defend it. No toollei. was aCcaniplithed,whi-n
the enemy debauched along the bridge of Belay, and
advanced against the division /Vlontrichard, which
was supported by the division 'Clause!, I imine7
diately ordered General Clausel, with General
Dczons, and the Bth regiment of light infantry;
to coisS the little
.river which lay in our front seed
maintain a position on the small heights, whichl the
voltigeura had made themselves master of.
The enemy marched against us in ft columns
I quickly 'drew Up the division of Montrichard, and,
ordered the centre column, commanded by General
Soyee, to make an attack,-w bile the 79th regiment,
commanded by Colonel Ghard, held the right wing
of the enemy in check. The attack of the 'centre
column, consisting of the 18111 light infantry regi-
ment, was particularly distinguished. The enemy
were thrown into confusion, and lost three pieces of
ar i,tery. In this farriops attack, General Sovez was
severely wounded. I inaMediately ordered the t Bth
et;giment, supported by the sth, to advance against'
the left wing of the enemy, who were forced to re-
treat ; and the obstinate resistance Which they made
only called forth new efforts on our side. The elle-
tny having made a new effort„ were received by the
nitli regiment with their usual courage; and Were
attacked in their turn. This attack was so'fiei-Ce
that the enemy threw themselves' into the liver',
where a great number of them were drowned; all
of them thatt bad crossed the liver would have been
annihilated, hid not 12 piecos at cannon, which
they had placed 'on the opposite bank, presented an
obstacle to the further pursuit of them. With this
saran the day ended.
On our left vk lag General Launay was severely
wounded, During these all'airt th'e enemy sent off
six battalions to attack the position which was held
by the Bth regiment. This corps; one 'of the bravest
in the French army, under the command of Colonel
Bertrand, withstood this attack with great valuer and
firmness. After many fruilles*s_efforts torake the
position by storm, the enemy were bti,ird itt enclea:-
*touring to turn our troops, who *Old thus hAve
been placed in danger, when I orderedOeueral Claus
eel to advance with:three battalions of the I lth, to
giment, not only to relieve and support our troaps,
but also to aa offensively, and to threaten the retreo
of the whole,Corpa of the enemy. In these circutn;-
stanCes thelftb.relkment maintained its ancient re-
putation; in less .clean three-quarters of an hour
tlui enemy lost by assault, oreyacuated all their po-
anions, and this/ result put an end to the battle.
. DUring-the night We were diligently ernployed.in
.restoring the bridge which was broken down.. My
resolution was to cross over. by., it with stay whole
force before the break of day, in order to come up
with the enemy as soon as possible, not supposing
that they would postpone their retreat one moment.
Rut the restoration of the bridge took up more time
than / bad imagined, andt he transport ot our wound-.
ed was so difficult, that by mid-day the troops were
stun in readiness to, advance. , On tire other hand;
the enemy, with 4 or 6000 men, had made en
offensive movement, marching upwards along, the
Licea. This resolution of the enemy appeared to
arise from the near approach of remtortements, sent
by General Knesevich, and' which; as was said,
viere scarcely a Idw miles WE Vevertlieless the dt-
vittiou crossed the river without oppo-
sition; so that while the head of our columns made

demon.tratihn towards the pass into the low court- I
try, the enemy's tripcips that, were advancing up the
VOA retreire'.d, and drew ttp betureva in order of
battle %Alth seven battalions, and a great number of
Cannon) tor the purpose of di4outtos, the passes
through which we 11401 descend irons the heights '
into the plat.
Gen. Arizona, at the head of the gadastgimenr,
gained as much ground as possible on the bank of
. the river, and nO sooner were the Stivaatt toll re-
giments drawn up, than they advanced against the
enemy, and 'forced him to retreat. lo ,a moment
we gained xutticient ground to be able to combine
the army without winger. The approach of night
prevented us from derivingadvantage from .these ope•
rations, and at day-break we .tin longer saw the
enemy.
On the aSd we entered Gospich. On the 20
we marched upon Ottoehatx,
,and came up with the
enemy at Jails, who retired on our approach. Oa
the admit we ariived beiore.Ottochati, where the
sear of the enemy's army had posted themselies, six,
battalions strong, with cannon and baggage.. The
bridges being broken down, we took a circuit round
the morasses of Ottochatz. Gen., Delzons, at the
bead of the ath regiment, supported by the ead,
droire the enemy Iront all the positions which they.
'occupied, in order to cover the high road. Had not
Gen. Montrichard been, three miles behind, the rear
of the enemy would have been destroyed, and all
their cannon and baggage taken. In the night they
retreated with all expedition to Carlestadt ; some
baggage, however, fell into our halltiS.
On the se6th we reached Segel], and on the 215th
Fiume, where the army assembled on the 2911., and
from whence we Shall march on the atst, in order
to unite with the army of Italy.
In this short campaign, about 6000 of the enemy,
have been placed hors 'de combat. There has been
a great number of deserters. We have either thught
or marched fourteen.hours every day ; and the sol-
diers, in the midst of privations, toils, and dangers,
have shewn Themselves worthy of the good opinion
,1t your Majesty. [Hue follow the usual praises be-
stowed on several of the Officerq
1n the three ditferent battles, we have had 400
killed and wounded.

FBA NRFORT, JuNE 1 8 .—Yesterday the corps under
she Duke of Brunswick entered Wprtzburgh, driving
the two French divisions before, them, the Prince
Primate, King and Queen Of SAXONY, with :heir
Suites, having arrived the day before for safety.—
The ,French party are packing up all their movable
property, and we are in hourly expetiation and
,dread of the arrival of the —Austrians, .whose num.
hers cannot be well ascertained:, and all that is
known on that head is, that according as they move
their force augments rapidly. It is now reported
that the ,Austrians, under one of the Archdukes, have.
gained a great vittory.
It is still asserted by some that Schili has not met
With his tats at Stralsund, but eisca‘,)ed to the island
of itugen. , .
