DISPATCHES, of which the following are copies, were this day received by Viscount Castlereagh, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from Lieutenant-General the Honourable Sir Charles Stewart, K. B. His Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Prussia, dated Head-Quaaters, Wurzen, May 20, 1813.-My Lord, I have just received the official account of the operations of the Allied Armies since the 2d instant, from General Kniesback, and I enclose a translation of it for your Lordship's information. I have the honor to be, &c. CHARLES STEWART, Lieut.-Gen. Bulletin. (Translation.) Head-Quarters, Wurzen, neur Bautzen, May 19, 1813.-Since the battle of the 2d of May, the Allied Army has had no engagement of consequence with the enemy. Some small affairs have taken place, which have constantly proved the good conduct of the troops. The following is a short account of the operations since the 2d of May. In order to weaken the enemy's line of operation by drawing him from his supplies, and to retire upon our own, the General commanding the Allied Army proposed to take up a position in Upper Lusatia. The enemy did not interrupt this operation, but slowly followed the army. However, a brisk cannonade of a Prussian corps took place between Colditz and Waldheim, but they retired in the greatest order. In this affair Lieutenant-Colonel and Brigadier Von Steinmetz distinguished himself with his brigade; and the Prussian General St. Priest, with great judgment and decision, attacked the enemy in flank, by which the affair was decided; the enemy lost 400 men killed and wounded. Our loss in this action was two officers, and 150 men. We have to regret the loss of Major Kall, a most distinguished officer. On the 6th and 7th the enemy crossed the Elbe at Dresden and Meissen. Several small detachments of partizans returned to the left bank of the river to annoy the enemy's rear. One of these detachments, under Lieut. Zilmer, of the Brandenburg bussars, took an officer charged with dispatches of consequence, and 20 horses, near Zwekaw, and safely rejoined the army on the 10th. About this time it was ascertained that the King of Saxony had declared for the enemy, and had given up Torgau to the French troops. This intelligence determined the Allies to evacuate the middle Elbe, and to concentrate the army at Bautzen. The army has been in this position seven days, very quiet, and daily increasing in numbers, and a battle is shortly expected to take place. Our detached corps continue successfully to annoy the enemy. On the 14th General Jelowaiski surprised a post at Konigsbruck, and took the whole detachment prisoners, consisting of eight officers, and 173 men. On the 12th and 15th the corps of General Miloradovitch had affairs, in which the enemy lost 1000 men killed, and 1500 wounded, and six officers and 300 men were made prisoners. On the 18th General Jelowaiski made prisoners a troop of lancers of the Dutch guard, and in the afternoon, General Miloradovitch made a reconnoissance, in which the enemy lost 100 killed, and 130 prisoners; deserters come in daily from the enemy, and he suffers considerably by cur skirmishes. Head-Quarters, Wurzen, May 20, 1813.-MY LORD, The enemy detached on the evening of the 17th and 18th in the direction of Lückau and Lübben, on our right; the force was stated to be Regnier's corps. Intelligence being received that General Lauriston, with 9000 men, would march to reinforce the troops above-mentioned on the 19th, General Barclay de Tolly and General D'Yorck, with a strong corps, were sent to intercept and fall upon General Lauriston. General Barclay de Tolly fell in with the enemy in the neighbourhood of Konigswerde, and a sharp contest ensued, 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 prisoners, a General of Division, and 11 pieces of cannon. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was considerable. The cavalry were in pursuit when the accounts came away. The loss on our side has not yet been ascertained, nor am I in possession of the details of this affair. General D'Yorck was engaged more on the right, and encountered a strong force; the support of Lauriston's corps, supposed to be Marshal Ney's. He was engaged till 11 o'clock at night, against very superior numbers, with success. Both the allied corps returned into the position this morning. Six o'clock, p. m.-I am enabled, being just returned from General Miloradovitch's advanced-guard, to report to your Lordship, that a very severe attack has been made to-day by the enemy, to possess themselves of the town of Bautzen. They attempted a false attack on our left, but the real one was on General Miloradovitch's right. General Kleist's corps was moved up to his support, and the attack was sustained by Generals Miloradovitch and Kleist, with the utmost gallantry. I witnessed two very gallant charges of Russian light cavalry, as well as extreme good conduct throughout the troops engaged. General Miloradovitch will be drawn to-night into the position. It would seem from what has occurred this day, that the enemy intend a great effort here. (Signed) CHARLES STEWART, Lieut.-Gen. Viscount Castlereagh. Head-Quarters, Goldberg, Silesia, May 24, 1813.