From the Brussels Gazette Extraordinary.

NIEDERENS, July 10.

PRINCE Ferdinand hath long been threatened with having his right outflanked by the French army. Ever since the Count de St. Germain's march on the 4th from Dortmund to Arenberg, this hath been the principal object of the French body of reserve. Prince Ferdinand expected it, and sent forward a considerable body, which made the principal part of his right wing, to take possession of the heights of Corbach. These he obtained by his whole army, which followed with the utmost speed. Both Prince Ferdinand and the hereditary Prince were in person with this kind of vanguard. Marshal Broglio suffered the enemy to take post in such a manner that they could not decline an action. When he saw them on the heights, he caused them to be attacked by three brigades of the grand army, and two of the army of the Count de St. Germain, all commanded by M. de Waldner. The enemy were routed and dislodged, after an obstinate engagement. Three thousand were slain on the spot, and 800 wounded or taken prisoners. A whole squadron of the English horse, so much boasted of, is taken. Twenty pieces of cannon, of different bores, with three howitzers, are the principal trophies. The Marquis du Chatelet, colonel of the regiment of Navarre, is gone to carry to Versailles the news of this happy prelude to the progress of his Majesty's arms. The action happened in the afternoon of the 10th of July. It is commonly thought the general engagement will be in the neighbourhood of Cassel.

Journal of the French army from the 3d to the 10th of July.

On the 3d the Marshal ordered M. de Clozen to take post at Frankenberg with the battalion of grenadiers and chasseurs of the brigade of Royal Swedish, and those of the regiments of Loraine and Vierzet. Bautremont dragoons, and the Dauphiny volunteers.

The 4th, the Marshal received advice that M. Luckner was gone to Wildungen, and that a body of forces under Gen. Imhoff was encamped near Nieder Urff. Prince Ferdinand had already raised a redoubt before Treysa on the Holzmul. The 4th, in the morning, the Marshal went to reconnoitre the position of the enemy, and discovered upon the heights of Higerheyda a considerable number of pioneers, and perceived the traces of three redoubts on the top of the heights before their camp, on the left side of Schwalme.

On the 6th, in the morning, the Marshal ordered M. de Vair to go as near as possible to the enemy, to reconnoitre the position of the troops they had established on this side of the river. M. Vair accordingly marched with his volunteers and some pieces of cannon, above Veirece, drove back the enemy's outposts, killed thirty of their men, and retired, after accomplishing their business, without any loss, and without being followed.

At even in the morning, M. de Poyanne sent notice, that he had heard a great noise of cannon towards Frankenberg. The Marshal did not doubt but M. de Clozen had been attacked. At ten in the morning M. de Poyanne wrote that M. de Clozen had decamped from Frankenberg on the approach of Luckner, whose force was much superior. The forces under Luckner, which attacked M. de Clozen, consisted of the whole of his own regiment, three battalions of grenadiers, two squadrons of English horse, and 8 companies of chasseurs, horse and foot. We lost in this action, a captain of grenadiers, a Lieut. of the regiment of Vierzet, and another officer of the royal Swedish, who were all three killed, with 14 or 15 private men. The enemy must have lost more.
