RE MEAT OF BONAPARTE AND HIS ARMY ACROSS
Tilt: RHINE. •
Wednesday, French papers were received to the 7th. in-
stant. They contain a bulletin, dated October 31, giving
an account of BONA PA AT E'S retreat from Erfurt tr:? Frank-
fort, and claiming a victory over the united 'Bavarian and
Austrian army in the neighbourhood of the latter city.
This army, commanded by. General WAXER, had marched
from Branau, in order to cut off BON AP A RTE'ill his retreat
from Lcipsic to Frankfort, and that object, it appears, had
been very nearly accomplished. • The bulletin estimates
General \VREDE'S force at Go or 70,000 men. On the
29th, the French were met at Gelenhausen by the advanced
.guard of this army, about 5000 or 6000 strong, which. was
driven back og Hanau, where the main body had assembled.
On the following day a.battle took place in that neighbour-
hood, which is stated to have terminated in the defeat of thus
Allied Army, with the loss of 10,000 men, including 6000
prisoners, several colours and pieces of cannon". The loss.
of the French as usual, diminished, and is on this occasion,-,.
reduced to the singular disproportion of from 400 to 500. .
men.. Though such statements cannot be credited, it is
probable that the enemy had the advantage in this affair,
since we find that he effected his retreat to Frankfort, but
we are peruatled that.the loss on both sides has been nearly
equal. BoN AP A LITE does not pretend to have pursued the
Allies, who, lie says, retreated towards Aschaffenburgh, and
thus left the road to Fr ankfoit open to him. The head-.
quarters ever e established at Frankfort on the evening of the
30th. I3v subsequent unofficial accounts iu the French pa-
pets, we learn, that early on the ea instant, BON A P RTE
entered Mayenee, and his army, or its remains, stated at
100,000 men, crossed the [thine ; so that no French force.
