sides claimed the victory , and this might the mare easily he done , as the battle * ended only in the night ; but the n <* xt days witnessed the retreat of the confederates , and the advance of the French .
Another dreadful battle of the same kind is to be expected . The fate of Prussia is in suspence " , but it cannot remain long undecided . A general spirit of revoR is said to have taken hold of the minds of the Germans , but as yet it seems to have been confined to the
