The following is the official account of the affair between the advanced posts which took place near Frankenthal, on the 11th of Nov.
The enemy advanced yesterday, with a great quantity of artillery, against a squadron of Latour forming the advanced post near Frankenthal. Count Latour being with a column of the army on his march thither, immediately dispatched Col. Count Klenau, with 5 squadrons of Wurmser, & a battery of cavalry, for the purpose of supporting that advanced post, upon which the enemy cannonaded very violently. Barons Tonou and St. Quintin availed themselves of this favorable moment by turning Frankenthal to the right and thereby falling on the enemy's rear, of whom they took 3 cannon, 2 howitzers, and several ammunition carts; they cut a number of the enemy in pieces, and took some prisoners.
The enemy was pursued as far as Offenheim; at which place they left their advanced posts, and retreated, for the greatest part to Neustadt, at which place Pichegru, with his head quarters had arrived before. After which Count Latour entered the camp of Bobenheim, and placed his advanced posts near Neckarheim. The patrols of generals Nauendorff and Kray brought in some prisoners.
The advantage thus obtained is of more consequence, as the enemy had resolved upon attacking the imperial army with the armies of Pichegru and Jourdan combined, and to drive them conjointly from the borders of the Nahe and the Pfriem.
