An official bulletin of the grand army, dat ed at Anjfburg the n t h of ftatea that.the battle of Wertingen, was followed within 24 hours by the battles of Gunefburg. The mar- ihal Key advanced a column of his ar my ; the divifion of Loifan upon Langenau, and that of Maiher upon Guneiburg. The enemy oppofed this moveaienr and was total ly overthrown. It was in vain that Prince Ferdinand haffiened in perfon to the defence of Gunefburg. Gen. Malhgr attached the place with the 59th regiment. The battle became extremely obflinate. Col. Lacuce was killed at the head of his regiment, and in fpitc of the moil vigorous refiftance they car- i vied the bridge at the point of the bayonet, Seized thewhkh itj Slid th^ fome men killed and others excellent pofitioa of Gunefburg remains lu mu' poffiffion. The enemy, after having made three unfacccfsfui effiorts to recover the place, retired. The details of the engagement cannot be given for feme days. The enemy loft more than 2,500 men in this engagement. We have made 1,200 pri- foners and taken 6 pieces of cannon. Wc have loft 400 men in killed and wounded. The major general d’Afpre is among the prF foners. The French army have entered Ultn. Several Auftrian Mazagines, among them thofe of Fridberg, in Bavaria, had fallen into the hands of the Franch.

Thefe events will make a very ftrange re volution among thfe Englifh Gazetteers, who had the trumpet already in their mouth to found the vi£fories of the third Coalition ! What has'ever ruined the Engliffi Miniftry, what will again ruin them in the war, is.the blindnefs with which they give themfelves up to fantaftical projsdla. On the ode hand they have always computed the aggreffive dower and the military means of France up-^- on too narrow a fcalc ^ on the other, they have ever confidered as efficacious, alliance, Utterly impoffible: they thought to unite for their pofit interefts abfoiuteiy irrecouci- Icable they \have conftantly exaggerated means of attack impoffible to rcalife. Thus they bad no lefs a plan a month ago, than to attack the Firench in Italy, in Spain, in Yen- dee, in Holland and Hanover. But when the news of to-day reaches London, the peo ple will begin to perceive the emptinefs and folly of the proje£i:s of the Miniftry, that Ruffiai can neither march in concert with Auftria, nor fave her from a defeat already decided. They will perhaps begin to ac knowledge, that the money voted for fub- fides, jmight have been better employed 5 and they will think themfeks very happy if they do not ferve for the aggrandizement of the power, whom they made fuch a cowardly ■attempt to deftroy; an attempt which e- ven deprives them of the vainglory of fight ing France, fingle-handed I 0£tober 18.
