Fragmentary letters and dispatches describe a grim mood as Allied forces press toward Dresden while Buonaparte’s position weakens. Reports hint at rearguard actions, strategic withdrawals, and mounting casualties as campaigns shift across Saxony and Lusatia.
The narrative details a wounded officer carried to safety at Dippoldeswaltes, then dying at six yesterday morning after a long conference with Allied Generals. A Lisbon report adds an America-bound paper describing a Chesapeake action with 15 gunboats against the frigate Janon, heavy casualties, and Commodore Cungscey sailing new ships to meet Sir James Yeo. Additional items note American army concentrations, peace talks at St Petersburgh, and British forces moving to the Lakes under high command, with political maneuvers over Mr Gannaris’s appointment and a vote in the Lower House.
Mixed dispatch notes report naval movements including British frigate and American ship Eric with Mrs. GARLew, plus Danish actions and French troop setbacks. Also details on lottery draw with two £20,000 prizes, wheat and price changes, market prices for beans barley and oats, cattle at Smithfield, and tickets for a state lottery at Rayal Exchange.
