The army of the Rhine is progressively reinforcing itself with troops coming from Holland, ci-devant Belgium, and the interior of France, as they successively reach their destination. It is in the act of being placed on the most imposing war footing ; and every thing announces, that, conducted by such a General as Moreau, it will be able not only to resist the allied force, but even to compel them to renounce their projects. Gen. Moreau is employed in visiting the whole of his army, and reviewing the corps that compose it. He is expected immediately at the left wing, which extends from Spires to below Mentz. - The forces concentrated in that part are waiting only for the last order to effect the passage of the Rhine and totally disengage the fort of Cassel.
However, this fort is abundantly supplied with provisions and stores from the left bank; in its environs several skirmishes of advanced posts have taken place, which have been attended only with the loss of some men on both sides.
