The Kentucky Gazette

The Hamburgh mail due yesterday arrived in town this morning, and brought an account of some further advantages gained by the victorious Austrians over the flying French. Different accounts from Frankfort of the 21st ult. mention a second action to have been fought at Okeroth, on the 20th. in which the French were defeated with the loss of 1800 men left dead on the field, 700 prisoners, and several pieces of cannon. These accounts further state, that the column of French retiring from Neuweid, is cut off, and must either surrender or be drowned in the Rhine. But it appears from gen. Jourdan's letter to the Directory, that they have effected their passage over that river. The French are retreating with precipitation to Dusseldorf, and the Austrians are pursuing them thither with equal rapidity. The former are said to have lost no less than forty pieces of artillery in their retreat.
