervening wooded ground, maintained for the rest of the day, a sharp tirailleur fire, but in which they must have suffered much, as the Austrian cannon played on them from a height above their position, and other guns on the left bank of the Maine threw their fire in flank.-The Austrian loss is not considerable; but several officers are much regretted.-The Prince Marshal has ordered. the heights above Cassel to be fortified; until the works are completed, the corps engaged yesterday will occupy the ground. -The sight of the Austrian flag, again waving victorious over the Rhine, and of the Enemy's great military dépôts, whence issued those armies that have caused so much desolation and misery in Germany, excited an interest in yesterday's operations which every individual felt, and which was finally expressed by peals of enthusiastic acclamations as the Prince Marshal passed. ROBERT WILSON.

Extract of a Dispatch from Edward Thornton, esq. dated Bremen, Nov. 19.

I arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, the Prince Royal having reached it early in the morning of the preceding day. The Prince Royal has received information, that the corps of Gen. Winzingerode are in possession of Groeningen, and have advanced as far as the Yssel, where they Occupy Zwol, Zutphen, and are in the neighbourhood of Deventer.

LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Downing-street, Nov. 24. The Marquess of Worcester has arrived with the fol

lowing Dispatch from the Marquis of Wellington.

St. Pe, Nov. 13. My Lord, The Enemy have, since the beginning of August, occupied a position with their right upon the sea, in front of St. Jean de Luz, and on the left of the Nivelle, their centre on La Petite La Rhune in Sarre, and on the heights behind the village, and their left, consisting of two divisions of infantry, under the Comte d'Erlov, on the right of that river, on a strong height in rear of Anhoue, and on the mountain of Mondarin, which protected the approach to that village; they had one division under Gen. Foy, at St. Jean Pied de Port, which was joined by one of the army of Arragon, under Gen. Paris, at the time the left of the Allied Army crossed the Bidassoa on the 7th Oct.; Gen. Foy's division joined those on the heights behind Anheue,when Lieut.gen. Sir Rowland Hill moved into the valley of Bastan. The Enemy, not satisfied with the natural strength of this position, had the whole of it fortified, and their right in particular had been made so strong, that I did not deem it expedient to attack it in front.-Pamplona having surrendered on the 31st Oct. and the right of the army having been disengaged from covering the blockade of that place, I moved Lieut.-gen. Sir R. Hill, on the 6th and 7th, into the valley of Bastan, as soon as the state of the roads after the recent rains would permit, intending to attack the Enemy on the 8th inst. ; but the rain which fell on the 7th iust. having again rendered the roads impracticable, I was obliged to defer the attack till the 10th, when we completely succeeded in carrying all the positions of the Enemy's left and centre, in separating the former from the latter, and by these means turning the Enemy's strong positions occupied by their right on the lower Nivelle, which they were obliged to evacuate during the night, having taken 51 pieces of cannon, and 1400 prisoners. The object of the attack being to force the Enemy's centre, and to establish our army in rear of their right, the attack was made in columns of divisions, each led by the general officer commanding it, and each forming its own reserve. Lieut.-gen. Sir R. Hill directed the movement of the right, consisting of the 2d division under Lieut.-gen. Sir W. Stewart, the 6th division under Lieut.-gen. Sir H. Clinton, a Portuguese division under Lieut.-gen. Sir John Hamilton, and a Spanish division under Gen. Morillo, and Col. Grant's brigade of cavalry, and a brigade of Portuguese artillery under Lieut. col. Tulloh, and three mountain guns, under Lieut. Robe, which attacked the positions of the Enemy behind Anhoue. -Marshal Sir W. Beresford directed the

movements of the right of the centre, consisting of the 3d division under Majorgen. Colville, the 7th division under Mariscal de Campo Le Cor, and the 4th division under Lieut.-gen. Sir Lowry Cole. The latter attacked the redoubts in front of Sarre, that village and their heights behind it, supported on their left by the army of reserve of Andalusia, under the command of the Mariscal de Campo Don Pedro Giron, which attacked the Enemy's positions on their right of Sarre, on the slopes of La Petite La Rhune, and the heights beyond the village, on the left of the 4th division. Major-gen. Baron Alten attacked with the light division and Gen. Longa's Spanish division, the Enemy's positions on La Petite La Rhune; and having carried them, co-operated with the right of the centre on the attack of the heights behind Sarre.-Gen. Alten's brigade of cavalry, under the direction of Lieut.-gen. Sir Stapleton Cotton, followed the movements of the centre, and there were three brigades of British artillery with this part of the army, and three mountain guns with Gen. Giron, and three with Major-gen. C. Alten. Lieut.-Gen. Don Manuel Freyre moved in two columns from the heights of Mandale towards Ascain, in order to take advantage of any movements the Enemy might make from the right of his position towards his centre; aud Lieut.-geu. Sir John Hope, with the left of the army, drove in the Enemy's outposts in front of their entrenchments on the lower Nivelle, carried the redoubt abové Orogne, and established himself on the heights immediately opposite Sibour, in readiness to take advantage of any movement made by the Enemy's right. The attack began at day-light, and Lieut.-geu. Sir Lowry Cole having obliged the Enemy to evacuate the redoubt on their right, in front of Sarre, by a cannonade, and that in front of the left of the village having been likewise evacuated on the approach of the 7th division under Gen, Le Cor to attack it, Lieut.-gen. Sir Lowry Cole attacked and possessed himself of the vil lage, which was turned on its left, by the 3d division under Major-gen. Colville, and on its right by the reserve of Anda. lusia under Don Pedro Giron, and Majorgen. Baron Alten carried the positions on La Petite La Rhune. The whole then cooperated in the attack of the Enemy's main position behind the village. The 3d and 7th divisions immediately carried the redoubts on the left of the Enemy's centre, and the light division those on the right, while the 4th division, with the reserve of Andalusia on the left, attacked their nositions in their centre. By these attacks, the Enemy were obliged to abandon their strong positions, which they had fortified

