ORDER OF THE DAY TO THF. :STII LFGION OF THE GENDARMERII4
Mentz, Oct. 31, ten o'clock at
" Gendarmes,—announce every where, that yesterday, a t nano
near Frankfurt, his MljeAty the Emperor exterminated the Bava-
rian and •Atrsti ian united army, *Well intended to block op the
road against him. His Majesty will to-morrow be within the walls
of Mentz, the prisoners taken at finnan, mill-arrive in the suite of
the conqueror. Announce again that the return of our august
Sovereign must take away all uneasiness respecting the enemy's
projects.
" The present shall be conveyed by an extraordinary messenger,
viz.—lst, nom Mentz to Gemersheim ; Yd, another messenger
from Mentz In Wesel. Each Brigade will read it, and announce
this happy intelligence to all the authorities and inhabitants. ,
" The Officers of the Gesph!rmeric wcll hasten to announce it in
the rear of the line of the Rhine, and pat ocularly at Coblents,
Treves, Cologne, and A ix-la.Cliapelie."
RADiTART, Nov. Suiiii:l)3 of Leipvic suffered on the
day of the 19th of October ; the allied troops plundered a great
number of houses in them. The interior of the town was nut so
badly treaied, no house in it was linnit.
The Russian General Prince Repuin has entered Leipsie, and
taken upon him the office of Governor-General of Saanny, ny
announcing, that the Coalesced Powers had coi.tided to him the
supreme administration of civil and military affairs of the' kingdom
in the Melly of Altenbourg, and the countries of the Princes of the
Reuss. He acted so much under the influence of the British Cabinet
that he immediately caused an Ordinance to he punlished, by vvluctt
are annulled all edicts issued in the kingdom of Saxony, relative to
the impost laid upon colonial products, the prohibition of English
merchandise, and the prohibition of importing cotton or thread
goods coining from Prussia. This decree published in the other
Maxon towns, had spread consternation alining all the inanufactur..rs
in that kingdom, who see in this measure the ruin of their manufac-
tures. It is known. the Snots merchandise had an immense sale,
since English goods were prohibited.

BAVONNE, 30.—Since the affair of the Bth, in which the
English were repulsed, no remarkable event has occurred. The
weather has set in cold, and the mountains are already en' erect
with snow. It i 4 not thought the enemy's General will undertake
any thine before spring, and at that epoch it is doubted whether he
will he in a condition to assume the offensive. Our army has been
reinforced, and Isis is much diminished by the desertion of the..
Spaniardt, and the soldiers of the foreign corks in the pay of England.
The day before yesterday wt deserters arrived ; yesterday 90. A.
day does not pass without some deserting to us. Towards saint
Jenti.Pied-deport an entire post of 90 men, almost all Andalusians,
leserted with arms and baggage. These are positive facts, and
which, besides, ought not to excite astonishment, as the enemy's
army must necessarily. suffer much in the position it occupies ; the
English and Portuguese want for notkive, :whilst the Spaniartkete
!wittier clothed. nor fed. This differevee excites jealousy, and the
latter, who willingly made war in tlitir respective provinces only .
remain by compulsion in line. Tim Chrefs of bands who were
independaet, with difficulty conform to subordination, and with
.pain see their best soldiers taken from them to be incorporated with
the regniar troops.
It is certain, that from Vittoria to Valladolid, there are guerilhie
which hold the eotintry, and which do not even respect the Englisll
convoys.
Onr works daily advance, and will soon be completed ; they will,
in case of neeessity, be vigoroesly defended; but if since the Bth,
the enemy has not considered Itimse:f in it condition to attack us;
anti if' he has tranquilly seen our troops erect, under his eyes,
entrenchments ; it is not probable that he will undertake any t• ing
serious at a moment, when Or means of defence-are ready-, and the
must formidable works are executed.
