be written to the Commandant, of the battalion
by the Ntajor-General.--The Emperor left Erfurt
on the 25th. -

4' Our army, lets operated in tranquility its
movement on the .'dein. 'Arrived at Gelhnhausen
on the 29th, an enemy's corps of 5 or 6,000 men
was perceived, ‘ehieh we learnt from the prisoners
was the ad‘atteed guard of the Austrians and lea-
vet ian army: his mlvaneed guard Was repulsed,
and compelled to retire. The bridge, which the
enemy .bad cut down, was promptly re-establish-
ed. We also, learned from the prisoners, that
the Austrian and Bavarian army, frinn 60 to
70,000 strong, coming front Brannan, had arrived.
at Henan, and thought to block up the road of
the French army.—On the evening of the2f)th,
the tir.dleurs.of the enemy's advanced guard were
pushed beyond the village of Langensbohle and
at Oven in the evening the Emperaeand his head-
quarters were at that village,. at the castle of
issenhourg.
"..0n the 30th, the Emperor mounted his horse
at nine in the morning ; the Duke of Tart:taunt
advanced with 3UOO tirailleurs, under the 'orders of
General Charpentier. The cavalry of Sehastiani-,
General Friant's division of the guard, and the
cavalry of.the old guard followed ; the rest of the
army was a march behind. The enemy had placed
iix battalions sat the village of Rnekingen, in or-
der to intercept all the roads leading to the Rhine.,
Sane cnnnon-shot and'a charge of cavalry made
their battalions retire :with precipitation. Ar-
rived at the skirt of a wood, two leagues from
Harlan, the tirailleurs soon, engaged. The enemy
Wilfi forced into the Wood to the point.of junction
between the old and new ro;A. ,tScof heitt g able
to oppose the superiority of our infantry, he en-
deavoured to avail himself of bk great numbers ;
he extended his fire on his right. , A brigade of
2000 tirailleers of the '2(l corps, commanded by
General pribreton, was employed to, check him ;
and-General Sebastioni caused to be executed with
seems, in the open- part of the ,wood, several-
charges on the enemy's tireillettrs. Our 5000
ti-
railleurs'tht;s kept at hay the whole enemy's army,
gaining time imensitily till three in the "afternoon.
" The artillery having arrived, the -Emperor
ordered General (Arita to 'advance at the prev de
churge upon th‘e enemy with two battalions of
chassenrs, and drive them beyond tl,e defile ;. Ge,
neral Drouct to •debrinche on the plant with 50
pieces of caution ;
,NansOuty. with all Sebastiani's
corps, and the cavalry ache, old guard, to charge
vigorously the enemy in the plain.
" All these diSpiThitioll3' Ware cXP,CtIy eeeeted.
Curial overthrew several battalions. At the were

sight or the oil gnarl, the Atistrians am]
rians were terrified. From fifteen to fifty pieces
of cannon were successively placed in 'battery,
with the activity and Coolness which distittgui,sh
Drone'. General Nan4outv advanced on the right
of these batteries,, and charged 10,000 of the tine-
tny's cavalry. by General Leveque. Major of the bid
guard, by the St. Germain division of cuirassim,
and successively by the grenatii:srs and dragoons
of the guard. All these charges had a fortunate
result. The-. enemy's cavalry were overthrown-
' and sabred , many squares of infantry were
broken ; the Austrian regiment Jort'is and the
hulans of Prince Schmitt zenherg were entirely
destroyed. The enemy precipitately abandoned
the road of Frankfort, which he blockaded, and
all the ground occupied by his left. lie retreated,
and soon fell into complete route.
It was five o'clock : the enemy made an
effort on their right to disengage their left, and
give time to the latter to retire. General Friant
cent two battalions of the Old Guard to a tarin-
hou,e, ..ituated on the old road of Ilanatt, The
enemy was driven from it, and his right compelled
to retreat, Before six in the evening he bad re-
passed in rout the little riser Kintzig. The vic-
tory was complete. The enemy who, pretended to
pluck up the whole country, was obliged to eva-
cuate the road to Mom and Frankfort.
" \V have made 6000 prisoners, and taken seve-
ral colours and pieces of cannon. The enemy
had six Gene.'als killed or wounded. His loss is
about, 10,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners ;
our's only from .1 to 500 killed or wounded. We
had engaged only abOut 5000 tirailleurs four bat-
talions of the old Guard, about 30 squadrons Of
cavalry,'and 120 pieces of catmon....--At day-break
Of the 31st the 'cnemY had retired upon Aschal-
fenburg. The Emperor continued his movement,
and at three in the afternoon was :it Frankfort.—
The colours' taken in this battle, stud, those taken
at ‘Vachatt and Leipsic, have been sent forward
to Paris. The cuirassiers, the 'mounted grena-
diers', the dragoons, made brilliant Charges. Two
squadrons of the. Cordes d'li'amzeur, of the sth
regiment, commanded by Major Salucis, particu-
larly distinguished themselves, and gave reason
for presuming what may be expected from this
corps next spring, when they will be perfectly or-
gimised and disciplined.
" The Generalof Artilleryof the Army, Nourrit,
and General Devattx, Major of Artillery of the.
Oilard, have merited to be distinguished ; Gen.
Let art, Major of Dragoons ,in the Guards, altho'
wounded in the battle of Waelut, would charge at
the hetpl of his regiment, and had his horse killed.
Oa the, 31st, in the evening, the grand head

viso, with two divisions of the young guard and

The King, your Master, 'forgetting What the Etuireror has
dime for him, has declared war against- France, Under such
circnnistances, the Bavarian troops which are with the army
might he disarmed, and mule prisoners of war; hut that
would he contrary. to the coafidence which the troops under
his orders should have in him. In consequence, Monsieur,
his Majesty's intention is, that you slionl•i collect voor but-
.have.m ti agazaes given you, and 'four days
provisions ; and yon MIA set out front hence to proceed by
cobourg upon Banihrre, where you will tat ,e your orders
from the Minister of his Majesty the King of Bavaria.

horionrand loyalty,t hat you should hear areas against Fruiter.
In Consequence, it is the Emperor's wish, that you and your
officers should give your word•of lioooor, Vait neither you,
nor your soldiers, shall serve ogainst France 'previous to the
expiration Of one year.
