Head-Quarters at Wets, December so.
Citizen Minifter—After having forced the paf-
Cage of tlie Salta at Lauffen, the French army
did not lore a moment to purfue the enemy in their
retreat. The right always commanded by Lieu-
tenant-General LECOVINE, advanced towards
Guninden, to march along the mountains and
pars the rivers nearer4heir fources. The 'centre
followed the high road from Saltzburg to Lintz,
and General /ben grow sr, whore divifion formed
the advanced guard, kept continually haratling
the enemy. He repulfed their advanced guard
beyond Neumarkt, took from them foul' fieces' of
cannon, and more thatt 600 men. - .
On the ifith, he came up with them irra firbitg
pofition near Voneklaupick ; our troops charged
them with to much vigour, that more than woo
prifoneii, among whom were at leaft 600 cavalry,
fell into our hinds; General LOPEZ who com-
manded thorn is among the number.
On the r 9th, the enemy changed the troops that
formed their rear-guard, and compared it of red-
, mantles, !lulu% and the huffaro of Mezurot, who
had not been before t ngaged fince the opening of
the campaign. With thele freth troops they en-
deavoured to defend their pofitions before Lam-
Genend ltien spots& and his biave troops
redoubled their vigour and intrepidity, the huLtoo,
and the Mezurots, purfued by our cavalry, found
that our infanti:y lid got in their front in the de-
file of Lembachi where they made a dreadful
!laughter. The Colonel of the huffars was wound-
ed and fell into our hands. The Prince of Ltco-
TENSTfilii, Colonel of the hulans, was obliged to
ihrrender with the chief of his officers; General
Mozotsv, who fneceeded Gen. Lops z in the com-
mand of the rear-guard, experienced the fame fate,
he is alto a prifoner of war. This battle, by which
the enemy left in our hands y or dooprifoners, and
three pieces of cannon, occafioned to them a pro-
digious lofs in killed and wounded. _ _

On the aoth, General RICHIPAIISE toot the
road from Lembach to Xremfmtinfter, being fup-

ported by General GROUCHY. General DEClam,
who purfued the enemy on the road to Lintz, toik
frotn them near
.400 prifoners. The let wing,
commanded by Lieutenant-General G twill, had

pallet! the Salsa partly at Latiffen and partly at
Burghaufen. It gained the road to Ricca; after
having blockaded Brannan, and drove the garri-
fon into the place, with the lots of one piece of can-
non and 200 prifoners. From Ricca it gained the
road to Schaiding, and entered Welz, after long
marches: General LEGRAND, who commanded
the advanced guard, made more thais 300
pri-
loners.

I than fend you, Citizen Minifter, More thintite
details refpelting theft marches and combats.—
Our troops furpafs thetnfelves, and the cavalry
vie with our brave infantry.
The enemy have loft, Slice the pillage of the
Salsa, from 3 to 4000 prifoners, and 8 'pieces of
cannon. This make* 120 twee the opening of the
campaign. The carriages which they leave be-
hind them block up the roads. Yefterday we took
7 or 800.
The right wing and the centre will form a junc-
tion to-morrow at Kreniftnunfter, in order to march
towards Ileyei-ewf ; the left wing will gain the
grand caufe*ay to Lintz and Vienna. We do not
know whether the enemy will form again behind
the Ems. Health and tefpea,
