ber withdrew their artillery from the bat
teries, and returned to their camp, deter
mined to take the town by famine only.
The French are dated not only to have
received reinforcements on the river Saar,
but they have even made movements a
gainst the cordon of Prussian troops, the
latter were obliged to retreat to Pirmafents
—This is said to render the pbfition of
the Auftrians very precarious in exposing
their right. Reports even went so far as
to assert, that the Prussians hid been ob
liged to evacuate the post of Pirmafents,
but which is not confirmed as yet.

greeablenature.
Gen. O'Hara had arrived there from
Gibraltar, with a reinforcement of troops

on the frontiers, poffefied themselves of

By intelligence received from the Earl
of Yarmouth, dated Brumbt, Austrian
head-quarters, October 24, it appears,
that on the morning of the 27, General
Wurmfer, having received information
that Hagenau had surrendered to the ad
vanced corps, under Gen. Mageroes, he
immediately put the bulk of his army into
motion, and arrived there that night, a
few hours before it had been eyacuatcd by
the enemy, who had made so precipitate
a retreat, as to neglect breaking down
the wooden bridges over which the artille
ry was to pass. That, on tbe 18th, the
French encamped on the right fide o.
Zorn, a small river that runs through
Brumbt—but on perceiving some interval
between Gen. Mageroes advanced corps,
confining of about 6000 men, and the o
ther columns of the army, they crofted the
river, and attacked him with their whole
force, in the evident expectation of turn
ing his flank, and cutting him off from
the reft of the army. The a£tion laded 7
hours—but upon perceiving the reft, of the
Austrian army move forward, the French
re-crofled the river, and evacuated the
heights and town of Brumbt, of which
the Auftrians took pofleflion. The loss
on the part of the French, is estimated to
be about 800 men, and that of the Auftri
ans nearly half that number killed and
wounded. That the prince of Waldeck
had advanced with his corps from Sohk,
and marched along the banks of the Rhine
—That he had compelled the surrender of
Drugenheim, and after having driven the

tbe night, the French had abandoned their
position on the Zorn, retreated under the
cannon of Stralburgh. That Gep. Wurm
fer was at the diflance of nine English
! miVs from that place.

eight hundred men killed and wounded,
and that the loss of the French coufifted
of between 3 of 4000 killed ; from 5 to
6000 pnfoners, and 26 pieces of cannui:,
