Frankfort, June 26.

The Austrians entered Leipsic on the 22d, but made no stay there. We expect every moment to hear of a battle.

Prince Gagarin, who passed through here two days ago, is general aid-de-camp to his majesty the Emperor of Russia. He is going to the head-quarters of his majesty the Emperor of the French.

CASSEL, June 24.

The King arrived at Cassel with his guard, the regiment of Berg and the Dutch division. Gen. d'Albignac, with his division, has this day joined the Saxons who are on the Saale, at Weissenfels. The enemy is said to be at Leipsic: if so, general d'Albignac will attack them to-morrow, and it is probable the enemy will not remain there long.
