PRINCE OF SAXE COBOURG.
" I am eager to inform you, that
it is my intention to give orders to
my Field Marshal, Moilendorf, for to
leave behind a corps of 20 000 men,
under the command of Lieut. General
Kalkreath, to withdraw the rest of my
army from the environs of Mentz and
to march towards Cologne, I requ^ft
you, for that purpose to take the ne.
ceffary measures, that the retreat of
the most considerable part of my troops
do not turn out advantageous to the
enemy, but that the fortrefs of Mentz
—and the empire in general, remain
covered again ft hollile invasion. It
being in ether refpeas necessary to
make arrangements to procure to the
troops on their march the necessary
provisions on the road to Cologne,
their departuft will not follow so ra.
pidly ; and those troops shall not file
off at once, but by divisions. Yon
will therefore, have time fufficient to
make the necessary disposition. I hope
at the fame time, that you will have
the goodness to take such measures,
that when Field Marshal Meilendorf
shall have finished his preparations,
and when by virtue of the orders re
ceived, he shall have informed you of
the days on which the troops shall de
parts the execution of this resolution
do not fuffer any obftarle.
