storm, with such rapidity and vehemence that their rout became inevitable.  It ended in the complete breaking up of the army—­horse and foot all flying together, in the confusion of panic, upon the road to Weimar.  At that point the fugitives met and mingled with their brethren flying, as confusedly as themselves, from Auerstadt.  In the course of this disastrous day 20,000 Prussians were killed or taken; 300 guns, twenty generals, and sixty standards.  The Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Brunswick, being wounded in the face with a grape-shot, was carried early off the field, never to recover.  The loss of superior officers on the Prussian side was so great, that of an army which, on the evening of the 13th of October, mustered not less than 150,000, but a few regiments were ever able to act in concert for some time after the 14th.  The various routed divisions roamed about the country, seeking separately the means of escape:  they were in consequence destined to fall an easy prey.  Mollendorf and the Prince of Orange-Fulda laid down their arms at Erfurt.  General Kalkreuth’s corps was overtaken and surrounded among the Hartz Mountains:  Prince Eugene of Wirtemberg, and 16,000 men, surrendered to Bernadotte at Halle.  The Prince of Hohenlohe at length drew together not less than 50,000 of these wandering soldiers, and threw himself, at their head, into Magdeburg.  But it turned out that that great fortress had been stripped of all its stores for the service of the Duke of Brunswick’s army before Jena.  Hohenlohe, therefore, was compelled to retreat towards the Oder.  He was defeated in a variety of skirmishes; and at length, finding himself devoid of ammunition or provisions, laid down his arms at Prenzlow; 20,000 surrendered with the Prince.  His rear, consisting of about 10,000, under the command of the celebrated General Blucher, were so far behind as to render it possible for them to attempt escape.  Their heroic leader traversed the country with them for some time unbroken, and sustained a variety of assaults, from far superior numbers, with the most obstinate resolution.  By degrees, however, the French, under Soult, hemmed him in on one side, Murat on the other, and Bernadotte appeared close behind him.  He was thus forced to throw himself into Lubeck, where a severe action was fought in the streets of the town, on the 6th of November.  The Prussian, in this battle, lost 4000 prisoners, besides the slain and wounded:  he retreated to Schwerta, and there, it being impossible for him to go farther without violating the neutrality of Denmark, on the morning of the 7th, Blucher at length laid down his arms—­having exhibited a specimen of conduct and valour such as certainly had not been displayed by any of his superiors in the campaign.
