Haguenau, where it was evident the enemy would
odeavour to arrest our progress as long as he possi-

On the arrival of General Walmoden at Seitz, he
rossessed himself of that village after a trifling skir-
mish, but had hardly secured himself in it, when the
enemy made a vigorous auack upon his position, and
ende.ivoured to retake it; he however maintained
himself against a great superiority of force, but not
withrut suffering considerably, having had about five
hundred men killed and wounded.

Tne enemy retired from before the position of
Genell Walmoden during the night, and be is'
dou.!'.:is this earning at Donsenheim, and his ad-
vanced posts most probably at Gambaheim, which
would place theM on a line with ours at Brumahl.

sharp action. The tillage of Wiekelsheim wit

out by the Austrian regiment of Wurtemberg. The
Archduke's advance was to be at St. Marceau:
Mines, the Ist July, on which day the investment ef
Schlettstadt was to tike place. Count CoBored() had
:another sharp action on the 29th, in the neighbour-

Mt LORD—The Allied Armies of Austria and
Russia continue their advance towards the capital of
France ' • there have been many -sharp acti-es with
Generals Lacourbe and Rapp. as also on the side of
Marshal Suchet with General Frimont ,- these if shall
endeavour shortly to detail, and your Lordship will
perceive, by the vigour and intrepidity with which the
detached corps of these armies, and the Austrian
army of Italy have handled the enemy, that oppor-,
tunity is only wanting for them to emulate the great
example of the 18th of June, which will live in the
'memory of these great military nations for ever.
"re commence with the progress of the advance,
Marshal Wrede, instead of blockading 'Pout, threw
bridges over:the Moselle at Ch snelleray, and on the
'2d bad his headquarters at Ligny. The Comman-
ders both of Toul and Merman refused OA being suns-
mined, to surrender those placei.
The Field Marshal has taken measures to invest
them ; but from these impediments on the great line
of road to our advance, and the Corps Francs, which
are in movement in different quarters in our rear,
and have attacked baggage. &c. Ste. with success, the
march has been slower, and the communications more
•difEcult ; however, by military measures which have
been adopted here, the lines of communications with
dull-ear will be better secured, and some Colonnes
Mobiles will be formed, to clear the different pains of
the Vosges, and the great forests and close country.

through Nancy, and is this day at Pont a :Musson.
