the second line under the walls of Bamberg.
" The three divisions of the right, under the
Ordertof Generals Grenier, Championnet, and licr
nadotte, marched to the right, and took post behind
the river Rauh Eberach, (heir left being iupponed
by Rednitz, and their right by Schlunenfeld. The
enemy had ihr«wn some battalions and squadrons
into the villages near the mouth of the Rauh Ebe
rach.
" General Grenier, wishing to chafe them from i
thencc, and to take their position, gave orders for
that purpose to Olivier, general of brigade, who ( af
ter an obstinate battle of more than three
succeeded in routing the enemy, and pursued them
as far as the wood of Cent Bukhoven.—The tjeops
under the orders of this General fought with the
greatest courage. v
" The enem-f took a position on the right a
of the Rednitz, between Ebermanftadt and For- 1
cheim ; and on the left, between Forcheim and
Hockftet. To-morrow we fliall attack them at all
points, and the success we obtained yeftcrday is to

" By my letter of yesterday, I had the honour f<
to inform you, that my plan was to attack the ene- ti
my on the two banks of the Rednitz, between E- P
bermunftadt and Hockftet. For this purpose the p
division of General Lefebvre advanced towards bi
Wifent, and driving every thing before him on the rc
right bank, took post before FrugendorfF ; but the C
enemy occupying this post of Ebermanftadt, with ci
900 cavalry, 1200 infantry, and some pieees of ar- S
tilkry. Lefebvre sent adjutant general Mortier, fe
with orte battalion, four squadrons, and two field B
pieces tw attack them. -'«r> :ri
" This he executed with so much alertness, that gi
after an engagement of an hour the enemy was tf
compelled to relinquish the post. The General, ri
finding himfelf thus raaftev of the two banks of fe
the river, was enabled on the fame day to fend for
ward his patroleseven to the rear of the enemy. ft;
" The division under the orders of general Co- ju
hud received orders to quit his position at Bam- d<
berg and to march towards Forcheim and to drive tti
before him or destroy whatever force he may find dr
on the plain, or covering that place.
" The enemy was still mi force on the plain aiid re
on the surrounding heights, and general Wartenfle- Si
ben commanded there in person. th
" The advanced guard of general Colaud, com
manded by adjutant-general Ney, was recei«ed by a ki
discharge of 14 pieces of cannon. He had but ga
tw» to oppose to them, yet he did not lose his firm- mi
■ess, but combining stratagem with valor, Jie fuc- go
ceeded after a few charges, in routing the enemy
from their firfl position. Gen. Colaud brought up
some reinforcements to this officer, by which lie was irn
enabled to force the Auftrians to enter iisto Forch- 1 '
beim, and to advance his ports as far as the river.

place to open fiis gates to the republican troops, as fra
soon as they arrived within cannon Slot. Adjutant m<
Ney was sent with the fummoas, who availing him- »
fcli of the confternadon which the sudden retreat
®f the Auftrians had excited, demanded instantly a
parley. The commander exprefied his willingness
to surrender as soon as the Auftrians were so far re
moved as not to occasion any diftmbance. The
French officer insisted, and the commander agreed
to fiirrender. We found in this place 20 pieces of
cannon, and a great quantity of arms and ammuni
tion.
"division of gen. Grenier qditted his camp

ed, and the enemy look to flight, after having fut
fercd a considerable loss.
" Gen. Kray who commanded this division of
. eir ® rm y> fixed all his attention on the attack and
direction of this column, because here the fire of
thp muflvetry and artillery was mod violent. But j
while he his manoeuvre, thecolun-.n J
oiider gen. Berdanotte advanced against Hochftet,
but without attacking it, that he may give time to
the division of cavalry under gen. Bofincau, (who
had received prders to pass the river, and to turn r
the left flank of the enemy) to begin their opera- r
tiwng. r J
S
" All this was executed with the greatest intel- \
ligence and precision, and the enemy's general, who J
c.J not expect this manoeuvre, immediately became
undecided in all his movements. Of this itidecifion A
the generals Bernadotte, Bonneau, and Championet *
knew how to profit, and he was forced, 'after re- v
peated charges of cavalry and infantry, to effect I,
hu retreat. He however proteded it by a heavy J,
fire u artillery, which was arfwered by ours with J<
its accuflomed efficacy, and succeeded to throw the J ;
Auftrians into th« greatest disorder. G
U c van guard of the 3 divisions instantly pur- A
, and without giving them time to rally, 1
compelled them to pass the Rednitz, from which "lev
they withdrew the bridges. General Klein took on t
his position on the bank of this river.
I he enemy according to the report of 111 the
general officers, had the greater body of cavaliy
but ?)1 our corps combated with To much ' valour, T
the generals and commanders of divisions direded into
and executed their manoeuvres with so much wif- culo
rom, 1 hat all obftaeles were overcome, and nothing- wcei
couid refill them. fcng l
" THe enemy's loss was very grest both in in- T'
tantvy and cavalry, and we took a hundred pruW
11 in ers, fijthr of which were mounted, aad one ofHeer.
The advanced posts of the different div;fions were
the extended beyond the river-Aich, the patroles

lind cording to the reports I have received, the enemy
