    The Redafteur of the 25th has the following
article fr«tri the Editor.
" N. B. The French. 'Journals of Paris, # who
are disfigured every day by publilhing the ridiculous
relations of the French Journals of Frankfdrt,
which are at the devotion of the Efnigrants,, have
announced as inconceivable defeat of the army of
Italy, in an attempt to pass the Addige. What is
mod remarkable in this news, is its absolute falfe
hood. On the 3d -of June General Buonaparte
announced from Verona, that he was pofffcffed of
all the bridges of the Addige ; his advanced guards
were ten leagues from theftee.' No battle had ta
ken pface on the 20th. The republican army ha<l
advanced almost without a blow far on the other
fide of that river. " Thuan."
/ , . J u, y 2
/ We yesterday received by express Par« journals,
/to the 30th ult. inclusive. By these we leatn that
J "the FreHeh unexpectedly croffedthe Rhine at Straf
/ burgh on ths 23d ult. with a very considerable
I force, and taking the Auftrians by surprise made
themselves matters of the Itrong fort'of Kehl, and
j after making from 6 to 700 prisoners, extended
; their deftruitive into the neighbouring
\ eountty.
'l'he Hambutgh mail due yesterday arrived in
tdwn this morning and brought an aecount of fotne
farther advantages gained by the victorious Auitri
ans over the flying French.
Different Recounts from Frankfort of the jft
mention a second action to have been fought at
Okeroth on the 20th, in which the French were
defeated with the'lofs of 1800 men left dead on
the field, 700 prisoners and several pieces of cannon.
These accounts farther state, that the column of
French retiring from Neuwied is cut off, and must
either surrender or be drowrfed in the Rhine. But
it appears from General Jourdan's letter to the Di
feftory, that they have cffefted their passage over
that river.
The French are retreating with precipitation to
Duffcldorf, and the Auftrians are purfufng them
tt-ithei wit h equal The former are said
tc have loft no kfs than 40 pietcs of artillery in
their retreat.
■ The extraordinary Gazette, published last night,
confirms the account in yesterday's Courier of the
actions that took place on the 15th and 16th, on
the right fide of the Rhine, between part of Ge
neral Jourdan's army and the Archduke Charles.
After the battle on the 16th, General Kleber reti
red firft to Ahenkirchen, and afterwards took.pos
session of the heights of Kirpen near Ahenkirchen.
111 that position he was attacked, on the 19th, by
the Austrian General Kray. After a very obfti
natf a£Ho», the Auftrians (the Gazette Extraordi
nary states) drove the French from the heights, but
did not venture to pursue them.
The loss of the Auftrians is stated at between $
and 600 men. The loss of the French at above
JCo taken.prisoners and several hundred killed, be
sides, " according to all report*,'' a great number
wounded. ,
On the night of the 19th, General Kleber cros
sed the Sieg, and dire&ed his march towards Duf
feldorff. At Duffeldorff he will be reinforced by I
t*ie army tin, 'Muak'Uufei —gttifrCg JSoiiaon^

e MANHEIM, June i 5.
'» The attack of yesterday lasted untils o'clock in
e the evening. It appears to have been very serious ;
the cacncm and the mufquetry, the sabre and the
bayonet were all employed, and the cavalry were
'' waimly engaged. The French took, loft, and re
*' took a redoubt upon the Rheeback ; they must
0 haveloft many men, for the soldiers were obliged
to pass the water with their guns over their heads,
1 and under the fire of the Auftrians. The attack
extended to the whole Hoe from Rhein, Gerheim,
and Lipffein, opposite Oggerftleim. The French
inthe morning dislodged the Auftrians from Franc
, kenthai, but in the afternoon the poll was retaken'
'][ from them.
1- This morning every thing is quiet ; the Auftri
ans have concentred their position behind Mandach
to the old redoubt df the Rhine. The French have
it in contemplation to employ the Imperialists in
fuchca manner here as to prevent their detaching
troops to the Lahn.
June 16.
Last night a variety of flcirmiflies took place a

which the Auftrians werefuccefsful.
