Reports are in circulation, which, although sanctioned by some of the highest names in the kingdom, we can only state the rumor of the day. According to these reports, the French, who on the 23d ult. occupied the strong position at Haguenau, from which they had driven Gen. Wurmser, gave orders to their general for improving this advantage. They brought him to a general engagement on the 24th, in which he was totally routed, his artillery, stores, and camp equipage taken. On the 25th, they attacked the Duke of Brunswick in his entrenchments, forced them with the slaughter of 12000 of his men, and drove the remnant of his army into a situation in which it was supposed they must either be cut to pieces or lay down their arms.
