ftbvte and Bnr.nard di.l not fall in with the enemy ;
hut the advanced guard of general Colaud's divifi

in ihe plains in front of BtitzSack, general Ney'g
detachment, _ Rationed in the vicinity of Oberrr,eil,
Mauiheim and the Wetter, with the whoje of his
cavalry, in front of Nidermeil.
" General Kleber, at the commencement, confr '
defed this battle only as a ficirmifh between the ad
vanced guards; but the engagement presently af
firmed a ftrioug and most portentous afpedt. Ad J 1
jutant-general Ney, much inferior to the enemy in '
cavalry, advanced, and supported by the demi- i
biigadc of light infantry, gained in an instant the
fu'mmit of the firil height, General Kleber, re- '
juiced at thefuccefs of this effort, and observing '
every c< lumn stationed where they had been direst- i
ed, ordered general Ney to avail himfelf of his-po- '
fit ion. and eltabli(h bis ports ; but on receiving in
formation that the enemy were in motion, and in- ]
• dicated a dilpofition to make an attack, he diredted '
general Colaud, who was encamped in the rear of '
Butzbach, to take a position in front of Oberweifel ]
for the purpose of supporting his advanced guard.
" While these arrrangements were making, feve- 1
ral charges of cavalry were effedtad, in which the
11th regiment of dragoons, and the 6ih regiment
i of chasseurs dirtmgtiifhed thcmfelves. The ifirft of
these corps having made a feint to retreat, contriv
ed to lead the enemy'a cavalry into an smbufcade
of infantry, who discharged a volley of small Ihot
cafe (hot. Hie carnage was dreadful.
" The viilage r of Obermeil, of which our troops
had previously taken poffefiißn, was funounded and
attacked by the enemy with the utmost vigour ■ —
Adjutant-general Ney chatged them with the great
est impetuosity, and repulsed them. The enemy
rallied, returned to the charge, and took the post,
after being four times repulsed ; tjut adjutant-gene
ral Ney having rallied his troops, attacked, in his
turn,and eventually iucceedej in taking the village,
jj »Thi» obstinate and sanguinary conflidt, terminated
at g o'clock in the evening,
«' The detachment under the command of gene
ral Grenier, which had filed oft by Weilburg, did
not fall in Tvith the enemy. The detachment under
general Championet, which had filed off by Lim
burg, met the enemy at Oberfeltera. General
Championet attacked, and the enemy retreated to
Camberg, where, on their arrival, they covered the
plains with their numerous cavalry, And planted
(their infantry in ambuscade, in the wood of Wir
ges. General Championet, at the head of his in
fantry, gained poffeflion ot she heights on the light
aid left of Camberg, and general Klein, at the
head of the :zth dragoons and the 12th chasseurs,
charged the enemy's cavalry with fueh impetuosity,
that- they were totally routed with dreadful (laugh
ter.
" The battle was long and terrible. The enemy
left the field of battle covered with dead bodies.
>Thirty-five waggon loads of their wounded have
been collected, and £0 prifoner3 taken, among
whom is an officer of diftin&ion, and ijo borfes.
I " Alter this.-dtteat« the enemy , hrrmtrht frefh
tioops into the field, apparently to t'ake their r.e
ve ;ge ; but a brigade of cavalry of reserve, having
come up to fup'port the 12th dragoons and I 2th
chasseurs, and several cannon being discharged
while their operations were suspended, induced them
to prefer a retreat. The conduit of the republican
troths,* in this battle, merits highelf eulo
. giums, and entitles them to the gratitude of their
country. General Klein distinguished himfelf in an j
eminent degree, by his courage ant) military talents.
" On the 22d; general Kleber Was informed that
the enemy had taken poll at Friedberg. He sent
orders to general: Lefebvre, who was on the left
t>awk of the Wetter, to push advanced guard to
ward Bauei nlierm and Offenheim, to follow with
his own diviiion, and to attack the enemy, but not
to attack thtm until he was informed of the arrival
of general Lefebvre. But the enemy having, in
fadt perceived tbi = manoeuvre, retreated wiih pre
cipitation, but afterwards rallied, and drew up in
order between Allenfaueibach and Rofback. They
made prodigious efforts to hinder the division of ge
neral L.efebvre to pass by Offenheim and Fouer
back ; but, in faite of their reliftance, that divi
. heights and maintained their posi
tion.
" I he advanced guard of the division under ge
neral Colaud,. commanded by adjutant-general NcyV
advanced in pursuit of the enemy as far as Ockftadt.
General Jacobin, at the head of the 43d half bri- 1
gade of infantry and the nth regiment of dra
goons, marched against Freidburg. The gates of
rfiat cit-y were forced open, in despite of a bride
fire of mufquetry and artillery ; and this column,
encouraged by its general, the adjutant-general La»
eroix, and citizen FrideKheim, aid de-camp to ge
neral Colaud; entered the town, drove the enemy
from thence, after havsng killed upwards of 200
men: a 13 pounder, and a standard, N after having
been taken and retaken several times,remained with
our troops.
" T lie division of general Colaud and general
Boqnard having arrived, the enemj found them
selves preffrd on both flanks, and were,compelled
to letreat. General Richepaufe and adjutant-gene
. nil Ney, purfned them until night. Beside the
piere of artillery taken at Friedberg, 2 others were
taken on the plain before that town. The loss of
enemy, in, the affairs of, the 2lft and 22d, may be
cilirßated at 2000 men, of whom 500, including 8
I <fr"ei's, have been made prifoneis.
" We have loft the citizen Rouilly, aid de camp
to general a:i officer of the greatest me
rit, and whale zeal and valour could only be exceed

heart.

with the Ms of some men killej and
twenty prisoners, of whom o.ie wnf a captain.
" On the 23d, the army halted to wait fftr pro
vitmns, but in the mean time general Championnet
inverted the fort of Konigjlein.
" On the 24tk, the army was again on its march.
1 h» wing passed the mountains and advanced
to the plain of the Mein. The left wiVg after ha
ving passed the Nidda, took a pofitionbefore Frank

" On the 25th, the magistrates of Frankfort ,
were summoned to open the gates of that city.
Thq Aurtrians who were then 111 garrison, opposed 1
it, so that the day was passed is deputations from
the magistrates to us and to the Auiirian generals.
But as the enemy seemed difpoftd to pecupy the
place, our artillery began to fire at ten o'clock at
night. In a fh'jrt time one quarter of the town j
was on fire—-Then the Aui'tians began to offer ,
propositions, and a capitulation v.-as signed, of which
I fend a copy. On the following morning we en

to pass by the advanced guard of the French troops,
