FRENCH NATIONAL CONVENTION.
ARMY OF-THE ARDENNES.
rr^H E success of the army of the

sanguine expectations. The D<f
patches of the 6:h Floreal, (April
25) state that the army had, been
engaged with the enemy, for three
days fucceflively, and that 1200
Austrians have bitten the dust.
On the feventhof Floreal, (April
26) the army rendered itfelf master
cf the heights of Boffu with con
fiderabje loss on the part of the
enemy? ——

Letter from Pichegru, General in
chief of the Army of the North.
Headquarters aiCourtrai^ PloreaL
Yelterdy the attack was general
on alFthe lines from Dunes Libre
to Giver, and perhaps even the Ar
my of the Rhine; I am ignorant
as yet of what has pafied in the
centre and the right; The left has
succeeded in the attack; we en
tered here about five o’clock in the
afternoon; the enemy did not
make all the refiftaoce of which
the post was capable, and we have
not loft one man. We have taken
100 prisoners of whom four are
Officers of artillery. Ypres and
Menin are Rill occupied by the
enemy, but already blocked up by
different bodies of troops, who are
waiting for those who are here; and
who are ready to attack the latter
when (hey shall have-made sure of
their ground. At Courtray there
are leveral magazines of forage,
hay, grain, &c. We hope to ob
tain part of it. We are going to
put into a state of requificion the
iron, steel, hides, &c. and we will
drain from the country every thing
that we can.

Letter from Richard and Cosrdieii, Represen
tatives of the army oj the North.
Head Quarters, of Flamertin,
10 Floreal, 26th April.
We expert the result of the General
Attack. On the left we have had the
most brilliant success. We are in Fumes
and Countray. We continue our vido
rious march into Belgium. We learn
in the mean time that the army of the
Ardennes has triumphed at Beaumont,
and that the junction of the division of the
‘Ardennes and Maubeuge has been effect
ed, which puts that place out of danger.
Out attacks of the center in the grand
army have not been attended with brilli
ant success. Thnce We have attacked,
but victory is dubious, owning to the dif
affedion and cowardiceoffeveral officers.
Richard repairs thither. The ardour
arid confidence dfthefoldiers are at their
height. There are only in Menin 5000
men* and thirty pieces of cannon. We
wilh there were more. . -

In the diftrift of Luxembourg, Gen.
Jourdan foil keeps possession of Arion by
which means he has cut off the commu
nication between Ue army of General
Beaulieu and that of the Prince of Saxe
Cobourg.
They write from Valenciennes
of yesterday’s date, that since the
18th only, the Austrians have loft
3000 men killed-, and as many
wounded. —The wounded are dik
posed of in the private houses in
Valenciennes and Le Quefcoy; for
they arr’ivehourly in such numbers,
as to make it impossible to dispose
Os them in hospitals and churches.
The capture of Oneglia (a port
town in Italy, situated on the
Mediterranean) is of the utmost
importance to the French, for situ
ated on ihe sea shore it will facili
tate the introduction of provisions
and other necessaries into,France,
and will also expose Piedmont to
the irruptions of the enemy.
Pichegru is still stationed a (hort
distance from Courtray, which is
covered by bis camp: his army
is very numerous, and fluflied with
their late success, are likely to dis- *
pute with us the possession of the
fertile country of which we are
now matters*
The loss of the Austrians, in the
late arays, amount to 3500 killed
and taken prifoners* with the loss
of 22 pieces of cannon,&c.
Theenemy, besides gaining very
considerable plunder, have, by
their incursions, completely de
ranged our plan of operations.
Pichegru, by his present posi
tion, obliges the Post, &c. from
this to Oftend, to go round by
Ghent; and so great has been the
apprehension of the Frencb ad
vancing to Ghent, that the great
est part of our Military Stores
have been removed from thence to
Antwerp.
OSTEND, May 1.