-My Lord, I hastily detailed to your Lordship, in my last dispatch, the military movements on the 20th, and the attack on Bautzen by the enemy. The intention of the enemy, in his attack on the right and left of Bautzen on' the 20th, was to force the Spree River, and to pass to some heights on our right, thus threatening General Miloradovitch's rear, and gaining advantageous ground, from which his artillery could sweep our main position, and, under cover of whose fire, he might, with greater facility, make his disposition for the general attack on the following morning. The action was bravely contested; a Russian battalion and some Prussian lancers, under cover of a battery, holdly advanced and contested alone the heights, in spite of the enemy's powerful efforts, until they were supported by General Kleist's corps. In the mean time, on the extreme right, the enemy's corps followed Generals Barclay de Tolly and D'Yorck, in their retrograde movement from their expedition against General Lauriston. General D'Yorck's corps entered the position in the evening, but the whole of Barclay de Tolly's did not effect it till the following morning. General Miloradovitch repulsed the repeated efforts of the enemy that were vigorously made to force him on the left, and the columns of the enemy, that had attempted to pass into the mountains, were kept in check. Finding, however, late in the evening, that Gen. Kleist had fallen back into the main position, Gen. Miloradowitch withdrew entirely from the Spree river, and the town of Bautzen, and in the night occupied the ground marked out for him in the general line. The severe affairs of this day, reflect the highest honour on Generals Miloradovitch and Kleist, and the brave troops under their command. I have the honour be, &c. (Signed) CHARLES STEWART, Lieut.-Gen. Viscount Castlereagh, &c. &c. &c. Goldberg, May 24, 1813.-My Lord, The Allied Army under the orders of Count Wittgenstein, in position, in advance of Wurschen and Hochkirch, was attacked by the enemy at day-break, commanded by Buonaparte in person, on the morning of the 21st instant. It appears he had assembled all his forces for this effort, and had not detached largely, as had been supposed, to other quarters. The ground selected by the Allies to resist the enemy's approach, on the great roads to Silesia and the Oder, was bounded on the left by a range of mountains which separates Lusatia from Bohemia, through which Marshal Daun marched to the battle and victory of Hochkirch. Some strong commanding heights, on which batteries had been constructed, near the village of Jackowitz, (and separated from the chain of mountains by streams and marshy ground) formed the appui to the left flank of the position. Beyond, and in front of it, many batteries were pushed forward, defended by infantry and cavalry on a ridge that projected into the low ground near the Spree river. It then extended to the right, through villages which were strongly entrenched, across the great roads leading from Bautzen to Hochkirch, and Görlitz; from thence in front of the village of Bourthewitz to three or four very commanding hills, which rise abruptly in a conical shape, and form strong features; these with the high ground of Kreckwitz were strengthened by batteries, and were considered the right point of the line. The ground in the centre was favourable for cavalry, except in some marshy and uneven parts, where it would impede its operations. Flêches were constructed, and entrenchments thrown up at 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. General Barclay de Tolly's corps was stationed here, and should be considered more as a manœuvring corps, placed to guard against the enemy's attempts on the right and rear of the allies, than as immediately in position; the extent of the whole line might be between three and four English miles. The different corps occupying it were as follows: General Kleist's and General D'Yorck's corps in echellon and in reserve on the right: General Blucher's, Count Wittgenstein's, and General Miloradovitch's formed on the left; and the guards and grenadiers, and all the Russian cavalry, were stationed in reserve in the centre. The enemy evinced, early in the action, a determination to press the flanks of the Allies; he had thrown a very strong corps into the mountains on our left, which favoured his species of warfare; but General Miloradovitch was prepared here, having detached Prince Garchikoff and Count Asterman with ten battalions of light troops, and a large corps of Cossacks, with their artillery, under Col. Davidoff, to occupy these hills. (Concluded in the Supplement.) DEATHS. On the 10th of June, on his passage from Lisbon (where he had been for the recovery of his health) in his 39th year, Wm. M. Harvey, Esq. Lieut.-Colonel of the 79th Regt. and Brigadier-General in the Portuguese army. On the 20th of May, at Barrios, in Spain, Major Edmund Darley, of the 39th Regiment. On the 21st of July, at Richmond Green, Mrs. Robson, widow of Colonel Robson, late Governor of St. Helena.

On the 26th of July, at his seat Doddington Hall, Cheshire, in his 66th year, the Rev. Sir Thomas Broughton, Bart.: he is succeeded in his title and estates, by his eldest son Lieut.-Gen. now Sir John Delves Broughton. On the 22d of July, at Tunbridge Wells, Miss Ann Tinling, daughter of Colonel Tinling, of the 1st Foot Guards.

June 6, at the midnight attack upon the American camp at Stoney-Creek, near Burlington heights, Canada, Lieut. Hooker, of the 8th or King's regiment, while advancing with a company, of which he had the command, to the attack. He was the eldest and only surviving son of Mr. S. Hooker, of Chesnut, (late of Hertford) and had recently been promoted to the rank of Captain (Gazetted the 27th of June last). After nearly ten years' service in different parts of the globe, it is a consolation for his friends to know he was beloved, esteemed, and respected, not only by his brother officers of all ranks, with whom he was acquainted, but universally so, and had the character of a most excellent young man. He honourably fell, nobly fighting for his country, at the age of 32, by a shot through his head, and instantaneously expired. MARRIAGES. On the 5th of July, at Bath, D.
