The Prussians, whom the king, contrary to the advice of his officers, had ordered to encamp in an exposed position on an open plain, were attacked before it was light, and under cover of a thick fog, and in the confusion and darkness suffered a terrible defeat, losing all their camp equipage and bag- gage. When day broke Frederick found him- self nearly surrounded by the Austrians, and ordered a retreat. His loss was 9,000 men, in- cluding several of his best generals, and more than 100 guns. On May 21, 1813, the allies were defeated here by the French under Mar- monj; and Macdonald.

It was taken six times during that war ; and the old castle, where the archbishops of Mentz used to reside occasion- ally, was then converted into a ruin.

Capital, Logan. HOCKING, or Hoekboeking, a river of Ohio, rising in Fairfield co., near the centre of the state. It flows S. E. through a picturesque hilly country, and after a course of about 80 m. joins the Ohio at the S. E. extremity of Ath- ens co. About 7 m. from Lancaster in Fair- field co. it has a perpendicular fall of 40 feet. It is deep enough for boat navigation for a dis- tance of nearly 70 m., but is obstructed by falls and dams. The Hocking canal passes along its banks, and connects with the Ohio canal. HODEIDA, or El-IIudaidah, a seaport of Ara- bia, in Yemen, situated on the lied sea, about 100 m. N. N. W. of Mocha. It is a well built town, having a number of mosques and a good market. Its harbor, which is shallow, is shel- tered on the north, but exposed to the S. wind. It is frequently visited by the pilgrim ships from India, which, unable to beat up against the wind, transfer their passengers here to the lighter native vessels, five or six of which, of from 30 to 250 tons each, are built here an- nually of Malabar teak. A large part of the coffee raised in the district N. of Sana, which was formerly shipped from Mocha, is now sent to Hodeida for exportation. Hodeida is now the seat of the Turkish government of Yemen and of a pashalic under Jiddah, and a consid- erable garrison is stationed there. HODGE. I.
