Reden and. his huSsars, and by the ist battalion 95th regiment^ and afterwards by the whole of the infantry o f myr corps. Upon crossing the rivulet, we found Geh. Linsengen’s corps upon our right flank, and the whole joined in pursuit of the enemy. Major-General Oxholm, the second in com­ mand, who had joined the army with four bat­ talions last night from the Southern Island, at­ tempted to stand in the village of Herfolge, hut he was attacked briskly by the hussars, with de- tachments of which'were Captain Blaquiere and Capt. Cotton of the Staff, and by a Small deW. tachment of the 1st of the 95th; and he was compelled to surrender with Count Wedet Jarls- burg, several other Officers, and 400 men. - The loss of the enemy has’ been very great, many have fallen, and there are nearly 60 Of-* fleers, and 1100 men prisoners. In their flight1 they have thrown away their arms and cloathing,- and many stands of the former hav^ fallen into our hands. I believe that we have taken ten pieces of cannon; but I have not yet recerveif all the reports from the detachments employed* . in the pursuit of the enemy. 1 have1not seen' . Genetal Linsengen , as he is still out with h is'. hussars , but I understand' that the enemy had destroyed the bridges at Little Salby, which was' - the cause of the delay of his operations upon^ their flank.
