neral Nauendorf, in which the ImpenjlilU at lad low
got the better.
/ WURTZBURGH, September 3. W,
// The jd ad and 3d inft. were remarkable days nen
/for this city. On the id ind. half after two P. M- acc
ihe alarm was given, that the Imperialids were at cen
jthe gates, and almod in the fame instant a detach- hot
anient of Au(lrian light-horse earoe along the-ftreet whi
the Auguftines towards the Mayn bridge. The con
French, by no meant prepared for such a visit, hur. the
rted some into the houses, some into ,tbe fortrefs ; den
those who fell into the hands of the Imperialists, tffei
were cut to pieces. The Imperialids galloped e- i
very wherethrough the city, and nothing could eflei
wtthdand their bravery. Tow aids evening more Lef
troopi rode into the city, and others encamped covi
round the fame. The enemy now commenced a med
dreadful cannonade from the fort which laded from the
5 o'clock in the afternoon of the jtt, until three f
o'clock in the afternoon of thethiid without any Gbt
intermiffioM ; the terrors of the inhabitants were ihe
to much the greater as they fired into the city, and ed t
some people were killed and others wounded.— at C
Twenty (hot fell on the city hall only. The garri- C
fan of the fort absolutely refufed to surrender, tho' fron
furrour.ded in some parts already, and tho' the heavy he v
artillery, fortunately for us, had been removed fame malt
days before. lutic
On the 2d towards noon General Grenier arri- wait
ved vyith his division from Aindeis, and towards prov
4 o'clock in the afternoon one of the hotuft en- the
gsgements commenced which laded till late in the on t
night but was not decisive. General Jourdan who of t
had been all along in the neighbourhood of Swine-, ry ft

It furth, arrived in the night with his whole army,
I not and towards morning Archduke Charles likewise
rorld wiih 8000 men cavalry ? With break <Jf day the
like battle began in the neighbourhood of this aity, with
sand unexampled obdiuacy ; long was our fate in fur
pence ; at lad at 4 o'clock in the afternoon we
fen- heard, that the Audrianshad obtained the vidtorjr.
1 in- Soon after General Hotze made his entry into
aron this city and was received with loud acclamations j
van- the dead of the French lay in heaps, 4000 are said
lbli- to be taken prisoners. The French in their re

our lorijlhip is already informed of the move th

the army was assembled in the plain betwixt For- ofi

upwards of twenty battalions and fifty re;
um'er the command of lieutenant-general Brzary;
had reached Eberacb ; and threatened at once, b) cai

Wurtzburgh.
Early on the 31ft the archduke entered Bsir

the enemy, determined t® pu(h on with the who), pr,
army towards Wurtzburgh ; a. being the point on Pr
the occupation ef which depended the pcffibility pr<
of forcing Jourdan to abandon the Meyn, and take an,
his retreat through the-country of Fulda, on the qu
Lahn. His royal highness proceeded in the even wit

at Lltmann, and general Stzary advanced to Klo
1. Iter Schwartzach.
On the id ot September the jsrehduke marched p"i
to Ober Schwarjzach, general Kray to Gerolddtof

pafled the Meyn : his atlvanced guard under gene
