Marshal, arrived yesterday at this place; the necessity of the
inve.iment of Plfazhourgh, which is on the great road from
!'ll•iShollrg to Paris, and the march through the defile and passage

~!illcry, made the undertaking of yesterday almost Herculean, the
me and earr.ages were drawn up, by parties of soldiers, rocky
that appeared inaccessible. ; the road had been made in the
:pace of somit few hours, to avoid the fortress, and to shorten the
march ; but the difficulties were too great, added to the intense heat
of the weather, to get the trains and guns through, and the Field.
Marshal has found himself under the necessity of balling this day.

The Bavarian army will be directed from Nancy on Ligny,Vetryt

The Russian army follows in two columns • the right on Chafe's;
Salineo, by Pont a Monsoon, St. Michael, columns;
and Epernai.
The left and the head-quarters of the Sovereigns, by Digny, St,
Dizier' Vetry and Montmiral.
The Austrian or left wing of the army also operate in two column.
The tot corps d'arnsee support the Russian left, and follows La
Courbe from Betort towards Langres and Chaumont, or whatever
direction he may take.
The td corps, as your Lordship already knows, continues its
operations iu the Vallee du Rhin, and blockades Straibourg.
The 3d corps, being relieved there, marches by Mutzig,Mirecogrt,
Vitry, and on Fere Champenoise.
The reserve from Colmar directs itself on St. Diet and Mirecourt
and unites with the 3d corps, taking care of the blockades of Schlett-
stadt and St. Maurice Aux Mines.

I fear J may intrude on your Lordship's time by a repetition of
detail; but to point out the marches clearly. it is necessary continue
ally to revert to the operations of the main corps.
tour Lordship will observe, that by the separation of La Courbe anJ
Rapp, and the possible detachments that either may have made, as aiso
the uncertainty of Sachet's line of retreat, together with the number ne
strong places we have to blockade, me shall be liable to have small
corps and detachments of the enemrstarting up in different quarters;
they may even gain particular successes in out rear; but the best
precautions have been taken by the Prince Field-Marshal consistent
with our scale of operations, and nothing essential can affect the grgpi;
niovement.

The ar►►►ies will be assembled at Pere Champenoise on the 14th. 1

P. S. Intelligence has just arrived, 'that the Archduke Ferdinand,
in investing Neubreisach, had a sharp action. The village ref
Wichelsheim was strongly occupied hy the enemy, but they were
driven out by the Austrian righ»ent of Wurtemberg. The Arch,
duke's advance was to be at St. Marce aux Mines, the Ist July, og
which day the investment of Schlettstadt was to take place.
Count Colloredo had another sharp action on the 29th, in the
neighbourhood of Refuel. In consequence of the nature of th
ground, the opposition was great, but the A ustt ian loss is trifling,
Imperial Head-Quarters, Nancy, July 6, /W.
My Lonn.—The Allied Armies of Austria and Russia continan
their advance towards the capital of Prance ; there have been many
sharp actions- with Gen. Lacourbe and Rapp, as also ou the aide of
Marshal Sucliet with Gen. Frimont ; these I shall endeavour shortly
to detail, and your Lordship will perceive, by the vigour and intre-
pidity with which the detached corps office armies, and the Austrian
army of Italy have handled the enemy that opportunity is only want,
ing tOr them to emulate the great example of the 18th June, which
will live its the memory of these great military nations for ewer.
To commence with the progress of the advance, :Marshal W retie,
instead of blockading Tonl, threw bridges over the Moselle at quo
nellray, and on the td had his head-quarters at Ligaiy.
The Commanders both of Toni and Marstall'refused, on being
summoned, to surrender those places.
The Field Marshal has taken meagnes to invest them; but front
• the impediments on the great line of road to unr advance, and the
Corps Francs, which are in movement in different quitters in onr
rear, and have attacked baggage. &e. 6:c. with success, the mareil
has been slower, and the communications more difficult ; however
by military it easures which haVe been adopted' here, the lines of
communications with the rear will be better secured, and sonic Co.
tonnes Mobiles will be formed, to clear the different passes of 04
Vosges, and the great forests and close country.

General Czernichef was on the 19th m Rheitus, and pushed fot•

affair. it appears according to the best information I can procure, the
he sent on about one hundred horses, as an advance, wider Culotta

assembling, and seeing that they had been surprised sod furred, twine.-

trated, made good their retreat by dashing forward to the Paris gate, at
