" To announce another battle, is only
relating another viaory ! The brave Kleber
has totally defeated near Altenkirken, the
body of Austrian troops which meant to flop
his march ; 12 pieces of cannon, 4 pairs of
colours, and more than 3000 prisoners are
the testimony of the triumph cf the left wing
of the army of the Sambre and the Meuse.
Magazines of provisions, forage and ammu
nition, which were thought to be in fafety
by the enemy, have also been taken by them.
He pursues the course of his success, and is
actually on the Lahn. Gen. Grenier has
puffed the Rhine at Neuteied, and hast ffe£t
ed ajun&ion with Kleber. This reinforce
meat enables him to a& powerfully, and to
cut in pieces, the tardy faccors which Prince
Charles has sent to Wirtemberg. General
Jourdan assists this operation by two regi.

the Rhine tojoin the corps on the Lahn. —
Never was there a division more fcientifically
conceived and more vigouroufly, more ably
