She town of Neuss, near Dusseldortt and capturing the ene-
my's magazines. The success of this bold exploit seems to
Pave greatly nettled Gen: Sebetatiani. • He attributes
the circumstance, that of the two Colonels stationed there,
ore was asleep, and the other up away ; and that the soldiers
Lander each of these ollicersfollowed the example of their
• respective commanders.—The head-quarters of the French