with much care and labour; and they left in the principal redoubt on the height, the 1st batt. 88th regt, which immediately surrendered. While these operations were going on in the centre, I had the pleasure of seeing the 6th division under Lieut. gen. Sir H. Clinton, after having crossed the Nivelle, and baving driven in the Enemy's piquets on both banks, and having covered the passage of the Portuguese division under Lieut.-gen. Sir John Hamilton on its right, make a most bandsome attack upon the right of the Enemy's position behind Anhoue, and on the right of the Nivelle, and carry all the intrenchments, and the redoubt on that flank.— Lieut.-gen. Sir John Hamilton supported with the Portuguese division, the 6th division on its right; and both co-operated in the attack of the 2d redoubt, which was carried.-Major-gen. Pringle's brigade of the 2d division, under Lieut.-gen. Sir W. Stewart, drove in the Enemy's piquets, on the Nivelle and in front of Anhoue, and then Major-gen. Byng's brigade of the 2d division carried the intrenchments, and a redoubt further on the Enemy's left, in which attack the Major-gen. and these troops distinguished themselves. Major-gen. Morillo covered the advance of the whole to the heights behind Anhone, by attacking the Enemy's posts on the slopes of Mondarin, and fol lowing them towards Itzatce. The troops on the heights behind Anhoue were, by these operations under the direction of Lieut..-gen. Sir R. Hill, forced to retiré towards the bridge of Cambo, on the Nive; with the exception of the divisions in Mondarin, which, by the march of a part of the 2d division under Lieut.-gen. Sir W. Stewart, were pushed into the mountains towards Baygory.-As soon as the heights were carried on both banks of the Nivelle, I directed the 3d and 7th divisions, being the right of our centre, to move by the left of that river upon St. Pe, and the 6th division by the right of that river upon the same place, while the 4th and light divisions, and Gen. Giron's reserve, held the heights above Ascain, and covered this movement on that side, and Lieut.-gen. Sir R. Hill covered it on the other. A part of the Enemy's troops had retired from their centre, and had crossed the Nivelle at St. Pe; and as soon as the 6th division approached, the 3d division under Major-gen. Colville, and the 7th division under Gen. Le Cor, crossed that river, and attacked and immediately gained possession of the heights beyond it.-We were thus established in the rear of the Enemy's right; but so much of the day was now spent, that it was impossible to make any further movement; and I was obliged to defer our further operations till the folGENT. MAG, January, 1814.96

lowing morning.-The Enemy evacuated Ascain in the afternoon, of which village Lieut.-gen. Don M. Freyre took „possession, and quitted all their works and positions in front of St. Jean de Luz during the night, and retired upon Bidart, destroying all the bridges upon the Lower Nivelle. Lieut.-gen. Sir J. Hope followed them with the left of the army, as soon as he could cross the river; and Marshal Sir W. Beresford moved the centre of the army as far as the state of the roads, after a violent fall of rain, would allow; and the Enemy retired again on the night of the 11th, into an entrenched camp in front of Bayonne.--In the course of the operations of which I have given your Lordship an outline, in which we have driven the Enemy from positions which they had been fortifying with great labour and care for three months, in which we have taken 51 pieces of cannon, 6 tum brils of ammunition, and 1400 prisoners, I have great satisfaction in reporting the good conduct of all the officers and troops. The report itself will shew how much reason I had to be satisfied with the conduct of Marshal Sir W. Beresford, and Lieut. gen. Sir R. Hill, who directed the attack of the centre and right; and with that of Lieut.-gens. Sir G. L. Cole, Sir W. Stewart, Sir J. Hamilton, and Sir H. Clinton; Major-gen. Colville, Baron Alten, Ma riscal de Campo P. Le Cor, and Mariscal de Campo Don P. Morillo, commanding divisions of infantry; and with that of Don Pedro Giron, commanding the re serve of Andalusia. [The Marquis of Wellington here calls his Lordship's at tention to the conduct of Major-gens. Byng and Lambert, who conducted the attacks of the 6th division; of the 51st and 68th regts. under the command of Major Rice and Lieut.-col. Hawkins, in Major-gen. Inglis's brigade, in the attack of the heights above St. Pe, on the afternoon of the 10th; of the 8th Portuguese brigade, in the 3d division, under Major gen. Power; and of Major-gen. Anson's brigade. He likewise acknowledges the great assistance received from Sir G. Murray, Sir E. Pakenham, Lord F. Somerset, Col. Dickson. Lieut. col. Campbell, the Prince of Orange, and all his Staff Officers.]-Our loss, although severe, is not so great as might have been expected, considering the strength of the positions attacked, and the length of time (from day-light till dark) during which the troops were engaged but I am concerned to add that Col. Barnard, of the 95th, has been severely, though I hope not dangerously, wounded; and that we have lost in Lieut.-col. Lloyd, of the 94th, an officer who had frequently distinguished himself, and was of great promise. I have, &c.
