" 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 ed by his modeiiy, and the excellent qualities of his heart.

" 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 fort.

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.
