"To announce another battle is only relating another victory!—The brave Kleber has totally defeated near Altenkirchen, the body of Austrian troops which meant to stop his march; 12 pieces of cannon, 4 pair of colours, and more than 3000 prisoners, are the testimony of the triumph of the left wing of the army of the Sambre and Meuse. Magazines of provisions, forage and ammunition, which was thought to be in safety by the enemy, have also been taken by him. He pursues the course of his success, and is actually on the Lahn. Gen. Grenier has passed the Rhine, at Neuwied, and has effected a junction with Kleber. This reinforcement enables him to act powerfully, and to cut in pieces the tardy succours, which Prince Charles has sent to Wirtemberg. Gen. Jourdan aids this operation by two regiments of cavalry, which are about crossing the Rhine to join the corps on the Lahn.

Never was there a diversion more scientifically conceived and more vigorously, more ably executed.

Soon will the seat of war be entirely on the right bank of the Rhine.

"The commander in Chief will forward a more minute account of the affair of Altenkirchen, and will send you the colours taken from the enemy.

(Signed).

"JOUBERT."

P. S. In the first report of the affair of Liege, we only supposed about 100 or 1200 prisoners; we now find upwards of 2000; the hussar regiment of Barco alone, lost more than 600 men.
