That the F-ench army under Dumourier, and

Cupt. Wray ays the account of the above

it bewail on the 16th March, continued the
whnie day—on the 17th there was a cessation
—011 the 18th the Auftrians renewed the at
tack, having been reinforced, this turned the
i fortune of the day in their favor—Gen. Du
mourier was wounded in the thigh. The
Captain added, tljat it was reported that.
Gen. Dumourier had still an army of 80,600
' men, and had retreated farther into tire Nc*"
therlands—that the field of battle was be
tween the Meuie and Breda—that the French
still held Breda, but it was feared the French
, garrilbn would be cut off. The Capt. could
not tell what was the loss 011 the fide of the
nor wbo commanded them—it is
supposed that it was Gen. Clairfait.

that the king of Spain had never remained nea

and that one enemy more would only be a pre
face of new vi&ories. He therelore propuled,
and the Convention unanimously decreed,
