In the night of the 4th and 5th. the ene-
my completed the passage of the Danube to
the left bank, and very early in the morning |
large bodies appeared on the plain. About
mid day all the points Of the line OF the I'm
perial add Royal army were attacked. lhe |
principal Efforts of the enemy were however
directed against the centre, with the view
no doubt TO penetrate it; but all his attacks, |
repeated with the greatest fury, and supper |
ted by his numerous artillery, among which
were several batteries of heavy cannon, re-
NAMED Iruitless. At ten at night the fire
ceased. The Imperial and Royal army had
along the whole line maintained its positions,
and had made great numbers of prisoners,
among whom were many Saxons, Badonese,
Italian and Portuguese soldiers.
On the 9th, about four in the morning, the
enemy renewed his attack with larger mas
ses and greater fury than on the preceding
day. All his efforts against the centre and
right wing were without effect; the latter
had even obtained such advantages, that a
complete victory was expected, when The
enemy with fresh divisions and great supe
riority suddenly forced the left wing near
p Neusidel. and conpelledit to fail back. AS
one flank of the Imperial and Royal Army
was thus threatened, his Imperial highness
the Generallisimo thought it right to order
retreat by Hamsdorf and the Sizamberg.

retreat was accomplished in the best order,
and without any remarkable loss.
Inc loss OF the enemy on his centre and
lett wing was very great. We made 5000
prisoners, among whom were three gene
rails. We also took twelve pieces of can

Before the greater part of our Readers
will have received this days Courier, the
expedition will have reached the first point
or Its destination, and struck the first blow
The first and second divisions of the Expe
dItion, sailed early yesterday morning, and
were sooa clear of the Downs. Admiral
Otway. with the remaining division of the
Expedition, sailed at five this morning.
In the mean time more horses, troops and
artillery are embarking, and we have pro-
badly bysthis time, on the encmy's coast, the
largest force that was ever sent from the
BRUSH shores at one time; perhaps between
40 and $4,000 troops.
Three islands lie at the mouth of the
Scheldt, Cadsand, Walcheren and Schowen
The possession of these islands is necessary

troops in Walcheren, which it is supposed
will be sufficient to cope with 80. 600 assail-
