" Head-Quarters of the right wing of ths army of the Rlvne 4«d Mofeile, at Memmingen, 27 Thermidor, Au gust 14, 4th year. t " We yesterday gave a drubbing to the army of tV prince of Conde. They attacked us at two ..'clock in the morning; our advanced guard was inrptifed, but the whole van, under the command -i/f Abbatucci, was soon under aims. Our light r: illery was so well dirciled, that 500 Condeans i-mnined dead on the field. «• I saw them yesterday— It was a (hocking fight, '['he whole field of battle strewed with dead men— mil of them having belonged ta the Noble Chaf •ir«. to the Chevaliers de la Couronne, and the Legion of Mirabeau. A general officer, the ci-de miirqin's de Qmilet, died of hia wounds at \ :i' : c!heim ; the duke d'Enghien had his horse k;!>'J ; almost all our volnntegrs took croflesofthe . r1 Vr of St. Louis; and if matters go on in the ii' - manner, we (hall have as many knights of that ixr aniong ourown soldiers, as there are among tie emigrants. Theatmy of Coade abandoned to !i,- the field of battle, ai d retreated behind Mindel- 1 ! rim, on the road to Aagfburgh, where I hope we (ball soon arrive. " Our loss is considerably inferior to that of the 1 enemy. It was the artillery which made the havoc, ] and they hardly had any. " S.

It was to have been tjie central point of a movement ' which had been for fc)me time in preparation. We should not- wonder if Drouet was again to be found by accident in this assemblage. f Target, the republican Target, who reftifed to engage in the defence of Lomis XVl.~'was said to have oflirred himfelf as the official difender of Drou- ' ct. This, however, he has formally denied. The conversation hag,"for fume days, turned on a 1 curious negociation said to have taken place hjetiveen c the Jacobin* and some commanding personages.— The efcipe of Droaet is laid to have been a condi- ' tion of this treaty, on the one fide, which was re paid, on the other, by a promise of forbearance un til the next ele&ion.
