The French made Jwolalfe attacks on Lenu and Wehrdorff, ol both which places the Aullrians had again polTeffion.—General Werneck im mediately sent a reinforcement to Wehr dorff. About two in the afternoon, the French under General Lefebvre and Grenier, attacked the town from the fide of the forell of Aberbefg, with 1 8,000 men. The Aullrians had only their advanced troops and light troops on the fide of the town. The affair was at firft considered as of light impor tance ; and Werneck, therefore, only brought up the regiments from the camp behind town. But these were not fuf ficient, as the corps of Werneck only confilled of 7 or 8,000 men. “ The Aullrians in the firft two hours loft many brave men but between four and five the Archduke Charles arrived, and headed the troops himfelf. This inspired the soldiers with new courage, and turned the battle in our favor. Till 7 o’clock the event of the day was doubtful. Had the Aullrians been com pelled to retreat, our city would have been exposed to the moll imminent dan ger. [Wards evening arrived fome Aullrian regiments, and about seven o’clock 9000 Saxons. These decided the vi&ory. “ General Werneck in person, at the head ol the regiment of Karaczay, for ced up the mountain, took five pieces of cannon, and the Saxons, on the left wing two. The heavy artillery also now |a;ne up, of which the Aollrians had I tore been in want, and, abont 9 o\- <lock the French were reduced to flight, driven beyond Altenberg.

The Aullrians are already at Sinn, fout leagues from this place. Ten pieces of cannon and a number of pris oners have just been brought in. Same date — ten o'clock at night. ” Our brave defenders are following up the advantages they have obtained with the utmost alacrity and resolution, and excite in us tho hope of Hill greater successes. “ Fifty French fuiileers have been brought in here, made prisoners at Her born, four leagues from hence ; as also seven chafleurs and a French commiflary with his chell from Dtllenburg.

The Aullrians are at Lahnberg, three leagues from hence, on the road to Weilbourg ; the latter town was yester day morning evacuated by the French. As the French are already driven from the vicinity of Herborn and Dillenburg, the whole of the Aullrian army will, to-morrow, pass the Lahn in pursuit oi the enemy. u The Aullrians have fuffered con siderably in the late a&ions ; but the F'rench still more—-Some eftimatc the loss of the latter at from two to three thousand men killed, and from r 700 to 2000 made prisoners. iC It is asserted that Gen.

On each fide the great clt obltinacy was evinced, but the loss of the F'rench was infinitely more consid erable than ours: for after having been driven from several redoubts, which they sealed three different times, our cavalry pursued them to a great distance.
