To this cavalry, ihat of General Co- the land's division, at the head of which were the A - 'he ' -'! s * Ney and Ormancey, was ir.ftantly of united. They advanced, qnd every where the Au du< drian cavalry,, although far superior in number, '"d yielded the ground. It was now that tKe firtt re- t' ,t; giment of Chzffears, commanded by the clii.-f of t! > e squadron, Richepanfe, came up with a part of Au 1 thnn opposite HenefF; anJ, having reached this 3,18 village, he oidered his troops to charge, and made ; °Pl a horrible carnage. This commander displayed On j te " the occa&on proofs of the utmoil cooluefa in the • midftof dangers, and of an intrepid boldness. In bre pursuing the cavalry, he fell on a post of infantry, , anc l when he Ynade his chafleurs halt, ordered a hedge- | fire to be kept up ; and, in chafing the enemy, con- Te trived also to overcQme the obllacle which was i es thrown in the way ot his pnrfiut. At length the j 8 e ® Auftrians, every where defeated, retreated with ] precipitation, and threw themselves into the ft* ' rar ] midable post ,of Alkareth. A forced march and P u ' four hours-fighting, would not admit of any far- P re |her pursuit, and more particularly as this post, cai impregnable in front, required great circuits to t ' le turn it in its flanks. Thus the infaniry of Gene ;we ral Lefebvre's advanced guard continued its march W towards the right bank of the Sieg, paded the an night in 'the pofl of Happenfehofs, and General are C»laud« division on the heights before Bafdorff.— j It unqtieftionably does not belong to me, to bellow Sa priifes on these Generals, my fellow labourers } but it would be difficult for me not to expref* the f.itisfaftion I felt at feeijig the zeal and aflivity of P n >jach of then, the unity of the operations with lor which they were chatged, and the ardour which prevailed -in their tefpe&ive columns, even in the co «>idft of a&ion.—The officers of the ftaff equally T"* distinguished themselves. They every where fur ln i nilhed an example t'o the troops. Citizen Viron, second to Adjutant-General Cayla, with' a very j"' final! force, made the whole post of Ohmar pri- ,n foners. F' " Citizen Bevalet, second to Adjutant General 00 Ney, by a charge purpofclv executed, protected "V the crofling of the Sieg, effe&ed by General Loitge an at Menden. His hat was (hot thiough in several places. Beurmann, my aid-de-campi received a Sabi£ wound on the wjift, but killed the soldier ' ei from whom he received it. Augulle Demas, a- . nother oPmy ?ids-de camp, had his horfo woundei.' "P 1 The light-artillery was managed in the usual way, withboldnefs and intelligence,; its ba'.teriei, con stantly well diredted, and served with the utmoil ce- z ' lerity, did a great deal of mifohief to the enemy.

Lefebvre pasTed the night on the right of the Sieg. Hoppenfchofs, and that commanded by Gen. Cotaud on the heights of HenefF. Thus, w with a view to attack the enemy in flank and rear, ti Gen. Lifebvre reueived orders to cross the Sieg a- si bore Blankenberg, and Gen. Colaud to proceed ti towards Jungrath, to reach from thence he high- c way by a ctofs march, leaving, however, a fevr bat tl taliohsat Wtyth, and a few pods of infrfniry and r cavalry blended along th» ravine to the heights of u that village. These extreme ly difficult, on account of the very bad (late of the a roads, were perfectly well executed.. At four in 2 1 the afternoon the columns were Rationed al{noft at the fame time by the right and left, on the heights f behind Alkareth ; and certahily, if the enemy had c deteimined to continue in their post, not one of a them would have escaped ; but, being apprized of c our movements by their hussars, they soon became t acquainted with our manoeuvres, and retreated to a Altenkirchen, contenting themfelvci with leaving, t on.the heights behind Alkareth, two orthtee fqua drons to protedt their retreat. The two divisions ) accordingly eftablifhcd themselves, three quart ters of a leagttefrcm Alkareth, in a very advanta- ' geous politioil. Since their departure from the 1 V/ipper, the troops have done nothiog but march t and tight. • 1 (Signed) " KLEBER.'' < 1 (18 I'ririal,) June 6.

LONDON, June 17. 11 y It was last night reported, (on what authority •' i, we do not learn, that the Austrian army having re- a! r, treated to the river Lahn, received there very con- p i- fiderable reinforcemenis, with which they, in their n si turn, attacked General Kleber, and succeeded in 1- completely routing hi* forces, having killed several ( t thouiand men, and taken 17 pieces of cannon. Our a id reader* will, of course, consider this merely as an " >f unattlhenticated rumour. ' t d »- The following is given, in the last Pari* papers t ie as the content* of a letter from Frankfort, of May t in 20thV at " The Austrian* have formed an inundation, of ti several leagues in extent, before Manheim. The j ( id caulew.ays which lead from Spites, Deux-Po nts, e jf and Worms, are the only ones which are not cover- l of ed with water : it is difficult to conceive any thing ie more stupid ; for, in cafe of a retreat, there will be f to a dreadful confufion, a complete difoade: ; the men I g, mud throw down their arms, or be drowned, a " We must believe that the Austrian Gtnerals £ ns a*e not very strongly persuaded that they will fuc ir- ceed, since the whole baggage of the army hns a- been sent to the rear.
