The bulletins we have received from the Austrian army on the frontiers of the Netherlands, go as far as the 23d inst. when head quarters were at Bermerain. They contain details of different actions against the French. In that of the 21st, Baron Dorneier, aid-de-camp to Lieut. Colonel Comte Tarcienzier, who was with the Imperial army, as representative of the king of Prussia, was killed by a cannon ball, at the side of field marshal Prince Cobourg.
Adjutant General Sir James Murray reports to his court, on the 19th of October, that in the two actions of the 15th and 16th, which preceded the raising of the siege of Maubeuge, the Austrians had lost 200 men killed and wounded, but no cannon, and took 24 pieces of cannon and two howitzers. The loss of the French, no doubt, he writes, was more considerable. The Austrians then (the 10th) occupied the left banks of the Sambre. Of the movements of the enemy there was no certain account.
