ENERAL CUSTINE's attempt to deli- VJT ver Mentz, though it had hot the d6firsd fdcteO, yet tn part succeeded. The following are the particulars of it * On the 16th tuft, he detached 16,000 men from t ie army of the Moselle towards Mentz; £nd to occupy the attention of the Pruilian corps commanded by the Prince de Hohenloe,an invasion was made Into Deux Ponts; and about be tween t?ie 16th and 17th, a corps of 5000 men also sallied from Landau, and whiUt the de tached corps filed off by Spires, this corps at* tacked the Auftrians and the corps of French emigrants under the Prince de Conde on one fide, whilst General Cuftine, at the head of the principal divifton of his troops, attacked them on the other. The a (ft ion, which took place 011 the morning of the 17th near Belheim* was very warm J the emigrants defended themselves with great courage against supe rior numbers, and the Anftrians ailed with equal bravery. At the commencement of the action itHvasTuppofea the French would have had the advantage, but. the Imperialists and emigrants remained matters of the field, and the French were obliged to return to their former posts without having executed the ob je& of their attack, which was to penetrate as far as Mentz. In the French account of tlie aftioli, they attributed the failure of it to two battalion* of volunteers, who by mistake fired on their ownChafleurs, and a third threw away their arms before they saw the enemy. The Auftrians in this affcion, which lasted three hours,had 132 men killed and wounded, and the emigrants had 60 or 70. The latter loft four cannou at the beginning of the ac tion, but they were afterwards retaken.— Some prisoners were taken on both fides. One emigrant .ftiot himfelf rather than fuffer himfelf to be taken. Though Gen. Cuftine failed in his chief end, he reaped this advan tage : Gen. Wurinfer the next day thought aroper to remove beyond Queich, and fix his camp there ; and the French advanced posts are now in the place where those of the Auf trians were. R H I N E, May 21.

All the particulars re »► p'eftnt learn «>f thii event are, that the ' Frcnc'u in three columns, attacked the Auf trians and the corps of Conde near B.liion, iferxheiiu, anJ Rullheim, and after an action of three hours, obliged their enemies, who were much'iiilerior in number, to give w»y_a Tlie French General Ferrere had pulhed for ward tu within an hour's march of Spires, but there he was repulfcd by tlie Imperialist : tbe lofj of the latter Is reckoned at 130 kilted and as many wounded. The corps of emigrant J fiiflered very nil uch, and loft four picces of cannon, which, ham-' ever, the Auftrians retook again. It is laid, that'notwithftanding the advan tage of this affair rells 011 the lide of tire French, yet they loft a vast number tpo rente* than the Aufti'ians and emigrants. Bv accounts from Marvheiin, the Pfti/ii4c».i under Coll Siekuli., have t*ken 530 and nine pieces of cannon, near Neueiikircbin.- The French have again estcied the Be waldj and their advanced posts reach as far,as Kuarth.

The Dutch troops attacked the enemy at Moucliin,drove them beyond-Orchies, and took 60. prisoners. The Pruflian troops attacked them at H»f non, di ove. them info the Abbey, and took their fortifications, but could not force them from the Abbey, 011 account of a large moat filled with water, which surrounded it. The. Imperial corps de reserve carried the en trenchments at A'ubry, and the French, know, i ing the importance of the post, made a num ber of dsfperate effjfts the whale: day to re cover it, bat were always repulsed 'with loli, and were at last obliged to abandon a flag and several cannon. The centre aflaulted anjl carried the redoubts which covered the rigMt of the brook of Ronelle, near Afaoi, and toot 7 cannon and ton waggons, with ammunition. The left wing took the entrenchments hear ' MarefchS and Aftre, aiid the redoubts at Vil lerfpol. In the latter they found & of cannonj and 4 waggons wfth ammunition ; and the Imperial troops of Baray took redoubts and abattis of the enemy on the caufwayat Quefnov, and pursued the French beyond the woods of Anfrojpet. Night cool ing on, Prince Cobourg and Gen. Clair fait thought it proper to let their troops reft from the fatigues of the day, with a determination to attack the ne\tmorningearly the camps of Fatnars and Anain ; but when the troops tile next morning (the 24th) went to attack them, they found the enemy had through terror, during the night abandoned them entirely. Part of the French forces threw tliemfelvcs into Valenciennes, which the allied armies immediately inverted, and part retired by Denain to Bouchain and Cambrai.
