That part of the combined army, consisting of Austrians and Prussians, commanded by General Clairfayt, which threatened Lisle, and had taken several advantageous positions round that place, has quitted them, in order to advance against Conde and Valenciennes, which will probably be the two principal points of attack. While this movement was effecting. the corps commanded by Lieut. General de la Tour, after having given a false alarm to the intrenched camp of Mauberg, advanced against that place to blockade it, and to cut off entirely its communication with Valenciennes. These measures were attended with the desired success.
On the 23d, a very smart engagement took place between the advanced posts in the neighbourhood of Maubeuge. The French having advanced in great numbers. forced at first some posts of chasseurs, but soon after our people, being reinforced, obliged the enemy to fall back in disorder.
