The French head-quarters are already transferred 11
/to Andernach, on this fide of the Rhine. Last J I
night an express arrived here from that place, with 11
orderi to remove the magazines here to a place of c
, Cifety. Great part of the French Sambre & Meufe j t
army, i« making through the territories of Treves I e

HEIDELBERG, September 12. >
It is supposed, that we shall have foen some feri- I d
work in this neighbourhood. Several thouiand I E
•men, cavalry of the army of the archduke,' have si
arrived here. They have this day been joined by a N
part of the garrilon of Manheim, at Schwetzingar,
and marched towards Bruchfal, wbese the garrison in
of Philipfturg, the siege whereof the French have ac
enrirely raised, will join them. We expc£t there- F
fore an engagement between the imperialists and th
the French, who have here about 4.000 men under
general Eckenneayer. The peasants carried lately '
180 French prisoners, and two pieces of'cannon, E
1 through this place to Manheim, without any further
\military efeort.

j BRUSSELS, Sept. rz.
The retreat of the army of the Sambre and I g n
Meufe, under gen. Jourdan, is more serious and de j
ciftve, than it was at firft thought to be. The re- —
publicans being eonftantly purftied and attacked by ( '
an enemy of superior force, have been compelled to I —
fly in a hurry, that they were obliged to leave j ~
artillery, baggage, and in particqlar ah amaxing I
I number of killed and prisoners behind them. The j
I word yet remains. The different columns of ge- i
neral Jourdan's army had to a£l separately in a
country which is .divided into narrow passes, and
I thus every one was separately worded in a dreadful
I manner. In such a preiling fitualion a decided part j
I was to be taken, in order to save the remains of
I the army, and therefore g«n. Jourdan gave orders! Anc
I to all these columns to rendezvous on the right bank
los the Mein. The ftaff of said array was already
Jat Frankfort on the sth inft. and also troops at or '
j about that city entirely worn down fey fatigue and I
I hardships, and most part without clothes and Ihoes. |
j These troojjs-arriving in great disorder it is to b<
J inferred that the misfortune of the republican ar
rhe \m7 be very considerable. All the baggage
I and artillery of reserve is to be sent to Limburg I
in-J HQ 'he Labn, whil/l the army will choose a good I Sil.

,M the river with a considerable force, and if they aic So
h e J not arrested in their career by unforefeen events, it j parte

Tlt will be obliged to re-cross the Rhine. Gen. Mo-1 ?!'
