OFFICIAL DETAILS.

Army of the Sambre & Meuse.

Moreau, Commander in Chief, to the Executive Directory.

Head-Quarters, at Amiens, 26th Thermidor, Aug. 15.

On the night inst. Aug. 8. we attacked the Enemy in their position at Nereheim. They were repulsed with the loss of 450 men, who were made prisoners.

On the 2nd we reconnoitred, in order to find a proper position for the Army, which was extremely difficult, from the nature of the Country.

On the 3rd, we attacked the Enemy's Advanced Guards, which we defeated. Their loss was between 450 and 500 men, whom we took prisoners. A dreadful storm and the darkness of the night prevented us from profiting of our success.

On the 24th, Prince Charles, having received strong reinforcements from Galicia and the interior of Austria attacked our whole Line. Our right flank was repulsed, and the enemy proceeded to Hohenheim, where our Etat Major-General was, who retreated to Kenigborn, so that the Enemy occupied an extent of four leagues on our Rear; but this movement did not disconcert us.

Our advance guard had likewise been repulsed. but the Corps de Reserve arrived, and on receiving instructions renewed the Battle.

The enemy's chief effort was directed against our right. Gen. St. Cyr defended his Position, with the utmost bravery, although attacked by a great superiority of force.

The Right of the Left Wing was likewise attacked with vigor. The state of the ground permitting us again to act offensively, General Desaix made a spirited attack, obliged the enemy to give way, and took two hundred Prisoners.

The reserve of Cavalry, placed between the two attacks, kept the Enemy in check, and prevented them from passing between the two Wings.

The two armies, after an obstinate contest which lasted seventeen hours, remained inactive the whole night on the Field of Battle, and at day-break the Enemy retreated.

The success of an attack was certain, but our convoys of ammunition halting on account of the retreat of the Head- Quarters, precluded us from the possibility of hazarding a Battle, which, for want of cartouches, we could not have supported above 2 hours; besides, it was necessary that our flankers should fall into their position on the right. The enemy's guard was stationed in the most judicious manner.

If they had retained the position which they occupied the preceding evening, I should have attacked them to-day; but they retired behind the Vernitz, and are about to pass the Danube. Our light troops are in pursuit of them. They have already reached Nordlingen. The whole army will immediately follow them.

I dispatch a Courier without delay, convinced that the enemy having been close on our rear, an alarm has been excited, and apprehensions entertained for our safety. I shall transmit to you the particulars of these three actions, which reflect much honor on the courage of the Army, and the professional talents of the Officers who directed their operations in the various attacks; but it is impossible for me to do it now. Indeed we have been so intent upon our object, that for six successive days we have scarcely alighted from our horses.

The Army is almost exhausted with fatigue, but victory makes them forget their excessive labours. The Enemy estimate their loss in these Conflicts at 7000 men, killed or taken Prisoners.

I have this instant received a dispatch from Gen. Ferino, who announces the arrival of our troops at Bergen, where they took several mortars, a howitzer, four culverines, and 18 pieces of cannon, between 30 and 40 large barges, and about 40,000 sacks of oats, barley and flour.

I am almost exhausted for want of sleep, and from incessant fatigue. We have just received the grateful news of an important victory gained by the army of Italy.

Signed, MOREAU.

Ernouff General of Division, chief of the Etat-Major-General of the army of the Sambre and Meuse.

Head-quarters at Lauff, Aug. 11.

The Enemy did not wait our arrival; they quitted their position last night at 11 o'clock. A few men, whom they had left as a picquet, fled at our approach.

Adjutant-General Ney appeared before the Fort of Rottenberg. He dispatched Citizen Bayzmann, his Colleague, to summon the Governor to surrender. The Officer, observing that the barriers of the Outworks were opened to admit a flock of sheep passed with six Officers in their regimentals. and entered the interior of the Fort without any opposition, even without being recognized by the sentinels at the different Bridges.

The Governor, confounded at the audacity of the enterprize, immediately capitulated. The Garrison were made Prisoners of War. In this Fort was an arsenal, well stocked with provisions and ammunition, and 43 pieces of cannon in bronze, half of which are of a wide calibre. This Fort is situated on a mountain, and is not commanded by any other eminence. From its local situation, it intercepts the road to Amberg and Bayreuth.

The Enemy left as a train of four a.
