I -lemy oa this occasion amounts to above a thou
,:d men, of whom fix hundred are prisoners.
The archduke advanced on the 7th to Afchaf
fe wheie the main body halted on the Bth
—but intelligente being received that the enemy
F hi'! abandoned Frankfort the preceding night, the
* advanced guards were pushed on-fuccelfively to the
Ki tzigand the Nidda.
On the 9th, his royal highness marched to Det
tingen, and on the 10th to Windecken ; the ad
vanced corps occupying the important point -of
Friedfcerg.
£ " Ten thoilfand men, drawn from the garrison of
Mayenc*, have advanced towards Konigftein (which
v»as abandoned by the enemy on the Bth) and will
|£ be .1 very effentiai reinforcement of infantry la the
I army.
Tlie coiifrquences of these rapid and decisive
[ movements have exceeded the of the
' molt ting nine, and have unifoimly fruftrated the
tlefigns and efforts of the enemy.
Jourdan, jwlio after the action of the 3d, had
\ dirtied his retreat on to Fulda, was Hill in hopes
of gaining before the archduke, the strong pofi-
I lion of Bergen, where, reinforced by the two di
t vt(i*irs which had been left behind in the neighbor-
I hood of Frankfort, he might have checked for a
ttirr.e the progress of the Auftrians. In this view
he arrived by forced matches at Sehlaititern, on
ft. the great road from Fulda to Hanau, in the even
irg of the 6th ; but finding that the duke was al
ii ready matter of Afchaffenbourg. he gave up his
P- attempt ; and, turning to the rijjkt, directed his
Jf march across the VogelTberg, towards Wetzlaer,
\Vhere, it is reported, he is endeavouring to assem
ble his army.
From information of the mod authentie qature,
relative to the ptefent firuation of the French troops,
i I can venture to assure your lordship, that they are
Bjn a state of the uttnoft eonfuflon and despondency.
A great part of the iftf<Tr,tr/"liave thrown away
' their arms, and are almost naked. Their retreat
has, all semblance of order, and has become a
tumultuous flight.. Excefiive fatigue has probably
destroyed more of them than the sword ; and the
continual dread they apprehend of a general rising
K- of the peasantry in the countries they traverse, has
spread a panic among them, which renders thqm
deaf to the commands of their officers. The loss
i which Jourdan has fultained since he advanced from
may be estimated, without exaggeration,
jff at twenty tboufand men ; a number which must be
F daily increased by desertion, in the piefent (late of
his army.
\ The condu£t of the French, during their abode
C jn this country, has exhibite.l a scene of depravity,
which is degrading to human nature. Robbery
and peculation have been universal in every rank
P »nd in every department of the army.
Every species of violence has been exercised an
the persons as Well as on the properties of indivi
* duals. Many villages have been reduced "to ashes,
6 without the existence of even a pretext for this aft
; of barbarity; and the countries, through'- which
their armv has pasTed, exhibits every where a spec
k lal'lr of the ntmoft d«folaii(>!'_an<l_Htftr<-f».

« The division of general Maffena, pasTed the
, Adige, 011 the 16th, (Sept 2,) at Galo, and arri
ved at the Alps on the 17tb, following the great
a road of the Tyrol; the fame day, at two in the
morning, our cavalry, sabred the advanced polls of
-the enemy, and took from them fix pieces of can- .
non. The division of general Angerau quitted Ve.
rona at the fame time, and bore upon the Heights
p that feparatethe Venetian dates from the Tyrolcfe.
" The division of general Vaubois departed at
the fame time from Storo. By the left fide of the
lake of Garda, his advanced guard arrived at Tor
gola, where he was joined by the brigade of gene
ral Curetife, who had himfelf embarked at Salo, on
the lake of Garda ; his advanced guard, comman
ded by the gen. of brigade St. Hillaire, met the
I enemy at Sarca, routed them and took fifty priso
ners.
" On the 17th, at night, general Pigeon, com
manding the light-infantry of general MafTena's di
vision, informed me, that the enemy in force had !
< retained the village of Seravale, that he had recei
ved orders to attack it; that he had forced the ene- 1
my, and msde 300 prisoners.
" On the 18 (Sept. 4), it day-break, we found
on'rfclves in the presence of the enemy ; one of
their divisions occupied the impregnable defiles of I
Motco ; another beyond Adige, prote&ed the in- f
; trenched camp of Mori. General Pigeon, with a 1
part of the light-infantry, attacked the enemy with f
his riflemetf ; brigadier general Victor, with the '
18th demi-brigade of infantry, pierced b,y, the great <i
' road ; this inflant gen. Vaubois attacked the camp c
of Mori ; after a vigorouscontell of two hours, the fl
enemy every where fell back. t
Citizen Marois, my aid-de-camp, carried an c
order to gen. Dubois t« advance the. id regiment
of Huffais and pursue the enemy. This btave ge
neral put himfelf at (heir head, and decided the as-
fair ; but he received three balls, which mortally
wounded Mm. One of .his aids de-camp had just 11
been killed at his fide, an instant afterwards I found "
the general expiring—" I die (said he) for the re
public—WoulS that 1 had time to know whether
the victory is complete,"—He immediately expired, a
" The enemy retired to Roveiedo. I ordered b
general Rimpont to pass with the 32d brigade, be-, o
tween that town and the Adige ; general Vi&or, in o
the mean time, entered at full charge, theynain- .tl
ftieet ; the enemy again fell back, leaving a great
number of dead and prisoners. During this time
- gen. Vaubois forced the entrenched camp of MoVi,
and puriued the enemy on the other bank of the
Adige. It was one in the afternoon, the enemy
profited of the difficulties of the country to front
us in 41 the defiles, and effected their retreat to
Trent. We had then only taken three pieces of
eannon, and loo© ptifeGers.
r " General Maflena caused all the half-brigade 1 !
