The Arch-Duke Charles, who returned some days ago from the army, set off again this day to the Rhine, whither we are assured his baggage will follow him. Considerable reinforcements arrive daily here for the army of the Meuse. The French collect their principal force near Tirlemont and Tongres, where their army is now said to consist of 60,000 men, since the surrender of Valenciennes and Conde. They have a strong intrenched camp before Zutphen. After several movements in the environs of Helderen, Rymps, and La Feld in which the outposts of both parties came very close to one another, the French advanced to Tongres. Gen. Kray on the other side of the Meuse, received besides some reinforcements of troops, 16 sixteen pounders, and has since made a diversion through Bilzen. From the Imperial camp at the Chartreuse near Liege, a detachment of troops has been sent to Huy.
September 14.
All the Austrian Officers, who were absent upon leave, have received orders speedily to join the Army. The last letters from the Court of Vienna are expected, and General Mack will be the bearer. The whole army is in motion. The head quarters will, it is thought, be removed to Maestricht this day. The army crosses the Meuse from time to time. Every thing announces a decisive action.
