STUTGARD, August 21.

We have no authentic news from the army of general Moreau ; we only know, that the division of the right, under general Ferino, has made great progress towards Augbourg.

In the last affairs which took place between the 10th and 14th, this general took upwards of 32 pieces of cannon, according to the report of persons arrived from Ulm.

The peasants who had armed themselves in the environs of Bregenz and Lindau, in imitation of those in Tyrol, dispersed at the approach of the French, and returned to their homes, very glad to get off so cheaply.

There are hardly any more French there at Lindau ; the corps that captured that city advances, without obstacle, against Fuech, and the out-posts are even reported to have reached the defiles of Tyrol.

The army under the command of the Austrian general Wurmser retreat to Weissenhorn, Murrau, and Pforzheim.