1- to rally, # and give a moment's repose to his division,
during which we went, with two fquadroosof ca-
F- valry, to reconnoitre the Hiovements of the enemy
h in their retreat. They rallied before Callieno to
y cover Trent, and give time to their head-quarters
e to evacuate the place. Though beaten all the day,
C their position before Callieno was inattackable. The .
Adige almost touched the steep mountains, and for- j
:- med a pass of 40 toifes broad, closed by a village,
I- and elevated castle, and a good wall, which joined
if the Adige to the mountain, wheie they had placed
all their artillery. New difpolitions were neceTary.
if General Dammartin began a cannonade with eight
h pieces of light artillery. He had chosen a position
II which commanded the narrow parts of the aaoun
e tain. Gen. Pigeon pasTed with the light-infantry
upon the right: 300 riflemen threw themfclves up
e on the (hore of Adijje to commence the fufil
e lade ; and three demi-brigades, in a cl?fe column,
e and in batalions, pasTed the defile; the enemy har
raffed by the lively fire of out artillery, and the
3 boldness of our soldiers, did not refill the m»fs of
s our columns, but abandoned the entrance of the
- pass. Tertor spread through all their line. Our
- cavalry pursued. Citizen Marvis, with 50 hufiirs,
• gained their head, and (topped the whole column
a of the enemy. He crofTed it, and was himfelf fur
/ rounded, thrown upon the ground and wounded ; a
11 part of the enemy's force marched over his body ;
- he is severely hurt, but none ef his wounds are mor
tal. The chief of the ift regiment of hulTars is
s killed. Citizen Flifliere, captain of my company
s of Goides, saw two pieces of cannon, on the point
, of escaping ; he flew upon them with five or fix
- guides ; and, notwithstanding the efforts of the ene
my, (lopped the pieces.
, " Six or seven thoutend prisoners, 25 pieces of
, cannon, 50 caiflooas, seven (tandards—fuch
e fruits of the battle of Roveredo, one of the mofl
. fuccefsful of the campaign. The other loss of the
r tSTiiVy omft have been contrtierabhf.
t "On the 20th, at Bin the morning, general Maf
i fena entered Trent. Wurmfer had quitted it in
1 the evening, to take refuge by Baffano. General
: Vaubois, with his division, soon marched in pursuit
r of the enemy, whose rear-guard was entrenched
3 L#vis, behind the river Lavifio, and guarded the
i bridge which it was necessary for us to pass.
j " General Dellcmagne, not without much diffi
-1 eulty, pasTed, under the fire of the enemy, at the
, head of the 25th demi-brigade. General Murat
; passed at the- head of a detachment of the ioth J
f chasseurs, carrying an equal number of infantry. L
General Leclerc, with three chasseurs, and citi
: zen Defaix, chief of the brigade of Allobrogi, n
, accompanied by twelve carabiniers, had been *
r able to turn the enemy, and place themfclves in 1
: about half a league in advance. The
enemy's cavalry, as they were saving themselves at
1 gsllop, found themfclves flopped. Eeclerc was
. (lightly wounded. The enemy endeavoured to open
, a passage, but the 12 carabineers crossed their bay
onets, and formed an inattackable rampart. The
1 night was already dark ; 100 of the enemy's huf

Fellow-Cititrnt,
At a period when the peculiar situation of our
country calls f»r no common (hare of wifdotJt, pa
triotism aod finnuefs in the- chief magillraie of the
United Stales, are we summoned to the choice of
ieleflors.of a PrrGdent and Vice Ptefident, and on
the ptwdence of tbat choice, will in a great tnei
fure depend our future p ace and happinefg. Whilll
the desolating sword of War isdeftvoying the fail
ed countries in Europe—Ametica is kept in peace.
The wife and prudent system of policy, adopted by
our present adniinillration, dispelled the ck>nds
which for a while darkened our political horizon,
and ft cured to our country prosperity a«d happiness.
We are now to determine, whether, approving
of the meaiures adopted by George Wmfh'ington, and
fenCbleof the tleffings they have conferred on our
co»ntrv, we will choofc eleflors who have uniform
ly evinced an approbation of hiscondudt, and may
therefore be expedted to give thyr fufTrages in fa
vor of men who will probably continue the fame
fyltera of wilt and patriotic policy.—lf such be
our determination, the perfbns now recommended
will naturally become the objects of our choice.
To the prudence of those republican eitiiens, sin
cerely attached to our national government, we may
fafely eutruft the power of making appointments
so important and interesting. «
With na'defire of dictating to our fcllow-cili-
zens, and with no interest but what is common to
all, do we address you. The hapjiinefs of our coun
try is in-- 'jived in the choice that (hall be made, and
we thererjre solicit your warmest exertions in sup
port of eta rafters whose fuffrages will ensure the
, peace and prosperity of the United States.
