prisoners. Only the General himself, with 50 men,
were able to effect their escape. The rest of this

keep themselves ail" respectful distance, and if sun-
dry reports may be believed, not without some in-
quietude concerning their situation. The fact is,
that they are entrenching themselves—that -they use
all precautions—that they make no reconnoissances,
unless with numerous detachments—that they do not
go out to forage.--and that they occupy only the
large iillages,
We have been a long time without knowing with
what enemies we had to deal : we at length find that
it is with the pavarians.
The' patroles from Kehl daily resort to the vil-
lage of Suntheim. The enemy likewise come there
when we are gone.. This village is not occupied by
either party.
For some days past, a bridge of boats. has been
established between the great Island in the Rhine
and the Fort of Kehl,.besides a great bridge, the bet,
ter to secure the communication between our place
and Kehl.

have not been disturbed, and we livebere in as peat
tranquillity as if in entire peat*.
MILAN, NOVEMBEIt 26
We have certain intelligence that the Plince of
Ecling bas received order=s to march with hi; army in
Italy, on the side of the territory of Genoa. A corps
of 122,000. men is now marching by the road of Tmin,
while the King of Naples will advance with his army
upon the Po.

WORMS, NOVEMBER 26.

The city and environs of Mayence are very tran-
quil, the troops which arrive from the interior repair
:o the cantonments assigned for them, and the irmy
is in the best disposition.
The Austrian and Russian van-guards, which are
at Wickert and Weilbach, in front Of Frankfort,
make no kind of movement; the French are observ-
ing them, and ready to repu;se their attacks.
The enemy is not very numerous in ascending the
Rhine, and even keep themselves at a distance from
its banks ; tilt:), know that the troops which form the
cordon on the left bank are well entrenched, and
their measures so well taken, that at the first signal
a respectable force can be waited, and present itself at
all points,- in such manner, that they have cause to
fear for themselves. The Rhine is likewise well
guarded from Mayence to Cologne, and, conse-
quently both commerce and manufactures have re-
turned to their usual channels; and the countries of
Liege, Cleves, Juliers, and Aix-la-Chapelle, can
scarcely perceive that they are situates' so near to the
scene of hostilities. .
