A Sub-Committee having been commissioned to examine the documental papers and other sources from which Mr. Ackermann’s Narrative of the most remarkable Events in and near Leipzig, &c. is compiled, as some insinuations have been thrown out that much of what is therein related is rather exaggerated, and Mr. Ackermann having furnished them with the said papers, they were found to consist of—­

1.  A Pamphlet, printed at Leipzig, entitled, “Leipzig, waehrend der Schreckenstage der Schlachten, im Monat October, 1813; als Beytrag zur Chronik dieser Stadt.” ("Leipzig, during the terrible Days of the Battles in the Month of October, 1813; being a Supplement to the History of this City.”)

2.  A printed Advertisement of a large Work, to be accompanied with Nine Plates, the Advertisement itself giving a brief but comprehensive account of the battle of Leipzig.

3.  A second Advertisement, giving a similar description of these battles in German and French.

4.  A Letter from Count Schoenfeld to Mr. Ackermann, describing the dreadful condition of the villages in the neighbourhood of Leipzig, especially of those over which the storm of the battle passed.

5.  An Official Paper, signed by some of the principal Bankers and Merchants at Leipzig, containing an appeal to the benevolence of the British Public, in behalf of the sufferers.

6.  An Official Attestation of the truth of the statement made in the said Appeal, signed by the acting Burgomaster of Leipzig, with the City Seal affixed.
